I noticed in the latest update on the situation on Baltimn, that there are two bases remaining in the standoff against Ulyanov. One controlled by General Preston, the other unmentioned. I would like to play this other base and its combined forces. I would assume that over time, the loyalist forces would slowly gather together as they had to abandon other areas, thus the combined arms force here. The goal with this force would be to make Baltimn more interesting, and add another element to the political enviroment, which I believe is missing, those that are fed up with the Cale regime, however still stand against Ulyanov, his policies, and brutal tactics used in the taking of Murmann City (which I'm surprised some members of the Senate have not caused much of a fuss over).

I vote to APPROVE:

3,800 regular troops
24 commandos
15 T4-B tanks or 15 AAC-1 tanks or 14 TH-130 fighter tanks
8 HTT-26 troop transports
6 V-wing Airspeeders

The problem with the combined numbers you mention is that the remaining bases are surrounded with Ulyanov's troops, tanks, and artillery and the New Republic has air superiority, so the Baltimn military forces have no freedom of movement or, at least, not enough to coalesce into these two remaining bases. A single base probably wouldn't have enough food or water to feed that many troops, or enough fuel to keep those vehicles going since presumably all supplies have been cut off and the base is surviving on whatever it has left.
