Heh, yes, the scholars and scientists would be a greater hindrance than a help to the actual defenders.
Our greatest enemy is going to be the weather, but you're right, we can't ignore the other factions.
Here are the steps I propose for building a base: First, pick a defendable site close enough to Minerva that we don't wear ourselves out getting from it to our attack positions, but out of range of the defenders' weapons. Terrain may force us to build further away than we want, but we'll see when we get there. Second put up tents and covered areas to protect the men, equipment, and supplies. Third, construct a walled compound big enough to hold the entire force, and begin building barracks, the infirmary, the mosque, and other quarters and buildings including an armory and stores. Fourth, send the trucks back to Astrakhan to be refitted for cold weather operation and to pick up the next contingent of troops and more supplies, including cold weather gear for the men. The armored cars and enough guards would be sent along to discourage bandits. Fifth, move the men into the barracks and the stores and equipment into storage areas as soon as they are ready, and finish the defenses.
As soon as the site is chosen, we send out spies and scouts to find out where everybody else is, and what they're up to.
What do you think, and what else would you like to see us do?
