Couple of notes:
I love these defense ideas. We'd probably go with a modified hedgehog defense with more of an emphasis on defense in depth. Reason being, we don't have much in the way of special forces anymore. Groups like the Keleres were the special forces, but most of them got owned by the deathbots (produced by an as yet unknown enemy faction), so most of what we have left are the standard army troops.
I should probably decide on exactly what forces Minerva has, but would love your input, sebastiangrey on what are believable numbers.
Here are some ballpark first ideas for numbers.
Overall Population: 500000 (100000 in HQ city, 200000 in the immediate surrounding area 150000 in the smaller black circle and 50000 in the larger black circle).
Military Forces: I'm estimating that there is probably only 1% of the population is active Aegis military (due to Minerva's emphasis on tech, not numbers). So 5000 soldiers + all the necessary non-soldier personnel? These are all heavily armed and armored infantry, tanks, aircraft, etc.
Probably a good 20 tanks, 10 heavily armored APCs, 20+ lightly armored APCs. 10 gunship helicopters, ~10 troop carrying/medivac helicopters. Definitely a fair amount of unmanned drone aircraft that can be used (like the HAWKS in chapter 1, up to bigger things with missiles and stuff). What else?
Oculus also has their own forces. They have spies and agents that can infiltrate and do damage, as well as some security defense forces that can help in a pinch. Probably a good 5000 total as well. These would all be more lightly armored, better suited for manning defensive towers and stuff.
So that's numbers. We can probably say we have the engineering productivity to have made or make all the fortifications and etc we want. We can even wire them to explode and stuff so the invaders can't take them. I was figuring we'd be trying to evacuate outlying villages, and rig them with traps for when the invaders move in to search for resources and stuff.
Aircraft, trained teams attacking supply lines and etc.
