(For the title of this post, see here.)
Scanning S' Anton from above through a telescope, Loklann plans the attack on the spot:
men from his ship, the Buffalo, will parachute onto the plaza in front of the temple (cathedral);
the Stormcloud men will attack a large nearby building that might be a chief's dwelling;
Coyote will attack what look like barracks and parade ground;
Witch of Heaven men will land on the docks, seize defense guns and the strange ship and join the attack on the barracks;
Fire Elk men will land inside the east gate and send a detachment to secure the south gate, thus preventing escape by civilians;
from the plaza, Loklann will send reinforcements where needed.
Having given these orders, he jumps over the rail.

That's good practice, when you don't have radio links. And obviously he's trusting the ship's captains to exercise flexible judgment depending on what happens, without asking him to come and hold their hands.
Kaor, Mr. Stirling!
Again, I agree. From a military POV, Loklann's plan and orders makes perfect sense, as long as he knew his subordinate captains were equally competent.
Ad astra! Sean
