I need a name for the D. C. airport used as a foothold base by the Jaffa invasion anyone have ideas, it needs to be within say roughly 30 kilometers of the coast for the 16inch guns.
Hiding under an overpass isn't a bad idea the Jaffa are rather out of their element with both their weapons, training and experience. The urban sprawl and road network is something that is almost unique to Earth.
Boston will see large numbers of Death Gliders and fires from them flying around almost randomly firing their weapons at everything, but really only badly damaging the wood frame buildings and all the airports.
The Jaffa would recognize the importance of a bridge, but an overpass isn't something they wouldn't think was very important, after all it doesn't cross water and when you add in how resistant reinforced concrete will be to a Death Gliders relatively tiny plasma cannon most Jaffa Pilots are going to focus on target they see their weapons quickly damaging.
The jaffa are going to be going wild, but slowly gravitate to attacking civilian homes, moving vehicles and airports and aircraft just because those are about the only things that their weapons are effective on.
It seems cruel, but the death Gliders that discover oil refineries, tank farms and other such vulnerable targets are going to be the US military's main targets and those death gliders won't last long, it's the ones that discover how flammable the standard wood frame house is that last the longest and ultimately reach the states just west of the Mississippi river.
Naturally the Sky scrapers and any other large buildings of the cities are going to be targets, but the Jaffa are going to be very discouraged by how tough reinforced concrete and metal building protected by automated sprinklers systems will be to small caliber plasma bolts. Jaffa Pilots use to firing a few shots from their weapons to shatter stone foundations and burn entire villages are going to get extremely worried when they discover that it's taking literally hundreds of shots to even get a sky scrapper to burn for more than a few minutes.
Better to attack those funny buildings all rowed up on the roadsides that start to burn after only 1 or 2 shots fired into them and they make it so easy for their god to see what they have done.
The Jaffa quickly learn to respect the "Slaves" aircraft and to recognize a airport so all aircraft and airports be they military or civilian are going to be priority targets for the Jaffa Pilots as they spread out.
