Space combat is something that has been discussed many times before on this forum; however, discussion on the subject has mostly involved technical debate, with the uncertainty of tactical and strategic influences on these matters clouding things to a large degree. Thus, I have decided to start a discussion based on the postulation of a specific scenario and end goal of a campaign, to stimulate discussion from a standpoint where a set situation for space combat to occur has been established.
Thus I propose a speculative exercise in which anyone who is interested in is welcome to take part; the discussion of how one would go about the invasion of an alternate, habitable Venus from Earth, using as close to modern technology as possible. I have attached a .pdf further outlining the scenario to be used as the basis for discussion.
The exercise is meant to be iterative in nature; first, it will be determined how Venus, as described in the PDF, could be invaded, and then from there, what the best defences to invasion would be, and in turn what would be the best defences to these countermeasures, and soforth.
