The strategy of using 20mm AA Quads to mow down defenders was a great idea, except for the fact that it only worked on the marines, and after they have taken heavy casulties, they begin to duck into cover as they call for back up. The 20mm AA Quads weren't as effective against the paratroopers, who, to be honest, could have been in a movie with all the moves they were making. Some were climbing the bridge and jumping off or entering, some were jumping off the side of the ship but grasped the deck with their hands, slowly inching towards the AA guns, some even charged and hid amongst the bodies of the dead. But basically, the 20mm AA Quads could have barely hit the paratroopers in the first place, and soon, a large amount was overrun by the paratroopers, who took very light casulties. In case rest of the secondary armaments were turned upon the boarders, the Heavy Cruiser Squadron turned their weapons to the secondary armaments and begin to fire HE to damage them enough so that they wouldn't be used as they took damage from the Blood Dawns 530mm guns.

As the 530mm guns began to show their damage on the secondary guns and engines of the Cypress II Classes, the surrounding Flotilla decided they had to do something, so they began to giving HE artillery support as the Heavy Cruiser Squadron engaged in a slug out with the Blood Dawn, this time switching to AP rounds.
