Set up a base of operations in the building and get mortarguy cranking out rounds on the enemy.

If video games have taught me anything, is look around for things that may explode. Look for cars, barrels, open fuel/gas lines. Wait for Necrons to come by then, OPEN FIRE.

Minimal amount of weapon expenditure, maximum amount of damage.

1:Run like hell
2:Find Varity
3:Hide

Tell the squad to ready their grenades as when the necrons get within 15 Meters start throwing grenades and firing the lasguns over the wall at the necrons

Does our squad have a vox?

>>5768826
A defensive position would be best. If they haven't pin pointed our exact location I suggest an ambush of some kind.

Note - I will wait for at least 4-5 posts (if I delude myself as to the popularity of this test run) before choosing an action, so bear with me. I try to follow my own rules to the letter apart from that.

>>5768826

You tell your frightened men to set up behind the wall while the mortar team gets to work. In their frightened state, the minute they set up they start firing.

Mortar rounds start to go off in the distance but your men report that the shells are falling far too wide of the advancing necrons. One of your men volunteers to act as spotter, a risky business.

Results of Actions,
-Advancing Necrons have now identifed wall as an enemy strongpoint, moving in to engage and destroy.
-Mortar set up but fire ineffectual
-Spotter allocated to mortar. Will not fire his lasgun but will make the mortar fire more accurate. You may remove him from his job.

What do you do?

>>5768872
Right, Krak grenades are the super explody ones, right? USe those if so. Have 6 Guardsman line up two deep. First rank kneels while the seond rank fires over their heads. Mortar guy ppunds their back ranks while Flamer helps keep them out of melee range.

>>5768963
Use Flamer guy for spotting

>>5768963
Maybe we should attempt to calm our men if possible. Their panic gave away our position and robbed us of the element of surprise.

How far are these necrons anyhow? Is it just a group of walking grunts or are there immortals and tombspiders?

Is there any terrain/rubble that we can use as a choke point? That would help save ammo, time, and personnel.

>>5768963
Whoa. here is an idea: Set up grenades as trip mines at key spots of our defensive wall. This will help alert us to where they are trying to breech

Spread your men out to use the cover more effectively and also to avoid the gauss weapons from hitting multiple guys. Use some grenades to set booby traps in-case you need to fall back.

>>5769059
>>5769036
Trap setting would take too long and expose valuable men to enemy fire. we already lost a lieutenant.

Note - Queries for Information (as far as it reasonable) will reset the 5 post wait limit as you reconsider your actions

>>5769029

You peer cautiously over the wall. It's impossible to tell but they seem to be as normal as any necron can be. Mind you, this is the first time the 46th have fought necrons.

>>5769030

No, the wall is slightly too small to allow for any effectie choke points either than the two corners and the small breaches in between. You count, including the corners, to have 5 possibly entry areas. You note that a squad of 4 would have a suitable fire arc as to cover all 5.

The mortar has set up as little way back in a small crater. All around you are ruined buildings, craters and vehicle wrecks.

>>5768908

Oops, didn't see you.

No, you are part of a support section that was the first wave. You and your squad were deemed to have such a low survival rate, they stripped the vox off you and placed it on another squad.

look for fall back positions in case you need to relocate.

>>5769185

There are several craters and ruins of chimera's behind the mortar position. It would be possible to relocate if the necron breach was too large but the retreat back would be risky.

IF our squad has a vox call in close fire arty on the grid mark of the advancing necrons. have steel rain use anti infantry shells if I cannot deduce any vehicle looking things advancing on our position.

BTW what was the ETA of our light armor?

>>5769203

You recall that the battleplans have the light armour advancing just a few KM behind you. Any minute now. You realise if you are killed, they will walk right into the necron counter attack. Judging by what you've seen so far of necron weaponry and what they do to heavy tanks, it will be a massacre!

Can we see a way to surround the Necrons? If so, toss smoke grenades at them. This will hopefully serve three purposes.

1. Decrease their aim, increasing our survivability.
2. We're IG, we aren't marksmen. But we CAN shoot a cloud.
3. It can serve as a marker to our mortar guy.
4. We can keep the necrons pinned down, making it more likely that we will survive IF we get any kind of reinforcement.

>>5769239
Why can't I count? Saged for idiocy.

Note - Quick gameplay change, first couple of information queries will be answered before actions will be taken. Otherwise, gameplay might slow indefinitely. In that spirit the next post with an action will be carried out.

>>5769239
Terrible idea, the necrons will walk through the cloud and all of our fire effect is lost. not only that but the light armor will be completely unprepared for the necrons behind a screen of smoke.

Get on the vox (if we have one) and warn those tanks, if not send a runner back. We'd be a lasgun down, but in all seriousness would it really help and a counter attack by a tank column would be a lot more effective.

>>5769275
I was aiming to pin down the Necrons and make them stay in a general area. The mortar guy might actually be able to land a shell on the continent we're on, and take out/ severely damage a Necron.

Secondary suggestion/question:
Is there any visibly more damaged Necron that we can hope to isolate? GOing after them one by one can make our job easier.

How many grenades of each type do we have? Can they be applied liberally, or do we need to ration them?

Is there anything lootable on the Leman Russ? I know we're not Orks, but maybe there's some semi-operational heavy weaponry amongst the wreckage. Or maybe we can rig it to explode.

>>5769239
Besides if they're close enough for grenades thats a bit too close for mortar.

Have the squad keep effective fire disciplin on the Necrons until they are within grenade range.
No point in going against SOP.

>>5769314

Your mortar continues to put down rounds down range. With the help of their spotter you can see the necron attack thinning out ever so slightly with ever round.

You choose one of the riflemen to act as runner. With a message and a pat on the back he sets off into the smoke and dust behind you.

Results.
-Necron attack weakened slightly.
-Advancing armour will now be aware of your position and and incomming help will be far more effective.
-You now only have 5 riflemen including yourself should the necrons reach your line.

>>5769339
No point in rationing grenades. if we conserve grenades we are reducing the possibility of killing necrons and if some do survive they will be in melee range anyhow where grenades would be useless.

Hand out extra mortar shell to the guardsmen to use as demo packs (prime them and throw them) against the necrons when they are in throwing range. Concentrate fire on one necron at a time with the lasguns. See if there are any necrons wearing old robes or holding staffs.

prepare a krak volley when they get within range. Spread the men out behind cover, and fire at will. Prepare to fall back immediately after throwing grenades.

>>5769363
Now might be a good time to pull out and find a new spot. Retreating might get us shot for Heresy/Cowardice later, so how about a lateral move? Move in the general direction we were ordered to go, but keep on firing to keep the necrons pinned down.

At this point we can only stand-to and hold until the reinforcements arrive. I suggest switching the mortarman and spotter when they arrive too close.

Traps are a possibility.

>>5769428
falling back and retreating are different

>>5769400
I like this plan. Using mortar rounds like grenades will help us increase causalities and hopefully slow the advance.

Still awaiting information on lootable vehicles OP. We need options!

As minutes pass, the necron advance ever closer and their fire grows more effective. But they are now in range for lethal lasgun return fire. They are now too close for the mortar to be effective.

You now have 8 men, only 6 with rifles and one with flamer. The last man is unarmed cept for his grenades.

Ranged Combat Order
>>5769400

Planned Drill
>>5769415

Melee Combat Order
-Unspecified

Results,
-Due to your quick leadership and confident plan, your men feel somewhat more composed. They are fighting as a unit again and bar any unexpected opponents, will act as a proper squad.
-Mortar has been made redundant and the mortar rounds have been handed out to the men.
-The necrons are here! Next post will be combat results!

>>5769437
Remember, this is 40K. Common sense invites demons to come out of your head.

>>5769430
>>5769444
How about we get another guy, and give him some of the mortars that we will use like grenades. He sets them up to be a trap. When the Necrons get too close, both of them pull out, using a fish hook pattern.

Krak and Mortar bomb volley is a-go! With Alternating lasgunner cover fire!

>>5769467

None unfortunately, all were destroyed in the first attack, their armour warped beyond belief and the crews cooked inside by the infernal heat. You notice now the burning leman russ in the distance still has its ammo compartment intact but it dosen't matter now.

>>5769363

Get our krak grenades ready. If the Necron begin getting too close, we can use them to create a little dust cover, and maybe take out a few of them.

If it comes to that, we need to begin falling back. Use what cover we can muster. Getting into close quarters with those is a very bad idea.

Load the lone grenadier with all the Krak Grenades when they get to melee, then tell him to go hug a Necron.

We only need to hold until the armor gets here. Are lives hold little value other than holding up this advance. Hotshot the lasguns and burn some holes between their eyes. Say some imperial prayers as well.

>>5768807
hmmm... id kill for a commisar right now... ok, full auto into necrons, lobbing grenades as they come. once there to close for grenades, then fix bayonets, and FOR THE EMPOPER!!

They have arrived.

>>5769516
>>5769511
have been taken into account, falling back rather than melee is now the plan.

ROLLING.

>>5769516
Suicide option is for the injured/last man standing. Holding off.

Is there an option to spread out, to minimize the chance that a lucky shot might cause the lasgun to explode and cause collateral damage.
Or should we stay close. A wall of flashlights might mean more lkeliness of hitting something harder, making our lives easier?

Send some one to rig the russ' ammo to blow and plan for a retreat to there if we are about to be overwhelmed.

strategic withdraw keeping up covering fire.

Lasgun fire rings out. Though accurate, they seem only to annoy the advancing enemies. Concentrated fire however has worked its own benefits. You roar as you and your team down three of the mechanical monstosities. You lose only one man from your position of cover.

Result of Ranged Combat Drill
-Three necrons out of action!
-One rifleman down!

Their advance does not slow. Despite being oil and gears, you feel a prick of fear as you seem them advance with bloody intentions in mind. Your men do not share your doubt. Krak Grenades and Mortar rounds at the ready, they let loose over the wall!

Results of Planned Drill
-5 Necrons out of action!

Unfortunately, the time it has taken your squad to throw both their krak grenades and mortar rounds accurately means that the necrons are now among you!

You fall back as planned.

Results of Combat Round
-Two necrons have survived and made it into close combat.
-One guardsman has died to return fire, another to the clash of lines. One is hacked down as you execute the fall back.

You and the remainder of your squad relocate behind a burning chimera wreck. Squad count comes to 6. 5 rifles and flamer.

You can hear the sound of revving engines in the distance.

Ahead, you can see only five necrons left!

What do you do?

>>5769659

Is there anything in the chimera worth taking? If not, we should fall back. This isn't an encounter we can withstand.

Keep firing for the Emperor. Flame them and continue to stay out of close combat, using cover and returning fire.

>>5768807
fix bayonets amirightguys?

>>5769683

You can hear the sound of roaring crackling fires within and the armour is searing to the touch. You think you can hear the popping of bolter rounds as they cook off inside...

How damaged is the Chimera? Can the mounted lasguns be used inside it?

Can it be rigged to explode on retreat?

How many more grenades of each type do we have? Mortar Rounds?

Is there any other wreckage nearby?

>>5769659

Fall back to the nearest form of cover, using concentrated lasfire on one necron at a time.

Obviously, Necron in Close combat is priority. He is our lobsterman, and he must be put down. I'm not particularly adept ap 40k, but for CC, shouldn't we use the flamer?

Also, are the remaining necrons within lasgun range, or do we at least have any method of attacking them.

>>5769709

We need alternative cover! What is nearby? And do we still have grenades left? If there is alternative cover, let the rest of the squad fall back to it first. Let's not kill everyone with a gamble.

This is a bad position, we need to fall back to something that doesn't burn us at a touch.

Fall back from the chimera before it blows and throw in some grenades to cook off the rest of its ammunition as the necrons get next to it. (maybe remember that you are a callidus assassin and can totally mess these guys up in close combat)

You have your own krak grenade left. During the fighting, you failed to let your last one fly. All the men have not used their smoke grenades left.

There is a cooling wreck of a chimera to your left. The inside of the hull is completely blackened but is at least clean of any fire.

Note - Queries will now not be answered, Action Time!

>>5769763

We move to the cooling chimera wreck as discreetly as we can. The necrons saw us falling back in the direction of the burning wreck so we can't give ourselves away. Place the krak grenade at the burning wreck, or toss it from cover.

Get ready to run some more.

Toss Krak grenade into burning chimera once Necrons get close.

Retreat squad to other Chimera, attempt to power on lasguns mounted in it and try and hold them off. Keep firing until they're on top of you, then burn with the flamer FOR THE EMPRAH.

No retreat from the second Chimera

Rig the krak grenade to blow the remaining ammo on the Chimera and fal back to other cover. Hopefully the explosion will disable the remaining Necrons if not destroy them.

>>5769763

Pop smoke! The moment you do, begin crawling, so the enemy will fire over our heads, providing they do not possess optics that can pierce the smoke. Make our way to the Chimera, and use it as cover. Going inside would be a bad idea, cause then we will just be fish in a barrel for them. We need to remain moving until support arrives.

We can hear the cavalry coming, we shouldn't retreat further.

>>5769735
>>5769751

The gauss fire from the advancing necrons keeps you company as you prime your krak grenade. Your men fall back to the cooling chimera wreck. You lose one on their run to cover.

You chuck the krak grenade into the burning chimera.

You sprint away from the wreck as gauss shots pepper you.

You leap into the wreck just as the other chimera blows up.

Results
-You have taken 3 necrons with the destroyed chimera
-You have lost one man to the advancing necrons.
-You left your lasgun behind in the race to escape

There are two necrons left against your 5. You still have your smoke grenades but you are unarmed. 3 lasguns, 1 flamer. You could take them head on but you will likely lose everyone.

What do you do?

>>-You left your lasgun behind in the race to escape

Great, the commissar will execute me no matter what i do now

>>5769839
unholster your shotgun or laspistol.

DH guardsmen get a lasgun, shotgun, and laspistol

Any loot inside the Chimera we're hiding in?

How many frag grenades do we have left?

>>5769839

how many of the bloody necrons *are* there!?

well if they're nearby and hopefully distracted by the blast, we should use our smoke grenades and cover our own retreats. but look around the chimera wreck for anything i could use as a weapon first.

>>5769839

Pop smoke. One at your feet, another about twenty feet ahead, and the last 40 feet ahead if one of your throwing arms is strong enough. Use the smoke to hide you. Crawl if you need to. Avoid that guass fire as much as you can.

Shoot it out, we can still make it.

Aim for legs. Reducing their mobility improves our survivability.

Also, are flamers good against Necron? I'm not that knowledgeable about 40k. If so, use smoke grenades to create cover for flamer guy. Have flamer guy go around necrons, keeping them distracted with our lasguns.

Burninate.

Also, how do I keep posting right after the OP? I've deleted 3 posts so far.

>>5769914
>>5769928

Unfortunately nothing. The purging flames have made everything a blackened husk. You take a moment to look at the weapon the god emperor gave you at birth. After a moment you look away from your fists in disgust. Your men look at your apphresively.

>>5769918

None. All your men are still good to fight and all have smoke grenades.

>>5769928

Two left in the sector! You are almost there!

Actions will be accepted now.

>>5769940

Don't worry, I try to take into account ACTION posts made two above mine in order to make sure people get their say.

Have the men throw their smoke grenades without pins pulled to the side of the necron formation and hope to huddle them together, throw our one krak grenade at their center line with a smoke (just to act as a marker for incoming armor). I don't know that's the best I can think of if they're going to charge us next turn.

Toss a smoke grenade. Have the flamer stand parallel to it. Once the necrons enter into the smoke, unleash the flamer into the smoke.

>>5769940
>>5769995
Taken into account for their similarity of purpose.

This is it!

ROLLING

>>5769995
Could that cause something similar to a dust explosion? Pretty much instant critical damage against anything within the smoke.

But still, at this point, I would recommend "OPEN FIRE." We should try to end this fast.

>>5769989
I keep posting immediately after you post.

Spread out using the smoke as cover, and have the laseguns take headshots once they get a clear shot.

>>5770035
That was my plan. I hope the OP took it into consideration.

No bayonet either? Something to plunge into xenos tainted steel if it comes to it?

May I quote the great Daskal from The Beast:
Out of commission, become a pillbox. Out of ammo, become a bunker. ***Out of time, become heroes.***

You stand up from your position of cover to let loose your last smoke grenade. It falls directly on the two last necrons who refuse to halt the advance. They fire out from the smoke with abandon.

The flamer roars a benediction to the emperor before rushing them. He then lets loose a streaming jet of promethium. The closest necron is reduced into bubbling slag. The second one is grazed and lets loose an unaimed shot, catching the flamer in the shoudler. He spins to the ground.

Together, the rest of you unleash your lasgun shots at the last necron. After what seems like an eternity it finally falls to its knees to your concentrated lasgun fire before its head is sheared clean off by a heavy stubber.

You look behind you and offer a silent thanks to the emperor for Leman Russ tanks.

CONGRATULATIONS, YOU DEFEATED THE NECRON COUNTER ATTACK AND THE CAVALRY IS HERE.

ADVANCEMENT POST AND NEXT COMBAT OP INCOMING.

>>5770067
Suiciding now is like giving up the race when the finish line is in sight. We're IG, we were MEANT to die, but give us our chance to live just a few seconds more, eh?

Before we do anything, we must gather our fallen and ensure their bodies are purified before being sent to join the Emperor. And get a chirugeon to attend to our struck comrade.

>>5770082

Penal Legion :P

Nah. What exactly qualifies as "Light Armor" in the 40k world now that I think about it.

There's only one major and prolific tank (The Russ) and the only "lighter" thing is a Chimera but thats technically an APC or IFV. I'll take 'em. Just as long as the squad gets reinforced.

>>5770082
Victory is OURS!!!!

>>5770096
Right after the OP posts. I knew it.

facepalm.jpg

What are our reinforcements?

>>5770115
Just a bit late, FAGGOT

The leman russes continue onward without even the slightest acknoledgement. You wave them to them but stop after realising how stupid you look. Your men don't notice, they are huddled around their fallen comrade.

A chimera roars up. A fresh squad of men step out along with the runner you sent out. The chimera commander pops out from his cupola as the armoured fist squad takes up defensive positions.

'Well done old chap, I must say, very well done.'

You answer him with silence and a quizzical look. Where do these armoured boys get their accent?

'Well, don't look shell shocked old boy, we have orders to help first wave out in any way we can. What are you orders?'

Results
-You have recieved reinforcements!

There is now a platoon strength counter! For the remainder of this combat operation there are all UNDER YOUR COMMAND. Take care of them!

You have 1 Named Character advance! Naming a soldier gives him far better fighting capabilities (due to his extraordinary personality) It can also be used to give soldiers that extra boost they need to make it through their injuries (hint hint)

Platoon Strength!
-15 men, 10 lasguns, one mortar, one flamer, one corporal with laspistol and chainsword.
-One chimera, autocannon and pintle mounted heavy bolter. Has rough terrain modifications and a bulldozer.
-One injured flamer. He may or may not make it pending your Named Character Advancement.

The vox on the chimera has given you fresh orders.
You are to continue the advance and capture the hill above.

CONTINUE PLAYING?
Y/N?

>>5769904
Get a lasgun before the commissar shows up. Polish off a necron guassrifle for trophy time

>>5770082

>>5770189

excuse me, I meant to say they are all UNDER YOUR COMMAND.

Also, please forgive me if I keep missing out your ACTION or INFORMATION posts and for the typo's.

Mount up and move out

The name is Whiskey Joe

I charge my squad across the battlefield for no enemy can look into the eyes of a disciplined Imperial Guardsman without quaking in mortal fear. The enemies on the Emperor will be crushed under our boots.

THE INJURED FLAMER IS WHISKEY JOE

HE SERVED VALIANTLY

Name the wounded flamer Brock Samson.

Is the chimera outfitted with Cyclops remote detonation vehicles? (Remote controlled bombs.)

Is Cpl part of the 15 men? Are we part of them? Can we drive the Chimera?

Everyone goes in the chimera. Chimera rides behind the column. At combat, deploy all Guardsmen with lasguns that aren't manning one of the mounted lasguns in the chimera.

Recover the mortar from the last strongpoint, along with all the dropped lasguns and any other equipment.

Did the Necrons phase out? If not, get Gauss Weaponry FOR DAH EMPRAH!

Burn our honored dead.

FORGET WHISKEY BOB, HIS NAME IS BROCK SAMSON!

BROCK SAMSON!

BROCK SAMSON!

BROCK SAMSON!

I assume that means you guys want to keep playing.
Oh, you have to choose exactly who you want to get the named advancement.

You can choose anyone in your company (including the chimera commander!) and you guys get to name him. Name is chosen exactly like ACTION posts are.


***

A member of the armoured fist squad brings a map to you.

You see that the advance to the hill may be littered with the wrecks of first wave armour and craters from the last artillery bombardment.

Not everyone can fit in the chimera but people can ride on it. However, you doubt that the necrons are going to let you ride up there in one piece!

ORDERS REQUIRED -

ADVANCE DRILL

ENGAGEMENT DRILL

We all know from Abnett novels that naming random guys gets them killed within the next paragraph or page.

But regardless a late congrats and a vote of Y to continue.

>>5770231

I second this! Whiskey Joe must continue to serve proudly and pyromanicly!

Named Character Advancement Used!

***

As you ponder your next move, you can't help but notice that the injured flamer under your command is now up and walking. The men pat him on the back and share a hearty laugh with him and he laughs back despite the still open wound in his shoulder.

He and the remaineder of your squad walk up to you and await your orders.

BROCK SAMSON is the new character! He has the TOUGH SHIT (his survivability rivals yours) and BURN IT ALL (an excellent user of the flamer!) traits! Take care of him!

>>5770305

YEEEEEEEEEEEES!

Have the Chimera move slowly, demolishing a swath with its dozer while those Guardsmen who don't fit inside follow closely behind.

I'm 577025, so those questions need answering!

I disagree!

>>5770255

Those 16 men (BROCK SAMSON is back in action!) are all part of YOUR OUTFIT.

Only 10 men can fit inside the chimera. The other 6 can ride on top.

The mortar was automatically recovered.

The necron bodies lie twitching and rolling in the dirt as the attempt to come back. The armoured fist squad have taken responsibility for taken down those that have Come Back. (Note, in the future, mistakes like these will cost you!)

You hear explosions in the distance. You cannot tell if those are the sounds of xenos being purged or your own blessed tanks being sent to the emperor's grace.

Still awaiting,

ADVANCE DRILL

ENGAGEMENT DRILL

Combat Doctrine: Start the fight by first popping smoke on the enemy, thus fouling their aim. Then, throw kraks and frags into the smoke. We might be be able to see them, but an explosion doesn't need eyes to work. After that, concentrate fire via ten man units on single targets. This will take them down quicker. Use anything and everything as cover, even if you have to lie prone in a crater. We can NOT be standing out in the open. Too many lives are lost that way.

There now I have a name to reference from, yes I made The Beast reference.

Anyways. I say advance in support of the Russ's. Though I have a bad feeling they will only be making cover for us after they are destroyed.

Go for broke!

Set up the Mortar here, it should be able to reach the hill from this position. We can use smoke rounds to cover our advance. (Detail a spotter again?)

Actions on the hill will have to be determined then when we see what forces are arrayed against us. But we should be prepared for anything.

>>5770370
Agreed with the concentrated fire.

AUTOMATIC PLATOON ORGANISATION HAS OCCURED.

Command Squad (Squad 1)
You, BROCK SAMSON, 5 Riflemen

Chimera + Squad 2 + Mortar Squad
Corporal (leader)
4 Riflemen
1 Flamer
1 Mortar (2 men)

You realise you have not rearmed yourself.

The men mobilise, they await your command to go!

NOTE - This is the last chance to change advance or engagement drills, the road to the hill will be one combat post! Also, don't forget to requip yourself. (no gauss weapons! heresy not allowed! yet.)

>>5770255

Mentions recovering weapons and equipment. XD

>>5770502

There is a choice of fresh equipment from the chimera insides.

There is a laspistol, several lasguns, a shotgun and a grenade launcher. You realise you can order the corporal to hand over his chainsword.

You are not trained in grenade launcher use! One of your men, might recieve training if you keep them (and the chimera!) alive.

>>5770525
Grab the shotty, hand the GL to whoever thinks they can use it.

>>5770525
Equipping the shotgun.

You are now armed with a SHOTGUN.

You hand the grenade launcher over to the flamer man in the other squad. He looks apprehensive but recieves it with a hearty 'yes sir!'

Your men prepare to move out!

ROLLING

Grab the shotgun and the laspistol for yourself. (Close in weapons but we're going to be busy directing units rather than shooting, so if we have to shoot they'll be close anyways, might as well have a punch)

Stow the grenade launcher in the Chimera.

I keep behind the laseriflemen. I'm no use up front. Keeping an eye out for ambushes.

The command squad rides in the chimera as the bumpy road takes its tolls on the tracks, pitching you and your squad up and down like toys. The mortar men look happy inside the armoured shell.

The armoured fist squad walks alongside, following the bounching chimera as it pushes broken hulls aside and crushes necron bodies under tread.

Ambush!

The Chimera starts to take hits from necron warriors left over from the counter attack!

The speed of the attack has taken the men in the chimera off guard!

The 6 men outside rush to engage the enemy as the chimera pops smoke and moves back, autocannon whirring out round after round!

The sound of kraks cover the retreat of the chimera as you and your men begin to pile out. As you do, a man from squad 2 is narrowly missed by a bright green lance, saved by the smoke rounds!

The Chimera Commander reports strange necrons in the distance that seem to hover off the ground on extended metal bodies.

Your Squad 1 has disembarked and Squad 2 is engaging! Chimera is in a holding position, pouring fire onto ambushing necrons!

The smoke has saved you from any casualties but it won't last long!

Results!
-Ambush!
-Necron Warriors down 5!
-Necron Destroyers spotted in distance!

Any tank in an infantry battle against baddies that have tough AT weapons is a sitting duck. Get the Chimera to reverse and find a more favorable position, possibly to ambush the destroyers.

Our men can disperse into the ruins/rubble/blown up vehicles and handle the infantry.

A missile launcher would be nice about now :D

BROCK SAMSON and Squad 1 engage the necron warrior squad engaging your platoon!

Together with Squad 2, their concentrated fire takes down the other 5 necrons with ease. BROCK takes obvious joy in smelting the already downed bodies into liquid metal, preventing them from coming back.

(BROCK has gained the NOT ON MY WATCH (as long as he is alive he will save you from one MISTAKE per ACTION))

You realise the Destroyers are too far for you to take on at range. The chimera continues to pour at round after round into the smoke it has dropped but the commander has reported none of the floating necrons have been downed yet!

FRESH ORDERS REQUIRED.

Results,
-Ambushing necron warrior squad down!
-Destroyers are getting closer to harming the chimera...

If I'm in range I start lobbing some grenades into groups of Necrons.

Actually, its time for a break, I've been on the comp for god knows how long.

PAUSE ACTION.

Thanks for playing /tg/! This was a test run but based on its positive response I might be back.

Any more smoke left to pop? Order the Chim to fall back a short distance while covering us with smoke. We can take the destroyers as they come closer to us.
