"Callsign Krieg reporting, ready to blow something up. What's the word, Bravo? Are we deploying on foot for this one?"

Uhm, OC, I request a refreshment on the dice rolling procedure, seeing as I was excused from rolling training due to gnats.

>>12716374

I believe you put dice+1d10 in the email field.

>>12716323

Does that mean I'm dead because I already died twice?

"HEY, COMMAND.

"Well hell, glad I've got some distance on them."

>>Taking the roof corner on the west side of F.

>>12716883
Well nearish I think we can afford having Knights and the tank on the ground. I would advise that scouts go on L3 of course. Maybe some rifleman and a M. Then on L2 some A, M, and R. With the rest of the Rs and Ms deploying on the ground with the E and K...Oh and the tanks

>>12716856
Right, Sir! Is there any other briefing material other than the image up top? I notice the classes have 'r's or something next to ammo, and perhaps what the effects of ranks are on stats. I'll probably have to peruse it during the mission, though. Deploying with you or wherever you put me, sir"

>>12716833
"We should probably stick a Bitank in the main fortress so it can blow the fuck out of the big center bug. Anyway, Command! Deploying in the building in Sector E! I can give cover to any snipers we put on the roof from there."

>>12716684
God I love you /tg/

>>12716833
Figure we should have the [S]harpshooters and bomber [M]en on the hostpital (l3 building). Snipers can do their thing and the demomen can lay mines or lob bombs at liesure. Maybe stick some riflemen up there to provide security from flying/climbing bugs plus general suppression.

>>12716891
(Is it any easier to hit? I use /tg/-dice brand dice, so I need all the bonuses I can get.)

Requesting to drop into the SW corner of sector E, to guard the access to our high ground.

(And...does the explosion affect the fat one? As in, if I can cover it with four squares of explosion...does it count as hitting it four times?)

"Guess it's assigned to me then. Could I get some instructions on how to operate this droid?"

"I'm not gonna lie to you gents, this doesn't look good. We're outnumbered, possibly outgunned, and quite frankly they might be smarter than us. Looking at all those chittering, gnashing bodies you've gotta ask yourself, is this the end? Have we bit off more than we can chew?"

"Not a fucking chance! This is Bravo Company, and we kill bugs. We've been doing nothing but smash these roaches since we landed on this rock, and we're pretty fucking fantastic at it! Check your mags, safeties off, and let's rock and roll!"

>>12717346
"Good to see you Commander, sir."

>>12717381
"Excuse me, sir?"

>>12717357
88 points? Damn, you boys have been busy. Command, motion to deliver ten droid packs immediately; they'll need the firepower. And the buffer to stop them from getting immediately chomped. Attach them to all the knights who don't have any, then prioritize demomen, snipers, and anti-armor units. Not sure who's got some already, but any extras can go to the rifles.

Let's also order in an airstrike on the biggest nasty currently visible.

How much are those Predators? They working airstrikes, or coming onfield as units?

>>12717357

Someone order predator air units please. Half of the xenos army is flying.

>>12717398

Noted, Krieg, although hell, if you want to continue acting as FC, that's fine by me. Stay in the tank though. Walker loves his cavalry.

Don't think I need to give too much direction in this case. But here's some strategy:

Orange indicates bombing run vectors.

Blue indicates deployment of two Armslaves.

Tanks, fire on the big bastard in the center.

Knights, HOLD THE LINE.

Everyone else: SHOOT.

(Which droid is the maid droid, I wish to keep track of its kills if it doesn't die early on)

>>12717567
Commander, recommending again that we cut loose with the droids. Orbital has given us more than enough requisition authority to give every single clone on the ground droid backup, and I see no reason not to use it. That kind of additional firepower could mean the difference between victory and defeat here... or at least keep a few more of them alive.

>>12717526

>Movement seemed too vague, so specifically the two droids move 1 East, and I move 1 East 1 SE

>Move up next to Douk, Shields up, maximum defence.

We can order gunships, wouldn't constant air superiority be better?

"Transferring control of Tripe to [P1]. Have fun, go rip apart those wasps."

>>12720181
"Just saw the updated HUD now. Command, what's the possibility of loading incendiary rounds onto the next air strikes?

>>12720229
"COMMANDER! If you're givin the orders, get that 'exceptionally deadly' maid droid to kill some of these bastards!

Also, get those guys to stop stabbin Roach 6s carcass, we got live ones to kill!"

rolled 10, 9, 9, 7 = 35

>Move 2 squares south, grab K3 out of combat. Proceed to heal the shit out of him with the droid.

"Don't worry, you'll be fine. Hahaha. Yes. Fine. Say, droid? Would you mind, ah, lending me a hand with his spleen?"

"Hey Zek, you were the last to have R00 assigned to right? If you aren't going to use it then I wouldn't mind having control made over to me instead!"

>>12720276
>>12720309
>>12720331

??? Err... right. You guys need to work out who will control [P1] and [M2].

>>12720314
(Clearly I am blind. Let's just chalk that up to Atlas being too pissed to think clearly.)

>>12720341
"See, thats what I'D like to know. The damn thing called him master and didnt seem to shoot at any of the bugs I told it to, so I think its under his control. I'm waiting for him to clarify the situation."

>>12720331
>Can you give control to someone else? I'm not one for controlling multiple units. This droid is enough for me.

>>12720331
Thanks Walker.

> Action: Move East 1 square. Firing Gatling gun at Roach 7, 6 and Wasp 5

>>12720342
>I'm P1, I'm controlling the droid M2, what do you mean?

>>12720334

"Fucker took down one of our tank. I'm mad."

Assuming Control of P1.

> Last action still stands, forgot to change unit tag.

Northern Air Swarm wiped out

>>12720385
>What? I'm P1, what are you doing? He told me to take control of you, I don't want to.

>>12720384
"Stabbin the one thats already dead is just gonna make it easier for the live ones to get you, dont wanna end up like that driver do ya?"

>>12720369

Taylor would you like me to take control of P1 or something else?

>>12720401
>>12720401

> Uh...I read that wrong, but I'm not there to take control of anything. I'm dead.

>>12720406
>I want you to control yourself and only yourself. I am controlling me (P1) and my droid (M2)

"Requesting 2 air strikes, marked in orange. Second strike marked with "I" is for incendiary if available; otherwise, it is to be a DELAYED strike, following AFTER the first strike is done."

"Marked in blue are requested entry points for [S3] and Red Squad. Point marked 1 is preferred; 2 is if it is not possible to drop at point 1."

"Yellow are movement vectors. Form a line people; get ready to go on the offensive."

Okay, need to split

Either someone make orders for M2 or assume he is an auto turret that needs to be reloaded with ammo

>>12720431
>I MADE ORDERS FOR M2!

"Tripes, what do you want to redeploy as? Redeploy as an infantry unit, a BiTank, or a Predator?"

>>12720402

"Ah hell, everything else in that droid's range was dead anyways. From there at least he can help the southern flank."

K3 Kills 3

>>12720493
Predator would be good. It seems like an upgrade to me.

>>12720510
>Change your callsign mate

>>12720493
"Still waiting on whose bossin around "00" SIR!"

>>12720521
Ah right, sorry.

>>12720528
>>12720493

>I'll just do it. Because I don't get to make rolls. Odd that the cowboy hat wearing-CO controls a maid robot, of all things.

>[00], burst fire on wasp 10.

>>12720566
>>12720148

"Sir, recommend you select a different target for 00, fairly sure one of my droids hit that one already."

>Open Comms Link
"[00], your combat assets are so fine_ _ _"
>Terminate Comms Link

>>12720566

"Right. Requesting deployment of third Predator, [PA] Tripes, as location marked in green."

>Purchase 1 Predator.
>Hopefully deployment doesn't squish someone.

>>12720626
"uh SIR, that is my CURRENT location!"

>ohfuckohfuckohfuck

rolled 1, 6, 4 = 11

>>12720598

>Better rolls are lower ones, I believe. So 10 and 8 are bad. But what the hell, why not.

>[00], burst fire on bugs 5, 7, and 8 if 10 is already dead.

"Predators fly in right? Atleast I don't think I saw the others get deployed by drop pod..."

>>12720664
>>12720626

>God. Bloody. Damn it. Trying to remember where all of you go is nearly impossible. How the hell do you do it, OP?

"Sorry about that, Command, updating coordinates for [P3] deployment. Again, marked in green."

>>12720696
"He he, right.....Just hope this one doesn't fly too low...."

>>12720715
"So I made this bet with some guy named William something. Can you put an apple on your head?"

>>12720724
"Apple? Why would I have an apple? and I dont like the sounds of that bet...

First everyone ignores me, now everyone is out for me. Did getting a kill change everything..."

"These xenoforms, despite their arachnid appearance, are actually have more in common with the pigs of earth!"

I have my hands full just killing the things...
I'll stick to my rations."
