EACH TEAM OF SIX WILL HAVE THEIR OWN TA AND COMMAND STRUCTURE JUST LIKE REAL LIFE.

"I would like to take part in this exercise, Sir. I will be a Squad Leader if need be."

"Alright Bravo, who's up for a game of capture the flag?!?"

"And when I say flag, I MEAN R00'S PANTIES."

"THAT'S RIGHT, R00'S PANTIES. YOU WIN, YOUR TEAM CAN KEEP THEM."

"I'm back, in black."

"R00's pan'ies on the line? Lord I can't miss this. Would prefer to be on Black team, but if no one goes Red I'll get shoved over."

The Objective of this map is simple capture the flag. With the same functional rules most infantry engagemens with orbital support; each squad must any and all resources available to them to retrieve the flag, and then promptly escape the field with it.

Take note. This is no simulation. This is a live-fire , live-kill excercise.

As such, each kill will count against your clone counter. However you have been given surplus bodies for this mission. A default of 2 extra.

Upon loss of those 2 clones, you will be out of this excerise, unable to redepoy.

Should you win, you will gain an extra clone.

Each kill will be counted as if it was a real mission.
Field reccomendations for both sides will also be treated with as much legitimacy.

Despite familiarity with your enemy, they are your enemy nonetheless. May the best warriors win.

Just to reiterate, you CAN respawn, at the cost of 2 points. So Red team, if you REALLY want to bring back Nomad, you can, but it will cost you 2 points.

I do believe you can specify Nomad's class when he drops back in.

"This is all part of the 'simulation' part of the game, boys. Because honestly, your enemy won't be playing by the rules; why should you? So go ahead, be creative, come up with insane plots and plans. Execute them, and see how badly which side ends up fucked up."

You need only escape the field in the southerly direction if you are Red,

The northerly direction if you are Black.

You have enough points remaining for a redeploy.
Like any orbital redeploy.

More added clarifications for Flag Holding:
>Melee attack only. For knights this makes no difference.
>Bots Cant hold flags. It is invisible to them.

>Flags can be thrown/passed if carried,
push pulled if on the ground.

>Dropping is a free action.

>Okay, new plan. Here's the best I've been able to come up with. Suggestions?
>With luck, we'll take out the riflemen and the remaining knight drone will tank any sniping at the flag carrier
>But if that fails, we've got a spare to grab the flag from my body

> Suggestion.

>>12912273
>Not really inclined to go with long range rockets when the medic can toss them around like toys, and that's a suicide charge for the eastern knight drone.

>>12912773

Black drops a bitank. watch out.

>>12912773
> Is that Black's Bittank?

>"[TA] I FUCKING LOVE YOU! USE THEM TANKS DAMMIT!"

>>12912741
Yeah, this'll be a bitch.

>>12912773
Requesting bitank stats, please.

>>12912791

"Confirmed, Weird. That is indeed Black Team's BiTank."

>>12912800
"-if redeploy or call Droids now, will they move in this turn?"

>>12912798

You need two points. Which will grant you 5 points total.

However, with 3 points you can redeploy a dead member anywhere on the map, you can also drone a member on your team.

If you are a believer of polyism, you can even redeploy your other clone.

>>12912838

"Negative Weird, units that are deployed must wait one turn before taking any actions."

>Yup.

>>12912838

Redeployed clones wont act in the same turn.
Just like how Black's Bitank hasn't acted in the same turn.

>>12912857

Droids on the other hand are readily available to act with the unit its attached to.

>>12912847

>I am sure he meant the page with the bitank stats.

>>12912847
I requested their stats, not to deploy one. I need to know how much firepower that thing can put out!

But never mind, if it's the same bitank from here I found it. Contemplating what to do now.

Sonuvabitch, shit got messy real fast.

>>Suggest moving the drones so they're covering flag bearer on both sides like so.

>>12912867
>Droids on the other hand are readily available to act with the unit its attached to.
Wait, are you saying that if I deployed droids right now, they could act this turn?

>>12912891

>That is exactly what he is not saying

"-calling in Knight Drones on purple areas. Suggesting Irons to follow the path proscribed."
"-bittank Schematics please?"

>>12912901
If that's so...

Team, what do you think?

>>12912876
"-all weapon can damage Armor the same as to soldiers?"

>Reminder: Red Team needs to get the flag to the SOUTH end to win; conversely, Black Team needs to get the flag to the NORTH side to win.

>>12912903
Only two drones per drop, weird. The 3 is the point cost.

>>12912941
Considering that the unit is called "anti-armor", I'd be quite miffed if they can't damage tanks effectively.

>>12912901

No, they can. Other units, such as BiTanks, redeployed soldiers, cannot.

>>>12912891

Droids just attach themselves to a parent unit. As a first move and essentially mimic their actions.

Independent action comes after turn aided with instruction.

>>12912916
"-if deployed Droids move at the same turn, instead of next turn as redeployed Clones, suggesting taking Knight Droids instead. They can attack twice a turn and has 2 damage."

>>12912941

"I doubt it. That data sheet was from the prior engagement with the 41st Automated. Anti-Armor rounds will still probably screw with it pretty bad."

>>12912967
So, >>12912916 is impossible?

>>12912969
"-just confirmed with OC. Droids have to be same class as their handlers. Summon the Antiarmor Droids and let them rip."
"-cannot call 3 Droids? Oh. Only 2. Yes, sir."
"-correction, 2 Antiarmor Droids."

>>12912991

It is possible they are being controlled by Nomad supposedly. It's been one turn. These rules only truly concern drones when being deployed on the first turn to prevent LOL ARMY HERE.

>>12912991
"-deploy said Antiarmor Droids, and then send in the Knight Droids to finish the job."
"-homefree. Hopefully."

>>12913011
All right, well, if it would be possible to pull that off... Give me two anti-armor droids as pictured, please, command.

>>12913011
if the parent clone is present they [the clone] should be able to command the drones to do a simple task. Otherwise they [the drones] shadow you.

Dont summon drones to do standalone missions is essentially what im getting at. They spawn as mooks.

But can emerge as heroes. [Only if their parent clone is dead]

But they spawn as MOOKS.

Very important

>>12913039


done.

>>12913044
All I want to do is spawn the drones and then have them shoot the tank while I run away. And if they miss and it's still alive, then have them stand in its way so that it can't get into position to kill me without running them over.

> This?

rolled 6, 9 = 15

>>12913052
Both drones should immediately fire on the bitank. Rolling attacks.

>>12913061

>>Move Knight Drones as per >>12913060 to attack after AA Drones fire.

>>12913089

"Could always hit yourself in the head with the butt of your rifle. Or jump heroically in front of incoming fire."

>>12913096

>>Not attack this turn obviously, but be in the BTs way and ready to attack next turn.

>>12913096
They've got 3 move and 2 act. If they spend 1 act to run and don't use their shields, they can move up to 6 squares and still attack once, yes?

>Move the western anti-armor drone 2 WEST, 1 SOUTHWEST
>Move the eastern anti-armor drone 2 WEST, 1 SOUTHWEST

>>12913105
"-currently in ether, voyeur, like yourself."

>>12913122

Run is a Run. You forfeit all actions this way.

Will reconsider this rule after the game.

>>12913144
>What the hell? You can always both move and shoot unless your character sheet says "OR", like snipers.

>>12913146

>>12913437
I recommend "knight" and "right next to me", by the way. Let's wrap this up.

Black to Move

>>12913470

>ilu black team ; u;

rolled 8, 9, 2, 4 = 23

Hawkes takes a deep breath, shouldering his rifle and looking through the sights. "Remember your training. Deep breath, hold, squeeze the trigger. Constantly adjust for recoil." He takes a deep breath and pulls the trigger-

>[Autofire] on Irons. Need double 1's to get the kill.

>>12913476
. . .

that would break the flag.

>>12913466
"-or beside the Knight Droid?"

>>12913485
>Good Game.

>>12913485
>>12913492

>my sniper bots will follow as fast as possible

>>12913503
>Nah, he said I'd need double 1's to shoot through the mass of drone bodies between me and him.

>>12913485

The entire command bridge was silent, save for the whir and beeps from the equipment and the holo screen, as all eyes were cast on Hawkes as he fired a burst on Irons. Would he succeed? Would Irons fall, and Black Team win, or would Red stand triumphant?

The air felt still as every crewman held their breath. The moment of truth. All eyes on the screen. Walker, McMillan, even Inquisitor Fierstrom, were watching the holo projector intently. Time seemed to slow as Hawkes fired... two went wide, and two found their mark, but...

That was it. Game. The entire bridge was in an uproar. McMillan was yelling at someone. Apparently he lost a bet. Fierstrom was in awe. Walker simply smiled.

"I can't believe how close that was" the Inquisitor said. "Walker, did you see that?"

"Heh, of course I saw. Why are you so surprised? Wasn't it you yelling at Evergrad about the virtues of humans?"

"Yes, but-"

"Oh yes. I've got one more surprise."

" OH FUCK OH FUK OH FUCCCCCCCCCC"

" YEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS"

From the distance an automaton appears wielding a dead droid's sword. She didn't bother detaching the sword from the hand so she just took that too.

". . . . . .my laundry. " R00 starts.

" return it "

>>12913561
". . ."
"IRONS! THROW THE FLAG HERE! THEN DIE TACKLING R00 WITH OUR FULL BLESSINGS! "

>>12913573
>Tosses flag to R00

"Nah, I was only in this for the extra clone anyway. Sorry, pal."

>>12913561
"... AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Good job anyhow Gents, ya did good."

>>12913561

>The com channel is filled with Ghost's cackling laughter.

>>12913561

Wait... that lacing .... isn't that...

>>12913573

"DO IT SOLDIER! COP A FEEL IF YOU CAN! DO IT!"

>Hahah! Good game gentlemen. I do believe this 'skirmish' has given me an odd need to pick up smoking...

"This was good. Very close."

>>12913590
"...is that an ORDER, boss? Because I don't make a habit of bull rushing anyone carrying a sword, no matter how buxom their silocone bosom."

>>12913589

Walker leans in close to Inquisitor Fierstrom, and whispers into her ear.

"Yeah, recognize them? They're yours. I just had R00 wear them while she took care of the laundry."

Watching the Inquisitor's mouth drop in pure shock, Walker leaned back into the command chair, a massive grin plastered on his face. "I told you, didn't I? That I had one more surprise in store. Just never said for who."

>>12913581
"-tsk."

> Counts clones: 1 dead, 1 in navy, 1 bonus when getting navy rank, 2 bonus from this mission. No kills on this mission, though. Darn.

>>12913600
"-we have a medic there." Points at Avian.
"-if she doesn't just bisect you with one swing."

> Can we hear those chatter from the comm-room?

>Ghost

>Hawke

>Avian
1 Kill!?!?!?!?
>Ghoul

>Wierd

>Mango

>Irons

Everyone wins one clone. Because holy shit I cannot decide who should've won this one.

>>12913639
"Bitchin!"

"Aww yeah, brings my total up to three kills."

>Spare clone eh? Does that mean I got 2 +plus whatever I use on the field? Or am I forgetting to subtract 1 from the 41st last time?

>>12913639
Awesome, command.


Irons' record
Successful battles: 3
Things Shot In Predator (including attached drones):
-Probably at least a couple bug things, but no one noticed because the queen died
-Quad tank
-3 AA emplacements
-Artillery unit
-Half a Super-Colossus
-A whole Super-Colossus
-A lot of guns on a battle fortress
-Treads on a battle fortress
-Several missiles in flight
Kills on foot:
-Bitank
Clones available:
-2 base
-+1 skirmish match
Rank:
-Hell if I know, apparently squad leader

Feeling pretty good about this, overall.


>>12913616
Don't sweat the lack of kills, man. You were an asset to Red Team.

>>12913628

Walker's voice was just loud enough for the mic to pic up his voice. Additionally, he had - intentionally or not - left the channel open to the soldiers who had been in the simulation.

"I understand that you think that I may be too 'soft' on my men, Inquisitor. Now, consider this: under your suggestion, I managed to convince my men to engage in a live-fire simulation against each other, over a pair of used panties worn by a droid. But not just any pair of panties; YOUR panties. Tell me; who's mean now?"

The comm channel was then filled with Walker's cackling, which, moments later, was overcome by a screech and static.

>>12913661

Oh yeah, Irons, as obviously mentioned, you're up for a promotion. I think a double rank, maybe. So you're in for a sergeant rank (how many kills was that last engagement? 8? Fuck man).

Also, Hawkes, I do recall that you ranked up - so you should actually be a corporal.

> However you have been given surplus bodies for this mission. A default of 2 extra.
Does these surplus remain with us? Or is it only for this mission?

>Nope , one clone only.

"Can't have you thnking you're immortal now can we ? "

>>12913675

The 2 extra is exclusive to this mission only.

>>12913683
> So my death here does not count against my actual clone count, just against that virtual clone count?

>>12913683
>By the way flames seem to constantly consume me. I have no doubt I'M not immortal...

"So I've never died, that brings me up to three back up clones? Or is it four? Not including my current self, of course."

>>12913683
"If we thought we were immortal, command, we wouldn't be chasing additional clones."

>>12913662
>turns off commlink, turns to others
"I feel somehow betrayed by the fact that the colonel thinks I'd shoot my friends just for panties."

>>12913671
The predator is a ridiculously fun chassis. Particularly when suicidally diving into the teeth of enemy fire, certain of one's own imminent demise.

>>12913689

Yup it doesnt count against you. BUT YOU JUST WON an extra clone so hooray.

>>12913697

"Three meatsuits, Ghost. So... how'dya like them panties?"

>>12913697
> 1 soldier, two inactive clones. Have you died in real battle yet? Then add this bonus clone from the skirmish.

>>12913671
"Works for me."

>Updated sheet.

> Or was it 1 clone soldier, 1 dormant clone, and the real you?

>>12913704

>Major, actually. And you did. Although supposedly it was for an exercise... but the prize were still a pair of underwear.

>>12913704
"Yeah, JUST for panties? A bonus to be sure, but the extra clone is great enough!"

>>12913723
>Irons stands by >>12913581 on this matter. Shooting friends over new clones, sure; over fetish material? That's just a prize to be immediately auctioned off into the team at great profit if successfully acquired.

>>12913713
Right, upgrades! So... does double promotion imply two upgrades? I'd boosted my predator's gatlings by +1 damage; should I just leave it at that, or increase something else? On my anti-armor or predator stats?

>*shakes head* Second engagement (technically) 1 kill 1 rocket knocked down. Down a clone (that just got replaced) Bad luck, I has it.

>>12913727
". . ." Mutters crossly.

>>12913727

"I was actually giving the winning team some, 'service' with R00 in a maid outfit, since you boys like her so much. But uh, after that? Yeah, guess that idea went out the window. Plus an extra meat suit sounded a bit better."
>"Major, you alright? You're, ah, bleeding."
"Heheh, I'm fine McMillan. Just get me some band aids and I'll be fine."

>>12913764

"Irons, I do believe you're a Sergeant now. So go ahead, add that tag. Will probably mean you can run as a CO if I'm not hanging around."

"And also, I simply wanted to piss off Fierstrom. Said I wasn't hard enough on you guys. So to get back at her I let you guys see/have her unmentionables."

" DAMMIT MCMILLIAN I SAID GIVE ME BACK MY GU- OH FINE.

EHEM"

" Another purpose for this excercise is to use this as a proving grounds for capable squad leaders, and after today I am not disappointed. Ghost, Irons you've both earned your keep. You and many others' roles in the next operation against the Makarians will be crucial. When we engage them - we will need to hit them with pin pricks where it will hurt. And to all other clones, know that a big operation is coming up:

Sources in the sky tell us of approaching space time irregularities, this means that they are coming here, have already came here, or will consider coming here- it's makarian physics its as slick as goose shit as far as I'm concerned.
There will be an update at 2000 tomorrow at the latest. It maybe more intel. It might even be a deployment. This all hinges on how hungry the makarians are for punishment ! "

DISMISSED

>>12913822

"YOU HEAR THAT BOYS? THE MAKS ARE BACK, AND THIS TIME, WE AIN'T LETTIN' 'EM RUN AWAY!"

>>12913804
"Right, Major. Thanks. I'd tell you that your joke was hilarious, but I'm given ta understand that the Inquisition records these conversations."

>>12913771

"That's alright Commander, I think I'll wait until she puts way the sword..."

>>12913854
>Sgt. goes outside the bracket, methinks.

"Oh, like she needs a recording to figure that out. Hence she tried to claw my eyes out, I think. And rip my lips out."

>>12913874
"Was planning to give you guys service, but, uh, guess she really wanted to do her laundry, eh? Also, I don't think Fierstrom would allow it. Or R00, although if you ask she might be fine with it. Yeah. Keep clear of Fierstrom."

"I can see it now: The Overseers gathered around watching disapprovingly as we kill each other for Inquisitor panties. Or watching approvingly. I'm not sure which would be more worrying."

>Right, outside bracket... You can tell it's four in the morning and I'm not thinking right. Did not expect this to last seven hours.

>>12913886
"Your lips? I hope you have THAT on recording, sir."

>If I have a second upgrade to play with, witness Sharky Mark II, vehicle of those who believe in firing all their rockets in a single round and then blasting the shit out of everything in proximity with high-impact gatling guns.
>If I don't have one, well, Sharky Mark I will suffice.

>Sleep now.

Well, fuck.

I decide to get some coding done and I miss skirmish quest.

Lesson learned, 4chan. Never do anything productive again.
