Private Shrimp reporting in SAH

How do I play? This looks fun.

>How do I play? This looks fun.

Second image on there is classes. Pick one, and a name and trip, and report in.

>>15603882

First, pick a trip and name. Goes in the name field. Such as:

Pvt. Newguy#thisisthesecuretrip

Pick a class according to the picture to the right.

Rolls are made with d10s. Low rolls are good. To roll a d10, enter "dice 1d10" into the email field.

When you pick a class, the CO will provide you a number to go along with your letter. So I might be [A3]. The 3 will be attatched to your character icon on the map.

See prior games for details, as indicated by: >>15603900

Or just ask more questions.

Reporting in.

All right, so we got

[A] Pvt. Rogers
[A] Rutowski

[S] Pvt. Boat

for our team so far. We start our op in an hour, accordin' to the bossman.

Any y'all got any fun ideas for kickin' dem sunsabitches outta this town?

reporting sir

>>15604011

Hey, it's McAvoy! How you doin' man?

>>15604003

(if opposition is mainly infantry) mines to block off some routes and snipers on rooftops

'Ello, I'm Boat, but you can call be Shrimp, thats what everyone calls me

>fuck forgot my trip ahhhh this will be it for now on

Briefing:

We will begin in the southern partition of town. Enemy armor and defenses will bet to the north east industrial district. We can concentrate all our forces to drive north with a ceaseless lightning offensive or work our way through the slums to sabotage their factory works. Armored reinforcements will arrive by midnight [in 5hours]. If the factory isn't taken over by then, we risk getting pushed out of the city or prolonging the fight.

If we win the city before midnight, we stand a good chance to let the enemy drive into an iron wall.

Rogers. Glad to see you here.
You will be promoted to Sgt. for your dedicated service to this counter invasion.

Reporting in!

>>15604070

Concerning our derelict Engineer; he has been holed up to the north west quadhouse, the undead is seemingly drawn to his presence...

I would suggest a small rescue group to extract him. Otherwise, finish the mission before his situation gets too bad.

I'll try and take the higher routes. I can watch ya over you folks from there.

>>15604090

Oh, so I get ta be boss an' everythin? Sounds awesome.

Oh-kay, tags, tags tags tags...


[A1] McAvoy
[A2] Rutowski
[A3] Pvt. Rogers

[S1] Pvt. Boat

[M1] Pvt. Anderfels

'Ere y'all go, tags. Make sure to change it properly. This one time, me and my buddy Joe forgot to change our tags. Ended up loosing that practice match, 'cause our commander couldn't figure out where the hell we were on the map an' all.

Added to our forces is a small team of Combat Engineers. With them; they can create barricades, set up jump pads, install sentry guns and even set up combat stretchers to recessitate wounded or dying soldiers on the field.

Feel free to change your combat designations accordingly, a training liaison can offer you the training needed to perform your job.

>>15604169

So uhh... I guess Boats will move up on our flanks or something along the rooftops like a ninja, covering our butts.

And uhh.. the Assault troops will charge up the center and cover each other, I guess? With Anderfels movin' with us so we don' get smeared when we run into a gaggle o' ghouls, or a tank.

Tags updated. Should we try to capture the high ground to the north, west, east, or some combination of the three? Something's going to shoot at us from a roof at some point, best to make that difficult early on.

>>15604234

Yeah, that sounds smart. Get high ground and kill them sunsabitches? Sounds good to me

>>15604234
Tag updated. Perhaps I could get a buddy to spot for me?

>>15604277
Nah scratch that, we're low on the men as it is. Forget I said anything.

So uh.. boss commander, can you tell us where our LZ's gonna be?

Somebody call for an engineer?

Quick question, sir. Can we built multiples of the same structure, like more than one jump pad or turret at any one time?

>>15604330
Also I assume it's one kit per team member?

>>15604359

Gunther, you're E1

Hey, don't forget me!

>>15604376

Yeah, you're M1.

So, uhh, the combat roster's this thingamajig right 'ere folks. If you ain't on it, then say something so I can put you on it. On account o' me havin' the pen an' all, and you not.

[A1] McAvoy
[A2] Rutowski
[A3] Pvt. Rogers

[S1] Pvt. Boat

[M1] Pvt. Anderfels

[E1] Pvt. Gunther

" As suspected , we'll be short on men for this battle. "

" Should we wait for our reinforcements to arrive ? "

>>15604400
Wish I had a pen. All I got is a knife to mark my kills.

>>15604422

Remember; we'll be dealing with enemy Armor, which are immune to small arms fire. But fall from explosive ordinance.

>>15604400

SIR

SOMEBODY HAD TO BRING THE BIG GUNS, SIR!

We would be better with another M.

>>15604436

Good of you to get here weathers; Rocket launchers are [Hr] , Machinegunners are [Hm]

>>15604436
That can work.

>>15604436

Weathers, don' go callin' me sir an' all. Imma private an' everythin', just like you too.

Updated combat roster:


[A1] McAvoy
[A2] Rutowski
[A3] Pvt. Rogers

[S1] Pvt. Boat

[M1] Pvt. Anderfels

[E1] Pvt. Gunther

[H1] Pvt. Weathers

Anyone wanna go puck up an grenade launcher?

>>15604450

TERRIBLY SORRY ABOUT THE CONFUSION, SIR.

I BROUGHT THE FIREWORKS

>>15604460

SORRY ABOUT THAT, ROGERS.

I NEVER REALLY LEARNED HOW THE LITTLE MEDALS WORK, SO I'VE FOUND IT SAFEST TO CALL EVERYONE SIR.

FORGIVE THE SHOUTING, MEDIC SAYS I BLEW AN EARDRUM FIRING THIS BADBOY

>>15604478
You blow them high, I knock em down again!

>>15604478

Ah shucks, that's cool man.

Did I ever tell you guys about the time me an' my buddy Joe got our hands on some fireworks? Well, it turns out, they weren't fireworks, but old explosives some military dudes forgot to explode and I guess forgot about 'em or somethin'.

Those were the whole reason we decided to join the military. That, an blowin' up walls on accident meant we hadda skip town.

>>15604478
Fireworks are fine with me, so long as you keep em away from my sweet little Isara here. *pats sentry gun* She's a shy one.

Oh yeah, so ya'll don't forget. There's a time limit for doin' stuff during our phase.

Meaning, you guys need to be F5ing like the North Star dude and posting right away when the bossman drops his map.

>Watch as I'm two seconds too late.

Processing Map Data. Will post in 20 Minutes.
Get ready to sorte.

command is it possible to modify my squad's loadout from frag to smoke grenades?

Oh yeah, we can get three dudes for the BiTank Advance.

Don't know what the blazes that is.

Anyone want in?

>>15604600
Wait, does that mean we're just gonna babysit them, or are we actually gonna be able to DRIVE those sweet ladies?

Because if it's the second one, I AM SO IN.

>>15604600

Dont Worry about it Sgt. Just lead the footboys to do their thing, my team is picked out on our end.
Just give us a turn 1 general strategy and we'll run with it.

Well I reckon that those alleys there on our left flank make the eastern part of the town mighty chokey. I reckon Isara and a couple more sentries could lock down that area and keep any Vossies from trying to flank us.

>>15604647
WESTERN, I mean. Was never too good at using compasses.

>>15603940

SO, to be sure I get everything my sheet is telling me:
I've got 3 rockets, chosen between AP and HE, with a range of 7.

I can either use 3 move points a turn, or 1 action point (so I can shoot, or run, but not both.) I have to reload after every rocket.

I don't know what the 7 after the rocket type means, or what the other stuff means (except Blast, I understand that one.)

I'm gonna head high, and scan with my scope.

>>15604612

Hey waitaminute, aren't you the sarge here?

>>15604656
>>15604647
>>15604611

All right then, we'll stick to being ground pounders then.

We'll run up the West side then, seeing as we'll be less likely to run into a tank that way. I think.

Boat, you go run up some building and do yer snipin' thing.

*raises hand*

Sir, eh... I'm sorry, just a few days ago we were farmers, we can't make heads or tails out of this "unit sheet" Command gave us. What do all the little numbers and things mean? I mean, I know which end to point at the enemy and all, but the rest is beyond me, Sir.

>>15604671

7 after the ammo type is the number you're rolling against for a successful hit

>>15604691
I was a fisherman.

>>15604698

Ah, good.
So my AP round is a 1 Direct (so it hits one square?), roll under 7 for a hit
My HE round is Blast, roll under 7 to hit, or roll under 4 to hit for direct.

And my two hearts mean I can take 2 damage before eating it, I presume

I'm still confused about these fancy kits the quartermasters were handing out. Are we only supposed to carry one of those per teammate, and if we use em up, how do we get more?

A man with glass steps up behind the group.
"Private Fields reporting in."

>>15604691

Err, right. Okay.

First, movement and actions are usually in greentext. Don't ask me why; I don't know either.

You'd do something like:
>Move 4 West
>Shoot at asshole N of me on the roof

And when you do, you roll for your action.

You got a grenade launcher, so you roll, and you hit on 6 and below, 4 and below if you're trying to get a direct hit. Or if it's 4 and below it IS a direct it.

After you shoot, you gotta spend an action to reload. Just something like:

>Reload grenade launcher.

You got infinite reloads.

You got two bombs. You can make it timed or a mine. Treat it the same as above; just take one action to place it. Specify what kind of wirin' you're doing, because bomb roullette isn't as fun as it sounds.

>>15604691

numbers in squares are generally the maximum number for a successful hit (low rolls are good)

assumption: for Ms, rolls<6 but >4 gives blast damage while rolls<4 gives additional direct damage

>>15604728

I dunno, but I think it's one per teammate. You think since it can resupply ammo, you can use it to resupply yourself?

>>15604766
Don't go getting all philosophical on me now.

Then again, I kinda like the way you think. If it doesn't do that already I'LL FIND A WAY TO MAKE IT SO.

>>15604737
>>15604761

Thanks, fellas. I just need to ask one more thing. This is going to sound real stupid but... How many guys are there supposed to be in my squad? Jenkins here says he's supposed to stick with me, but should we be 2 people on this here gun or 3?

>>15604736
Well, aren't you the strangest Knight I ever saw.

>>15604736

didn't you die at Norwood?

>>15604800
It's the glasses, people don't expect to see a fighter in glasses.

>>15604798

Two in yer squad. It's the two little circle guys in the poster picture thing.

>>15604808
That could be it.

>>15604807
That would be my brother, anonymous voice of the wind, Private A. Fields. I'm Private M. Fields

>>15604798
Last I checked you explodey guys usually just ran in pairs, so I think you and your pal Jenkins got the right idea.

Just a tip. On the sheet, to the right of the class name you'll see a number of wierd looking icons things. That's how many guys are in a team. So, in summary:

Engineers are a quartet.
Vanguards and Assault troopers run in trios.
Heavies and Arty run in pairs.
And those creepy ass scout snipers are lone wolves.

>>15604811

Oh yeah, now I see it. Well, thanks for everything, now if you don't mind I'm gonna read the booklet we got about how to set these bombs. Hmm... "Front Towards Enemy". Well, that does make sense.

Sgt. Mana reporting for duty IronCommand, I was worried you were overun.

>>15604827
I'm not creepy! Who doesn't mark their kills?

>>15604827

You gotta admit, them girl scouts got nice asses though.

Just don't tell 'em that though. Last time, me an' my buddy Joe tried to hit on one, and the next thing we knew, we were hanging upside down from a tree.

>>15604852

MY KILLS MARK THEMSELVES. YOU JUST LOOK FOR SCORCH MARKS! HA!

>>15604835

Hey there Mana! You wanna run V2 today?

>>15604866
Not a problem... At worse I'll probably end in a BiTank... Not like I don't have experience in those.

>>15604856
Oh yeah, I was hung upside down so many times. And cut once.

>>15604879
Hello there madam, I am Pvt. Boat, I will be watching over you with my trusty rifle.

>>15604856
Yeah, well in my experience these guys have the nasty habit of NOT IDENTIFYING THEMSELVES. Plays havoc with my sentries when they just start going wild and taking potshots at them. And then they have the gall to come and complain to ME about it!

"Design it better?" How about TURN ON YOUR DAMN IFF RUNE ONCE IN A WHILE.

>>15604884

THEY TRIED THAT ON ME ONCE.

I WEIGHED MORE THAN THE BRANCH COULD TAKE.

WE WERE BOTH EMBARASSED.

Brothers of Ragnyll,

MOVE OUT !

>Action Phase
You have 100 seconds !

>>15604910
Engineers, moving out!

>Move 3 spaces west.

>>15604910

>RUN FULL WEST

"LET'S GO, INFANTRY! FLANK DAT ASS!"

>Northeast Three
>Shield North West, North East, and East

Time to advance then.

>>15604879
>Move 6W

>>15604910
>4 Spaces Northwest
>Intercept Radio

>run 6 W

>Move 3 East.

>E E SE SE E E

>>15604910

>Move North 3

>>15604939
Reverse that.
>West 2, Southwest 1

Circling around to take care of the ghouls and get to the engineer.

>>15604946
Scratch that Spot Instead

>>15604939
Field I leave you the main front and will go deal with the ghouls, I'll try to set a flag NW at the city entrance so we can have a fallback point if shit hit the fan.

>>15604947

We can run?

Countermand
>>15604949

>RUN 6 East

>>15604939
>>15604959
>>15604976
All right then,
>North East 2, East 1
Shield West, Northwest, Northeast

Last time I'll change the action

>>15604988
Yes but after a run you can't attack.

Well dang, we can't get left behind!

>Revise order. Run 6 spaces west.

Action Phase End

>>15604997
Sgt Mana, I recommend you get moving across that bridge and into the western district asap.

(M1 could mine that choke point behind the car)

>>15605019
Already on my way, my first objective is that engineer though. I hope those soldier will have enough brain to cover me.

>>15604997
Don't bother me, sir. I can't fire after walking.

Most important is that I get some height to fire on that armor.

>>15605033
Might wanna wait till our tanks pass by. Don't want no friendly fire or anything like that.

"Deploy me....Give me a shot"

>>15605104
Good to meet ya. I have to reload sometime.

>>15605104

Okay. You get deployed... somewhere where it makes sense ASAP.

>On action revisions: NOPE

ENEMY PHASE

>>15605123
That's fair.

CURSE MY SLOW LEGS

>>15605123
Come on, come on. Gimme your secrets...

Guys running on the west side...

Uhh.. I think a good objective would be for us to go and capture/secure that thing that looks a bit like a coffin.

And if it turns out to be a coffin, then it might be a good idea that we explode it.

>>15605182

that would be the engineer

>>15605182
I think that might be where our Very Important Engineer is holed up.

>>15605182
I think that's our engineer distress signal, also if some one of the two soldier going west could go east, I'd be grateful, ghoul are though but they aren't that though

I'm gonna blow that enemy sniper's brains all over his buddies.

>>15605251
Don't forget to blow that enemy heavy weapon team too.

>>15605259
You know it!

FIELDS IS TAKING FIRE !

ACTION PHASE !

>Move 2NW 4W
I hope one of you will kill that ghoul...

>>15605298
Run E to the ladder near A 2

rolled 1 = 1

>Move 3 W
>All guys shoot at Ghoul to the West

"COVERING FIRE!"

Because the entire "Small Squad" moved west.
>Run
>West 4, into the water.

>Move NE NE
>Shoot tank
>Go prone

rolled 7 = 7

>forgot roll

>Moving for [A2], Rutowski
>Move 2 E
>Climb Ladder, 1 N

Sgt, You going to command those tanks or let them sit there and look pretty?

>>15605298
>North West, North East
>Shoot Enemy Sniper

RUN E, NE, NE, NE.

Screw it, If they're gonna come to me, so be it.

Action Phase End.

>>15605363

I assume since captcha ate my name, I do nothing

rolled 6 = 6

>>15605364
Can I roll?

Dammit.

>>15605352

Well, since I *technically* ain't sarge...

I dunno, I guess he's doin it somewhere.

If they don't move, well, I guess a crew can jump in 'em I guess.

>>15605352
Vanders, if you could should those tanks before another member of the fields family die...

>>15605395
Jesus christ. Who's idea was it to rush forward like that?

>>15604070
>>15604136
>>15605411
Command's

>>15605411
The Ghoul don't scare, I'll take them any days over a tank...

>>15605436

You want me to pay back the tank that fired on you, or another one, when I get the chance?

>>15605453
Any support on the forward MAIN offensive would be great.

>>15605453

Aim for that crane. Might be fun to blow it up an' see if it squishes anyone.

>>15605453
Down them one by one, Once we have that cleared it'll be easier for the BiTank squad to clear the infantry

If S2 can back me up that would be great.

Blasting that crane so that it falls southerward, blocking that road might buy us a phase or two whilst the tanks work on blasting it away.

>>15605540
They don't actually need to blast it. W of them is a slope.

>>15605520
"Rain death, spot. Tank're other's problem"
>HACK
>COUGH

Well, sorry about that. Radio went on the fritz and we missed the last round of orders- HOLY SHIT WHAT HAPPENED TO FIELDS.

Vanders:
" Alright Armor move up and keep the porch occupied ! "
"THAT'S RIGHT YOU DAMN VOSK, THIS LIGHTNING RUNS AND GUNS ! "

Enemy Phase

>>15605580
"Eat it, you Voss basterd! One more for the barrel!"

>>15605580
Jesus, did Anderfels just get hit?

>>15605614

Well, it's either that or we're hidden by the muzzle flash of that Bitank.

I hope it's the latter and this isn't my ghost talking.

A1, A2 I want you to move out as far as you can next action phase. I'll deal with the ghoul and we'll save our engineer in two phase is that understood?

>>15605614

Negative. Anderfels is on the car.

>>15605557
what if we blast the crane so it falls on top of the tanks?

>>15605662

Those are a lot of ghouls... but I got ya.

Squad, run across the bridge and prepare a firing line!

Let's do this, McAvoy!

>>15605662
affirmative

>>15605668
Ah, there we go.

That's military camoflauge for you!

>>15605662
I'll be climbing up on that shore just Southeast of the Engineer's building.

>>15605713

Well, it fooled me too, I tell ya when that Bitank fired behind me I didn't know whether I was still here or in heaven... And my ears are ringin' like a church bell on St. Borun's Day.

>>15605729
Very well, once the engineer building is secured we'll raise a flag to allow any reinforcment to flank the enemy.

(woah why the third page?)

Fields is down to a man !
We've also lost a tank !

WE CAN'T LET THEM TAKE THE FLAG !
DESTROY THAT BRIDGE IF YOU HAVE TO !

>run 6 across bridge and N

rolled 10, 2, 9, 5 = 26

>>15605838

I'd ask you to stop eating my name, captcha, but I'm currently angrier at the dice.

>>15605804
Well shit, it looks like we've got demoted to base defense, boys!

>Move 1NE 1E
>Set up Sentry Turret behind the sandbags pointing towards the mouth of the bridge.

M1 set timed charge on that bridge

Continue up ladder

>Run W across bridge

Action Phase End

Vanders, seeing as my team can't do it, Destroy that bridge.

>>15605871

>Please tell me I got in, otherwise, I'm going to have to go into covering fire mode.

Rifles have a range of 7, and hit on 7, so I can comfortable hit just about everything from the bridge, I think. Just in case.

Next round plan, if the bridge is still up, down it no matter how you do it. They can't take that flag. I'll rush the stair I count on A1 and A3 to shoot those ghoul, unless something happen during the enemy phase,

If the bridge is down I want whoever is near it to harass the enemy while making your way west, exception of the scouts, I'll leave you to do your thing. If worse come to worse we'll use the West bridge as a last stand.

Field if you can head to the flag to get new member for your team.

>>15605905

err if my interpretation of the unit sheet is correct,

assault rifles have a to hit of 6 and a range of 5
any attempt to hit beyond 5 decreases to hit by 1(deduced from previous SQ games)

>>15606007
And if all else fails SENTRY SPAM. Damn Vossies won't be capping our flag without a fight! We'll fend them off with our godamn wrenches if we have to!

>>15606007
I'll do my best!

>>15606012

Oh, you're right.

Funny, I think it might have gotten nerfed.

Or I just can't read for shit.

>>15606007
Roger, Sir. I'll take down the bridge if it's the last thing I do in my life!

>>15606007
If I'm still alive, I'll be happy to reinforce my squad.

>>15606082
You got one man left. Make him count.

ENEMY PHASE.

THE ENEMY IS CLOSING IN ! BRACE FOR IMPACT !

>>15606066

Might be better to mine the bridge, then wait for them to inch across, THEN blow it when they get on it.

That way, they gotta turn around and stuff, and we can shoot them while they've got nowhere to go.

And we might get one or two to fall.

>>15606092
My brother once took down a tank by himself, and has lead a squad to eliminate another tank when he died at Norwood, I think I will be ohkay if some support can get up here.

Wait, how many health points is one heart?

>>15606171

Two, if I'm not mistaken.

that, or it's one.

>Move N N
>Place MINE
>Move S S
>Reload

Sarge, get in there and do what you do best!

McAvoy and I will cover you!

McAvoy! Try to get the ghouls furthest from you, I'll focus on the closer ones!

>>15606133
Oh damnit M1, You're in the range for those marauder to charge you.
S1 priority target is anything that get on that bridge,

>>15606179

still enemy phase mate

>>15606211

I could just throw grenades at the enemy cluster. . .

>>15606254

That'll work too, but ya might hit the sarge with the explosion, yah?

Unless he feels particularly ballsy and wants that kind of thing.

Yo S2! Climb take out that Weapons team to the north west of you, I need to reload!

>>15606287
Pfft as long as it isn't a direct hit I can probably take 3 of those, go ahead if you want to use the grenade just try to undershoot rather than overshoot, else I'll chew you once this is finished,

>>15606287

copy, will throw grenades at next phase

sarge, be sure to specify that your advance is done after the resulting explosion

>>15606309
"That was the plan...."

>>15606359
Good! Just making sure your keeping up!

S1 has fallen,
Hr1 has been heavily damaged !

Very well team strategy time.

>Move 3E
>Crouch down and set up combat stretcher.

How about we get an opportunity to talk strategy so we can do this phase properly? Do over the moves of this phase?

>>15606553

action phase has ended

hopefully A2's nades did what was intended though, rolls were pretty good, it should keep enemy tanks from the bridge for at least a phase

Very well, Here's the Squad status

A1 covering west 100% capacity
A2 ??? 100% capacity
A3 covering west 100% capacity

V1 Getting back to flag 33% capacity
V2 Flagging what we think is the engineer house 100% capacity

M1 Destroying that bridge... 100% Capacity from what I see

H1 Got shot down 50% capacity

E1 Taking care of H1 100% capacity

S1 Dead

S2 killing enemy thing 100% capacity (don't forget to crouch)

What we really need is to flank those damn tanks. That we we could get some pressure off the bridge and our BiTanks can pop out and contribute some firepower.

What do you guys reckon, should I convert to Hm and cover the bridge? It doesn't look like grenades are doing a lot.

>>15606610
Working on that sadly without a heavy weapon or mobil artillery team I'll have to charge them...

Hold the bridge for as long as reasonably possible, then once it's destroyed (if it get destroyed) head west. Depending on the situation there we'll have either engaged the enemy or we'll be falling back. if we are engaging your job will be to support us, if we're falling back we'll want to hold them long enough for engineering to set up baricades on the western side of that bridge.

>>15606640
If anything, go Hr. There's not much in the way of infantry trying to cross the bridge and our biggest problem are the tanks.

Though can we even swap classes mid-battle? I thought you could only do that between battles.

>>15606659
You can swap if you're near a flag.

>>15606659

I think I recall reading that you could do that on a Flag point. And that's what I'm sitting on right now. But I think it takes a turn? I'm not sure. Do my grenades even do damage to tanks?

>>15606683
Direct hit does two damage, Heavy rocket does three with AP 2 with HE

>>15606659

it can be done on the flags

it will take up a whole phase though

>>15606609
A2 has engaged (and destroyed?) the crane

>>15606657
where should we plant the flag btw? that place where the engineer is looks awfully vulnerable to tank fire

>>15606709
I was planing on planting it between the two L3 Roof.

>mfw you guys are still struggling along

It's just so precious!

>>15606755
Well we rarely have ten players, and while some of our squad may miss a turn, they never miss one.

Not sure if trolling...?

Anyway, for plans... Anyone up for bombing houses from across the river?

I'm thinking McAvoy, Mana, and I will sweep through the western half of ghouls. I don't know if the enemy forces would be wiling to fire on the engi's house, seeing as they might want him alive rather than dead (hopefully).

In any case, on the eastern side, it's going to be tough. It looks like the only way to do it is by way of a massive slug fest. In which case, it might just be easier to go as M's and spam grenades left and right (as well as some smokes to conceal our own positions).

In fact, smoke grenades should be used to conceal our tanks. They have the big cannons, and we only have two of them left.

Alternatively, just how DEEP is the river? They may be able to wade across it, or jump it.

>>15606790
What makes me warry is that hangar with a "skull" on it...

>>15606824
the "skull" is the same icon as that on the Ms cap on the unit sheet

wild guess: it might be an ammo dump or something

>>15606790

We blow the bridge, then E1 plants a jump pad on a good spot, then we jump across?

>>15606847
Could be, we'll have to ask that engineer about it...

>>15606852
We'll see about that, since at the moment anywhere you would jump to is full of enemy.

>>15606852
How far can it launch somebody?

Never did bother reading the damn manual for those things.

! The Bridge is weakening !

ENEMY PHASE

"5 squares...launches anything...one direction"

>COUGH

>>15606966

Wisper, you know we got, like, cough drops and stuff in our basic soldierin' kit, right?

>>15606880
The Jump Pad can launch any occupant 5 squares up and out.

The farther the landing zone, the safer the occupant will be.

The jump pads will only spring to one direction and at the strength of 5squares. If it collides a wall or lands the target more than 2 levels down, expect some broken bones.

The Jump pads can launch anything that can be contained within a hex.

Hey E1, you mind moving the sentry gun closer to our flag? It's not doing much good where it is right now.

>>15606995

Hey, you think we can launch like, TANKS with a couple of those?

>>15606994
"Neck wounds...aren't easy to heal"

>>15606997
I set it up there so i could cover the mouth of the bridge without being in the direct line of fire of the tanks. Plus all the infantry on this end have been eliminated anyways so there's not much point moving it.

Command, If you're deciding yourself to send reinforcement send anti-tank teams...

>>15607060

Speakin' of which, can't that westernmost Bitank cross the river on the western side and support the push to the Engineer? Just an idea, Sirs.

>>15607073
I'd rather have it on hand if the second BiTank get targeted which will probably happen this turn.

>>15607096

Can't BiTanks jump?

Hey Gunther, if I survive this tank attack, could you give me some more mines? I'm out.

Hey, I know I've been rolling one dice I've been shooting with my squad, but...

Is it possible for me to roll the dice for each individual soldier?

So if I shoot with the SMG's, and I do it for each squad member, I'd roll 9 dice?

>>15607674
Well, if we have any luck left, the tank you just fragged with your mine won't' be able to fire. In that case, it's blocking the tanks behind it as well. If not, well, lets just hope Vossie cannons can't depress very well.

Unless engineers actually can perform field repairs then in that case stick with the Bittank and try to fix whatever we can.

I was talking about the people protecting the bridge, as for us we'll head north and place a flag where there's a fence. from there we will be able to us the hangar roof

>>15608275
uh what about the engineer and the coffin?

actually, what the fuck is the engineer talking about?

>>15608295

Fuck if I know, but I think the appropriate plan would be to kill all sunsabitches and get the good engineer and his girly box outta here.

Would be considerably easier to go south, but it would take longer compared to going to the northern fence.

Can we get some air support up in here, or some stuff?

>>15608248

"Ok boys time to get out of here, those reinforcement are tippings the balance against us. Unless any of you has a bright idea."

About Flagzone Support:
Flagzones guarantee certain benefits once they are staked.

[Air Support]: Can drop supplies on the Flag Zone

[Fire Support]: If an FZ is connected to a road, Artillery can be rolled up.
If an FZ is on high ground; it can provide flight control with bomber coordinates.

Reinforcements: FZs connected to Roads , other FZs or can provide a 7 comb hex of clear space can drop in more troops to bolster your squad or redeploy as new.

These can be done with a ranking officer or one unit on any flag zone.

The BiTank will use the building as cover and protect the bridge.
V1,V2,A1 and A3 will head south at full speed
S2 will place a flag and serve as a spotter for the bombers/artillery

Everyone else is to head to the undamaged bridge and set a flag there, from there we will extract the case, regroup and counterattack, Any question?

No problem, I was planning to hand that case to V1 and act as a rearguard myself.

I will try and get over and set up a sentry at the west bridge for some cover fire, assuming something doesn't pull me away from the computer again.

Don't worry as long as the bombers can take out at least two tank we should be fine.

I accept my own part into what just happened... at least I got out of this alive, in my defense I joined a bit close to the limit.

July ... I dont know. . .

We gave it a whiteknuckled swing.
But the fight for Stilemar is far from over.
We had swayed from lines to save an engineer who carried a forboding coffin with him. It was as heavy as the men that died put into one. And already it felt like a cursed thing.

I can only hope, now , however, If hope is even a thing to have times like this one-

hope that this will shed meaning.

To be Continued.

Ohkay. Got two points from killing some ghouls so can't get anything yet. When is the next game?

damn that was a long game

>>15609437
"Not all live to fight again"
>COUGH COUGH

>>15609458
Well you kind of rushed alone right into their field of fire...

otherwise 7 points in ghoul killed... not bad if I say so myself

Both access points south have been destroyed. Between us and the enemy is a black river that ghouls fear to tread. It will take the enemy a few days to swing around so the fight on StileMar is all but lost.

We've set up camp in these shellridden cities, I often imagine being blown away any second now.
But not till

Not Until we've had the fight we came here for, dammit..

"...We should call up the artillery and start pounding their positions..."

"...Looks like ol' Bucky Rogers kick it today, huh? ..."

Eh, a bit disappointed that I wasn't able to do much this battle. In retrospect I probably should have committed to deploying on the west end.

Also, since Engies are primarily a support class and don't have many means to take down enemies, do they have alternative means of collecting exp?

>>15609478
Sorry for failling the mission command, I hope that coffin was worth it.

>>15609468

Why didn't you redeploy you died half a day ago.

>>15609500

Structures built.

>>15609521
Nice, that means 3 exp for me.

Oh yeah, and the thread's finally been archived.

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/15603823/

>>15609477
Command said offensive to the north, and only send a small squad to the west for the engineer. I'm sorry the small squad included two thirds of the whole regiment.

>>15609521
I'll go fall exhausted somewhere if you don't mind command...

>>15609504

We'll collate your debriefs and see if Paranormal Logistics will know anything. If what Oderkon says is true, the enemy is using our Ibonyte reserves to fuel some dark project of theirs "

>>15609550
Well I didn't plan for two of the three soldier squad to go west... I mean I was more useful at killing ghoul than at taking lead from the enemy tank... bringing a sword to a gunfight isn't that bright if I say so myself, Vossk don't use a lot of close combat fighter,,, (not that it prevent me from doing so)

Now that we dont have any clear access points across the bridge we'll have to get creative. The enemy wont budge from their spot on the slightest possibility that we can cross. And another force is gonna swing around and hit us from behind in a few days. If we can't take it back before that time we are well and truly trapped here to die : )

>>15609550
To be fair, if we didn't send the number of forces that we had over there, the flanking force would have been overwhelmed by the ghoul ambush.

Though it would have been a MAJOR help to have known about off-site support assets a little earlier.

>>15609583
Couldn't we use smoke shell with the artillery, use the jump pad and mount an assault?

>>15609600
We'd have to find a really nice spot to set it up, though. A point on the river narrow enough to cover the gap while at the same time having ample cover against possible counterattack.

damn wound, I'm going to take some sleep command god knows I'll need it if I am to lead again.

A lot of the problems we had boiled down to one thing: Lack of central leadership. What you are in need of are field commanders that can coordinate these things while I handle the war of paper stacks. It's unforunate but thats my throne currently.

With only so many of you there I believe naming someone to call the shots would be needed in order to keep a consistent and effecient strategem.

1 or 2 COs or even just Tactical Advisors ,since the Hellghast unit already has a Lieutenant.

Even then, he has his hands tied.

>>15609592
>>15609550

Sorry, I felt it was rather... foolish? Yeah, foolish to rush across the bridge... with the tanks and lots of guys with guns and possibly making a mess out of things.

So I figured, since I can't scratch the tanks, and the densely packed guys would be easily taken care of by our snipers and our own explosives, I thought a flanking maneuver would work best.

Which it did, until reinforcements arrived.

>>15609656

In any case, since you are highest ranking here, Mana. You'll be taking command of this operation for the time being.
Get some rest and be ready to fight this out.

Your still treating it as only the vanguard had run across the bridge. If the tanks had move sooner, or better yet, the heavy weapons teams had fired sooner, it wouldn't be the same.

If you want to name advisors or leaders, do so command.

Fields, as you were the only one to have actually stuck to the letter of the plan, you wear the advisory hat and can draft up the next surprise for our dear enemies. A plan is only as good as its cost in lives, your brothers paid that. I am sorry.

It is said that everything that happens before the battle is where the battle takes place. The exchange of fire, is simply the tip of that spear.

When do you guys tend to run Iron Hearts?

I think a far better plan would have been to blow the bridge from the start, and have a few units cover the approach to the flag while most of our guys went west, nabbed the Engineer and flanked the tanks. Had I known the bridge was destructible I would have suggested this before the first turn. We're so few that splitting up our forces was crippling.

I have a suggestion for a unit, now that we're about to be surrounded: Airborne Infantry. Drop'em from the sky on any spotted location, trick is that they have low health. What do you think? Is it doable?

Also, it would have been nice to know about the support available prior to the battle. And in order to make up some kind of meaningful strategy, we need to see not just the map, but also enemy troop deployment, prior to the start of battle, otherwise people have no central coordination and spend the first turn doing their own thing. A rundown on what kind of support options we have would also be nice.

And this seems pretty unfair, not to mention abusable. I roll E, build a few structures, cash in on the EXP and then roll a combat class with an upgrade. I propose that E gain exp only for those structures that were UTILIZED during the battle. Did a sentry kill someone? EXP. Was a jump pad used to launch someone? EXP. Was a barrier used as cover? EXP. It cuts down on abuse potential.

Also, I suggest minelaying and blowing up structures could also give EXP to the rest of us that can't build stuff.

Also, can engineers repair bridges and tanks? I really hope they can.
