FIELDS, WEATHERS ! WAKE UP WE'RE BEING ATTACKED !

[you are in FZ center]

Falling in, command, I'm up and ready.

Very well everyone knows what they have to do. let's get this on

GENTLEMEN YOUR COMBAT DESIGNATIONS ARE AS FOLLOWS !


[V1] Mana

[E1] Gunther

[Hr1] Daughterly
[Hr2] Piotrowski
[Hr3] Weathers

[M1] Iceval
[M2] Harken&Greaves

[A1] Corgi/Husky/Shepherd

[S1] Wisper
[S2] Wulfstan

WE'RE MISSING A FEW BUILDINGS AND SOME CHUNK OF LAND BUT STICK WITH THE PLAN !

GET SOME SMOKE DOWN PRONTO.

>Move 2W
>Set up barricade and crouch behind to take cover from sniper.

=ACTION PHASE =
[3 minute action phase on turn 1]

All right ther' ser, we got this un in tha' bag!

rolled 6 = 6

>fire at nearest target


>(can't see shit captain)

>>15629712
As said before, just do >>15629711

rolled 6, 10 = 16

>Move 2N Fire two shells at the NW Tank then finish the move by moving 2 E

>>15629712
>Move W NW W

Well then engineer do your magic.

>Run SW Wx5

>>15629698

SORRY SIR.

GLAD DAUGHERTY COVERED MY POSITION WHILE I NAPPED. LET'S MAKE THEIR GUNS GO BOOM.
>RUN W to Ladder, climb.

rolled 2, 10 = 12

>go prone
> Fire on Smoke, One Blast at Tank immediatley across the gap. ( first is smoke, second is blast)

Command? Can you bring up that character sheet again? I missed it in the planning thread and can't pull it up. I also can't find myself on the map.

>Move NW, use car as cover.
>Spot all opponents
>Take knee so car conceals me
"Blow them to hell"

>>15629731

Had to readjust my sign.

rolled 10 = 10

>Move East 1, North East 2.
>Called shot to the pilot of the bitank directly north of me.

>>15629738
>Move 3 SE ( Forgot this)

>>15629742
>>15629698

(He drew the map before we joined)

>>15629728
I'll set down the jump pad next phase. I don't want to risk getting shot down by that sniper while I'm setting it up. Plus it'll give our shooty guys a bit of time to thin out those ghouls.

And can we prioritize targeting that one tank on the west side?

>>15629728
Seeing as the engineer didn't put a jump pad
>move 2NW

there's already one of these threads

stop it.

ACTION PHASE END

>>15629780

ah yes better sink records of our last meeting before the enemy gets to intercept it .

there goes the phase 1 plans

didn't expect the enemy to fire first

Sorry I'm late, M3, standing by to deploy.

>Something came up, my bad.

Enemy / Vanders' Phase
" Alright Hoppers, Put on your sunday best ! "

>Looks like I'm A2 now. Don't mind, don't mind

>Run 6 W
>Stay low to avoid being seen

>>15629963
Vanders! Where tha' 'ell wer yer? We got work ta do!

[A3] if you're allowed in fact

Ok next turn I'll barrel into those ghouls, set the jump platform NE of the barricade.

>>15629963

>one of the tanks better engage those snipers on the rooftop, or they'll pick off our infantry

>>15629980

Weapons malfunctions. Ended up picking up rifles and an extra person.

>>15630007

You want me to change my designation to A3? Understood Sergeant.

>Shifting to A3, unless I remain A2 on the map, in which case I'll just go back to being A2.

>>15630029
If you swap to A, you are A3, as I was A2 before hand.

>>15630029
A2 is Field

>>15630007

>watchout for that sniper on the rooftop SW btw

>>15630099
That sniper don't scare me... the Dualan does though I'll just have to shove it in the river if worse come to worse and our swords don't hurt him.

>>15630051
>>15630046

Roger that, I guess I'm A3. Though if you need me to grab my 'nade launcher, that would be fine too.

GHOULS WERE THROWN FROM THE OTHER SIDE !

GUNTHER IS UNDER ATTACK!

ACTION PHASE !
[btw engineers can build more than one thing at a time with enough actions alloted ]

rolled 4 = 4

>Move NW 4 to be beside bitank

"You missed"
>kill that fucker

rolled 1, 3, 2 = 6

>Northwest 3, crouching up by the building if able.

> 2 NE, One Move to Reload, Fire two blasts at same Tank.

"We'll leave those ghoulies to you, sgt!"

>>15630140

>Climb to roof top.

Weathers looked at the hole blown in the building, and the smoldering ruins within. His silent companion, Marks, looked at him, eyebrow cocked.

"I'll climb a bit, then you hand me the launcher, and you climb. Should only take us two switches to get up."

Marks looked at Weathers and cocked his head.

"We're in a war, Marks, nowhere's safe."
They climbed.

rolled 4, 1, 8 = 13

>>15630140
I DID NOT KNOW GHOULS COULD JUMP THAT FAR.

>Can't tell how many guys have left, but one sets up a sentry turret and the remaining teammates melee.

rolled 7, 7, 2 = 16

>>15630204

Nevermind.

>Freeze up in the face of the enemy attack.

>>15630167

>can't move and fire at the same time mate

>>15630140

Daugherty took a brief look to his right and did a double take; pointing straight at his squad is the main gun of an enemy tank.

". . .oh shit"

That Dualan is throwing the ghouls, take it down as soon as you can.

>>15630271

>I've determined that with enough actions, [and therefore men] the HR team is as fluid as a butterfly.

Could be broke, we'll see.

AUX /ENEMY PHASE

[I have these "90 second turns" timed to a song]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSkb0kDacjs

>>15630422
Keep hittin those artillery, We can't have 'em hittin us again!

> is the building I'm directly south of a veranda?

>>15630422

Aux phase? So our vampire lady friend is doing something?

>FYI, you've got two A1's down in the corner there, boss.

>>15630422
Lieutenant get to cover damnit.

Also this mean I hit my second upgrade if I live through this.

rolled 1, 2 = 3

>>15630445
It's what i was aiming for.

>>15630471
I'm guessing I got or assist killed at least one ghouls.

>>15630501
I just hope this phase won't end with "The lieutenant is dead as the highest in command you are now in charge."

>>15630511
I'd say two even.

rolled 5, 6 = 11

>>15630518
I share your hopes.

>>15630525
Nah, I dedicated one member to set up a turret and I looks like I only got two guys left.

>>15630549
Well two of those ghoul looked strangely familiar *cough*

>When I can deploy near the West side.

Dullahan stunned by railgun sentry;
M2 annihilated !


=ACTION PHASE=

>>15630364
Daughery, you try and take another artillery. Marks and I will see if the tank likes a rocket to the snout.

rolled 8, 4, 8 = 20

>>15630586

>If I didn't get exploded.
>Move 3 W
>Fire on Ghouls to the West across riverbank
>Hope the sniper doesn't shoot us.

"Marks! Let's let the Voss eat some explosives! Daugherty can take the artillery!"

>>15630586
>move 5NW
>try to go on the other shore

ACTION PHASE END !

rolled 7, 1 = 8

Take a shot at the Tank to the West then find cover to the N.

>Set up jump pad the space North of me, pointing West.

The Stilemar Express is open and ready for business! Just remember to TUCK AND ROLL.

rolled 4, 3, 1 = 8

>West 3, fire on any targets in range to the west.

rolled 5 = 5

>>15630568

>Reposting Action to make sure its seen.

>Deploying on the West Side ASAP. If actions are allowed.
>Fire on the Sniper to the West.

>>15630602

Still can't find myself on the map. If that one A1 down south is me, and the one vaguely visible in the explosion is also me, then:

>Modify unit to recoordinate next to E1
>Still shoot ineffectually at the ghouls according to prior rolls.

>Get lost in combat.
>Weep like child.

>All in a days work.

>>15630688
>Take a sniper wound
>still charge like a boss

>>15630634

>may I suggest calling in our own arty on those artillery?

>>15630821
Seeing how the lieutenant is too stunned to do anything, I'll do it for him if he doesn't.

ENEMY PHASE /
ALL TANKS DAMAGED DONT LET UP !

>>15630821

done

>>15630899
Lieutenant, I'll set a flag and we'll have our "beach head" on the city per se, It will also allow me to apply first aid to my squadmate.

rolled 6, 9 = 15

>>15630899
>>15630930
>>15630634
>Sorry my connection is quite slow tonight.

Reporting for duty, Sir, if you need me!

rolled 7, 9 = 16

>>15631031
Finally you show up! Get your ass to the West Bank and prepare to swim!

>>15631093
Aye, Sir. I'm on it!

>>15631093
We got a jump pad set up, so no need to get wet.

The enemy is -

THE ENEMY IS RETREATING !

>>15631119
We'll have a flag there he can just deploy there anyways... well I think so.

" Mind if I do the honors lietenant ? "
Hisses Helena through a radio transmission.

rolled 3, 6, 2, 1, 2, 5 = 19

>>15631129
>Move 2NE 1NW
>attack ghouls

>>15631129
Nice! We should get the tanks on the south of the river to hop across and harass the enemy while the tank on the west circles around and tries to cut them off.

rolled 7, 4 = 11

>>15631129
"Fuck that detonate the charges our Vampire friend set."
"Men Find cover these bastards fire thier hardest when they retreat.
>Detonate the charges Vonchek set.

>>15631150
Lieutenant, even. Sorry. My articulation is rather shoddy in this dusty basement.

rolled 1 = 1

>Move 1 NE to regroup
>STABILIZE, STABILIZE, STABILIZE

"MEDIC!!!!!!"

>>15631150
>Got a bad feeling about that one, boss.

rolled 4, 7 = 11

"I would be offended if you didn't."

rolled 10, 8 = 18

>>15631168
"Damn it how far are you?"

rolled 4 = 4

>W W NW
>Ready HE rocket
>fire rocket at enemy [V] to the north

rolled 4, 3, 2 = 9

>Move West 3
>Fire on ghouls to the north.

>>15631129

Weathers and Marks climb to the peak of the building.

"That seemed...easy" Weathers grunted. Marks shrugged his shoulders.

>Move NW, NW, W, to the fully intact part of the middle of the roof

rolled 9 = 9

>>15631129
W, W, W, SW

Snipe one of the A's to the north

>move 3 W down to the flag
>change class to [E]

Command, if those soldier survive the firework permission to order them to surrender.

" What survivors "

[Battle has concluded , zombie kills can be counted after the fact]

>>15631310

THE FACTORY ! WHAT HAVE YOU -

>>15631310
"None it seem, well boys time to clean those ghoul.

rolled 6, 8 = 14

>>15631310
"I love the smell of high explosives in the evening."

"Good job boys You've shown those Voss bastards the only way out of our country is in a body bag, now count your kills and get some grub, no doubt command will have us marching out in the morning."

>>15631310

Weathers is rocked by the explosion, but doesn't lose his footing. He looks to the west, then back to the Factory, then calls down to the courtyard.

"SARGE, DID WE JUST GET DOUBLE-CROSSED BY A VAMPIRE?"

>>15631328
Stilemar has been tainted to the core by the greed and corruption caused by Black Blood. This factory brought it on. And her people didn't deserve the outcome. This is the most I can do for my children.

My peace with this town is made. You can arrest or execute me if you wish. "

>>15631364
"Seems like she had something against the ebonyte research or something..."

Fields barely keeps his glasses from falling off.
"I'm sorry brother, but prescription goggles would be much easier." Fields says to no one in particular.

>>15631354

"I think command's gonna chew someone out for blowin' up that factory, boss."

>I'm counting 2 kills and 1 assist kill.

rolled 3, 6 = 9

>>15631364
"For now your under arrest, I want to hear about this black blood and how it tainted our good country men."

"Sgt. Mana radio command that the Voss destroyed the Factory in the retreat, for now thats what we will go with until i find out what the hell was in that place."

rolled 2 = 2

>>15631385
"Can't execute...no silver."
Wisper seems to smile at the chaos below.
"I'd run"

>counting at least 3 kill and one I'm not sure about
>also I don't know what to get as an upgrade...

Gunther shakes his head sadly.

"So much good machinery gone to waste."

>>15631410
"Understood Lieutenant."
"Command, the voss riged the factory to self-destruct once they started retreating, I repeat the factory is lost."

rolled 9, 10 = 19

>>15631412
"Belay that she is under arrest! Any fucker that disobeys that order is going to have the business end of a shot for dinner!"

>>15631428
>I built 3 structures and I have an assist on at least one ghoul and the dulahan, so i should have about 5+ exp this mission for a total of 8.

>>15631310
>>15631328

Daugherty looks up at the smoke pillar from the burning factory which they were supposed to capture.

". . . ouch"

>Got the finishing shot in on a tank, so 1?

" Th- Thank you ! "
" I can't tell you how relieved I am - please understand - the things they did with Ibonyte processing there was inhuman but I can make it up to you- the designs, the schematics of the factory up to where I escaped - It's all in my head, you see. A perfect memory. So thank you for not giving me more things to grieve on "

>>15631364

"Huh."
Weathers looks to Marks, who shrugs briefly.
"Vamps are weird."

>How much do tank wounds count as? Because last fight, I smoked three guys, and weakened the bridge, and today I wounded the tank, but since there's no wreckage, I didn't take it out.

rolled 3, 1 = 4

>>15631481
"You me and Vamp are going to have a long conversation about the shit that went down in that factory."

"I get the feeling there is alot going on and this war looks less like a land grab and more like Voss whats something specific, something that this country has no business fucking around with."

" Hmph we were here to fight a war, not euthanize our own citizenry. The Voss is still a threat and we still need to scrape together any and all advantages we can. Helena, since you hold so tightly to your status as a citizen I'll have you fight as all these men who died did for this place, make no question "

" ODERKONN, as an accomplice you are to ensure that our regular troop is briefed and equipped on Armored fighting as soon as humanly possible !"

Command I'll take that thing that let me give my health bonus to my subordinate if I correctly understood how it worked, if I didn't I'll take an extra squad member.

>>15631542
"Eh welcome aboard the shit hole that is a battlefield Helena."

Experience
Participating in this battle: +1exp

Those who died: +4exp lead for next char

MISSION FINISH +4EXP

Seriously guys ; good game : )

>>15631585

Wait, so does that mean I can count +4 from Rogers towards Vanderbuss?

rolled 4, 10 = 14

>>15631542
" Alright boys while Oderkonn and me have a nice little chat I need some brave ass volunteers to go on a recon mission."
"You mission should you choose to accept it is to find some God damn booze in this piece of shit town. Should you fail all we will have to drink is fucking water now who will answer the call!"

>>15631554

SGT. Those Named in your [Squad] can now enjoy an extra health boost. [You can only have 2 units under you]

>>15631585
>bonus xp puts me 3xp from my third upgrade

>looks like everyone who were present at Norwood, made at least 1 kill between that and this mission, and survived, gets an upgrade

>>15631619
" Well ... I did tell you I wasn't going to bomb this bar to the north... "

u _u

>>15631620
Well it seem like some of you will get extra survivability next mission, any idea when it will be command?

>>15631600

>3 from kills, 4 from mission end, +1 bonus, so I'm at 8, 12 if I get that 4 from Rogers.

So does this mean I can get an upgrade? Can I get like extended mags for my weapons? Or do I have to pick one?

Fields is at 7 XP then.

rolled 5, 4 = 9

>>15631643
"SGT.Mana inform command i am setting up a temporary HQ."

>>15631643
"I'd offer you a drink... *cough*ifyoupromisetonottaketoomuch*cough*"

So bonus XP will put my exp at 13.

I'll take my first upgrade as extra health.

>>15631671
"Command if you're looking to contact Iceval he'll be setting a HQ in that bar."

>3 from kills, 1 from Battle, 4 from Mission
>8 XP!

>>15631621

Hum... I see you warriors are developing rather nicely. Let me tell you something about the Valknyre people of this region. We are of a warrior kin whose deep respect for the passing and going of life and death has allowed you to call onto wordless spirits to aid your path to ascension.

To speak in spirits for a moment,
For Vanguards such as yourself who accumulate 20 experience can gain an aspect. It's a weapon far sharper than any sword made.

don't know how kills are counted but i got
>At least one tank, two if bombing run death couts
>three As
>One S
>played through two missions so 8 right there.

...for that matter i dont know what the exp is used for

>>15632324

you have several options really

>you can add another man to your squad

>add 1 point to your health

>increase your weapon rating

>add one movement point*

>increase mag capacity*

*wasn't explicitly mentioned but was available during the zerospace SQ

the only thing not allowed is to add another action point

>>15632324

oh yeah

exp is used for getting upgrades

types of upgrades are listed in >>15632424

you get 1 upgrade for 10 exp

>>15632424

Actually IC was considering allowing action points to be upgradable, not sure if he ever made up his mind about that, you'd have to ask him.

>>15632451

every 10 xp? that sounds a little too easy

don't you think its better to scale up the xp requirement as players get more upgrades?

>>15635526

Getting 10 kills in a battle is a feat onto itself -
Surviving the soon to increase difficulty curve moreso.

Since it is Debriefing you should probably cash in on your upgrades, improve them to squad level or gain an aspect [20exp]

[I would have to approve and process them etc]

>>15635692
Wait thing will become more difficult? I should have went for more survivability then... oh well who cares I'll simply be less aggressive then.

About that aspect what does it do?

>>15635733

To work off of recorded examples here, Ragnyllian Scouts have had the tendency to evolve their own special talents on the field unrecorded by medical science but observed through combat experience.

These known classifications have even earned them nicknames that will stay with them on or off their scout roles and those codes are:

[Serpent] Have a talent to stealthily slip past enemies undetected allowing them to gain more in depth oppurtunity to sabotage them. Their proficiency for close combat also increases.

[Fox] Can detect enemies even behind fog and cover, and have a greater talent for radio interception, at times even allowing them to "order" enemy units at the cost of compromising their radio presence. Foxes also have increased speed.

[Hawk] Have keen vision and accuracy allowing them to shoot farther, sharper and faster. They can also see invisible units !

>>15635837
Aspects require 20 exp.
And once an aspect is learned it sticks with this character permanently and across each class they play as.

>>15635872
I see, what aspect are there for the Vanguard? Do I automaticaly get the aspect at 20xp or do I need to pass 2 "upgrade" to get it?

>>15635918

You save up for it or purchase more upgrades. Aspects are a greater risk to attain when upgrades are easily available and stackable therefore they are more powerful.

>>15635918
We're going over Vanguard aspects as I honestly have no idea what animals to base them off of.

Assault troops get canines for example. Wolf, Hound, and Coyote

>>15636134
Random suggestion time then,
[Armadillo] Small damage reduction (.5) can use one shield action for free per phase.
[Porcupine] Get one free attack in melee when attacked.
[Bull] Every member of the squad can perform one attack after a double move.

>>15636174

Bull stands out and throws off the balance here.

The reasoning is that they all either have to be Different; commonalized by another theme or all the same in another category; example all bugs or all different species that are stealthy etc.

Vanguard suggestions that came up were
Crocodile /reptile
Cobra /reptile
Turtle /reptile

Mongoose / mammal
Swordfish /fish
Turtle / reptile

Lion
Panther
Cheetah

Dragon [???]
Eagle
Lion

Eagle
Raven
Owl

>>15636293
hmmm I see... well I'll wait to find out what you come up with (if I don't die before getting 13xp) otherwise I'll probably get some of the others aspect. [Serpent] for example could look mighty interesting. What are the rules on sneaking?

>>15636380
moving while prone and stopping in cover at all times. those with stealth aspects disappear when this happens.

more apparent in fog of war.
