    Take a moment to review this map. And make strategic judgements before the game starts. If there are key players you wish to control set up a command dossier.

    The game will start with an action phase.

    True, Gunther should probably kill that duallahan near that wounded soldier on turn one, then target that mage or wizard.

    I am in the middle of "about to eat" this part is really important. Can someone do a clean up dossier ?

    I dont know which units to erase from the board.
    But I guess they'll stand around and not be a detriment to anyone. Also you can probably command them 8D

    Yeah, Gunther would sure he helpful, I was thinking he'd take out that group of enemies south of him.

    Our primary objective should be either securing, or neutralizing the second airship. If we could get a smoke grenade to lure it out like the first airship, then have a caster put the whammy on it, we'd be golden.

    Ok, can someone lay out for a simple man with a simple weapon what a "command dossier" is, and how it works?

    Would I list people "under my command", with simple sets of orders?

    Here goes,
    Gunther [Bt1] attack the Duallhan then the phase after move into postion to attack the voss on the roof

    Vipera [S2] shoot down the scout on the roof then hide in the bushes.

    Daughterty [M2] Should attack the marauder if possible then put a flag if I fail to kill to kill the marauder encircling me

    [Hr1] Should kill that duallahan next to him

    [V1] Will try to kill the surrounding marauder and plant a flag if she succeed.

    Is the terrain of the downed airship even considered clear? I wouldn't think it would be terribly practical moving through a flaming and frozen wreck. Plus, M1 needs to take out those damned roof campers, as I'm fresh out of 'nades. If of course, the Lt. wants to. I'm kinda pinned down in that little blue building right now.

    I was fully planning on killing the Dullahan, sir.

    So, if I'm not mistaken:

    A2 (Pietrowski) grenade enemy scout within...whatever the center part is called.

    S3 (VanVinkle) Fire on Dullahan, to ensure destruction.

    That one guy near the central wall is a duallahan, I'm talking about the ones north of you. (note that if you want to take out the duallahan I won't mind)

    Van vinkle is better killing people on the roof, duallahan are near imune to bullet.

    Good to know.

    S3 (Van Vinkle) fire on...are the guys with two stripes something we want dead? Or are they those Meister fellas I heard about in the briefing? If they are something to kill, shoot them, if not...finish off wounded enemy scout.

    Corpse Duty wasn't a fun one, but it was one Marks was suited for. A big man, he was able to lift the bodies on his own, laying them out, what ones he could, for the Lt's approval.

    The last one was the hardest. Jamie Michelson, fresh to the war, his latest partner. Marks had watched his friend Weathers charge into battle, roaring as he died. And he'd had to watch this kid get ripped apart his second battle. He sighed, sadly. This campaign was costing so many good men.

    His gaze drifted over to the group surrounding the wounded Sgt Mana, and he hoped it wouldn't cost another one today.

    Beams of moonlight struck Solstice when her people had rejoice at their own initiative. Silent were the avenues where the war took its toll and where houses lay crumbled under heaps. It was in one of these ruins where Helena's jaw trembled at the slick taste of blood. Namely of a defecting Elementalist.

    In a span of only 22 seconds, the body with the torn wrist slides up like a puppet with glazed moonlit eyes. " Your command, Lady ? "

    Helena seats herself on a surviving armchair with the crescent moon at her back. " The ibonyte crystal," she begins " What would you have done with it ? " Taking a nail file she scrapes perpetually at her unchanging manicure. Even nails regenerated.

    " The Iron Heart ? " The ghoul starts up, voice hoarse with something inhuman, " My lady, that old thing, along with this city was the humans of valknyre's last chance at peace. The geass, should it have taken effect would have united the hearts and minds of the Valknyre as one will, one arm, one spirit."

    " A weightless spear to pierce the black sky, an unbreakable armor forged by ancients, and an ironheart moved by all. Legend of the proud Valknyre people who once fought the greatest enemy man faced. Are you to say that Voss intends to take back Ragnyll for themselves ? To use as a warmachine ?"

    A gust of wind. And all the walls around the ruin's wreckage is lined with red.
    A red stripe forms a ring around the ghoul's neck before disappearing completely. The head falls, hitting the floor like a dusty cabbage and the body follows soon after.

    " Things are bad on this end too " Dr. Mabel explains.
    " The magi instructors are placed under a deep geass, if what you say is true- then they have been submitted to sleep in a deep coma indefinitely. " Rows of laboratory tubes alien to Ragnyllian sciences are splayed in a row, submerged in the liquid were the teachers.
    " They were drafted to power the geass that was to happen and this kind of stuff doesn't occur easily with unwilling people. The time it took for them to resist was just long enough for you to come here and stop it. I can't tell you how thankful I am helpless as I was in my old home I couldn't do a thing against the Voss .. . On another note, theres a giant reserve of Ibonyte sitting on this school. It's too dangerous to keep and too valuable to leave alone. If you would like, I could use it to see if I can bring around the teachers. It would take quite a bit of time to design the necessary array for it. And it would be the least I can do for my former students," the old woman explains.

    But the question that has been baffling us since this war had started was, why ? Why had our brothers turned on us so instantly and so ruthlessly ? I cannot tell you the full answer but we do know what they were about to do. They were about to use the Helena river, and the array that this city offered to create a lone spark in the hearts and minds of everyone in valknyre that said simply; " Follow us "
    " Follow us " Said the vosskoni shocktrooper, " Follow us" says their tyrranical masters, FOLLOW US says the Geass that would have robbed the hearts and minds of our people! We have averted that today now with the bitter taste in our mouths that our brothers would not just stop at these unforgivable acts- but FORCE us ALL DOWN into FOLLOWING and FORGETTING their every sin ! AND FOR WHAT ? For what ? So that we can be united as one people ? So that we can look strong to a future where the valknyres are united again ? Is it really worth all that ?

    Very Well, Captain, we will make the necessary arrangements to widen your dossier. With more manpower behind you , the punches we make against the Voss will be felt and harder to quell.

    > Platoon Squads
    Units can now have platoon strength troops comprising of up to 3 combined units and no more than 2 types. Example; a Platoon with Vanguards and Assaut will be [VAV1] , [AAV2] [VAA3] or [AVV4]. Upgrades will be communicable across all members of your unit.

    Platoons cannot break unit cohesion and cannot be spaced more than 1 hex apart. Unless given the order to " Post " in which the unit will remain stationary until called. In which case they will make it to your Platoon at their best possible speed and only that.

    At the end of each action Platoons must take special care in how they are formationed. Box, Circle, Arrow, Line, and Wall formations are among the most basic formations. With sub variations in scatter. 2scatter means no more than 2 members occupy a space. 1scatter means the unit is fanned out as best as possible. Also take into account which units will favor the front, and which will bring up the rear, this is important in determining attack patterns as the front will typically attack first with rear on clean up.

    Attack Pattern:
    Designate attack patterns in chunks of Front, Rear, Leftern or Rightern in combination with unit type to make processing easier. With 3 squads under your unit, micro ordering by single units will not get processed.

    Movement: The platoon will move only as fast as its slowest Unit. However, faster Units can extend to the front of elongated formations.

    ! Beware Explosions !
    And other AOE capable units like Enemy Armor, Ms Casters, and easily identifiable traps.

    As a final caveat to having strengthened infantry, we've allowed a few more unit types to join the roster. Any preference in roles, Captain ?

    Might be better to wait on an aspect until you're sure you wont be swiss'd by some random grunt, what with Casters only having 1 hp by default. Similarly, if you bought another mook, one could focus on defense and one offense, but that assumes command allows Casters to buy mooks.

    Commander, do all the rules that were established for SQ transfer over to their respective units?

    eg. all those special named maneuvers that [K]s could do?

    >And were there rules for Knights charging? I don't remember.

    Also, how would you feel if we developed a certain naming convention for maneuvers to save time? As in, take a [V], for example. Instead of writing:

    >Form into a vertical N/S column
    >Shield West
    >Overwatch West

    We could simply write
    >PHALANX West

    Granted, this one is a bit simplistic, but I was thinking of developing this naming convention to use with some of the more commonly used or complex maneuvers to save time. Of course, this would be particularly useful for actions that involve changing one's unit formation (lines, spreading out across hexes, etc.).

    Does anybody think that this is something that we should work on, especially with the advent of Platoon Command?

    >V scatter 1 to all hexes adjacent to M.
    >V shield away from M.

    This creates a defensive position for the M(or H, or S) unit to fire on the enemy, given his 360 degree protection from the Vanguard.

    I wonder, if you have an aspect, does it transfer to those in your platoon, or just the unit you command personally? Like if the M in your equation had Scarab, would his ring of protectors not have to worry about grenades?

    I considered the same question, as well as how XP is distributed.

    The easiest answer, for command, is that each unit acquires Xp at its own rate, with the player keeping track of all three units.

    On the other hand, the units aren't independent, given their inability to divide from the others, so some form of sharing makes sense. IN my aforementioned Bomb in a Box example, it's not had to imagine that the M gets the lion's share of the kills. But if he strengthens while his guardians do not, eventually their defense will mean little.

    On another hand, a three S platoon, or any long ranged weapon guy and two scouts promises to be interesting, assuming the Spot ability of the S's carries over.

    I never quite understood what the Spot ability did.

    iirc it gives alled units +1 to rating to hit what they're spotting per scout spotting it.

    I've always assumed the +1 is to hit.

    So the scout spends an action measuring the distance, checking wind speed, etc, and gets a +1 to hit the target.

    So a three scout platoon could potentially Spot, spot, and fire, raising their 7 to-hit to a 9.

    Which raises the question: if the scout firing/the platoon has the Hawk Aspect, which gives an additional +1 to accuracy, does that mean a 3 Scout Platoon could potentially never miss when firing within their range? Or are 10's always failures?

    That would be really really useful, if of course we had a quicker way to co-ordinate tactics..Maybe we could set up an IRC room and have that be the "radio", so we can discuss tactics during the enemy phase and such?

    Tens are always Failures. However when units get their hit over 9 those benefits can go into ignoring penalties like Range , Cover, and called shots. There is no ceiling for how many +s a unit gets and past +6 I tend to just give it to you unless it happens to look extra impossible.

    Rolling a 1 with this many benefits will pretty much critically destroy 1 or 2 units.

    >>15795222

    Also nothing is stopping you from discussing tactics here. It takes me more than 14 minutes to process a turn.

    Also: Yes
    Normally if you go through the effort of even citing them by name I will let you get away with the bonuses applied to that rule. If i find a rule unacceptable from days of yore I will likely let you suffer it once before telling you that'snolongeralloweddontdoit.

    PILOT CLASSES !
    Attach to vehichle and get +1 to all hit rolls
    they also have an auto escape maneuver to evade fiery death.

    Adding more pilots to a single vehichle allows for more operations.

    They also halve the roster count for armor that usually take up 2 spaces.

    So what happens if you're already driving a vehicle? Are you automatically changed to pilot class or do you have to voluntarily do so, and does that reset upgrades?

    Isara's currently got +2hp and +1 cannon accuracy on her. I have enough exp for another upgrade, but I haven't spent it yet.

    Those upgrades i think apply to the tank then so there is nothing to worry, though check with command.

    If anything going pilot will increase your proficiency with Isara.

    Is the +2 from Mana's command ? If so it might not count for armor.

    Other than that I remember the +1 to cannon.

    Normally units drive a vehichle as their normal class. Bitanks are considered equipment accessible to anyone.

    The extra hp are from actual upgrades. Unless getting my tank blown up erases upgrades on the tank. Then in that case it would be +1 hp.

    Fluff as ablative plating, the cannons have also been given an elongated barrel to aim with. If Isara gets destroyed , the upgrades will be reset.

    Well then that puts her upgrades at +1 hp and +1 cannon accuracy. Plus I might as well swap to Pilot class (as if I wasn't a de facto pilot anyways).

    I still have 17 exp so I'm going to spend my next upgrade on an extra crewman.

    Bitank can now perform more operations [2]
