my body is ready

The fourth company sent three Chimeras to support you. The enemy PDF has been identified as Traitor and not from this world. The Chimeras flanked right, as soon as they did, one of them exploded. A Lieutenant screams over the vox, "They have Krak missiles what do we do."

From your current position, you can't really tell what's going on, a few buidlings are blocking your view. The battle seems to be in your favor, and the Chimeras have bolstered your men's chances of surviving.

>Roll d100s, sorry for the delay, duplicated file.

Move to a spot where you can see what the heck is going on!

>>16485615
Use dice buddy,

Oh hai OP.

Rolling for stripped chimera decoy tactics.

Consider painting them red to make them go faster.

rolled 2 = 2

>>16485632

>>16485601

Hmmm... Well considering those chimeras our are only ride out of here I order them to find cover and bunker down while I move 3rd company up to support them and hopefully push the traitors back

>>16485646

The chimeras are on loan from another company, they aren't technically ours.

>>16485646
Wilhelm you might as well scream because there is only your company and these two chimeras. Those are your only forces currently.

I'm thinking of renaming the Krieger Commander quest, anyone what the name changed?

>>16485633

To extrapolate on my plan - the chimeras will circle the town stripped of any extraneous munitions or supplies, drawing the enemy fire with their multi-lasers.

Once the enemy bites and starts firing heavy weapons at them, we send in the infantry elements.

>>16485692
>>16485633
>They have heavy bolters, but It still works.

The Chimeras encircle the town. The enemy in either a blood rage or a moment of pure stupidy charge the Chimeras. They climb over them and try to pull the hatches off. One of the PDF traitors explodes because he held his grenade to long.

The infantry easily picks off the traitors. The enemy retreats, heading to the north, towards the mountains. Lieutenant Reiter asks you, "What shall we do now Captain."

>>16485723

Where would they be retreating to?

Hmm, maybe someone should roll for a scout detail to follow them at distance.

>>16485736
Maybe that someone should be you!

Man, I expected more activity. Oh well, I'll just keep the thread going till more people get interested.

Come on guys, this thread was getting piles of interest last night and 4chan was barely even working.

rolled 6 = 6

>>16485783

Is that lieutenant reiter fellow still about?

Ask him for a report on the infantry elements, whether or not we've taken any casualties, what armaments our troops have, etc.

Rolling for meltas.

rolled 42 = 42

>>16485723
Alright! Send one of the chimeras after them to keep contact, the rest shall be resupplied and boarded by the men.
Then we shall hunt them down.

>>16485813
The Chimera's engine roars as it moves towards the north after the traitors. There couldn't be more than twenty of them left, while you have at least double that. Causiltes are light thank the Emperor, mostly wounded, and only two are dead.

Then you see two puffs of black smoke from the mountains, and you see the second chimera that was going after the heretics take artillery fire.

rolled 82 = 82

>>16485844

Get the vox officer to pull the chimeras back.

Also prepare a report for the bigwigs back at command.

rolled 9 = 9

>>16485844
Artillery!?
Retreat immediately!
These traitors are not worth to waste our supplies on them like this.
Extrapolate the coordinates of this artillery and order counter artillery!
Report to high command!

>>16485866
>Chimera, singular

The chimera immediately turns around and heads back to your position. The second company is gathered and ready to move out. You begin to write up a after-action report.

The vox-caster then hands you a the vox comm and says, "It's the Colonel."

rolled 73 = 73

> the colonel.

"Reporting in that the enemy PDF elements have been routed sir. We sent a light detachment after them to see if we could tail them back to their hideout but we came under heavy artillery fire." Rollfaec reports, a thought still niggling at his mind from how quickly the operation went from a simple shake n' bake to a shootout at the OK corral.

"Sir, the intel we received on the rebels seems to have been a lure to draw us into a trap. It's a miracle we weren't caught in the middle of searching the houses.".

Await a response.

>>16485970
Mistyped verify, give me a min.

>>16485970
The Colonel sounds angry, "Captain! I'm getting reports of Traitor Guard and PDF all across your region. The fourth company isn't responding, so that means your company and whatever the fourth sent to you before we lost contact is all the forces we have in that region. I need you to link up with the fourth at their last known position. It's a old mining depot, we heard that rebels might be taking blasting supplies from the place."

rolled 61 = 61

>>16486019

"Understood Colonel, moving to position to cover 4th company."

Thank the vox officer and ask him where you can find the man in charge of logistics - we need some sort of layout of the general area before we proceed.

The last thing we want is to walk into the middle of a minefield or an artillery killzone.

>>16486019
"Sir, yes Sir!
Also what long-range artillery can we get firing at [coordinates of enemy artillery]?
There was enemy artillery firing at us just a moment ago. Requesting an answering salvo."

We should get onto the chimeras whatever we can and head out immediately, whomever we cannot take with us will have to come after us on foot.

rolled 17 = 17

>>16486059
Forgot dice.

>>16486059

I don't think we have any artillery of our own unfortunately.

4th company probably will, assuming they're not all dead or cultist-chow.

>>16486040
The vox officer nods, he then grabs a very scrawny looking Krieger. The Krieger salutes you and hands you a map. On the map, you see your position. Twenty miles west, is the mining depot. It's flat countryside that stands between you and the depot. To the far north there is mountains, the mountains are 80 miles away.

Surrounding the depot is a mine, of course, and a large construct that seems to be a either a warehouse or a vehicle garage.

>>16486088
The fourth is mechanized infantry. Fifth company is the arty company. They are stationed at the Capitol of this backwater world.

>>16486089

Which direction did we come from again?

Just so i have some idea of where my blind-spot is.

>>16486126
The south. Further south is the regimental base, in the Capitol. It's a small planet, population wise. This region is in the Northern Continent

There are three continents on this world. The Northern, the Central, and the Southern. The Rogue trader who found this place didn't have much imagination.

rolled 31 = 31

>>16486146
Is there a way to come at them over flat land so we will not be ambushed from the pits?

>>16486213
No there isn't. They can attack you from the mine from all directions. Reiter asks you impatiently, "Sir the fourth could be dying for all we know, we have to move!"

rolled 56 = 56

>>16486146

K.

Get the men in marching formation, but before we set out select a detachment of men made up of 1/10th our fighting strength to roam ahead checking for mines and enemy fortifications.

> 20 miles.

I assume it will take roughly quarter of the day to reach the mines on foot, it would be worth knowing what the conditions will be like when we get there - night or day, weather patterns, etc.

Load up the chimeras with the wounded (4th company has probably set up a field-triage center where we're going), allow the men to offer condolences to the two troopers who died, but we're leaving the bodies behind.

Move out.

>>16486239
Lieutenant Grotter yells out to the men, "Company! March!" And with that the your men march forward. Second squad of third platoon volunteers to march forward ahead of the group.

The sun is in the middle of the sky, so by the time you reach the mine it should be setting. The sky is clear, only one or two small clouds float above you.

rolled 57 = 57

>>16486239
Should we not have a chimera with the scouts drive ahead so we will not waste time?

rolled 98 = 98

>>16486278

Not a bad idea actually, if the scouts come under attack we can use the chimera to pull them back rapidly.

>>16486265

Send the chimera that isn't being used as a makeshift ambulence ahead to meet up with the scouts.

In the meantime, while we're marching, maybe we should survey those troop elements again - what kind of experience in battle we have, whether or not we could stand up to a daemonic incursion without shitting our pants, etc.

Continue according the original marching order, as the day wears on and we near the site we'll stop about... oooh, two miles from the outlying extremities of the mines.

Seeing as command can't reach 4th company on their vox, as we get nearer i want the vox officer to try periodically to reach them on the short-wave - even if their command structure is down that doesn't mean that there won't be survivors.

Assuming that there are no survivors, and no surprises along the way, ready the second squad from first platoon for scouting the outlying areas of the mines for signs of the enemy.

The rest of our forces will ready themselves for an all-out assault.

>>16486433
The Second Squad of Third Platoon voxs you from the Chimera, "Sir it seems that the Fourth is engaged. I don't know who they are but they have red clothes and black flak armor."

You are able to vox one of the Sergeants, "This Sergeant Louis, I am pleased to see you sir. We are under attack by heretics, any aid would be appreciated."

rolled 54 = 54

>>16486482

"Be advised, Sergeant, enemy elements are made up of rebel PDF elements, they likely have heavy weapons. What is your position?" Rollfaec asks, tactfully declining to mention how long it will take to get there or the direction he'd be sending men from.

>>16486548
The soldiers say that if we can over from the garage they woudn't know we would be there till it was to late. Currently it seems the Traitors are completely oblivious of your presence.

The Sergeant from the fourth Company yells at you using the vox, "Dammit, where are you. My Captain is down and I'm to my last lasclip."

Leave second platoon behind to cover our backs, move down with the chimera covering our advance with the multi-las.

Shoot everything wearing red.

Scouts are to open up into the enemies flank and enable the Fourth to retreat into the structure.
We will back them up soon.
If they are themselves forced back, they shall come back to lure the enemy out of their positions so we can mow them down with the chimeras.

>>16486699
The remaining stragglers from the Fourth have time to run quickly into the vechicle garage as Third Platoon's Second Squad opens fire. The Chimera lays waste to many of the PDF forces with it's HEAVY BOLTER TURRET.

The Sergeant from the fourth says, "To all remaining forces of the fourth, who is in command."

A vox caster from the fourth replies to his sergeant, "I think you are sir."

"What do you mean, I am!"

>P.S. The Fourth's officers are dead, Cap'ins mortally wounded.

Before they have trimmed their heavy guns at us, they are likely dead already, anything else doesn't matter.

>>16486902
"Sergeant Louis sir, like I said."

With thunderous might and a powerful roar the Chimera rolls out to flank left. The heretics are caught completely by surprise. Then one of the heretics produces are krak missile launcher. He aims it and prepares to fire. It fires out of the launcher and it heads straight for you.

>Roll to evade. Basiclly, Low Roll, it hits you, Medium, Slight Damage, High Roll, miss it completely. Pray to the dice gods.

>>16486987
The Chimera dodges right, attempting to avade the missile. By the Emperor, it misses completely. The gunner then mutters under his breath, "My turn." He lays down a volley of bolt rounds, reducing the traitor who fired the missile and everyone one around him into red chunks.

You hear a woman's voice scream over the vox, "This is Captain Avis, Rollfaec, get your ass over here and help my men. Half my company is wounded. While your at it what's the word from command."

Leave the gunner to finish mopping up the remnant troopers, and request logistical data from this "Avis" woman. Inform her that the planetary defence force and traitor elements have launched major offensives along the western region of the central continent.

Inform her that you will be taking command of her forces until the situation becomes stable.

With the traitors dead, your chimera begins to head towards this garage complex. While heading there you talk with "Avis" on the vox. "Traitors huh? I don't care what were fighting, this is my company *blood gargle* and I will." She stops talking and you hear her cough up blood. By this time you've arrived at the garage. You see a few civilian crawlers but also four other Chimeras.

The Captain seems to have taken to lasbolts and three auto rounds. The medicae is tending to her wounds. Reiter says to you in the Chimera, "The Captain needs to get to a field hospital soon sir."

Looking at the wounded captain with deep disapproval, Captain Rollfaec shakes his head in contempt.

"Captain Avis, you are in no fit state for command. As a commanding officer of equal rank your troops and their vehicles will best serve under me. The best i can do for you now is to put you in a chimera and send you back to HQ. You can take it up with the Colonel if you want, but this company is now under MY authority and i will do with them what it is MY duty to do. Are we Clear?" He commands the woman, making the appropriate thumb-gestures towards himself emphatically.

Captian Avis, you shall resume command as soon as possible, until then, I will regard them as my own.

>>16487157
As two medicaes attempt to carry Captain Avis to a Chimera she tries to fight them. "I am Captain of this Company!" She says, "I will not leave until I am dead or rel-" Sergeant Louis hits her over the head with his entrenching tool.

He says, "The Captain is very devote sir, but, she can be a little to zealous at times. Fourth Company is under your control sir, what would you have of us."

Rollfaec smirks in self-gratified amusement for a moment as he sadistically asserts his authority, then he turns to the trooper.

"First thing we should do is interface our command elements. I want a complete report on the surviving personel of 4th company within the hour. And where the hell is the vehicle pool, man?" he captain demands.

It seems these heretics are attacking border towns and outposts, nothing the first can't handle, Major out."

The men do what Kriegers do best, dig trenches. They begin to set up emplacements as well. The generators inside the garage should keep the flood lights outside on. You see flashes of light outside, you just know it's going to be a long night.

Pfft, that sounds like an accident waiting to happen.

I'm half tempted to seal the entrance with explosives, who knows whether or not the mines come out somewhere else we don't know about.

We should at least try and find some sort of maps or a miner's log in the adept's quarters nearby.

Ave and Alpha have Autocannons. Third squad of First Platoon has a heavy stubber. Every squad has one man holding a flamer.

Our best gunner is moved from the command Chimera to Ave, to lend experience to the crew.

"Give me five minutes, tell her i'm busy" he mouthed to the man silently, hopeful that would calm the crazy bitch down long enough for him to contact command and ask for orders.

Which is what i'm rolling for now.

rolled 42 = 42

>>16487910
This. Forget Avis' gender, and address her as a man. Sound disappointed on remembering her actual gender.
Possibly make a remark about her unsuitability to command.

>>16487919

> rolled 7.

Oh god. Suicide mission roll.

rolled 50 = 50

>>16487930
Onward to a glorious death!

>>16487949
...and it all comes to a very boring end.

>>16487949

What i'm thinking is that if we can get additional commands we can basically stonewall the captain or at least put her under our temporary command.

Which i'm sure would infuriate the living shit out of her.

>>16487924
Avis as anyone one could expect, does not sound happy. "Listen you!" she shouts, "I am more than comptetent, the men under my command have put there faith in me. So has the Colonel. I was going to ask for your forgiveness and give you my blessing in leading my men, but you can forget it you swine!" She cuts off her transmission with you. The vox caster stares at you blankly.

The vox caster says in a very emotionless voice, "You want me to vox command now."

>>16487963
Hullo? DEATH Corpse!
Suicide missions are a given.
As long as the protagonist survives, the soldiers can fall like flies for all I care.
That is what they are made for. Their purpose in life is not achieved by living to the next day but giving their life for the Imperium.

>>16487996

> so has the colonel.

Oh derp.

Yes, vox command, inform the colonel you've just been woken up by a very unpleasant message from the captain.

>>16488001

On the other hand if you can keep your men alive and throw them into an even bigger battle where their deaths will be even more MAGNIFICIENT, that's probably a decent tradeoff.

Roll my friend Crom, roll. No exceptions.

rolled 23 = 23

>>16488008
Rather let that be the second thing we tell him.
Good news and routine status updates take priority over personal quabble.
First the status, then the orders, then getting Avis away from the com-lines while she has no say in this and maybe even after that.

rolled 51 = 51

>>16488046

> rolling for rapport with colonel in dealing with Avis.

>>16488058
Colonel Regen answers your vox, "Ah yes, Captain Avis. She is, she is the biggest pain in my ass in this whole regiment. If you have any suggestions about what to do with her be my guest. She has been constantly ordering the Medicae's to release her sense your vox communication."

>>16488103
*since

rolled 85 = 85

>>16488103
Just, just sedate her. I would suggest horse tranquilizers.
Anyway, the night was quiet as can be, we are awaiting command for the day, Sir.

rolled 57 = 57

>>16488103
Give the Colonel our sit-rep, then ask for further orders

rolled 62 = 62

>>16488103

Rollfaec smiles in bemusement, and motions for the vox operator to keep this to himself.

"With respect sir, i think the only reason she's lasted this long is because she's been giving her men an easy time of it. That kind of attitude has no place on a battlefield, i'm sure you'll agree." Rollfaec says to the colonel, suppressing a self-satisfied grin from appearing on his face, he continues; "I do have an idea on what we could do with her though. If she wants to be back with her company so much then i think we should let her come back. As my personal aide. I can even try and teach her a few things if you like, sir.".

"As for my current status, we've lasted the night without incident. We will be awaiting further orders upon your due deliberation on the matter of what to do with the Captain.".

>>16488147
You know what, this is to great. I'm going with this. Give me a few mins big post coming up.

>>16488158

Sometimes i just find it easy to writefag my responses.

Meh.

>>16488147

But... but... horse tranquilisers D:

>>16488147
>>16488158
>>16488196
Sometimes I'm a little disappointed in you, Anon.

>>16488196

Heh. Why not?

We could make it sound like she was going to get court-martialled if it wasn't for the brave and egalitarian actions of the wise Captain Rollfaec.

I AM somewhat curious to see how far i could push this.

>>16488226
Don't forget to roll, Crom!

>>16488147
The vox caster nods silently. The Colonel lets out small chuckle, "I like that plan. We might be able to salvage a officer worthy of the title Captain of the Death Korps just yet. I will send her back in the Chimera she came in on. Also, be warned Captain, the enemy seems to aiming for officers. We've lost almost all our Lieutenants, and Captain Avis and you are amongst the last of our officers."

And with the that, the Colonel cuts off the vox transmission. A hour later The Chimera Delta returns, with a very angry Captain. She salutes you with parade ground efficiency. "I have been ordered by Colonel Regen," she takes a moment to let this sink in, "To be under your direct command, I am subordinate until further notice. But also I bear orders. The enemy seems to have tapped into our vox channels, so these orders had to be delivered in person. We are to move towards the mountains, it seems the enemy forces have a large base there."

>>16488236

One thing at a time, dear anon.

Evil doesn't get committed overnight after all.

> mfw our character ends up becoming the embodiment of everything that's wrong with the imperial guard.

>>16488251

Dear god. What did I just do. It's bare btw.

>>16488251

The mountains?

But that's where we started getting shot at by enemy artillery.

Erm...

rolled 98 = 98

>>16488251
Strip the recently-returned Chimera (a Fresh unit, if I recall) of any non-essentials, including munitions, leaving only armour (and not really necessary on the rear, at that).
Fill with as many explosives from the mine area as possible, along with any others at our disposal.
Advance on the enemy base, and while the majority of our forces make an assault on their left flank, have Avis break formation in the stripped chimera and assault their fortification head on, detonating at the gates and tearing a hole in the gates while the main force peels of to regroup for a second frontal attack on the base while the enemy are still scattered.
Avis may be a poor officer, but her death in the service of the emperor will be a glorious one.

While we're in this position consolidating, it's about now your platoon sergeants and CSM would be redistributing rations, water, ammo.

How are the vehicles for fuel, ammo, was any damage sustained?

We came out on a simple patrol to find a weapons cache and now we're out overnight. Are we likely to have to be resupplied by air? Does regiment or higher have the resources for that?

>>16488251
We should send out a scouting party, made up of either a single or two squads. Have them advance slowly, and carefully, towards the mountains, to see if any enemy reconnaissance platforms can be found. If their are none, we should be relatively safe from artillery. If spotted, they should take note of the outposts strengths and report back to us, personally. Regardless of what they find, the vox should only be used if they come under heavy fire. We need to keep the enemy unaware of our plans.

In the mean time, is there any way we could call in some sort of fire support or reconnaissance by air?

>>16488307

> rolled 98.

Pffft lol.

I guess Avis is dead meat then - and i had so many fun things planned for her.

Heh.

>>16488307
>98

Well, so much for Avis being a character.

rolled 48 = 48

>>16488251
One question first:
How many wounded are still here?

Otherwise, mount up, we need to rush underneath the artillery courtain. Infantry is too vulerable out in the open. If the arty fires, we have about found it.
As soon as the tanks and the men inside have silenced this artillery, the remaining soldiers are to come in behind us.

>>16488330
Sorry, but this is the way I'd play it. Always been a bit of a fan of Chekov style tactics, they just make the Guard so damned fun to play. Plus I hate arrogance in the upper ranks.

>>16488325

Don't forget to roll for success bro.

rolled 30 = 30

>>16488351
Ok, here ya go.
Rolling for success.

>>16488325
Yeah. I tried to rectify it immediately afterwards, but flood detection shits. Oh well.

>>16488349

Not a problem.

I'd of probably just got sidetracked making devious and ever-more diabolically challenging tasks for her until she broke and then turned her into a mere plaything.

rolled 66 = 66

>>16488361
Well, shit.
Dammit Chekov, this is all your fault.

>>16488332
This cannot be seriously considered an option.
Aside from Avis flat out refusing and the colonel surely disapproving of wasting a tank like that.

>>16488307
Avis is stunned, "You want me, to get in a Chimera, filled with explosives, and charge the enemy artillery position, head on. Your out of your mind!"

After a few minutes, she decides to rethink her statement. "The Colonel put his trust in you, so shall I. I will do as you ask."

It will take about half an hour to strip the Chimera down and fill it up with explosives. Anything you want to do or just wait for the Chimera to be filled.

>Please let someone tell Avis not to Sacrifice herself. I got shit planned.

rolled 94 = 94

>>16488383

The dice gods say it must happen regardless.

Maybe we could work it out so that to the 4th company it looks like she's become suicidal or something.

> rolling for exactly that.

>>16488387
Ok, fair enough, don't wanna screw your plans, but I still want to see the chimera-bomb go ahead, I think this could work. Send the long suffering vox operator? We trust him to get the job done.

>>16488383
It's a 98, and this is quest thread.

Unless someone does something like saying, "I was joking," or "I don't know what I was thinking." Before it happens, then that bitch is dead.

rolled 83 = 83

Lol, sorry OP.

>>16488395
Lol, looks like shit just got worse for Avis. Vox operator can breathe a sigh of relief!

At least she isn't gonna end up as some weird sex slave. Rapequest averted!

>>16488395
Crom, I'm never praying to you.

TO HELL WITH YOU!

rolled 83 = 83

>>16488387
Is there any way we could just have her put the damn tank in drive and just let it run towards the wall? Shit, I'll roll just to have her do this on her own.

>>16488410

> rapequest.

Why, my dear anon, whatever do you mean?

I was merely talking about throwing her into a warp portal or something just for shits and giggles.

Lets admit it guys, if we view our character for what he is, the typical self-serving brutalistic mid-level guard officer, instead of some heroic type that we'd love for him to be, this story actually paints quite a nice picture.

>>16488419
But we already wrote the suicide note...

rolled 18 = 18

>>16488387
Please not, Captain, that this is a last-way-out.
We cannot even be sure whether they have set up heavy defenses.
If possible, your death and wasting a chimera will be avoided.
But we cannot stand in open field and have the artillery rain down on us.
I am impressed by your courage to take this burden upon you.

>>16488439

And her men will realize that all along she's been buckling under the pressure of command, and that she was two steps away from becoming a homicidal maniac just looking for a way to get them kill.

Then they'll look at brave captain Rollfaec and see him as a true guard officer, a man that should be aspired to.

rolled 49 = 49

>>16488387
>Please let someone tell Avis not to Sacrifice herself. I got shit planned.

"Don't sacrifice yourself."

>>16488462

And of course, lest we forget.

THE VOX CHANNELS ARE COMPLETELY OFF-LIMITS.

>>16488395
With both of your companies assembled, you march forward. As you reach the mountains, Avis makes the Chimera go far faster than you could expect. As you slowly advance though, you can see concrete bunkers with artillery guns inside of them. Those aiming these guns, have the skill of blindfolded orks. Not a single shot hits your main force.

Avis's Chimera rams straight into one of the Bunkers. She jumps out the back and rolls down the hill. Running after her are about 12 Traitor Guardsmen.

>I planned for her to jump out the back the entire time, naa I actually rolled it RL to see if she was devoted.

>>16488462
I like the sound of it. Maybe set her up for an outburst in front of the men, to back things up. Just push her in the right way.

rolled 71 = 71

>>16488489

Lol OP.

Have the chimera elements swing around and pick her up, while hosing the enemy troops with their heavy weapons.

I'm not at all in favour of wasting a chimaera. This rivalry between the officers is affecting the morale of the men. Soliders want to be led, fucking lead them.

Let's fucking have some mortars hit their position and then roll up with the armour line abreast, slowly, infantry inbetween, squads leapfrogging each other to provide cover.

This petty shit can be resolved in the wardroom later, but right now we need action.

rolled 88 = 88

>>16488489
Blessed be Thor's living memory.
At least make it a pretty explosion if we have to lose a chimera for it.

rolled 98 = 98

>>16488489
BOOYA! My plan worked! :D
We push the frontal assault. Ave picks up Avis while Alpha guns down her persuers - the veteran gunner should have no trouble avoiding hitting her. We'll recommend her for a commendation afterwards, and defend our actions by saying that her questioning of the chain of command led us to fear that she might have fallen in league with the heretics during the isolation of her platoon, and we wished to test her dedication.
Once inside the fortification, clear the entrance and deploy the heavy stubber team.
Once the enemy are driven back, burn them from their holes.

>>16488539
... I am getting some great rolls tonight, the Emperor must endorse my tactics.

rolled 30 = 30

>>16488539

Nothing to fear sir, she stole the chimera and attempted to single-handedly sacrifice herself in an attempt to destroy the enemy.

Only she didn't die and now the fact that she destroyed a valuable piece of imperial guard equipment is on her head.

We can still play this however we want, it's just we lost a chimera.

Actually OP, has the chimera actually exploded or is it still functional?

>>16488539

It seems the bunkers are connected because the smoke from the Chimera explosion is leaking through the slits of the other bunkers. It's forcing the Traitors to run out of their Bunkers, confused, coughing, and out in the open.

The heavy bolters make quick work of those following Avis. Then Reiter says, "Sir, I'm glad she made it. I wouldn't want to be the man having to explain her death to the Colonel. Anyways, it seems the victory is ours, shall I order the men to run down the enemy like the dogs they are."

>I wasn't sure to kill Avis or not, so I rolled. It rolled on a even number, that meant she lives. Just explaining my actions so my reasons for doing what I do are clearer.

>>16488563
Bad Crom, that's a bad Crom.

>>16488567
Hot damn, this is the best attack I've ever been a part of! Ok, so losing a chimera sucks, but now we've culled the buggers we just gained an artillery position with only one hole in its defenses!

rolled 23 = 23

>>16488567

Grab Reiter's shoulder and order him to belay that order.

"These chaos scum can be cunning on occasion sergeant, i want you to lead an element ahead of us as we march towards the enemy's key position." Rollfaec tells him.

"Let them run, while they can.". Rollfaec says calmly.

We continue the advance.

Hunt them down! Kill them all, let non taint this planet further!
Avis shall lead the purge. I guess that is what she's good at.

rolled 65 = 65

>>16488589
Oh yeah, new course of action.
After clearing out the bunkers, reinforce the gap made in the walls. Earthworks in front of Ave and Alpha, Heavy stubber in a tower / on a wall, guardsmen as sentries in all directions. Basic trench formations, obstructions for enemy armour are the main priority though. Contact command and tell them that although we've attacked and caused heavy losses, we were forced to pull back. Believe enemy communications destroyed.
If the enemy radio doesn't light up within 30 minutes, make a genuine report to command.

>>16488629
Does any intel suggest the enemy has armour?

>>16488629

These are merely the forward defense i believe, the central compound will be just ahead of our current position.

The enemy commander, or cultist leader, or whatever, will probably be there.

rolled 44 = 44

>>16488629
Great plan. Seconding.

>>16488662
Not that OP has told us yet, but we're now in a bunker - infantry attack isn't a concern so long as we fill the breach, our numbers are sufficient for a solid defense for now. Enemy armour could muck things up though, so best to be prepared for the greater threat.

rolled 64 = 64

>>16488662
No, it's a false report, and a fucking genius one at that.

>>16488678
Oh, so you didn't like my chimera-bomb plan, but you like where I go from there :P
Just wait until I have a fun idea for our new artillery...

>>16488629
Resistance is light if not non-existent. Quickly your mean reinforce position weak to attack. The heavy stubber sets itself on the destroyed bunker since it doesn't have a arty gun no more.

As you vox command, you see from the East Three Leman Russ tanks. They open fire at the ground in front of them. One of the tank commanders pops his head of one the hatches, he looks around. A look of, "Oh shit," comes across his face.

What will you do while these tanks are out in the open.

Ours or theirs?
Assuming they're hostile;
Level off the artillery for direct fire, this'll be like the US invasions of the Japanese island chains all over again. Prep Ave and Alpha to fire, and make sure those tank traps are ready. If any guardsmen have kraks, place them in a trench or foxhole asap to place them on the underside of a Leman as it passes overhead. We have the numbers and the fortification and the element of surprise, and we shall succeed IN THE NAME OF THE EMPEROR!

YES! Another solid roll :D

rolled 16 = 16

>>16488719

Although saying that it would be nice to have some bigger tanks...

Do we have any short-range anti-armour munitions OP?

Preferably mines, or those explosives from the mine complex if Avis didn't use them all before.

> rolling for anti-armour.

>>16488729
Oh, and order Ave and Alpha to target tracks, to make them easier targets for the artillery.

>>16488729
>There traitors

Captain Avis decides to relay your command. She orders for a barrage on the enemy tank's position. "Don't stop till not a single tank remains."

The shells pound the area around the Tanks, and of course the Tanks. As the dust settles you see there is only a single survivor. He is walking with hands behind his head.

Reiter says, "Sir shall I give the order for the men to fire on that heretic."

rolled 58 = 58

>>16488773

Order the men to take the heretic captive.

Bring him up to our newly-established command bunker, sit him down and put him under armed guard.

Then, we shall have words.

rolled 90 = 90

>>16488773
No. Suffer not the heretic to live, but better the heretic live to suffer at the hands of the inquisition...
Capture him, interrogate his. Ask Avis to take the lead, see if we can help her improve her technique. I'm beginning to take a liking to her, let's see if we can make a true captain of her.
We want to know:
Troop movements
Numbers
Armour
Artillery positions
Objectives
Command location

Swear to god that I ain't cheating these rolls somehow :O

For all we know he might be one of the locals from the PDF regiments, he might not even know anything about the ruinous powers.

In which case, we can probably get a lot more out of him than just troop numbers or objectives.

Of course, that's not to say he isn't going to die, because he is. As soon as we're done with him.

>>16488815

Fried got it with a 91 boss.

rolled 52 = 52

Let Avis vent her frustrations on him, perhaps? Maybe remind her that it was the casualties among her men that his allies inflicted that led to her current predicament?

>>16488825
I read this in a gretchin's voice but now I feel heretical for it.

>>16488831

I was thinking more about what kind of propoganda the heretics were using the convince the PDF to follow them, such information could be quite useful to the folks in intelligence.

>>16488795
The man is a sickly mutant. His mouth his twisted, his teeth sharpened to point of knives. He fingers are more like claws, sharp enough you bet to rip right through flak. As you ask him questions, he just smiles and complies.

"Troop movements?" He says, "All over the place. Mostly the North Continent though. Those Khornates have dibs on the Middle Continent. Numbers? At least a one thousand Legions worth, I'll let you work out that number in your head. Armour? More were those came from, at least fifteen Lemans. Artillery positions? The whole damn mountains are filled with them. Objectives? Well these Khornates and Slaaneshi want this world for it's ore, and people. I, well Malice asks me to sabotage as many as I can. That's why I'm helping you, just so you know. Command location? Further in the mountains, I don't know exactly." You notice a skull, half painted black, half painted white on his shoulder.

>>16488896
>This is funnier of this death sentences

He simply laughs as your men put him on the autocannon.

The Colonel sounds worried, if you didn't know how to listen to voices, then you wouldn't know how afraid he really was. "I'll have a astropath send a message. I want you to hold your position. I'm putting this planet under martial law. Good work Captain. Hold position till further notice."

rolled 70 = 70

We know from our experiences so far that this is no minor heresy. If the planet has truly been taken by chaos in its purest form, there is little to be done to save it.
Rolling to find out if there is a fleet carrying Cyclonic Torpedoes or Virus Bombs in the system, in case we need it later. This may turn for the worse.

>>16488970

This.

This is my chief concern right now.

If it ends up going this way i'm for bugging out and fleeing the system.

>>16488966
You are a GOD for going along with the autocannon, thought it might seem I was taking the piss a bit :D
Got the idea from a story my dad told me as a child about strapping Hindus to the fronts of mortars centuries ago so they would reach heaven in a fine mist, based on a belief that you arrive in paradise in the state you leave earth. Terror tactics at their best.

>>16488970
There is no fleet in the sub-sector that could carry out Exterminatus. Also, I should note, that none of your men, not even Reiter or Avis know about this, you interrogated him yourself. And he just keeps laughing, and laughing while attached on the auto-cannon.

Reiter says, "Sir can I just shoot him, I don't think I can even hear myself with all his crazy laughter."

rolled 56 = 56

>>16489046
I'll do a bet- you can kill him now, even pull the trigger yourself, if you point the gun at the ground 50 metres away. If the splatter of heretic is more than 3 metres across, I get 5 of your cigarettes.

>>16489046

The way he's laughing it's almost like he actually wants to die.

Just saying.

After ripping out his tongue and lower jaw, he continues to try and hackle but it's just not fun anymore for him. He just hangs there, silent.

Reiter says, "Sir, shouldn't we gather all the officers in the second and fourth. I suggest we discuss about what is happening together. There is a nice round table in the bunker systems."

>>16489101
I like the way you think - this once, I'm happy to be out rolled.

rolled 22 = 22

>>16489046
I'm gonna' go ahead and suggest that we prepare our men, set up a good perimeter. If we have any weapons that can be taken off of the Chimeras and placed somewhere, then we should do that with half of the armaments we can. The rest should be left, in case we have to make a hasty retreat.

Along with this, we should send out four squads, paired, out a bit of ways to set up recon outposts. Perhaps have a Chimera go with each, for a hasty retreat if they spot enemy forces.

rolled 96 = 96

>>16489126
Sound like a plan. However, Avis is a Captain and has proven her worth, and so it is her right to know the situation first. Furthermore, if the officers are to leave the defenses, I would like to know a competant officer is holding the fort - let this be another test of Avis' abilities. We brief her first, leave her in command of the poor bloody infantry, brief the officers, update Avis on the outcomes of the briefing, ask for her views and offer critique. If we catch a bullet, the men will answer to her. We don't want to risk their lives in the hands of an incompetant, so we must better her and better her fast.

Yes, arrange for a meeting tonight.
We shall discuss the implications of all this and what is to do next.

Can I still get splattered heretic with my scones?

>>16489136
Already placed defenses back here

>96, just damn.

Avis understand exactly, she nods and walks off to lead the troops. A few minutes later a few Lieutenants file into the room. There is Lieutenant Grotter, Lieutenant Ray, and Lieutenant Reiter.

Reiter: Sir, the heretics could have been here for months. Years possibly. The time spent building these fortifications, it's worrying me.

Grotter: I agree, we should move forward into the mountains. Take the enemy positions, while they still are wondering what is going on here.

Ray: I disagree, we should hold here.

Grotter: Ray, shut up.

>>16489169
Oh, and to elaborate on my intentions for Avis;
Our first meeting showed she has determination.
The suicide charge showed dedication and respect.
The Leman Russ attack and this current action test her ability to lead.
Finally, we need to know that her determination will not lead her or her men to their deaths, and we must find a chance to explore this. Perhaps then, we can give her some level of autonomy.

I must say, I agree with the majority. The enemy doubtlessly know of our position, and while we have eliminated nearby hostiles, more may approach. However, the Colonel ordered us to hold our post.
It is decided; we plant charges on the artillery loading assemblies so we can destroy them in the event of an overrun. The majority of our force pull back to a nearby location well suited for defense, and the remaining units garrison the undamaged bunkers. Efforts are made to make our occupation of the intact bunkers apparent and make the damaged bunker seem neglected; if we ARE attacked, the garrison units can use the tunnels to flee via the damaged bunker, which the enemy will surely neglect. This will allow them to fall back to our main position to fend off the attack, and later fall back to out properly defended post at the mine. The colonel may be displeased, but at least we can deny the enemy an artillery base and suffer minimal casualties in preparation for a counter-attack.

Most likely someone will beat my roll, but in case they don't - Ray is put in charge of the garrison. If he feels he is well suited to a defensive action, I put my faith in him. Always give the lower ranks a chance to shine.

>This man's rolls, he is the champion of the dice gods.

As you give your orders, the Lieutenants file out of the command room.

Then you hear the vox caster running to you, he says, "Contacts, enemy infantry. They don't know we're here. What are your orders sir!"

>Sees no one else posted, mfw.

>>16489322
Why should anybody roll against this?
The plan is about flawless.
Just don't eneable the enemy to stroll into the bunkers through the damages.

>>16489410
Let them come within about 30 meters range.
Then swat them. If they appear to become uneasy, start shooting before they can articulate a plan of sorts.

Hate to do this to you op, given as I'm having great fun (and luck), but I gotta go sleep pretty damn soon. Shop ain't gonna open itself tomorrow. Anyway, tactics:

Do we have incendiary shells for the artillery? Seeing as we haven't redeployed yet, we're well defended against infantry, so we may as well make them hurt. If not incendiary, then frag shells. In fact... do hellfire shells exist? Chaos may not show fear, but we want to make them think twice about moving troops in our area, and reducing them to melted and torn flesh should do just that. Anything that survives should be cut down easily by our defenses.

Also, the sooner we exhausted the artillery shell supply, the sooner we can justify a withdrawl from this god forsaken bunker.

>>16489470
Wow, last post and he get's a three.

Anyways, get to posting guys. Crom you still here?

>>16489470
Hah! The lucky rolls finally ran out! If that isn't fate telling me to sleep, I don't know what is. Emperor be with you all, gents. I hope to see a great end to the thread when I refresh this in the morning - here's hoping Avis gets that chance to shine and we all pull through. If it all goes wrong, I'm proposing a bad ending in advance (and rolling for it) - any surviving men mount the chimeras (literally, standing on them holding on for dear life), ideally with us on Alpha and Avis on Ave if they're still kicking. We charge head on into the enemy, and slaughter as many as we can in our own little charge of the light brigade. Assuming this roll comes up well, of course.

And this is only an "if it goes wrong" - hopefully you won't need it ;)

>>16489505
Actually, I'm signing off as well, seing it's 4:00 am in Germany.
So it's kinda late for me now.
Thank you and good night.
