The Current SItuation

Hellghast has advanced to the town square, the enemy is readying for the attack; a strong second wave will be ideal to push towards the train in time.

Report in. The mission will continue when 7+ units have joined or when the CO gives the go.

Reporting in, I will be making the roster just don't make me wait too much.

Hounder Unit engaged.

"Alright let's do this!"

What's going on in this thread

>>16775160

A mission is resuming and great foes will be crushed! (If we can scrap the people for it together.)

Pick a class and join the war!

>>16775182

Or a tank if you're some kind of coward and worried about getting shot.

I fought. A long time ago. Seen some things. Saw a train with a bomb ride into a bug hive with my friends on it. Lost my hands. Twice. Got my skin burned to a crisp by a nuke. I lost fiends with that company. I lost Ghost. I lost Dragon. I lost myself. No, I've had my enough of fighting. I've had enough to fill a lifetime.

Sorry, bro. had to remember where I put that uniform.

Is there an IRC running?

#SkirmishQuest on Rizon

I'm sure you know the way there.

>>16775274
True, but it's always handy to have the latest version. Not that I would have any use for them myself.

is there some kind of compilation of the info/rules/bleh?
1d4chan knows not of ironhearts, nor of skirmishquest...

>>16775324
Susden posted them all in this thread.

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/16635946/

Otherwise, act is the number of action you can do and move is the number of hex you can move. Roll can't be used with noko and you need to roll under.

Hey guys I never played this game before but from the unit list I m wondering what Paranormal Investigators do? What is their role on the battlefield? Do they look for clues?

>>16775461

They can, they can also shoot whatever kind of bullet you want making them effective against EVERYTHING....for six shots anyway

Good morning, all. Private Paisley, reporting in.

>>16775461

Investigators can do a bit of analytical guesswork and bend reality a little bit using the clue they find.

> Find a building with tanks coming out of it
> There's a motorpool there

Roll well
> There is a motorpool there

Dont Roll Well
> I guess the enemy was just using it to surprise attack. Also theres ghosts.

You can also "search" for things that could feasibly be on the field.

>>16775479
Did you have a designated number paisley? If yes please take it, since I can't remember who was where.

Ready and waiting.

>>16775497

Readjusted, Major.

And we hit 5/7, two more and we're ready to go. I hope you are patient...

man. it's been forever. time to dig up my stat sheet.

Varro grumbled as his squadmates Vayle and Glenn dragged him out of the squad tent.

"Oh hey, next time wake me up sooner before the battle..."

Enemy Phase has Begun. Get situated with yourselves and find your unit on one of the few flags on the board.

MIA units are on the board to suffer attrition.

Alright, I assume I'm Hr at Flag Star.

Tactics question: Do we know the combat capabilities of those long-shanks skellies? (Haven't seen them before.) My initial plan is advance E 6, drop prone next turn, and hold that upper fork, but if we've got some info on how tough they are, that can help my decide.

>>16776276

ME decide.

Stupid late night conversations at Denny's, making me get less sleep.

>>16776276
>it seem I forgot to mention my change of weapon to IC
>Please refrain from shooting at the mono next turn thank you

>>16776276
Uhhh, are you talking about that town square full of ghouls there? Because those are just the same old ghouls we've been fighting since Sylvia.

>>16776276

Those are just ghouls I think, Marks. Cannon fodder, but dangerous in numbers. There's a big rush coming, though, so we'll need to clear those tunnel entrances before they nom us all.

>>16776316
Have they always had such long arms?

I feared I was dealing with Terrible Ghoul Walkers. Or Scissorman Ghouls. That's a relief.

>>16776349
Please do not give ideas to IC.

>>16776363

Considering the addition of limbs I would be surprised if they were normal ghouls

>>16776451
From experience units form change a bit from mission to mission. This isn't any different until proven otherwise.

>>16777405

Oh fuck. Why is that statue cracking?

>>16777436

Gunther shot at it to try and collapse it on the enemy.

>>16777436
Also [C1] Erwin used some fancy magic to weaken the foundations.

>>16777405

Major Thane, there appears to be an armored force trying to recapture the flag on the other side of the North Bridge. Could you possibly intercept that force?

>>16777495
Oooh. Armor that close to me?! I can give them a taste of the old Snapping Turtle.

Hey what happened to the Hinterhaus ghoul lady? I'd really like to know if she has any info on the weaknesses of these "bloody skeletons" we have got on our hands here. Do the concussive rounds from our sluggers seem to be doing more damage then normal rifle rounds?

Also is she still taking ghoul parts in payment for some sort of future benefit?

>>16777720

Mary Susan should still be around somewhere. I'm pretty sure we'll be able to pay her well for any services she can afford us right now, provided we can find her.

transferiing buildings ; 20 minutes break.

>>16777805


Can I help you ?

>>16777865

Just the person we've been looking for! Miss, there
is a rather large contingent of ghouls bearing down on us right now. You mentioned earlier HinzerHaus specialized in ghoul extermination. How much would it be to procure your services?

>>16777934

(wow, the punctuation came out odd on that post)

>>16777934

Hinzerhaus would love to help, however as it is we can only provide advice.

You're dealing with red skeletons. Ghouls sired from immolation victims. Red skeletons are immune to piercing damage but washes away under water contact.

They are especially effective at setting their victims on fire.

>>16778303

Thank you for the assistance, miss. We'll be changing our battleplans accordingly

The AA tank cannons thudded, orange tracers blazing trails around the downed Stork. One of the hits took Womack in the chest, knocking him on his back. "Shit! I'm hit! I'M HIT!"

Varro ducked away from the rain of fire that was impacting the skin of the fallen bird they were using as cover for the makeshift F.O.B. Seeing their slightly-manic rapid transport driver arrive along with Paisley's slightly-shot up mobile arty team gave him heart though.

"Alright, we're taking the war to their front door. Let's get mechanized. Paisley, I know I can count on good cover fire from you. Doom... I hope you're ready to get your wheels greased. We're gonna ride straight down the barrels of their guns and blast out the other end shooting."

Springer hears a knock on the hatch of her Strider, and, without looking away from the front view window, opens it with one hand while still moving the Strider forwards, Sanders tumbling into the cockpit and into Springer's lap.
"You better not relapse in my damn cockpit!"
"Kaaaah! This is super ultra great wonderful delicious mega bad! I knew I should have restocked back in Ragnyll!"
"Just get out of the way so I can kill these bastards!"

Command, I got a few requests.

First, get on the horn and tell Major Thane to commit whatever forces he's got left. Then get Zwei on the line and have him bless our artillery shells and the munitions for Peregrin's planes.

I have a feeling we need them, but I hope to god we son't.

That's either very good, or very bad.

I hope it's good for us.

"Enough maintenance work - these bastards are gonna sting after this!"

>>16782385

"What's happening?!" Paisley shouted over the swirling of the collapsing vortex. Womack sounded like he shouted a reply, but it was muffled by the roar of that new pilot Doomrider's motorcycle landing right next to him. First the major dying, and now collapsing portals to other worlds? This day just kept getting more incredible and horrible. His hands go to the rosary in his pocket, thumbing through the beads as his mind hurriedly recites another prayer of protection.

"Holy shit! I think I actually discovered what they were up to!"

>>16782572
OH GOD WHAT IN THE HELL IS THAT THING.

For you have awoken me and denied me tribute For you have witnessed me and shunned me away

A great curse will be set upon you - one in which you can never awaken from again.

The curse of doom. Imminnent and slow gaining. But sure to grip you.

Sure to extinguish your life for no one else to claim.

You have.

99 Days.

"The Goddess is all, and has created all. She was before the world existed. She was before the universe was given form. Her tears wash away all transgression, her voice makes the earth shudder with its power." Paisley had collapsed to his knees, the prayers becoming more urgent. Womack could only stand and watch the vortex change colors and shift, bathing the surrounding area in an unholy light.

The gate has closed !
Thank gods !
Some people have been claimed but damage to us is miraculously little.

Mjr. Thane, fortify this city.
Peregrin, fly in the Phantom Train

Helghast - I'm sorry for your loss. But the operation must go on. This is critical if we are to cut the Voss at their legs.

= Mission End =

Sellers flops into Springer's lap as she opens the top hatch to let her in, her clothes still singed from the explosion.
Springer: "Yeah, come on in it's a freakin' party in here!"
Sanders: "WHAAAAT IIIIS HAPPENIIIIIING?"
Springer: "It's like that gate at Kolstec! Hang onto your butts, I'm getting us out of here!"

"Platoon, go secure Major Mana's sword!"

>Deploying anyways.
>Running over and grabbing the shiny sword, because someone has to do it.

Heh

HAHEHAHEHahahahHAHAHHAHAHAHAH

99 Days !?

99 !??

MotherFether- WE CAN FIGHT HELL AND THE VOSS IN LESS TIME THAN THAT !

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

>>16782628
I really hope he's talking to Voss and not at us...

...because I hate deadlines. I'm a procrastinator at heart.

The Invasion of Stallion was a tough one, but we managed to pull through.

> 12exp For legacy characters

>Investigate the runes of the summoning circle to see just who or what the voss summoned and try to figure out exactly what the curse will do.

>>16782667
>>16782693
Yeah, anyways, recover Sol, and lets salvage those fancy new battlesuits the Voss threw at us and see if Peppers can't figure out how they tick.

Also, for the time being, Hinzerhaus will be our HQ.

And lets try and collect whatever we can of Mana's body. At the very least she deserves to be sent home.

>>16782701
Vahn pops his head out of the tank's hatch, rubbing his eyes.

"Uhh. The flying feth was that thing Captain?"

As suddenly as the manifestation of power appeared, it had dissipated, and only the ambience of the battlefield was left around them. Womack blinked, not exactly sure of what had transpired here, before turning to his squadmate. "Pais? Hey, Paisley, you okay?"

Paisley was hunched over, hands shaking as his hands held the worn wooden-beaded rosary with a white-knuckled grip. He looked up to Womack, his face a mixture of horror and fear, before turning away to vomit. He gasped, panting, before looking up again to see Womack's outstretched hand. He managed a weak smile as he pulled himself back up.

The smoke continued to spiral upward from the many fires.

>>16782735
Hell if I know. Another demonic nasty trying to edge in on our turf, I suppose.

>22 exp from kills/assists
>8 exp for mission.
>30 total.

> As far as ancient gods go, the name of the Grimm rings many names in different cultures
but the runes call it Thanatos, the Death Dealer. It is said that the Death God was given a human shape and thus, human ambition which created War.

As the town square erupted into a sinister lightshow, Varro's eyes were not on the yawning portal into hell, but on his squadmates and allies. The last thing he needed was somebody with a gun in their hands to lose their marbles. These men and women were all Hellghast though, he needn't have worried... Many showed signs of disturbance but none were moved to sudden dangerous acts.

Walking over to Paisley he grabbed the fellow soldier and hauled him to his feet... then settled for a firm but friendly pat on the back.

"Glad you've got something that works for you. Hold onto it, where we're going that won't be the last test of faith."

Glenn and Kayle watched their squad leader as he slummed off to light a cigarette.

"...And what is it that works for you, boss?"

"Nicotine. Nicotine and not being able to give a damn anymore."

So what the heck kind of XP do I get for repairing and resupplying, since that's pretty much all I did this whole mission?

>>16782729

" Aye sir. Me and Kay'll collect ours as well.
C'mon Kay; we got holes to dig. "

"Damn what have the Voss gotten themselves into..."
>If I can I'll Invesitgate Hinzenhaus to see if there is anything interesting we can use.

>>16782781
Hm, I forgot how engineer exp was tallied. It used to be 1 exp for every kit you used, but I believe that was scrapped because it was too broken.

>>16782781
Alright, i got the rules. You get 1 exp for every structure built, and 1 exp per unit you repair in a single turn.

Okay, kill tally...

>2 Gunners/1 Tank from the beach bunker: 4kp
>6 infantry that were part of that first arty strike Gunther called (shaky on this, but counting it anyway): 6kp
>3 infantry/1 ghoul at the tunnel entrance: 4 kp

So in all, when combined with the 8xp from the mission and the 7xp I had leftover from Kolstec...29xp

I like this.

>>16782891

Forgive my denseness, but when you refer to "unit" does this mean that when I repair a single vehicle (or recently-deceased Major) 4 points in one turn, that I gain 1 XP or 4 XP?

>>16782925

You gain one point per turn per unit [repair]. So yeah 1pt.

Kill points from Stallion:

>Turn 2: 3 Infantry from first grenade toss and 1 from Slugger fire (+4)
>Turn 3: 2 Infantry kills from Slugger fire. (+2)
>Turn 5: 1 Scout kill from Slugger fire. (+1)
>Turn 6: Monotank assist (+2)
>8 exp from mission

I'm at 17. Anybody spare 3 to make it a nice even number?

>3 XP for repairing Mana for 3 turns
>3 XP for repairing Gunther for 3 turns
>8 XP for mission

14 total XP. Well, I got enough for one upgrade - ought to tide me over.

Tallying kills.

>18 infantrymen (3 on the beach in the bunker, 12 on the bridge, 3 when rescuing Soap), 18 KP
>2 gunners (Both assists at the bunker) 2 KP
>3 Snipers (1 on the sea wall, 2 stomped on at the roof) 3 KP
>12 ghouls (All at the tunnels) 12 KP
>2 Rocket Troopers (Both at the end) 2 KP
>1 Scifax, 1 KP
38 total KP +8 mission EXP
7 EXP already had from previous missions

53 total EXP

>>16783051

Correction, assuming we got 8 EXP from the VS mission I have 61 exp.

>>16782976

Adding to that previous tally:
+8 from Aeon Vs. Battle!

25 total EXP at the moment.

>>16783031

We got 8 XP from that skirmish vs. Aeon? Missed that.

22 XP total.

>>16782905

If we get +8xp from the VS mission, that puts me at...37xp.

Awesome.

The artwork and maps gave me a hard-on.

"Tsk", Sudsen stood at the ruins of his downed Stork. The Bird had cut a swath into the Vossian defenses till well a certain "friendly fire" incident had intervened.
The rubble was extensive there was no way to rebuild her, best just to take what scrap there was to repair the rest of the fleet. Oh well some of the parts would come in handy and besides he could always tune up Isara, with or with out Gunthers knowledge.

Friendly bump.

>2 or 3 Xp from assists when Kess was first riding with me (if passenger kills count for assists.)
>8 Mission Xp
>Puts me at 10 or so xp. No where near enough for Mouse spec but its a start. Any form of donation would be loved folks.

The thrum of the Rig's engine was loud as it's rider continued hammering on the throttle despite sitting still watching the end play out. Doom Rider didn't care, his vision was obscured with tears anyway. The woman he liked, despite her metallic frame, was dead so who was the manic coke fiend supposed to hit on now?
