If we can counteract magic with what we've learned, then our best bet is to make sure the mages aren't shielded. My biggest fear is that they are impervious to our snipers.

You also have a list of your assets, while Gretta, your chief radio operator, works to coordinate the various elements of your forces with a cool mind and calm voice. In spite of the energy of the situation, everyone here looks extremely calm, Gunther even looking cheery as he practically bounds out of the command post to join his men in the woods.

Dr. Buren enters as Gunther departs, speaking up.

Dr. Buren: "I'd like to volunteer myself as an envoy. I've spoken with Gabriella at length about the books we uncovered and are working to translate-- I think I could, at least, help keep our armies from having to meet. A bit of psychology could help as well."
Siegfried: "And run the risk of losing a doctor, as well as displaying a sign of weakness? This Baron came with an army, Oberst." The Thule representative warns, "A display of power is in order to quell him. Send me with a squad of Wehrmacht and the Panzer."

general consensus last thread was sending a three man fireteam 1 guard 1 radioman 1 diplomate with a ring.

We have no idea of the intentions of the Baron, is it the town, the gate, our mere presence.

I stand, as I did earlier, that we make an attempt at diplomacy.

>>23932289
Yell "GOOD NEWS, EVERYBODY" from the walls, Farnsworth's army will mistake me for their Baron and do whatever you I, at which point I command them to go away.

Let him send the envoy, hes the asshat that is stomping around outside our outpost.

Maybe the empire regularly uses the gates as transportation for their own army?

>>23932399
start work on shelter for future airplanes and start doing prepwork for a railroad.

>>23932436
We have more pressing concerns at the moment.

Hans radios back from his tank, "I have room for a small group like that in the tank, aye, but this talk of wizardry is making me a twinge uneasy. This armor's good, but I don't know what damage magic can do." He remarked, "I'll gladly plow ahead if you desire, though, sir."

>>23932380
Unfortunately, said Baron will likely have an invention ready to counteract your clever ruse!

>>23932459
We also have an army hanging around our doorstep. We can get to building when we dont need every engineer with a rifle.

>>23932363
>Dr. Buren
take a ring and a Opel Blitz and 3 guards have a machine gun mounted on the Opel Blitz for safety.

>>23932446
Agreed.

Also, gentlemen, allow me to speak on behalf of Dr. Klein. In the event of a skirmish, our current medical supplies are already strained in village affairs, and we will not be able to provide services to enemy casualties in the event they surrender after the battle.

>>23932436

I'd rather we resolve the current crisis before commiting anyone to something that isn't fighting.

I still say we should go ourselves. Grab a 251 and some soldiers and call out for a meeting infront of his army. Wearing the ring, of course.

>>23932476
> implying they could start work on the airfield with the army outside
> implying they wont start only after this is resolved

>>23932466
put a swastika banner on top of it and tell him to roll out.

>>23932466
Whatever you do, don't send the fucking tank. We need it to snipe the siege machines if things get ugly, and we don't know what their mages can do. So far, every single one of Hellbrons suggestions should be disregarded.

>>23932491
oh i withdraw my other suggestion in support for this

>>23932476
Actually, your engineers have trench guns, and they're currently holding positions in the compound itself alongside the majority of your forces. The walls are well-manned, but you're not over-concentrating due to a fear of the enemy's siege engines.

>>23932410
If you desire, you could wait the Baron to act first, as his forces currently seem to be congregating and organizing outside your facility.

>>23932491
You could also go in-person if you desire. What soldiers you bring with you are your decision to make, but keep in mind that the clock is ticking as you decide upon what to do.

>>23932490
Ah, but, Herr Doctor, there won't be many enemy survivors after the battle. That won't be an issue.

>>23932503
Are you retarded?
So far you want to risk our tank, which is also likely to cause them to get nervous and start flinging fireballs around.

>>23932506

>>23932530

Just get a couple of wehrmacht to ride with us in the car. It's just so we don't go all alone.

>>23932566
actually the worst option is just starting shooting which i helped convince the others of last thread.

>>23932595
this pretty much

I'm with Seigfreid on this one. The man showed up with an army, and we should only negotiate once we have demonstrated that opposing us is a very bad choice.

Crush them.

>>23932627
and by then negotiating will no longer be an option

Gentlemen, please note that with the size of the enemy army, if we do defeat them in great numbers, we risk their decaying corpses spreading disease and contaminating the nearby river.

We do not have the necessary manpower collect the bodies into a central location. We would have to resort to burning multiple corpse piles, which poses another issue of fuel and air cleanliness. We we're provided enough gas masks for our soldiers, but not for the nearby village.

>>23932627
We can win the battle for sure if we can neutrilize the mages, but the enemy can keep on attacking us and slowly burn through our ammo and manpower long before we get a resupply or retreat through the gate

>>23932650
Of course it will be. And on our terms as well.

Why the hell are we negotiating now? They've rocked up with an army, and do you know what going outside to talk with them would be? A sign of weakness. Either let them send their own envoy, or attack immediately while they're still organizing.

Rolled 15

>>23932595

Do we even have anything other than whermacht? the commandos are in flanking positions and we have no other types of troops AFAIK

>>23932692
do you know what sending 5 guys in a halftrack will say "dont fuck with us we only need 5 guys to kick your ass".

>>23932665
There is zero risk of that happening, seeing as they're on the other side of the fort from the river.

>>23932692
For once, Hellbron is right. We can most likely mop the floor with Farnsworths face in this engagement, but then we are suddenly in the middle of a hostile country with no backup.

>>23932712
No it will say "oh look I'm a fuckwit, please take me hostage."

>>23932725
Perhaps, but the gate and camp would need to be evacuated and any transport to and fro would require those involved to wear gas masks until the bodies and smoke have been cleared.

Also, any villages downstream who use the river as a watersource will be decimated. We could potentially be poisoning a large portion of the country.

>>23932747
>decimate his army
>seize Farnsworths family members as hostages for his co-operation
OR
>put our own guy in place

We're annexing these people sooner later anyway, no need to play the diplomat right now.

Find a flag bearing the symbol of our glorious reich

Begin playing Deutschland uber alles in the background

then send out the 3 man team (1 radio, one flag bearer, one man to conduct basic diplomacy. Ie "why the fuck are you here")

was the consensus from last session

>>23932797
this

Don't go there ourself.

If we are sending envoy, send both Klein and Siegfried with display of power

>>23932792
Later is when we have enough men to hold off a zergrush. There is a good chance that they could put together a force of 5-10 thousand men to squash us if we ruin this army and they realize the threat we pose.

>>23932797
This.

Why do the interesting threads always show up when I want to sleep?
>/tg/ - You don't even need your bed anymore

>>23932820
Why are we sending Herr Doctor Klein?

>>23932779
Are you even looking at the map? Unless you're saying we'll be dumping bodies in the river how is the watersource going to be contaminated at all?

And what's this nonsense about gas masks for smoke and clearing corpses? We'll have our prisoners (and we'll take a few no doubt) bury their dead.

>>23932792
And then the empire, which will have more then enough men and mages to drown a measly 300 germans will descend on us for declaring war.

Odds are that they do almost literally have more bodies then we have bullets.

We dont want a war.
the baron doesnt want a war (because he will die).

Why fight when nobody wins?

>>23932797
>was the consensus from last session

Bullshit.

If we are sending people then we are sending them in force. Not just one or two guys who'll get slaughtered if something happens.

>>23932832
shit, I meant Buren

>>23932792
Farnsworth is only a minor lord in a larger Empire I think.

>>23932797
I can go with this instead of immediately attacking, but if anything happens to our envoys (and no way in hell are we going ourselves) then we should attack immediately.

>>23932839
No, we are not sending anyone in force, because we want to minimize losses incase the baron decides to kill them all. And the best way of doing that is sending a small team to greet him, figure out what is going on (or be killed and promptly avenged as we blow them all to kingdom come AND the stone again at once)

If they do attack, we want our fortifications to minimize losses. And going out in force might just as well scare them into attacking.

Do this the smart way, not the easy one

>>23932862
I agree with not going ourselves. We should also avoid sending anyone too important.

>>23932835
So the alternative is to wait for the inevitable attack anyway? What exactly are we hoping to achieve from negotiating with Farnsworth?

>>23932835
>And then the empire, which will have more then enough men and mages to drown a measly 300 germans will descend on us for declaring war.

yes because the Empire has infrastructure, trains and airplanes to mobilize their entire army as soon as thins happens, right?

More likely that this incident would reach its ears in half a year or so and even then they wont react appropriately because they just wouldn't know what happened.

Anyway, I'm not advocating war but we are not making any concessions either.

>>23932834
Corpses rot, into a very nasty mush. Hundreds of bodies will leak like an open wound. The blood and filth will almost certainly leak into the river following existing water patterns, and any rain will exasperate this.

I certainly hope you don't expect those prisoners to live, all the rotting flesh will be an ammonia hazard.

>>23932882
Because they can fuck up armored troop transports, how?

You're advocating sending couple of unlucky sods to their deaths if something does happen. I do not like that.

>>23932898
likely the baron isnt looking for concessions and even if he does lets hear him out first

>>23932862
Yepp, agreed and aye. Also to clarify, the third man (not banner or radio) carries a ring so they can actually talk.

if he wants to talk, we can arrange that to everyone liking.
If he wants to fight its already prepared.
But it doesnt hurt trying to preserve our mens lives

>>23932891
Because, if he decides hes just going to get killed attacking us with such a small force, he will bugger off. And the larger empire may not consider us a major threat unless we butcher this force. And then we can get reinforcements in the meantime. Enough savages can overrun any army.

>>23932918
just burn them what the hell is the problem?

>>23932834
>we'll take a few no doubt
I don't think there'll be nearly enough to clear hundreds of corpses in a single day, even if we get the village and our men involved (who'll be exhausted from the fighting).

>>23932925
They have mages you fuckwit, we dont know what they can do.

>>23932898
No, but they have been fighting several wars on several fronts for a very long time. Successfully, meaning that while it might take a while. Going up against them with maybe a company or two's worth of reinforcements a month is suicide

Of course. The message should be that the Reich comes in peace and wishes to cooperate, but when you fuck with it you get wrecked m8.

>>23932918
Sure, if this was WWI and we were leaving those corpses out for about a week.

>>23932970
Ugh, I forget to take off the dice.

>>23932945
Smoke I presume, would be a hazard, since we won't have the manpower to collect them all into a single location.

The great smoke would also attract who knows what to our location. I'd assume the dragons or monsters would be interested in the smell of burnt flesh.

>>23932948
I thought we were burning them?

Proper burials are for people we actually care about, honest German Citizens.

>>23932970
>Comes in peace and wishes to cooperate
I'd say we come in peace and demand cooperation.

>>23932956
>>23932967

And we have a billion snipers aiming their weapons at them and the moment they try something, their magical brains will be splattered across other troops.
So what's the problem?

>>23932982
So? Let the monsters have it, what do we care for the corpses of our foe?

>>23932948
>>23932972
Alright, do we or do we not have the manpower to clean up hundreds of bodies before they fester? (assuming we take very few prisoners).

>>23932982
>>23932948
>>23932945
>>23932918
I think we should worry about living soldiers gutting us before we worry about dead soldiers.

>>23933012
I'd say we do, especially if we're burning them.

>>23932982
Then mass graves, Jesus, you're making a problem when there is none.

>since we won't have the manpower to collect them all into a single location.
Yeah 250+ people we have are not enough to drag 500+ bodies?

>>23932698
You have a pair of armored cars, as well as FlaK 38 guns. You also have a Flakpanzer IV and the aforementioned Panzer.

>>23932595
>>23932620
>>23932747
>>23932797
You could ride out with a squad of eight if you desire. What form of transport will you utilize to reach the army's front lines?

>>23932692
>>23932792
>>23932675
>>23932627
Your men currently have full stocks of on-hand ammunition, plus the additional crates of clips and magazines, as well as ammo belts, being brought up to the walls. Your warehouse isn't being emptied, however, to enable reserves to be distributed where needed. Your men have plenty of ammo, though, and are continuing to stock up as the Baron's forces likewise prepare.

You truly are in a position where either option seems viable. As it is, however, your forces report that there seems to be a carriage of some sort at the rear of the army, near the mages and siege engines. It's the only carriage of its type, and prominently displays some sort of royal pennants from it. The carriage is stopped at the moment.

As you debate the merits of opening fire, you elect to dispatch the three-man team. You can always mow them down if negotiations don't go well, but for now, your small party advances. Dr. Buren and Siegfried, with a radioman, begin to advance over the open field. The enemy's front lines, consisting of a number of men armed with wooden shields and spears, stare warily at the advancing men. Siegfried and Dr. Buren are unarmed, but the radioman has an MP40 in his hands.

>>23933015
>>23933010
Very well, I'll get back to prepping the medical tents for any of our casualties.

Thankfully I don't expect that to be very many.

>>23933031
250 against 500? Huh, I thought the odds were far worse. This won't be an issue then.

>>23933003
We dont know if the mages have a way to counteract our bullets. Lets not find out the hard way.

>>23932925
I agree with this guy, we should spare a vehicle of some sorts. Arriving on foot is probably a sign of poverty, seeing as knights and such had to pay for their own steeds.

>>23933003
So, your version includes charging in.
Throwing away all possibilities of peacefull cooperation.
Overplaying our hand.
Having the Empire dedicate mages to fuck with our weapons (remember the daemon that could make guns unable to function? that is a problem)

Throw us into a war while only just at a company level.

Either way men will die, if he wants them to.
All we can do is try to minimize the losses if it goes bad and pray for the best.
I don't quite like it either

>>23932399
Missing three buildings I believe OP:

As for buildings projects, lets get that sorted after this thing with the baron passes.

>>23933037
The radioman contacts you as they approach, Siegfried bearing the flag with a stern look upon his robed features.

The radio maintains an open frequency as the man in charge of it relays what's being said. The front wall of infantry stare at the three Germans...

And then Siegfried says something in the local tongue, a word the radio transmits but your own ring fails to translate. Reports proceed to file in that the enemy's front line is parting, the soldiers stepping back to each side.

"WHO DARES SETTLE IN THE LANDS OF BARON FARNSWORTH?" The voice booms, loud enough to echo through the area and across the radio transceiver. Siegfried and Dr. Buren say nothing for now, but the radioman narrates what's going on in exacting detail. The kind someone very worried uses, but only for a moment. His voice becomes slightly confused.

"He's..." A pause, "... He's a child, Oberst. A young boy. Perhaps twelve years old-- God above, are they pulling a prank on us?" The German soldier asks, "Siegfried and Dr. Buren both bowed... Uhh, me too, sir. He's got a bunch of hooded men with him, plus a couple knights. The kid's dressed in some pretty fancy clothes compared to the smelly tatters the rest of these folks are in."

A pause, Siegfried opening his mouth to speak, but the young boy's voice echoes over the radio again.

"You have established your settlement on the soil of the Empire, and I, Baron-Colonel Farnsworth of the Empire,, demand you explain your presence, lest I see fit to wipe your presence from this sovereign soil!"

>>23933031
>our 250
>them 500
Oh well then this won't even be a battle, it'll be a slaughter. Cripes, from what some of you were saying last thread you made it feel like we were outnumbered 3 to 1 or something.

>>23933037
>Dr. Buren and Siegfried, with a radioman
>Dr. Buren and Siegfried,

What?!
No one asked to send those two with such a measly force!

>>23933060
>Oil Refinery added, thank you.
>Base PA/Lighting are automatically included.
>No trench has been built, as far as I can recall.

>>23933037
Have them try and remain close to the vehicle if they need to make a quick getaway

>>23933037

If not, make it so!

"while you were standing here waiting for us we have positioned our artillery it is ready to rain hell on your men we have a mage in the camp ready to counterspell yours and marksmen in the trees to pick them off i suggest you change your tone we are only here to parley child.

>>23933098
Indeed it is, Oberst, though the enemy army seems a bit confused by the music blasting from all directions. The foreign language seems to make many of them think you're preparing a spell of some kind, if the bits of side conversation you catch from the envoy's radio are any indicator.

>>23933068
Oh great, a kid noble leading an army through nepotism alone.

Damn, I thought this would be easiy.

>>23933069
Once again. They have a force of mages. plus they can always bring more eventually

>>23933088
It was built along with the basic MG nests and the wooden palisade if I remember correctly.

>>23933068
Some punk kid ay...Where is Eric?

>>23933037
I suggest

1) Send a group of men (Radio for Reich music, Flag, Ring etc) on a vehicle to meet with Farnsworth and find out what he wants. They do NOT have the authority to make decisions on our behalf, they are there to find out what this chucklefuck wants and report back to us.

2) If we don't like what he has to say, or can't see ourselves sticking to it, we attack in full force, seizing Farnsworth but (more importantly) the royal carriage.

3) Send the Commandos to the city to sieze any family members before we attack. The number of guards will be severely depleted.

>>23933109
Once again, a wonderful idea Hellbron. Maybe we should include a map of exactly where they are positioned while we are at it. And maybe a list of our numbers and a map of the camp too.

>>23933068
Wait guys, we have to be careful.

For all we know nobility are actually some kind of immortal superhuman? For all we know he's not some punk kid, but a warhardened baron who's seen a few wars.

>>23933068
"Please, inform the baron that if he wishes for talks all he needed to do is ask.
Threats and shouting will not help anyone in a situation like this. Offer him a proper talk with our commanding officer. Perhaps in between our lines?

>>23933159
Even if that's true, it's of no consequence. I don't care if he's 12 or 120, if he won't agree to some terms he's of no use to us in anything other than ransom.

>>23933159
Why would he be in the guise of a kid? Regardless we've seen no such evidence of these kinds of abilities, and anticipating it before it happens will be useless worrying.

>>23933175
I second this suggestion. This punk kid will be an excellent ally if he is brought up as a good national socialist!

What does he look like by the way, Aryan?

>>23933175
"Guaranteed safety from both sides, diplomatic immunity. All of that, naturally. We are civilized people after all, and neighbors shouldn't quarrel"

>>23933185
Well, elves can live to a hundred years and still look like children, and we've seen elves.

>>23933147
jesus christ we have the upper hand and if he starts to move on the forest we just mow him down get that rod out of your ass will you?

>>23933068
Are you waiting on us, mein Oberst? I pressume that since we sent Siegfried and Buren to speak on their behalf that we're just listening in.

If that isn't the case...

"We come from the glorious nation of Germany. We are here to trade and share the knowledge of our lands in exchange for yours, that we may all benefit from this exchange of cultures.

"We are surprised that you have arrived in such force. We sent Eric to request trade with your peoples, not a declaration of war"

>>23933175
>>23933198
>>23933201

I can only see this going downhill. This kid does not seem the type to negotiate. I think we should prepare to attack.

>>23933232

I disagree. We should get Siegfried out now, any further communication between our parties is going to blow up in our own faces.

Get Seigfried back, destroy the foe, seize the town.

>>23933240
We are fully prepared for an attack Herr Reich Citizen; so there is no harm in simply talking to the lad.

Especially if he is of good racial stock.

>>23933240

This. While I'm all for the diplomatic route, this brat seems too hot headed. Try to have the tank aim at his position. See if we can take him down once the battle starts.

>>23933240
Maybe, maybe he has advisers who enjoy negotiations.
Maybe he likes some bribes.
Maybe we are just lucky.
Either way, we loose nothing but time for trying, and it might yield a wonderful crop.

Either way its "nothing to loose, alot to gain"

>>23933215
For all we know, even the elves here don't age like that.

>>23933276
But then whose going to order the surrender?

>>23933222
Its important not to get arrogant, every time a low tech army has beaten a high tech one has been when the high tech side was arrogant and assured of victory. We don't need to let on more then we have to.

>>23933287
You think this kid will surrender even when his men are being slaughtered?

>>23933287

Any man with sense will surrender once they see how effortlessly we obliterated their leader and ,most likely, his advisors in the blink of an eye

>>23933280
While i agree that further diplomacy makes sense, what we have to lose is the diplomatic team, and the car.

"Where is Eric?" You ask the radioman, the soldier peering around for a moment. "I don't see him, sir." He informs you quietly, Siegfried and Buren both speaking up as you feed them orders.

"Please inform the Baron that if he wishes for talks, all he need to do is ask." You speak up from the radio unit, the Baron's voice shrill as he replies.

"Who said that?" He inquires, "... Where are you, foreigner?"

"I come from the glorious nation of Germany-- we are here to do trade. We sent Eric to request trade with your peoples, not a declaration of war."

"Hmph. Eric." The young boy states dismissively, "I knew he was a traitor. Good thing I've had him thrown in the dungeons where he belongs!" The boy remarks imperiously.

"I wish to speak with you on neutral grounds-- will you meet me halfway between our two sides?" You ask, the young man pausing.

"Very well-- Even if only to hear your terms of surrender." He states arrogantly, "I will meet you halfway to your little fort. My mages tell me you have a great wealth of magic materials: Bring it with you, so I need not venture inside."

>>23933280
A wonderful crop like what? The MOST I can see him agreeing to is allowing us to stay on 'his' land, and even then he'll want to charge us a lease of some sort and ask for assistance should his town come under attack. Fuck that.

Kill him, seize the town. Turn over it's resources and manpower to our own ends. Become BFFs with Seigfried

>>23933276
>>23933311
>>23933315
Lets call that plan "b"
for "Blow them up"
okay?

>>23933301
no but convincing him that battle is futile without having to show it to him is important for future diplomatic relations we got set the line

>>23933333
Indeed we do, so there is no sense attacking when they are out in the open like that.

Dat fifths!

>>23933338
To hell with this kid. Ask for our diplomats to return so that we can 'confer'.

Kill the kid and anyone in the higher ranks, decimate the army. Look into installing Eric as a puppet leader of the town.

>>23933338
Okay, I'm coming around to the Kill the Brat side.

He's thrown out good buddy Eric into the dungeons; I think Eric would make a much better Baron-Vassal for us. What do you think Herr Reich Citizens?

>>23933338
Well that settles it. He's a punk kid living on dad's money. Kill the army, take him alive.

A hostage would make excellent leverage.

>>23933338
meet him halfway he will be within rifle range at that point anyway wont he? radio for a wehrmarcht marksman to keep a bead on him.

>>23933345
Trading with him, slowly indoctrinating him.

Getting acsess to thousends of low grade manual labours for largescale projects.
being able to invest in infrastructure and growth rather then pure military for defending our turf.

Short term: good
possible long term: better

>>23933333

>stick in the ass
>33333

Okay, so someone is going to have a sore day. Let's not make it us.

>>23933386
>>23933383
If we take him hostage, we can use him to barter for Eric. He may be alive for what we know.

>>23933347
He likely doesn't know what snipers or artillery are. While i doubt convincing him of the futility would work, we should at least be more vague about our plan of attack, rather than telling him what we are targeting.

>>23933383
do it but meet him outside anyway
>>23933388

>>23933383
Has my vote, but to make it clear he should be leader in name only. We're taking this town for ourselves.

>>23933383
I must confess that I'm beginning to side with you aswell. It is beginning to look dark...

>>23933388
Yes, what a lovely coincidence that my offer would put him within the killing field and thus provide us with the ability to blow his head of if things go badly.

>>23933409
he doesnt know what snipers are but marksmen were a common term back then

>>23933398
>Take kid hostage
>Make him watch as we turn his 'army' into chunks
>Return to town, put him into the dungeons and get Eric out
>Nazis are good guys

>>23933435
>Make Erik the new baron after we have the kiddy step down
Hr'd make an excellent puppet.

>>23933435
Exactly.

Tell the townsmen that abusive tyranical child no longer rules them, and free the victim Eric as their knew ruler who knows of their plight.

Hearts and minds people.

>>23933435
this also snipe the mages to risky to let them live.

>>23933424
Naturally. We need the manual labour and they need an education in the glorious ways of National Socialism; its win-win.

>>23933388
If the negotiations go sour, let him return back to his army (as long as our diplomats and we are safe) rather than breaking faith. We may need to negotiate again with others, and its best not to soil our reputation.

>>23933393

>indoctrinating
Cool, so we spoil a brat with some 20th century goodies. How do we make him ours?

>access to labourers
Which we can get anyway, and in great quantity if we crush him now. Plus not paying as much for it.

>infrastructure and growth for defence, not military
The hell are you on, son? We have 20th century weapons, let's us them.

>>23933435
Dont forget to do some goodwill work for the locals, hearts and minds (and proper bridges)

that sort of thing goes a long way for preventing us as being seen as the "alien/foreign invader"

IF (most likely) the talks go badly.
Which they probably will.
But a man can still have hope

>>23933435
> dat irony when i advocated taking the town in the first place which would have made us bad guys.

>>23933465
if negotiations go badly he will most likely try and attack us especially if we refuse to hand over our materials which we will

>>23933338

...guys if we actually make diplomacy work with this little shit, we deserve a goddamn commendation.

Tell him to fuck off about bringing out our magic rocks. Inform him that while we are here to trade, learn and teach, we are warriors as well and will not yield before a boy such as him.

This may not be the brightest thing to say but I want to make the brat shut up.

>>23933471
It would have started shit, and we did not know how they could react or how meager the force he would bring is.

>>23933471
>>23933489
i suggest after we rout his army we wait for reinforcements

>>23933466
Again my friend.
they have magic.

which is a literal wild card, we have no ideas how it may work, or what it might be able to do. the only indications we have are:

Daemon able to make weapons useless.
Magi Arthur accidentally turning every piece of advanced tech off.
Magi Arthur teleporting himself and his bribes away

can you really blame me for being careful?

>>23933468
Honestly, the talks going badly are
1) Inevitable: This kid is already after our unconditional surrender, and short of destroying his army we have no way of showing him thats not going to happen.

2) In our best interests: We can get so much more from using force than diplomacy in this case. You really haven't come up with a good explanation as to why diplomacy will benefit us here.

>>23933471
Yup, and now we're heros! Returning to free the people of a petty tyrant while also improving their way of life!

Water pumps, hot showers, proper sewers and insulated buildings for all towns-folk! The Nazi Party and its glorious Führer have come to save the day!

>>23933510
Didn't our hired wizard say last thread he could neutralize their magic?
If anything I doubt they could react faster than a speeding bullet to their skulls, we have snipers with beads on them.

>>23933489
I said to waist him if he tries anything. But if he conducts himself with basic courtesy then we should as well. Plus is he does return to his army safely only to watch it disintegrate, he may be more willing to listen. He should be the one to dishonor himself first.

>>23933434

Fucking this.

>>23933507
Absolutely not, move quickly and seize the town as soon as possible. Not doing so puts Eric at risk, but even worse might actually give the Empire a chance to clue onto what the hell is going on.

>>23933510
we have the scientist who said he could amp his powers enough with our materials to counteract their spells for some time enough time for the wirbel and p4 to roll out and decimate this little shits 'army'

>>23933527
>waist him

Yeah, he's gonna be so fat once we're done with him!

>>23933519
Actually, that sounds like a good idea now. As long as we can make sure his mages aren't shielded with what we know about magic, then lets get everyone back to base and light them the fuck up.

Okay. My plan for SHTF:
Mow down the army without before the Baron gets back to it.
Have the SS capture him alive
Make him free Erik and step down in his favor.
Erik will be grateful and we'll have a great puppet. Especially since he's highly impressed by our technology.

>>23933519
Well then allow me to put this bluntly.

Negotiating and doing this charade shows people we are WILLING to negotiate.

Meaning at a LATER point they will have reason to TALK rather then ATTACKING because the last time a nobleman came to talk WE BLEW HIS HEAD OFF without provocation. As they will see it.

There. If you wish to ignore all other things, be my guest. But please, accept that.

>>23933520
It will be northern Poland all over again, flowers and parades and such.

>>23933539
yes and we dont know if he has men back there waiting will give us acess to artillery rendering his walls uselless and elite gebirsjaegers light infantry that can scale its walls the night before an assault and take it with no losses.

>>23933554
Yes yes. Tucking Fypos

>>23933559
if this guy acted the same towards the other nobles they will understand why we did it and give us another chance

>>23933424
>>23933429
>>23933435
>>23933452
>>23933454
>>23933465

>>23933468
>>23933510
You currently seem to be of the thought of either capturing or assassinating the child Baron, an idea that your officers seem willing to accept, albeit with the obvious associated risks.

Gunther, over the radio, speaks up. "We could knock out those siege engines, if you want, with some well-placed satchel charges and suppressing fire. Mages, too, in the process. Could also try capturing them, if you can keep the army's front occupied enough."

The Baron in question, indeed a child, according to observer reports, is currently heading towards the middle ground with a pair of robed men at his flanks, as well as a quartet of knights in full plate armor.

All of them within easy range of your wall's riflemen and machine gunners.

>>23933561
Honestly I hope so. I hated Warsaw and patrolling the south of Poland. I'm s glad I got transferred here.

>>23933559
Okay okay folks.

Lets finish having a chat to this kid, if only to prove that we can. After which, we take him hostage, destory his army in front of him and then go and take the town and free Eric.

Agreed?

>>23933596
the p4 and wirbel should give us enough time to capture the mages.

>>23933596
Don't touch those mages, who knows what shit they'll unleash if they're not immediately killed. If it boils down, shoot them first before anything.

>>23933596
Have the machine gunners and riflemen carefully take aim. If it comes down to a fight against mages, we'll want to finish them before they can begin incantations.

Order Gunther to be ready to do so, but hold off for now.

>>23933570
We already know that we can easily infiltrate the town, our recon told us that make. Once we deal with this army (and the idiot kid has probably brought almost every guy he has) the town will be open wider than the legs of a Peruvian whore.

>>23933596
No really, let him be the one to start shit. We cant ruin our reputation, and odds are he's only a figurehead puppet as many child rulers were.

>>23933596
Target the mages first! They are an unknown that we don't need in this battle.

So, we're officially declaring war on the Empire now right? The Duke or whoever is the Baron's father will not be pleased at all.

>>23933596

Tell him he tries our patience and...

Nah fuck it. Once he's close enough waste his guards and capture him. Make him watch as we dismantle his army piece by piece. Then do as the other guy said and throw him into the dungeon while making Eric step up as our puppet ruler.

>>23933628
mhhhm peruvian whores.

>>23933596
We might not be even able to capture mages, their too big a threat and a variable. Eliminate them.

>>23933613

Seconding this.

>>23933596
"If the baron decided to have his men killed there wont be a front for to long Gunther.
Please proceed with your plan as you please, but no unnecessary risks for you or your men. I'd rather have one dead magician then three good men turned to mush and one captured one. Good hunting"

Lets go and meet us a baron!
best thing to do would be to match his entourage, 2 advisors and 4 *guards*.

No marble/quartz/platinum, naturally.

>>23933596
Tell Gunther to take no risks, Mages go down first. Then they can target the siege engines.

Meet the kid with a complement of troops, listen to his bullshit, go back to base. Attack.

>>23933596
Lets drive down to the middle ground with a squad of soldiers. We ask him to become our vassal, he'll refuse. We do a hand signal, take out his bodyguards and order our sharpshooters to take out the mages.

Then open a can of whoop-ass on his army.

>>23933649
I'd still talk to him. Tell him that he tries our patience and if he continues to do so, his army will be annihilated.

>>23933639
>>23933647
We can get Eric and the oppresed townsmen to vouch it was the Barons fault, that won't be an issue.

>>23933649
We don't have to capture him until after the battle. we can always round him up after he watched his army get curbstomped. And then we wont be the ones seen as acting like assholes.

>>23933338

It seems I've arrived just in time.

Put our heavy vehicles in ready firing positions while we ride to meet with him.

If the kid insists, we offer surrender to momentarily placate him, then fuck his shit up when he lets his guard down. I don't care how well their mages are prepared, they won't be ready for a tank shell - make sure the panzer is trained on their group to immediately take out their leadership + as many mages as possible.

And then the conquest is on, motherfuckers.

>>23933693
We're only keeping the kid alive in case he's a relative to someone important right? He's worth bugger all otherwise.

>>23933699

As for his demand to see our magical devices, tell him we have too many to simply bring them out. To keep him happy bring mundane electronics, no combat material.

>>23933676
How do we know Eric isn't loyal regardless of being treated like shit? Stranger things have happened.

>>23933672
That's a good idea. We'll have to make sure that he can't flee.

>>23933725
If things go shit in the next Empire encounter, then just rinse and repeat what we're doing here.

>>23933729
We can catch the little shit if he tries. We have halftracks, he has a stagecoach.

>>23933693

Eh, I suppose. I just don't want to give him a chance of escape. icecesay pomfret

>>23933736
And what happens if the next empire encounter is 50 000 men?

>>23933708

Yes, and also I want to put him down a notch. little turd should learn some humility before we execute him

>>23933708
And as an asset. If we tell him to become our vassal or die he will, albeit grudgingly, accept.

>>23933773
We do have artillery coming... But lets hope that that doesn't happen.

When we install Eric as Baron, have him send a letter to the local Duke with a bribe of quartz. There has been a leadership change, don't worry about it.

>>23933773
We waste them.

We've got enough barbed wire laid out, tanks, artillery, and ammunition to hold off a force much larger

>>23933773
By the time the Empire gets together any organized response (if they even figure out what happened), we'll have had fair few loads of reinforcements come in.

>>23933773

>implying the wall of corpses our weapons would create wouldn't make them break like frightened children

The empire has enemies. If they make us their enemy, we'll gain a lot of friends.

>>23933799
No way, there is no chance we are making this immature 12-year-old our puppet. You know he's going to rebel first chance he gets.

Eric seems a better choice, provided we can convince him to swear fealty to the Reich.

>>23933799
I somehow doubt he won't try to betray us. He's a stupid kid after all, doesn't know what's good for him.

>>23933814
We only have one tank, and no heavy arty. And Tens of thousands of men would overrun us long before we could shoot them all, regardless of ammo

>>23933839
Unfortunately those friends likely comprise mostly of filthy sub-humans.

Maybe a Non-Aggression Pact in the near future?

>>23933867
If they were insanely fearless yes, but there's no way men in closed ranks are even going to reach our lines when their fellows are being mowed down by the thousands all around them.

>>23933843
>>23933860
You're right, Erik is a better choice.

>>23933868
Enemies that we can assume are getting their heads kicked in by the empire.

>>23933867
But like anon said earlier, by the time they send thousands of men we'll be heavily reinforced.

Maybe we can finally convince Hitler about our desperate situatoin to lend us some Mustard Gas rounds, all the men in the world won't get past that.

>>23933868
>Unfortunately those friends likely comprise mostly of filthy sub-humans.

They'll make useful cannon fodder.

>Maybe a Non-Aggression Pact in the near future?

I'll certainly keep diplomacy open as our first option. Our biggest problem is that we don't have a magical-capable force yet. Besides expanding our industrial output to exploit the plentiful resources for the war back home, we should concentrate on improving the magical laboratory.

>>23933773
>50 000
Since we are allowed certain more "modern" armaments as prototypes, I'm sure we can procure a V1 or even a V2 rocket for use.
>that glorious sound before the rocket lands

>>23933867
Like I said above:

>Install Eric as Reich-Baron
>Have him send a bribe to local Duke
>Empire is off our backs...for while

>>23933908
Fuck mustard gas. Sarin, Tobun, VX etc. are the stuff we want.

>>23933895
We couldn't even make a dent in even 10000 men if they charged us. Not counting Mages and Cavalry.

>>23933908
I think Gas is a bad choice, a clever mage would just blow it right back in our faces.

>>23933930

>>23933930

oh mein gott yes. It would probably be hard to get but if we ever need to instill fear in our enemies this is the tool to use.

>>23933933
Best solution so far. But i still think we should treat the little puke with some honor until he gives us a good reason not to. We can waste his army regardless of him commanding it or not

>>23933963
Then put on our masks, and let them come and get us.

>>23933974
We have agreed. We're driving out to meet Kid-Baron with a small retinue of soldiers. Waiting on OP to write-fag atm.

>>23933953
>We couldn't even make a dent in even 10000 men if they charged us

>250 men firing automatic weapons + 2 flak tanks and 1 normal tank couldn't make a dent

Is you serious?

>>23933974

Ok. Lets offer him surrender. Once he refuses (he will, no doubt) let him return to his army. Kill everything except the brat and some mages if it's not impractical. Capture them interrogate them. Then strike Redding and install a puppet governor, preferably Eric.

Everyone, yes or no?

>>23934020

Agreed, assuming no dramatic changes to situation.

>>23934020
Yup. For the Reich gentlemen!

Also, next supply cycle, we need some SS political officers to educate Eric and the towns-folk in National Socialist ideals.

>>23934020
I agree. yes.

And barbed wire, don't forget the barbed wire.

They have magic, and 10000 is nothing to scoff at. It would be a total meatgrinder, but a determined assault could cause trouble for us.

Your men take targets, Gunther and his own troops lining up their shots. The MG34 is braced against a tree trunk as your men, up on the fort's walls, line up their rifles with appropriate targets. The young Baron and his escorts are met by your own group, Siegfried and Dr. Buren, accompanied by a smattering of Wehrmacht men at your flank, gather around you. The Baron looks you up and down with a sneer.

"I see no materials." He remarks. The two hooded men remain silent to either side of the tiny Baron. "Are you foreigners thick as well as foolish?"

"No. Actually," You state simply, "We are very, very wise. We sent Eric to discuss trade with you, and you had him imprisoned, Baron Farnsworth. You came here with an army, when I only wanted to discuss trade."

You pause, considering your next words and actions.

The Baron lets out a shrill noise, "WHO SAID YOU COULD TALK BACK TO ME?!" He asks, "These are my lands! MINE!" He states, stomping his foot down. "You can't just move in and talk to ME like you're MY better! I'm YOUR better! Now! You're going to show me your magic items, and maybe I'll give you a pittance of gold for your fancy wands and staves." He remarks dismissively, gesturing at the sidearm at your hip.

He sneers at you, "Even though mine are much better."

>>23934068
*most of OUR men have bolt action rifles. That sounded stupider than it should have.

>>23934020
Yes, perfect.

>>23934075
"Then I'm afraid then I'm afraid these negotiations are at an end, Baron Farnsworth."

Kill the mages, kill the army, kill everyone but him.

>>23934075
oh dear god is he trying to piss us off?

>>23934075
Okay that settles it. "I'll go find these items for you then Baron, please wait here."

Everyone goes back to our base, then open up on them.

>inhumanity
Yes catchpa, we are Nazis after all...

>>23934020
Letting those who surrender live might be good if we are ever at someones mercy

>>23934104
I like the way you think. Death or glory, time to light these asshats up.

>>23934075

> laughingnazis.png

>>23934020
Yes.

>>23934075

I'm done with this punk.

Raise your hands in acquiescence. "I apologize if I have offended, my lord. We are unfamiliar with the ways of your people, and we desire peace and trade, not war. We have many magical items; allow us a moment to retrieve some of the best selection."

>we walk back to camp
>when we are at a safe distance, unleash hell

>>23934075
Why in God's name do we continue to parlay with this child - this fool - this untermensch. Let his army taste the righteous fires of the Glorious Empire of Gemany.

>>23934104
Something along those lines, yes.

>>23934147
this

>>23934120
Bah, we need slaves for menial labour more than the possibility of defeated soldiers liking us.

>>23934075

>>23934020
I think we've decided, mein Oberst.

>>23934147
No reason to employ sneaky tactics. Do
>>23934104
instead.

>>23934174
Wait, do we kill him or do we not?

I agree with.>>23934104

>>23934147
if that fails take him hostage and get back to our lines then open fire at the idiots then torture the baron in front of his surviving men men as a lesson. Use his men as slave labor

>>23934172
He said "live", not "leave".

>>23934147
>>23934147

Do this. Kill the mages, snipe the two men next to the baron, then have some rush the fuck out there and grab him.

>>23934189
>torture
No, we need him alive and unharmed as ransom. In all likelyhood, Eric might be a better puppet ruler, but there's no reason we couldn't indoctrinate him as a puppet general as well.

>>23934187

We don't kill him. We kill his army when he goes back to it. We have no need to tarnish our honour to win, and an honorable reputation may prove useful.

Time to start shooting once everyone is back at base. Though this could be a trap on the OPs part by making us want to fuck him up, but i really see no other option. We cant give up our stuff.

>>23934104
il support this to get things moving along

but we should keep him alive as a bargaining chip gag him and tie him down in the stables with a guard looking over him that will teach him some respect.

>>23934214
How are we going to have any reputation after this battle when only the Baron will survive?

>>23934189
Show mercy whenever possible. We may be the ones in deep shit next time.

>>23934187

These nobles are used to special treatment. They're used to being ransomed. He doesn't think he is in any danger even if he somehow loses.

Teach any noble that would dare cross our path that their lineage stops at the point of our guns. Kill him.

>>23934232
Because there are probably going to be survivors from the army

>>23934227
Oh no no no, we must honor the rules of warfare. He's royalty, and if the Empire learns we treat their royalty like horses we throw out all diplomatic posibilities.

Granted we won't give him any such royal treatment, but a bunk room and three square meals is all we need. Maybe even school him into one of us.

>>23934238
see this
>>23934227

inb4 this is all some sort of ruse made by the Empire and the real baron to test us

>>23934213
>>23934236
i guess that is a bit extreme although i feel maybe make him work his ass off amongst his men? show that he is nothing compared to us

>>23934238
Alright, break off all ties with the Empire in an all out war?

I like it.

>>23934232

We use the Baron to bargain, of course, and if he can vouch for our honour others will be more inclined to cooperate. Plus, perhaps others such as Magi Arthur are using their magics to watch this event.

And also I don't want to roleplay an asshole if I don't have to.

>>23934238
Disowning him would be far more useful to our cause. Nobody says he can't have an accident later.

>>23934251
Gentleman.

This man has propsed a way gain us a new Fuhrer. Not the brat of course. We indoctrinate him, force him to sign over his title and.....

We have a Fuhrer.

You know what we do from there

So options are kill him or keep him alive

this kid isnt likely to vouch for us hes probably so stupid that right after the handoff he will yell at the soldiers to strike us down for dishonoursing him soo i say we do what i suggested earlier and treat him like the scum he is

>>23934318
Capture him alive and unharmed with the benefits of prisoners of war.

>>23934286
No, we waste Farnsworths army and hopefully bribes of quartz will keep them from zerging us until we have a large enough force to defend ourselves. If things go to shit with the empire we need to hold them off until we can retreat through the gate (several days at the least), and the current force is insufficient if they really hate us.

>new fuhrer
Herr Kommisar! Another traitor in our midst.

All glory and title goes to the Fuhrer and Sacred Germany. Heil Hitler.

>>23934318
As >>23934330 said, capture and treat him according to the Geneva Conventions.

>>23934318
Capture and indoctrinate

>>23934326
dishonouring* god its getting late...

>>23934299

That's very true.

Keep him alive if it's convenient.

>>23934326
If we show mercy to his surviving army (as we should, for reasons not limited to honor) Then they will hopfully vouch for us. With luck the other nobility will have had unpleasant experiences with farnsworth.

>>23934311
Traitor!!

I'm calling the SS squad as we speak.

>>23934378
his soldiers should not suffer for the insolence of this brat but he needs to be put in his place

>>23934311

actually if they are of decent blood and in good physical shape we can retrain any captives to fight for us if we show them honour and treat them well

>>23934402
We don't need to slaughter them to a man, just give them a big old German bitchslap.

>>23934349
Geneva Conventions: didn't come out untill after the war but i assume you mean treat him humanly and all?

>>23934432

>>23934435
>Geneva convention
>First convention 1864
>After the War

We have a new village idiot.

>>23934075
after we capture him we are spanking his ass raw

>>23934435
Actually, there were 3 versions before the current, which was written down in 1949.

>>23934461

The mind magic is still highly underdeveloped, and we've been warned that it would take an expert to implement it without negative consequences. We'd turn his brains to mush.

Someone smack Hellbron already, and keep doing it until he learns how to type.

>>23934435
I said before, how we treat him depends on whether he is Aryan or not.

>>23934509
well that wouldnt make much difference from how he is now

>>23934544
He would lose that obnoxious little turd charm

so, we offer to show him our 'Magical Items', take him and his entourage into our base... then we begin teaching him proper German etiquette...

>>23934509
I yield to the psychological manipulation of the baron... though we could try psycotropics...

>>23934539
He's of noble blood, so naturally he'd have to be Aryan.

>>23934496
my mistake

>>23934560
oh god now we just sound like pedophiles
> hey lil man do you want to come back into my camp?
> ill show you my magical item

>>23934560
>>23934509
I'd think the mages of the Empire (not the ones we kill) would smell that a mile away.

>>23934560
No, we go back to our base, Leaving him standing there like an idiot. We waste his army while trying not to hit him (if not, sucks to be a baron sometimes) And then we round up prisoners.

>>23934594

I agree, let's keep things simple.

>>23934594
Yes, this has my vote.

>>23934594
No, we risk him running back to his army and into automaticfire.

Like >>23934104 said, kill everyone around him, hold him and make him watch as we waste his army.

>>23934594
fine with me

>>23934594
First thing that we need to build after this is over, prison factory-camp. It is time this world added to the industrial might of the Reich!

>>23934594
We spent 1/2 of the thread reaching an agreement that he's an asset alive.

I'm not going to let him be killed by machinegun fire after all that.

>>23934630
>>23934594

He's not really worth that much to us, so no point going too far out of our way to spare him. if we take him alive all the better, if he dies in the crossfire too bad.
