What's this about romance, Sctheel? I missed the few last threads and haven't had time to catch up yet, so I'm out of the loop.

>>32353820

What did people in the IRC say? I don't know where it was?

I said that there wouldn't be romance in the Quest and now I'm kind of regretting it.

Would like to hear thoughts about it, I try to tailor the Quest to player's wants.

>>32353900
Yeah, I don't mind the IRC existing but unlike QTG/threads/twitter there is no record of what's being said, so it's not very suitable for something like this.

>>32353900

>>32353920
I rather not have romance, so far it has caused a lot of grief not since now but even during the whole homecoming fiasco, Cute girls doing cute things is fine but this is getting out of hand

>>32353920
Well like we've said before Schteel, you're gonna have people cursing your name/crying of joy (perhaps slightly exaggerated) no matter what you go with, and it's not like people can't samefag incessantly on both sides to look like they're in the majority anyway. I would love some romance as long as it didn't dominate the threads and was slow burn, I'm sure some anons would hate it/wants the quest to be about it.

>>32353920

Ah, I see. That's kinda sad, but I coudl lvie with it. THough I do prefer to ahve at least some of it, you know...more plot hooks and sweet content.

Of course, there are always the casual one night stands instead of romance.

>>32353820
>> Commander’s Tent

>>32353920
I'd rather you did add it, but keep it in the background like it currently has been.

>>32353952
>so far it has caused a lot of grief
its only caused grief to those arguing for no reason

>Cute girls doing cute things is fine but this is getting out of hand
whats getting out of hand is how unrealistic the relationships are getting with every single thread GS doing his best to avoid all traces of romantic development which just makes the sexual tension in the air annoying.

I don't see any reason why not to have it when its not going to be the focus of the quest and take awaay from cute girls driving tanks

>>32353957
I got no problem with 'Trude helping other people with their romances, but she has way too much on her plate for her own relationships.

>>32353920
I like the no romance stance and I'd really like to avoid the associated drama, but it is your quest man, if you want to write dates and love triangles, that is your call.

>>32353920
my thoughts are

>>32353957
>I would love some romance as long as it didn't dominate the threads and was slow burn
this, like things have been progressing, nice and natural and organic, yet not detracting from TONKS

>>32353920
just make sure if you add in romance to not have it take center stage and this is coming from someone that wants it

>>32353920
Well you've waffled on it either way, really.

As has been addressed, looking for a consensus or solution that leaves everyone happy is impossible here., and you probably won't find a majority given people can just post post post. But I'll ask you this: what exactly would change if you included some romance, compared to what you're doing now? With all the /u/ fanservice/lewd discussions you include already, simply exchanging some or most of that 'screentime' as it were for actual romance scenes would leave the same amount of tankery, while satisfying yurifags more.

While there are still other arguments against it, I just can't see how either the 'takes up time' or especially the oft-repeated 'doesn't fit the quest' arguments have to be problems. I mean, does it really fit the quest less than talking about masturbation or nude painting shenanigans or whatever?

>>32353920
>>32353957
This anon has a point in regards to that people will hate you or love you. I do not want romance since I fear people will focus on that rather then the important things, like saving the school and tanks or at least put as a secondary concern in order to satisfy characters they want to see romanced.

The teasing the last couple of threads did not help in this case at all and probably aggravated the situation.

My thoughts on romance then will finalize at the end of the thread. I'm leaning towards having it but leaving it as a secondary thing. In the background until the last few threads so to speak.

> Commander’s Tent

You walk into the Commander’s tent. It’s actually bigger than your dorm, there’s a neat little cot for you to sleep, a table with maps of the battle area, an area to cook food, there’s even a shower for what it’s worth considering that it’s still chilly as fuck. You start unpacking your things.

You pull out your Grandad’s binoculars. Funny, you’ve been using these for quite some time now. They work, for sure. And yet, sometimes you forget you even have them. Quite the item though, makes you kind of wish you had known him. The man of Monte Cassino. You place them gingerly down on your cot.

Kitten pokes her head in. “Shit, this place is huge!”

You shrug. “It’s yours if you want it.”

“Hmph,” Kitten smiles. “Nancy is making us some breakfast. I’d recommend you change or something.”

You look down. It has been quite a while since you switched out this uniform.

>>32353920
I'm good with implied romance, so long as no bullshit is done and it's done well. Personally, though, I think it'd be best for any "payoffs" to come in the epilogue and that it doesn't necessarily need to be set in stone. If anyone wants to do more romantic things, it can be saved for write-ups.

One of the things that annoyed me about Blackjack's quest is that when players were choosing between Yukari and Miho, Blackjack made it clear that they needed to make a choice and that choice would be forever. It's almost like they were getting married forever, and that casual dating isn't a thing at all. Jeez.

>>32354079
>I'm leaning towards having it but leaving it as a secondary thing. In the background until the last few threads so to speak.
please do, I really want to see it in the quest but not have it detract from anything else, Trude's blueballs are getting to be as big as a schoolship

> Casual clothing

>>32353920
I'd like it as long as you just used the updates and writing you already give to /u/fanservice and the like for it instead of infringing on tankery stuff. But I'm an unrepentant /u/-fag so large bias here.

>>32354079

It is too late for casual, and too soon for our warface.

>>32354079
I don't think even the yurifags really want it as a primary focus, after all if they're still reading the quest then they like the other parts too right? I know the yurifag in me would have dropped it ages ago, yet the tankfag persists. Whichever way you go, it's nice of you to have an open discussion of your own views at least.

>>32354079

Missed the start of the thread. I'd rather have no romance until the epilogue. Why change a running and working system?

>I don't think even the yurifags really want it as a primary focus
I'm a blatant /u/fag and I'd be happy if the time we spent playing gay chicken with kitten merely turned into gay funtimes and not have any romance bits eat into other aspects of the quest

>>32354079
>I'm leaning towards having it but leaving it as a secondary thing. In the background until the last few threads so to speak.
I prefer the entirely epilogue plan, but that sounds tolerable, though I fear the waifu wars.

>>32354217
It'll be fine anon, there hasn't even been a tanksperg-war for ages! I still find it funny how those replaced the waifu wars after the ball/romance moratorium, guess we couldn't have nice threads after all!

>>32354217
not much of a war when everyone is pretty much matched up already

> Put on the Tankery Uniform

You decide on a warm pair of pantyhose to keep your ass from freezing in this environment. You check around the place first. Nothing to note, no scorpions, no bulldog ants, no drop bears, no box jellyfish nor koalas or kangaroos either. You’re in the clear. You press down the jacket of your uniform and head out, trenchcoat around your shoulders.

Your crews all gather around as Nancy and the Juniors, minus Marilyn, cook off some breakfast for everyone.

Marilyn says, “But I can cook!”

Betty says, “I’m sorry, Marilyn. You can’t.”

“I can!” says Marilyn. “I am a woman of the highest caliber! Why, Julia Child would praise my skills.”

Betty says, “Marilyn, the last time you cooked, we had a fourth member of the Council. Please.”

Nancy hands you a plate of pancakes with some strips of bacon and a bit of scrambled eggs. Your crews are sitting around fires and the like.

really? they both like trude, trude likes both, they are attracted to each other, and I'm sure trude is willing to share and can foster an agreement between them

>>32354453
Well I'm a monogamy fan but I'm not gonna throw a tantrum about it if it's what people vote for or whatever. Last thread didn't really make them seem particularly compatible though. Attraction alone isn't really enough, as they pointed out they have basically nothing in common.

>>32354090
I agree with this honesty I just want to avoid it since it might encourage them for more kitten or more fairless

“Hey girls,” you say.

All of them look at you, skeptical.

Nezumi says, “Pool-san. Nice to see you.” She points to the Aces. “Why do they get the Konigstiger?”

You say, “They’re our most experienced crew, they know how to operate it better than any of us.”

Assam asks, “Why don’t we get the Churchill?”

“Occupied,” you say.

Alisa says, “The Shermans-“

“Occupied.”

They all huff, except for Izumi.

“I don’t see why you’re all so sad!” says Izumi. “The Chi-Ha is an excellent tank.”

Nezumi says, “Yeah, and I’m Nishizumi Maho, funny joke, San-san.”

Assam smiles at you. “Well, it’s not a permanent assignment. I believe our next tank will be much more reliable and agreeable. Don’t you agree, Pool-san?”

>>32354816

BEST! IDEA!! EVER!!!

>>32354735

The tank prep and slice of life sessions are pretty segregated from one another. If anything, the slice of life would lean romance.

Before law few sessions, I was more than happy with the slice of life characterization, but I think recent events would make it a bit of cop out to sideline it entirely until the end

>>32354735
Imo, the best thing he can do is, at the end of relevant days, have a fade to black thing, as well as various cute hijinks for a few threads until people get over it in the setting. Maybe an ftb scene mid-day, but no real substance. That way, it's present, consistent, and given significantly LESS focus than the real reason we're here. Tonks

>>32354844
Or worst. Could go either way really.

> Boast

You nod. “Sure. I mean, I’ve never been in a T-34 but I assume it’s a neat tank considering they built more of them than the Sherman per say.”

Izumi says, “That’s because they were dirt cheap.”

Nezumi nodded. “Agreed. You don’t get quality with quantity.”

Assam says, “Now girls. The T-34 helped birth the Tiger and the Panther.”

“But-“ Nezumi groaned a bit. “Ugh! She’s right! Schiesse!”

You laugh a bit at that. “Didn’t know that myself.”

Alisa crosses her arms. “Well, 50,000 Shermans were built, and we sure got quality with quantity I would daresay, Nezumi-san!”

“How about you take your ronsons and shove them up your ass!” says Nezumi as she angrily chews on her pancakes.

Something I think should have been said is that the real reason she was promoted was because she managed to keep the meanest, unruliest crew on the whole ship in line. A few other disciplined, loyal crews should be a breeze, by comparison.

We should have the engineers breif the teams on cold weather plus mechanics. And have the Aces go over winter combat.

>>32354999
To be fair it's been a while since the nude painting and all that for example. As a /u/fag I prefer cute to raunchy anyway.

>>32355017
Supporting this. Charlotte needs a confidence booster.

>>32355030
Not even the nude painting. But some suggestions and dialogue involving dildos. Masturbation. And other stuff granted we managed to get by decently despite it but I fear it's going to get worse

>>32354999
We have. For the past 20 threads. Thus, let's get it over with. A romance is not out of line, can lead to more cuteness with all the raunchy happening off-camera, doesn't need to get in the way of Tonk, and can shut thos /u/boat fuckers up finally.

> Sit with another Crew (Last-Chancers)

“Hey, Charlotte. How are you girls doing?”

The Delinquents are warming themselves by a campfire. Abigail herself even has Kirby buttoned up in her jacket. Abigail says, “Doing okay.”

Elouise nods. “Yep.”

Maya says, “Totally.”

“Yeah,” says Benita.

…

“You’re all fucking scared aren’t you,” you say.

They all shrug and nod.

You say, “Don’t be. We’ll have a neat little plan for you all. And I hope that you will conform to it. I have the upmost faith in you guys, alright?”

“Yeah,” says Charlotte. “We’ll do our best.”

“Good,” you say.

I suspect it will only fester until we finally deal with it, which means cutting off both Kitty and Bernadette so they stop lusting after Trudy (which is not cute) or acquiescing to one of them.

You all end up in the Commander’s tent. “So, what’s up.”

Lisa, Ramirez, and Kitten look particularly serious about this as they sit on your cot. Nancy herself looks uncharacteristically stern. She says, “Gertrude, we’ve been thinking on this.”

Lisa says, “About the issue of the school shutting down.”

You cross your arms. “Oh?”

Nancy says, “We have to tell them.”

“No, we don’t,” says Lisa. “If we tell them, that’ll just put undue pressure on them, they won’t play at their best. Better to just let it lie and hope we make it through.”

Nancy says, “But if we don’t tell them, who knows what they might do out there! I mean, I have no doubt in our abilities against Pravda but, the next team in particular. And either Ooarai or Kursk Girls. That’s… that’s a tall order.”

Lisa stands up. “Nancy, the only people who know about this are the Aces and the Councils. They know what’s at stake. The Aces in particular as well.”

“But…” Nancy frowns. “It’s a sin to lie! Even by silence!”

Kitten shrugs. “I mean, whatever’s fine. I personally would like to keep them in the dark.”

We say nothing. If we start letting people know, they start talking. Word gets around. Other teams find out. How would you feel taking a shot at a flag tank knowing if you hit, that other school is gone, and if you miss, you've let your own team down.

Nobody needs that pressure.

Besides, I don't even want to think about the look on everybody's, and I mean EVERYBODY IN LGA, everybody's face before each match. The pressure, the fear, and worst of all, the resentment if we fail.

If nobody else knows, the can have this last year. And the people who get blamed are the people who decided to close LGA, not a group of girls who lost at sports.

> What about you, Ramirez?

You cross your arms, frowning. “Ramirez, you’ve been quiet on issues like this. I honestly can’t remember the last time you ever talked at length. What’s your opinion?”

Ramirez stands up. “My opinion is this. We should tell them, but not now. Not even after our match with Pravda. We wait until before the final match and then tell them. That way, we don’t lie to anyone by silence, and hopefully our crews will be a bit more loyal to us after the matches we’ve played. Nobody likes the pressure, and some crews will surely leave if we let them know what’s up.” She sits back down. “That’s just my two cents.”

Lisa points to Ramirez. “I’ll go with her on that.”

Nancy sighs, rubbing at her temples. “I mean… whatever is fine with you, Gertrude.”

“Alright then,” you say. “It’s settled.” You check the time. “When are we going to want to plan for the match tomorrow?”

Lisa says, “Probably over dinner.”

“Alright,” you say. “Dismissed then, all of you.”

You all head out of the Command Tent and out into the cold somewhat-Australian winter/summer thing. Breakfast has ended and your crews are more or less resigned to just sitting around and waiting. You can see Tank Transporters arrive with your tanks now as well.

“So, Dory, how are all of our tanks?”

Dory points to the recently converted M4A4. “The Magician’s M4A4 got turned into a Firefly before we left. As for the cold weather stuff, we’ve got anti-freeze. Wendy’s been helpful too with winterproofing a lot of the tanks too. The StuG’s grousers got replaced with Winterketten for now.”

Wendy walks up to you, pointing at the Panther. “We got the Schurzen on there too. The sideskirts should give it an edge over high explosive rounds. We also hung the tracks on the side of the turret for additional armor. Improvised but it’ll do.”

You nod. “Alright. What else is there?”

“The engines have been improved for a couple of tanks,” says Dory. “Hopefully, none of them breakdown in the snow or get tracked. Replacing the tracks in this kind of snow is going to be a nightmare.”

Wendy nods. “Even with an experienced crew, it could take over half an hour to replace tracks in these kinds of conditions. So if you get tracked, you’re basically done for.”

Dory nods. “Yeah, not feeling confident considering we don’t have a turret.”

Betty says, “We’re eager to get out there!”

Cathy says, “We’ll do what we can!” She snaps her finger. “We’re young and old together, we shall not be moved…” All of you look at her. “You know, we shall not be moved? Pete Seeger?”

Fairless shrugs. “Anyway, Gertrude. We’re ready for the match.”

“Well,” you say. “It’s fifteen tanks here and we have eighteen crews. I think some people might have to be left behind.”

“Oh,” says Betty. “Well, that’s a shame.”

You nod. “Of course. But no need to rain on your parades. Have Dory brief you and everyone else on the weather and what to do to keep your tanks running on this snow, alright?”

They all nod.

With that, you hear something arriving. Roar of an engine. Accordions.

Russians.

All of you gather at the campsite entrance to see T-34s roll up. Their crews pop out of the hatches, and Katyusha and Nonna march up to you, determined as the Russian winter of folklore.

Nancy says, “She’s so tiny.”

“Quiet,” you say.

Katyusha and Nonna stop, looking around.

Katyusha laughs. “Haha! What sick man send babies to fight Katyusha!”

Hmph.

You say, “Well, equal response, Katy. Babies fighting babies after all.”

Katyusha yells, “Nonna!” To that, Nonna picks Katyusha up and sets her on her shoulders. Katyusha says, “Hmph! What do you say to this, comrade? I have the high ground!”

…

Motherfucker you’re not going to be beaten by that. “Ramirez!” you say.

Ramirez lifts you up and sets you on her shoulders. Fucking A BITCH. “How about that?” you say.

Katyusha puffs her cheeks out, then turns to the gigantic KV-2. “Nina! NINA!” A cute little girl wearing an ushanka pops out of the hatch. Katyusha yells at her in Russian, to which Nina sighs. She drops down from the KV-2 and soon, she is sitting on Nonna’s shoulders, with Katyusha riding on top of you.

Katyusha steadies herself on the leaning tower of Communism. “Now who is the boss!?”

“NANCY! NANCY!”

Nancy and Ramirez lift you up by the feet by hand. You steady yourself as Fairless and Kitten spot you. “Ha!” You barely edge out over Katyusha in height. “Don’t forget! It was the United States that reached the moon first! By default, ALL AMERICANS ARE TALLER THAN YOU!”

Katyusha fumes, puffing her cheeks out. “Uwaaaa! Suka blyat! I am the Great Swirling Snow Katyusha!” she shakes her fists in childish anger. “I will not be made out like a child!”

You shake a bit as Nancy and Ramirez almost lose their grip. Man, you should’ve been a cheerleader.

But regardless, after a minute of gloating, you’re put down ground level. Except for Katyusha, who simply settles for Nonna as a sort of a maker-taller-person thing.

“Hmph,” she says. “I underestimated you, American. You have guts! Too bad we will have to rip them out of you!”

Nancy smiles nervously. “Well, good luck then?”

“The Great Katyusha does not need luck!” says Katyusha. “From your line up, I can see you need luck!”

You cross your arms. “Hmph. Did you come all this way to trashtalk us?”

“It is tradition, yes!” says Katyusha. “If you like, just try and find a flaw with our glorious line up!” She gestures towards all of her tanks. T-34s, SUs of all types, the KV-1s and the KV-2, and the IS-2. Impressive. “We’ll bury you under our tracks!”

“Hey, whose flag is that on the Moon?” you say. Katyusha is quiet. “Ours, motherfucker! USA! USA! USA!”

All of your crewmembers get on it. “USA! USA! USA!” The Pravda High School girls look bemused, while Katyusha tries her hardest not to look defeated.

Katyusha says, “Alright, alright!” The chanting quiets down. “Hmph. American, you are quite persistent, I admire that.” She looks down on you. “This is like our chance meeting at the Elbe River in the tail end of the Great Patriotic War!” She smirks. “We look forward to our fight with you.”

You nod. “You too. Good luck in the match, Katyusha.”

With that, Katyusha and the Pravda girls return to their tanks. They drive away into the dust of the snowdrifts.

Ah well, you’ve made your decision. You settle into the gunner’s seat, finding some rest against a rack of shells as you eat lunch. A little bit of hot sausages, some meatloaf, and some leafy greens. Nothing special, but Nancy’s cooking keeps you going.

You sigh. Nancy’s cooking. When you first had it, it was heavenly. It still is.

Kitten opens up the hatch. “Trudy, what are you doing in there?”

You say, “Having lunch. I’m being one with the tank!”

“And for my next trick!” Weiss pulls out a deck of cards. “Pick a card, any card.”

The other commanders have gotten wise to Erika’s trick. She does one thing when in reality she’s got something else behind her sleeve. They all glance at each other, knowing, then nod. Cathy pulls out a card, a three of spades. She memorizes it, then sticks it back into the deck at Weiss’ command.

Weiss shuffles the deck a bit, then sticks it into her pocket. “Alright then!” she says.

…

“Was that the trick?” asked Samantha.

“Oh, this is what I call my long con,” she says. “It’ll come!”

Dales says, “Better come soon. And not out of anyone’s asses.”

And to placate those teams, we can tell them that they're going to be going up against a three tank team in an exhibition match on THanksgiving weekend (Ekins's teams).

You say, “Charlotte had a general idea of an assault, big one. All of our tanks even on one side to try and force them into a tight corner.”

Kate nods. “If they’re smart, they’ll keep both chokepoints covered.”

“Right,” you say. “We could go either the left or the right way. Right way is narrower which may mean less tanks to deal with, but it’s also hilly which means we might get bogged down.”

Kate says, “And the left side is the open field. Pravda will have the long range masters like the IS-2 out there. Lighter tanks will be cut down, our heavies might have a chance.”

You nod. “Right. Any ideas?”

Samantha says, “Well, we have the big assault guns like Stupa and the Japanese tank if we’re using it. We can shell their positions.”

“They’ll be kilometers away,” you say. “Plus, with the blizzard, the left field may not be as flat as expected. They might hide tanks in the snowdrifts.”

“That’s a possibility,” says Kate.

Nezumi says, “Question!” You all look at her. “This is a big team for fifteen on fifteen. Who is going to be left behind?”

>>32358041
I think we should bring in at least one of the new teams, particular the Exchange students so they can learn to work together under-fire and then we have the Student Councils fighting in the 3-on-3 match.
Though for who to leave out, maybe whoever's tank would operate like shit in this environment. Dory was already lamenting the lack of turret, would her team be viable to exchange out for the Foreign Exchange team?

>>32358101
Here's what will happen Ekins match. Each of our newbie teams gets an ace to command it. Michelle takes commander of one, Wendy another, Joanna the third. Wendy and joannaMs tanks get creamed, as do two of the others. Michelle, knowing Ekins is in the last tank, doesn't take the shot, chocking. Afterwards, Ekin's tells Michelle off for NOT taking the shot. Her symbol for trigger discipline chewing her out about giving up the win. Thus, she gets jarred out of her emoness, in an effort to make her commander, new and old, proud.

Thusly, all of the teams gather together, some standing outside of the tent due to a bit of overcrowding. You, Lisa, and the Officers stand by a board of the map. “Alright, Lisa. What do you got?”

Lisa says, “Simple. Basic offense, basic defense. Charlotte also has the bright idea of a full scale assault but we can go into that later. For offense, we split into two equally, one team will have the flag tank. We work our through the chokepoints and that’ll be game.

“Defense is the same thing, we hold our points, and once we find a weakness in their lines, we gun it.”

“Or, we could just blitz the entire thing. What do you suppose?”

> Offense
> Defense
> Blitz
> Write in

>>32358608
>> Write in

Assault through the open area.

A small force of our lighter tanks stay in ambush positions near our position to catch any attempt to fall on our rear.

Other light tanks can travel behind the screen of heavy tanks in the assault.

>>32358608
> Blitz
Seize that hill in the middle. Not for the height advantage because it's not high at all but because it's the fastest route between the valley on the right and the left.

We know Katyusha likes baiting. If we over commit to one side then she'll let us push forward while the other half of her team come through the middle and flank us.

Defending will just end up with us being shot like fish in a barrel.

>>32358608
>Offense
But charge ONE chokepoint. Too dangerous to split the forces, and if they did, they are done.

>>32358608
Attrition. Gather everyone up near the southern choke-point. Set up a defence from either side right there. The flag tank will go north along the edge of the map with a heavy and the souma as guardians. Essentially, we just sit on our asses until they run out of tanks to throw at us.

Due to reduced visibility, we should take into consideration the fact that our long-range units might not be as effective, so we shoud plant them someplace where they can do an overwatch AFTER identifying via radio whether it is a foe or a friendly. From there, just camo our tanks and be ready to kill.

>>32358608
> Offense
If we get too agressive, we play into their fighting style. Advance in good order. Be ready for ambushers.

Poor Schteel.

>>32358725
To reinforce my point, if we let Katyusha take the plateau in the middle then she can lay down fire on any position she likes. In particular, anywhere along the south-eastern valley.

Oh and it'll be child's play to spot our flag tank from up there too.

>>32358774
I like this. We can set up tanks on either side of the chokepoint, and the reduced visibility will keep their heavier guns from disrupting our killzone. If they come in force, we meet them head on, and if not we ambush them.

>>32358888
Is that hill climbable? I says 200m along one of the lines.
Hell, I can't even tell which is our start point or what the damn thing is.

>>32358958
Yes. Easily.

Don't read numbers on topography, instead see how close the lines are to each other. The closer they are, the steeper the hill is.

On our map, there are two locations that are climbable, that to the NorthEast and the SouthWest.

>>32358958
Uh... yes. Hold on, let me draw something.

> Blitz
> Offense

You say, “I like the idea of offense. I know Pravda is well-known for defensive play, but I think we can win with a straight up assault. Either on one side or both.”

“We can decide that later,” says Lisa. “Right now, we should focus on assignments. Now that I think about it, it may be that time to organize the team into Squads to make things a bit easier.”

Nancy nods. “We can actually do that now. A squad led by an Officer.” She smiles a bit. “It may even promote inter-crew relationships!”

Lisa sighs. “Of course. We’ll divide into Squads of Five then. Three squads for this match, First Squad, Second Squad, and Third Squad.” She looks over at you. “You want I should organize or do you have any idea of how we should organize this?”

>>32358958

It is climable but it looks like the only good climbing position is in the middle.

That honestly is abit of a dangerous chokepoint from which we have to emerge while likely being underfire from their tanks.

>>32359005

If we're climbing the southwestern slope, we'll be doing so under the guns of pravda's heavies. That place is heavily exposed.

We have only one viable climbing position available to us

File: tankerymap.jpg (343 KB, 1368x828)

343 KB JPG

>>32359092
All right, if I understand this map right there are several paths that can access that hill. The two I have marked with question marks I'm unsure if they have too steep of a slope to climb, or if they're wide enough to go through.

>>32359032
I don't really think we need 3 squads for the match, given we're just slamming through the front door with absolutely everything.

That said, Fast tanks in one squad with us, main battle line with Kate and a reserve with Charlotte.

>>32359092
Both locations are equally exposed. The NorthEast is equidistant from both our start locations, approximately, and if both teams go that way then there will be a battle there too.

Don't look at this from just our viewpoint, see what Katyusha is thinking too. Assuming she also wants the hill, and she might, she knows seizing it will put her in sight of OUR guns. She could of course hold back and just shoot us on our way up but if we can get up there then we have a commanding position.

Oh I think I know where we're fighting now.

You bastard, Schteel. We're fighting at Mount Kosciousko.

>>32359190
Mostly accurate although one appears too steep and there's an easier path for another.

Note our path to the NorthEast. Yes it's a longer distance but unlike Pravda it's mostly flat save for a slight problem at the very end.

“We’ll do it like this. I’ll take the fast tanks and the Animation club. Charlotte, you’ll take Cathy, Keegan, Juliette, and Weiss. Kate, you’re on deck with the rest.”

Lisa nods. “Alright. Another thing. Despite the chokepoints, the hill that separates them is in fact climbable. So, I imagine we need a team to get up there and secure it as fast as they can. Gertrude, since you have the fast tanks, I think you can do it.”

“Sure,” you say. “That sounds fair.”

“And once we hold the hill,” says Lisa. “We can pretty much shoot down at them at our leisure. Charlotte will hold back until things are secure and otherwise good. Kate will support you by taking to the field while you, Gertrude, you’ll go for the hill.”

Okay, Heavy Tanks go along the low ground where they won't struggle up hill

Medium Tanks with best power to weight go up the hill immediately and establish a foothold on the plateau and try to push them off.

Panther, TDs and the rest of the Mediums go up less steep path and provide fire support to the Heavy Tanks.

Light Tanks take the long way around, either run a fighting retreat if they're advancing along that path, or strike along the flanks. Reason I'm not sending them straight up the mountain is because it's a given they'll beat us up, sending Scouts up to confirm what is inevitable is pointless.

By the time they make it through the pass (assuming they make it past whatever ambush they have set up there), the fight would be mostly over. They're better off getting to the fight fast and buying everyone else time.

> “Yes.”

“I figure Keegan moves to that little hill right there, where north meets south. And our fastest tank climbing the hill which oughta be Barkas, you guys go forward watch north if no one challenges. If someone does, fall back to us.”

Barkas nods. “Alright.”

“Right,” says Lisa. “That concludes our strategy meet then.” She checks the time. “Jeez. Let’s have some dinner.”

With that, you all exit out of the tent and get started on dinner. Nancy brings out things like spaghetti and meatballs, hot coffee and chocolate, burgers and fries, the whole nine. It’s going to be a heck of a match tomorrow.

And you need your fill.

The Chaffee is not fighting but maybe the kv 85 will be good

So, I stopped following this around the prom for what I'd think are obvious reasons.
Did the war ever stop?

>>32359679

Chaffees not in play this round.

Cant we fight in a hull down position from the slopes? Exposing only the turret?

We can deny the use of the plateau to them completely.

we're all eating together!

>>32359752
If you did it is a funny time for you to show up

>>32359752
Yes.

Of course a whole new one has cropped up since then but hey thems the breaks.

>>32359753
Presumably we can although there might be some difficulty depressing our guns enough.

>>32359741

Everyone because team morale building.

Whaddya me

I agree with >>32359771 and >>32359803

>>32359741

None of that silly solo shit.

>>32359753
Depends on how high the gradient is. Worst thing that can happen is that they send rounds through the LFP as you're cresting and the whole attack is bogged down by wrecks in the way.

The guy above does have a point when he advocates sending the light tanks onto the Plateau immediately, it seems like the best way to establish a foothold because their tanks will beat our tanks up there.

>>32359814
No not same old same old.

Not really anyway. While there are superficial appearances with the prior conflict, the underlying reasons are entirely different.

>>32359741
> Eat Dinner with ALL the crews
Don't drop our spaghetti.

>>32359855
Well, thanks. Guess I'll go catch up since I've got nothing to do tomorrow.

Have fun with your war

>Eat Dinner in your Tent alone
Something will happen, I feel it in my bones.

> Eat Dinner with a Crew (Everyone)

Tables are set up outside as you all dig into your meals. The crews eat and chat with each other, eager to get into the action tomorrow. You can see the Seniors regaling the Freshmen with tales of their exploits from previous years. The Rifle team show pictures of the weapons they have to the Naval Studies merchant team. The Magicians entertain the Girl Scouts with another fancy trick.

It’s all coming together nicely.

You sit around with your crew, Kitten next to you as you dig into your meal. “I think everyone’s looking forward to the action,” you say.

“Gee,” says Lisa. “You think?”

You shrug. “Well, yeah.”

Nancy says, “Gertrude. Maybe you’d like to have a speech?”

I guess if the first crews up there start throwing smoke pots like mad cunts that'll be good.

>>32360002
Apparently blizzard like conditions

>>32360002
The weather outside is frightful
But the gunfire is so delightful
And since we have nothing to lose
Let it...

... uh, okay, back to the drawing board. I can't think of anything appropriate that rhymes with "lose" unless we go with "booze".

>>32360039
Oh, even better. Don't even need to throw smoke pots, depending on visibility, could probably assault onto the plateau under the cover of the blizzard.

Don't touch the tonks with bare skin. Turn them over ever couple minutes.

>>32360095
But it's the same as he other team.

Also German do we have winter camo for our tanks as we'll?

Late to the party.

God fucking damn, I don't want any shitty romances in this quest, gay or hetero.

I'm not here for hamfisted teenage "love,". I just wants girls and tanks.

> Pathos

You stand up. “Everyone, can I have your attention?”

Everyone quiets down, listening to you.

“Alright, this is our uh… third match in the tournament I believe. We have some new faces with us, and I’d like to welcome them. They may be sitting out today’s match but we hope they will come to learn from us.” Everyone applauds politely. “Alright, alright. Now, another thing. Well… I don’t mean to preach, so I’ll make this short. We have to win.

“We’re all out here to have fun, some of us are here because of that. Others are here because I helped you and you felt like returning the favor. No matter what though, we are a team! We survived William Adams! We survived Walter Christie! We survived Chi-Ha-Tan! We survived our tanks being burnt down! And I assure you, we will survive here!”

Everyone cheers, whistling and applauding you.

> + 5 MORALE ACROSS ALL CREWS.

You nod, smiling. “Alright, alright. Didn’t mean to preach. Go back to your dinners.”

Not Blizzard, just snow covered and cold as fuck.

The smoke might actually help

Tanks, snow and Russia. What does it remind me of?
