BOTH OF WHICH WILL EQUAL DEATH.

>>12696962

"Ffff....can we get another bitank down here and some mechs or something?"

>>12696946

"Confirmed, Douk. Request processed. Will attempt to assign all clones a droid."

"Reporting, sir."

>>12696995

Not enough clones to fill 'em, I'm afraid. Need enough bodies to form a decent line. Currently we have one BiTank; if things get dicey, I'll drop in another along with a strafing run.

What is this? A multiplayer Quest?

"Another suicide mission? Commander, sir, I pray to dear Space Jesus you have a way to get us out of this shithole. If Orbital doesn't expect us to survive, I'm shit out of optimism right now."

>>12697011
"Alright fair enough. Any possibility of getting a mech with more mid to far range support or do we only have bitanks on hand?"

>>12697011

"Looking at the number of bug corpses down here sir... things ARE going to get dicey."

Only BiTanks, I'm afraid. I'd like to requisition some Marauders, or even that little Blackbox bastard, but brass says that Bravo Team isn't ready for that kind of hardware.

>>12697035
"But commander weren't we upgraded to Crank or something? Doesn't that get us some new toys?"

>>12697035

"DAMN, WALKER, SOMEONE LEFT YOU OUT OF THE LOOP. WE GOT PROMOTED TO CHARLIE LAST ENGAGEMENT."

>>12697044
"IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN CRANK.

I NEVER WAS ONE FOR BOOKS."

>>12697044

No Douk (Dug? Wth man, make up your bloody mind), we're still Bravo Team. But we've been upgraded to a [C]rank Unit. So the proper name is [C]rank Unit Bravo.

>>12697041
Upgrade is for vets. You're a vet, right? So you can upgrade. Wait for Orbital Command to wire in the details, trooper.

>>12697044

But if we got promoted, that means that command will send us on even more dangerous missions. I... can we stay Bravo squad? I like Bravo.

>>12697059
"I don't think so...sir. I've only been in one engagement, but I did get one of the bugs on my own...somehow."

Your Current points as of 7 hours ago.

Hmm...yeah more bodies would be useful.

>>12697075
"Douk? Never heard of him. Is he a new guy, or what?"

>>12697090

"I'VE NEVER HEARD OF HIM.

SOUNDS LIKE A DAMN GOOD NAME, THOUGH."

(43 points available, take 3 off for the droid squad, leave at least 10-15 for airstrikes as needed; it seems like we can afford at least one additional armor unit if this planet is as bug heavy as command says.)

"Orbital, requesting 3 droid squads and an additional BiTank for initial deployment, over."

"So which one of you guys wants to run a droid squad?"

The Deployment man will be as shown.

All unit positions reset. The initial drop pod has been expanded into a planetside FORTRESS.Packed with at least 3 redeployments worth of clones.

>>12697103
"It has a certain appeal, yeah. Like a guy who flexes a lot and shits down people's necks."

>>12697118

"Yay fort, does the fort have any heavy weapons installed that we can make use of?"

"I'D LIKE TO SUGGEST LEAVING AT LEAST TWO DROIDS WITH EACH RIOT KNIGHT, SIR."

"I'LL TAKE A SQUAD IF ONE IS AVAILABLE."

>>12697117

"Command, requesting that one of those droid squads be comprised of sharpshooter units. Also, what's the possibility of making that sex doll [S4] found earlier into something that can hold a gun?"

On your word We can initiate the assault.

For this operation Aerospace pilots have assigned this location a priority 2 target. Airstrike cooldown has been decreased to 2 turns instead of 3.

>>12697133
"Ready when they are, sir"

>>12697118
Sir, my HUD seems to be missing information on these "Redlines", requesting information.

>>12697117
"Depends on what these tin cans are capable of. If they're only good up close there's no point in having them hang around in the backfield with me."

"Orbital, can we get some specs on these combat droids?"

>>12697133
"Ready to go here, Orbital. Let's get this suicide mission started."

>>12697125

It is capable of holding the perimeter just outside of the barracks, establishing a safezone on sections B and E

>>12697117
"Me, of course. And each Knight should probably get one too. I'm pretty sure we can order special Riot Droids or something."

Do we have a crew for the Bi-tank? If not I volunteer myself for armored duty.

>>12697156

"Well that's good to know. Also before we start are we deploying in one large squad or what?"

>>12697133

"Understood command, please wait as orders are given. Also requesting an additional droid squad, for a total of four, I say again, four droid squads. 3 for the Riot Knights, one composed of sharpshooters under my command."

"Alright, listen up Bravo, here are your current deployment orders. Knights are designated Blue Squad, and will deploy at the center of the hill at the top of F."

"[A2], [R1], [R2], [M1], [M2] will deploy to the southern half of F."

"Droid squad [S-D1] will deploy at C to provide covering fire."

Commander, Requesting an exact count on purchases.
Example:
"
>Droid Knight
>Droid SS
>Droid:Rifle
>Armor: Strider "

for example. Droids vary with each unit type the distribution of its numbers can be decided on the field.

"What is the actual objective of this mission?"

>>12697186
"I HOPE COMMAND AT LEAST GOT THE PAPERWORK RIGHT ON THE DROID MODELS.

CO, CAN YOU MAKE SURE WE WERE ASSIGNED THE HEAVY KNIGHT UNITS?"

>>12697196
"I know I dont talk much, but please remember I'm here, sir."

>>12697186
"I'd like some tin can riflemen, boss. Looks like I'm the only rifleboy on the field right now, I'd rather not be too lonely. Hell, make one of em that sexbot if you want. It'll be worth the laugh."

>>12697186
"Sir! Request that fire support squad gets dropped with a supply crate either in our deployment zone or the immediate objective. Between myself and the two Grenadiers we're gonna need ammunition."

>>12697207
"No, really, am I invisible? I should sign up for spec ops if these freaks pay as much attention to me as you guys..."

>>12697162

"Alright, Krieg, you're in the BiTank. Change your tag accordingly."

"Orders are simple: Blue Squad will be the center of the push. Green Squad - [R1], [R2], [M1], [M2] - will move along the southern flank of Blue Squad. Pick off enemy xenos as you advance, and when things get bad, get behind of Blue Squad."

"Orbital, I'd like an airstrike ready to go. Set target to the area 5 spaces to the East of the Very Redline. Fire on my command, only."

"Engagement to begin in 10."

>>12697197

AT the center of every infested city is a brood queen that makes use of all the gathered victims who are then slaughtered and used as primordial fluids for spawning grounds for the hive. Your objective, is to kill the Brood Queen before she reaches maturity. Once there, she will have access to all the sentient knowledge of all assimilated humans of this colony.

>>12697219
"Ah shit man! Sorry, I just totally did not notice you. Fuck, you'd be good in spec ops."

>>12697230
"That mess on the map is a city? I thought someone had spilled coffee on it.

This should prove interesting."
[Racks gun]

>>12697224
Sir, [M1] appears to be missing. Did you perhaps mean to designate [M3]?

>>12697196

"Understood Orbital. Assuming one droid = 3 points each."
>3 x Droid Knights
>2 x Droid SS
>1 Droid Rifle
>Armor: BiTank Strider (so we have 2 on the field)
>One air strike ready to go
>One ammunition package ready to go

"Atlas, I'm assigning the Rifle Droid to you."

Hawkes is here this time, Sir.

>>12697230

"So what does it usually take to destroy at the predicted queen level?"

>>12697267
Minor glitch corrected.

>>12697224
"Fuck yes!"

"Uh,I mean...understood command!"

>>12697278

"Doesn't the tank require two pilots? If so, shotgun."

>>12697270
Hey, Mornin Hawkes. God Unit gonna get heaps of kills today?

>>12697270

"Glad to see another vet, Hawkes. Switch designation to [R3], and review the comm. chatter. You are assigned to Green Squad."

>>12697269
"Hell yeah! Also a Strider is a light scout unit, boss. Whereas the Bitank is an MBT. And Hawkes, I think you get to be R3 tonight."

(Can we get some stats of what each droid type is capable of?)

>>12697284

"Tripe, assigned as BiTank Gunner."

>>12697302

"... you want a light scout? Intel seems to indicate that you're going to get heavy resistance, and big guns are always nice. Hold on then..."

"Orbital, what's the cost for a Strider?"

"This can only end well."

>>12697320
"Did you read the manual for this thing? I can't figure out what half these buttons do."

(So I control movement and Tripe has the guns? Or can I use the MG while Tripe shoots the cannon?)

>>12697332
((Tripe can only shoot the sub machineguns. You get to control movement, main machineguns, and the main canon.))

>>12697332

"I'm sure it'll workout somehow...."

(Yes, a manual would be good...)

>>12697340
(Wait, seriously?)

>>12697290

"If it bothers you that much I'll swap ya callsigns for a box of cigs. Deal?"

>>12697269

A droid package comes in sets. Just order the sets to attach to people. This has already been done. Just informing for future reference.

>>12697347
((You get to roll 4d10. Main machine guns are 3d10, and the canon is 1d10.))

>>12697392

"Oh, so like, 3 droids per set? That's what it looks like on the picture, anyhow."

>>12697380
I'm willing to take that offer.
I'm definitely willing to take that offer.
You, Sir, are a good man.

>>12697401

(Oh, alright. Well that sounds alright then. Do we have the option to bail out and default back to our class from before?)

Where shall the Bitanks be Deployed.

Suggestion: Perhaps Tripe should pilot the other bitank to spread out personnel assets.

>>12697404

"New recruit ready for combat duty, sir! I am proficient as a rifleman and in armoured warfare! Awaiting orders, sir!" Is standing at attention.

Rejoining main combat force, I see we got them pretty good while I was away.

Do we count kills when we're in the tanks?

Don't know; guess you can. Seems just a tad cheap, though.

>>12698148
That's what I was thinking...maybe only for really big things?

Also CO do you want to remote me or something as I don't want to leave the bitank just standing around?

>>12698159

Make your moves for this turn if you haven't done so already, and I'll remote you if you're leaving. Just remember to say so.

>>12698664

Got it. Sleep well man.

On a similar note, you feel like tying up for the night, OP? If I recall correctly, it should be about 6 A.M. where you are.

>>12698642

In this game, low rolls are good, high are bad. If you've got a kill, you'd know, I think.

"Alright, [R4], [K1], come with me, I'm going to blast the hole behind us to close it from more enemy attacks, snipers, give us covering fire."
