Enemy phase now, got to wait until he says ACTION PHASE

Do we keep track of our own kills? I'm honestly not entirely sure what I killed, since I shot at so many things. Also, what's Ibonyte?

What happened to me? I don't see myself on the map.

A type of crystal/ore used for many purposes, casting among them.

>You're in front of A1, they're all shooting over your head.

Look for the caster icon marked as 2, as a bubble with "?" above it.

Also next action phase, can you go north and slap an array on the rock with the swirling blue lines?

Wait, that's me out in front? I headed east instead of west, I guess?

>>15908065

>Yeeeeeeeeeeaaaah, directions can get kind of backwards sometimes.

I gotta give props to Oderkonn for cooking up those scout striders on the fly, but I would never abandon Isara for one of those sticks on legs. The sort of lack the... charm that Isara's got.

>>15907994
Count the number of hit on your dice roll, count the number of enemy you hit and if they are dead. the kills and assist give you one xp.

A loud mechanic voice raise up from the captain body.

"Ragnyllian, the cavalry is here, those of you that can fight, arm yourself at the checkpoint, those that can make way to the surface. Prove yourself more courageous than my men that are afraid of the dark and earn your freedom. For RAgnyll!"

"It'd be like cheating on Isara, with TWINS no less."

>>15908158

Winters would join in the conversation, but can't hear anything over the roar of a high caliber gatling cannon going off pretty much right next to him. The muzzle flashes illuminate him, showing a gleeful grin on his face as he sends a hail of shells down into the tunnels.

A fight, eh?
Gunther, I note you're listed as Reserve. Is our division in reserves? Should I be a pilot, or my usual rocket?

>>15908386

No, that would be good for us. Also, it would explain why a headshot would result in soft living targets becoming not-so-living anymore.

Please respond.

Also, Leopold, Soapworth. You guys need to change your trips to I1 or I2 so we can tell which one of you is which on the map.

I'm actually not sure if those black dots are miners or resistance fighters.

This just dawned on me, cave'ull of miners and Voss ghouls, is anyone checking them for infection?

rolled 6 = 6

>>15908917
They're innocents, but not shooting - meaning they aren't exactly fighters, therefore they must be miners?

>Shit, totally missed it. Tonight is not my night. Keep getting called away from computer.

Can my turn be spent reloading? Need to pop flares next round.

>>15908922
I'm sure the Resistance topside can handle that. Our job is to clear the mine. Though it wouldn't hurt to spot check and try and get any intel you can from them. Even a rough estimate of what we're facing would be a huge help.

> Regarding individual [A]'s grenade loadouts and spare SMG mags, can we load differently for each members (flare, krak, frag, stun, smoke/colored smoke, incendiary, etc.) and can one loot spare SMG rounds from other [A]s, dead or alive?

Looting: Probably

different loadouts per member: No.

>>15909280
Frag grenade only and no you can't loot them, must keep it easy for command to keep tab

Considering how long it'd take me to get over to the main assault line I'll just move up the west flank with Gunther. I'll so drop a flag next turn for re-arming on this side.

Hey Lankest, the East flank is getting pretty beat up, next chance you get, see if you can drop an array in the shallow water there to allow our casters to use Healing spells.

Well, seeing as how battle fatigue is starting to catch up with most of us, it seems like now is a good time to stop and set up camp for the moment.

At least we got ample barricades and sentries to protect us this time. I still remember that night at Solstice... *shudder*

4:30 AM here. Need to be out for the night. See you in five hours.

Action Phase ended some time ago during one of the Lt.'s comments about not sleeping.

I'm going to sleep too, I have things to do in the day and a wave of fatigue just hit me.

ENEMY PHASE.

watch out-

for cave ins....

>>15910311
>Thank we can call it here Command? Obviously we aren't thinking straight if we decided it was a good idea to lob half the known stock of grenades in one turn, at the same spot. I'm so going to die.

>>15910390
Dear gods...

>>15910390
Not to mention enemy armor further into the mine on Mana's end.

"Crap, there's no way we can walk out onto that bridge, then. They'd just blam us, and send us into that festering cesspool. Looks like you need to break the stalemate on your end, Sarge...Though I don't know how much longer this part of the caves can take this kind of a beating. Maybe get Al and Crowns to sure up the ceiling?"

>>15910433
I figure I can shoot the damn thing through a white bed sheet and start yell'n some Aeoneesee profanity at it..

>heh, night folks, cya in a few hours. Btw, gots more drawing goodness for later!

>>15910432
"Oh, ye gods, thank you. a break." Willhelm collapses back on his ass as the adrenaline slowly leaves his system. "Right, wounded and civies, gotta take care of em, no resting on the job. Iceval would chew me out." and with that, he sets to work.

>Night people, will check back at around 3 EST.

All right, current at 18 xp.

When are we going to pick back up?

Oh, and again, I will eventually need to know

What marauder kills/assists are worth, point wise
And if the non-killing applications of my gun rack up points.

also, my engies should have dropped a stretcher last turn, but whatever, I'll do it next turn.

1 EST would be when I do morning confirmations.

If not then then 5 Est and so on.

>>15910480
I'm guessing saturday. That's usually one of the most consistent days that we get a mission. We usually get at least a day in between breaks to regroup and plan.

>>15910504
Pretty sure marauders are worth 1 each. If you damage an enemy unit that's later killed, you also get exp for the assist. Assists also count as kills in terms of counting exp gains. Enemy armor, werewolves, vamps, and any other abnormally tough enemies are usually worth 2exp and superheavy stuff like airships are worth 3.

So counting it up, I have 15 total exp so far.

>>15910533
>>15910511

Im good for tomorrow but yeah, usually only a GOOD number shows up on saturday.

>>15910572
Saturday tends to get the best attendance. Coincidentally, I really can't do Friday unless you mind me giving orders through my iphone.

> Sorry, BB battery redlined on the road between towns. Did my rookies deploy on Flag 3 or not? If they did, do they get that 4 XPs?

How do upgrades work in this, is it 1 upgrade per 5 EXP or 10 EXP? From my count, I got anywhere between 10 and 14 EXP this mission (6-10 from kills/assists, 4 from mission participation). Also, I'm guessing any kills I got while in my Strider only count towards upgrading the Strider rather than my pilot class, but I just want to make sure that's the case.

As a head's up, I started a new job this week, so I work 11-7(PST) everyday until Sunday.

So any games during that time, Gunther will have to bot me, or Marks will miss them.

>Good shot, Gunther!

>>15912766
You can upgrade something for 10xp, Aspect costs 20xp. If you upgrade. Your can upgrade either your stridder or your pilot. But the ugrade to your stridders will be lost if they are destroyed.

Any restrictions on what I can upgrade? I remember in SQ we couldn't upgrade number of actions, and there were a few restrictions on RoF upgrades.

>>15912874

Those all look really useful, not sure if I'll spend 10 EXP to get an upgrade now or wait for another 6 EXP and get an aspect.

>>15913168

Alright then, I know what I want to upgrade.

Command, can I spend 10 EXP to increase the rating bonus pilots give when driving a vehicle?

>>15913216

Willhelm, in the northwest among the ghouls there is a symbol that looks like a ghoul but is white. Not sure what it is, but might be a haunt. Could use a flare up there if you can manage it next action phase.

>>15914097
Just remember that if you throw a flare on an array, I can light up areas you couldn't get to otherwise.

With the jump distance on my Strider, I could attempt to jump across the chasm in order to provide fire support to the bridge team and take out those riflemen. I might have to use both actions to get across by skipping across the rock in the middle, and I'll need to take those ghouls out first, but it's an option I'm willing to take.

More good news for casters.

When doing AOE spells, don't word it in radius like I've been doing. I AM A BAD EXAMPLE.

What we SHOULD be doing is refer to it as combs. In this way, you'd stat that you do the AOE in, for example, a 3 hex comb. This means 3 hexes are affected.
