AEON ARMOR

>Fielding on Aeon side (hahaha like that would happen)
>Welp time to wish I could sit this one out.... and fielding as Hellgasth commander

Mana wished she wouldn't have to do this, but orders were orders so she went to pick up two rubberfaust (tm) from the newly made training armory.

OH AND LOOK HERE'S A FIELD MANUAL FOR YOU TO IGNORE

And that's everything you need to play IRONHEARTS

I bet you get this a lot, but you guys need to put this on 1d4chan. (Unless it just didn't show up in my search).

So what, how does this work. I claim a name and pick a unit, then tripcode it up? I would've followed earlier threads closer if I had any idea about the rules (first time I've seen this Field Manual thingie).

What are the conventions of unit naming and sides?

>persons wajectsr

what's that captcha, you want to play a caster?

>>16486857

Yep, just pick your name, class, and trip.

The field manual has been around for a while actually, it just doesn't usually get posted unless someone asks how to play.

As far as sides and conventions go there aren't any real restrictions. So just go with whatever you won't.

If one side ends up with to many people though expect to see some shuffling to even the teams out.

>>16486857
No naming convention, go with whatever you want. As for game be ready to give up your night if your timezone is EST

>>16486857
Actually you're the first person who's told us that instead of telling us to fuck off and get our own forum. One of us might do that if we get bored, but you really can't rely on us to do any real work. Like, ever.

>>16486857
Quite Right, pick a name, trip it up, and pick a side, today is a PVP exorcise between Aeon (Crusaders for Awesome) and Ragnyll (Totally not Gallia from Vakyria Chronicles)


Templar Daein reporting for duty.

The time for battle is at hand! To arms!

>>16486857
That's...pretty much all you need. Pick a name,class, and a trip and you're ready to go. And IH *and* SQ deserve 1d4chan entries, don't they?

I will be there.

>>16486857

this might also help

it's from an earlier version of the game but most of it still translates over fairly easily

>>16487062
Glad to have you, Brother Ignatius.

>Your brackets are backwards, by the by.

>>16486582
An Ironhearts thread?! That I can probably attend?! It's like a late Birthday present!

Wait, damn it. EST.
I'll be out until ~12:30-1 EST...

Alright, time to see if I can pull up /tg/ on my smart phone.

>>16487182
The answer, Yes.

Well, this sounds fun - I'll be JUMPING right in!
[/badjoke]

Oh I should probbbly add that the two COs take tally of their members.

>>16487403
>DAMN YOU IC *shake fist to the sky*
>off to make tally

>>16486857
This recruit again. Issued high-calibre Sluggers, told to expect the worst. Further field training is going to be necessary, but I think we've at least found our bearings.

So tell 13th Command that they've got a few more for the meat-grinder.

>Aeon plans to neutralize me by hijacking my vehicles with melee units.
>Implying you can hijack me from down there.

>>16487781

Thematically? When a Ragnyllian fights long enough they have a tendency to evolve their own special talents on the field unrecorded by medical science but observed through combat experience.

Mechanically they're twenty point upgrades that net you somewhere between thirty and forty points worth of upgrades

Quick bump for more players.


Gabriel Wight wants YOU, to fight for Aeon!

>>16488355
This isn't wight.

>>16488441
I think they can see that, seeing as I used my name for that post. Commander Wight would certainly welcome any new recruits, so I voiced that opinion in his absence. And seeing as Makkor hasn't shown up yet, I did the tally.


That said I do have a question, has IronCommand cleared Hellghast for artillery and airstrikes for this mission?

Reporting for duty on the Hellghast side. Time to show those Aeons what REAL armor can do!

Bumpity boo.

DO NOT POST Alternate options. You play as either aeon or ragnyll How I will balance this is completely out of your hands.

Final rosters will be requested in 20 minutes.

Any and all participants including the COs must be listed.

I'm here I'm here! Joining up with Hellghast.

> [Q1] Makkor
> [A1] Henessian Kess

Added members for balance, Inquisitor Makkor, and Henessian Kess

The Mission will be thus:
Ragnyll: Capture the Flag [Cleric]
Aeon: Defend Cleric for 5 Turns. [Or 10 Phases]

>>16489942
hmmm fine by me

Varo, Isane: Stay away from the Ar if possible, otherwise choose your target amongst the templar, the inquisitor retinue and Kess

Finch: Priority to the hamermaid, then you can aim for whoever you want.

Mark, Gunther, Springer : Take care of the armors else I may steal the kill

Clyde: Do engineer stuff I guess... Try to not get shot down by Makkor or Kess

>>16490131
As you say, Major. Notice you're using the rubberfaust is thus a war game scenario? In short, am I shooting to kill, or disable?

>>16490198

all shots are supposed to be assumed non-lethal this game

>>16490198
You have been issued with paint and rubber munitions so you can aim to kill.

For clarification, does Capture mean physically capture, or "Kill" the Cleric?

Waiting on the Map to assign target priority, stand strong Brothers.

>>16490233

Could go either way, from how I see it. Though I think that Hellghast'll be puttin' a little bit more priority on the "kill" objective.

>>16490131
Affirmative.

>>16490431
Well step 1 is going to have to be getting rid of the Hammermaids either way...

>>16490475

I'd like to see how well you can shoot when my spear's pokin' into your gut, trooper.

MAP.
POSTING UNITS NOW.

those who wish to join should contact their CO or Quartermaster but you may end up being reshuffled for balance !

Handling the Cleric,
<< Ragnyll must "Capture" the flag. The Flag will then follow you. Aeon can recapture the flag- but must do so by carrying it. The flag will be cross with you if you don't put it down for a number of turns however. Harming the flag is strictly prohibited. >>

>>16490492
>>16490492
Alright, I want the cleric singing songs of protection from Explosives if possible, and Makkor, I need Faith structures, the sooner we can get to 5 faith the better chances we have. Since the cleric must be taken alive, I want the rook shielding the Hammermaids from sniper fire, on overwatch with flamers for any torpedos or rockets. Kezare, You're on Anti-Air duty, and if Mana presents herself, you pop her too.


Remember, don't get overextended, this is a defense mission. Five phases, if we can hold for five of our action phases, we win.

>>16490949
THe cleric is a flag, not a player. So he will not sing anything... I'm not even sure there will be hammermaid.

I dont think start a new thread is necessary so.... I'll start the battle here.

It has begun at last. You both know whats at stake if you win.

woops

"Incoming! Get do--" The Brother Veteran's words are interrupted by the large "GOOSH" sound made by the exploding paint round. Iksender holds his ground until the shaking stops, then looks up above his shield.

"Gaaah! It's in my hair!" Gwendolyn shrieked.
"So...are we dead?" Lucien shakes some excess paint off his spear.
"Do we just lie down or something?" Iraklis was knocked on his back by the blow, simply taking off his helmet and staring up at the sky.


>move 2 NE, 1N, shield facing SW

Kezare turns his shield towards the Ragnyll forces just as a massive paint round slams into the knight's shoulder, splashing a prodigious amount of teal colored paint all over the mech suit, as well as into the open faced helmet. Kezare spits out a glob of the stuff as he kneels there.

"... Metatron's not gonna be happy about this..."

Well crap. Sorry Mana, I wasn't fast enough on the delete button.

(Any reason every single one of my shots went into a cliff? I'm curious because, if Makkor's flock was able to shoot me, wouldn't it make sense for me to be able to hit them in return?)

>>16492740
"I'm taking you to the HQ, do you like cookies?"

"Well, nothing like a happy ending," Varro mused as the squad slung their Sluggers and watched Mana take the prize.

"You don't sound too happy, Boss! We barely felt a shot." Varro glanced back at Kayle and shrugged.

"More you sweat on the training field, the less you bleed in war. And we didn't sweat enough. Next time.." At his direction the squad fanned out and proceeded to help the paint-soaked Aeon troops recover their gear.

>>16492740
Daein watches as the mechanized Major flies off with the cleric in tow.
"Excellent work Brothers, we managed to last longer than expected. You have all given your hardest, and for that I commend you, however if the Legio Aurora is to make a difference in this war, we must be better. We have all learned a valuable lesson from this battle, let it not be wasted. Clean up and return to your quarters to await inspection by Chapter Master Wight, Dismissed."

Daein lingers on the battlefield, taking stock of mistakes made, and opportunities lost, before turning to leave with the rest of his chapter.

Clyde: "I have absolutely no idea what just happened. Also, I'm sure it was Rosa's fault."

Rosa: "Hey, at least I wasn't stupid enough to follow you up into that deathtrap - if this were real I'd be the one in charge of the squad now!"

Clyde: "You'd like that, wouldn't you?"

>>16492857

I forgot my image.

Good night Iron Hearts

"Just hold still--oh wow, there's still a lot of it." Iraklis had taken off his gauntlets some time ago, and was helping get most of the loose paint out of Gwendolyn's hair. He pulled his hand away as the paint dripped off his hand. "What's this stuff made of?"

"Eww, eww, eww, eww." Gwendolyn shuddered. "I--it's everywhere. EVERYWHERE!"

"Oh, feth." Lucien grumbled, flexing the joints in his armor. "That paint gunk got into the joints of the armor--this is gonna be a real mess to clean." Lucien looked up to the sound of footsteps in the distance, observing the closing figure of the Brother Veteran, paint spattered on his shield. "Brother-Veteran, you're back. Real mess this fight was, eh?"

The Brother-Veteran nodded. "Mess as it was, Lucien, I hope that we can learn something from this. All that happens does so for a reason, my children--and there is a reason that we were defeated today. Alexander has given us some things to meditate on; let us not let his blessing go to waste."

"Brother Iksender, what happens now?" Gwendolyn piped up.

The Brother-Veteran opened his mouth to speak, but closed it again, unsure how to phrase what he was to say next. He allowed himself a small, tired smile. "That, my child, is a mystery even to me. Now come, gather your things. When we get back to the base, we will clean our armor and, by the looks of some of you, ourselves as well."
