The Voss landscape will be crawling with ghouls or other such things during the night. Even if you were to sustain your covert status, the local unfauna wil still attach the train indiscriminately during the night.

Okay, so according to Command, the mission has been delayed and rescheduled to Monday 10pm est. Clear your schedules and get your affairs in order, because it looks like this one is going to be another all nighter.

>>17039033

Since this mission happens as a series of raids, multiple shorter sessions over the weeknight maybe preferred.

>>17039032

So traveling during the day is a no-go, I'm guessing, while night travel will attract Ghouls wandering around the countryside.

Also, from what I understand, we're gonna be blowing up the train once we reach the Black Fortress. How will we account for exfil?

>>17039253

A Clovis extraction team will collect you by airship.

And I think you know which one.

>>17039556

Of course, of course. What kind of installations will we be hitting during our little frenzy--fuel depots, communication towers, military outposts, supply stores?

>>17040821
Once the aerial team have returned, a rail map shall be plotted out.

It would also be helpful if we could hit a few occult facilities to see if we can dig up any more info on Thanatos and that ritual the Voss used to try and summon him.

Buying pig aspect and an extra squad member, down to 1xp

Cecilia, reporting in.

>18 xp

Proposed Aspect upgrade: Fast casting
Casting is no longer a "slow" action, casting will not end my turn.

y/n ?


>Also, anyone willing to hand me 2 exp?

>>17042406
Sure, take 2 of mine. I cant play tonight anyway.

>>17042492

Game ain't 'till at least tomorrow night, Cecilia.

>>17042406

Fast casting only doable if spells only tap one array.

>42 exp
>donate 10 to Sudsen
>donate 2 to Xavian
>purchase 3 armor for Bitank.

Vahn stood before his newly repainted Bitank, looking over the new armor plating he had added, making it look more like a walking steel box with a cannon than a proper Bitank, but function over form, he supposed. The newly christened Longshot MkII was ready for combat.

Yes, yes they are. But you have to keep in mind that there are negative modifiers to rating based on how far away you target is, how concealed it is, and whether its taking cover or not.

Just in time for deployment! Have a look at the wiki, man.

http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Iron_Hearts

>>17051912
>>17051911
Okay... I'm still not familiar with the nametags (the ones in the brackets). What do they stand for?

Deployment ends at 12:20

Have a list compiled then then compose a battle strategy.

>>17051946
Check towards the bottom of that 1d4chan link there are character cards, the tags relate to that.

Judging form the survey map the black fortress has yet to be found, even with the superior tracking instruments of clovis. However it's suspected to exist along the rail lines.

>>17051946
HAWK and similar names are aspects, don't worry about those, the unit designation is the other bracketed letter, which is listed on the unit sheet.

>>17051946

the letters with numbers are class tags and are needed (numbers are assigned to you)

the disemvoweled animal words are aspect IDs you don't have to bother with them until you lvl up

>>17051962
I see... well, here goes, I hope I still get an in on this.

Lotsa Comm outposts and a few military installations. Major, I suggest taking the right-most railway and hitting that comm-station before continuing to that checkpoint in the woods for our first move. We could move on to Groy or Wolf from there.

>>17052000
Oops, fixing that.

"If I may, I'd like to suggest the outlined route in the provided map to the side where we head east to the checkpoint while destroying the radio tower along the way. Upon reaching the checkpoint, we go west to Groy then swing southwest to north to the fortress, taking out the tower there. We'll continue north, investigating the indicated icon, then continue to the northern fort and final radio tower.

Thoughts?"

>>17052013
Looks good. That route maximizes the number of targets we can hit.

So... awaiting deployment, I guess?
"Hi guys, I'm the new guy... what are we going up against, exactly?"

>>17052197
What we do best. Hope on a train we've never tested or trained on and use it to blow up a lot of shiny Voss stuff.

>>17052197
Zombies, Vampires, Wizards, the usual. Welcome to Voss, rookie, land of walking targets.

[the attached has a somewhat accurate guide of enemy icons.]

>>17052197

Paisley chuckled. "You picked a helluva day to join up--Jasper, was it? Plan is we're gonna make a buncha fast and heavy raids across Voss. If we didn't kick the hornet's nest before, we're gonna be doin' it now."

>>17052197
"WELCOME TO HELLGHAST BUDDY, ME AN PETEY ARE NEW HERE TOO. HOPE YOU AND YOUR SQUAD DON'T GET EATEN."

>>17052224
Jasper nods, and looks at the enemy recognition chart.
"Hmm... shouldn't be that hard to do... I mean, you guys are still alive, right?"
He chuckles nervously.

huh, after all this time I forgot to post upgrades.
