The Mad Russian from the future steps out from the make shift Medical Tent that was on the train, a pair of cigarettes in his mouth par norm along with a smile on his face. Ghoul was however covered from head to toe in bandages from the burn wounds he'd suffered, even his shaggy shoulder length hair and beard had been trimmed thanks to the fire's fury.

"Those Voss can't get rid of me that easily..."

Nods at Sterling with a smirk, "Actually I had some nice female recruit help me out with it."

The hulking mass of flesh and bandages activates his radio, attempting to contact Mary Susan. "Miss Susan, This is Ghoul if you're paying attention on here I'd like your help with something when I get back."

WAIT WAIT WAIT REPORTING!

"...And when The Trials come, may we hold our heads up high, and know that we have lived for the betterment of all. May the will of the Goddess be with us. Mo'Alla watch over us all." Paisley kissed the symbol on his rosary, packing it back in one of the pockets in his uniform. He stood, meeting the gazes of both of his squadmates. "You both ready?"

"You know it, man." Womack grinned, brushing a bit of dust off the barrel of his grenade launcher.

"You ready to wreck some stuff, sir?" Hadley took a quick drink from her canteen before screwing the top back on.

Paisley grinned a manic grin as he cocked his grenade launcher. "You know it."

"Shit!"

Isane glances over at her loader, a girl by the name of Bradley, just in time to see her last cigarette get caught in the wind and go flying off the train. Reaching into her own pockets, she pulls out a pack of Death Blossom brand cigarettes and offers them to the private. "Here"

"Huh? Oh, thanks ma'am, shoulda kept a better grip on-- shit again!"

The captain sighs as the girl loses her last match to the wind, and brings out a stylish lighter with a black skull emblazoned on it, and flicks it on. "You're lucky you can at least keep track of the ammo" she says with a smile, "Now get ready, we're coming up on another checkpoint." Isane pulls back on the charging handle and releases, loading a round into the chamber...

Jasper woke from his dozing by Jenkins' tapping on his helmet.
"Sir, we're close to our objective."
"Huh- thanks, Jenkins. But please don't call me sir. Where is Jeremy?"
"He is enjoying the ride, sir."
"MORE POWEEEEERRRRRR!!" Jeremy's voice trailed along the countryside, him standing on top of some Voss logistic crates. He is definitely enjoying the ride.

Ah, a new guy. Go check out the wiki to get up to speed on things, eh?

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

Overwatch Due East.

Phase End.

Hey, I guess I'm (another) new guy. I've read the wiki, and if I can interject 2 teeny tiny questions: A. How the hell can you tell which squad is which on the board, and B. Where do the Ironclad stats come from? Are they custom?

>>17197321

Squads can be distinguished by the different unit icons and numbers. For instance, if you're A3, you can tell yourself out by finding a group of A's (distinguised by being small circles with the hatch mark in them) with the number 3 written inside the icon.

As for the Ironclads, they're a fairly recent addition to the game, and the wiki hasn't accounted for their inclusion--at least not yet.

But if you still wanna join, pick out a class and a tripcode. Also, read the Field Manual on the wiki.

>Face South East, watch for Hostiles from the south.

"Baaad feelin' bout this, watch for enemies from the south. Tenkherd out.

>>17197321
check out the numbers next to our names, and look at the numbers next to the unit markers. They match up. See the four circles with the slash cut off one end on the car to the far left? The ones with the number two stuck to them? Those are my guys! The shape corresponds to my [E], meaning combat engineer! the 2 menas that I'm the second engineer squad on the board!

>>17197321

Ironclads are a pretty new addition to the arsenal, they got introduced back in the Hinzerhaus mission debriefing:
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/16902577/

Essentially it's an upgrade to standard infantry that boosts your stats, but with some unique rules for deployment. Either you pay a second deployment slot to get a whole squad in 'Clads, as my Coyote squad has done, or you can just deploy a single squad member as an Ironclad at no additional cost (or just be a solo-member unit in the first place, like Caster or Scout).

Aha! Gotcha guys, thanks much for the help.

Tripcode, B7? And a unit of Ragnyllian assault troops equipped with Battle Standards (If that's kosher...)

Oh, sorry, I suppose Tripcode would be A3, wouldn't it? Sorry I derped that hard.

>>17197424

uh negative hawk
those are unit designators

tripcodes are like password/authenticators so no one would take over your unit and make them do crazy stuff(notice those random letters/numbers after the names)

e.i. in the 4chan name field add a "#" sign after your name followed by your password of choice

ex. [A1]Mcoy#tripcode

>>17197563
Actually, Tripcodes are the things you put after the # in your nametag. So, for example, you'd need to put in [A3]Bludhawk#whateveryourpasswordis in your name field.

Enemy Phase.

Okay. Thankyou all again. Sorry about that misunderstanding...*Scratches head*

>>17197637
>>17197563

You would be A4, trooper. And don't sweat it; just deploy next turn and try not to do something stupid, die, or both.

>>17197637
(Pvt. Ferrus): "Don't worry, recruit, you'll get it! Just ask Jim-jam here; he showed up on his first day with his engineering kit accidentally replaced with cans of Jello!"
(Pvt. James "Jiggly Jim" Jeager): "It's true! Cherry flavor and EVERYTHING!"

>>17197680
"I do love me some Jello!"
"Ssh, let them talk, Jeremy. We got potential enemies to watch out for."

>>17197637
By the way, you're commanding a squad of 3 dudes, so you can roleplay it between them or something.

"You guys do know command calls you the suicide unit right? Because you always come out alive from missions that should kill you."

"With all this chatter, I'd think yud all gon' and went soft on me."

(Will do, thanks so much guys, you're all awesome)

The three troopers climb out of a maintenance hatch (Upon the first available turn) one hex S, and one hex SE of armslave unit 3. All three of them are as green as can be, pressed uniforms and shiny new assault rifles. One of the privates pipes up to the 3rd lieutenant leading them. "See, told you we could sleep down there for a while."

>>17197610

Ever prone to surges of curiosity, Sterling squad is yet again distracted temporarily from resupplying; this time by the mysterious...support train that is passing them by.
(Pvt. Ferrus "Neckbeard" Freegear): "Hoo boy! That looks like artillery, doesn't it?"
(Pvt. Tyrawinn "Sick-Flow" Jeager): "I never saw any reports of the Voss using rail artillery! Don't worry though, it could be worse. We could be bla-"
(Pvt. Ferrus "Neckbeard" Freegear): "DON'T say it!"
(Pvt. Tyrawinn "Sick-Flow" Jeager): "Fine! Ya jerk (jokingly)! It could be worse; we could be Voss AND work for a terrible band!"
(Pvt. James "Jiggly Jim" Jeager): "Hey Johnny, they sure got a lotta stuff on that train! Are we still supposed to be all sneaky?"
(Pvt. Tyrawinn "Sick-Flow" Jeager): "Of course, Jim! Why would you ask that?! You know what, you're on fire now! Roll around on the ground!"
(Pvt. James "Jiggly Jim" Jeager): *falls to the ground screaming, pretending to be on fire* "AAAAGHGH! I'm turning into a black guy!"
(Pvt. Ferrus "Neckbeard" Freegear): "I gotta admit, it's kinda tempting. That's a lot of supplies, and I bet that ammo gets the lion's share of it." *glances at his own supplies, noticing Jeremy as he climbs down from the boxes with a slight ash-mark on his helmet* "Pffft, haha! Hey, are you okay? Jimmy, I think you just made a new best friend! Foreign debris friends make great friends, you know!"

Jimmy hurriedly finishes packing his engineer's kit, making sure that it isn't ENTIRELY full of Jello this time, and runs over to say hello. The other three troopers exchange smirks before doing the same.

The three assault troops stay quiet, but loosen up, seeing how noone's started shooting them yet. (From their side or the enemies.) Laying on the deck of the train and checking their weapons and ammo. Nervous, but ready.

"What the hell have I gotten myself into..."

>>17202391
GLORY, Private. GLORY.

>>17202391
(Pvt. Ferrus "Neckbeard" Freegear): "You ain't seen nothin yet, man! We haven't even gotten the chance to launch any of our own men into the air while on fire yet! How do you think Ghoul got his bandages?"
(Pvt. Annie "Giraffe Eggs" Jeager): "He was like a beautiful bird, except he was on fire!"
(Pvt. James "Jiggly Jim" Jeager): "And screaming!"
(Pvt. Annie "Giraffe Eggs" Jeager): "Exactly!"

Isane goes to pull a smoke from her pack, but stops herself as she glances over at Ghoul, catching his eye for just a moment. "Hey! Futureman," she yells with a grin, waving her pack through the air, "Trade ya? I've been smoking this Voss stuff for years and it's starting to get old."

Pvt Calthius: "On fire, through the air?"
Pvt Xeal: "Sounds like fun!"
Pvt. DeHavik: "And I thought we would just have to worry about the enemy..."

>>17204807
The massive Russian covered in bandages looked at Isane with half a smirk and a gleam in the one visible eye. He only had two cartons left of what he called the good cigarettes from his time but sharing a pack with the fellow smoker only seemed right. "Yeah I'll trade, these coffin nails I got are high quality stuff, might as well share the wealth eh?" Ghoul would approach her swapping one of his packs of smokes with the one she was offering before perking a brow at the Captain, "Have you been able to contact Miss Susan of late? I can't seem to get a hold of her."

"Nah, she doesn't seem the talkative type, but I can try eh? Isane reaches over to the spotter/radiowoman of her squad, a girl by the name of Foley, who hands her the phone piece to the semiportable backpack radio, and attempts to open connections to Mary Susan. "What did you wanna ask her anyhow?" she asks, a sly grin spreading across her face as she instinctively covers the receiver with one hand, "If she could open a portal in time and fling you into the future?"

How hard would it be for me to join in right now? I haven't played yet, but I have been reading up on the old threads. there are so many though, so I dunno what is what nowadays.

>>17206647

Well since there's a bit of a lull right now, you *could* join in next action phase. Just pick yourself a class and make yourself a tripcode.

>>17206713
What are the classes? Just the old stuff?

>>17206733

Have you visited the wiki? All the current Ragnyllian classes are posted right at the bottom--field manual, too.

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

rolled 2, 3 = 5

>>17206647
Pretty easy, you've got a name and trip so you just need a class.

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

You can find the classes in the link, next time the game starts backup just deploy on an action phase and you're good to go.

Hey guys. The newbie, reporting back in. Besides Ragnyllian and Aeoni, what other factions are available to play? (Just curious)

So, if I wanted to be a Vanguard knight, i'd do this ^ right?

I MAKE ART!

>>17206903
Yup.

During game, you'd also be designated a number, like I'm [C1]. Since you are the only Vanguard we have for the moment, you'd be [V1].

>>17207017
Sweet, I'm reading the manual right now. Adjusting now.

Other fun question. Just read that peons get benefits from their CO's. Whose chain of command does my unit fall under?

>>17207149

every superior officer really

iirc there are 3 officers with command auras

Cpt. Isane +2 health
Lt. Kess +1 health
Maj. Gunther +2(?) hvy wpns damage

you get every bonus that applies to your unit

i.e. infantry units get the +3 health but not hvy wpns bonus (unless they're using heavy weapons)

Awesome, danke

>>17207014
I could have IC draw that you know (or at least try)

Command! I'd be honored if I could get a deployment This round!

reporting in! not much going... yet.

>>17207390
>>17207439

relax mates

roll call hasn't even sounded yet

games usually start 10-11 pm EST

As IronCommand is busy reconstructing the command network....

Your nightly game of trains and robbers will resume Thursday.

Friday will also be a high option. As well as the weekend.

On this fact you can make sure you will get as many chances in to get as much info on the Thanatos as possible.

Aw man, and I was so excited for my first kill.

>>17207999
No worries man, I haven't killed, either.

Bloody hell, how do I keep missing when these threads pop up?

>>17208398

they do tend to pop out without warning don't they?

anyways looks like there's a definite sched for next game so that should make it hard to miss

bump to keep floating for a while.

Guys, I've been thinking. Since the train gets damaged from the force of the giant turret firing, what's stopping us from creating some sort of brace on the train that will compensate for the jarring force of the turret firing while the train is going at a quick pace?

>>17211609

what're you going to brace it against though?

building the brace on the train would be pointless

probably building some sort of muzzle brake on the cannon is a more viable option, unless it's already there then . . .

>>17211609
(I believe it only got damaged because it was fired while we were in motion)

Hm... maybe we could investigate the main cannon, and see what info that reveals. On the subject of preventing damage to the train, maybe we could specify that we will be firing at a low muzzle velocity. The damage shouldn't be effected much, especially if the rounds are HE instead of just a kinetic penetrator or a cannonball.
Also, maybe instead of a brace we could rig up a recoil dampener. The force of the cannon will be mostly eaten up when the cannon slides back on the dampener rail instead of transferring the force directly into the train's chassis.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:US75FiringWWI.ogv

Hmm...that could work, maybe.

Bumping with interest

Ready for tonight's game!

>>17221238
Negatory, keep it to the IRC chanel
http://cbe003.chat.mibbit.com/?server=irc.rizon.net&channel=%23skirmishquest

>>17221238

Oh posh, don't crush a man just cos he had a good suggestion. Sure, we could talk IH here--least until the game picks up later today.

So...game today?

>>17223761

yes

likely 10-11 pm EST

>>17221238

On-subject or Canon discussion about Ironhearts is greatly appreciated and will hold a considerable amount of posterity if posted in the board. Despite the existence of an IH channel, main communications and official actions only process on the board.

The IH IRC is meant solely for planning, OOG discussion, small talk, and
good

clean

dirty fun.

In the meantime, I guess we can talk about the game. Now from the last thread, we got a whole bunch of Voss money--perfectly good legal tender. I say we spend it on something--guns, armor, vehicles, anything. Clovis would be a good investment, I think.

"Finally! Kick these rockets into high gear, gentleman!" The remainder of the squad's comms were drowned out as Clyde hollered, as he leapt over the edge of the train and boosted himself into range of the Voss infantry. He was quickly followed by two more ironclads and Kess's skirmishers, who fell upon the outnumbered Voss with total abandon.

"Don't be worrying your pretty little head private, we know what we're doing." Clyde was glad no one could see his sheepish grin. No one had caught hi-

At that, Atramente's voice chimed in over a private comm channel. "You forgot about the loot, didn't you." Clyde didn't bother to respond - that smart-mouth always knew he was right anyways, no need to reinforce that fact.
