Infantry: Push up the center, head for the nests. Most of all we need a clear view of the field. Having a central point to work around would be good.

Armor: Head up the East Island to the high ground. Should be able to cover most of the field from there

Johann, you appear to not be deployed. Wait for a halberd to dock. Also lose the corpsier, one is plenty, and Ghoulcalling is my job.

>>18233905
I clearly specified for the halberd my squad is in to land at a place, and for my actions to go through when we landed. It doesn't not hurt to have an extra corpsier on hand, and more than one person can raise ghouls. Quite being such a baby.

Oh my god this is beautiful.

I have no idea what is going on but there is a fleet of airships.

Voss confirmed for best faction so far.

Enemy Phase.

26 terror

>>18234077

Cotton, you need to redeploy.

Johann, you are the officer with a V unit and corpsier, correct your tags, you're supposed to have a guard detail by default.

As for why I want you to lose the corpsier, I'm not being a baby, it's just wasteful to have two people burning actions ordering ghouls when one could be ordering people. Moot point now, but try not to give conflicting orders, since you seem to have opted out of using the IRC channel to coordinate.

For anyone who wasn't deployed during last action phase, you can still join the fight next action phase!

>Deploy on X halberd
>Actions

There are two halberds docked currently, one on the middle island and the other on the eastern one.

>>18234745
Tag adjusted.

Ready to deploy next phase

>Orders incoming.

vonClaude, pelt that...thing...with rockets. I want it out of my sight. Hold off on docking for now, and maintain a suppression pattern at l6 altitude.

Cotton, Johann, and Tao, push forward on the bridge.

Same orders as before, men. Press forward, keep the pressure on the pigeons. Also be aware of the priest at the far north (The bananaman).

Z-Day White, remember to build a comms tower to help our air capabilities

Any D's on the field, get flares out as far as you can. We need as much visibility as we can. Focus first on the western island, as it's where we have least presence

All troops, remember you have shovels. If you aren't shooting, dig a trench for cover and treasure

The enemy has fortifications in place and are sending unknown resistance our way.

Remain vigilant and press onwards !

Enemy Phase begins...
The 2nd pass of The Day has struck.

FO GUnner's drop faced a bit of rough landing, Oderkonn you bastard ...


. . . . . .

It seems like so far the Kashir are making a much less blatant show of power than what we're used to. They've probably got something up their sleeves. Remember to check all buildings, and as soon as you get the chance get entrenched for the inevitable counterattack. Also, Gustafo, as soon as you get the chance fire some flares NE

...Anyone else feel like there might be something in the water?

>>18236900
"By my recollection our Halberds and Destroys are equipped with Thermite. If you think there might be something there, give the word and it'll get flashboiled, command."

>>18236900
A note of interest, the building on the central island has "20" drawn on it. Not sure how that is significant, but we were heading toward that building anyway.

>>18236900

Yes Sir! But first I better get rid of the rounds already in my launcher. Eh heh heh..

Gunner climbs shakily to her feet, the world spinning beneath her, and she comes face to face with a group of Kashir. There was nothing she could do, besides drop her revolver, and whisper a few more lyrics.

Phase End.

Urgent note to all troops: The enemy casters are firing bolts of water at us. While slow travelling, these are still potentially lethal. Keep on the move, or take cover.

I'm sorry to say my eyes no longer see straight, and I have early classes in less than 7 hours. I've left my orders for Gunner to execute.

Hopefully I don't miss much. See you all tonight. I apologize for leaving my post early

Enemy Phase.

Another tower is breached-
Shaman destroyed-

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSftkNqh5-I&feature=related

" ! "

Those people surrendered ! Kshh

Why would y

do that !?!?

>>18238346
Isane gently places a hand on Vilkas' shoulder.
"It's regrettable, but we can't take any chances, there is no telling what they might have done."

>>18238346

"The heathens do not abide by the rules of war, they steal and murder children, they summon deathgods...I assure you it was a ruse. No kashirin man we have encountered so far has been willing to accept surrender over martyrdom, why should these be different."

He grins maliciously. There would be no quarter from the madman in the tank. "Von claude. Set course for the next tower, and prep the bombs."

It is now the Third pass of the day...
It seems the enemy reveals his hands when the opportunity arises..

Dai bombers have come out in full force,
and it seems the enemy is insistent on protecting their center...

Due to today's events, our prince must retire for now...

What's that thing coming out of the lake?

>>18243799

Looks to be a ghoulified version of one of those bird...things. Might be a good idea to sic a Corpsier on it, get it under control.

If we're curious about joining, can we deploy next phase?

>>18248588

Next phase will be a full roster signup again, so yes - you're free to join. You're actually free to join during any action phase, so long as there is an appropriate point to do so from (such as a docked Halberd, which we have two of now).

Don't forget to reference:
http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Iron_Hearts

and the IRC chat:
#skirmishquest on Rizon

posting current unit index for reference.

Late night bump.

>>18251205
Even later night bump.

Oh boy Here comes that Armor Patch !
[Honestly its the same rules with more stuff clarified but hey I changed like 2 things here.]

> Armor immune to piercing and slashing.

> Armor Immune to fire

> > Heavy deals half damage , AP deals whole damage , concussive damage also deals half damage, heavy concussive [explosions] damage deals whole damage.

> DR is ultimate and counted against each individual shot

> AP halves DR , Destroy Ignores DR

> Barraging can be done with explosive damage or AOE impulse.

Armor Counter Measures and basic Damage rulings.

> Crits deal twice the damage, under normal circumstances where damage can be dealt, deals damage whole against immunities [DR is ultimate]

> Barraging once again can only be performed by single shot weaponry set to coordinate against a single target. The result is one damage packet instead of seperate ones and can only be done with : Weapons with AOE , Explosive, or Crushing Damage
Damage type X rulings: Unless it is Heavy or AP, all other damage types range from doing half to no damage against armor. The DM reserves the right to rule these on a case by case basis.


Tell me if this is good. Implementation deadline will occur when game starts tonight at around 6PM EST.

You have until then to say something about it.

>>18253143

As a sidenote, major patches like this don't normally occur during missions. This is a special case .

The current armor rules are only gulfed by grey area rulings that were reserved for " case by case " basis such as:

> Barrage implemented by any singleshot weapon and can occur acciddentally with no real way of conveying itself [Most players pick up on what works and what doesn't this isnt the case with Barraging]
> Damage type X ignoring armor rules altogether
> Armor survivability always murky.

rolled 1, 8, 5, 9, 9, 8, 10, 3, 6, 9, 2, 2, 7, 1, 6, 3, 4, 10, 4, 7 = 114

These are test rolls from two V squads equalling 20 rolls at rating three. Under the current rules they do 4 Damage on crits, and 2 damage against armor.

If there was a platoon of V's [3 pairs] the first 10 rolls would be counted twice.

Take from this what you will.

rolled 10, 8, 2, 9, 9, 10, 7, 9, 8, 1, 2, 2, 2, 10, 4, 6, 1, 5, 7, 10 = 122

One more test roll.

rolled 2, 2, 10, 4, 4, 7, 9, 2, 1, 2, 10, 5, 8, 1, 3, 7, 5, 9, 2, 10 = 103

And a final one.

>>18253203
>>18253218
>>18253224

Things you can surmise from this test. Which represents a pretty accurate average of rolls.

> Bitanks under this ruling would have been destroyed by the first volley. [unexpected but....]
> Ragnyllian light armor would have been destroyed by the first volley [acceptable]
> A voss light tank would be destroyed in 2 volleys due to its DR1
[acceptable.]
> WereRitters can fight Armor and classifies as Monster X. In this case, Monster x uses 19 attacks and destroys a light armor column with heavy slashing damage 1, but can fight a tank with DR1 and come out on top in 3 rounds.

>DR 2-3 should never be engaged by infantry unless other tactics are used to fight tanks. DR 4 would require AP automatics to do any kind of damage ! [Agreeable to Armor units]

Incoroporeal or magic attacks may incur damage x rulings and may still ignore armor rules altogether [agreeable.]

The patch sounds alright--then again, I don't play armor; I'm just rather surprised that machineguns are now capable of ripping through tank armor, given good rolls.

>>18255344
Makes me glad these weren't implemented when we were playing Ragnyll...

>>18253313
I ordinarily wouldn't weigh in on this from a game design standpoint (at least not on the board) but I will say this. This was a much needed patch. Up until now armor in general has just felt like just another unit. Now when a tank shows up on the field it is rightful for the opposing side to shit their pants as they are supposed to.
I may also enjoy this because it takes Iron Skulls to the next level of terrifying on the battlefield. But thats just my personal love of the unit.

All personnel commence reporting in for tonight's exciting episode of Ironhearts. There are still a few hours left before game starts

"Ready and waiting, command."

(botting vC if he doesn't get back before then)
(will be botted by vC if the game doesn't start before 5pst)

>>18256753

"Ready to go, sir"

>>18256753

Won't be able to make it until later, unfortunately. Would someone do me a kindness and withdraw me from the field?

Everyone still alive ?! Radio respond, HQ respond ! We just been hit by suicide bombers !

>>18256836

To be fair we might start at around 7:30 8 est.

>>18256753
I am still alive in here command, barely. Requesting some sort of action agains that priest in the tower and potentially repair. I am not sure how much longer my vehicle will last.

"I repeat, this is Sgt. Gunner, my team is gone and I'm trapped in a tower to the north, can anyone reach me to assist?"

"What was that?"
"A large bird I suppose."
Lennox looked around and saw his squadmates. He saw skeletons staring back.
"Let's get on with the battle, lads!"

>>18262363
"Halberd pilots, there's someone on the horn, sounds like it's for you mates."

Metzger, we're aiming for the northern tower. Don't concern yourself with the enemy just capture it.

WHen the turn starts hitch a ride, then continue movement from where I leave off.

Welp, at least I got a single missile crit...
Hooray for new double damage rules.
Also just noticed I don't need those last 3, since [Is1] only fired a single burst.

Please try your best to preserve the skeleton we've uncovered, even if you must use it for combat. It could provide extremely useful information with proper research

>>18262752
I'll keep it back and leave it to your control, you can decide when things get bad enough that we need it.

> Aerial transport inercepted, local enemy forces in the area subjugated

Game to continue Saturday Night.

>>18263334

What kinda eggs could those be that the priests are rolling away--more eagles or possibly dragons?

>>18263808
Whatever they are, we need to scramble them. Perhaps Gustav, Elizabet, and their Halberd can fire on them, they seem to be trying to load them up that other Roc/Gryphon. Though perhaps we should first attempt to capture them.

>>18264281
Capturing's not a bad idea. However, I may just be seeing things but when I look at the holes that have been dug, NE of the dragon's corpse and due west of that I see lurking red eyes. Anyone else?

Since Armor got the royal treatment, I figure I'd throw the other end of the gaming spectrum a bone and test out stealth gameplay with Hunters. A bit premature I admit, but this was also long overdue.

> Shadow Meld: Hunters can use an action to gain stealth while in an area of substantially less light. Stealth is maintained while in shadow so long as aggro isn't triggered by attacking or moving outside of the shadow. Stealth maintenance and rules outside of shadow still apply like normal.

> OverAct: Hunters can REACT to enemy actions done during enemy phase using the
IF > THEN command prompt. Actions will be processed like normal and the Hunter's turn is processed DURING ENEMY phase instead of player phase.

Fast Crawl > Hunters Crawl at -1 movement as opposed to half movement.

Doom Trap Clarification:
Doom traps can imbue the status ailment: DEATH on any target that is no larger than 1 hex [however multiple Doom traps in one cluster might.....]. This obviously won't work on Undead Units, and can be quite a stretch against mechanical ones. So a bit of fluff will be needed here. [3 million spikes trap , guilllotine etc]

>>18268005

During the remainder of this battle, Hunter stats will be set this way in order to test them.

>>18268029
I'll try to not die and give a good field test.
