Shitscribble warning.

Alright here's the deal. Suggested movement/firing targets are labeled in green/red respectively. You can ignore them if you have a better idea, don't feel like listening to me, etc. Blue flags are prospective flag locations for maximum coverage (this does not necessarily make them optimal locations).

Conrad, move to the side and get that giant on its knees so it exposes its head to attack. Azure, spot it for me while you move up, I'm going in for the kill. And Sergeant? Watch out, they seem to be using siege weapons to bombard your location.

Perturabo, get into a position to disrupt both their casters with that earthquake, it'll hopefully tie them up long enough for us to gain some ground (and prevent them from doing anything tricky with that fire). I would have you do it to that giant but that risks penalties to friendlies. Alternately you could try and kill one of those casters now but I expect you'll be safer underground than above.

Rest of you avoid those flames. Alternately find a way to put them out, we don't need a forest fire on top of our other concerns.

Don't expect as coherent a battle plan from me once the game gets going. We've got some planning time now so I intend to use it.

>>23132402
((Yeah, it's me. Don't worry, that wasn't my password. Just a typo and such. Also, I thought a character could only be revived in the first turn after they died, and it seems the Life-array was destroyed.))

>>23136588
Pardon me, I meant earth array.

>>23136548
"Well private, there are always risks to using magic. For example, sometimes the arrays overload and the feedback forces the mana right back through you /violently/.

And sometimes, you create a construct to combat an enemy caster, only to have it manifest in the eye of a sleeping Guardian...


Just do me a favor and don't use any of the arrays currently on the field, they are being used to power the construct. We may need it to fight that Guardian.

You'll have to throw down a new array unfortunately."

Night Is falling... The enemy rampages still. Get Ready !

> Enemy Phase.

Alright. I think we've got the logistics in place for two more platoons. I think I'll be using one myself but I'll approve a platoon for someone who wants it.

>Platoon Squads: From the old manuals
Units can now have platoon strength troops comprising of up to 3 combined units and no more than 2 types. Example; a Platoon with Vanguards and Assaut will be [VAV1] , [AAV2] [VAA3] or [AVV4]. Upgrades will be communicable across all members of your unit.

Platoons cannot break unit cohesion and cannot be spaced more than 1 hex apart. Unless given the order to " Post " in which the unit will remain stationary until called. In which case they will make it to your Platoon at their best possible speed and only that.

At the end of each action Platoons must take special care in how they are formationed. Box, Circle, Arrow, Line, and Wall formations are among the most basic formations. With sub variations in scatter. 2scatter means no more than 2 members occupy a space. 1scatter means the unit is fanned out as best as possible. Also take into account which units will favor the front, and which will bring up the rear, this is important in determining attack patterns as the front will typically attack first with rear on clean up.

Attack Pattern:
Designate attack patterns in chunks of Front, Rear, Leftern or Rightern in combination with unit type to make processing easier. With 3 squads under your unit, micro ordering by single units will not get processed.

Movement: The platoon will move only as fast as its slowest Unit. However, faster Units can extend to the front of elongated formations.

! Beware Explosions !
And other AOE capable units like Enemy Armor, Ms Casters, and easily identifiable traps.

>>23139557
"Well for one thing resurrection is forbidden by several Aeoni acts, for another, the ducky is a cursed machine, whose eternal foe is the cliff. They are fated to do battle unto the end of time. Cliffs are winning."

>>23139579
"...Well that explains some things."

>>23139579
"The thing about the ducky is entirely true. You'll notice that real duckies often slam themselves into cliffs, no one knows why. When it was found that this model of aircraft had the same problem, well, that's what they named it. The moment a hunk of rock took to the sky those duckies were done for."

He glances up at the giant rock thing, "As for resurrection, well, I hear those Aeonians even ban things like those shock pads that restart the heart after it stops, the experimental ones you know? So I wouldn't listen to their tripe except to pay lip service to it while they're present. I mean, do you REALLY want to listen to a bunch of guys who claim that all non-humans need to be exterminated, yet are taking orders from a Drakkei?"

((check the third race sheet for iffram to see what Drakkei are. Short answer: Dragon People))

Batter up! Come on people!

"Conrad! Can you provide me some cover against those fists? If you can get me and my boys close, we can blow those snakes right off the poor sucker's face!"

"I don't like the idea of this thing rampaging through the countryside, though. That Dragon team member, over there, she seems to be indicating the snakes. Technically, the guardian only woke up when the earthen serpents were conjured. If we destroy them, it might stop its rampage."

Everyone's so anxious...Come on people we've all fought worst then this, band together, artillery pin its hands down, aim for the eyes. If someone can, blow those snakes off, it might actually make it less angry.

"I have an idea about that, sir. I think I can tap the arrays we've got up to launch a boulder at high speeds towards the target."

"I personally vote for taking down those snakes. It's all fine and dandy to complete our primary objective, but if this thing is gonna kill innocents, well I think it'll undo all the good will we've earned."

Alright. Reminder to all troops: primary objective is to flag the North edge of the map. This takes priority over ALL others including killing that beast. Not to mention we're already in shit city with the Queen and I don't really care to find out that some random stone giant was a magical cousin or some shit.

To that end, I need Ralin to get a smokescreen up to cover Perturabo when he reveals himself. And since you're platooned maybe just smoke /everything/ and keep that giant guessing. Rest of us will run interference.

No Game Tonight due to much needed break.. Mission confirmation will happen tommorrow, however. Feel free to continue planning and be sure that this thread is alive for a confirmation.

>>23153650
Okey dokey. So what do you guys think about my earth cannon idea? Viable?

>Fire 1 Smoke Grenade forward, covering advance
>Move 5N
>Fire 1 Smoke grenade 5N
>Fire 2 Smoke Grenades NE and SE to obscure as much ground around the side of the Titan as possible
>Reload 2 blast grenades
>overwatch 4 crushing blast grenades against anything about to attack me. (especially giant hands coming down like the fist of god)

posting this for later. Because I wanna. and this isn't my main compute-mo-tron

>>23153650
Alright cool!

>>23153719
bumpity bump

Also...

general plan is to snipe snakes and provide cover for the drill-tank right?

>>23153086
Quick change of plans Helghast. Perturabo, you will wait until the phase /after/ our next to dig out and plant a flag. Everyone else will continue with the plan to run a delaying action for the next two phases with either smokescreen or attacking the snakes. As well, no one is to fire upon that sleekfoot to the north, I want it alive.

>>23158507
"Yes, the storm mage. Excellent choice for intel, not as difficult to hold as an evoker or someone with strength."

>>23158507
Really ma'am? Fair enough, I'l just twiddle my thumbs in the corner then.

>>23162147
Unless you think you can secure that storm mage and at the same time plant a flag, but it'd be better to not risk something going wrong, so I'd rather handle it myself while you plant a flag.

Hmmm I think I can blind the hand in front of that things face. Hopefully that will open its head up for targetting

>>23163662
"If you'd like, I could immobilize the storm mage with a cage spell. They are incredibly simple, almost impossible to screw up!"

>>23164301
"You Jinxed it you bloody fool!"

>>23158507
"Right ma'am. We'll cover the base of that thing with smoke and see about blasting the snakes off if we can. We can atleast gouge out the hands near us a bit ehn? Conrad! you and your boys should be able to approach under the smoke screen we're laying down!"

>>23164301
"You know, it doesn't look like she's in a state to be running off anyways. We should probably focus on taking that thing down."

This gets better and better, even if it's hard to read.

>>23166188

Radio chatter ain't the easiest thing to keep track of.

>>23169237
I meant the maps themselves.

>>23169356

Oh yeah. That takes a little bit of practice initially.

It does help to compare the before and after maps.

>>23172236
And wait for the explosions to clear.

>>23164676
Don't do anything to the stormmage itself, instead, if you don't have anything better to do, maybe try to raise some sort of cover or protection so that the guardian doesn't take a swing at it.

>>23173182
"I'm already spreading as many smokes as I can, I can't move faster than that really."

Mission will continue tomorrow at 1900. Roll call will start by then. Meanwhile your local fight-Dm will draw cool things and post them here.

>>23173351
Another day then, hope you finish before the end of the week.

>>23190103

We're talking noon here. So everyone gets to sleep.

So to reiterate. I run as far north as I can, dropping as many smokes as I can? What's everyone else gonna do?

>>23208536
A 9 isn't a crit fail, the Guardian was already underground and would have woken up eventually anyway. My spell was successful, but it just happened to use stone that was already part of the guardian.

With the accursed snakes levied from the guardian of storm rock - quiet winds roll through the hills once more ...

" Good job Ragnyll 1, a path is cleared not an enemy has been reported for miles Ragnyll's 2 will rendezvous with you by morning. Command out "

Darn didn't get to kill a single thing. Might have to requisition some xp from someone if the next battle is gonna be tougher.

=As of today IH will undergo a rebalancing overhaul. EXP gains will be listed but try not to think about upgrades yet while these rules will finally be reconstructed ! [yay ]=

Not to brag Major, but I'm pretty sure I've saved you twice now in this here battle, it's been fun. Fighting giant monsters feels more right then a bunch of wee-looking iffram people...

Exp gain:
1exp per PHASE survived

Unman mook: 1exp
Ifframi Dragon Soldier: 3exp

Guardian Hand: 5exp each 1assist
Snake Eyes: 5exp each 1assist

>>23210724
Do I get to call assist exp for everyone I quaked on the way, and do I get something for the winning move?

>>23210724
How many phases did this thread encompass? I think we ended the last thread on the third or fourth?

Spring of 657,

Encampments were set up near the woods of Stormrock. After the Ragnyllian forces have successfully subdued an enraged Guardian word had begun to spread of these green-clad demons, returned from the land of the dead.

Some people claim these to be the work of Valkyrie.

The next day , the Dragon Army would make their move ...

>>23210809

To reduce confusion, we're counting action and enemy phase. Images should be numbered and well documented to this effect.

>>23210809
The trick is to look at the image filenames, we've had 15 phases total this mission.

>>23210797
I'll give you 10 of the xp I earned this mission, which leaves me with 16, unless arresting doesn't count.

>>23210797

Tactical merits like this can be taken up with command.

>>23210864
Very well voice in the sky.

>>23210871

Technically I'm at Ragnyll command HQ. Not the sky.

XP:
15 phases : 15
Assist on Castor : 1
Blinded a hand : 5


Previous: 2
TOTAL: 23

>awaiting rebalancing before spending.

>>23210891
From the confined bowels of my death dealing earth submarine, a lot of voices are the sky, do take no offence, sir.

We heard the reports; these Skull Knights you speak of are awfully dangerous: 4exp.

XP
10 phases: 10
Assist on Castor: 1
Assist on Snake head: 1

Total: 12

>>23210944
That makes 27, subtract 10 for Perturabo, leaves me with 17 plus whatever I've already got.

As well, I'll be handling any prisoners we've acquired in addition to the sleekfoot I nabbed.

Ah well if command feels generous then I will not turn a blind eye, but I will take the captain's little gift and apply it to further good use. Alright now people drag all the corpses of this field. Command may wish to loot them and see if they have useful information.
