After a fairly long drive, you find yourself in the small village of Venya, which is honestly nothing more than a pit stop on the way to the larger town of Solis. However, it serves as a good staging point to mount a defense against any potential breakthroughs. It sits in the middle of the main pass to Solis and is on the only road large enough to handle any large scale evacuation.

Fortunately, you're not alone. The Ustian 8th and 19th Infantry Companies are sitting on your left and right flanks respectively, and even Penbury has lent his fighters to support, sprinkling them along the mountain ridges to watch for Imperial scouts and harass potential advances from the high ground.

That leaves you in charge of defending your particular sector the line, which is predicted to be where the heaviest assaults will take place, of course. You're now regretting impressing Freyberg so much with your past actions. Though, at least he's not actively trying to get you killed like General Damon was known to do.

The imps love their heavy armour, even if they've got more elite mobile units. Theoretically they'd be using their armour to cover hte advance of their infantry.
Once we're inside the town its the otherway around, and I believe we've got the best advantage in the urban environment.

>>25573796

>Deploy our forces at the edge of town. Engage the Imps on the open road where there's little cover.

>>25573861
Longs tactically sound. I would prefer to attempt at breaking up any potential formations they have and thinning their ranks before they make it into the town. Less going into the town the better in my book. Eh.

You decide to deploy your forces along the edge of the town. You want to engage the Imps as soon as you can. However, thinking ahead, you also prepare fallback positions in case you have to retreat into the town itself. If Imperial tanks had a serious weakness, it was urban combat.

Speaking of armor, Headcase naturally has hidden away Kilroy in a ruined barn, with good concealment and a sight line for side shots on the road. Julia's Fenrir, however, is much a much hardier tank, so it could afford to be out in the open...

>>25573950

She's a great tank and no doubt she'll score a few kills, but she's still a tank, once they're in the town they'll organise to make it mince.

Remember the core of imp infantry is the lancer.

Also its harder to organise a tank hunt once inside the town and under fire from infantry in buildings.

"Sorry about this, Julia, but you're gonna have to sit on the bench for this one." You say to your tanker. "Better that the Imps don't know we've got a heavy tank until it's too late."

"Ugh, fine." Julia pouts and puts Fenrir in reverse. Instead of taking position on the road like before, Julia repositions Fenrir to an alley just inside the town. Out of sight from the main road but with a good angle on the towns' entrance.

Everybody else makes the proper preparations, taking up defensive positions. Heloise fortifies the most intact buildings and erects some mines and obstacles. Your mortar team practices zeroing their artillery on preset distances. Alek stalks off to find a good hide spot.

You first check on your left flank, being held by the Ustian 8th. They're led by Captain Grazani. They're a bit understrength, which is worrying, but their morale in general is quite high and it appears they won't break and run at the first sign of trouble, which is good.

On your right, the 19th, led by a Captain Chamberlain, seems to be in good condition as well. Unlike the 8th, they're fresh and at full strength, and have had a bit of combat experience already. You honestly believe you've got nothing to worry about on this end.

"Captain, we've picked up movement." Penbury warns you on the radio. "Imperial column. Big one."

"Comms are silent. These Imps are good." Elizabeth warns. "If I have to guess, they might be a recon unit of some sort."

"Penbury, do you have any concrete numbers or composition?"

"No, but whatever they're driving, they're fast. Faster than tanks. We need to wait for them to get closer for a positive ID, but I'm guessing armored cars or motorcycle troops."

"Makes sense. Those would be more fuel efficient." Sam points out.

>>25574767
>Hold up. Let them come to us

Yup. This. Quick probability lesson for people.

Chance of getting two 1s in a row after the first 1 has been rolled? 1 in 20.

>>25574767
"Let the come to us. I don't want them figuring out our full capability." You say. You give a heads up to Grazani and Chamberlain on the approaching Imps, and they assure you they'll handle their sectors.

Up ahead, you see four motorcycle scouts and three armored cars barreling down the road. However, they stop just short of coming into town, holding back to a relatively safe distance.

>Take them out now while they're stopped.

>>25574896
"Hold it." You whisper to your squad. "Let them get closer."

You then see Imps dismount from their bikes and the armored cars. There's roughly about sixteen troops total. They start moving forward carefully, taking care to spread out as they approach the outskirts of the town.

"FIRE!" You yell.

You and Ramirez open up with your smgs at full auto.

Tarin, Brillant, and Heloise try to pick out individual targets with their rifles.

Sam and Isolde let off frag lances.

Alek also takes a shot.

>>25575142
Fortunately, the shots are all hastily aimed as the Imps are more concerned about finding cover than aiming. Plus, you're in a fortified position, so you're relatively safe. Besides a few grazing shots, you're all relatively unharmed, though Isolde has a rather nasty gash on her forehead where a ricochet had struck her. Nothing a bit of gauze couldn't fix.

Your squad returns fire.

The second volley cuts down another three Imps. Caught in the open like this, they've got no hope of winning. One of them, most likely an officer, stands up and begins frantically waving at his men to retreat when his head explodes like a melon. Obviously Alek found his mark.

With their officer down, what would have been an orderly withdrawal suddenly turns into a rout and the remaining recon squad breaks and runs. The crew of the armored cars finally realize what's happening and begin firing their machine guns. However, at this range, and with your position, the best they can hope for is to suppress you.

"Headcase, will you do the honor?" You say.

"Sure thing, boss." Headcase replies happily. There's a distant boom as Kilroy's 76mm gun fires. At this range, and at a stationary target, there's no chance to miss. The rear most armored car explodes in flames.

Meanwhile, Sam, Isolde, and Alek take their shots against the remaining armored cars, while you call in a mortar strike to mop up the retreating infantry.

The remaining Imps then pile into the last armored car, which quickly reverses and moves to get away on the road. Headcase only has time for one shot.

In the distance, you can hear the chatter of distant gunfire, and the dull thump of an explosion.

"Good job."

You then check in on Grazani and Chamberlain. Chamberlain's men managed to demolish the recon unit sent their way. Grazani's men fired on the enemy in their sector and managed to drive them off before they could get too close to the town.

"Not a peep." Elizabeth assures you. "Whoever they're reporting to, they've got no idea what's in store for them."

Well, that was good. That meant you wouldn't have to reposition Headcase. He'd actually taken quite a liking to his ambush spot.

It's another couple of hours of quiet before Penbury gets on the horn again.

"Another incoming column. It's a lot bigger than the last one. Tanks and APCs. Looks like a vanguard."

"I guess they're coming to see why their recon elements haven't reported back." Elizabeth muses.

This. They'll know the min they roll up what happen. Hit them before they figure it out.

>>25575672
>They'll realize what's happening soon enough. Hit them once they come into sight!
Like, for instance, when they see all the shell casings and scorch marks on the road.

>>25575672
>Do it like before. Wait for them to get close.

Lances at the front armour elements, mortar strikes at the rear, and we'll have ourselves a nice killzone.

Headcase and Julia should have a commanding range advantage with their guns.

>>25575672
"This isn't just another recon element." You warn your squad. "They're geared up for a fight, and once they realize what's going on, that's just what they'll do. Hit them the moment you see them."

Up ahead, you can see the vanguard unit arriving. Four APCs and two tanks.

"I got a shot, Boss. Want me to take it?" Headcase asks.

That's his job even if the infantry dismount we can still handle that easier over tanks at range.

"Headcase, focus on the tanks! We'll take care of the rest!" You say.

"Okaaaay!"

With that, Sam and Isolde fire off their lances. Even though the range is a bit extreme, they might as well fire a few shots off. They've got plenty of ammo.

Alek also takes a shot.

Headcase's cannon booms again.

Headcase's shot strikes the lead tank in the side, punching through one side and out the other. It doesn't explode, but it's pretty clear its dead. Isolde's lance scores a glancing hit on an APC, causing it to veer off the road and get stuck in a ditch.

At this point, the tanks screech to a halt and begin firing at where they think Headcase is. Meanwhile, the APCs begin disgorging their troops. Four whole squads exit the vehicle and begin to spread out. Sporadic fire from the Ustian units on your flanks meets them, as well as some artillery.

They're still a ways off, well outside your ideal engagement range.

The tanks miss wildly. Since they weren't looking, and Headcase only shot once, of course they have no idea where he is.

Meanwhile the infantry begin spreading out. One squad each move off to engage a flank, or at least try to. They're quickly pinned by mass of fire as the Ustians start getting in their groove. The remaining two squads, however, starting pushing your way.

Three Imps fall over in the hail of gunfire, but they're not cowed. They've still got numbers and they know it.

Meanwhile, things go much better on the anti-armor front. Both Sam and Isolde are amazingly on target, their two lance shots striking and destroy the remaining two Imp tanks in synchronized beauty. Headcase manages to knock out one of the APCs.

Undaunted, or maybe not quite realizing they've lost their armor support, the Imps charge forward, firing wildly as they come.

Meanwhile, Grazani's mostly cleared out his flank, though Chamberlain is having a bit of trouble, as the Imps managed to charge his positions and there is some vicious close combat going on.

Of course, with your superior position, they can't really score any good hits on you, but they're steadily getting closer, meaning they can start bringing their meaner weapons to bear like their lances and smgs, and possibly even flamethrowers. You don't want that happening.

More bullets start flying at your building, and Isolde and Ramirez take a couple more glancing hit, their trauma plates already cracking and straining under the pressure.

There's still about fifteen Imps left, and they'll be in close range soon. You're not confident you can hold them all off.

The Imps fire as they charge, and more bullets come flying in. Isolde takes yet ANOTHER bullet, but her armor soaks it. (Seriously, the RNG really has it out for her!) Another stray bullet punches through your shoulder, causing you to wince in pain.

However, your return fire is more punishing. A number of Imps are wiped out from gunfire, and an excellent shot from Headcase wipes the remainder of them out.

"That looks like all of them." You sigh as Heloise administers ragnaid to your shoulder wound.

"For now." Isolde frowns. "Those were just scouting forces. The real attack will come now. "

A quick check in with Grazani and Chamberlain reveal that their losses were minimal as well. So far so good.

Penbury then warns of the third wave incoming, and it is BIG. Ten tanks and six APCs. Realizing this, the Ustians start calling in their artillery.
