"So yes, it seems like our team has been set up to fail, or at least, see if it can withstand overwhelming odds." Edwin finishes with a grin.

"You seem awfully happy about this." You point out.

"Why not? It shows that our team is worth the effort to cheat against. It's almost flattering, really."

"So what do we do?" You ask.

"Well, you're our leader. That's your job to figure out." Edwin frowns.

You sigh. "Okay, Edwin, because of your superior tactical acumen, can you please give me suggestions on how to proceed?"

"Well, if you put it that way..." Edwin smiles. "There's the easy way, and there's what you'd consider the 'right' way. Do you want to end this mission as quickly as possible at any cost, or do you want to try and preserve as many lives as possible?"

Also, guys, finished writing up Sparky.

What do you think?

NAME: Marisa "Sparky" St. Germain
GENDER: Female
CLASS: Lancer
PERSONALITY: Mischievous, upbeat, and something of a kleptomaniac. Marisa prefers the most direct and straightforward solutions to her problems and possesses a reckless love for large amounts of firepower, particularly explosions. Likes mushrooms. Especially likes mushroom clouds.
BACKGROUND: The only child of an Osean merchant father and an Ustian mother. Marisa tended to be a bit of a wild child growing up, being kicked out of a dozen schools for "borrowing" the property of her classmates (they can have everything back when she was dead!) and executing a relentless deluge of pranks. Everything however changed for her when her uncle Vincenzo “Vinny” suddenly returned, seeking a reunion with his sister and her family after his mysterious years-long disappearance in the chaotic aftermath of the Second Europan War.

Now wealthy after the intervening years he had been away (of which the only thing he had revealed about was that he was employed by the eccentric Emmerian millionaire Preston B. Whitmore), he quickly reconnected with his family, developing a bond with his young niece Marisa in particular. A demolitions expert who had fought in the war, he recognised that his niece had the same talent for explosives as he did. Encouraging her talent (and warning her to keep it away from her parents), he eventually approached her father on the topic of sending her to military school to make full use of her talents.

>>26946017

Exasperated and disappointed with his daughter’s antics, who he had hoped to follow him into the business, he quickly agreed, hoping that it would sort out Marisa’s numerous disciplinary problems. With her uncle’s patronage as a former veteran combat engineer along with his wealth, Marisa was accepted into one of the most prestigious military academies in Europa, Sturmfuhrer Academy. There, despite her inevitable disciplinary problems, she thrived, mostly because of her talent for anything involving absurd amounts of firepower. Deciding to keep to a life as a soldier to keep access to her precious stock of highly powerful and unstable munitions, she continued on to the Tier One program, where she is determined to prove herself as one of the best in the art of making shit blow up.
MISC: Possesses a strange, glowing ragnite-like crystal necklace given to her by her uncle Vinny as a good luck present. What secrets does it hide?

"Let's treat this like a real mission, okay? No reckless actions just because we know its an exercise." You say firmly. "Let's do this the right way."

"I figured you'd say that." Edwin nods. "It's the same general plan we have now. First, we have Falynn jam all radio comms to keep the other teams from being able to coordinate. Then we start luring them in piecemeal into the killzone. Simple as that."

"And what if they another group stumbles in?"

"Let me handle that." Edwin says.

"Okay." You nod and turn to Falynn. "You can jam all the comms in this area, right?"

"Of course I can." Falynn pulls out your squad's radio set. "Problem is that we won't be able to use our radio, either. If you're going to say something to the others, you better say it now."

"Got it, thanks." You activate your radio and link with Lucina and Charlotte. "Lucina, Charlotte, we have reason to believe the other teams are ganging up on us. The plan is to cut off comms to prevent them from coordinating and we take out piece by piece. You two are going to have to coordinate with each other and us through verbal or line of sight means."

"Got it." Lucina responds.

"Roger!" Charlotte affirms.

"What do we do about these two groups, then?" Lucina then asks.

>Let's pull them now.
>Let them wander around a bit. Find another group to ambush.

>>26946218
>Let's pull them now.

Take them out before they join up with any others.

>>26946218
>Other
Have Lucina pull a third group over to the other group. When the groups are just barley in line of sight of one another, have her or someone fire a few shots at both groups. Hopefully they will panic and begin firing on each other, as communications will be down at that point.

>>26946267

>>26946267

It may be tricky, but can we somehow get the enemy groups to fight amongst themselves, to the point of using firearms, via trickery?

"I'll do my best."

"There are five total, not including us. That puts it at about 40 vs 9."

"Not very good odds." You frown.

"Yeah, for them." Edwin has that smug smile again.

"Cutting comms!" Falynn announces.

And now all there is to do is wait.

Seconds later, you hear a flurry of automatic fire in the distance. Presumably, Lucina was off doing her thing. However, more gunfire starts barking from a different direction. Presumably Charlotte found a new group to lead into the trap.

Sure enough, you see Charlotte and Mary-Kate burst out from the brush, sprinting to your position at full speed. Quite a distance behind them is Runaround, who obviously wasn't quite as good a runner as he was a driver.

"Enemies incoming!" Charlotte pants as she slides into cover next to you. Mary-Kate and Runaround likewise take up defensive positions.

"How many?" You ask.

"At least four. Well, four when we spotted them. At least three, now." Charlotte says, reloading her assault rifle.

Sure enough, you can hear shouting and rustling as Charlotte's pursuers begin to approach.

You all hold position, waiting as the enemy approaches, fingers on your triggers.

Unfortunately, nothing happens. You were kind of expecting the other team to charge full speed into the clearing, but then again that was probably wishful thinking. However, there's another rustle, and you see a single figure poking their way through the brush. Not close enough to compromise your position though.

"A scout." Edwin points out. "Should've figured they'd be too smart to run into an ambush blindly."

"So what do we do?"

"Simple." Charlotte butts in. "Take out the scout!"

"Not so simple." Falynn chimes in. "Taking out the scout will pretty much tell them we're here anyways."

"Wait, isn't Morgan here? I thought he had a suppressed rifle?" Mary-Kate points out.

"I think so." You nod.

just spectulation here

Lucas' position as leader will cause strife between him and Edwin.
Edwin, the son of the head of the belkan knights, is subordinate to a lowly darcien half-breed, the offspring of his father's former squire no less.

he may require "friendship" building activities

Is Morgan's rifle bolt-action, or semi-automatic?

>>26947342
>he may require "friendship" building activities
Or we let his mother find out how much of a little shit he's being.

>>26947086
You turn to where you're pretty sure Morgan is hiding out. You don't quite see him, but you just point in the scout's general direction and slice your finger across your throat, the universal sign for "get rid of that guy".

You see a brief flash in one of the trees, no doubt Morgan reflecting some sunlight off his scope. Satisfied, you return to your position manning your .30 cal. Meanwhile, you can dimly hear Mary-Kate pestering Charlotte and Falynn about how pretty they look in combat gear, and whether they could arrange for her to meet their parents. Normally, you'd tell her to quiet down, but even a standup guy like you found some enjoyment in petty revenge.

Meanwhile the enemy scout draws ever closer.

Even suppressed, a rifle still made quite a bit of noise. You can distinctly hear a sharp puff sound as a paint round zips through the forest. However, the shot's way off target. Hopefully it was because Morgan wasn't used to working with paint rounds. You heard that a lot of snipers hated working with nonlethal ammo because they had significantly different flight characteristics from regular rounds.

The rustling in the brush stops for a brief second. You're sure the scout has figured something was up, now.

Morgan fires again. It's a bit closer this time, but still a clear miss. The round ricochets off a tree, and if that scout didn't realize what was going on, he did now. More frantic rustling suggests that he's bolting back to his squad.

"Not good." You grimace.

"Come on! Let's blow em all to hell!" Sparky says, readying her lance.

"Not wise." Edwin shakes his head. "We have no idea where the rest of the enemy team is, and we don't have a scout to find them for us."

You get the odd feeling Edwin is glaring at you, as if it were you fault.

"So what do we do, 'sir'?" He asks.

>>26947693
>Stay put, let them come

The lead scout only confirms one position of base of fire. It's likely the enemy will focus on that and expose themselves to possible enfilading fire from your position.

If we fire now, they'll return fire and go to ground in defilade, drawing out the firefight and opening ourselves up for a wide flank. We best wait until they're exposed. This means Morgan's gonna have to be bait in a quickly untenable position if we don't open fire at the right time to pin the opposing squad down. But I think Morgan can take it.

>>26947782
Well we have to find out more about him to make sure Mary-Kate is the best match.

>>26947782
He's the daughter of Karla Hohenzollern and (probably) Erik Schnee. If we think of the Demons as the crew of the White Base, he's basically the son of Char.

>>26947861
Are we talking about Edwin or Morgan?

>>26947861

Morgan is a 'mystery', but is probably Elsa and Alek's kid. Maybe. Dunno really.

>>26947960

Low tolerance is probably a good thing then, you can get drunk at minimum cost!

Hangover is going to be a bitch though.

>>26947693
Well, this whole plan went bad really really fast. You consider opening fire but decide against it. After all, the only person who exposed their position here was Morgan. As far as that scout knew, there was only a sniper out here somewhere.

"Well, this is partly beneficial to us." Edwin nods. "They'll be out looking for Morgan instead of us."

"So we're just going to leave him out there on his own?" Charlotte scowls.

"Of course not! We'd be wasting perfectly good bait."

Charlotte's eye twitches, as if she's about to deck Edwin in the fact. You swiftly get between them to prevent that from happening.

"That's a pretty callous thing to say, Edwin." You frown.

"Why not? Morgan's not pulling his weight and is dragging this squad down. Dead weight either needs to prove itself useful it needs to be cut loose."

You really, really dislike how Edwin can be so condescending, yet have a perfectly good point at the same time. You're almost willing to let Charlotte deck him. Heck, YOU might do it yourself!

"Guuuuuys." Mary-Kate whispers. "I think there's movement!"

Sure enough, you see the brush and tree rustling as a LOT of people start filing through the forest. In fact, they're passing by your position and heading straight for Morgan's. You see the sniper's scope flashing in the trees again, a bit frantically.

Thirded. One shot then immediately fall back. That'll immediately cause the opposition to seek cover relative to where the shot rang out, and they will almost likely be exposed relative to our current position.

>>26948285
Well I guess this was a hastefully made shot.

>>26948254
You hear the puff of the silenced shot, and then there's a flurry of shouting and return fire as the enemy squad tries to pinpoint Morgan's position. You're not sure whether Morgan managed to get away successfully, but it's clear he didn't actually manage to neutralize any of the enemies.

"It's time to move in." Edwin says. "We either go in now or not at all."

You nod. The tension was getting to the point where it was gnawing at everybody's nerves. If you kept holding them back something bad was bound to happen.

Sparky is going to get frustrated at the lack of explosions at this rate.

I really doubt we want that.

>Pick up your gun and lead the charge.

So after this exercise, who are we going to have a word with besides Edwin?

>>26948525
Morgan of course. He needs to get his head in the game.

>>26948352
>Stay back and provide suppressing fire.

We're a gunner with an MMG right? Our job is to put a shitload of lead downrange to make them reconsider sticking out so much as a finger out of cover.

>>26948352
Deciding that any good leader should lead from the front, you pick up your .30 cal, ready to fire it on the move.

"Edwin, Sparky you're going to start things off. Start dumping frag lances into the forest until me and the others reach the treeline. Then watch our backs and make sure nobody tries to flank us."

"Affirmative." Edwin nods. Probably happy he gets to sit back in relative safety.

"Roger roger!" Sparky grins, pulling the safety pin out of her loaded lance tip.

"All right, Alpha Team, move out!" You yell.

Edwin and Sparky start off with their opening salvo.

Too bad we're not old enough to roll the patented "Jager Sturmfurhere DRINK WITH EVERYONE" tactic

Oh, and it also provides some degree of personality for our characters for development.

>>26948796
13 and 14 are pretty good

>>26948799
If we're in Not!Europe, oh yes we are.

>>26948588
The opening salvo is successful enough. Edwin's frag lance plunges right into the middle of the enemy formation, while Marisa's lance veers off target midair and slams into a tree before it can do much. Edwin's lance tip then explodes, showering the forest and people around it with brightly colored paint.

It's then that you walk forward with your MG and let loose. At your flanks, your squadmates start unloading with their assault rifles as well.

Your .30 cal THUNDERS as it belches paint rounds into the forest. You're not even sure if you're hitting anything, but you keep the trigger pressed down anyways, the gun bucking in your grip from the recoil.

Meanwhile, the the rest of your squad is calmly moving forward, keeping pace with you and being more selective their their fire, but shooting rapidly nonetheless.

So far, there doesn't seem to be any return fire, meaning you've either got them perfectly suppressed or you've pretty much "slaughtered" the whole team.

Well it's at least a TEAMBUILDING exercise where we fail in an area, then have a training montage.

>>26949040
"Cease fire, cease fire!" You yell, easing off on the trigger. Looking around, you can see the surrounding trees and brush absolutely covered in paint from your massive fusillade of fire. You can see your rival classmates sprawled on the ground, covered with enough paint to make them more akin to piles of gibbed flesh than bodies if you were firing real bullets.

"Falynn, grab their tags. Everybody else, keep an eye out." You say.

"Um, Luke, I think I hear something that way." Charlotte points to a nearby hill.

At that point you can see multiple silhouettes cresting the hill, obviously attracted by the gunfire.

"It's a whole new squad!" Runaround yells.

>>26949254

Cresting a hill? That just makes them easy targets to distinguish from the background as they crest the rise!

That horrible feeling when I am far too drunk to reasonably participate in the thread and give Merc my attention. I am sorry, buddy, but I have had far too much to drink (I have edited this 5 times now.) and I will be useless.

"Fall back! Fall back!" You yell to your squad. You back away and start firing your MG in an effort to check the enemy advance. From the numbers you're seeing on the hill, there's definitely one, possibly even two teams bearing down on you.

Unfortunately, you can only confirm one solid hit, as one of the advancing students take a round to the chest and tumbles down the hill in surprise. However, your suppressing fire achieves its objective and the rest of the students, suddenly confronted with a heavy MG, dive for cover or retreat back over the hill. You back away and try to make your escape back to the ruins.

"We got lots of bad guys incoming!" You yell as you exit the trees and through the clearing, making sure to hope over the hidden mines and tripwires Falynn had planted.

You roll into your previous position and start to reload your gun, ejecting the current belt and loading in a fresh one. You've only got one more box of ammo so you've got to make this count.

In the distance, you can heart shouting as the the incoming squads attempt to regroup in the wake of your rearguard action.

>Counter attack before they can regroup!

>Abandon this position and find a new one.

>>26949830

Then out spake brave Horatius,
The Captain of the Gate:
"To every man upon this earth
Death cometh soon or late.
And how can man die better
Than facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers,
And the temples of his Gods."

I've been waiting for an excuse to use this quote

>>26949966
"Challenge accepted."

>>26949931
You say that like Lucina won't come out of nowhere and save our asses.

"Okay everyone, we're bunkering down and we're going to meet these guys head on." You say. "Keep an eye out. They outnumber us at least 2 to 1, so be on the look out for any attempts to flank us."

"Roger!" Everybody nods.

Suddenly, your position is hammered by gunfire as the other teams begin their assault.

>Open fire!
>Hold fire and wait for them to advance into the booby traps.

>>26950075
>Open fire!
Waiting seems to keep biting us in the ass. I say shoot.

Sticking our heads out now will result in bad things.

>>26950075
>Open fire!

>Hold fire and wait for them to advance into the booby traps.
Consider giving a speech or something...or just giving everyone a confidence nod

>>26950075
>Hold fire and wait for them to advance into the booby traps.
We want to cause maximum confusion.

>>26950075
>Hold fire and wait for them to advance into the booby traps.
I'm all for greatly increasing the local lead/oxygen ratio but we're kinda strapped here.

>>26950075
"Hold fire, and let them come closer." You say, trying to sound reassuring. "Let them walk right in to the traps!"

Sure enough, the fire begins to lighten up as the lead elements begin to press in. You see a trio of scouts move in, their battle rifles barking as they pick out your positions among the ruins. However, the run right into Falynn's mines, causing a huge explosion of paint in their faces. You also hear several explosions at your rear, too. Apparently they were trying to sneak a force behind you as well.

"Falynn, Sparky, Mary-Kate, Runaround, you go and cover the back. Me, Charlotte and Edwin to handle things here!"

The four squadmates node and move to the other side of the ruins.

Suddenly, you hear two loud WHUMPS, and you see a pair of lance tips arcing in the air, and you realize they're frag lances.
