With our retreat from Crow's Bridge, we joined a struggling of walking wounded that slithers across the landscape with dragging feet.

At least those solders who can still hold a sword can teach a thing or two.

Captain Albretch died in Crow's Bridge. Overall command now rests with me, but these days I'm too busy organizing the baggage train and overseeing scared civilians.

Our field officers will have to decide on the best way to direct the ressources we have.

--

The Pytherian Legion forces march on Howarth's Crossing, an we must pray that our preperations are enough to blunt their first attack.

If we fall here, the way to Isfelt is open and the refuges strung out behind us like the segmentations of a snake are prey to the Theurgs of Pytheria, the Legionaires and the Velites, and their lives forfiet and their souls bonded to servitude.

So we stand here.

And we hold them.

For as long as we can.

Their first wave are Weidergangers, and some seem familiar - likely those we slew in the village pressed back into service. The Pytherians have learned a valuable lesson in three months of warfare. March the expendable ones first, because we sell each inch of soil dearly.

A small splinter group is going to secure the southern crossing, lead by a Scholae Legionis.

An Archtheurge - one of the two we saw wait on the Palatine in Crow's Bridge - has arrived as well, but her unit looks like they're simply waiting for something. We can't tell what at present.

Remember that the Weidergangers cannot cross into the stream without great encouragement, and if the're in it without the constant support of their thaumathurges, their bonding spells will soon ablate and break in the cleansing flow of the river. The human legionares have no such easy answer. So for those we should employ hard iron.

Company! To Arms!

Some questions
>Is crossing the river(through the ford) a normal move or more expensive/needs a roll?
>are the circleheads Velites? what is their range?
>how high are the cliffs NW of my position, can they be climbed?
>How do terror work do I need to roll it?

>>1043685
It would be so fun to snipe the archteurge from that brush at the riverbend.

>>1043696
You can do that if you topple the trees right as he's passing.

>>1043698
That's if she will pass there, which I doubt.

>>1043696
Tzigana could snipe the thaumathurge controlling those Weidergangers

>>1043699
You never know.
Plus, i think killing the Archtheurge would give us some more XP, cause chaos within the enemy lines and make it so that we don't have to deal with strong magic. Killing her should be between our priorities.
>>1043701
This is also a good idea. Or, again, they could use the trees.

Here's what the scouts can tell you, sergeant.

The broad marked cliffs cannot easily be climbed, but as a FULL TURN [Consumes all prof + ½ alac], it is possible for the dedicated.

The River itself can be crossed in other directions than the ford, but doing so is DIFFICULT
Difficult terrain needs to be moved through using PROF, and makes your VULNERABLE which negates SHIELDS and DODGE. Cross the river at your own peril, it is possible but we cannot protect ourselves while doing so.

>>1043696
A fine idea. That line of Legionaires serving a Bodyguard might need distracting first, or one of their Creeds of Service will allow them to valiantly take the arrow, the selfless bastards.

>>1043703
It usually does. Theurges are needed to corral the MINDLESS, such as golems, sprites or weidergangers. Theurgs are also the Pytherian religious authority, and are usually the ones who light the banefire braziers to celebrate victory or mark events. Without their local authority, in this foreign land, many of the legionaires would no doubt STUMBLE or suffer MORALE SHOCK.

For those of you wondering how to place shots across the river or at far targets, perhaps Albretch shoud have mentioned this before he died.

Naturally, Javelins are thrown projectiles and so cannot increase beyond their max range without special skills ["Go Long!"].

Rifles, bows, crossbows and other projectile shooters have a listed maximum range before penalties accrue. If you wish to make long shots, it's -10 to your skill per hex beyond your range.

A proper Republic Volunteer Archer is supposed to have even odds of hitting at rng 6, and squeeze in the occassional hail magdelena at 9.

Keep in mind that COVER, like trees or other targets usually interfere with your shot also.

>>1043710
>>1043703
>>1043701
This will have to be a multi-stage plan then. First, we need to take out some of the wiedergangers using traps to open the way to the thaumaturge controlling them, then kill the thaumaturge. This will create a threat to the archteurge's unit from the east, which might draw away their bodyguard and open the archteurge to sniper fire.

Even if the bodyguard won't move, killing the wiederganger controller is beneficial in itself, so this plan won't go to waste.

are you sure about that? [Threatening] pretty much means that the QM will do anything in his hand to kill you, including but not limited to: having a caster summon a swarm of zombies around you, making all the archers focus fire on you, getting the legionaries to rush and surround you alone.
If you still want it get the other 2 bonuses

>>1048238
oh I thought it's choose one of each. You get all boni for one malus? But it says 'the following OPTIONS are available'. I know I probably am getting annoying, but I really suggest a bit clearer formatting.

Anyways, that makes me want to get Threatening even more.

So here'd be the updated sheet:

>>1048244
I get that a lot. Apologies on the formating, I try to make it clear but fitting it all into the same image is hard,..

>>1048245
it probably would already be a big improvement to put a "pick one" over the section with the knight, the squad and the praticioner, and then again over the options of each one respectively, and to just have the different moves in a box instead of kinda just shoved in there.
That and nice and clear language, like with the 'options' example above.

>>1048244
I know it looks like that and if you want any resemblance of balance in your game you'd make it so you only get 1 bonus per drawback, like in all the other games, but vladimir took 3 bonuses and command decided to roll with it which is super silly

>>1048250
I'd be up for only taking one bonus to set a new presidence.

>>1048250
>>1048251
>>1048248
+10 [skill], 1 out of possibble doctrines and [dodge]-20 is functionally the equivalent of a single squad level up - +10 skill xp, +1 doctrine + battleloot + battle XP.

It jump-starts you to "I approximate someone who survived one battle" which is the actual intention.

Anyone who has participated in my games before know I occassionally do this - and I'm genuinely sorry for going incommunicado for bits of time.

I work a job that intermixes long periods of nothing at all with sudden "OH HEY, HOW ABOUT A 57 HOUR SHIFT!".

So sometimes my schedule goes [Boom].

Command - as always - appreciates your patience.

And at least here on /qst I need not worry about the thread dying!

>>1057942
May I suggest you make a discord channel so communications between players and you the QM would be simplified? This way we could at least know if something pops up in your schedule and players can talk with one another easily.

It's okay, Command. While we'd all like an update because you've made a genuinely enjoyable experience, you can't exactly get paid for running a skirmish on /qst/.

goshdarnit though

>>1068086
A note on relics, artefacts, acroutements and such sundry

a [SPECIFIC] effect only applies to a specific unit, and may represent a special item that squad has.

A [General] effect applies to the entire unit.

A sword would only be used by one unit, and thus only resolves its functionality when used by a 1 single soldier. Any bonus and malus applies to that soldier only.

An inspiring battle standard would grant its bonus to the entire unit.

The sword [Twist] is specific, and represents a single soldier wielding a specific kind of sword. if utilized, it is assumed any effects apply to the MAIN UNIT / Soldier - in this case granting a
+5 crit chance
a +5 crit fail chance
a match bonus (11, 22, 33 . . .)
and Duelist's Luck
but also a -20 effective skill and a 4 base damage.

For attacks that have a specific item associated with it, it's a tremendous help if you >-indicate the use of it

>Attack enemies 5
>--[Twist]

this is only really neccesary if your unit is decked out with multiples, or have abilities that would vary or you're trying something specific. in all other cases it's assume you use all the stuff you got.

Command, there appears to be a mistake. I requested to move 2,2,1, not 5,6. If the Skulkers have some sort of grapple/pull, then I suppose this makes sense, but I would like clarification if that is the case. Pic related is my intended move.

As for orders; engage the skulker with the first four dice, fire at the Legionnaires crossing the river with the next two. I suppose.

Command, you made a mistake. I would've hit those knights, since my weapon is Range 2, hence me fluffing it up as a Halberd. Anyway, onto my turn.

Command went back and forth on that one. You specifically assigned striking the enemies to your 5 - and the enemy formation is to the 5, 5.

It's not that Smart Processing is particularly onerous in isolated cases, but with >12 players adjusting ad-hoc to what they might have wanted to do becomes a problematic stack-on of constant adjustments.

What Command will do in this instance is assign the damage you would have delivered - 7 - to a Legionaire at the end of your turn, which will cripple that unit.

It did feel exeptionally unfair to mark down a miss only for an entire cohort to pile on to you

>>1072236
This, however, is a processing issue. The Arcani do in fact have Grappling Hooks with Pull, but they didn't use them in this instance. Your position will be adjusted at turn end - then Command will re-simulate the arcani + archer firing.

Thanks, Command.
"Roight then you lot- where's tha medic?"

Ah, it was my mistake. i'll try to make my moves more clear from now.

”You should come back to the barricade with me if you want to stay alive, then!”

"Haha, where do you think I'm moving towards? A wasteful death that would dishonor the rose? Who are you ordering around anyways? I hope not me!"

I'm running, don't worry about me
