We're bringing some additional CAP units online. Saving the INC centre was a good move. Technician Willersby tells me tell you - with exaggearted arm movements imagined here, Troopers - that he doesnt know how effective the wireless control scheme will be if the "animants" are somehow able to directly eat the control signals.

Hope for the best. If the units get isolated they'll automatically enter sleep mode. Get near them and reboot them by waving your personal ID in front of them a few times. The chipbrains does the rest.

Haven't heard anything from the building for a while, but the lights out here getting somewhat peculiar. IF you happen to take a step into some sort of alternate reality, make sure you don't cause any annoying localized timespace paradoxes or some-such. We don't have the ressources to shift though fractically cascading alternate timelines right now.

And yes, I realize telling you this borders on maddening but I don't know what these things can do, last time they almost ate the BT and Gerean isn't here to shout proper orders.

Get in there, shoot anything that looks even vaguely suspecious or just twitches too much and then report back. Shut down the primary reactor outflows too if you can. My hunch and Willersby dramatic graphs make it obvious our recent spate of murderous arachnid/bug problems correlates to the oscillating power output.

And dammit, I told you last time - someone find my damn coffee! It has to be in this base somewhere and I certainly can't get any in the officers mess AFTER YOU BLEW IT UP.

Eventually, we must bring down the armor doors and bring a stop to this slow cancer festering in our powerlines.

Burn it all, root and branch, and then wait for the rapid reaction force to arrive. Good news is they'll be on edge after losing contact with this installation.

Bad news is it the fastest anyone not a lost patrol wandering home to find no R&R is 12 hours. Hopefully, the deadzone surrounding us piqued the curiousity of High Command's enshrined talking heads. Might be we get a fast-tracked team deployment. Don't blue on blue anyone, troopers. Watch your corners. Most of the base is still unaccounted for too and could be anywhere.

So, what's our play?

It's a multiplayer turn-based strategy game. Third post is a quick-loadout that will give you an idea of what a player character looks like. Second post is rules, if you want to figure out how this stuff actually works in preparation. Plus, it actually details the character creation process quite well. Here's my sheet:

If you're just starting, you'll only be one type of trooper. Having lost two characters in previous sessions, I've had the option of taking on additional trooper types at the cost of Focus, which is kind of this game's equivalent of MP in most RPGs.

>>1748199
Usually with dying.

But the concept isn't all that, Trooper. You just pick up a rifle, put on your uniform and get ready to step into the fray. You submit orders for your unit - your trooper - and try to prevent terrible calamities from happening.

Occassionally, you cause them.

Think of it like chess, but with grenades.

I'll just watch for now.

>>1748330
Yes, the feeds are quite endearing aren't they? Usually we take bets on who makes it back alive, but, well

Don't tell the troopers.

Everyone plays that game, command. Sometimes we take video of our buddies panicking at swarms of acid-spitting bionanite(?) roaches so we have good material if we ever have to make a speech at their wedding or something.

Reloaded, rearmed, reset and ready. Let's all pretend we now what's going to happen in the next thirty seconds of this firefight.

The primary animants have retreated for now, but the interference is fluctuating still. Can't get a read on their movements.

Some will be in the OFFICE, which Influence is getting ready to sweep. Most will be in the reactor control.

Your job is to root them out of there and retake our base. Let's not pretend this will be easy, but we're counting on you. Private Martina and Technicials Willersby and Rhodemeyer is riding in the BT, but it's not gone through service for a bit and there's some erratic pings on the main sensor swings. At your order, Willersby and Rhodemeyer will attempt to ISOLATE and SCAN the anomaly but that /will/ lock down the power system of the entire BT until they're done. If you need heavy support, don't ask them to scan.

C'mon Troopers. One time is a surprise, two times is a murder in the night but the third time is going to be ours.

Oh - Didn't see the last submission there.

Focus is gone once its gone, and does not restore unless there is a PAUSE and so time to CATCH YOUR BREATH. In this way, you may wish to pick your engagements and munitions. Attracting more attention if not neccessary means no breaks.

Sometimes, Focus is restored when events happen. You will know when.

Your FIELD KIT has 2 uses, and can heal 1d6+margin Fieldcraft Roll HP or Focus. Rations, if any are available, can also restore focus.

Friendly Support from commanders, others, medics and personnel can also help you focus. These are not currently available to players, because the misson commander of Echo 11 who had the ability to declare FOCUSED FIRE and restore +2d6 Focus to all troopers is currently 6 feet in the ground, having died in a calamitous explosion last map.

You focus is very precious. You may wish to hoard it. It is not so precious it should not be used, but it is important.

>>1750838
[Requesting guide on determining Area of Effect of explosive munitions]

>>1751020
Providing...

All EX damage spreads out from the point of impact in circle. Any COVER or BLOCKS in the way absorb the damage first. People behind cover are thus protected.

The damaged is ROLLED initially. In every hex away from the point of impact, this damage is divided by increments of 3, rounding up.

Roll 4d6*2 - get 30

Dead centre - 30
1 Aoe = 10
2 aoe = 5
3 aoe = 4

More dangerous explosive payloads exist where the spread divisor is lower.

For shorthand purposes, assume that explosions usually hit 3 AOE where they are DANGEROUS, and any amount of protection will reduce their kill-probability after that.

You are currently inhabiting the central control node of a BT-Mark 6 Heavy Recon Support Walker. Your standard complement of arms is as listed. The Base Security BT is the unfortunate sister-wreck you may be able to spot/scan/echo the wreckage of near the office.

If you cycle the power to subslot 73 and check the contents of the firing solution subroutines, you will notice the compressed and stored data solution for firing and handling a foam device, if one is mounted on your chassis.

wait, nevermind, how is it even getting them back to power our base lights?

Animants! Aggressive ones! Hey, segfault! Beffore you go too big for your computaitonal breeches, those green ones with the bulbs release a chemical compound upon death or when they initiate an immunological trigger! It's the only thing that can actually scratch the armor you're even in.

Trooper Hardt!

Mobility being 2 points to raise, you would have had only 2 points left to use on FIREARMS and FIELDCRAFT combined; not 6 points as you have spent in total.

+1 Mobilty (= 2 points)
+3 Firearms (= 3 points)
+1 Fieldcraft (= 1 point)
= 6

This is not a problem and no issue, but merely note that 4 points would translate to +1 Mobility, +2 Firearms. Running in all this gear is hard, and learning to do it well takes effort and focus.

Simply change your Fieldcraft to its proper rating (10) and your firearms to its proper rating (12) and you are good to go. We all start somewhere!

This still enables you to sprint half-way across the world, dodge incoming fire with Focus, overwatch a counter-attack that lands more often than not and climb obstacles.

And the smg, have a quote :

Chirni-77 Assault Hybrid
The Chirni-77 features an integrated smartlink system to allow rapid acquisition of potential hostiles. Unfortunately, to comply with initial production mandate and because it is technically available on the civilian market, the calibre is reduced. The expanded magazine and smooth handling makes up for the lack of firepower.

Specialist Darius, that unfortunate person is PFC Kronkite. And it appears he's been cross-vectored with an animant sample, almost as if they're submusing him. Interesting medical study, but there's nothing we can do for him now. Unless you can cleanly seperate his resonance traces, he's done for. Must have tried escaping from the foldspace intereference while a bug was chasing him, and they got cross-contaminated. And the bug is winning.

They're going to burst out of his skin fully grown and fangs ready unless you DO something.

Woah hey can I even draw line of sight in that direction. If I'm reading the tactical display correctly, you're asking me to fire into a wall.

Is it possible to fire through friendlies without hurting them? If so:

>Setup facing 3.
>2 AP shooting action at the giant bug 332 away. 6 shot burst?

How do multiple shots with this weapon work? It doesn't have a fraction like the other guns yet I'm assuming it's a machine gun and not a single shot weapon.

Looks like I'm in the wrong time zone and playing at 1 turn every 24 hours. Please continue to bot me when necessary... even if your bot moves are wrong.

>>1753967
You simply benefit more from doing it. Rather than neccessitating spending multiple ammo to achieve a +1 benefit, you get +1 for 1 ammo.

This is because the MG is technically firing 2200 rounds a minute if you go full auto. There's no need for us to track that, and so instead, the autofire feature assumes that the ammo count is mildly abstract.

A 6 shot burst for you gives a +6, consumes 6 ammo. For effeciencies and utilities sake, you may wish to designate that some of this ammo be spent on widening the cone of your shot. 1 ammo to generate a cone, 2 amo to make it a 2 hex, 3 ammo for a 3hex (some 60 degrees firing arc).

As for timezones, they happen. You're welcome anyway, Trooper. Coordinators exist for a reason, and your company is always a joy. The nature of these games do mean that there isn't a very high pressure on participation on a minute by minute basis.

For precisely rolling you roll 3d6 per attack. Bursts are added to your base skill - so you don't roll per shot, you roll a total. The general effeciacy of your roll generates damage, extra hits and so on. 3d6 per action.

>>1753562
Not a tap, consumes an Ap. Once SETUP properly, a suppressor may further spend 1 AP to get effectively infinite overwatches against anyone moving into their firing arc. You don't need to setup simply to fire the weapon.

Those bugs don't have LoS and won't enter smoke, while I rolled a Fieldcraft check to hopefully negate any LoS penalties for you.

You're free to override as you did just now, of course. Since I didn't roll for your botted action, nothing's finalized. You do have to roll 3d6, though.

Rolled 1, 4, 6 = 11 (3d6)

>>1754034
Thanks Command, that clears up alot giving you a proper roll.

>>1753967
>>1754049
Alright you have a point. I'll go with Providence's bot command for this turn.

Sorry for being wishywashy with my actions Command.

DARIUS, YOU DICK

You don't cross vector another man while he's about to die! This close to the pearly FUCKING gates and you rip me from my free cloud snorting retirement! Where the eff am I?

Hey, the base! Fuck yeah, Kronkite, you're *still* the best.

Listen up losers, DIVULGENCE geared up and smashed through the roachies here at the reactor but the inside is all SCREWY like my old geometrics class. Going up gets you sideways, it's a trip. The rest of them got lost in there trying to find a way to close the gap - those bug things keep pouring out and my sweet ass there's a whole horde of the skittering things on the horizon. I came back here to find enough explosives to to turn the place into my old elementary school

You know.

A crater.

So what's up losers? You got a bug problem too? Fuck me these things are persistent.

ALL RIGHT.

INCLINATION.

I'm detecting some odd fluctuations in the short-wave motion scanner. Like some of the vibrational waves are rebounded off of more more objects than actually there.

Conjecture:

At the intersectional joint of our twin worlds, the skein is thin and mallable. I think we should exert caution in this area or we may find that the ground beneath our feet trinkle away to nothing.

>>1766256
To fully and honestly answer this query - Death is part of the Experience.

Without the prospect of potentially dying, you lose a lot investment. You are meant to consider the actions you take in light of the fact that consequences do happen.

Did I fully expect someone to flash vaporize the command HQ and cause the mission CO to die? No. I did not. But I also trust you all enough to honestly accept that the freedom of action in these games are yours to wield as you would like.

There are, however, some subtle anti-frustration features.

If you do DIE, you can reroll and keep your total achieved Talents and Perks, at -1 Focus per extra Talent past the first. This reduces your FOCUS, but it does allow you to keep something you thought was Cool.

Characters advance on a point based scaling, and once you die an lose everything you do lose everything. But I subtly tinker with the baseline stats of NEW UNITS every new map, so as to keep them at least within the median of ability. This means that you might die a Firearms 12 trooper and respawn a Firearms 13, simply because RESEARCH & ADVANCEMENT have gotten ahead.

You ar also working togther as an organization and the UNCC is not untrained rabble. Group wide improvements are possible once this current crisis blows over, which again takes the sting out of the death.

Dying should be seen as the end of one story, and the beginning of another one.

In a twin spray of gunfire, the hunter bug finally goes down - an deserving end for a beast that killed so many. The final bullets ping of a carapace already chemically hardened by the thrill of murder and the sympathetic feedback of its victims. One shudders to think what it migh have become had it scythed down more troopers.

Vexatious. This material carapace is unsuited for its purpose. Your killing intent constrained by base molecular interaction, your will smothered by the constraints of mere physicality.

Cease.

Sorry for the delay gentlemen it couldn't be helped. Turns out eating 3 days worth of ratpacks during an op was a bad idea, those things don't exactly go down very well.

You two should probably duck right about now.

Lot of corpses left behind. We need to complete a sweep of the facility before they're converted into a lot of problems. Once cleanup's done, we can see what Kromia and the BT have gotten into.
