I wish I could tell you some good news.
I wish I could say they won't know we'll be coming, or that they'll be under supplied, or tired, or worried.

Trenchers, I can't lie.

Our enemy knows we'll be coming, will be holed up in a heavily defensible position, they'll be highly motivated, well equipped and prepared to die for the cause because they know that even in death they might still serve and should they die preventing us from getting to Voltera, we won't ever learn enough about their Unity project to find out how to stop it. So, Trenchers.
It appears I am once again asking the impossible.

But.

Gerean pauses a moment with a brief, wry smile

Since it also appears that you have a continual habit of modifying or disregarding orders, then I am sure that merely because I tell you the task will be impossible you fully intend to go ahead and do it.

Now snap to.

I want a requisition form of necessities and a plan of attack on my desk soonest.

To make up for the collosal intelligence failure in Ravenpoint, IntSec has pulled out all the stops for this one.

We've done one initial sweep of their position.

The opposition we should expect this time is a a platoon of Pathfinders with limited heavy backup, but "limited" is not "no". They have AT guns and two Light Walkers guarding the position.

The Walkers may have taken damage from participating in the latest push.

We cannot look inside the buildings.

We know, however, that the compound will also hold

THREE Theurges and FOUR Arcani Agents. The Theurges should each have a bodyguard of 2 Legionnaires, for SIX Legionnaires.

Other questions?

>Now, I am telling you all this so you understand, Trenchers. IntSec estimates that there's a a non-zero chance they threw everything into the fight because they know we captured the Operator Soul of Ravenpoint - and this is also why the Arcani asked their agents to blow their own cover and attempt an extraction. It reeks of desperation. They absolutely do not want us to interogate Voltera. He's holed up in an old estate. The Pytherian main thrust is inching forward and if they manage to gain enough ground that they can safey extract Voltera, we will not have another chance.

Similar acronym soup, different political affiliations. We haven't encountered the Rebus Agents - but they couldn't have both kidnapped you, then returned to us to steal away Voltera.

Withdraw and Redeploy at the same functions.

We can still improve armor, but it will start to slow us down.

>>2738066
Flip the switch near the handle and you change from a long range kinetic accelerator with penetration capabilities to a short range rapid fire weapon.

At Stable firing mode, the Driver fires one shot. You can fire multiples, but charge build-up prevents anything but the most well placed shot from striking home as recoil gets unmanagable.

in rapid fire mode the Raildriver fires smaller metal shavings.

>1, 4 --> 1 ammo spent is +1 to hit and every 4 margins scores another hit.

>4, 1 --> 1 ammo spent is +4 to hit and every margin scores another hit.

Use the more stable mode of fire to perform long range operations, and switch to rapidfire mode when closer to your targets. Best of both worlds. Until the the weapon catches fire and overheats.

>Something cut out though - that's meant to say 8x range penalty and half damage.

>>2738071
Not quite, ResOp. We can jigger it so any ResOp can use the kinetic manipulator. It's not much good for precise work, hence the "Kinetic" in the name. R&D has a strange sense of humour.

>>2738087
Whats the range on a gun anyway???

>>2738094
Depends on the conditions of the environment and is always listed on the map near the compass.

For this venture, it should solidly be -1 per 3 hexes.

So you got the memo.

>>2738094
It's Weather. It's shown in a corner.as 3/-1 or 4/-1. Malus is per multiple of tile, not per tile after the limit
>>2732343
Here it’s in the top-left corner as 3/-1. At 3- hexes it’s 0 malus. At 4-6 hexes it’s -1 to hit. 7-9 would be -2 to hit and so on.

>>2738103
Not quite.

The Vindicator rolls it damage, then multiplies that total.

the Raildriver fires 3d6 versus half target DR - that is (2).

The standard bttank Cannon deals 3d6(4) - that is, 3d6 versus 1/4th rated armor.

3d6 x2 --> 6-36 damage
3d6 (4) - 3-18 damage, but versus 1/4th DR.

Assuming you standard sigilcraft armor plating works approaching the way ours do, a Cannonshot that rolls 9 damage will penetrate 5.

A grenade will land, deal 9 damage, actually hit for 18 because 2x and /actually/ bounce clean off the armor plating.

A well aimed cannon might head for 15 damage, penetrating.

A very lucky grenade might hit for 17.

The cannon, however, will do so at a much more reliable rate.

(14 rolled cannon damage translates to 10 damage, but 14 rolled vindicator damage translates to 9)

Does this mean the Raildriver is approaching the power of a cannon?

Sort of. It also has a horrible, horrible tendency to explode into flame. Especially in rapid fire mode.

So we can deploy right in the southern courtyard, bypassing all defences? Seems too convenient.

So, planning.

Things to note:
>MOST IMPORTANTLY: we have a ton of supplies, and this is a critically important mission. Spend supplies like the world dies tomorrow, because it just might.

>There's no safe place for a BT do deploy, except right in the courtyard from the south (if we can deploy there)

>We need to think not only about the assault, but also the extraction. There's every possibility that the extraction will meet complications.

>The hill to NW is a great position, but a BT deployed there will be shot to pieces in a turn. An infantry sniper, on the other hand, will be safer.

>Whenever you have extra Ap, don't forget to dump them into the teamwork pool


Considering this, I propose the following plan:

>If we can deploy in the courtyard, plant a flag and fortify right there
>If we only can deploy in the SW corner, breach the wall of the building, clear it and plant a flag inside
>In both cases, spam troopers and veterands from the flag.
>Leave someone outside to command the troopers and call artillery strikes
>The rest storms the main SE building
>The best way to storm it is to climb onto the roof and breach from above, bypassing possible defensive positions and traps.

>>There's no safe place for a BT do deploy, except right in the courtyard from the south (if we can deploy there)
"Problem is, as this Trencher has stated, is that there are limited areas where deploying in won't get us immediately spotted and spawn camped. We can't act on the same turn we're deployed. I think it's reduced to the same phase if we know the coordinates of the deployment area in advance."
>>2738813
"indeed. I wonder if we can call in an initial barrage or support before we deploy to cover our deployment."

>>2738816
If we can deploy separately, I propose a main assault from the south with a support/diversion group deployed on the NW hill.

>>2738820
Sounds good. NW hill is the only spot B-Tanks can deploy from without being spotted.
I'll try drawing a map depicting the vision cones of enemy units to give us deployment zones.

>>2738816
A little incorrect, but only on the edges.

If the deployment zone is clear, you can act the same turn you deploy.

Eg: If deploying from a friendly BT you know which hex where and when, and you can simply act from it as you deploy.

If deploying in a more general since, then Command has to put you somewhere on the map that oesn't result in an immediate death (We do try to deploy you with some respect for your lives). That makes acting immediately harder.

If you mark a flag ("A1") or a Bt "("Pilot 2") you can act as you deploy.

>>2738811
If you want to try a multi-pronged assault, we can accomodate. South and North simultaneously also cuts off any escape.

>Still drawing that map. Getting used to GIMP.
Drew the map. I wasn't certain how vision worked outside of it being a cone in front of (center of faced hexed and adjacent) the person.
Vision cone is assuming 4/-1 x2 range for vision.
Red cone is assuming it ends as soon as it reaches foliage, orange at the start of the 2nd foliage hex, yellow at the start of the 3rd. Green is if they can see through foliage normally.

Colored dots are deployment spots, as they have to come from an edge not blocked by obstacles.
>>2706678
Light blue is spots where B-Tanks can fit and deploy, as they are slightly larger than 1 hex. Light blue question marks is uncertain with large obstacles or walls in the path.
Dark blue is spots where footmen can deploy.

>>2738966
A BT deployed on the NW hill can't do anything without entering the sight of three AT weapons.

>>2738969
This is from how the units are originally stationed. If positions change then it's an entirely different story.
>>2738966
I forgot to draw question marks over buildings as we don't know what's in them.

>>2738966
>Vision cone is assuming 4/-1 x2 range for vision.
>>2738969
They aren't. 4/-1 is the furthest Weather condition possible. x2 Weather is vision. Assuming vehicles aren't easier to spot beyond vision, then they won't be spotted as soon as they're deployed.

>>2738969
>>2738973
In an attempt to model the importance of sight lines, spotting usually takes place at 2x Weather. About 6 for this map.

Keep in mind that talking is considered a free action however, and just like you, the Pytherians can share vision. So if they have a displaced unit away from a group and that unit spot you, they can, on their turn, usually warn their comrades.

This how you get shots beyond the 2x Weather vision range - someone else is doing the spotting.

There are also tools that allow marking and binoculars and so forth.

But to be specific, a BT posted on that hill NW would gain an elavation bonus on shots and not be immediately targetted, since it would be "unseen". Once firing commences however, expect (inaccurate?) counter-artillery.

You lose your HT stat.
You have 35 Focus. Focus doubles as your HT stat.

You were made a beacon to be the Other. It bleeds through you.
Gain a [Threshold] stat of 3.
You can innately:
Choose to passively add Threshold to anything you do
Take 3x AP cost to multiply effect by Threshold.
Spend 10 AP to increase your Threshold. 5 AP to lower. (It does not go below 3)

You may, in direct LoS:
Mark a source of light, heat or flame for +1 Empyreal Boon
Mark a source of Life for +1 Animus Boon
Reap a corpse or life for +1 Vitae Boon.
Mark ... to learn?
All Boons convert to HT for anyone in direct LoS at 1:3, or Focus for you at 2:1

>You were made a beacon to be the Other. It bleeds through you.
You probably draw aggro from enemies.

>>2739142
The Other has corrosive effects on mundane reality. Pushing past the safe threshold is unsafe.

Also a typo:
Choose to passively add Threshold to anything you do (Costing 2 AP extra)

>>2739106
the ability to use sheer will and focus to power through obstacles is a little understood science.

Should someone try to force someone with sufficient focus to do something they do not want to do, they usually roll to Disagree.

You have experienced this.

Spending Focus to push past the constraints of normality is a side-effect of the Trencher Project, and as far as we know, only those with a slight spark of the other can sufficiently leverage this capacity.

Theurges deal with this on a daily basis as part of their training, and are one good example. But as we can't directly measure their resilience by reading reports, we cannot tell you what it might be.

>>2739161

How do the odds work for this? Higher odds with more focus?
>Theurges deal with this on a daily basis as part of their training, and are one good example. But as we can't directly measure their resilience by reading reports, we cannot tell you what it might be.
So we gotta probe or capture them, got it.

frag grenades*.

>>2739340
>>2739344
Yes.

Keep in mind manifesting itself costs 4 AP, so with 10 AP base, the projection would only "come to" with 6 and throwing 2 grenades is therefore impossible. It also disappears at the end of your turn.

And it does not have a Focus stat.

But other than that, you could manifest, throw one grenade and do something else. Trigger a trap. Activate overwatch. Flank someone by yourself. Pass a grenade to your clone to pass it to someone else. hit a switch far away.

Make a killing on a very select market of entertainment.

The reactor to the bottom-right with an orange wire is likely attached to Soul Operator.

To put my two cents in, the northern areas are mainly just a battleground to capture and secure, while the objective (and most of the equipment and machinery) are on the southern half of the map. Having one of you techers up north means you can plant those valuable emmiters in good positions and you can help clear out troops, but most of where you might useful I would assume is the south.

Your call. Your presence is useful either way.

Looking at the starter sheet, it doesn't state [Te]s having a range on their [Te] abilities. Does hacking have a range?

>>2739470
I don't know how I got that confused. My point still stands though, It might be a good idea to have Hemera Start on C. Out of the way and great to plant a few emitters for big emission fields around as he moves south playing support as we clear out the resistance. We can always plant a flag down south and warp him down there when he's needed.

Hitting reduces the strength of the innate defences by your crunch - 4.

The blue rectangle indicates the Sigilcraft has 1 Shielding remaining.

You would need to break through the shielding entirely to inject commands into the craft.

Initiate a core overload requires 40 AP. But in keep in mind the pilot will likely disagree.

Attempting to force remote self destruction of armoured units is unlikely to succeed unless multiple TechOps work together, the unit is abandoned or you physically hit the switch yourself.

yes, to be precise - given current weather, 6.

>>2742946
A stun grenade would have no effect on a walker platform.

If you could tunnel into the vehicle itself, or breach it by climbing it and throwing the grenade down the access hatch, you'd be better off.

>>2742986
And realising this, I also understand that that's the kind of statement that leads to more questions.

Crafts, walkers and vehicles can all be taken out by infantry. You've seen this happen - bless pilots Dimas and Brontide. It just requires opening whatever access utility you normally use to enter the vehicle.

Given the joyous existence of your convenient multi-tools, a particularly daring suicidal trencher could climb on top of a sigilcraft - being then safely out of range of its weaponry - and effect a breach into the core by opening the hatches.

That's also how Wyvern and Snake removed the Sigilcores in Imai.

But you do have to carve through 20 points of plating. So maybe a squad of Trenchers . . .

>>2743034
Sanity measure - if you're digging your own trench, you're in it when you make it, so you benefit from the moment its made. The taking cover is part of making the cover, in that case.

Piling material in the way can benefit that way, as shots are penalised for intervening material. Taking Cover just vastly improves the odds and the utility of your cover.

>>2743034
>>2743050
May have borked that one, misunderstood the query. The frag the GL fires is a heavier variant and it has 2 AoE. The Stun GL fires has 3 AoE. It is very bright.

Good luck on your end, Trencher.

>>2743060

So both in making a trench and piling material one automatically takes cover? However, Taking Cover as an action is a separate one that further boosts it? Does this apply to original map cover, like the rocks the West Pathfinders are hiding behind if they didn't Take Cover?
Given the size of vehicles, is it possible to take cover behind one like bikes, Walkers, and B-Tanks?
Is it possible to take cover behind corpses, even though they’re greyed out?

>>2743067
Ah! Some heavy support!

The hook shot is one of the finest devices to come out of the collaboration with the Reik labs. Fantastic for urban clearing and search and rescue.

It works like this:

Using Acc (at range) or Melee (guess, Pilot!) you attach the hookshot (“grab”). This costs 2 AP.

Now you can reel, swing, move, or perhaps try something conductively clever with electricity.

Reeling depends on size factors. You occupy 1 full hex. Anything smaller - humans - can be reeled for 1 AP. That also retracts the hook, if you missed.

Bigger things are 1 AP per hex.

If they are solidly anchored, /you/ move. This is usually if they are 4 or more times bigger than you.

Swing is where it gets tricky. You roll vs ACC or Melee to swing your target or yourself to a new position. If you need to change facing to do this, that also counts. But in this manner you can swing trees across the battlefield, pull apart buildings or send common men flying!

And if you happen to have first GRABBED something fragile - Pytherian Light Walker Mg, say - swing may rip it off! As could reel, but swing deals more force damage.

>>2743076

Lt’s Got it.

>>2743072

All explosives do.

>>2743072
Only frags. Flashers go off instantly, smoke do the same. Frags are on a time delay unless cooked.

Yes to everything about cover.

>>Interupting overwatches is not useful if the interuption happens after the trigger.
Is this done by post order and times? Earlier posts and times take precedence over future ones? Are there ways to supersede this arrangement?

>>2745454

I propose to call an earth buster on a Theurge, spend enough AP 5 between us to make it pinpoint then retreat

>>2745480
They missed. He ran with grace.

For pytherian battle tactics, you will need Fieldcraft.

>>2745480
I'll pop smoke to cover our retreat as well

>>2745480
You and your squad nailed three pathfinders.

Somewhat unfortunately, the Theurge reanimated them as Husks.

>>2745487
It's fine, this is a learning experience.

>>2745504
>They missed. He ran with grace.
Nice. Does Sprint and Reaction (without Dodge) reduce chances of enemies hitting?
>For pytherian battle tactics, you will need Fieldcraft.
>>2739306
>>2743131
Did my Analyze do anything? Does [Psion] Analyze benefit from AoE like [Scan+] does?

>>2745502
>>2745508
Before we do that, we're going to need to figure out what triggers AoE. Like if my Psion actions do, calling in War Effort, or defensive actions like taking cover, dodging, withdrawing, or smoke grenades.

>>2738029
I can gift you AP at 1:1, and I'm full on Focus. I have AoE Psion actions, and you have your Vindicator GL.

>>2745502
>earth buster
>>2737850
They have no AoE and are armor penetrators, they wouldn't be intended for killing Theurges unless they have to penetrate the roof.
>>2745508
>>2745454
You're in Husk AoO.

>>2745509
So that's where the Husks came from. How much HT do Husks have? Do all Husks die when the Theurge who resurrected the original ones dies, or do all Theurges have to die?

>>2745381
>>2722203
>Rifles are Single Shot, high Accuracy Weapons that deal 2d6 damage. Recent improvements have given them 2 DR standard defences. Their Tac Score is 7.
>Veterans deploy with Chirnis, a Full Kit and Attitude. Their Tac Score is 12.
If Troopers failed the Tac check, did having Veterans who succeeded return them to effectiveness?

>>2745502
Damn, artillery call doesn't have enough range to reach the Theurges.

>>2745533
For Pytherian battle tactics, you will need Fieldcraft.

However, specifically effigybinding of Husks has been witnessed in Foltern and Ravenpoint. When the primary controlker fell, so did the Husks. It seems without a minder, they do collapse. But there are two theurges...

The Pytherian Standard Overwatch Doctrine has also been witnessed. Hostile action or moving closer both seem to trigger it.

People cannot react to what they cannot detect, however...

>>2745533
If there weren't the husks I'd propose a liberal application of stun grenades followed by frags, but husks are probably unstunnable

>they wouldn't be intended for killing Theurges unless they have to penetrate the roof.
Both Theurges are indeed under a roof. But we don't have the range to call the arty on them anyway.

>>2745533
And since that Tac question is about our fine fighting men! Yes! In both cases, the Veterans rallied.

In this case, that saved you and Trencher Alice. PFC Williams will be missed.

>>2745533
I'm behind a stone, so I can throw grenades without being shot by overwatch. And I think we need to do at least something before retreating, or Stump is dead next turn.

>>2745533
Oh and yes. Scanning and Psionic intermix for benefits ( but everyone was dead, so nothing to learn. Apologies )

>>2745565
They’re still shooting at you.
You want to be careful. The Arcani, for their faults, are very good shots.

>>2745554
>People cannot react to what they cannot detect, however...
If they can't detect Psion attacks, will they be able to detect it once they see someone or themselves get Psion attacked, once their brains pop, or will they be too confused by it to attack?
>The Pytherian Standard Overwatch Doctrine has also been witnessed. Hostile action or moving closer both seem to trigger it.
So I can use Fieldkits and smoke grenades on myself and Alice, nice.

>>2745533
>They have no AoE and are armor penetrators, they wouldn't be intended for killing Theurges unless they have to penetrate the roof.
>>2745535
On that note, how much does artillery or any airborne projectile have to penetrate a roof, wall, or [Deconstruct] one?

>>2745565
You firing your frag or incendiary canisters to blow them up, or calling in fire bombardment and letting it spread would be our best bet for wiping them all out.

>>2745567
Is it possible to combine other skills or stats with [Psion] for doing stuff, like augmenting my reaction, accuracy, fieldcraft and the equivalent of mental processing or cognition?

>>2745579
We probably won't be able to wipe them all out, but a stun grenade at the [Spot Weakness] group can at least give Stump time to get away.

>So I can use Fieldkits and smoke grenades on myself and Alice, nice.
Smoke grenades actually break overwatch, so who knows whether it'll be seen as hostile. If we can get one off, though, we'll get an overwatch-free reign.

>>2745603
Hunker down, put on gas masks, call down a gas bombardment.

>>2745616
Husks

>>2738029
Say I’m sending multiple Psion actions, like multiple mind bullets, [Scan+], and similar into the same spot with extended range like +1 Range. Do I have to spend additional AP to extend the Range for each action within the same hex, or is it like expending ammo for a single action in that it's one bulk order?

>>2738029
>>Spend 4 AP to manifest a Projection within GRIT, which has AP = Your AP, disappears at the end of your turn, and can otherwise take full actions.
Oh yeah, I have Projection. I forgot about that. I could have my Projection run Overwatch, but there's still the problem of the Husk with AoO on you.
>>2745556
>If there weren't the husks I'd propose a liberal application of stun grenades followed by frags, but husks are probably unstunnable
Where'd you find that out from?

>>2745603
True. With an AoE of 3, landing on the 2 Legionnaires would have the most effect.
>>2745616
That could work.

>>2745620
Chirni

>>2745624
>Where'd you find that out from?
They are literally zombies. It's a reasonable assumption.

>>2745628
I don't have one

>>2745624
You’d have to spend AP for range per action. It’s an important universal limiter.

>>2745658
Same goes for AoE increases, spend to increase per action?

>>2745659
They're separate actions! It's all bought up individually.
