As a Commander your job is to ensure CLF have in the colony

Your main weapon are the sub-ordinates, but the most important are yours Junior Officers, Squad leaders and other NCOs

Important stuff you need to keep in mind before even rolling a CO

  1. Its pretty hard to play CO, not mechanically, but mentality, sometimes your NCOs might not do exactly what you told them, but you cannot get mad

  2. Be flexible, this just role will require you to sometimes bend over backwards for your subordinates

  3. Dont fuck around, as CO, you are held to higher RP standard, dont walk around joking about killing civilians, if people see you making stupid joke, they will turn off their brain and kill civilians just because

helpful stuff you might want to address at briefing

  1. You should grab latest one member from each squad to go on base security, Its not enough people to stop entire CLF assault on base, but It will buy you enough time for main forces to RTB

  2. Establish clear command structure, most of the operations you do not deploy, you stay at FOB eyes glued to chat, reading communications between squads, example, "For Ground-side command Staff Sargent Vanquish will have tactical command"

  3. Remind people of the Four F

Find - Locate CLF
Fix - have a squad suppress or straight up fight them
Flank - Small fire team move to the side and sneak around the main front line
Finnish - Self explanatory

General Strategies for combating CLF

  1. GOVFOR base on map, you cannot leave the base for 30 minutes, so you have to find some way to kill time, talk with enlisted, hold briefing with NCO s, talk with your Junior Office

  2. Base is the most important part, make sure you got one on ship-side maps

  3. Set up Liason that talks to civilians, suggesting a JO

MOST IMPORTANT

DONT LET CIVILIANS APROACH YOU, THEY ARE TRYING TO GET LE LE EPIC SUICIDER CLIP

Guide will be most likely outdated by the 21st february test

From what I seen, Its alot of suicide bomber paranoia, as of this moment the suicide bombers are LE LE Epic clip, and they do sooooo much damage, GOVFOR then are (in my opinion) completely right in paranoid, so until that gets patched, GOVFOR will probably a maniacs, as much as you tell them to not shoot any civilians, there will be cross-fire

next iris
#

best we got was like one or two IEDs thrown in one round

#

also, wouldn't that be meta knowledge?

#

you think there might be suicide bombers but they aren't confirmed, why are you shooting friendly civvis

pale badge
#

I am not telling GOVFOR to shoot KOS, I never said tell people to shoot civies

next iris
#

because no one tells them to

pale badge
#

Thats more of a tactical operation commander should decide, example a Staff Seargent sees a PVT killing a civie, In my opinion, he should be able to arrest him and send him back to base for court martial, but if you mean to tell people at briefing to not shoot civies, then sure, I can add that

#

again, no right to talk about that due to me not being admin, but Staff Seargent+ killing civies just for the adrenalin should be Job role ban, but again, thats more for admins

next iris
#

This isn't even about me being admin

#

i got admin after last playtest

pale badge
#

that was just my opinion

next iris
#

What i'm saying, that what i saw as a PLAYER is that GOVFOR liked to kill civvys sometimes. I think it was in the second to last insurgency round where i was a synth

#

I even asked them to "please stop shooting civillains, they aren't hostile"

#

then they started shooting me..

pale badge
#

okay, understandable, but as a commander, you cant influence these thing, if there are some warcriminals, all you can do after, is probably mass arrests

next iris
#

could also tell any officers on overwatch to keep an eye for soliders killing civvys

pale badge
#

Honestly, I never encoutered it, due to me not being this playtest, the one before, I suggest having a JO as a oversight

next iris
#

Unfortunate.
But still, just please make a mention of it and various ways to deal with it, such as overwatch and briefing mentions

pale badge
#

Okay, I guess, having Officers move with patrols to oversight, my only issue is 3 squads and how many members each, they might not catch it, for that, I encourage CMBs or any civilians call GOVFOR base

next iris
#

Typically i find the CMB getting killed by CLF

#

they just never expect it

#

i also foudn in the second to last round that CLF actually allied with the CMB

pale badge
#

thats kinda based

#

I had a insurgency from CMB on hybrisa

#

and had to deal with

next iris
#

Like, no joke, the CLF are fucking being Sherlock Holmes and taking off all identifiers and wearing a detective fit

pale badge
#

Only thing I wanna complain, on Hybrisa, CLF moves like terminators

#

Its very entretaining

next iris
#

Hybrisa should probably have senior officer spawns

#

Senior CMB

pale badge
#

my opinion, Hybrisa should have more then 1 exit out of base

#

I find CLF pinning GOVFOR in that alleway, you know which one

next iris
#

Hybrisa does have more then one exit out of the CMB base

#

oh wait

#

no

pale badge
#

GOVFOR base

#

not CMB

next iris
#

that back hallway was removed because it lead to caves

#

GOVFOR base?

#

the LZ?

pale badge
#

GOVFOR base, if you land on LZ, you will be shot to hell before making base

#

from my expirience

next iris
#

I don't think GOVFOR even bothers with a base anymore

pale badge
#

I ussualy set up base on shipside map

#

but on GOVFOR base maps

#

I find it too dangerous

next iris
#

that still diverges from the matter

#

the matter was GOVFOR shooting civs

#

Also, why are the Finnish in the 4 F's?

pale badge
#

Cause they speak funny language (I got no clue how to type)

#

You mean to say Finish. Finnish is the language of Finland.

In one round...

Each one of them was hopefully dodged but i still ended up stunned and my gun went on a country trip each time...

you have to give multiple warnings before shooting at civies
