yep, totally fine

rain anvil
#

I also double checked, so let's call it a triple (s) check :p

proper plover
cold prism
#

I am tempted to abuse this knowledge.

But I shall not. Lest Tabby have Tuff, Trion and Dres smack me with rolled up newspapers.

cold prism
#

Any thoughts on what we want scanned next turn?

I know we don't have a full map for this round. But I'm open to suggestions early lol

hoary apex
#

3220?

#

that building looks good

#

we dont wanna leave hostiles on our flanks

#

and if its civs they can be left for now

#

safe enough behind our line

quasi pulsar
#

Depends on what we see on our map

rain anvil
#

I am cooked x)

#

Coming down right next to two aa bots :/

quasi pulsar
#

We'll see.

I cant say I warned yay that AA is in there somewhere. So many unknowns XD

rain anvil
#

Definitely

#

It's a risk I took willingly. Let's hope they don't hit too hard

quasi pulsar
#

Lets see if I am still alive... alone up on my hill

dreamy radish
#

I believe in you

rain anvil
# quasi pulsar

I have an hmg capable of point defense, so it shouldn't be thaaaat bad

quasi pulsar
#

I somehow left my LV, zoomy buddy behind me.

rain anvil
#

And you're in evasive, so more or less immortal :p

fast sedge
quasi pulsar
#

Spare tires will save me at least from the first immobilization subsystem hit

rain anvil
#

That is a very nice safety

rain anvil
quasi pulsar
#

Ahh I see how I outsped Georgia.

He moved 2 up to where I was. However, in order to evasive I have to move at least 2 spaces. So he sorta ran up to me as I sped off from him.

rain anvil
#

Although I will say, maybe that opens the chance for legged vehicles next game, which would be awesome

rain anvil
quasi pulsar
#

If he had gone full speed he could of been right next to me on the hill. Though I would of advised him to go evasive if he did that

quasi pulsar
rain anvil
#

Gonna be very cool. Less hits more speed?

cursive otter
#

Hey tabby

#

Quick question

#

Does it count as if I am in the building or if I am outside?

#

It's not clear right now

#

Because I have a clean view of the targets through the entrance

#

And I'm at the entrance of the building

quasi pulsar
# rain anvil Gonna be very cool. Less hits more speed?

No idea. Its in works. I need to make my proposal to shack as I have come up with ideas for it. Good ones? Eh.

But it will be a hybrid unit like power armor.

Just not as much damage. More of a harasser. Will still rely on movement and evasive. And striking when moment is right.

rain anvil
#

omg me made it

quasi pulsar
#

Maybe

#

Theres a correctiom

#

Oh noes

thorny warren
quasi pulsar
rain anvil
#

goodbye world

lunar snow
#

Here's hoping they aren't AP AA

quasi pulsar
#

They are double the firepower of our tank AA

lunar snow
#

How much armour you have, TripleS?

#

I know you have more than 2 hits, so you may be able to tank those hits

quasi pulsar
#

2d4, AP 1 is my guess

lunar snow
#

At minimum AP 1

#

We'll see for sure

#

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

restive grove
#

You just got very lucky

fast sedge
#

damn the dead AA also got a shot off before it died

quasi pulsar
lunar snow
#

Ah, I see why he was concerned, then, but... Holy shit that luck

shell phoenix
#

NEVER PUNISHED BABY

quasi pulsar
#

Each 1d4 of the 2d4 is a individual hit

green cedar
quasi pulsar
#

So that was 6-8 potential hits

rain anvil
#

Sweating profusely

quiet sparrow
#

Simm on the Triple S

rain anvil
#

Ok how could they get fires though

quasi pulsar
rain anvil
#

Shouldn't any roll be max 3 dmg, with the one armor?

quiet sparrow
#

They're ap1, I think

lunar snow
#

Because Orbitals basically can (and do) catch fire when hit at all

quasi pulsar
#

They have two guns each each gun has potential to do 1 hit. As they are seperate sources.

fast sedge
lunar snow
#

They are

fast sedge
#

if they were all would be hits cos destroyer has 1 armour

lunar snow
#

Holy

#

You're right

quasi pulsar
fast sedge
quiet sparrow
#

Fair, but I thought I also remember that the fire is based off the number rolled and not the actual damage received. So a 4 is a fire regardless of armor

fast sedge
#

the armour reduction doesnt matter for fire

rain anvil
#

I see

#

Well shit

quasi pulsar
fast sedge
#

anyway with 6d4 attacking us only getting hit 3 times is a 13% chance, we are so lucky

quasi pulsar
#

I do not trust unknown blips anymore. There is more enemy units then there was unknown blips I think. XD

fast sedge
quasi pulsar
#

Like genestealers in spacehulk

fast sedge
#

it seems that each blip is not one bot soldier as I thought

#

but a 6 bot group instead

quasi pulsar
#

Which means I might be fucked

#

Stares at the five blips dangerously near me

fast sedge
#

and they definitely have 1 armour cos none of the fighters got 4 kills, the max was 3, unless we got really unlucky and just didnt roll a 4 but I think theyre more likely to have 1 armour

quasi pulsar
#

I think he only processed the bombers so far

#

Oh no

#

He got the fighters as well. Just mentioned bombers

fast sedge
#

yeah, you can see some of the bots blacked out

quasi pulsar
#

Time to theory craft a battleship that is nothing but HMG, Damage Control Stations, and Repair Kits.

Sole purpose? Absorb AA fire XD

#

Call it the Turtle

rain anvil
#

I was also thinking about that x)

#

Fighters can fly around it using it as a shield

pliant mauve
rain anvil
#

You can buy it

#

Spend 4 slots on it, it's not bad

coral dirge
#

So, Simm
How good is the insurance coverage on your orbital?

pliant mauve
#

Yeah, I meant that it need to be in shopping list too

wind wasp
#

Thanks for tanking those shots TripleS. If there’s anything we can do to help, let us know

#

I owe you 1 hit lmao, that’s like half my life

rain anvil
#

Kill those AA bots before they fire again :p

#

I appreciate the thought though 🙂

wind wasp
#

We’ll get on it

pliant mauve
arctic vale
#

I’m trying to see if I can jet jump up the mountain to the AA to assist in the goal of saving you Simm. No one has an answer for me on how high I can jump though…

wind wasp
pliant mauve
#

Well, HAT pilot can lend and use their action either on fire or to actually help reloading bombers

#

We don’t have enough units on TripleS to deal with everything and keep bombers on their duty, being like 1 action short

quasi pulsar
pliant mauve
#

bays have "campaign modifier" of 3 slots for aerospace, no?

#

maybe i misunderstood it

quasi pulsar
#

I think thats for launching. But not stowing. Not sure

wind wasp
fast sedge
#

and us fighters can help repair

#

and theres no point reloading the bombers if the fighters are delayed

#

so we're definitely not launching bombers alone

#

so no matter how fast they get going theyre going to have to wait on us

fossil cairn
fossil cairn
pliant mauve
#

oh yeah

#

i was wrong

#

nevermind

rain anvil
#

We'll make do on the triple

#

I'm just hoping that dwarf can actually kill these AA bots this turn

fast sedge
#

does anyone know if the bot AAs can fire on us as we ascend to atmosphere

quiet sparrow
fast sedge
#

hmm so we have to tank 4d4s next turn

pliant mauve
#

there should be artillery fire by dwarfs this turn

quasi pulsar
#

I am currently cowering on my hill

#

Cause there was 5 unknown blimps near me

#

And unknown blimps have been larger than they appear...

fast sedge
#

btw did our bombers do no damage to the AA?

quasi pulsar
#

I think 1 aa died.

fast sedge
#

oh it did?

quasi pulsar
#

It just got to shoot before death

fast sedge
rain anvil
#

They could still get the kills this turn

quasi pulsar
#

Well artillery doesnt do damage to ground units. Or did that change?

rain anvil
#

We'll see if that gets resolved

fast sedge
restive grove
#

It doesn't

#

All it does is lower defense

feral tangle
fast sedge
#

oh damn

Arty can deal a d6 to large targets

Which is orbitals and anything else that is large enough

We'll make them hurt for that

pliant mauve
#

RIP, Draken

fast sedge
#

oh then, can the artillery fire this turn?

pliant mauve
#

we'll see

fast sedge
#

yeah, depends on what they even targeted

pliant mauve
#

from what I've seen from DF intentions, they want to

cold prism
#

So.....uhhh.....any new suggestions for scans?

I might have some extra flame throwers you can use @rain anvil

pliant mauve
#

i would propose 3213

#

mountain hex

fast sedge
slender bear
#

Oh my

#

Knew there was AA

#

Good thing we didn't get targeted.

quasi pulsar
proper plover
#

well hell, what a morning to miss midrounds coming out 😬

feral tangle
#

Rabbit's already lost two

#

Their anti-air is horrifying

proper plover
#

yeah it is

restive grove
#

Bolts is the only who who died

#

We've taken some hits

feral tangle
#

Hopefully Boreal had time to jump out but I'm not optimistic personally

restive grove
#

I mean Shack seems to do movement before attacks so I hope so?

#

But there's no indication of them anywhere so I'm thinking he missed him

quasi pulsar

Sipping soda on hill desperate to know what happened on the south end of his map

lunar snow

I sent a clarifying message in the taccom thread, here's hoping he sees it

proper plover
arctic vale
proper plover
#

oh no, Draken.

hoary apex
#

is that fluffles first loss this campaign?

quiet pendant
#

Mhmm.

arctic vale
# proper plover oh no, Draken.

It’s alright. I got the sensor data the bombers needed to do good work. If y’all save the civilians it’ll be worth it.

I also have an rp with Scarab to save the pilot (or as much of him as we can) so that’s fun

proper plover
#

yep, that was a clutch run to get the bots off the civilians. Let your pilot rest up in Lonely.

hoary apex
#

next campaign we petition shack for titanfall style mechs

#

you just hop out and do shit

arctic vale
#

I’d be so down for that. And it would work great for the rp idea I had for my recovery

snow cipher
#

I’m kind of sad that I chose the wrong angle. I thought they would be in the 90 degree arc.

you hit one

#

i think the hit marker will show up in the final maps

coral dirge
#

I wonder how armored those bots are
even if I'm evasive, it feels like my 1AP does nothing to them

wind wasp
#

Looks like we got 2/3 AA guns?

#

Is that correct

#

You guys bombed one and we shot another

proper plover
proper plover
quasi pulsar
#

Me and my hill is still a unknown

proper plover
#

i might know a thing

quasi pulsar
#

What scares me is how what? 9 unknown blops turned into 36 fs of troops

And I stopped right next to 5 unknown blops

#

If I math mathily...

Theres 20 fs of troops standing where I thought was 5.

proper plover
#

the question marks, really are unknowns to keep people guessing

hoary apex
quasi pulsar
#

Accursed unknown blops. Operating like Genestealers unknown tokens from the Spacehulk board game.

Will it be 1 genestealer or 5?! WHO KNOWS

hoary apex
quasi pulsar
proper plover
#

the blops down by BeachBN and Warren are down by half, after the teamwork scouting and shooting between us

quasi pulsar
#

I knew the risk when I got there. I just didnt expect to be so near the end.

quasi pulsar
hoary apex
quasi pulsar
#

Im guessing the numbers behind the blips is either randomized. Or a precentage base. To keep people on their toes

My guess that is

proper plover
#

blips and blops are simply unknown, could be something could be nothing, friendly or hostile 🤷‍♀️

hoary apex
#

next game Im bringing a scanner ship

proper plover
#

they got that Federal Listening Post up and running, right? I think that will be really beneficial to our intel gathering

hoary apex
#

is it a one time scan or can we keep using it?

Won't know until we try? Shack did give the units at the other mine the choice to stay and keep bringing up supplies

quasi pulsar
#

My reaction to whats happening with TF Venator

#

Fighter swarm from heck

proper plover
#

oh yeah, its brutal over there

quasi pulsar
#

Doesnt help it looks like they built their ships anti orbitally. But you cant prep for everything.

#

Also I wanna know what is in the light blue building so bad. It totally doesnt keep me awake at night. (It doesnt but still)

proper plover
#

just go down a little hill there and find out.. easy peasy

quasi pulsar
#

You best be careful tabby

#

I'll do it

proper plover
#

and I'll watch from my captain's chair

quasi pulsar
#

Tabby owes me new motorcycles if they blow up

proper plover
#

sure, why not? if you blow up, I'll probably blow up too. then we'll both be blown up

quasi pulsar
#

Oh that reminds me. After this campaign I need to drop off my attempt at ideaing the lv motorcycle refit and some upgrades for shack... if he is still taking ideas by then.

quasi pulsar
cold prism

#

Huh nothing about me and you on the events there tabby. We went under the radar we're just that good.

proper plover
quasi pulsar
#

@lean path my plan is to advance onto the hill on 3618/3619 and help take care of those armored teansports. If you want to join me. The high ground will hopefully let us pen their armor easily.

lean path
quasi pulsar
#

The civvies in the light blue building are luckily running to the safety of the other battlegroup. So I am not needed on this end

Those armored transports might mess up Panther if left alone.

quasi pulsar
#

Theres nothing between you and that hill so a straight shot should be fine.

wind wasp
#

@rain anvil did you know want our HATs help with putting out the fire? I know there might’ve been a space issue but they said they’d be willing to help

lean path
#

That spot should be fine. I'll push there and provide fire support.

quasi pulsar
#

@cursive otter and @hoary apex me and Georgia are coming to try and either distract or help @snow cipher take care of those transports so you can focus on the bots and civies.

rain anvil
#

Did the triple's hmg not fire? There should be that damned AA thing in range of it

snow cipher
#

I'm surprised that those bots penetrated the Lonely Heir. Miku's not going to be happy.

quasi pulsar
#

Also if thise Civies need a ride after they're rescued, lemme know. I am happy to take them on a ride to the other battlegroups for saftey....

I think I got child sized helmets in the stowage boxes on the back.

quasi pulsar
#

If their like our IFVs at all.

spark mauve
#

Hello Fluffle, are you planning to stick around at Hill Mine for the next two turns?

quasi pulsar
#

At least 1 more turn of action. it will take us a full turn just to load everyone back up onto the ships.

So its reasonable to say we are here for a turn or two.

snow cipher
#

I'll bring the Lonely Heir to hex 3818 and then next turn I'll land there to pick up the civies.

quasi pulsar
neat hollow
#

With firing the autocannon is it one shot reload or we have three shots before reload?

spark mauve
snow cipher
quasi pulsar
#

@spark mauve you got us, my best guess, on the map for at least 2 more turns.

quasi pulsar
#

I am not keeping track of the large supply usage so I dunno where we are with supplies.

wind wasp
#

You can resupply at an orbital in high orbit if you have the speed to go up as well

#

So if they have to orbit this turn, but stick around next you can go up and resupply

rain anvil
#

@proper plover Sorry about the late ping, but when you have time, could you check if the triple actually fired it's hmg? It's lacking the small 'has fired' icon :p

hoary apex
#

so give him a bit

#

oh also its not that late here rn

#

roughly 5:30 pm

rain anvil
#

I shall wait then

wind wasp
spark mauve
#

Do you guys know where this enemy orbital fleet went? Last spotted entering H-H 2 turns ago

hoary apex
#

no idea

#

thats the last we saw of them

#

at this point they can redeploy to anywhere

#

we had some ideas but ultimately only time will tell

spark mauve
#

They'd have to either still be at H-H or at Haydar Village, since if they had gone to Crossroads we'd have seen them overhead

wind wasp
#

That’s assuming they can only go speed one

spark mauve
#

We'll have to hope they stay out of Hill Mine because we don't have the air force or the orbital force to contest a fleet that size

hoary apex
#

the only ones that do are currently getting jumped by bees

cursive otter
quasi pulsar
#

Bip bop bam. Still no computer... still no internet. But first to post twice in a row now >:D

cursive otter
#

@proper plover Sorry for the ping, but didn't we engage the bots?

#

Well

#

We

#

I meant I

#

But you get it

quasi pulsar
#

Thats my guess but I ant in the know.

coral dirge
#

ok so, you guys reckon I could cut a hole in the civvies hideout to the north without that artillery obliterating us to pieces?

cold prism
#

Well ARMCO is really in the shit now. Let the bots have it good I say!

@proper plover

Ill be traveling Sunday. Do you mid if I go ahead and post my orders for the next round this afternoon/evening so I dont forget?

quasi pulsar
#

I got my mad max outfit ready for when all the orbitals are destroyed and we have to reinact The Fall of Reach.

hoary apex
#

you got this!

#

(I cant do anything else Im not a combat medic)

hoary apex
#

I think our situation is pretty clear though

#

just the minutae of the fighting to debate over

#

orders are open though

hoary apex

Most likely up until the 2nd of August. FYI.

Thanks! 🙂 The chance to kill that AA gun before it murders us would change a lot for us

hoary apex

doesnt look like the gun fired

IMG_2200.png
coral dirge
#

say, do we know anything about this artillery?

image.png
quasi pulsar
#

It one shot a logi

coral dirge
#

that's... not a lot of intel

quasi pulsar
#

Ayup

slender bear
#

once AA is taken care of, i can make a run on it

pliant mauve
# coral dirge that's... not a lot of intel

it has some armor - probably 1
it probably has range of 3
it can be targeted by our arty

there also something about it being able to climb, but I'm not sure what that means from mechanical perspective

coral dirge
#

The climbing part explains how it got on high ground, which gives it +1 to attacks
What worries me is it's minimum range
I'm thinking of breaching the bunker from the north and escort the Lumarans in the mountains under the artillery's minimum range

pliant mauve
#

We can ask TreeCat for direct scan of them to try and get more info on their capabilities, I guess?

coral dirge
#

Sadly we won't get the Intel for this turn, might as well scan elsewhere

raven tundra
#

9o0lp;8

#

+66+

rain anvil
#

The plan to not die is forming up. Do we have any info on if there's a chance to kill the AA before it shoots? Or does everything happen at the same time?

#

And if there's a chance to move out of the aa area before it shoots

spark mauve
#

So if you've got people who can, please do that

rain anvil
#

but the aa that died still shot us last turn

spark mauve
#

Probably because it wasn't spotted so people couldn't specify that they were attacking that particular target

rain anvil
#

Well if that gets confirmed by shack, it would be actually amazing

#

we definitely have the means to target the aa

spark mauve
#

Either way we need to make sure people are targeting it

#

We can't let it stay alive and shoot us another turn, it's a wonder TripleS didn't go down last turn

rain anvil
#

dwarf has artillery

quiet pendant
#

Alright, order sent since I don't know if I'll have Internet later.

rain anvil
#

I feel like the aa problem will not be resovled x)

fast sedge
#

yep, oh well

hoary apex
#

vote now on where the sensor station is being used

rain anvil
#

Any news on the chance to hit the AA before it fires again/chance that forgotten hits from last turn still happen?

#

Otherwise, we're just gonna sit here and take it I guess, it's not like we can out run bullets

#

Try to outrepair the damage

#

we have enough crew to extinguish both fires and use both repair kits on the triple. But moving seems pointless

quiet pendant
#

You could return to High Orbit. Wait for the air cav to smash that pieces

hoary apex
#

the triple has the best chance of tanking the AA

#

unfortunately

rain anvil
#

Even returning back to high orbit, we'll get shot in the ass on the way there

high pecan
#

All right, I managed to do that roll for the HMG I missed. They did hit that AA weapon is down against triple s

#

So just a heads up

fast sedge
#

so we're safe against a one shot this turn

pliant mauve
#

Oh, thanks Shack

fast sedge
#

I know the dwarves are targeting the AA and its best that they dont target an already dead AA cos they didnt know about it

pliant mauve
#

3217 one probably, it's closest to Triples

#

Amazing

#

also thank you shack and tabby 🙂

proper plover
#

Orders Due in 6 Hours!

#

the AA in hex 3217 is down! Good shooting ALPHA

#

If there are orders to re-arm this turn, Lonely is the only Orbital in Fluffle with Large Supply left to use for the Task Force. If their orders don't indicate they are using it, there is no supply to re-arm

#

Draken- you are welcome to continue making RP posts in the Orders channel if you would like, but you aren't required to do so

rain anvil
#

@snow cipher Please spend a supply x) my bombers are resupplying this turn

snow cipher
#

If it is possible then I’ll resubmit my orders with me spending the supply point you need

proper plover
#

The Large Supply can be spent anywhere within the Task Force, doesn't matter where you are 👍

rain anvil
#

As far as the Triple is concerned, we're not moving, fixing one damage and the fires, and launching the bombers at the bots again. I'm hoping there's still a chance to save the civilians

#

With the second AA going down, we're actually not dying anymore, which is great

proper plover
#

@high osprey @scenic matrix Here's my proposed plan for Warren this turn. Help out with those vehicles because it looks like plenty of infantry coming in from the west.

rain anvil
proper plover
#

I was wanting to generally stay out of 'get shot in the butt range' but if the hostiles move up to do so having the autocannon manned would be nice

rain anvil
#

Oh i see

#

do you think infantry can actually shoot orbitals?

proper plover
#

I feel a little bad asking NavyTKs to do it though 🤣 they've been running back and forth all campaign

proper plover
rain anvil
#

Gotta put the controls for both guns in the same room :p

rain anvil
proper plover
#

yeah, kinda don't want to be the example for that one 😬

quiet pendant
#

Without one we're pretty impotent.

proper plover
#

yeah, if we re-group with Atlas they could share some via VTOL or we could go down to that mine in the south and pull some supplies up for ourselves

rain anvil
#

That might be smart

#

Also gives us time to lick our wounds

#

Atlas is running out of supply fast

hoary apex
#

or you can install one of those horizontal path things

#

like the ones in airports

hoary apex
scenic matrix
#

I'll move to the autocannon then

cursive otter
#

@proper plover Hey do I need open the entrance to get in the building or is it already open?

#

If I need to do it, is it a primary action?

#

Do you think the bots will come out for themselves if I hold outside.

snow cipher
#

@rain anvil order has been sent. Miku will be piloting the supply shuttle to your ship now. You'll know when she gets there when you hear her songs.
