Unless things change

#

May another Logistics Truck join you?

static galleon
#

I doubt you'll find anyone who'll turn you down haha

#

If you're a logi unit may i suggest however you consider joining our designated logi BG, the 212th? The advantage would be being able to go back to the airfield for supplies without the "main" BG having to pull back every time

#

I don't know the details but you can ask XSword

tender brook
#

Wasn't the 212 just saying to not bother joining as Logi? #meta-comm message

static galleon
#

The honest answer is that I have no idea

#

I didn't follow what was going on with that all that much

tender brook
#

I was looking through the rosters to find BGs that don't have a logi yet who is still open. Only one I found was the 212th

#

So i then looked at who had the lowest logis per players, and Venator is up there.

muted quail
#

(Insert rant about allowing Air only BGs)

tender brook
#

I am a logi truck applying to join a tank-centric BG, I think I am faster than most of the other units?

muted quail
#

Oh, I'm from 212

tender brook
#

Ah, in response to the 212 statement, gothca

muted quail
#

I think you'll fit in here great.
We'll take you if you want or they won't

errant pine
#

We’re not against logi trucks, and I suspect will put you to work if you were in the 212th…I was just meaning that the logi truck is versatile enough that they fit nicely in the BGs we’d be servicing as well.

muted quail
#

For the HATs still here, we're happy to have you join us in the 212th

errant pine
#

So with logi trucks specifically, HATs can fly over and airdrop supplies to the logi truck.

muted quail
#

If you want something to do after deploying you can join the 212th.
We're a BG focused on keeping Aerospace assets able to supply battlegroups and we have our own fighters to keep us safe. It'll be a lot of trips to an airfield.
100% your Choice and I'm happy to See more players playing HATs. May AA never find your wings

(Noticed your last msg was before the 212th started.)

#

Do you have space for another MBT?

upper harbor
#

I think we might always have spacd for MBTs?

#

Ask the bossman

#

@hybrid imp jusr to check, your tank IS activated right?

hybrid imp
#

Yes activated it a 10 min ago

#

Hm i'll work on getting on early and ask tomorrow.

upper harbor
#

@supple beacon do we have space for another MBT?

tender brook
#

(and logi)

tranquil saddle

#

We lost a few air units so we should have space for more ground units

also sorry lads if i been a bit less active then usually, family came over this week and i been spending time with them.

#

@tender brook @hybrid imp add yourself to our doc please

#

The bane of timezones

tender brook
#

We have 3 IFvs, 2 Logis, 1 LV, 3 VTOLs. How are we carrying our 10 dismount teams (48 FS)? Infantry and IFVs/VTOLs go together nicely, but they can only carry one 4FS team, which is our majority.

smoky junco
#

We’re arriving turn 5 apparently

upper harbor
jade parcel
#

Logis can carry 3 squads of Engi/Medic, since we have 12 FS seating and they only have 4 FS apiece. That's 24 FS between the two of us, meaning only 4 IFV/VTOL units need to carry basic infantry and the LV can carry the leftover Engi squad

tender brook
#

Well, I figure all the IFVs will carry inf, so that leaves one inf squad and 6 eng/med. Logi can carry some, but I think we want to carry supplies instead? The LV can carry, but will it be scouting instead?

sage crane
#

The logi trucks can hopefully carry the remainder

tender brook
#

The HATs carrying supply throughout is perfect, I am thinking of how we are trying to employ our trucks: As infantry carriers or as supply carriers? VTOLs can cary some too, but cant carry as much.

#

Will the Inf be on-foot once we make contact, and just try to run to keep up?

sage crane
#

They don’t need as much transport as we have HVTOLs to bring the damaged tanks back to the engis which is the entire point of the infantry division

#

So them Being out of danger is preferable reallt

#

Also @tender brook are you alright to tow arty?

#

We have one gun remainder that has no one capable of towing

green flume
#

So could I get some help understanding how dropping supplies works with HAT’s? Does it always have to be at a supply depot or directly on a truck, or can we just drop supplies directly to units at all?

tender brook

So the plan for engineers are to sit back and wait for armor to come to us?

it's alright.

#

you'll do good work
i would've joined the 212th but I feel like having a HVTOL dedicated to the armoured regiment is a good idea in case the 212th or other HVTOLs and transports are unavailable.

errant pine
#

Yeah, kinda like logi trucks. There’s some logi units that make a lot of sense being attached to a ground combat BG.

#

HVTOLs also have the d2 nose gun. Damage might be low, but it’s a gun that doesn’t need to reload.

quasi scarab
#

Air support is air support.

sage crane
#

You will be towed though yes

sage crane
#

I suppose we'll just have to see how it goes

quasi scarab
#

dont worry i'll carry (in a literal sense most likely)

sage crane
#

As a reminder marl and I suggest/draw the big strokes of the strategy to give us some direction, but on the ground level we have no say

#

If a tank wants to keep driving after taking damage we can't/don't want to stop you

#

We just have an engi core specifically for repair

#

As an aside to all arty:
Someone will have to sit in a HAT for the strat map sections, because we don't want to be limited to one speed, and don't have enough logi trucks for everyone. This sadly means that unless there is an airfield being constructed we CANNOT get that person down. The simplest counter to this is if someone switches BGs, so if any Arty want's to check out a different BG(ideally not spearwall, we're using one of their logi trucks) that would be a massive help so no one has to sit out/we have to find transport

#

Ahem nevermind ignore above

#

Dave has reminded me we can just put an arty on the back of a logi truck aswell

#

Which isn't as good as being towed, but preferable to not being able to touch earth

muted quail
smoky junco
#

sooon it will be time

sage crane
#

Because a lot of things just become impossible without it

muted quail
#

We’re sure they have a star port. It seems unlikely they’ll have an airfield.

sage crane
#

I seriously doubt so

#

But we'll see in the few days

#

Thanks for the reminder either way

fallow scaffold
muted quail
#

Indeed. Well know once boots are on the ground

#

HATs are just worthless post deployment without one. So I hope I’m wrong

sage crane
#

HATs don't even play that much of a role in deployment anymore

#

They'll definitely need a buff for next campaign when we have more orbs.

muted quail
#

Yeah, it’s a big change.
I’m definitely gonna be asking you how you felt playing at the end of this

#

I’m interested in seeing how all the different types of HATs are feeling during the game

tender brook
#

Isn't there a BG that has airfield construction as a core task?

It is 5 layers deep and uses steel-reinforced concrete?

This is why we should make use of our googleDoc. Objectives, priorities, and plans can go there.
We should also add a section for transportation, noting which units are being carried by which (IE Medic A in VTOL B)

Agreed, organization will go a long way and make TacCom's work easier.

I mean in essence this battleground would be ill suited to be the first wave of a planetary assault like this one, there's no shame in being late

#

A battlegroup is never late, nor are they early, they arrive precisely when they mean to

sage crane

A battlegroup full of tanks is never late to fighting a high tech enemy that likely has anti tank capabilities we should be aware of first

It'll still be a few turns till we make planetfall so i personally don't feel like it would be worth planning things in detail already?

@median sail So... that's not TF1

that's TF2

Personally, Idd have a tank with a pirate cap/symbol on it

To symbolise we are the tank unit and that we are kleptomaniacs

Personally Idd suggest either the baneblade (because dawn) or the TOG II because it’s eccentric

Can't we just use the raptor for the patch? It's matte, too, so it should be easier to feed the patchification process, no?

Can we get like the format we need to put our orders in?

# distant olive Can we get like the format we need to put our orders in?

Order Template

Unit Callsign: (your units name on the map)
Unit Type: (What are you?)
Carrying: (Passengers?Supply?Ammo?Fuel? It all goes here)
Equipment: (What extra upgrades/gear does your unit have if any?)

Order Type: (how are you moving? or staying? there are specific order types your unit can take such as Advance, Hold, Rush or Evasive. Check the rules doc for more info!)
Movement/Action Tracker: (A breakdown description of your order, including specifics like; any specific routes to your destination, where you are picking up/dropping off passengers along the way and who that is, Where you are resupplying and from what, what are you shooting if your weapon can pick a target? any and all specific details go here.)

Starting Coords: (where you were)
Ending Coords: (where you will be)
Facing: (what direction you face at the end of your movement is very important, you never know when you might be flanked so we always need to know.)

RP: ('I am a dwarf and im digging a hole, diggy diggy hole!' Its Roleplay, have some fun with it)

Attachments: (You can always draw your movement and actions out on a map and send that as an image along with the order, its actually incredibly helpful to do so)

Reactions to your order, and what they mean:
red_pen -Something is wrong with the order and needs checking, expect a ping
⌛ -Awaiting ruling from higher up
✅ -Looks good, order will be processed soon
ARMCOSalute3 -Your order is finalised, cannot now be changed and is on the tac-map

Remember, Fenia: It's not kidnapping if the otter-lemur-thing consents

Then it's recruitment

#

Do we need to put in orders? Or is this just for RP at the moment?

jade parcel
#

Just for RP at the moment, orders aren't required until we actually hit the map in a few turns

wintry coral
#

Any date for our estimated start time?

west aspen
# wintry coral Any date for our estimated start time?

Technically, y'all are arriving with TF1 (unless something happened?)

however, given that you aren't going to engage in combat, you're just going to declare that you are in transit as a BG.

So... no orders needed, but your TCO may want you guys to practice putting them in.

So with orders we use the template and put them in the mission orders chat right?

So to my understanding TacComs put a generic "we move to port" in and thats all for our BG right?

odd cape
#

Idk i think we need the taccom to put it in to make sure the BG is moving with the main force behind TF Victorum. All the other BG's did that for movement and tracking

sage crane
#

No?

#

We don't need to do anything till the main fleet reaches planet side

#

Actually i'm not sure

#

@supple beacon conundrum has arose

distant olive
#

Because other battlegroups are putting in these "move with npc transport to X"

#

For example Ultra

We likely dont have to do it as the NPC transports can only land in a secure star port anyway, but yeah it cant hurt to shoot something over just my take on that

Venator will drop in at the Lussan gate and then beeline for the Elim spaceport ASAP(apologies for sloppy quality, no one knew we needed a map for this in our BG, Marl(our actual TAC-COM) might be on in time to drop a map?

We won’t be hitting the strategic map anytime soon

I can’t say who gets to go where

I know all the infantry fits in our ground units, and 1 arty needs to be towed by someone in another group

#

I can’t do shit other than that

tranquil saddle
#

Well chat I hope all the tanks roll their cap and all inf rolls d6

sage crane
#

Tbh we are very very heavily reliant on other BGs for Strat map movement

#

Because we either need a HVTOL for one of our arty, or we need another logi truck to tow it

#

Initial backup idea was put them in the back of a HAT, but we don’t have any airfields

>> RP POST (Part 1) <<
Mako and Kodiak's crews enter the automated freighter's rec room. They exhibit various degrees of dirtiness after making some final calibrations on their vehicles. As they grunt, sitting down, Kodiak's pilot breaks the silence:
- "So Cortez, run me through again how we got here."
- Mako's pilot answers : "Well, Commander said he'd gotten on a call with many other captains to prepare for the operation. A heavy armour mechanised battlegroup needed a HVTOL for a rapid response air support. I was like 'hell yeah!' and then thought I could include you too, and here we are!" Shoulder pat "You're officially an armoured vehicle!"
- "Definitely more armored than those cyber car things running around in the core worlds, but I don't know if I'd compare Kodiak to..." gestures vaguely towards the vehicle bay. "that."
- Kodiak's gunner interjects : "That new autocannon is gonna be sweet though. Been running tests on this bad boy and I can't wait to see it in action against those bots."
- Mako's co-pilot adds : "Yeah, and dont forget we finally convinced the commander that he could trust us with a mounted gun on the mako! We wont be sitting ducks anymore!"
(Mako co-pilot is well know as a trigger happy fellow among the britanny crew)
- Kodiak's gunner responds : "I think that's something we can all drink to!"
He looks expectedly at Mako's copilot
- "Oh come on", he adds, "everyone knows you brought along a bottle of Titanian ale, no one's gonna tell the Commander-"
- Mako's pilot interrupts him : "Actually, he's not the one who's smuggled some alcohol this time..." He pulls out the bottle "Titanian ale, but this one's a good one. Our contact finally learned what good alcohol is." He grabs a few cups and serves everybody a glass.
Kodiak's comm officer smacks his tongue.
- "You weren't lying, this is some good stuff."
His tone sounds relaxed, but his eyes keep glancing at the countdown to FTL exit on the wall.

>> RP POST (Part 2) <<
Mako's pilot takes notice.
- "You think it'll be like the landing on Titan? Things got pretty heated. I think it's our first real frontline duty, no?"
Kodiak's other 2 crew members turns to the comm officer.
- "I don't know... Word is things are already hot at the gate. People are starting to wonder if there's anything left worth saving beyond Elim."
- Mako's pilot retorts : "Heh, I'm optimistic, if the bots are everywhere, it might mean there wont be any super fortified place, yet."
- Kodiak's gunner thinks for a bit, then settles for : "Well, if there is, we'll be there to crack it."
Mako's co-pilot points to the SHBT's silhouette, visible through the dirty glass of the rec room's windows.
- "Well, that thing surely will."
- Everyone : "Cheers."
The glasses clink. On the clock, the countdown keeps ticking down.

#

Ah alright, ima snatch myself some space then ^^
after figuring out in what I can even place myself lol

sage crane
#

Check the bottom right of the carry table

marble echo
#

Just saw that the vtols don't have supplies earmarked. We can carry 6fs AND two small supplies (AFAIK)

muted quail
#

Yes

odd cape
#

Looks like storm is taking heavy casualties with the bot drop pod reinforcements. No armor sighted yet

#

Don't know if that's a good or bad sign

static galleon
#

I think what gave Storm a run for their money was the bots' armor ; if that's the case, then we shouldn't worry about that

covert compass
signal coyote
#

We can abuse that to inflict casualties before enemy armor arrives

quasi scarab
#

alright, time to land and kick some asses

sage crane
#

But good point

signal coyote
#

We landed?

sage crane
#

I’ll make sure people know when submitting orders

sage crane

quasi scarab
#

now
I need to find who the hell is our SHBT (i'm transporting the guy (I hope my engines dont blow up))

signal coyote
#

I'm scared boss

wary sundial
#

Think I am properly on it now

static galleon
quasi scarab
#

is says butterfingers49

static galleon
#

that checks out

signal coyote
#

Storm held

#

But Fighters are coming in

quasi scarab
#

i have the honour of carrying the biggest damn land vehicle in this game

quasi scarab
static galleon
#

If we keep control of Elm city next round, are we gonna have to worry about where to deploy or do we simply appear as an icon on the map and just move on

#

Considering a lot of BGs are gonna be dropping with us

static galleon
quasi scarab
#

true
but I dont want to get shot out of the sky
if the clankers have threat prioritisation, they'll try to shoot the SHBT out of the sky if able.

signal coyote
#

We'll probably be responsible for making space

compact minnow
#

Damn, rip T13C. Fought my first battle alongside em

hidden oyster
#

Oh god, that doesn’t bring back good memories. Reminds me of my first campaign.

compact minnow
#

If we can get the fast movers on the ground first, we could probably send a vanguard force to clear an LZ for the heavy weapons

static galleon
#

That's already what we did with Storm Blessed though

compact minnow
#

Ah true

signal coyote
#

What's the MBT count?

compact minnow
#

Then hopefully our SHBT will be safe

static galleon
#

If bots are coming next round, they'll be coming from the edges of the map, which means they hopefully won't have a firing line on the transports coming in from the center

quasi scarab
compact minnow
#

Also true

static galleon
#

The biggest threat I'm seeing is those 3 fighters that seem intent on making it to low orbit

#

Yeah

#

But we'll be making planetfall inside the freighters, not in VTOLs and HATs

#

Unless there's something I misunderstood

quasi scarab
#

oh oof
i was scared for a second

static galleon
#

And Fluffle will be in orbit to cover the BGs' arrival

hidden oyster
#

I was in Battlegroup Typhoon when we lost 4 of the 6 infantry units we had in Campaign 3.

static galleon
#

Same here

quasi scarab
#

same

#

we lost them due to AA

hidden oyster
#

Yeah. I was surprised I made it to sweet, sweet ground.

quasi scarab
#

here, we'll lose them due to clankers

static galleon
#

Trust me you're not the only one getting C3 vietnam flashbacks right now

#

Hey random thought, you think the clanker fighters are crewed or they're like the CIS fighters in star wars where the fighters are droids of their own?

hidden oyster
#

Idk, I’m not paid enough to think about it.

quasi scarab
#

i dont really think about that kind of detail when i am at high risk of getting shot by them

static galleon
#

Damn.

#

Relax guys we'll be dropping just fine and THEN we'll die

#

not the other way around

quasi scarab
compact minnow
#

So with Elim secure, do we want to make a break for the mines?

static galleon
#

The plan for Venator is to secure the crossroads and then head for Ziyal city

compact minnow
#

No wait

#

Yeah

#

Just remembered the plan

#

I just saw the mines and started drooling over all that valuable ore

severe crane
#

so infantry are dropping in first on the turn that we are dropping in and then armor drops in next turn?

static galleon
#

We're all dropping in the same ship

#

We're all currently in an automated freighter that's taking us to Elm city, then depending on the situation there we'll have to fight our way out or simply walk towards the crossroads

#

"walk", drive, fly, whichever fits each unit

severe crane
#

alright cuz i just curious about the HATS that we currently have only see infantry aboard along with 2 arty

sage crane

#

I assume that the city being called both Elm and Elim are a result of Humans and Lumars having different annunciation

#

And definitely not because of typos

static galleon
#

That's the spirit! It's not a mistake, it's wordbuilding

compact minnow
#

Yes

sage crane
compact minnow
#

Lumar mouths can't pronounce "Elm" so they call it "Elim", and humans call it "Elm" because the first human to move in misheard it's name

wintry sapphire
#

so, whats the plan for next turn now that we got the space port?

compact minnow
#

Now nobody knows what to call it

sage crane
#

@strong shoal FYI we have no more tow spots for arty, Spearhead have 1 logi truck spare who is offering to tow you on the strat map, idk about tactical map wise
I suggest you hit them up, i'll find their name for you quickly- It's @ celtic._-nova

static galleon
#

Right now we're just out the gate

compact minnow
#

Once we make it down, that is

static galleon
sage crane
#

The current order is:
Next turn arrive in orbit, maybe land?
If not next turn, turn after, we land and we shoot bots
Then we go to crossroads!

wintry sapphire
#

AYE!

signal coyote
#

Is Crossroads top left?

sage crane
#

Middle

#

Good/bad news

#

We aren't touching down in Elim till 2 turns

signal coyote
#

Who is?

sage crane
#

The tac map will be up no matter what meaning we can't immediatly land at the space port

compact minnow
#

And the good news?

sage crane
sage crane
compact minnow
#

Ah

sage crane
#

We aren't prepared at all 🤣

signal coyote
#

My b I meant who's dropping instead

sage crane
#

Uh whoever the 3 speeds are maybe? I don't know if they're fast enough

compact minnow
#

We probably shouldn't have Strategically Transferred™ all the parts from Engine 3

#

At least someone remembered to seal the fuel line

smoky junco
#

whens our next order due

#

been playing tabletop games today

sage crane
#

check breifing

#

I'm 90% sure we aren't landing howver

#

EVERYONE WE WILL BE TOUCHING DOWN AT ELIM MORE THAN LIKELY IN 2 ISH TURNS. START PLANNING NOW WHICH TRANSPORTS WILL BE CARRYING WHO WHEN WE HAVE TOUCHED DOWN PLANETSIDE FOR STRAT MAPS, CHECK OUT THE DOCS "CARRY" TAB
