Battlegroup 2 - Venator: Comms

[cunning ermine]

Full ODT drop on the Northeast Hill

we should be able to take one or more of those heavy guns

what would you prefer for CAS? attack runs along the front lines, or tag some of those Gunships?

[signal mulch]

Atlas, are you sure you should leave Victorum to fight the fighter swarm solo?
-# Not that Venator wouldn’t greatly appreciate your help

[cunning ermine]

Our fleet couldn't get there without passing through Ziyal

We could Sortie our 4 FTRs, but that is NOT gonna help much

[signal mulch]

I only mean it as if ya deploy here pretty sure you’re stuck at C-Z

I do not mean to stop ya helping Venator, I just desire to check personally

[compact minnow]

I can probably swing around to support the ODTs

[cunning ermine]

Storm may also be coming

[signal mulch]

We’re voting

[cunning ermine]

us too

[signal mulch]

The pirate man came in for help

[smoky junco]

YAR

just getting the canva ready

we SHOULD be ready to start taking orders now

[sage shale]

SAND is the closest, tho Ward is closer to them, so I guess it depends on if Adler throws in the towel on advancing on foot and asks for a lift or if they even survive for one. Either way, having all the IFVs regroup together would give us a more force. Just gotta see how the inf feel about it all @tranquil saddle @real kite

[sage shale]

Tldr, the idea is to regroup all IFVs and Inf squads to make a push behind central heavy armor towards the factories since we currently have an undefended opening

[smoky junco]

for those interested in the factories

you have one hell of a push ahead of you

[tender brook]

https://uploads.dailydot.com/2024/06/bugs-bunny-no.jpg?auto=compress&fm=pjpg

[smoky junco]

anyway

GENTLEMEN, i believe i have discovered the bots doctrine

BOT DOCTRINE HYPOTHESIS
Bot infantry march forward to keep enemy away from SPGs
SPGs hammer the enemy units
AA cover the SPGs

[sage shale]

Considering they don't dig in? Yeah prolly.

[smoky junco]

if yall can come around

[median sail]

Come again?

[smoky junco]

and the reserves plug the gap

[distant olive]

:(

[smoky junco]

we can out flank the SPGs

[tender brook]

They do dig in, they just were on the move as we got here.

[smoky junco]

and ELIMINATE THEM!

[tender brook]

3519 would be the closest spot out of range of them. We can do it in a turn, but is that what you want?

[sage shale]

According to one of the mid rounds, the bot inf in fact do not ordinarily do such, if we witness it, well, prolly not normal inf bot units. Imagine comando droids from star wars

[median sail]

Do we have a logi truck that can reload my fuel tanks?

[sage shale]

I forget which bg, but someone came across "dug in" bots but they weren't using the cover they built and didn't actually use the dig in feature. For whatever reason.

[smoky junco]

big rig you might be up

[tender brook]

I am currently being asked by my arty dismounts to remount them and relocate out of enemy arty range.

[smoky junco]

you can do both lol

[tender brook]

I also do not have any supplies right now.

[smoky junco]

ah thats a issue

[tender brook]

We max loaded our logis with troops

[smoky junco]

anyway can someone go and make sure Xswords crew survived

[signal mulch]

Venator bad news

Crew don’t bail out

[sage shale]

None close, the one to the north might be close idk. But I do believe none of our logi trucks have SS rn.

[smoky junco]

YOU CANT STOP US FROM HOPING!

[signal mulch]

We checked with T13C

[smoky junco]

also due to a upgrade i have my crew do bail

[signal mulch]

We didn’t get any response

[smoky junco]

small arms

[signal mulch]

So either Shack missed that action or is ignoring ‘em

[smoky junco]

wait no i dont auto bail

but i can leave me tank via dismount

[signal mulch]

Yeah nobody auto bails now

That’s what I’m trying to say

[median sail]

Oh that's OK, just got to be careful with my advance then

[signal mulch]

If ya don’t state you dismount you’re gonna blow up

[distant olive]

Soo we could moce to 3617/3718 and get the medic in honey to heal the arty

[smoky junco]

but if i do dismount i count as infantry

[signal mulch]

Yes

3FS of inf though

[smoky junco]

better than being dead

or in a 1 hit tank

best to bail and run till it can be repaired

[tender brook]

Like, we can get there if I rush, but you will have barely anything in range anymore.

[sage shale]

Our arty are just in a rough sitch, with enemy arty outranging them, supply issues, and little options for moving or fixing them

[smoky junco]

we just need to get our arty out of there

reposition

and bring em back when its safe

[smoky junco]

hmmm

[sage shale]

Also LVs can carry SS too, and we do have one of those

[smoky junco]

i dont want to make assumptions

but that long range may come at the cost of a longer min range

so 2 hex away MIGHT be safe

they shot 3 hex away

[distant olive]

Thing is they are not dug in or are doin evasive so arty really doesnt help right?

[smoky junco]

not 2 at the tanks

[distant olive]

We can only direct damage the big arty guns and they just kill us

[sage shale]

I mean, the big stuff can be struck as if it's an orbital by arty so it kinda does matter

[distant olive]

Yeah but if i stay in range of the big arty i just die

[quasi scarab]

i... I expected worse tbh

[sage shale]

There's always other targets I guess, sure not a lot of dmg but still. The convoy would be an excellent target for arty.

[distant olive]

Yes and we can get that from 3617

Get chariot to transfer SS to big rig and slowly move up

[signal coyote]

Sword's dead?

[cunning ermine]

Can someone tag Stan?

their listed discord UN isn't coming up for me

We've got a flight deck available for you if you want repairs

[signal coyote]

I'm surprising not dead?

[smoky junco]

MBTs can take a bit

[dusty nimbus]

i dont think anything was even in range of you lol

[signal coyote]

I just didn't have faith in my luck tbh

[tender brook]

I can move you, but I won't have room for any supplies till I unload you again.

[dusty nimbus]

i guess top priority is taking out those SPGs? i'll swing behind the hill with Kodiak and Ivax to take out the southern one

[azure hull]

hello people of venator im from spearhead do you went us to comme help u guy

?

[dusty nimbus]

if possible, yes. we can handle this ourselves if needed, but help would be greatly appreciated.

it would probably save us some losses

[chilly marsh]

The Heavy Mech approaches

[dusty nimbus]

i assume that big ? is gonna be the same thing that crossroads is facing?

[azure hull]

we are voting but we will most likely comme to your aid

[signal coyote]

@slate hemlock @opaque raptor @odd cape How do you three feel about pushing together at 3920

[chilly marsh]

Hello, I'm from Atlas and helping Ixen with planning and communication (He does all the work, I just help sometimes) Please reach out to me of you need another person from Atlas to talk to

[smoky junco]

Y e s

[dusty nimbus]

are yall still planning on coming to C-Z even after that fighter massacre at L-W2?

[cunning ermine]

Ahoy there. What be the username of the owner of the gunship "STAN"?

[smoky junco]

Let me consult the sheet

[cunning ermine]

We offer him safe harbor aboard one of our sky-ships.

[chilly marsh]

Yes, Victorum hasn't reached out to us for assistance and strategically, killing the gunship factories will help more people over all

[dusty nimbus]

do as you will, but if I were you I would stay as far away from that wall of infantry as possible. best move is to hold, in my opinion.

[cunning ermine]

plus, our 4 Fighters aren't gonna help much, they can do a lot more against the gunships

[distant olive]

In my eyes the only way for my survival but you can make your own decisions

[signal coyote]

Figured as much. Just wanted second opinions on our odds

[opaque raptor]

I think we should help and push from the south towards the northern line of arty, to get rid of it, and on the way deal with some factories

[smoky junco]

I Think It’s The_flying_overord

[slate hemlock]

I don't think so , we have an INF blob in front of us. Also why should we move towards them if we have targets to shoot?

[smoky junco]

If I have my way, no one else dies

We will all go home to the lamentations of the women

So come on ye filthy land lubbers, WHO WANTS TO DEFY DAVY JONES LOCKER!

[signal coyote]

No shorties for Domsil ig

[slate hemlock]

Also It's midnight here so I will go to sleep, just please ping me in the tactical discussion, and tomorrow I will read it all

[chilly marsh]

Currently we believe the air convoy moving north is heading to Crossroads. Some of them will be able to cross the border but not all. With the hord split like this we, in Atlas, believe now is the best time to strike and sandwich this air group between 212 in Crossroads and us in C-Z.

[signal coyote]

Yea I see what you mean

[cunning ermine]

@quasi star
Would you be interested in a cozy Flight deck in space for some repairs?

[tender brook]

Nah, I am in support of you (and anyone else I can help).
Just pointing out to everyone that is trying to make use of me that I can't do it all at once.

[distant olive]

What I would suggest is you can do a lot this turn 1. Save the 2 arty peaces 2. Load up on SS and 3. Get in Position for the tasks next turn

[smoky junco]

The issue we have is engaging it

We lack the ability to engage air

Bar a few missiles and a AA tank

[tender brook]

@graceful oak I think you are C/S Uber. Is there a spot you want off?

[void siren]

FYI for y'all. Storm Blessed is voting right now to see where we're going. C-Z is leading by a bunch so we're likely to join you guys next turn

[signal coyote]

@slate hemlock @opaque raptor @odd cape Upon reconsideration, what if we hold our positions and cut down the INF. From analysing the line if we make a drastic move the other groups might have their flanks exposed. Holding as a group might allow us to cull the enemy without significant dmg and protect the flanks of groups attacking strategic positions.

[dusty nimbus]

we'll try to get that AA cleared out for you

[void siren]

We're likely to go primarily south.

[distant olive]

Isn't Uber far north?

[void siren]

since the enemies there would be in range

[chilly marsh]

We can take on the air assets. We're obviously in the dark about their capabilities but our goal is their destruction

[void siren]

but that's just speculation on my end, we have to take a closer look at what we can engage this turn

[smoky junco]

True true

Give em hell

[smoky junco]

https://tenor.com/view/duck-badling-duck-walk-quack-quack-duck-take-over-gif-14583973

Y’all will likely arrive at the end of the battle and be able to help us push into the city

Or atleast the end of the middle

[tender brook]

I thought Uber was catching a ride with me this whole time 😐

[dusty nimbus]

Storm is speed 2 right? they could be here next turn

[distant olive]

Uber was in Stan if I remember right and paradroped

[smoky junco]

Oh i stand corrected

[tender brook]

The BG spreadsheet said otherwise :\

[wild gale]

Speed 5

[distant olive]

I know but the formation we got was the thing I based it on

That would me you have some SS tho 🤔

So you do have like 5 SS

[tender brook]

Well, I have space for it now.

[distant olive]

And you "started" with it since you didnt carry Uber

[signal coyote]

Are Artillery a big threat to MBTs?

[distant olive]

and Stan didnt get the SS

Its just swaped

[tender brook]

It would have to be declared, but sure if everyone is cool with the retcon.

[dusty nimbus]

assuming its the same stats as our self propelled arty, not really. it has D4 damage with no AP

[jade parcel]

not really--they mostly hit orbitals for d6, force infantry out of trenches, or eat your defense bonuses

oh spg's oops

[distant olive]

So who needed you with SS?

[tender brook]

The SHBT

[jade parcel]

I don't think you can retcon Supply in--Logis only have two slots, and you had an artillery in both

[smoky junco]

Give me a simplified run down of what’s happened

And I’ll ask the cap

[distant olive]

oh trueee

nah its fine the sheat was missleading

since arty is a vic it filled the truck

Soo idea drive us to 3718, we drop off, chariot does a Coordinated Supply Drop and you are ready for next turn to help the SHBT

[jade parcel]

• logi can sacrifice 2 slots for 12 fs
• this allows 3 engis, so the spreadsheet had 3 unit slots
• arty takes 2 cargo slots, but someone got confused and thought it only took 2 spreadsheet slots
• this resulted in an extra spreadsheet slot being open for Uber (unit) to sign up for

[tender brook]

Wouldn't 3718 put you in range of the northern arty position?

[smoky junco]

Okay I am lost

https://tenor.com/view/zatoru-uma-musume-uma-musume-pretty-derby-cinderella-gray-uma-musume-cinderella-gray-gif-2563699202510898708

[distant olive]

Fuck true, but we moves so cant know where we end up? and the north seems to be under more preasure then the south?

[jade parcel]

basically in the process of tetrising the Arty into the truck we somehow managed to fit a 4fs squad in with no actual seating available

[tender brook]

Don't worry. We had some confusion about who I was carrying and what was going to be done because I am not actually carrying them. It is fine though, I am still at capacity so nothing needs be done.

[tender brook]

Your call mah dood.

[distant olive]

Same thing with 3617 to be safe?

Do we want to funnel the convoy away from us?

[tender brook]

What you target ain't for me to say. I am here to move troops and supplies.
I'll drop you wherever you want, just don't be surprised if you come under more fire.

[spice nymph]

My Engies in Honey-P are ready to hop out for repairs, where ever that makes sense and where ever we can get them.
It looks like there isn't currently much damage in the 3816 North Hill area though

[quasi star]

I would not be opposed, but I think these Medics want to get out.

[smoky junco]

Idd wait till next turn before repairs

[distant olive]

Ok my call would be to drop me (maybe us if echo is fine) of at 3617 and maybe get SS if you want

[smoky junco]

We don’t want you on the frontline

[dusty nimbus]

please do if possible. if we can keep that infantry off our tanks, we can just keep hitting them while staying out of their range.

[real kite]

Either I took insane damage and my medics healed me or the cannons aren’t too bad to fight

[distant olive]

Then i will funnel the last mobile transport away

[real kite]

Either way FUCKING KILL IT NOW NOW NOW!!!!!

[smoky junco]

I deed

[cunning ermine]

They can paradrop at any point during your movement, so if you've got 4 speed left when you're done with whatever you want to do, you can [3.5] ascend to High Orbit, and [0.5] land on a flight deck.

[smoky junco]

SEND THE METAL MENACE TO DAVY JONES LOCKER!

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-spongebob-squarepants-spongebob-season-6-truth-or-square-spongebob-truth-or-square-gif-14618301320258983224

[quasi star]

Roger

[dusty nimbus]

assuming they do the same damage as our SPGs, its only D4. but yeah, you need to get out of there ASAP

[distant olive]

The medics are out?

[spice nymph]

I think that makes my orders pretty easy for now then

[tender brook]

Do we have a HAT that is able to drop supply?
We can coordinate this turn to drop the supplies at start of next turn

[smoky junco]

Yeah just keep out of range of the enemy and be on standby to rush in to repair next turn

[tender brook]

Then I can drop supplies with the arty, and move to the SHBT to resupply it too.

[smoky junco]

We need to prepare for a mass repair wave to get the immobilised going

The ONLY unit I say that is worth risking a engineer time repair this turn is NSFW

since there a LM and if they still they may die

The MBTs can hold on

[cunning ermine]

we've got one coming, also, Hi Big-rig!

[smoky junco]

They should have 2 hits left

[distant olive]

I think sadly reload is a action for you and the supply drop too so i dont think in one turn

if i read this right

[smoky junco]

https://tenor.com/view/supply-drop-humvee-drop-gif-13892247

[sage crane]

Good game lads

The sword gambit somewhat worked

Stan is way more useful and survived

[smoky junco]

EYY he shows up

DW we will try and rescue your crew

And build you a new HAT

with the factories

[sage crane]

Sorry was out wiyh friends for 3 hours xD

First death in Venator

[distant olive]

@unkempt matrix would you be down to dismount from honey and heal arty at 3617?

[distant olive]

Yeah but you have only 1 per turn?

[glass prairie]

To Stanz: u should be able to survive if u go orbit
or maybe if u turn 180 to the left
-# otherwise I'd be dead as well

[real kite]

I think I want to dig in. Can’t run from those guns fast enough

[smoky junco]

So was I earlier lol

Anyway we have canva set up

Ready to go

[tender brook]

So sharing supplies takes 0.5 speed per, but calling in the HAT for a supply drop is free, but only once per round (and can't be done in same round as other primary actions)

[smoky junco]

Sword, You want access to the canva?

[distant olive]

ahh

[distant olive]

Soo i am a bitt to to understand supply action rules rn but moving to 3617 would be cool with you? (last question before bed time)

[tender brook]

Atleast, that is my understanding

[spice nymph]

I don't think we can drop me off close enough for a next turn repair on NSFW, if it would even be worth taking Honey-P all the way down there.
Kettles or Blind would probably be better options, since they should already be in the area with kodiak or dragon

[tender brook]

Sure.

[little egret]

We need the super heavy tank

[smoky junco]

Well at the end of the day it’s your call

But I would suggest caution

[little egret]

I'm going to stick close to it and its comrades for repairs

[spice nymph]

I'm mostly spelling out more reason I agree with you on not trying to get down for repairs this turn

[smoky junco]

Keep 2 hex behind it and prey is all ima say lol

[median sail]

Yes?

[smoky junco]

Anyway

We need to keep the momentum going

Hit those guns

And take the factory

And someone please obliterate that other gunship being built

[little egret]

@median sail Im just saying that im sticking with you and your tank friends

[median sail]

I'm sadly not in range of the factory this round so I'll shoot the undamaged transport

[smoky junco]

Aye, that seems to be the best move

[median sail]

The emoble one can be someone else's job

[smoky junco]

Right then, first order is through

[signal coyote]

I'm waiting on the other MBTs in 3819 to respond before I send one in

[sage crane]

Oh you were in range aswell?

Saved 2 then

[smoky junco]

hey rig

how many speed you got

[spice nymph]

And second. This was pretty set already, with nothing nearby that I can repair having being damaged yet.

[unkempt matrix]

Sure, will look at the map when I get home to organize the healing

[signal coyote]

U guys think friendlies are in the zone?

[glass prairie]

nop, was referring to Elim Drop where i went down to 1 Hit due to enemy fire. attacks seem to go after ur movement most of the time so u should be good if u get out of range as soon as possible

tho do note that I was landed and under inf fire, but u might be good if u go orbit immedietally, or maybe if u try flying out of AA range

[spice nymph]

Given the ? movements, I doubt it.

[sage crane]

Ahh I see

[sage crane]

Nope

[smoky junco]

right @tender brook what is your rush speed

also this is the right coord right?

[tender brook]

I am 3 normally, so with rush should be 6 speed.

[tender brook]

Correct. 3617.

[smoky junco]

aight then you can do it

[sage crane]

I'll pass thanks

[smoky junco]

aight

[sage crane]

I'll still help with orders and the like but i'll be on the backline for now

the whole pre getting to the fight burnt me out

[smoky junco]

alrighty chaps, since canva can do this, you can ask what font you want your unit to be in on the tac map

these fonts are just for example

[void siren]

This is the area we can deploy infantry to. Orange is max range, they can move .5 on from there. Where do you guys think you need the most help? We also have some engineers/medics if you need those

[dusty nimbus]

the north is in a long-range duel right now. the south/center is getting hit hardest

some help stopping the giant infantry column would be appreciated

[sage crane]

Even just spreading out targets so the SPGs let our tanks keep rolling would be great

[little egret]

okay looking at the map what would be better me sticking nearish to dawnbringer or should i try to rush down to Moody/NSFW to repair them?

[craggy peak]

For the north I propose a push up their mountain to 4015, with the ODTs incoming we might have a chance to get a lot of damage in.
Thoughts?

[dusty nimbus]

why not just keep picking their infantry off from range?

[smoky junco]

Be advised I’m about to sleep lol

[green flume]

Yeah I wonder if it might be better for a more slow advance and holding the line till our reinforcements actually hit the ground. We don’t want to risk getting wiped on a push and leaving the ODTs without an affective anvil to hammer against

[cunning ermine]

We'll turn that hill into a sandwich together

[smoky junco]

Also if you want a specific font for your unit on the map, put it in brackets at the bottom of your order

Otherwise I will grab the funniest font I can for you

[quasi scarab]

Does any vehicle needs a quick extraction this turn
ideally dont be in range of an AA gun tho.

[hidden oyster]

I mean, I’d raise my hand, but I’m having a few issues of my own.

[obtuse fossil]

https://tenor.com/view/jfk-clone-high-i-like-your-funny-words-magic-man-jack-black-gif-18659433

[quasi scarab]

i can pick you up if need be

[hidden oyster]

I’m immobilized and actively in combat.

[obtuse fossil]

I'm good as tip of the spear really expected some damage but I'm fine surprisingly

[little egret]

Qestion for the Taccom if i were to rush to from 3818 could i get to 3720 and be in range to repair moody or nsfw

[hidden oyster]

Oh, don’t worry. I’m not planning on moving this round or the next few. I’m actually planning to murder everything I can on the road.

[little egret]

didnt you take a lot of damage?

or can you be immobile without damage?

[hidden oyster]

I think I only took one hit.

I’d be more concerned about the mech next to me.

[quasi scarab]

If the other move foward for some reason and you,re not at risk of getting me AA'd I could give a hand if things get more heated.

[hidden oyster]

Well, there’s other units that need a lot more help than I do, I think.

[quasi scarab]

whomst?

[hidden oyster]

Uh, someone, probably.

If I really need to, I can just abandon ship.

[obtuse fossil]

NSFW needs repair urgently as without movement they lost evasive and only have one health

[quasi scarab]

shit okay... how close are they to AA guns?

[little egret]

An engineer can only do 1 repair per turn right?

[quasi scarab]

I could swoop in and pick it up if need be.

[obtuse fossil]

they are in the south wall and two and a half tiles from the nearest AA gun not sure the range on them

[little egret]

your dragon right?

[obtuse fossil]

3721

[sage crane]

RP order up

[quasi scarab]

you're asking that to who?

[little egret]

mako sorry

[obtuse fossil]

Looking at the map KODAK and IVAX could out flank the bots and start hitting the big gun down south get it to stop firing

[wintry sapphire]

Hey any engi’s biulding anything this turn? Or we all just killing stuff

[little egret]

tbh im more likely going to try to lunge south to be able to repair stuff

[wintry sapphire]

Ok

[quasi scarab]

I can transport things north if the enemy is too close to your comfort bober.

[tame bane]

holy shit just looked at the map

Domusil went in and got cooked instantly

[little egret]

its not a matter of comfort

its me asking if its worth it

And looking at what i can do

[smoky junco]

You can’t repair if you rush

Also moody can repair there own track

But not hits

[little egret]

so i can move normally and take an action right?

(first time im doing anything other than moving)

[void siren]

What's y'alls vibe next turn? More moving forward or more 'retreating' to a more solid line? We're debating our moves

[tame bane]

I'm retreating but i'm a HAT

[little egret]

looking for places we can hold I hope

[tame bane]

Do any logi trucks need supplies airdropped to them?

[obtuse fossil]

To do that they have to get out and lose armor

[little egret]

I think we just fort up where we are and look to kill stuff

[void siren]

We're thinking of deploying into this rough area

This turn we can use protection since we can't dig in.

But the turn after we can dig in and y'all can fall back behind us if damaged

[covert compass]

I can rush order to 3718, right?

From 3519

[sage crane]

I think it'd be better to be slightly further back

Because the smart thing to do right now is back up out the infantrys ramge and keep shelling

[little egret]

agreed

[void siren]

if you guys are on board with that we can do it

[little egret]

drop in 3719 3720 3620

use us as a shield that first round then move up and dig in

my 2 cents

your entirely infantry use us as a shield

[covert compass]

Or would I be more useful going to 3720

Altough, going there seems suicidal as it'd cause me to get targeted by all the infantry in 3821

[little egret]

arty is the only thing moving right now

[void siren]

This is their projected range next turn (just that infantry column).

You should move outside of that, we'll deploy around it

[median sail]

would i be able to get a reload on my fuel tanks when you come past?

[wicked cedar]

Fairlie again, Chief Science Officer of Atlas. I updated our scan map
Now waiting for the other scanner guy to pick their target and the communications intercept person to choose wich one they want to comms-int.
I will most likely do the orange circle (4), so we see whats that huge thing.
If you have some comments on that, please tell me.

[tender brook]

No supplies right now, sorry.
Will try to get some next turn, and drop them with my arty and you.

[wintry sapphire]

I’m targeting the mech at 4020, moving up a hex to get in range

[jade parcel]

@little egret @spice nymph Do you guys mind hopping out and helping BBertha and the hill infantry dig in/trench up? I'd like the seats open to coordinate a Supply paradrop from @quasi star so I can reload people on the hill this/next turn.

[little egret]

Already hopped out

Im with dawnbringer

[tame bane]

I can fly over your end point and airdrop supplies for you @tender brook

How does airdropping work, do you need to have a free action this turn, or is it based on my action?

[void siren]

Red is AA area, Blue is our likely deployment area

[little egret]

Looks good

[quasi scarab]

shite, I cant reach NSFW without risking getting shot out of the sky. i cant help move them closer to you engis.

[wild gale]

so venator any stealth things you want me to do

[quasi scarab]

kill kill kill?

[tame bane]

looks like it takes a primary action for the logi truck side of things, I'll fly to the far side of friendly space this turn, and next turn I can fly over bigrig and resupply him, that sound good for you @tender brook ?

[sage crane]

Not a chance

Just insta death

Unless HVTOLs have armour

[quasi scarab]

i dont think I have any and I aint risking it

[tame bane]

you would know about that wouldn't you

[void siren]

Figure I'll post it here too.
Red is enemy AA
Orange is their infantry's projected position
Green is their anticipated engagement range.

Happy Planning!

[tender brook]

Good by me. My intent is to drop my arty off in 3617, next turn use the airdrop action, and then immediately start sharing the wealth with the arty and SHBT.

[tame bane]

Here's what Im thinking for my movement, getting the F outta dodge

[tame bane]

So long as no fighters approach or anything gets too close, I can stick around above you and just keep pumping you with supplies, I've got 5x5, you can fit 10 a turn I believe

[tender brook]

The airdrop action says up to max carry capacity, so yeah, 10 per turn.

I'll try to spread it around ASAP, then come back for more.

[tame bane]

tmw your the only logi truck in the entire battle group from what i can see, and for some reason we had half our HATs carrying SS

[jade parcel]

...you're flying over me (the other logi) my guy

[tame bane]

OH

I

I'm so fucking blind

[jade parcel]

If STAN's player doesn't get back to me on dropping an SS crate I might ask you once another one of my passengers hops out

since you're flying over anyway

[tame bane]

Sure

[wary sundial]

Chello
sorry for the ping but you and feather are the ones affected by it, would you like me (arty) to funnel the infantry outside of the factory into the factory or do you not care for that?

[sage crane]

D:

Meanie

[sage shale]

My point exactly, we are short on anti air, and after the losses at LW, we can't risk them increasing their flying numbers, if that factory can make heavy gunships, I bet it can make space faring craft too, fighters maybe? It's best if we don't find out. Thus why I'm tryna collab with our foot soldiers and transports to neutralize the factories.

[sage crane]

@tame bane “just some hired pirates I think” you’re fantastic

[red minnow]

Remember to put in any medical:repair requests in the Logi Hub

Let other BG/TFs see what they can help with

[quasi scarab]

i'll wait to give my order just to see if anyone would like and extraction and I can do it relatively safely (no AA guns)

[sage shale]

Kettles is at spawn rn, so prolly not them

[sage shale]

Still coordinating but so far, our inf are gonna push at least on the north if not towards the factories in the middle, might need some medics to keep engis up, but what little inf we have is concentrated middle-north atm, not fully sure if they will all stay in that area but highly probable since some are dismounted and the rest are pushing center, I think

[sage shale]

Beware enemy arty is confirmed range 3, aa range not fully calibrated but 2 does seem accurate.

[tame bane]

I saw you talking about changing their name to "Hired pirates" for the garden, and i was like, "Thats fucking hilarious im gonna mention that"

[sage shale]

@real kite what is ur overall plan, staying north and just supporting the armor, or just tryna survive the incoming fire til it's safe to move south with us to the factories (once we form a squad to push next turn, we can't do it this turn obvy), or some other scheme you got going?

[compact minnow]

Ok, so we got ODTs dropping in behind the arty, right?

I just wanna get thing sorted out now that I'm home from work

What's the sitrep for the Northern Forces?

[real kite]

A mix of both. The current plan is don't die, but after it's safe, I'm running into a factory

[compact minnow]

Guess I'm ballin'

[real kite]

In the north we're a little outnumbered currently but the artillery can hurt those big guns pretty good, so letting them and the tanks get to work seems good to me

[sage shale]

Perhaps Ward could move up to support you, then pick you up to safely and quickly ferry you south? Assuming you survive ofc.

[real kite]

at that point I'm leaving Uber to die

can't do that

I'm digging in

[sage shale]

Not rn, next turn, presumably the arty will be down by then

Besides I doubt having an extra vehicle will hurt, maybe draw some of the fire away from you

[real kite]

If they got in front of me to absorb the blows, that would do wonders for my survival chances

[compact minnow]

I guess Adler is part of my mech's paintjob now

[compact minnow]

Btw Ansen and Raid, when I said "we're going in", I meant we as in the crew of MAGPIE, not we as in the 3 mechs. That said, you're more than welcome to come along

[compact minnow]

We'll do what we can to try and get that Artillery to stop pasting your boys

[rancid orbit]

Let's ball

[upper harbor]

Can we get Stan to pull back?

I just realised punchy 1 isnt even on the tacmap

[compact minnow]

Oh yeah

Weird

[upper harbor]

Cap deleted the one pulling a massive flank

[dusty nimbus]

I guess your stealth systems are just that good

[upper harbor]

@smoky junco @supple beacon can ya help bring up the missing Punchy-1 to cap?

[real kite]

“PRIVATE GET OFF OF THAT MECH AND TAKE THIS MORPHINE! LOCK THE FUCK IN SOLDIER!”

#1382037860277948486 message

[crude bluff]

Hello Venator, I am trying to work thru a fighter plan to best help support you all, but I have an option that is probably better for you all to choose:

Our 4 fighters could intercept 4 gunships, with the best outcome dealing 1 hit to each ship ( we are assuming they have 2 each). The intercept rules forces aeroscpace units (which gunships should count as ) to target the fighter, and if they are unable to target the fighter, they cant fire. This would effectively delay 4 gunships from shooting next turn. We expect the gunships to have at least 1 armor.

Alternatively, we could focus fire into 1-2 gunships, and try and reduce their number permanently before rearming. Theres a good chance we will only kill 1 and damage another.

We would target the 4 marked blue, or 2 of the ones marked blue. Let me know if any of you have any thoughts on this.

[mental comet]

Hello Venator, based on [preliminary poll votes](#1382048208192274462 message) looks like we’ll be riding in to help out

We are working on a four step program, if you have any specific requests or strategies feel free to pop over.

Main combat assets:

• 2 mech lances (7 LM, 1 heavy mech)
• 1 AA tank
• 5 IFVs+Inf
• 3 medics+LV Ambulances
• 1 HAT loaded with Inf

(we also have some other units, but for example doubt one vtol is going to be particularly relevant when all of stormblessed is coming in)

[severe crane]

that poor HAT sent out to their deaths

[cunning ermine]

Revised drop plan, we can gang up on the South Hill and collapse their flank.

[marble echo]

Quick question for my order
Where are our medics i have wrdn in the back and could fly them down to our arty that's been hit. But I'm also right next to some of our inf that got hit

[real kite]

this just in: Adler's Morale Creature

(it's going to get blown up)

@tranquil saddle I hate to say this but can you kindly walk up to my boys and stand next to them to absorb damage please

we probably won't die

and there will be medics right next to you

👍 👍 👍

[odd cape]

With the full map out are us 4 in agreement to hold and focus down the bits coming through 3920?

[little egret]

@jade parcel I dismounted last turn and have orders in

[jade parcel]

Oh right, I'll need to repost to fix that >_<

I remember giving your first notice a salute emoji even, must've slipped my mind when I was writing the first order version

[signal coyote]

I agree

[wintry sapphire]

I’ll be joining you all, plan to hit the mech behind those infantry

Or Walker, whatever we call the big things

[signal coyote]

Baller

[wintry sapphire]

The line shall hold

[signal coyote]

Venator cannot break

[wintry sapphire]

We do allow for factor of safety however, we are professionals

[smoky junco]

I know, which is why it isn’t safe yet

[odd cape]

Sounds good.

[odd cape]

Glad to have you joining us.

[wintry sapphire]

Always a pleasure to rail down lead on them clankers

[odd cape]

At least we got the forward AA emplacement down and some of their front bot units

[signal coyote]

Is there a unit key for the map?

I kinda can't tell some units apart

[odd cape]

Enemy units?

[signal coyote]

Ye

[odd cape]

Um let me circle some stuff from the maps I've downloaded.

[signal coyote]

Also instinct tells me if we take too long they make armor from the factory

[signal coyote]

Thx man

Hopefully the arty can't oneshot us

[odd cape]

I think they have a min range

Not 100%

[signal coyote]

If so the only remaining potential threats would be the convoy having AT guns

It would make sense since it attack the other Artillery instead of the 4 tanks threatening it with a push

I know there are 3 Inf squads but we have a lot of firepower

Expecting reinforcements to arrive to that front

[odd cape]

Yea. I think once the bot inf has been thinned and enamors section takes the hill we can sweep north and engage that convoy if the center with dawn doesn't take it out first.

It looks like theres more units in that convoy behind them just out of our sensor range.

[signal coyote]

Swinging south looks like a less favourable but viable option

A flank could lock the south down but going north might mean we can shut down the INF in the convoy

[odd cape]

Enamors group once repaired and those bots are thinned should be able to take the hill since we're tying up that column of inf

[signal coyote]

Makes sense

[odd cape]

I mean if us 4 are good with holding till the hills taken then we can swing north and focus down that convoy.

[signal coyote]

What are our repair options?

In the case of grand misfortune

[odd cape]

Engis are close by and if needed and the AA is taken down I think mako can lift us to the back line for full repairs

[hybrid imp]

So are both the mechs near the arty AA mechs along with the remaining few on the right side of the factory?

[median sail]

It doesn't really effect me, I'm going to shoot the full hp transport on the road

[signal coyote]

STRONG AURA

[median sail]

Debating if I move up or not but I'll probably organize with the other 2 tanks near me

[hybrid imp]

For some damn reason I am considering to move forward one space to shoot at one of the damn Arty could not go as planned. Lot of bot infantry in 4016.

[marble echo]

@unkempt matrix @graceful oak

I have @ebon jacinth our third medical unit in the back. Where are you two going / setting up? I could reach our injured arty crews

[smoky junco]

time to start processing orders

[obtuse fossil]

quick question can tanks run over infantry

[upper harbor]

Punchy is already down south there, moving into 3923 next turn to start firing on the guns

btw @smoky junco Did you bring up my message to the cap

[obtuse fossil]

Im already a bit forward and am tossing up between pushing forward to cannon the big gun and or backing up to start thining the infantry advance

I looked at the map more and there are alot of forces coming to hit the centre I'll be there

[smoky junco]

no

forward me it and ill send it in tac coms

[upper harbor]

it's literally just that Punchy 1 isnt even on the tacmap

[smoky junco]

aaaand i am back to being confused

[upper harbor]

Behold, i have invented stealth mech

[smoky junco]

OH

[upper harbor]

The bots wont see me coming

[smoky junco]

riiiight let me put a note on the tac map lol

because this is very funny

waaait aminute i have a idea

stealth light mech

[upper harbor]

I WISH i had stealth

Silenced HMG

[smoky junco]

i might replace your image on the map with THIS

top down of cource

[smoky junco]

EXCELENET

what you armed with again?

[upper harbor]

Just a light laser

it's the stock light mech

I'm most likely gonna get blanketed with fire cause i am firing point blank at the turret

i'm still out of range of the infantry, so it's all gucchi

i wonder if those big guns have a minimum range

[smoky junco]

i suspect range 2 min

fixed*

[upper harbor]

I'm moving to 3923 this turn to fire upon the guns. here's to hoping i dont get shot XD

time to pew pew

[smoky junco]

AYE

[upper harbor]

literally a single mech trying to save the southern flank

[smoky junco]

your a madman punchy

[upper harbor]

i mean, literally the first turn we landed, i did a solo flank.

2nd turn we landed, i'm still doing my solo flank but now against half the bot army

[unkempt matrix]

https://tenor.com/view/good-luck-good-luck-gif-20034388

but yeah, like a true battletech player, light mechs are madmen @smoky junco

https://tenor.com/view/kitfox-mech-battletech-mechwarrior-mechwarrior-4-gif-17783000140837505792

more specificuly the 4/6 assaults

and maybe a 5/8 if i feel mad

[upper harbor]

I tend to use infantry cause i hate my enemies

[smoky junco]

i like BA with flamers

also dinosaur cavalry

im at Uber for orders RN

[unkempt matrix]

If you got the southern arty crews and Uber has Adler then I'll either move with S.A.N.D or the northern arty crew

[upper harbor]

@smoky junco i dont suppose i can focus fire on the AA gun right? Since iirc that isnt something you can do

[smoky junco]

ill put a line for it

if shack repsects it is the question

[upper harbor]

aight

[unkempt matrix]

@tranquil saddle Where do you plan to move? Might be following you in or sticking with the arty crew depending on your movement

[upper harbor]

since if the AA gun is down, it frees up atlas to deploy another taskforce down south

[smoky junco]

map so far

[tranquil saddle]

NO GO YOUR GONNA GET BLOWN UP LIKE A GOOD BOY. Yeah I can 👍 don't worry what hex your in

[upper harbor]

I moved in from 3723, not off map

[slate hemlock]

question if I want to adjust my facing (to face the inf) can I use Order HOLD or do I need to use ADVANCE?

[smoky junco]

i know

[upper harbor]

[smoky junco]

i made a note of that

your not in the map at all for some reason

[upper harbor]

my ECM kicked in. it affected Shack's scanners

nvm, better to keep my heading towards the APCS

ive had to put more effort into this than any other unit lol

[tranquil saddle]

I have a theory

A VENATOR THEORY

we may or may not be dealing with 4 gunship

[signal mulch]

Basically that massive signature will be in range of you (and as such you of it) next turn

With next I mean the turn we’re planning for

will this link be static for new rounds, or will we generaten a new one each time (we could pin this link)

[distant olive]

@smoky junco ?

[smoky junco]

we can come to that when we come to that

but i might put the new map on the same sheet

or copy the old one into a new canva

so we can use the same sheet

[distant olive]

So all orders that were submitted (and are valid) are now in the sheet with the PROCESSED Tag

[slate hemlock]

@tranquil saddle, be like

[distant olive]

If i read this right (i know you havent submitted yet) you want to stay in 3720?

[marble echo]

@strong shoal pls advisde do yo intend to move or not? I have an medic in the back and would like to dump them on you ^^

[quasi scarab]

when are orders due again?

[distant olive]

Should be <t:1752357600:f>

[quasi scarab]

shite alright
hmmm whatdoIdo?

[marble echo]

@ebon jacinth and @strong shoal i have put in my flight plan (order) if you move pls ping me so i can adjust it

[ebon jacinth]

Aye aye, going to give a look

Looks good to me. How do I phrase my order to disembark from Feather?

[distant olive]

Just say "Disembark at XXXX"

under the action thing

[ebon jacinth]

The order type would be Holding into the hex or Advancing out of Feather?

Can medics heal Artillery crews^

[supple beacon]

I think so?

[ebon jacinth]

'Cause the Crew unit is spawned only if they ditch the gun, right?

But on the other hand I see that some of the models are blackened out

[distant olive]

Yeah the should be able since it is FS

[distant olive]

If you stay in the same hex as the dismount (like no movement) hold otherwise advance

[ebon jacinth]

Thank you ^^

[strong shoal]

Yeah

[strong shoal]

That would be great atleast I know I won't die by shooting on the hill art piece

[strong shoal]

I won't move if I have the medic support I will stay in 3720

[marble echo]

Then we will be landing next to you

One express delivery of medics coming up xD

[strong shoal]

Lmao ty very much

[ebon jacinth]

Does anyone know if I can pick my Heal target the same turn I disembark?
Also, does 1 roll of the d6 Heal consume 1 Healing Supply or does it consume as much Healing Supply as the die results?

'Cause shit just ain't on the unit card xD

[strong shoal]

To be honest I only remember my shit from the rule book I need it to re read it to renew my memory

[ebon jacinth]

'Cause, the "Player Intentions Phase" section says that the only limit to how many actions a unit can take is a function of their movement ||aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh|| and the Medic's unit card says that Healing is an Action (Primary, too, Idk what that means), so technically yes?

[upper harbor]

I just thought of something stupid. A battleship with every CS replaced with an autocannon, and every single one faces only one side with a fixed mount

BROADSIDE THEM YE SCALLYWAGS

[ebon jacinth]

Set that ship perpendicular to the heading and you have perfect cover

[covert compass]

[ebon jacinth]

Ah, that movie

Absolute bananery, but lovely bananery

[slate hemlock]

https://tenor.com/view/sniper-monkey-funny-monke-funny-kill-gif-20219406

[upper harbor]

Btw, how many slots does a battleship have again?

[covert compass]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[median sail]

I was just going to shoot it as I should be able to kill it before it unloads but if you need targets then fire support on the Infantry column would be handy for the others

[smoky junco]

Ey butter

you got a image i can use for dawn?

[smoky junco]

https://tenor.com/view/pirate-piracy-you-are-a-pirate-lazytown-robbie-rotten-gif-15160380677926524721

Now your tallking my langauge

[median sail]

@supple beacon do you want to finish the imibole bot transport in front of us?

@smoky junco what are you thinking of doing this turn?

[smoky junco]

hitting that damned gunship at the factory

and then cool aid manning into the factory next turn

[tranquil saddle]

Like a true pirate

Anyways elextro

You should have a blunderbuss as your main cannon

[smoky junco]

@median sail need PNG for dawn

[median sail]

Do you want me to get a top down of dawn's actual model or should I cut out the top down T 28 I found? Wasn't sure if shack was using 40k models cause copyright

[smoky junco]

eh i dont mind

whatever ye want mate

though idd prefer the banesword lol

[median sail]

Late night photo booth construction begins lol

Given I ran my shoulder into my door frame I'm going to get the photo tomorrow

[smoky junco]

ooof

[tranquil saddle]

I'm gonna piss on the gunship

Absolute cine

But

you should have said your gonna piss on the Alden gate

Go higher

[smoky junco]

if i did that we would loose the fed fleet coming in

and annoy the feds

so erm

I CANT PISS ON IT YET

[tranquil saddle]

NOOOOO

FUCKG

FUCK IT

PISS I. TKRA

ON TORA

[craggy peak]

I'll risk it... Don't want the PAI and Magpie to be the only things getting shot at. Might be stupid, but hey...

[smoky junco]

these bots have no idea whats coming

hopefully i can take out that gunship

those two pilots taking a break has started something

and i intend to see it to the end

[tranquil saddle]

In my humble opinion we should all piss collective like on the big "fuck you" column that' approaches

[smoky junco]

WHY ARE WE THE ONE BG TO TAKE THE MECH PILOTS PISSING AND RUN WITH TI?

[tranquil saddle]

Cause we are mentally stable individuals

[smoky junco]

true true

[upper harbor]

Wait.... isnt Atlas dropping troops in the south, not the north?

[craggy peak]

no risk, no fun, eh?

[smoky junco]

either at this point lol

OR BOTH

[tranquil saddle]

Time for wizardry

[upper harbor]

We are also the one BG to grab half of all tanks fielded by armco and thought "let's just send them all in"

[craggy peak]

I heard ODTs north and landing troops south... i'll ask my son, he's in ATLAS

[smoky junco]

i mean thats the point of a tank

[upper harbor]

A tank yes. Bur not 16 tanks eithout air cover

[smoky junco]

WE ARE THE AIR COVER

[upper harbor]

Also we are getting 4 tanks from spearhead

[smoky junco]

GENTLEMEN

WE SHOULD HAVE COUPULA MGS

or ,ake a tank fly IDK

[upper harbor]

This battleground will see 20-24 out of ARMCO's 36 MBTs

And probably like 1/3 of all its infantry

[smoky junco]

and then we hit ziyal

[dusty nimbus]

Punchy-1, I'll be moving up with you and Ivax for some armored support. I assume Kodiak will too.

Should be plenty of firepower to take out those guns.

[craggy peak]

ATLAS drops SOUTH only, no drop Troops in the north.
GORGON you're the man! Massive THANKS for sticking with my crazy ass idea

[smoky junco]

your doing a crazy idea

but im making a play for the factories

it will be mine

THE FACTORY WILL BE MINE

MY PIRATE ROBOT ARMY WILL BE GLORIOUS

[craggy peak]

yeah, can't beat you in the crazy department

[smoky junco]

your close lol

[craggy peak]

oh, by the way, I want Runes for my Unit name!

[smoky junco]

eh

i cant get runes

like whats the font

[craggy peak]

or something norse

[craggy peak]

and dont forget the last DOT

[smoky junco]

I See

I’ll do that later

BTW @upper harbor cap seems fine with it all

Both with the image swap and your move

[mellow briar]

I thinking about staying put and waiting on enemy air to get in range. Can't check the map but I should be near the center of the formation right now right?

[dusty nimbus]

Yep, you're in a good spot for AA.

[upper harbor]

O7

[edgy pecan]

Looks like that IFV push isn't happening, I'll come and provide fire support at 3816 and pick up one of the infantry next turn to move south

[supple beacon]

Yeah i think we should deal with them before they can unload more bots.

[rancid orbit]

order's in

[sage crane]

Was about to start pinging people for orders but remembered it’s a weekend round

[rancid orbit]

ig you could?

[sage crane]

Not much point, people have another day

Easier to just let them get to it

[graceful oak]

3816 with Adler

[hidden oyster]

Oh, how?

[sage crane]

They get out and do it themselves

[hidden oyster]

Sorry, like, the order, I guess.

[sage crane]

I’ll check the rules

I suppose it would be “disembark and repair”?

I’m not sure on the rules or taking damage however

If they get shot they don’t get the benefit of armour, but it doesn’t specify if the crew takes damage or the tank does

Or the mechanical effects of the crew being somewhat lost

[azure hull]

hello again im the logi in spearhead if one of the arty at 3720 need towing ill be on stand by if needed

[sage crane]

Oh you guys are coming over this roundv

[azure hull]

yea

[sage crane]

What are you doing with the LS?

[azure hull]

the current LS we have are pickup by storm to bring to atlas

we will go back after for the rest probably

[sage crane]

Nice

Good to see we’re getting backup, it seems like it’ll be a tougher fight than crossroads is

[hidden oyster]

Welp, hopefully that’s something I can do.

[supple beacon]

Got some orders done, feels good to be out of bed XD

and not sick

[compact minnow]

@manic spade you receive a ping from the battlenet. If you open it, you can see that Magpie has sent you a gif of her avatar dressed up like a fantasy princess (the kind with those cone hats) waving a hankerchief. The text at the bottom of the image has text that reads "Kill them all, O brave knight in shining armor :D"

I'd draw it, but I'm out watching an airshow rn

[supple beacon]

Indeed, glad that spearhead decided to come and help us.

[rancid orbit]

lemme see sirshow :3

[compact minnow]

Just a C-130 and 2 UH-60s rn

[rancid orbit]

aw alright then

[compact minnow]

None of them are close enough for good pics

Until now

[hidden oyster]

Ok, it’s called Repair Subsystems.

[compact minnow]

Refueling demo

[cunning ermine]

Look good to you?
Venator is Brown

[muted quail]

They’d just take a hit

[sage crane]

Seems silly you lose armour benefit then

[compact minnow]

RIP Dosumil

We still think of you

[muted quail]

It’s a pain to track otherwise

[sage crane]

[sage crane]

True

[muted quail]

I like to think you lose the armor since you’re staying in one place.

You can’t really preform covering fire and it’s a lot easier to shoot people when they aren’t shooting back

[compact minnow]

I spy a BUFF

Hasn't entered the box yet

Not a buff 😔

[dusty nimbus]

You sure you wanna repair right now, Moody? You could lose your whole crew if one of those infantry squads rolls a 3 and targets you

We also might still need you in the fight. You cant move, but you can still shoot

[compact minnow]

KC-135

[compact minnow]

And now, the coolest one

Would you intercept me?

[hybrid imp]

Do infantry only do damage depending on the remaining men in the unit?

Trying to weigh my options I want to hit that arty

[compact minnow]

I'd intercept me

[real kite]

"Shhh.... just let it happen"

[compact minnow]

Anyway, other than a biplane with an egotistical pilot and some F/A-18s that started early, that was the airshow

P-51 keeps hiding his cockpit

He's a little self-conscious about being a razorback instead of a bubble canopy

[muted quail]

Yes.
Infantry do 1d6 Max FS.
So if you’re at one FS you can only ever deal 1 damage.

[hybrid imp]

Right, want to limit the damage my tank can get. Thanks could not remember.

[mental comet]

Do any infantry in Venator need healing? Spearhead has medics

[foggy cape]

Hello! Incoming engineer here. I am intending to build sandbags just north of Bober, please let them know so they have a chance to use them if they wish

[upper harbor]

Y'know, i find it funny how what was assumed to be the most heavily guarded tacmap turned out to be... okay

[foggy cape]

This is the cover you are getting

[compact minnow]

MAGPIE's AI will now bully you relentlessly for hotmicing.

She canonically looks like she was drawn in MSPaint now I guess

[quasi scarab]

alright
question is
do I remain in place or move back?

[compact minnow]

Get close enough to shoot, at the very least

[azure coral]

Orders submitted

[quasi scarab]

I'd need to the the AA range on their guns before moving any closer

[true bramble]

...
RP: [landing at C-Z]
Amako to Aether/Venator; Aircav is here, hold with our line and we can get you patched up once we're fortified.

[smoky junco]

marl

the hell is this

fixed it

[quasi scarab]

actually i could move closer.

[azure coral]

Valk. You might want to fix your order. You said you are moving to 4010, which is off map

[quasi scarab]

maybe 3819... according to the map where the enemy range is projected no AA could get to me

[compact minnow]

RP Post: >:(

[quasi scarab]

but should I even bother moving closer? I onyl add 1 d2 gun and risk getting shot (not ideal)

[smoky junco]

this is why my glorious rant due to fellow pirates being killed rules supreme

[quasi scarab]

I'd like a second opinion that isnt myself wanting to shoot something tbh
