hybrid hazel
warm hazel
Armored as well
astral nymph
So they are TANKIER and have more sustain, buuut lose out in firepower as a result.
hybrid hazel
but its only 1 armour, so it only negates a loss on a 1?
warm hazel
Pretty good against VTOL guns
astral nymph
Correct. if they are attacked adn the weapon rolls a 1 (and has no AP) then they take no damage
warm hazel
No damage half the time
queen tendon
They cannot dig in
hybrid hazel
but if they take any damage they only lose 1 guy?
warm hazel
The do get cover bonus
astral nymph
They can take cover in buildings though, no?
hybrid hazel
they can
queen tendon
Also engineers repair them, no medics
warm hazel
Ayy we can resupply em back to life
astral nymph
oh engies repair them? still its decent
warm hazel
That is a lot easier
warm hazel
And with our massive supply pockets we can keep them running
hybrid hazel
PAI cannot dig in but they can benefit from cover and buildings
astral nymph
I'm confused.... so they can't dig trenches but they can make use of them???
astral nymph
got it. thats what I thought yeah...
hybrid hazel
they can't dig in, but they can benefit from cover. dig in I think only benefits the infantry squad ( and some other squads), sandbags / other structures stack on top of dig in
queen tendon
“Action: Dig In- Unit gains +2 Defense. This uses all of the unit's total movement and is the core feature of infantry. This stacks with other defense sources..”
Normally infantry can do this, PAI cannot
warm hazel
So they would need to hide behind walls or bigger units
hybrid hazel
but PAI could benefit from say sandbags or being in a building I think
astral nymph
Right... but if there is a trench that is build, they can benefit from it... right?
warm hazel
Shields too right?
queen tendon
Correct. While a normal infantry could be fit from this and cover, PAI can only benefit from the cover
Or the trench in this case
I lied
One sec let me read a trench
warm hazel
We got to dig a big hole for the arty
queen tendon
Okay so sandbags give the cover bonus. Which PAI can benefit from.
Then you upgrade the sandbags to trenches which lets them keep the dug in status and still move within it. But PAI can’t dig in so they won’t gain that status maintain thing that trenches do
astral nymph
So they treat Sandbags and Trenches as the same... basically
queen tendon
Im unsure if the trenches also give cover, feels like they should but ill check
warm hazel
Well they can't dig in but can in dig them?
As they are not taking the action but the trench provides the effect
astral nymph
thats a trench yeah... so trench+ sandbags is... +3 cover???? or is it just the +2 without taking the action, meaning PAI can get the bonus of +2.....
Interactions are weeeiiird. I'd read it as the second
that would give the PAI armor+defense of 3... wheras the infantry have 2... which I think is correct
hybrid hazel
2 cover 1 armour
queen tendon
Sandbags give +1 from cover. So I think a PAI in a trench would get the +1, but since they can’t do the dig in action they can only get that +1
hybrid hazel
sandbags now provide armour
queen tendon
astral nymph
oh okay so....
Infantry in a trench have +1 armor, +2 defense.
PAI have +2 defense +2 armor?
or just the +1 armor...
hybrid hazel
PAI would only gain the 1 armour I think?
queen tendon
“Allows units inside the trench to move and maintain dug in…”
But since they can’t gain that dig in status in the first place that part is negligible. All they care about is the +1 to their armor from the sandbag line of text
hybrid hazel
PAI have no FS. They take hits
they have FS and Hits
chilly bridge
Yes, but they take hits as damage what I meant
astral nymph
SO infantry would have +1 armor, +2 Defense
PAI would have +2 armor total (1 base +1) and no defense?
queen tendon
Correct
hybrid hazel
we digging em trenches bois and holding the mines
queen tendon
Not counting actual cover like a building or whatever
astral nymph
so PAI can never gain defense?
hybrid hazel
they can gain it from cover, they don't gain it from digging in
queen tendon
Actually cover is +1 to your armor
astral nymph
but Sandbags grant Armor.. not cover defense....???
hybrid hazel
sandbags are seperate from digging in but stack with it for infantry
astral nymph
queen tendon
“ Infantry gain +1 Armor while inside buildings or woods / forested areas if attacked from the outside of said structure”
Cover ^^
hybrid hazel
can give +1 defense to dismounting troops
hybrid hazel
“ Infantry gain +1 Armor while inside buildings or woods / forested areas if att...
oh all cover provides armour now got it
modest pagoda
queen tendon
The difference between armor and defense is strictly for armor piercing
astral nymph
o-okay... i think.... my brain hurts a little thinking about PAI not being able to fit in a trench but okay
queen tendon
Defense doesn’t give a shit, armor will be pierced
modest pagoda
Whats popping
hybrid hazel
I find it interesting how PAI shields only provide armour in melee, and I think defense or cover to those behind them, but gives them nothing at range lol
queen tendon
o-okay... i think.... my brain hurts a little thinking about PAI not being able ...
PAI can fit in the trench they just can’t take the dig in action which negates the main factor for a trench vs just a sandbag line

SO they can't be in a trench.... If they gain no benefit from it, then they can't be in it...
hybrid hazel
they just overlook the top and the sandbags provide a little bit of armour
queen tendon
They’re just too big to crouch down to “dig in” or some shit idk
astral nymph
Sure but if they gain nothing from it then they are just taking up space for infantry that can be....
brazen helm
they still get the sandbag bonus
queen tendon
They do gain the armor from the cover the trench provides still
brazen helm
no differance between sandbags and trench for pai
astral nymph
Yeah they do get +1 armor from the trench, thats true
just not the added +2 defense.
Infantry remains, goated when dug in
modest pagoda

It seems alot of others are having logistical problems oh no

Not temp
Like you can. Not telling you what to do
Just we don’t have any units that can actually use it
quaint ember

queen tendon
It requires specifically a rugged hat to utilize it. Which we have exactly 0 of
quaint ember
i think carry rig the most useful rn probavly
astral nymph
I would not RECOMMEND a temp airfield upgrade, because its primarily meant to support Rugged HATs. And that is CRAZY USEFUL! SUPER GOOD!
but we have 0 Rugged HATs in ARMCO atm
quaint ember
the more supply the better after all (lol)

yeah but carry rig tho
astral nymph
I havn't either but some did.
And specifically a single Field Engineer in the ENTIRE ARMCO... which makes them! the most valuable player on the map.
wintry swan
I don't know if that's intended or not, that only one player in all Armco can build full airfields. Hopefully there are already airfields planetside because otherwise any aero not tied to an orbital CV is going to hurt for supplies
astral nymph
I would hope that was taken into consideration when building this campaign
queen tendon
I assume it has
astral nymph
because the only way to do it would be to have an engineer who has been here since Haven and bought nothing else 😄
queen tendon
plus he can always retcon one before he reveals the maps if it’s a major issue
warm hazel
Got another buddy looking to join us who is trying to think of the best way to help with some new armor.
modest pagoda
warm hazel
Thinking MBT it seems
astral nymph
MBTs are helpful. we are lacking in that heavy armor regard a bit
warm hazel
We have plenty of space to carry our units as is right? If so MBT would rock
queen tendon
Uhhh. Not necessarily, but always play what you want
astral nymph
I did a rough count. While I have not done an EXACT count of FS to seats. I know we have at least just enough right now

What can I say I like rushing airfields. Did it on Haven and organized the Skybridge on Lussan
modest pagoda
the issue is theres no logistics to use the airfields lmao
wintry swan
Skybridge was clutch I remember rearming there
modest pagoda
Well i suppose we have two HATs
wintry swan
Hats can carry huge supply
astral nymph
Theres a lot of HATs roaming around. Just regular ones, which necessetates full Airfields is all.
modest pagoda
Ye
astral nymph
and HATs can carry SOOOO MUCH supply now lol
astral nymph
We do. The only issue is mid combat, as... ROUGH COUNT. we go in with 50 unless we want to move at speed 1 and force the infantry to walk instead of paradrop on a HAT.
modest pagoda
Thats fair
astral nymph
50 is still a lot. but it's a conceivably usable amount within a few turns.
queen tendon
I’m not worried about HATs being useless. I’m just worried about them not being able to land at the hill
lean notch
Oh boy that's a lot of VTOLs now
modest pagoda
Yee
astral nymph
We have very healthy VTOL numbers. be very good for shepherding units around and doing strafing sorties if needed
queen tendon
But I’m now imaging a world where we have our hats, VTOLs, and logo trucks all go down to an airfield and resupply. Then we come back, drop the supplies off. Once the trucks supplies are used, the hats paradrop the supplies onto the trucks and then those are distributed lmao
modest pagoda
Now we just need ground transports for Arty lmao
astral nymph
we have almost all of that
modest pagoda
Do we have an updated roster btw?
astral nymph
Yeah its up to date
modest pagoda
Oh awesome

we have 5 arty and 4 trucks right now

An airfield would really solve pretty much all our problems
warm hazel
I am twiddling my thumbs so hard rn
queen tendon
Wait we have two PAI? Meaning we can have a VTOL filled with the chunkiest suits of armor we have
hybrid hazel
we could have Vtols go back and forth to carry dudes quickly
wintry swan
And then we wouldn't need orbitals either
queen tendon
An airfield would really solve pretty much all our problems
There’s still the LS issue for keeping the airfield up
hybrid hazel
since we all can move into the next area in bulk at once
cosmic canyon
Hopefully we don't encounter too much Anti-Air
astral nymph
We would not need orbitals other then to drop off 1 LS that we can pop when we need a refill mid campaign...
wintry swan
There’s still the LS issue for keeping the airfield up
Can hats carry LS?
queen tendon
Nope
wintry swan
So we need an orbital to land and deposit the ls
astral nymph
no, just medium... which is useless as no engineer can build a FOB
queen tendon
no, just medium... which is useless as no engineer can build a FOB
They’re talking about for an airfield near us

Yup
But that’ll be the case for whenever this airfield gets placed

45 members in the battle group, getting near hard cap. Do we have enough tac-coms for a full battle group?

It can operate just fine, we just have to use our logistics on hand. it cannot 'spawn' supply
winged dawn
Nice
queen tendon
I just checked the airfield is supplied for 3 rounds after construction. Then it’s 1 LS for two rounds.
I do wonder if we can stack the LS outside the airfield and store it so an orbital doesn’t need parked outside the third time
vestal mountain
HAT's for supply, VTOLS for infantry?
astral nymph
the Large Supply allows us for 2 (or 3 if it has an attached Depot built) turns, spawn an infinate amount of supply needed and repair/rearm for free.

if we do not have any ability to ever get a landing for an AF. then we can always hoof it with infantry all on the ground and use the HATs to store supply as airborn Depots.... assumign the players are okay with that. Thats 100 supply, plus whatever engineers and arty start with.
but thats a worst case scenario we can budget for if need be.

Welcome Mix. While I can certainly say, we will not turn you down, Dwarf Fort currently has 5 artillery and does not even have the logistical lift for those 5. We have half of the arty signed up right now I think. While you might have fun firing in a giant salvo here, you'll likely have more impact elsewhere.
