Speaking of AA how are WE on AA? Last thing I want to see is some sort of enemy CAS or bombing run to wipe out all out Armor and there's nothing we can do about it

Oh our arty is AA

My sentiment as well, loved making those maps lmao
astral nymph
lolol depends what were using this time around. It was Tabletop Sim last time which was not all that difficult.
We have 3 fighters aaaand I think we have someone who has aa missiles
astral nymph
We have 3 fighter jets 😄
warm hazel
You would think I am joking but someone did the math and it has a high chance of one tapping an orbi even
civic folio
Its mainly 2D, right?
warm hazel
Oh and 2 AA fighter jets in particular
snow python
Oh our arty is AA
Arty is anti orbital. Not AA
queen tendon
yeah that was me
warm hazel
Ah my bad then
astral nymph
It is 2D yes.
warm hazel
The two AA fighters have got me feeling real safe
astral nymph
We have 3 aa fighters now
hybrid hazel
2 with missiles I don’t think the third does

We might could look at Foundry VTT if anyone has it. I use it all the time for Pathfinder and absolutely love it
warm hazel
Oh good lord what
astral nymph
I would have liked to have a ground based AA but we'll do what we must.

No we are only taking a hill
hybrid hazel
Our first objective is taking the hill
velvet scarab
The coolest most based hill
astral nymph
Yeah after that we'll adapt as needed.
warm hazel
But by God is that hill gonna be ours
civic folio
Can I join in on the TacComm stuff to just be an observer and see how its done, like shadowing, that way next campaign if one is needed I can step up
warm hazel
Yeah I'd love to get a peak at how y'all do it
astral nymph
Tac-com stuff is all handled here in this chat so feel free too. Only exception would be if we use tabletop sim but I'm not totally sure how were handling the map this time around. Strategic Map is definitely a png file 😄

But by God is that hill gonna be ours
The most meticulous and detailed plan to secure this hill, at least our northern flank will be in good hands, wish you all good luck

If you ever get a PC based VTT I do recommend foundry. Little pricey but one time pay no subscription BS and it’s self hosted (has mods and can use html and shit to make your own)

None of us are gonna be able to deploy. Dwarf BG all found drunk and passed out in the hanger
hybrid hazel
When we roll off the NPC ships on the second wave it’s just a bunch of guys stumbling out of the hangers, smelling of liquor.
warm hazel
Oh god, engineers open up the supply crates but 80 of the 96 supply ends up being crates of booze
We planned to dig and drink

and the rest of the crates are picks and shovels XD

We are now a mining company

You could also become the heavier variant with double capacity

Wasn't meant as a ping. Just to get your name for a list of Back-Up TacComs^^

The double capacity goes really hard. And being able to handle medium supply from a hat drop
chilly bridge
Sorry for that^^
warm hazel
But I'm still quite likely to just buy a ship
reef merlin
Ahh, makes sense. No worries, just didn't know if I was needed for something or if there was a major plan shift.
hybrid hazel
You could also add various other upgrades on top of that. I think 22 supply is the theoretical max. Unless you carry 6 engineers. Than it’s like what, 26 supply with all upgrades?

True
Just the thought of a overloaded transport truck carrying way over its limit of supplies is fun to me
If you abandon something you bring to tow, it’s still there right it doesn’t disappear?
hybrid hazel
Wait you can still apply the logical surplus to a heavy logistics truck. So you could with a parked logistics truck without stacking engineers could be a depot for arty with 27 supply I think
Unless doubling storage also doubles the surplus
warm hazel
You can also hold a medium supply and that is inf. Small supply
hybrid hazel
Medium supply is consumed at specific locations to produce limitless small supply but for only a round or two I think
But if you had the infrastructure and doubled up carry capacity you could carry in two medium supply
With the upgrades
So drop off medium supply and reload truck with small lol
warm hazel
Quite hilarious that you could do that
hybrid hazel
I agree. If you really want to be funny about it. You could get a FOB built with medium supply storage, store one and use the other, and with other vehicles with logistical surplus store a lot of the supply right next to it to be readily used. Do this right next to a bunch of arty
And do this after engineers build up a bunch of defences so they could restock in full also
warm hazel
If we can talk that one dork into the strat map over arty then we could rain hell
hybrid hazel
Maybe if we get heavy arty in the future
That can shoot that far lol
Could also set this up next to an airfield for more storage and to restock aircraft

How deep a medium supply goes with its light supply
hybrid hazel
Considering we’re backpacking most of our resources in, if we had one medium supply and a way to distribute it it would be a massive supply modifier for us
So hopefully we can find a place to capture that can act as a distribution centre and we find a way to get some medium supply in

nah, we'll get a new lava miner. He'd be a great smelter or forger.
hybrid hazel
We got another squad of infantry (Our logistics AAAA)
vestal mountain
and a light mech.
hybrid hazel
Light mechs are fast is no stress
But now we got more infantry to carry (not saying it’s a bad thing but now we can carry in less supply)
To bad people can’t ride on top of tanks
That would save us a lot of troop carry space
queen spear
If you have excess infantry Phalanx is always recruiting and I’m sure Ultra would happily take more forces as well😝
hybrid hazel
Well we got 11 squads and 2 PAI lol
3 medics and 5 engineers I think also?
We need just one more truck. Just one more. Lol
always need one more truck
queen spear
You guys have like all the trucks🤣
queen spear
You did also take all the arty refugees though so I respect it
warm hazel
The fact we keep having more man power join us is hilarious

And yeah we needed all the trucks to move and supply arty rounds
queen spear
Do we know what city we are gonna land at to deploy our forces before heading to...
No real options besides Elim. That’s where everyone is going to deploy and form our beachhead
warm hazel
Literally had to bribe a friend to join knowing they would take one look at the truck class and refuse to play anything else first
hybrid hazel
I don’t think we did, I just hopeful we get more troop carry capacity / supply capacity lol
Even a single IFV would be great
queen spear
I think we all are learning fairly quickly how useful IFV’s are. Really solid infantry transport unit and not nearly enough to go around right now
warm hazel
Ok so good heavens our unit list
hybrid hazel
11 infantry is a lot lol
warm hazel
5 arty 5 trucks 4 mechs 4 tanks 5 vtols and 2IFV 2Hats and a light vehicle
What the frick
hybrid hazel
Beautiful
queen spear
What a spread
hybrid hazel
We got mobile forces and infantry, good support and balanced air
hybrid hazel
Biggest holdback is we dont have a lot of advanced engineers or medics or transports
warm hazel
We are just not upgraded
hybrid hazel
But that’s just the reality of being mostly stock
queen spear
No one really is
warm hazel
We a literal utility knife with arty
We do have a few heavily kitted vets

hybrid hazel
I think we’ll do well. We just gotta plan our logistics
warm hazel
Out of everyone this would be the CA battle group id say
hybrid hazel
So hopefully we get some ways to up our capacity soon
warm hazel
We got a sick QRF, and iron wall of tanks, and us the CA
velvet scarab
Just one more truck. Always just one more truck
hybrid hazel
Cause if we take on anymore foot troops our logistics are going to struggle more
warm hazel
One more truck would fix us
hybrid hazel
I actually think one more truck or a Hat full of supplies would be a god send lol
warm hazel
Watch as one truck dies instantly and our BG grinds to a halt at speed 1
hybrid hazel
Let’s hope that doesn’t happen lol

Damn I feel I should have gone something else other than infantry at this point lol
Oh well

Literally no one else has support for arty is the problem😅
silent glade
hey i dont mind having a hilarious amount of arty, but other people might want SOME XD
civic folio
How else are we to dig holes from a distance?
hybrid hazel
For some reason people trying to give us arty. I suggested to a medic to join those who have none cause we already got three
astral nymph
we do not need more arty
hybrid hazel
Unless we somehow get another truck I agree
velvet scarab
We need more transport capability ideally
hybrid hazel
We need another truck, the 11th infantry squad we picked up is getting a bit much also for that
velvet scarab
Even 1 more ifv would be nice
civic folio
we do not need more arty
I mean.... we could ALWAYS use more... need is a strong word... but would probably be unfair to take more in if other BGs are struggling to fill the role
warm hazel
Ok but hear me out. A sixth truck for the new arty
astral nymph
We are already the 2nd biggest group. Lets not turn anyone away but I'd suggest looking at other task groups.
Thats fair clutch, very true
hybrid hazel
I think new arty should spread out to other groups more
queen tendon
On the topic of transport. The supply stuff on the sheet will update as we gain and lose people btw
astral nymph
I saw that, very cool
warm hazel
Hopefully as the date draws closer things will even out
hybrid hazel
I’ll do a manual count also before hand since I sometimes find funny ways to stack stuff
warm hazel
I don't wanna take units away from other BGs that need em
queen spear
It might feel bad but there’s absolutely nothing wrong with turning people away for one reason or another
hybrid hazel
Exactly
I think unless we gain more transport capacity we cannot accept any new arty or infantry
queen tendon
Agreed. As much as I want more people. We are kinda the black hole since we are currently the biggest aside from the tank line that is venator. So people gravitate towards us first
hybrid hazel
Except maybe 1 more engineer they can stack supply funny
Yeah we need to slow down on anyone new and try to direct them elsewhere I think
civic folio
I didn't even realize how big this BG was when I first showed interest lol
queen spear
It just kind of happens before you know it
hybrid hazel
We got 52 people
queen tendon
When I first showed interest it was as Nalla and I lmao
hybrid hazel
And our plan is ideally minimum 2 speed while packed up
So any new people either hit supply or movement ability half the time
civic folio
We got 52 people
53*
Had a light mech swoop in after me
hybrid hazel
Ah they’re not on the sheet yet lol
queen tendon
Lmk what your count on supplies is btw. I could only program the sheet to be so smart.
If it was a webpage it would’ve been so much easier
civic folio
Wait. You're right, 52, there was a blank slot that I was accidentally counting on the roster
queen tendon
Believe it or not, people are a lot better at thinking than computers
civic folio
Google sheets can be insanely smart... its just a matter of knowing the formulas and formatting
queen tendon
I’m a lot better at programming than sheets. It’s certainly a different skill
warm hazel
I could see us giving up all our VTOL and an infantry company to that one QRF team but I doubt they would have space on the orbi for them. We are a very stacked force and covering several areas. I think we are gonna be pretty safe working together
hybrid hazel
I’ll check to see an optimal supply fit here shortly
Hey I’m buddies with a vtol me and him ain’t leaving lol

Catch a Riiiide!

Hey I’m buddies with a vtol me and him ain’t leaving lol
Of course! I don't wanna lose any of our units
Got two other trucks and a MBT I'm buddies with I'd rather not see go poof
queen tendon
I’m also buddies with a VTOL (it’s me) and me and him aren’t leaving
warm hazel
Id rather we not lose any VTOLs. Was just saying that we are so big we could end up shaving off an entire chunk from any portion of us and still be a large force.
astral nymph
Its not giving, its their choice. we are well away from starting yet and movement is allowed. Your not married to one place. (Even if were the coolest and have the best booze)

We basically showed up at the same time xD
hybrid hazel
Joining up
welcome, still an arty?
chilly bridge
Nice, we now have a small lance of Mechs
velvet scarab
Speed 1 ahoy
hybrid hazel
I actually don't think its logical for us to take on more arty without another truck considering we are hording so many already and it would slow us down significantly
warm hazel
Oh it isn't logical but we ain't denying anyone right?
hybrid hazel
we're having our transit speed halved
warm hazel
Besides 6 arty is still funny
hybrid hazel
earlier we discussed we'd encourage arty and infantry to join others who need it more
chilly bridge
Having 6 trucks would make it funny
hybrid hazel
we'd need a 6th truck to even be logically operational
velvet scarab
6 trucks would fix me...
warm hazel
We tried I thought in meta. I still highly suggest checking out any other group first. An God I would love a 6th truck
silent glade
trucks always gud
warm hazel
6 arty 6 trucks
warm hazel
You know what would be funnier?
velvet scarab
7 trucks
chilly bridge
Lets not go too hard. Other BGs need arty as well
velvet scarab
Lets not go too hard. Other BGs need arty as well
Ok but think about the funny factor
hybrid hazel
Joining up
hey cursed, we're happy to have you but if you're still artillery we're not sure how to support you without an additional truck with how we plan to move and our already shrinking supply cap
warm hazel
Just gotta pray they make that strat map sized arty refit
chilly bridge
Ok but think about the funny factor
I think 6 is pretty decent. 7 arty takes more supplies
But, now we need another truck....
hybrid hazel
as I currently count we'll loosely have 60 supply, 10 arty supply and 20 engineer supply
queen tendon
We can just pack the arty into a back of a truck, takes supply space
silent glade
im sure we can find a truck somwhere
velvet scarab
But, now we need another truck....
Always just one more truck away from perfection
silent glade
We can just pack the arty into a back of a truck, takes supply space
i wish but i dont think so xD
hybrid hazel
We can just pack the arty into a back of a truck, takes supply space
can we do that?
I thought that would require a crane or something
warm hazel
Was just about to say swen said we couldn't
hybrid hazel
and a heavier truck
chilly bridge
Always just one more truck away from perfection
We were there, but then another arty showed up! ... someone create me a dinkelberg meme with arty instead xD
silent glade
they count as a vehicle and you cant put vehicles onto a logi truck
warm hazel
You can
queen tendon
I think I’ll swap the sheet to prefer using truck space for vehicles so we can get a more accurate travel (assuming no airport where we are going)
hybrid hazel
we'd need a heavier logistics truck I think
hybrid hazel
imma go check over these rules again lol
silent glade
hybrid hazel
holy they can transport a single vehicle
warm hazel
I swear at least I thought I read that
hybrid hazel
but as of my current count none of the trucks are even transporting supplies
chilly bridge
Oh lol
warm hazel
Alright then I was right! I was worried for a sec
chilly bridge
put the tanks on trucks!
hybrid hazel
and no supplies to fire them

And afaik they haven't used their req yet
hybrid hazel
if we can get one more truck our supplies and arty movement will be solid. also, I just realized, if infantry just double time we can still move at two speed right?
assuming we get infantry to do that we could carry a lot more supply
night quarry
Yep
warm hazel
God
hybrid hazel
maybe we just running on foot alongside overfilled trucks

Hey cursed! hope you got a good tan on beach day!
Yeah, but the crew tagging along this time is different. Got some real action so of course the LT is actually showing up.
night quarry
I did in a beginner mission
hybrid hazel
I'll do a quick count on that supply would look like in that scenario a bit better (if we're also packing an artillery in the back of one truck)
velvet scarab
"sorry pvt. you gotta run alongside the convoy, we had to load up the arty"

If I had the RP I'd jump on the upgrade to start with 6 supply instead of 2 which would fix some of the supply issue arty side

rich olive
is the plan to transport the majority of the supply in the HATs or the Trucks?
hybrid hazel
if we make every supply potential carry vehicle only carry supply thats 101 flat supply (light carries 1) 20 from engineers and 12 from arty for a complete total of 133 supply
warm hazel
I think this fits the armored wall of 14 mbts more
hybrid hazel
thats if we shove 1 arty in a back of a truck also
velvet scarab
is the plan to transport the majority of the supply in the HATs or the Trucks?
Vtols and hats I think?
And trucks tow/cary arty and inf?
hybrid hazel
Vtols and hats, trucks for troops (with how I currently laid it out)
wintry swan
we cannot resupply our aircraft
I'm still holding out hope that we'll find an airfield to use, or that Beards can build one for us, or that an orbital will hover above us for resupply
we have options
@round osprey I say we should take a bomber, because we have 3 fighters that can provide escort and that we'll have to account for rearming anyway
silent glade
that sounds like a good amount of supply ngl
warm hazel
Well if we look at the strat map why do we need to worry about going speed 2 as a battle group at the start? The mine is one tile away
We should be able to get away with speed 1 at the start right?
hybrid hazel
we can determine this once our finalized composition is determined
warm hazel
Of course, and by then we should have burned some resources
hybrid hazel
and how things look just before we drop in
honest quail
frankly we're waiting for more intel before we draw up TAC plans
warm hazel
Yeah we still know very little
hybrid hazel
as of the moment we're just trying to set up a comp that works for our desired doctrine (minimum 2 speed for main force with decent supply reserves for fortifications and artillery)
since as far as we know, we backpacking our supplies in and may not get resupplied as readily as we may like
civic folio
All I know is "let me on the ground and let me at'em!"
warm hazel
I think the reason we have more than twice the chat logs of other groups is simply us trying to figure out how to move our fat ass from point a to b
hybrid hazel
yeah, we want to carry as much as we can without being a complete snail lol
because we have a lot to move

Speed 2 with cargo is the hope

Hah well I plan on forming a Logi taskforce after this war
hybrid hazel
true. force march with vehicles full (and an arty in a back) gives us flat 101 supply while loaded up infantry at the moment its 60. (12 from arty and 20 from engineers counted seperately for this)
velvet scarab
Also as we go on the adventures we become friends. And then once I've been immortal for a billion or so years or if I'm just I smash the jar and touch him, killing myself
warm hazel
And each round assuming medics engineers and arty all consume at least one would probably put us at around 13 supply drain a round if they are all being used?
warm hazel
Is it a supply to fully rest- fuck yes
hybrid hazel
and they have 4 I think
so 1 supply = 4 turns of healing
I think thats how it maths out
warm hazel
Very good. So every 4 medics would be 1 supply a round instead
If they are all working
hybrid hazel
if they're actively healing non stop yes
medics staying supplied is relatively cheap compared to artillery and building up a lot of defences
as far as I can tell
warm hazel
Just trying to figure out if we're actually utilizing everything how fast we would burn our stock. It seems we could go hot for 10 or so rounds without restock and that is comforting
hybrid hazel
ideally yes, unless you also account vehicle repairs and unforseen BS lol
and the more supply we have the more barby wire and shells we can drop lol
steady island
so what will i be doing as part of the light mech lance than? vanguard action?
hybrid hazel
forward screening and response likely. if each region is a full battle map we might be operating over a decently sized area
also, we are likely to be engaged in combat to take ground, so infantry with tanks and mechs will be useful to take ground
steady island
so vanguard action, try not to get hit by a bush tank
hybrid hazel
Likely yes. also light mechs have options to avoid getting hit right?
warm hazel
Having a mech near a Logi truck keeps it safe. Attacks would prioritize the mech and the mech is a bastard to hit
hybrid hazel
yeah they got evasive, and they can run through enemy formations. great for flanking and recon
we do have lots of Vtols also but unfortunately they cannot spot ground targets
silent glade
10 rounds is alot of rounds
hybrid hazel
to be fair, we aren't even arriving until about round 3 likely. I feel this campaign is going to be drawn out
warm hazel
Sounds like we need more supply
hybrid hazel
its multi-regioned and the enemies can produce more troops
hybrid hazel
though I assume by the time we're actually get low on supplies the opportunity to resupply will arise
silent glade
if we do have supply for that we are good, im sure we can figure out something in that time from somwhere. i do expect it to be reasonably long, theres multiple maps afterall
steady island

well if only 90-80% of the force can only land after the air/space port is taken than hopefully it’s not too heavily guarded and it’s priority #1 XD

oh yeah I see it. my count is the same. 40 free supply, 12 arty supply and 20 engineer supply (72)
if we forced marched though out of vehicles its almost double combined (133)

Does an arty carry supply whilst packed in a truck?
velvet scarab

med evac is a funny medic corps upgrade to toss on a vehicle
literally free medics slot

silent glade
med evac is a funny medic corps upgrade to toss on a vehicle
Its a great one, lets people play the paramedics they always wanted

And man it is quite fun

I think its interesting, but the issue is we cannot utilize medium or large with our current stuff unless we find a way to transport a medium or utilize an HQ building or something to distribute it
warm hazel
I can't wait to have req to spend
hybrid hazel
cause we cannot build a FOB or transport medium
if we could do that though we'd be golden
hybrid hazel
actually the Hats could transport a medium right?
steady island
if we could do that though we'd be golden
piggy back off another battle group?
warm hazel
They can
hybrid hazel
they'd just need a way to drop it off
and if we don't have a proper airfield for Hats that don't have rugged

We need a big truck

Dont think medium can be parachuted unfortunately
hybrid hazel
and we got no big truck

If you get an upgrade that requires another unit, try to reach out to someone that might be interested. For instance if you want the medium supply truck, see if you can get find an engineer interested in the FOB upgrade so you can team up on the next one

oh hey the main rulesheet looks like it got a small update
wintry swan
What's the update?
hybrid hazel
just looks like formating
and maybe more precise wording
so they cleaned it up basically
also looks like logi can take coordinated airdrops of any supply (up to their capacity*) so if it cannot hold medium it cannot catch medium
but if it can hold medium it can catch it
it just comes down to distribution at that point
queen tendon
Visual stuff
warm hazel
Oh shit so medics and engineers are counted as infantry. They can also paradrop for free from a hat
And yeah love the new look
queen tendon
I don't believe they can paradrop
hybrid hazel
can be trained to drop from orbit though

(combat variants can be trained)
there is now over 400 players (and we got about an 8th of everyone lol)

I am pretty sure medics and engineers can paradrop. We dropped them just fine last campaign. COURSE that could have changed and I just missed the rules.

Oh shit so medics and engineers are counted as infantry. They can also paradrop ...
I'm asking about it in the FAQ because it feels like they should be able to
right now it says infrantry can, but then just doesn't say one way or another on meds and mechanics
warm hazel
I looked at the new sheet
It has a tag next to medics and engineers
Labeling them as infantry
unkempt star

I think they can using logic, but just reading the rulebook it feels unclear

Every BG except maybe Victorum won't have any way to rearm aero assets

We need to run into ONE rearm after the hill and we are so back
astral nymph
Same. they'll be some way. WORST CASE, we build an AF at Hill or H-H and then order a LS and max out on small supply while it's there, or an orbital.
warm hazel
With the cargo rules a single medium would hyper fuel us
queen tendon
Armco has no way to utilize medium supply this campaign, like at all

at which point we'd have more than we could use unless this went twice the time evey other campaign would.
Yes but no field engineer in ARMCO to my knowledge can build a FOB so unless we find one on the map already, were up shit creek without a paddle on that one.
velvet scarab
A heavy truck would fix me
queen tendon
And an airfield is more of our issue than supply as a whole
warm hazel
We got to hope this civilization of advanced engineering dorks have some ways for us to utilize things
wintry swan
We're definitely going to solve this a/f issue one way or another
warm hazel
What is the worst that happens?
Things won't go wrong. And it will be nothing but peaceful encounters. Hell we just show up and the bots agree to turn themselves off. Yeah!
queen tendon
Worst is that we don’t get paid
wintry swan
The absolute worst that happens is that our aero assets are one-shot only
queen tendon
But I guess being bored would suck too
wintry swan
But we have the means to fix that and we will
warm hazel
Worst is that we don’t get paid
NOOOO
The absolute worst is the space port never being taken
hybrid hazel
Getting one of ultras trucks to tow our extra arty isn’t a bad idea
wintry swan
Should we try to see if TF Fluffle can transport us in?
sick matrix
TF Fluffle may take BG1. Will need to reconfirm
hybrid hazel
I’m not sure if any task forces have enough space for us all lol
We’re likely second wave
steady island
I’m not sure if any task forces have enough space for us all lol
if we’re second wave unless there’s a space port on tora and they take it for us it will fall to the bots before we can dig in
brazen helm
dwarves! this is a call for action! a call... for ROCK AND STONE
im trying to 100% Deep Rock and figured i could recuit you guys to help me farm xp for one of the achievements. im just going to be playing point extraction missions over and over.
ill be in game room 4 #222464302714585098
we could call it a "team building excerise"
alternativly, target practice
hybrid hazel
if we’re second wave unless there’s a space port on tora and they take it for us...
we are likely coming in second wave at the space port in the west and marching north, there will likely be fighting involved before we get a chance to dig in
that is the reality do to the lack of orbitals to transport everyone
and our battlegroup is one of the largest
brazen helm
shacks probably gonna make us WORK because we dont have enough orbitals
or he'll be nice and oposition will be light
hybrid hazel
even with moderate opposition, Dwarf fortress combined with Ultra is a significant number of our forces to take the mines
queen spear
Ultra has committed to going north with you guys?
hybrid hazel
supposedly thats what i've gathered
they're also pushing north, and after we secure our objectives they plan to push on
queen spear
I honestly didn’t know if anyone else was going to head on that northern route except you guys so that’s good to hear. I’ll most likely head east with Phalanx then now that you have their help. Just have to see what the group wants to do
hybrid hazel
I'm not sure on the exact plans of Ultra, and things could change once boots are on the ground also
queen spear
Yeah absolutely but I feel pretty good about your chances if you both are heading their. It’s probably about 60ish fighting units between you guys and lots of support elements as well. Plus Storm will be able to reach you in no time if it comes to that
hybrid hazel
thats if much of storm is left lol
queen spear
Well I’m trying to be hopeful about their odds💀
If they take over half the VTOLs in the entire campaign just to get almost wiped in the first couple rounds I am going to lose it
hybrid hazel
it would be pretty funny though
Guess we might be getting another infantry boys (we marching on foot now to actually transport supplies at this point?)
queen spear
If you don’t have the space or transport for infantry Ultra is an easy recommendation instead if they are going the same route as you guys or Phalanx will always welcome anyone
warm hazel
Time to walk until morale improves
hybrid hazel
well I'd like to direct people towards others but people insist on joining us
warm hazel
I blame the name
hybrid hazel
and our activity, and a decent format page, lol
hybrid hazel
12 Infantry, yay AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
guess we force marching boys
unless we get more transports
night quarry
Man. Footing the trip is gona be hell. Just hope it ain't in sand.
queen spear
I mean there’s nothing wrong with turning people down. You’re almost at capacity as is😝
valid pecan
Man. Footing the trip is gona be hell. Just hope it ain't in sand.
We are landing on hoth basically.
night quarry
Awww maaan.
night quarry
We are landing on hoth basically.
Is there a map of the area we landing in?
modest pagoda
unless we get more transports
Man we need 1 more transport for that
hybrid hazel
I'm getting in trouble for encouraging people to maybe join elsewhere lol
valid pecan
Is there a map of the area we landing in?
Not really. I just know the the planet is in an ice age
modest pagoda
Not really. I just know the the planet is in an ice age
I think thats all we know
night quarry
Then ice and snow is fine.
hybrid hazel
Other people need infantry more and people keep joining us lol
modest pagoda
night quarry
Heck, it's a whole lot better.
queen tendon
well we are six from max now anyways
night quarry
Where the snow cats an snowmobiles.
modest pagoda
Oh yes
modest pagoda
well we are six from max now anyways
Heck we really need a 6th truck jow
Now
We have 6 arty lmao
valid pecan
night quarry
Ab don't forget the snow sleds.
hybrid hazel
12 infantry and 6 arty. 2 infantry per arty lol
modest pagoda
12 infantry and 6 arty. 2 infantry per arty lol
Artys get a crew already
hybrid hazel
I know
hybrid hazel
I'm stating that for very 1 artillery we have 2 infantry
night quarry
That good.
modest pagoda
Yeah i just realised that haga
hybrid hazel
which can allow for some nice standardised trenches and arty setups
night quarry
Yep
modest pagoda
We have the engis for it
night quarry
Now just logi, het's, and vtol needed.
modest pagoda
Ye
valid pecan
With the 6 arty and 4 tanks, we're just 6 big guns away from the required 16 for 1812 overture
modest pagoda
Yeeep
night quarry
State in meta that our infantry is full and only air and vehicles is open.
modest pagoda
Honestly our guerilla tactics should be amazing with How well we can dig in
night quarry
True true.
modest pagoda
Though we'll need a supply point close by to where we've dug in
night quarry
Yes
valid pecan
With the number of engineers, we could make an armored train if we find some rails.
dim vortex
Thanks for my inclusion, and good luck to the smart people who make plans.
modest pagoda
Thanks for my inclusion, and good luck to the smart people who make plans.
We can't properly make plans yet unfortunately
dim vortex
You can half-bake speculation which is just as fun
modest pagoda
I suppose
valid pecan
I want the enis to go steal a locomotive full of booze.
night quarry
With the number of engineers, we could make an armored train if we find some rai...
I thought of bringing that up in the meta chat.
modest pagoda
Booze train
warm hazel
I think the main plan is hit whatever we want with an entirely overwhelming amount of force should work
We are just gonna be slow and that is a ok
night quarry
Make a statement that we are making a table top fox hole.
All we need to do now is get the medics an upgrade to be able to put done a field hospital
modest pagoda
We are just gonna be slow and that is a ok
Well apparently we still move at 2 speed so thats not a big worry
warm hazel
Rock and snow
queen tendon
67 supplies is still a decent bit
warm hazel
That should let us run hot for several rounds.
queen tendon
even an extra VTOL would bring our total up by 12
modest pagoda
I mean 6 pieces will be running through it like no tomorrow
warm hazel
Is that counting the 12 the arty have loaded?
hybrid hazel
we likely marching on foot at this point just to maximize supply storage lol
modest pagoda
Lmao
warm hazel
I don't see an issue with a march. The hill is one tile away from the space port
modest pagoda
Well considering we have HATs We can transport supplies to our arty line no?
queen tendon
So we have 5 infantry in the HATs and 2 in the trucks, so an extra VTOL would give us 2 supply from the VTOL itself and open up a slot on the truck/hat which would be another 5. So 7 total
modest pagoda
Using our supply trucks thing
valid pecan
Who ever has control over the sheet might want to ad a few more slots to it. The inf slots are full.
modest pagoda
I see
queen tendon
I said 12 originally but that was just me being dumb because its late and work has me drained
