Battlegroup 4/10 - Dwarf Fortress & Merchants: Comms

[honest quail]

@astral nymph Will I be walking or should I ask for transport.

[silent glade]

the coming week is gonna be a good time to plan our deployment with real info from the vanguard groups

[proper plank]

@warm hazel Think I'll hitch up to your truck Driver.

[queen tendon]

Mostly to maximize transportation capabilities, plus it’s cool as shit

[astral nymph]

Your taking transport. Either @ one of the folks empty still (they all pretty much are) or just list your self as kidnappable and one of the carry units can just grab you. (or last chance worst case, Tac-coms can assign or something. I just dont want that to happen casue then peopel will be salty if that transport dies)

[honest quail]

@queen tendon Can you take me pretty please

[warm hazel]

Feel free!

[royal minnow]

Ah, so you're xeno-friendly types?

[warm hazel]

Add your name to my tow cell in the sheet

[royal minnow]

Is your squad an FS of 6?

[hybrid hazel]

You aren’t? looks at my space elf and space dwarf homies

[vale geode]

Only until you shoot at us

[vale geode]

Yes

[chilly bridge]

I don't need rappeling ropes, but I guess it's a good idea so that the other PAI can deploy

[vale geode]

But I think someone else is grabbing me for transport

[royal minnow]

Ah, ok

[royal minnow]

Nah, I am

I was just checking

Black Templars and all

[astral nymph]

Templar is currently not grabbed, they are listed as free to be kidnapped

[royal minnow]

Welp

[royal minnow]

Sounds like you can come with me, Kommando

[civic folio]

So just sit here and look pretty? Done 🤣

[warm hazel]

I'm the Dwarf type of friendly

[vestal mountain]

@frank grotto , Good day IFV, want some infantry to transport? callsign SHIRT

[astral nymph]

We are up to 74 claimed supply and 15 infnatry still need a ride of some sort... and 4 arty need to be hooked up

[warm hazel]

As we get closer we may need to ping players

[hybrid hazel]

I wouldn’t stress to much I think more people will focus on this once we actually start to get a chance to decide what we’re actively doing in the game

[civic folio]

Im also just going with the flow and occasionally pop in to see if im needed lol

[astral nymph]

We have a week before it NEEDS to be in and I just start tossing the dwarves in the back of trucks randomly

[frank grotto]

I'll dust of the seats, the combat minivan is available

[hybrid hazel]

My buddy with a truck plans to hook up whatever arty is left and all of my bros figured out where we’re riding and got it inputted so we just chilling now

[warm hazel]

Anyone wanna do RP posts together for the first order?

[vestal mountain]

Roger, letting the spreadsheet know.

[astral nymph]

I'm going to be, just busy at the moment at work

[warm hazel]

Aye, talking a few of my buddies into it. Just wondering if we all wanna do anything together or referencing one another's characters

[astral nymph]

French does that with his folks over in Iron Hammer, his RP posts are always a lot of fun.

[warm hazel]

Daw sounds cute, I need to figure a name for my 3 dwarfs

Off the top of my head thinking Ragnick, Ham-Tow, Ethel. Is there a units notes section to add lil junk info like that?

[astral nymph]

There was but it got removed. You can use your company edit function here with the bot but it's limited to only about 900 words or so. Yo ucan do show company Nalla command to see mine for an example.

otherwise make a word doc or something, I need to do that.

[warm hazel]

Ah that would be better, need to keep notes on the short dirty bastards some where

Bahaha I guess I could all call them Urist and not have them share their last names with people

[velvet scarab]

For the load orders any artillery pls feel free to take up my tow hitch slot it is half of the whole reason I'm even here

[rigid jacinth]

I think it would be cool to RP order a morale boosting party, something simple like a Space BBQ with plenty of ale.... does anyone know how to give out our orders?

[warm hazel]

I just wanna say I love our artys names

Dwarfs parting before dying in great number sounds on point

[velvet scarab]

All of the artillery call signs are so good and I named my truck Tucker cause I thought it was funny

[prisma nacelle]

@polar comet @brazen helm A light vehicle care for a pocket engi on the way in?

[warm hazel]

Sounds like a brilliant idea

Fast response engineering

Also may I post my current orders here and get some feed back on it?

[brazen helm]

ive already got @sharp canopy in my cargo

[polar comet]

Ooh that would be wonderful!

[brazen helm]

sorry for asking a question thats probably been asked 100 times but we (dwarf fort) going in tonight or next week?

[queen tendon]

round 3, so next sunday

but we liklely won't hit the ground then

[brazen helm]

we should get info like that pinned if it isnt already

[queen tendon]

I'm trying to land someone on the roof using these ropes I bought, you want up there?

[astral nymph]

If your both okay for this, I'll record it.

Engineer unit.... callsign Pupil

https://tenor.com/view/快滾-platelets-cells-at-work-anime-directing-traffic-gif-17545637

Found you

https://tenor.com/view/platelets-cells-at-work-rules-gif-13538757344266088533

[brazen helm]

were getting to those front lines to lay some traps!

[warm hazel]

Good lord roof mounted infantry will be lovely

[velvet scarab]

I'm getting there to feed artillery

[warm hazel]

After unhitching I'm thinking of moving closer so that you can make a trip into distance for a reload then

[astral nymph]

now I want to make an engineer unit callsign Platlet.....

[prisma nacelle]

Loading up!

[queen tendon]

"Can deploy infantry without needing to land. Can also deploy infantry onto a building without using any speed."

:) oh yeah

[warm hazel]

They are honorary dwarfs due to the hard working nature. And they are short

[astral nymph]

Alright so Urist is going to be carreid by Helldriver

[warm hazel]

Does that work with PAI? If so that also sounds fantastic. Get some auto cannons up there

[polar comet]

Ooh yes, now where is the landing site displayed?

[brazen helm]

pupil is doing some irl stuff right now but plan on them saying yes to be being carried

[warm hazel]

Also

[astral nymph]

I've tentatively wrote both of those designations down.

[warm hazel]

Unit Callsign: Driver
Unit Type: Logi Truck
Carrying: Light Supply 10/10 Tow: Deleter
Equipment: Snacks
Order Type: Hold
Movement/Action Tracker: Wait
Starting Coords: NA
Ending Coords: NA
RP: Waiting for deployment is a worry on the mind so the crew of Driver will dismount after last check ups and hang out with the Battle Group Dwarf Fortress. Planning on holding a party with others

Short and sweet for now

[astral nymph]

Not displayed yet, we don't have any tactical info beyond whats in the current midrounds. I expect we'll get some mroe intel tomorrow

[warm hazel]

Figured I'd add what is loaded now

I'll likely remove snacks later

[astral nymph]

Put a space in between those a bit so

UnitName
UnitType
Carrying
Equipment

Order Tyoe
Movement
Start cord
End Cord

RP

Makes it a little easier to read at a glance

[warm hazel]

Will do

[queen tendon]

yes, but for meta PAI are more damage takers than damage dealers since they still do FS based damage. Better to have them with our other troops getting shot

[astral nymph]

We have a quick turn around on tac-com maps this time around and anything that ish elpful for our tac-coms will be grea.t

[warm hazel]

Even the guns they buy are limited to 3? Like even the double damage machine gun?

That is pain

[warm hazel]

Exactly why I wanted some feed back, thank you for that

Saw we have orders due real close to eachother

Building a map between Sunday and Wednesday sounds like it might be a bit of a pain

[queen tendon]

They still are maxed at 3 on the dice roll. But the damage is only doubled on hoard type enemies anyways

[astral nymph]

Its not that bad, but its imperitive on you folks making turn orders easy to read. If you wanna throw a tactical map in paint and draw it as an attachment, that is REALLY helpful

[brazen helm]

wednesday? is there more than one turn a week?

i stopped reading dwarg chat about 7k messages in and havent looked in the other channels at all

[astral nymph]

I... actually have not looked at the schedule,...

[queen tendon]

Schedule - Start Date Sunday, June 22, 2025 6:00 PM
Orders from Players Due Sunday, Wednesday 6:00 PM or 6PM EDT
Tac-Com Maps Due Monday & Thursday 6:00 PM or 6PM EDT
Tactical Maps Released on Tuesday & Friday 6:00 PM or 6PM EDT

[steady island]

so how do i submit orders?

[queen tendon]

if you check #campaign-briefing-room it has localized time stamps

[warm hazel]

Alright thank goodness they still do 6 to hordes

[queen tendon]

that will be in #1327290771048628278 in our thread

but we do not need to submit any this week

[warm hazel]

But it's all super critical info

Do not need to but I still kinda wanna just to get some practice in

[astral nymph]

THANKS I was looking for that.

Axx are you able to make an instructions for the top post in BG4: Dwarf for turns?

[silent glade]

ive got an order template ill post soon with some explanation about what to put in it and how it works

[warm hazel]

They have the schedule in campaign info tailored to your time zone

[queen tendon]

Looks like Swenfeld is going to, but otherwise I would lmao

[astral nymph]

I would have too but I don't wanna step on your toes.

[warm hazel]

Alright so shall we submit orders in BG 10 order sheet?

For Dwarven Merchants

That may need to be renamed in the channel

[astral nymph]

For the merchants, yes.

Combat friends will post in BG 4 channel

[warm hazel]

Including the Logi trucks in combat! Do remember what ya picked

[astral nymph]

Up to 84 loaded supply.

3 empty hats
4 empty VTOLs
1 empty IFV
2 Empty trucks

14 infantry left to be assigned transportation
4 Arty still need to be hitched to trucks

[warm hazel]

Eheheh up to 84 and not even done

[astral nymph]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYfQFdXDq9s&ab_channel=Janovich

[hybrid hazel]

I’m pretty sure most trucks are just taking supplies and the Vtols / IFVs just need to figure out their starting buddy unit. And each arty just needs to find a buddy truck.

[warm hazel]

Gosh I'm eager to see how this goes

[lean notch]

Does submitting orders matter rn since we are in transports for another week?

[astral nymph]

You can do an RP order if you want, but that be about it. We can't do anything till were landed at the star port.... hopefully a week from now

[warm hazel]

I think anyone who doesn't fit in the vtols or smaller vehicles should be fine with walking. Our main goal is one map tile away

[warm hazel]

Me an a buddy we're thinking of submitting orders for just doing an RP party or setup

[hybrid hazel]

Aren’t orders for orders only though?

[warm hazel]

As we have like 2 orders to do that with

They have RP at the bottom

[astral nymph]

It takes multible turns to get through the city.... I'd load em up in the VTOLs/ IFV/ and trucks and save the HATs for emergency supply

ooor load em in a HAT and be paradropped, jsut then the hats are bingo for htings to do for a bit so I'd rather they have supply so they can coordinate drops when needed.....

OR paradrop if they wanna ya know. we have time to decide

[hybrid hazel]

City map just rush that’ll definitely do it for us

[astral nymph]

You can absolutely do an RP order if you wanna, Your justn ot moving or taking any actual combat actions for anything

[warm hazel]

Oh the city was stated to take multiple speed to move through? Didn't see that, changes my view on things

We also might end up fighting in the city

[astral nymph]

Depending on terrain/size/situation. And yeah we might be spending some time fighting AHEM LIBERATING the city.

[hybrid hazel]

I’m fine doing a slow march / rushing infantry since I assume the area won’t be immediately secure anyways and we need every drop of supply over speed I believe

[queen tendon]

if shack comes around and I don't notice can someone ping me? I got a logi truck question that was brought to my attention

[warm hazel]

Same I do want as much supply as possible

[astral nymph]

Put it in the FAQ

[warm hazel]

Gah

It's hard to pick

[astral nymph]

well then we can march speed, its whatever

[queen tendon]

teh Q&A sheet?

[civic folio]

https://tenor.com/view/friend-tank-love-gif-27167293

[warm hazel]

We should have a better idea of how things are going when we get ready to deploy

[queen tendon]

I don't think he's looking at that anymore

[warm hazel]

MBT to the IFV

[astral nymph]

Yeah, we have a Q&A sheet for questions.

Oh.... uh... I mean he was around this morning but I dunno if hes still around right now

[silent glade]

yeah he said he has given up on the Q&A 😅

[queen tendon]

put it in there just in case

logi trucks might not eb able to load vehicles by themselves

[astral nymph]

huh? whatya mean? Just get a hoist crane onto a flatbed

drive it up the back with the little ramp thingymaboops on the back of the bed.

[silent glade]

what emojis should we use for order acknowledgement and completion? xD

[astral nymph]

[queen tendon]

so thats actually an upgrade

[astral nymph]

[queen tendon]

for the HET refit ^

[silent glade]

🗻 and ⛏️ ? 😅

[queen tendon]

I'm just gonna do the

= good
⌛ = waiting on ruling or something
= bad

[astral nymph]

Oh, so we'd need an engineer unit or Heavy Vtol to assit with loading vehicles. I MEAN thats fine. You can also hitch a damaged vehicle

[queen tendon]

Yes, but the core rules say nothing about it

[astral nymph]

If I know somethings wrong i'm going to put on it

[astral nymph]

I mean.... if they got rid of hitching damaged vehicles to pull them back to safety that might be.... interesting

Good =
Bad =

😄

[silent glade]

Hello Dwarves! Your TCO's @queen tendon, I and our many backups thought itd be a good idea to post a template and some explanation about what we will need in your orders here. atleast one of us is almost always available, so feel free to ping us or just drop a message in the DF comms with any questions.

Rock and Stone! 🗻⛏️

Order Template

Unit Callsign: (your units name on the map)
Unit Type: (What are you?)
Carrying: (Passengers?Supply?Ammo?Fuel? It all goes here)

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

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

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

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

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

[astral nymph]

⛏️ STRIKE THE EARTH ⛏️

[warm hazel]

⛏️

All done, orders submitted

[silent glade]

maybe i should mention no editing orders, only resubmitions

[warm hazel]

Oh that is good to know

[lean notch]

pin that template?

[warm hazel]

Actually, should I remove my order from BG 10 so this can get pinned to the top of both the orders chats

[silent glade]

indeed actually plz do im about to send it

[warm hazel]

From what I saw of other chats

[astral nymph]

Yeah remove it for now so the order format psot can be first

[warm hazel]

Done

Went poking around in other order chats and saw that was a common theme. Wanted to ask when you made that

Lemme know when ya add it

[silent glade]

its in

[warm hazel]

In BG 10 order sheet? Not seeing it

[silent glade]

ah i suppose i should post it there too, i put it in the BG 4/10 assuming they were together xD

[warm hazel]

Oh! I deleted my order from 10

Sweet thank you for adding that

[vale geode]

Okay put me on your list

[astral nymph]

Already done

[royal minnow]

Thanks, Nalla!

[fallen yarrow]

any chance someone's willing to give me a seat?

[warm hazel]

Looking like we have a few roads to pick for our line of vehicles

[astral nymph]

We're probably going out that north road

[warm hazel]

||To pump up the message count even further||

Yeah we got north fully and then right and then a complex route through the buildings. Should be easier to tell the movement cost when they get there

[astral nymph]

Assuming we need to clear it... We'll see

[silent glade]

If its clear we can roll off map with 2 movement

[warm hazel]

Yep, snow also could have accumulated due to this being an arctic planet

[silent glade]

If not clear, who knows how big the hex grid is for that

[warm hazel]

Think the bots give a crap about snow? They almost have the city taken so they likely have units there. Roads being clear or not? That's left for speculation until we get the updated map

Still north is our main choice assuming it isn't much easier for us to fish hook south for some reason

[astral nymph]

Won't know till we land. 😦

[astral nymph]

No but I bet theres some nice ice lakes there. We can pitch the tent and cut a hole in. Crack open some brewskis and have a day of it.

[warm hazel]

Honestly sounds like a good time if holed up in the city. Also id say just light lazer a hole but

Nyeheh

I guess mech hands could just punch a hole. Or operate a huge hand drill

[silent glade]

They probably dont especially but if its enough to make hard terrain for us i imagine it will also for them, unless they have some specific unit type that isnt affected

[warm hazel]

Yeah I don't know if they are 'smart' enough to pave ways for their forces or if the bots are literally clunking through the snow like it isn't there

Heavy steel sinks

Pff snow shoe bots would look so funny

[silent glade]

https://tenor.com/view/snowshoe-snow-shoe-winter-run-gif-13275660

[steady island]

hover tanks/hover apcs/ifvs or…

maybe

[silent glade]

If they get hover tech i need to steal it xD

[astral nymph]

https://tenor.com/view/ice-fishing-ice-auger-winter-spin-drill-gif-7524491

[warm hazel]

We are yoinking hover junk the moment we see it

[royal minnow]

Hey Nalla, am I at capacity?

I can't tell if the Templars are a FS of 6

[night quarry]

No it's Strategically Transfer Equipment to Alternate Location. S.T.E.A.L X3

[honest quail]

Would I be able to get down easily? I can't fortify on a rooftop I think.

[vivid vessel]

You should be, Templars is a regular infantry unit

[royal minnow]

Gotcha

[queen tendon]

You'd be my only transportee, I can only fit one. I can take you wherever you want, I just want an excuse to try out my new toy lmao

[astral nymph]

As Shotgun said, yes you are. Templar is regular FS 6 infantry.

[royal minnow]

Ok, just wanted to double-check that

[warm hazel]

You could always grab more people too right? If others volunteer for it during that round that is

[queen tendon]

I can only fit 6 FS of people. Technically I could make trips though

I just meant for the initial drop

[warm hazel]

Aye that is fair

[silver widget]

This first round is just us flying in right? So no need for orders yet? Also once we do land I'll need transport, anyone got space?

[honest quail]

Sure ig lol

[queen tendon]

Correct

[warm hazel]

Yep! I only submitted to try out putting an order in and to use the RP section

[astral nymph]

I'm going to make an RP order of Nia in gate space or however that works

[warm hazel]

Yeah no clue. I tried to keep it vague without knowing more

[wintry swan]

People posting orders are just for fun/RP, right? There's not actually anything needed from our particular BG at this point I assume

[queen tendon]

correct

[minor solar]

Good morning lads, how you doing?

[royal minnow]

Should us Logi's be sending out Orders for getting our rides in the air/rolling out with our men toward the objective? Or are we all on standby still?

[lean notch]

Was BG10 the logi one ?

[warm hazel]

BG 10 is logi

[warm hazel]

I think it would be a good idea

As well as update the page

[silent glade]

We are all still in transit to the system on transport ships, so cant exactly roll out yet but you can rp preparations or shenanigans with everyone else

[royal minnow]

Gotcha, thanks!

[royal minnow]

We do all RP-related shenaniganery in our Orders, yes?

[vestal mountain]

yes

[silent glade]

Indeed it goes in the orders, some people do longer stuff in meta-comm too so it can also go there

[jovial crypt]

EGGB Infantry team here, in which transport do we load? over

[royal minnow]

Gotcha, thank you!

[royal minnow]

Hammerhead is full for my part, you’ll have to check the manifests or ask around for any Logi’s with free space

[dreamy glade]

Ok I'm just asking if anyone wants to get down there immediately in a paradrop? No marching just hopefully not getting shot down. I can paradrop anything up to ifvs I think. Free space is gonna be loaded with supplies.

[warm hazel]

Currently drinker and driver are going out for food and drinks on the waiting voyage. Always welcome more

[royal minnow]

Whereabouts?

[warm hazel]

Oh just in RP orders. You can see either of them in our BG order list

[dreamy glade]

Do Logimen just post in dwarf or we got extra channel?

[chilly bridge]

Logi is BG 10 now^^

But for planning we use this channel. For orders you have a seperate one

[modest pagoda]

Yeep

[dreamy glade]

Thx

Was just confused cuz no name on that.

[minor solar]

It could be named DF: Logistics

[chilly bridge]

The BG name is Dwarf Merchant. So that woul be more fitting

[silent glade]

Indeed, it would be ideal if bg4 was renamed Dwarf Fortress and bg10 renamed Dwarf Merchant

[minor solar]

https://tenor.com/view/benjammins-this-is-true-full-agreement-valid-concur-gif-15045655476187652227

[queen tendon]

Morning Dwarves

[warm hazel]

[restive root]

Hey guys, do you maybe need an Engineer?

[odd valley]

How do I get myself loaded onto a transport vehicle?

I guess that's not relevant for a few turns while we wait to arrive at Elim?

[silent glade]

You are right that we have time still to organise ourselves,
But just go ahead and ping onw of our transports to ask for a ride

Then either one of you,
Or one of us taccoms who happen to be available can put it on the sheet, theres a new page to plan out who is where for when we drop

[silent glade]

If you wanna join the dwarves to dig in the mines we do still have space in both the combat and the logi section i believe

[royal minnow]

Where’s the name for BG-10?

;-;

It looks so empty

[royal minnow]

[night quarry]

Should I load into some one or we still needing to keep space open for logistics supplies?

[spice sparrow]

My IFV is empty if anyone wants to hop onboard. Also sorry I havent been really active, exams are about to end

[astral nymph]

Infantry can load into folks I think. VTOLs and IFVs first. We can discuss if we want to move speed 1 and save all transports for supply or not as we get some intel soon.

[astral nymph]

No worries, best of luck with your exams!

EGGB (Infantry) was asking to come aboard, if that is okay with you I'll shift them on in.

[spice sparrow]

Yeah thats fine, also when does our first round start?

[astral nymph]

A little unclear, but the soonest would probably be this upcoming Sunday.

@spice sparrow If its not sunday, then the Wednesday after... and if we don't have the star port by then .... uh..... well....

https://tenor.com/view/miyano-my-bad-scratch-head-gif-14789073

WE might be screwed

[spice sparrow]

Alright thanks

[astral nymph]

Hailx and EGGB have bene loaded on the sheet together.

We still have 4 unhooked arty's,
2 empty trucks
3 Empty HATs
3 empty VTOLs
12 marching infantry that could take a ride

and our current loaded supply remains at 84.

[cosmic canyon]

To hook up arty I must make a note on the spreadsheat and in the orders, right?

[astral nymph]

Yep so in the orders when you post, if you have them hitched, you'll makr that in the equipment/carrying part.

On the spreadsheet, yes. There's a load tab at the bottom.

OFF CHANCE someone dies on impact, we know who went with them. :/

[royal minnow]

[cosmic canyon]

Any Arty still looking for a ride?

I don't want to hitch anyone who doesn't want to be.

[chilly bridge]

What we could do is ask Dresden...

@kind gyro Could you rename the orders channel for BG for into "BG4: Dwarf Fortress" and the orders channel for BG10 into "BG10: Dwarf Merchant"? Thank you in advance 🙂

And sorry for the ping ^^°

I've been doing that quite often by now

[astral nymph]

Up to 94 committed supply. Same numbers above but 1 less empty truck.

[silent glade]

Eyy nice, we got the order channels renamed

[chilly bridge]

Thanks, Dresden!

[warm hazel]

Oh and @restive root did anyone reply to your request to join? If not you are free to. Just look at the pins for the sheet

[astral nymph]

OH SHIT. I MISSED SOMEONE.

I am so sorry, yeah our sheet is pinned. I have a few open slots left so just throw yourself on the roster in one of those spots. If you need ANY HELP @restive root, please feel free to ask any of us.

[warm hazel]

[dreamy glade]

I'm changing to full supply I'll change if someone wants to paradrop

Just marked it as 25 supply although I'll prob be taking 1 med supply

[polar comet]

If someone is able to stuff a light vehicle into their transport, then feel free to take me!

[rich olive]

I believe med supply is the same as small supply a medic just needs to use a small supply to restock.

[dreamy glade]

I meant medium supply sry I wasn't clear

[rich olive]

Oh no I just read that wrong that makes a lot more sense.

[dreamy glade]

Takes 2 slots so I'd be carrying 1 medium supply and 15 small supply

[queen tendon]

medium supply is different, but we have 0 use for it

[dreamy glade]

It only supplies fobs right?

[warm hazel]

Yeah there is no point for medium supply just yet. We would need a fob or airfield to load it into

And getting it down requires a medium carrying truck or an airfield

[dreamy glade]

And it builds fobs but other than that yeah imma stay with the 25

[warm hazel]

Smart play

[astral nymph]

Yeah, definitely take the 25 smalls because Mediums are GREAT! amazing. SUPER SPECTACTULAR for FOBs and keeping people supplied

For FOBS and from FOBs

The forward operating base that is an upgrade for field engineers

The fob upgrade no onw in ARMCO has.

[silver widget]

Here, I am

[astral nymph]

@cosmic canyon This sounds like a match. Kiss hitches now, i'll write it down on the sheet

ALRIGHT evening update.

2 Empty Hats Remain
12 unloaded Infantry Assortments
3 Unhitched Arty
1 Empty Logi Truck
2 Unhithced Logi Trucks

Ohoho we slowly filling it all up

--==-- Sorta RP Post (I'm starting a word doc to archive all my RP posts and such) --==--
Combat History for Nia Nettle

1. Meta Campaign V – Liberation of Lumara – Start date 6/23/2025
   a. The Lumara system, home to an indigenous otter or lemur species on the edge of Syndicate space, has come under assault by a force of synthetic robots that the Syndicate have been very tightlipped about. The planet is currently in an ice age and ARMCO is the closest substantial force that can assist in the planets defense. Our mission is to reinforce the planet and then hold until the Federation and or Syndicate forces can arrive to hold them off.
   b. Captain Anati has requested that Commander Nia Nettle represent Pegasus Works in this engagement partially due to the need of Nia to get real combat experience outside of training simulations, and more pressingly, because Aura was grounded after the stunt she pulled on the paradrop mission in Lussan.
   c. Nia Nettle will be deployed with a standard Pegasus Works Xanthos Class mech, though due to an unfortunate shipping mix up, Commander Nia finds herself deploying without the standard Laser Rifle after being accidentally shipped an Inferno Torpedo meant for Task Force Atlas…
   d. Though ultimately Rifleless, the adorable android has been assigned to the unruly and boisterous Battle Group Dwarf Fortress. This battle group is primarily made up of ‘Dwarves’, the groups namesake species’ a demihuman xeno race known for their short and stocky statues, prideful dispositions, exceptional craftsmanship, and a penchant for any excuse to party or partake in unhealthy levels of libations. Thankfully Nia would drown her own electronics before she got drunk under a table. Battle Group Dwarf Fortress’s mission is land at Elim City with the bulk ARMCO’s forces and march north, relieving the Lumaran civilians stranded at Hill Mine and or denying use of the mineral rich zone for the Synthetic Bots use to produce new troops. Once taken, Dwarf Fortress will dig in and ensure that no Bot unit will threaten Elim City along the Northern Route.

[chilly bridge]

I think someone mentioned, putting both PAIs into a VTOL with rapelling gear. Is there one left?

[astral nymph]

Yes in fact.

The ONE
THE ONLY

[chilly bridge]

Foxbat?

Nice!

[astral nymph]

Foxbat Fridays

[chilly bridge]

I return once more onto the Foxbat for transport in the beginning of a campaing.

@soft bloom You okay moving the two PAI's in?

[dreamy glade]

Can't wait for all the engineers to get req points and upgrade.

[lean notch]

Demozay is still unloaded, can only infantry fit into VTOLs or can LVs?

[dreamy glade]

Yeah though lvs can only carry two fs

You can also take 2 supplies in addition to 6fs infantry

To carry vehicles you need the Heavy vtol upgrade.

[jovial crypt]

by curiosity are we in one of the corvettes that today reached the location?

[chilly bridge]

No, we'll have to use the automated Transports as we are to big for any TF to transport us. So we aren't on the Map yet

[dreamy glade]

Sadly yeah

I might think about making a transport ship or sum for next time

Especially when we have multiple ground theatres connected by space.

[sand whale]

Can we put in any actions or no?

[chilly bridge]

You can put in a RP order, but we are far away from entering the Map. It's likely going to be Turn 3

[sand whale]

Will chillaroo

[chilly bridge]

Nice

Btw we are with 58 people in DF (split into 2 BGs though) the largest currently.

[jovial crypt]

1 Turn = how many IRL days?

[chilly bridge]

Orders are due Sundays and Wednesdays

You can find more information here #campaign-information message

Other than that there is no length to how long a turn in universe is. Shack wants to keep that vague

[jovial crypt]

k thanks

[chilly bridge]

Nw^^

[odd valley]

This means we're waiting for the vanguard to capture that spaceport?

[chilly bridge]

Yes

Though I think, the transports will be on the Map by Turn 3 already. Can't confirm that rn though

[honest turtle]

Hello dwarf fortress, I am just a visitor from Victorum. I wanted to say that y’all have some great RP comments. Quite a few of them have me a laugh. hope you all have a great day/evening/night. give those bots hell!

[soft bloom]

Sorry for the late reply

Sure am

[haughty mauve]

Does someone want to grab me? For when we drop

I haven’t been around much but now I can be more active

[modest pagoda]

You'll have to ping any of our logis

[astral nymph]

We'll need to spend part of our movement to board up turn 1 I think.

[steady island]

1 cargo bay can hold five units but you need the mech/vehicle … bays to deploy them

[dreamy glade]

Yeah so something like one bay and 2 or 3 cargo bays

Gonna need landing gear aswell tho

[astral nymph]

Awesome, I'll record it if its not already

@restive root Welcome to Dwarf Fortress Chocomint. Glad to have you.

[steady island]

or you could go flight decks and work with HATs. an drop pods. heavy drop pods can drop power armor and light mechs. the other pod deploys the orbital drop troops.

[astral nymph]

@cosmic canyon @silver widget @civic forge

FYI Both Alias and Birds of Byron have listed Ty as hitched to them so... figure out between yourselves who's hitched up Howitz.

[restive root]

Thank you I will do my best to be of service

[queen tendon]

I think we’re good to start with supplies in our trucks and hats though. Historically that’s been fine as far as nesting dolling

[astral nymph]

SORRY, not @civic forge You do not have anyone hitched, it is @velvet scarab who has him hitched. Sor Alias and you, figure it out.

Iron, your loaded with supplies but not hitched arty.

Yeah Axx, supply is all loaded but we'll need to spent .5 speed on the first time loading into the vehicles for affected units

MORNING UPDATE

144 loaded supply
11 unloaded infantry
3 unhitched arty
3 unhitched trucks (1 is double listed though :X)
2 Empty VTOLS
1 empty HAT
1 Empty Truck

This leaves us with 11 infantry needed to be loaded up for speed 2 and
9 Empty seats...

So we'll need to shift one of the trucks off supplies and onto Infantry status if we want to move at speed 2.... Assuming all currently empty seats go to infantry and we get no new IFV/LightVehicle/VTOL/HATS that are not in a BG join up

As Alias has put in his post that Howitz is hitched... I'm going to assume thats the correct hitching.

[cosmic canyon]

Haven't reached @velvet scarab yet. Sorry. Wasn't aware the artillery was double booked.

[astral nymph]

No worries. we got plenty of time, just wanted to let you both know that you btoh had Howitz listed...

Don't need a repeat of Foxbat duplicating. Wild stuff.

[cosmic canyon]

All right. Thank you!

[silent glade]

Itd be nice to have all the extra vtols tho xD

Hows it been going today, not too many crazy dwarven shenanigans i hope

[astral nymph]

Negative, some rp posts trickling in from folks and a few more loaded.

We are slightly overloaded on supplies at the moment if we want to move at speed 2 since the new medic and engineer joined.

[silent glade]

Aah yes i saw one of them join up but not the other, always good to have more engies and medics.
I might put together some RP for Ironsides today

[astral nymph]

Its a good time. We won't be arriving till Sunday at the earliest

[astral nymph]

Love that were using that name... Skidbladnir is a ship in norse mythology said to be the ship of the gods and of finest quality. When not needed, it could be folded up to the size and weight of a piece of paper and placed in a pocket. nod nod

I mean I picked it but you didnt all have to go along with it so :3

[chilly bridge]

I think, you and I are on Foxbat together^^

[vivid vessel]

I was in a bit of rush to get it out before heading to work, so I just yoinked the name to keep it simple xD

[haughty mauve]

Works for me. My next step was to try and figure out where you were since we were thinking of sticking together

[chilly bridge]

We just planned you in since it made sense xD

[lean notch]

How do we work out who's loading on what? Just hold up a sign like picking up at an airport? 😛

[chilly bridge]

I think Nalla has been organizing that a bit and pinged everyone involved of they are fine with it. But if you see a spot open and you don't have one, you surely can ping them and ask

[astral nymph]

Yeah just check the sheet, theres 2 sorta loading things going. Feel free to ping folks and ask.

Some infantry are just listing themselves as kidnappable so, if it's one of them, just grab em and ping em that they are flying with you.

[queen tendon]

It should be mentioned that it might changed based on what happens once boots get on the ground

I’m not ruling out the possibility of an extended conflict through Elim

[silent glade]

Indeed, it may be that we have to fight our way out

[haughty mauve]

Or in

[queen tendon]

Well the good news on that front is that our transport won’t land unless it’s clear (I think, from what shacks described)

[lean notch]

I have a VTOL so I am good getting down, I wasnt sure how to work out if anyone else needs a lift 🙂

[dry wraith]

Right, someone catch me up, I've been ill the last couple days!

[astral nymph]

Battles started, spearpoint of TF Fluffle and Storm have arrived and started skirmishing

We are sitting in transports and on the way. Likely arriving sometime next week...

Were choosing seats for once we land and mount up for transport across map. Check the sheet which is pinned to choose open seats and such.

[dry wraith]

Nalla, I'm glad to be in this battlegroup. That was barely 2 minutes for a quick summary. Thank you! o7

[queen tendon]

If you give me a lot more time, I can give you a lot longer of an explanation with a lot less info

[astral nymph]

Current sit rep maps

Everyone not on the map is in transit through the gate.

Were on cargo transport NPCs so we arrive once the starport is taken by the starting group.

Earliest that will be is this upcoming sunday but I'd put money on it being the following Wednesday or Sunday.

Currently discussed plan is,
Storm and Fluffle continue through to the next Nav Point
Fluffles fighters screen NPC freighters in evasive mode

That battlecruiser gives chase??? and
Atlas comes through the gate and smacks it in the ass.

[night quarry]

@fervent sage @reef merlin @terse merlin Are any of you open and willing to carry a Engi unit of mine?

[silver widget]

As far as I was aware, I was hitched up to Alias (Logi187); not sure why I’m double booked

[reef merlin]

I'm open to it, my cargo is currently empty, I can mark it once I'm on my computer.

[astral nymph]

Stars, would you be willing to scoop up Ingeitum and maybe the folks listed as free to grab? Its mostly engineers and Medics sooo your going to be very important not to get shot down lol

[reef merlin]

I'm fine with that, just notify me when someone needs to get scooped up so I can mark them in my cargo, and I was planning on staying as safe as possible so that works out very well for me.

[dry wraith]

@astral nymph tell me where you want me when the time comes and I'll go there ^^

[queen tendon]

We may not have a way to get people into the HATs btw

Idk how that’s gonna work at the starport

[astral nymph]

I've placed @dry wraith @rich olive @willow lantern @night quarry and @odd valley

into... the HAT.... once we... land
I'm sure the starport is double up as an airport... no way that'd be separate.... BUT if not then STARS will just have supply and we'll be walking I guess or loading into trucks...

[queen tendon]

Do we know if the starport counts as an airfield for pulling supplies and the like?

Cause if so that’s great for us

[astral nymph]

Afternoon Update

144 Supply loaded
2 Empty VTOLS
1 Empty Truck
3 unhitched arty and trucks

6 Unloaded Infantry
Stars HAT has 6 empty seats so we can stash 1 more infantry into them.

We could get slightly more optimal with the HAT and squeeze in one more engiener or something but I don't wanna kidnap people not declared nappable

[queen tendon]

Kidnap me next!

[reef merlin]

I think starports double up, I guess we could ask the New Braven people if it did because I believe they had one there. If not then supplies it is.

[astral nymph]

That leaves us with
1 Infantry
2 Medics
2 Engineers without declared seats

Assuming we move 1 of the 2 infantry into Stars.

With the empty truck thats 12 seats sooo....
2 engineers and a Medic

With the 2 VTOLS thats
1 infantry
1 Medic

HOLY SHEETAKI MUSHROOMS I think we've done it with 144 carried supply. Thats everyone

[reef merlin]

That hill won't know what hit it.

[astral nymph]

@minor solar @dim vortex (Assuming I messaged right Zeal) Would either of you be okay with riding in Stars HAT? He has room to squeeze in 1 more infantry unit into his HAT.

[minor solar]

Sure

[astral nymph]

Awesome Possum, @reef merlin You'll carry Luca as well.

Leaves us with 5, 1 truck, and 2 VTOLs.

@terse merlin @quaint ember @wise oasis @restive root

LordTigris, would you (and nonclue, TK27, Chocomint) be okay with riding in Tigris Truck once we make landfall so we can go speed 2? The selected people are 1 truck and 12 FS of medics/engineers.

[chilly bridge]

Damn, nice! Good work there, Nalla!

[queen tendon]

I think our supply count is off maybe not, looking into it now

[chilly bridge]

Gosh, it's great that we have so many old TCs here.

[queen tendon]

Fr

[chilly bridge]

Best organized BG xD

[wise oasis]

Good with me

[astral nymph]

@dim vortex @fallen yarrow @lean notch @fervent sage

Boomer and Night, please pick up and carry Zeal (infantry) and Shut (Medics) to be carried into the battle once we land so we can move at Speed 2. These are the last transports and infantry (assuming everyone is okay with all these @ I'm not forcing folks)

Supply isn ot off Axx with my new counter.

[lean notch]

Idm picking up either 🙂

I just hope they dont mind the music 😉

[queen tendon]

Your count is higher than my max. So I’m trying to figure out how I fucked it up.

I noticed the trucks had passengers and full supply, but forgot to check if the passengers were arty or not before I said something

[astral nymph]

@soft agate @snow python @opaque aspen @velvet scarab @civic forge @terse merlin

You 6 are the last unhitched arty and trucks. Work out whos with who and let me know please and thank you (hugs and kisses)

That is ALL the ats for now, and once its decided we'll be fully loaded

[lean notch]

@dim vortex need a lift?

[velvet scarab]

@soft agate need a tow?

[queen tendon]

Don’t forget that infantry packing is counted by FS. So you could fit three medics into two cargo slots of a HAT

[astral nymph]

Thats what we've done to include a 6th infnatry unit in P/F

[queen tendon]

Put 6 engineers into a HAT, add in an extra infantry for fun. It’ll sound like a tin can full of spoons falling down the stairs as the engineers get bounced around but it’ll work

[astral nymph]

Lets... not... put all of our engineers in 1 hat ....

[queen tendon]

Coward

[astral nymph]

[queen tendon]

We here at Armco believe in the “all your eggs in one basket” method

[astral nymph]

https://tenor.com/view/spy-x-family-anya-anya-scared-scared-scary-gif-25559140

[chilly bridge]

Hence why we have Venator, flying shovel and so on? xD

[fervent sage]

Yeah I can pick up either

[fervent sage]

I’ll take Zeal if you want Shuts?

[lean notch]

works for me, as long as the seats are filled

[astral nymph]

I'll put that down tentatively

[fervent sage]

Let’s just hope those droids can’t aim ;3

[fallen yarrow]

ok

[astral nymph]

Awesome possum, then it's just Lootbox and Co and the arty and we'll be 100% set

[lean notch]

welcome aboard

[silent glade]

Ooo nice

[terse merlin]

I've changed the medics and engineers named on my entry to loaded, and what ever arty wants to ride my ass, throw your name in the sheet and mark yourself hitched. 😉

[astral nymph]

info post on movement in city.

[astral nymph]

Awesome possum. That just leaves 3 arty to hitch and then we move!

[warm hazel]

Hell yes, let's goooo. Hopefully wouldn't be too hard to poke the last 3 logis

[vestal mountain]

Since Capt. Shack posted of group formation, do we want to plan ours as well? LVs in front? followed by MBT? logis behind?

Who said waiting was about doing nothing?

[astral nymph]

I poked everyone already today so I'm not doing another round of it today.

[astral nymph]

We should, but lets get everyone seated first so we know whos where. Just waiting on the last few arty in that regard.

[queen tendon]

He was talking about task forces. Unfortunately we just got the automated transport so not much to plan there. Once we got boots on the ground, everyone has individual movement

[astral nymph]

This too

[night quarry]

Sounds good to me, I'll write up a order.

[night quarry]

10-4

[silent glade]

We can make a pretty pattern with our rusty non combat freighters 😅

[restive root]

I will do whatever it takes for my BG

[polar comet]

Ahah! I just found the mission orders page!

[vivid vessel]

Brilliant

[polar comet]

mmm yes, barbeque artillery

[quaint ember]

I am logi I don't complain

[night quarry]

Would having snow gear, picks, shovels, three snow boards and a big long deep well snow sled in equipment section be a problem or would that be something to be in the rp?

[vale geode]

Thats RP only equipment

[night quarry]

10-4

[warm hazel]

Oh good heavens

People posting orders 👀

I rushed mine out to get it in on time. Mine retweak it to help match up with all the longer posts of everyone else

[astral nymph]

They are RP orders for 'in transit'. Were not 'due' for a week probably. We'll put in a start post and spam this thread when the time comes to get actual deployment orders in.

[warm hazel]

Yeah I figured when I saw more and more roll in

Also found someone who does real sick wood carvings. This game is making me want a mini of the truck dwarfs real bad

[astral nymph]

Side note cause I just read the RP from Urist.

Gods we have the best battlegroup this time around.

[vale geode]

If anyone needs additional blessings of protection, 3 more platoons "comnpanies" of Intergalactic Crusaders can come over with you give them sufficient time

[prisma nacelle]

@polar comet "Carrying: Nothing much of value"? I resent that

[vale geode]

oh... not sure if we in the same big ship but if we are, current playlist has these songs playing thanks to Templar:
Templar- Sabaton

[lime hamlet]

hey again lads! been MIA for a bit but i see its kicking off! where exactly do i go to submit my orders at the moment?

[vale geode]

mission orders, BG Dwarf Fortress

[lime hamlet]

appriceate it! we can only really hold until deployment correct?

[vale geode]

yes and rp

[lime hamlet]

alrighty! thanks for the help, its my first go around with one of these

[astral nymph]

Yeah we're not really live on the map for another week or so. We're just faffing around with rp while in transit right now

[honest quail]

what orbitals would we be on for larp purposes, or would we all be in our chosen VTOLs n stuff @astral nymph

[polar comet]

Wait what do you mean by that, does the light vehicle come with a supply or something?

[warm hazel]

Good lord

If our chat log is anything to gawk at then I can't wait to see how long these RP posts get for the tac coms ahaha

[queen tendon]

...

[astral nymph]

I made an orbital called Skidbladnir which is a finely crafted heavy freighter. Very norsey and dwarven and stuff.

[honest quail]

very well

[prisma nacelle]

You're carrying me!

[polar comet]

Oh! Muh bad, how do I check that again? I'm new to this

[prisma nacelle]

Easiest to see on the "load order" tab on the sheet

See the pinned comments

[polar comet]

ohhhhhhhhh

I'll fix it

Fixed!

[prisma nacelle]

Ty

[astral nymph]

Just one more 27 hour shift Gears.

[queen tendon]

Reminder, we do not need to submit orders tomorrow again :)

[honest quail]

yes D:

[quaint ember]

Man I love not submitting order

[queen tendon]

[night quarry]

"Cough cough" I have gone overboard with my RP.

My fault.

Hope it's good.

[astral nymph]

Tactical Hula Girl. Extremely needed

It's fine, I started it 😄

[night quarry]

@reef merlin hope you don't mind me adding two minor little things to your cargo bay? I submitted my order. Or would it be considered an rp order.... hmmm.

[dim vortex]

Are we expected to post a hold order?

[wintry swan]

No, we're not even on the strategic map yet

[warm hazel]

Imma make a rush order for moving from the truck to the canteen

[astral nymph]

The earliest we'll be needing to make a post, Zeal, is going to be this upcoming Sunday to Wednesday

We're just faffing around off map right now

I'll stop being a dweeb Nighty night

[chilly bridge]

Night and good morning^^

[soft agate]

Sure

I was asleep so couldnt reply

[steady island]

have the npc transports landed safely yet?

[chilly bridge]

No, they haven't entered the map even

[wintry swan]

From what I can tell, Victorum has 9 fighters, Atlas has 5, and Fluffle has 4. I am unsure if any battle groups other than ours has organically attached fighters

[queen tendon]

I know 212th took some since they could actually rearm them

Most BGs didn’t think about their fighters at all

[wintry swan]

Thank you for thinking about us 😊

212th has 6 fighters

[queen tendon]

We have a map

Completely out of date and has no information on enemy forces but it’s here

[wintry swan]

Seems rather small

[minor solar]

Not as Bad as i feared

[queen tendon]

I think the hexes are just big

[dreamy glade]

Do we land at elm city

[queen tendon]

Look at the buildings

[dreamy glade]

Or do we try to go to the mine?

[queen tendon]

We have to land at Elim (or Elm if you’re this map lmao). That thing in the middle is the spaceport

[dreamy glade]

Also maybe not the full map and there are several right?

[valid pecan]

Remember, the Otters are a kinds smaller species. 4 foot nothing.

They might pack in during an ice age.

[queen tendon]

I think this is the full Elim location map

[minor solar]

I do like that the Starport is in the City Center

[lapis slate]

We have confirmed with Shack that that's the full (outdated) Elim City map. Seems the three strategic nodes is for uncontested transit only

[astral nymph]

https://tenor.com/view/andaria-thyris-small-gif-21077527

Tis a good map, thankfully it wont take us toooo long to cross it.

[minor solar]

I estimate 1 to 3 turns if we have to fight through the city

I mean we're all already loaded onto our Transports

[astral nymph]

I think that sounds right, leaning more on 2 or 3 though. Glad we're going for speed 2.

[queen tendon]

If we are in an active fight we should probably plan on going speed 1

[minor solar]

Yeah, imagine us having to load up for 1 turn

[queen tendon]

We will have to. We can’t be nesting dolled in the transport

[minor solar]

Ah right

[astral nymph]

If we are, yeah.

Well we do have to load up on 1 turn, but thats only .5 off of 3 speed. But the 2 speed is limited by the tanks, not the transports sooo

[minor solar]

Imma be afk for a while. Phone needs a software Update.

[queen tendon]

I just realized that we have too many people in our hats for a fight in Elim. I don’t think they can paradrop in

[astral nymph]

They are all engineers and medics it's exactly 30 FS

[minor solar]

Having to do that later

[astral nymph]

Engineer question... Does digging a trench not cost a supply? just the construction point to upgrade??? In which case I will most definitely be making ample use of a mech sized shovel

[queen tendon]

Correct

Just the sandbag line costs a supply

[astral nymph]

https://tenor.com/view/yukari-akiyama-akiyama-yukari-yukari-girls-und-panzer-gup-gif-9024878154402729932

I'm ready to dig.

[willow lantern]

Guess we'll already be digging a hole

Really sticking to the thematic, aren't we?

[astral nymph]

The shit kid list grows. Welcome Doddo! Now one leash can't stop us. Nyahahahaha

[soft agate]

So what round do we get to do things?

specifically

[queen tendon]

We will be showing up on round 3. But that’s just us on the fleet map, im unsure when exactly we’ll be able to land. Likely another 2 rounds after that.

This is all a new system so I can’t be certain

[soft agate]

ah gotit

[queen tendon]

This is shaping up to be a long campaign. Which I’m not entirely against tbh

[astral nymph]

Yeah at the rate it'll take to deploy us... at least 1.5x the length of previous campaigns. if not 2x.

[spice sparrow]

Hey so I am going on vacation to another country so I'll be unavalible for the next 24-30 hours

[astral nymph]

No worries mate, we dont need to do anything for like a week so your all set.

Have fun Frost, enjoy the trip!

[polar comet]

Mmmmmm excellent

[chilly bridge]

I'm here for it!

[minor solar]

Same

[chilly bridge]

Btw fucking hell. We are at 59 people now. Since we're 2 BGs, we can go over 60 as well xD

[royal minnow]

@vale geode Did the Templars stick purity seals on the ship?

In your Order RP?

[astral nymph]

I doubt we're getting anymore, but I still have some open lines till we hit the deck, then i'll remove them.

[chilly bridge]

I doubt that as well. But it's still awesome to me. We are by now the largest group

[minor solar]

Did the Techpriest bless the machine Spirit of our Transport though?

[royal minnow]

Good question

I don’t think they touched my VTOL, at least, but I imagine they performed the rites on the transport

[minor solar]

[astral nymph]

Not that i'm going to close them perse because it doesnt matter for us really yet

Turn Orders Technically Close in an hour for Turn 2. WE do not need to make an order yet. So no rush.

[royal minnow]

[vale geode]

No seal, we just put oil, holy water, and a thin layer of Smokey incense on it

[royal minnow]

Ah

[astral nymph]

Cycled the orders channels

[night quarry]

So, from what you are saying, our order channel currently is open so that we may state that we are in hold pattern and where we are till we get there, correct?

[astral nymph]

Yeah, cause we're stuck turn 3 as well at this point. We won't be landing till 4 (more likely 5 I think)

[civic folio]

Oof

[astral nymph]

I might make another RP post tomorrow about Nia finding her missing gun

[civic folio]

So its like to be another month before we can do anything?

[astral nymph]

by finding, I mean, finding out its missing

[astral nymph]

huh? hummunh

Well, were not likely to be landing turn 3 here. WE MIGHT be landing turn 4, which is this Sunday to next wednesday

Turn 3 is the one about to start once the next midrounds are posted and I find it doubtuful that we'll be taking Elim city starport turn 3.

[warm hazel]

Turn 10

They get so bogged down in space combat

[astral nymph]

If it gets to that, were hosed

[warm hazel]

Yep

[night quarry]

Oh noo. Not good.

[night quarry]

We did make a lot of changes to the space ships.

Double hanger width for VTOL and double stacking aero fighters.

[astral nymph]

I think that was a bad idea, but that vote was like a 70/30 split sooo lol

[night quarry]

Yep we may be eating that choice soon.

[warm hazel]

So eager to utilize some of them changes.

I think it was a good choice personally. 2 repair kits instead of 3 is a hit but doubling the flight deck for every slot you use?

[royal minnow]

I can still enter an Order for responding to stuff happening in the previous Order Round though, right?

[warm hazel]

You can get 10 aerospace units deploying a round with just 5 slots now instead of all 10.

[night quarry]

Yes agree.

[astral nymph]

Oh absolutely, were not like.... locked into a set time frame right now or anything

[night quarry]

Though for VTOL it's a mater of getting them landed in right, then once there proper one at a time take off

[royal minnow]

Danke

[astral nymph]

were just vibing in alt space for undetermined amount of time on ships. Reference away to whenever vague timeframe you wanna. Within reason

[royal minnow]

I've been working hard trying to pull something together that I haven't gotten to put out an order yet

😆

[astral nymph]

Yeah no worries. Our orders are kind of all the same timeframe for at least turns 1-3 here.

Turn 4 is when we might wanna be more on the lookout or prepped as we MIGHT be landing turn 4... and if not turn 4, turn 5 for sure.

[warm hazel]

Bahaha mood. Trying to craft my 3 dwarfs into some fun units

[royal minnow]

Very nice

[quaint ember]

I love not worrying about my orders

[royal minnow]

I've been making my one unit into an entire character reference

[warm hazel]

Oh no

[modest pagoda]

Ah are we finally on planet?

Or almost

[royal minnow]

Not even close

[astral nymph]

Earliest possible will be Turn 4... which is this next Sunday -> Wednesday.

Templar, will you bless my shovel? Since I can't have a gun, I gotta at least get my combat shovel blessed. :x

Sweet.

[astral nymph]

[warm hazel]

Hell yeah

[chilly bridge]

22 Inf-units, a decent armour and fire support grouo and our own airwing. God damn

[warm hazel]

We are a combined arms forced with the intent to dig a place in

[dreamy glade]

Fr I swear we are gonna become the main ground force on the planet in the end

[steady island]

we aren’t already? 😛

[dreamy glade]

We probably are

[chilly bridge]

We are one of the Main Force BGs, yeah. I think Venator and Redwall belong in that category as well, though both of them are specialized towards Armour and Infantry repsectively.

[warm hazel]

I wouldn't call anyone a main force. We are all the main force together

We all have our own cool gimmicks

Tank lines, arty rain, blitz aero space

[chilly bridge]

Main Force BG in the sense that we are not a spearhead, but the mass that comes after and is able to hold a line effectively.

Main Line BG would be more accurate though

We're also not a rear line BG like 212th or so

[minor solar]

That Mine will become the most defended spot on the Planet

[warm hazel]

Fair we will hopefully hold a line

[chilly bridge]

We will, but I expect this to be a hard fight

[minor solar]

The amount of Oil that will be spilled is gonna call in the space version of the US.

[chilly bridge]

We are pretty quiet atm. I guess that'll pick up once we're on the map as well

[astral nymph]

Yep, we just dont have much to do right now just yet other then certain folks need to hitch their cannons up

also... New emotes!

[chilly bridge]

Uh! Where did you get them?

[astral nymph]

I joined Shondo's server. Not sure if I like hers better then my gacha guilds server with the sailor moon theme though

[chilly bridge]

Tbh i don't know shondo ^^°

But, they do look cute.

[astral nymph]

She's a vtuber

[chilly bridge]

I figured as much. Going to check them out^^

[astral nymph]

She was playing Outer Wilds.... and I love that game so... good enough reason for me I suppose

Not much of a vtuber person tbh or stream watcer for tat matter

[chilly bridge]

Outer Wilds is great

[astral nymph]

BUT OUTER WILDS PLAYTHROUGHS

Thats my bread and butter

[chilly bridge]

Same here, but sometimes it's nicee

[astral nymph]

Most I know about Shondo is... british, small bunny, eats people apparently

[chilly bridge]

Ohkay... Sounds like they watched too much Monty Python

[astral nymph]

Sounds like me tbh

[chilly bridge]

You eat people as well?

[chilly bridge]

So yes?

[astral nymph]

If people tasted like tofu maybe. mmmm

[chilly bridge]

Well, one has to try to find out xD

[astral nymph]

Shak is teasing us with these midrounds

[chilly bridge]

[chilly bridge]

He is. That ship looks terrifying as well. Two MBCs?

[astral nymph]

Two frontal cannons. AP3 D6 battery front the front is no joke. Thats two gaurenteed hits each round

[chilly bridge]

Hopefully they brought enough guns to take it down.

I wonder when a bunch of our warships plan to show up

Like isn’t Victorum a bunch of heavily armed ships? Lol

[astral nymph]

Atlas is arriving this turn and Victorum is right behind them next turn

[hybrid hazel]

Ah I see

[astral nymph]

Yes, they are the slow moving heavy battleships

We are probably arriving same time as them or right after

[hybrid hazel]

I see. Well, I hope once the battleships arrive they’ll help clear a safe path

[civic folio]

OHHHHH I misunderstood and thought it was a turn per week

[astral nymph]

No there is two turns every week, and with the schedule between Tac Coms being posted, Shack making the maps... and then us making posts.. WE REALLY only have like 24 hours to get posts in. It's actually a really tight deadline that was set. I fear for Shcks back.

[chilly bridge]

Nah, two a week^^

[chilly bridge]

Not his neck?

[astral nymph]

Both I mean his neck

[civic folio]

His ....... you know what... never mind

[chilly bridge]

Huh?

[astral nymph]

His neck and maybe his back will be on the casualty list again

Happy early birthday!

Im REALLY feeling ny age and having that existential crisis this year 😅

Thank you ^^

[astral nymph]

EVERYONE does.

30 hits and you 'wait what the fuck? Didn't I just graduate?"??'

[chilly bridge]

Yeah....

I just turned 20. How??

[vale geode]

so many youngins... i turn 29 in like a week or two

[chilly bridge]

So many around the same age xD

[astral nymph]

Tis a good year. Don't over think it. we're the prime.

[minor solar]

I turn 23 in November

[chilly bridge]

And Nalla xD

[astral nymph]

BAaaaaby Luca

Nah i'm only 31, so same group

[chilly bridge]

Yeah, okay. Fair.

So, now we need someone with the age 27 till 24 so that we have a continues line. I'm 28 xD

[astral nymph]

There's 50 of us, I'm sure the bridge will form.

[chilly bridge]

59 actually

[astral nymph]

AAH phew, almost lost my coffee. caught it

[minor solar]

I mean i knew people here would be 10 years older and more, but damn i am a literal child here f%@_k.

[astral nymph]

Naaaah, your good Luca

Definitely going to be some younger too

[chilly bridge]

Pretty good, i'd think. Yeah

My estimate is that the player base ranges from late teens till the 40s

God we do have a right age range here

[astral nymph]

Also, 30s ain't that old rbd

Tbf*

[astral nymph]

It's not.

[modest pagoda]

Thats still pretty young

[astral nymph]

You feel no different from the 20s.

[modest pagoda]

Shii just wait until 40

[modest pagoda]

I bet

[astral nymph]

OKAY maybe I can't stay up all night anymore...

[astral nymph]

I have an hour commute. It's the pits.

[modest pagoda]

Dangg

Thats understandable then

I just have to walk down a hill

[civic folio]

I do NOT miss hour + commutes

[modest pagoda]

And across a Roundabout

If i walk it takes 30min

Which isn't bad

[civic folio]

At that point get a dwarf scooter lol

[modest pagoda]

Lmao

I'll just get an eBike or smth

Welp back to watching secret of the mimic

It is nice to have school at 11:40 a.m. tomorrow.

I'd love to not have that commute but I work in a REMOTE VACATION destination in the Bay Area sooo.

ARMCO:

Me, attempting to create a meme

[queen tendon]

Graphs thanks to Syntax

Wanted to point out our req amount despite our bg being 57% rookies

[wintry swan]

Is that total lifetime req earned per player or total req spent on each player's active unit?

[queen tendon]

Active unit only “I am not that insane to look through 534 dossiers”

[wintry swan]

That's quite a bit lower than I was expecting

For example, my unit is worth 6 req (1 base + 2 missile + 3 afterburner)

[knotty bramble]

*yet

[queen tendon]

Well you gotta remember that 34 people only have a base unit. And some people (me) didn’t spend all their req on units yet

[chilly bridge]

Mine was 1 base + 3 PA + 2 Jump Pack + 1 Shield..... quite expensive xD

[jovial crypt]

well arent they the one in combat at the moment? I guess they have plenty to talk about

[queen tendon]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-husky-soon-gif-7801078

[astral nymph]

[lean notch]

oh shit they boarded one of the combat orbitals

[astral nymph]

We did get boarded, yep yep

Fucking just. Slipped an entire Battle Group army past a ship. Hahahahaha

[lean notch]

https://tenor.com/view/yes-gif-22712908

do we know what orbital our BG is in?

[astral nymph]

Our orbital is in a totally made up NPC orbital transport called the Skidbladnir

That exists in ARMCO's mind. I could be wrong, but I hthink we're basically SPAWNING in on planetside once we take the port.

[lean notch]

so we wont have an instance where we get boarded and the BG starts fighting in its own ship?

[queen tendon]

Probably

?

Anything can happen

[astral nymph]

Not this time. Probably not

Could be we spawn in at the gate in a bunch of unarmed freighters. WHo knows

[knotty bramble]

Wasn’t that one of the orbitals that was part of the QRF Heimdallr during Lussan?

[astral nymph]

Maybe? Its a ship from norse mythology so I am sure someone else has used it. Not like its uncommon

Sitrep on the ground

[lean notch]

is that the scout team we lost contact with earlier in the week?

[silent glade]

Its hitting the fan a bit out there

[silent glade]

We do have a link to our scouts now yeah

[lean notch]

good to see they werent wiped ahead of the main force arriving

[silent glade]

Indeed, hearing long range missiles on their message back was a bit worrying xD

[astral nymph]

I'm just glad Sturm is, so far, unseen by the frigate there. Should allow them to get the jump on the space port

[wintry swan]

I don't think they have slipped past just yet. Probably something that needs to be resolved next turn

[astral nymph]

So far but yeah

[frank grotto]

hello. So sorry to have been gone. This last week has been rough. I missed hold orders but i havent missed anything important right?

just rp?

[astral nymph]

Just RP. WE're not deployed yet or need to put in any orders till AT THE EARLIEST this next wednesday

[frank grotto]

sweet. My guys were just taking a nap then.

[queen tendon]

No orders were necessary at all. People were just doing them for fun

[astral nymph]

I'm going to make another one sometime today

[chilly bridge]

Fuck, I'm hyped. Can't we deploy already? XD

[astral nymph]

Earliest is next Wed to Sunday Turn 4

And thats assuming Storm takes the starport and this functions that we as a fleet 'spawn in' ontop of it and not popping through the gate and moving through space.

[silver widget]

Hear me out, if we get boarded we just point all 6 artillery at them like

Probably just a map issue

[silver widget]

Yeah

[queen tendon]

I brought it up in tac com chat. Good catch

[queen tendon]

I was corrected. They are with Fluffle who is on the Nav Point 1 map point. But since there’s no battle, there’s no map for it

I thought they were atlas

they were on this map with the Tormentor but have now disappeared from it

Ye im with IFYKYK

[velvet scarab]

It's on the load orders part of the Google sheet that's pinned here, I thought that's where I was meant to put it

[astral nymph]

I got it

[soft agate]

I wrote stuff in

i think correctly

[snow python]

AH, new tab. didnt see it.

[soft agate]

should be good now

[astral nymph]

Yeah its in I think. I dunno. I wasn't paying attention to that today lol

Darman And Warspite andLootBox and Iron are the remaining 4

[dusk prairie]

@snow python let me you who you are riding with and I will just ride with you guys

[silver widget]

I’m assuming it’s the patch in the spreadsheet

[snow python]

we got to get our own rides. trucks can only hitch 1 arty

[dusk prairie]

Ah that will need to recheck cause I swore shack said arty can move on their own but at very slow speed

[astral nymph]

Arty can, but you'll be moving at speed 1 and we'd like to move at speed 2 if at all possible

[snow python]

our rides are looking to be iron and lootbox.

just got to wait for them to reply. and with that. I have to go. yay command picnics.

[astral nymph]

Enjoy dar

[silent glade]

Ikr this is the first time i havent deployed first turn after the scouting and im feelin it 😅

[queen tendon]

I will say that so far I’m liking this new system. It adds more layers to think about

Even if we have the short end of the stick as far as deployment goes

[minor solar]

Victorum needs to clear a transit corridor for us, me thinks

[silent glade]

Gotten everyone in the combat halfs units into gimp today, all layered up and labeled so i can move everything about individualy

[silent glade]

I really hope they do,
I wanna land already

[chilly bridge]

Same here!

[queen tendon]

Asterisk to this. As long as it’s not like 3 turns of actual playing and 5 of travel. If the campaign turns out to be the same length as the last ones it’ll suck

[silent glade]

Yeah, it has to be longer.
Its like we now get to play out all the pregame stuff that was just flavour text in previous campaigns.
Which is cool, it will have to be longer tho because of that

[astral nymph]

Drive me closer ships, I want to hit them with my shovel!

But yeah, it'll be better next campaign. We are just critically hampered by a lack of Orbital assets. And theres jsut not that much we can do with that.

Honestly, I don't mind not being turn 1 dropped, but I know that is not going to be a shared feeling amongst a lot of folks

[silent glade]

https://tenor.com/view/let-me-in-eric-andre-wanna-come-in-gif-13730108

[queen tendon]

Honestly I just worry we lose people

[minor solar]

Since i want to garner into the Orbital market as well, i have a proposition. My Plan is to create a BC - think along Valiant-Class from Halo - to give us more Orbital Power in the future.

So anyone interested, DM or Ping me after the current Campaign so we can talk this through.

The idea came to me since i am currently listening to Halo: Empty Throne and one of the Hero Ships is a Valiant. Plus the Look cool

[silent glade]

I worry about that every time you mention it, i just try not to think about it hoping it doesnt happen 😅

[queen tendon]

I’ll stop mentioning it then. Ignore the issue and it goes away lmao

[queen tendon]

Idk what we ultimately want to do, but if we want to move with Ultra may want to lend some wheels for their remaining infantry

[astral nymph]

That is not something we have without dumping supply. How much infantry they need carried?

[queen tendon]

Asking now

34 FS

5 infantry and 1 medic or engie

Unfortunately I don’t think there’s a more efficient way of doing this other than using 7 slots from the HATs/Trucks. that’s 35 lost supply

109 total

[astral nymph]

thats a significant chunk of supply....

especially since we need to split among 2 groups, that would gaurentee we need a resupply

Correct but otherwise we are pushing without Ultra

They are bringing 10 supply of their own

If they need the ride we can make it work, it 'may' still be possible that we can all walk there at speed 1 with all the supply we need

As much as we need the supply, even more infantry support in our area is a good thing

We can recover from a lack of supply, we can’t recover from a lack of people
