Nah, unfortunately you were correct
warm hazel
Alright sweet, well excited to see how our arty works together. Was thinking it might be a good idea to shuffle the larger question marks closer to ensure they are in MBT range
queen tendon
But in C3 we had hats doing the rush order (or the equivalent to) and they were flying off screen, coming back, supplying a depot.
They could do that 2 and a half times a turn
warm hazel
3018 - 3014 is where they have range but if their larger units have 2 range I don't see them moving closer
warm hazel

Good lordy, I see why only ground units get it

They also don’t know we’re coming (assumedly)

Fluffle is doing good distraction work Id say as they landed first
Unless we actually engage we may get a full turn of setup

I could have moved in closer
into shooting range of those ground targets
buuuut
I think it would have been only me there lol
queen tendon
There are a few up there trying to escort the civilians out of that building
@proper plank your order is fine, I just figured I’d let you know for the future. Bombardment (and funnel for that matter) is a primary action which doesn’t take speed.
proper plank
Thought all actions took .5 speed. Primary or otherwise.
fallen yarrow
sounds good to me (2917)
queen tendon
Thought all actions took .5 speed. Primary or otherwise.
There are two different kinds of actions. Primary and standard.
Primary is something you can only do once a turn. Usually shooting, but in your case bombardment. Doesn’t use speed
Standard you can do any amount of but it costs .5 speed

Blue = building

queen tendon
Alright Ill drop you off just a space behind that in case you get shot at?
If you’d like, you can lift off after you unload. That way ground units can’t shoot you
proper plank
light blue might be the bot factory? Or the factory here the bots can use to build more units. Blue because its a building but a different shade of blue because it is an actual strategically valuable one, perhaps?
queen tendon
As our best guess
But we don’t know for sure yet. I think we have people going to scout it

How did it go?

sounds great! Thank you for the ride
warm hazel
How did it go?
When get asked if I have any questions I like to ask if there was anything I could have done differently to make myself stand out more as a potential hire.
They said I was the best interview they have had the pleasure of hosting and honestly it has made me all giddy
queen tendon
That’s awesome man! I hope you get the job
warm hazel
Not used to panels of people greater than four but I think I did well
Thanks! Found out that the 12 weeks training would at most be 3 weeks out of state so that should hopefully make it easier to keep up on orders
queen tendon
How goes the orders
They’re going well. Currently missing 4 merchants (one of which let me know they’ll be submitting soonish) and 3 fortress-ers(?), two of which are the ones that missed their last orders
warm hazel
I saw based on the pings. Is it normal to have this much fall off during a war?
queen tendon
Shack says he usually expects a 30% falloff
warm hazel
I keep messaging my buddies who haven't submitted yet and have heard nothing back. Even with warning ahead of time. Hecky
I guess bots have more spec ops units than we thought
Yoinking our troops

Technically you’ll be coming in in the 2717 hex, not 2714. Other than that it looks good

@restive root you should talk here about what to do as an Engi
Best to work on a trench line and how that order would look.

Good morning...
I have no map, no direct instructions and no reply from my VTOL since last night when I asked so

Wogh. So I'm loaded in with a VTOL that's part of Battlegroup 10/A while myself being part of Battlegroup 10/B?

@restive root is going to be late due to work I believe. They don't have the time to message that in here. No phones allowed on site
Yes

let me figure out what my order is given those movements by looking at other people

Also @restive root (Pepper) is likely just wanting to sit in lootbox for right now
And will likely miss this order

Looks great to me

Hey lads. The guy riding in my IFV didn't put in his last order and hasn't responded to my messages and I'm assuming won't be here again. What exactly happens to me if he just doesn't reply?
Does he just disappear?
queen tendon
Is that, fine?
Technically can’t accept it because it’s edited. Can you delete and resend it?

Sorry about that, I am new but I know it's not a good look for my first actual movement

No, you’re all good. Shack just has been strict about the editing part in the past

So far I was thinking on just staying on Lootbox but I was having trouble like... Writing down the order thingie. Should I copy and paste the "Ending coords and Facing" from Lootbox? Cause I see that Snek is riding with it but then disembarking so I don't know like.... One of my issues is that I don't know what kind of stuff is allowed. 🧐 But that's also because I haven't finished reading all the docs. I promise I'll give them a thorough read for Sunday's orders
restive root
So seeing this I should be going to 3018 to help build the trench
queen tendon
you can disembark the truck at any point along its path
restive root
what if I ping choco again :>
🥺 I ask for forgiveness.
queen tendon
3018 actually already has a trench
you could get in the trench if you wanted
you could also stick with lootbox so that next turn you can travel further
restive root
you could also stick with lootbox so that next turn you can travel further
Yes, I remember where I got lost now
I was reading the orders
And Lootbox said it's following Warrior orders?
Who is Warrior? Cause I Ctrl + F for that and there's too many instances of the word
restive root
Or is this Warrior's plan?
queen tendon
restive root
So... the final destination for the path would be 3117?
But Ending Coords is just where it's ending this turn? Or is 2818 the final destination?
restive root
Hmm... So if the trench is already built... I guess I can stay on Lootbox in the meantime, yeah. That would also give me time to finish reading.

It's my favorite gif.any excuse. It gets posted

Ah! I apologize I totally forgot about that. Thanks for editing it for me!
It’s fine anyways the dwarves in the back fell out of the IFV and are MIA, probably drunk in a snowbank lol
lime hamlet
Lmfao. Yeah totally
silent glade
tbh i forgot to put votann on the map xD just assume them missing from your cargo
queen tendon
Votann and Decimus are MIA I think
lime hamlet
It's my head cannon that Votann disembarked and instantly stepped on the single mine in the area vaporizing them. Assuming they get deemed KIA
Anyways break time is over so I gotta go to work so peace
hybrid hazel
My head canon is they fell out the back cause you forgot to close the ramp into the IFV
They’re frozen in a snowbank somewhere
Poor dwarves

i have written no notes on it yet, but i think the mess of arrows is done
man this is an awkward turn
queen tendon
Had to submit mine, idk how much I'll be at my computer over the next hour

man this is an awkward turn
I love that arty is firing on unknown signals xD
silver widget
Yeah, now realizing might not have been the greatest idea 😅
honest quail
if not we get sent to the armco war crime tribunal
no but if they arent ID'd by the end of the turn you wont be allowed to fire
chilly bridge
We will probably ID them this turn
Given that Angi and I are advancing against them
hybrid hazel
The orders are setting intention not what actually happens to be fair. Enemy movement, alongside other stuff might heavily interrupt our plans. Or IDing targets
Like maybe our PAIs don’t get a chance to run in and land right on top of bots that moved lol
chilly bridge
Oh, I will land. I just jumped out and if they are there, power armour is going to crush them
dusk prairie
you know the saying Artillery Wins Wars
hybrid hazel
That’s a beautiful sight to imagine
honest quail
nuh uhhh!! its logistics wins wars!!!!!!!
hybrid hazel
Nuh uhhh it’s the human spirit. If you can’t break it the fight will never end (unless everyone is dead but no spirit left to be had lol)
honest quail
the techpriest talking about human spirit is very funny
hybrid hazel
There is a reason we use servitors instead of blasphemous AI. We also support machine spirits
If the spirit cannot be broken, it cannot be truly defeated
honest quail
true
hybrid hazel
Logistics and artillery helps though. Can’t have good spirits without bread

Mechs are downpowered and taking a leak. You would not believe it. But I have an emote for thst too lol

We are. We just haven’t been updated on what happened for us yet. Just The merchants so far
spice sparrow
Okay, my heart stopped for a second there
silent glade
lol they are in, without notes rn because my brain is fried
silent glade
man this is an awkward turn
if anyone is slightly off from where they exactly wanted to be it is probably due to busyness, alot of people on some tiles, or that the orders that were somewhat hard to interpret xD
steady island
Oh that’s AA it looks like some of our guys are about to fly over
he said they were SPGs in another mid event so unless they’re using same chasis but different weapons they shouldn’t be AA
hybrid hazel
Those are AA if you compare them to the other images. SPGs have a large barrel
steady island
aw he showed them both off didn’t say which is which
hybrid hazel
silent glade
#midround-events message pffffft that looks intense
hybrid hazel
Big barrels are self propelled
Non big barrels are the preferred to AA that we see
On our map
From the one picture we got for Dwarf Merchants currently
It’s AA
steady island
Non big barrels are the preferred to AA that we see
he didn’t say which is which though. so i optimistically op for the large barrel being AA cannon
like ww2 88 flak cannon
hybrid hazel
It literally says the self propelled has massive barrels in a follow up
The massive guns are the self propelled
We got AA on our map
I see no big guns
steady island
that still doesn’t say which is which.
silent glade
😬 aah aa guns
steady island
let me be optimistic and wrong

You can get an oh god the trauma!?

Wait if anti orbital works against the enemy self propelled does that mean arty deals direct damage to the enemy SPGs?

presumably
hybrid hazel
That’s really useful info

this thing
they could be like the halo walker AA gun
you know the big ones you blow up in 3
hybrid hazel
Don’t forget the enemy was launching rockets from the crossroads into Elim. They likely have long ranged rocket arty also. Might be what’s falling back at the crossroads
Or maybe their SPGs are those rocket arty
steady island
you know the big ones you blow up in 3
this
hybrid hazel
I wonder if those bots arty can shoot into orbit
chilly bridge
That looks like a fun time for me!
hybrid hazel
Fluffles is mostly above us still right?
steady island
The one directly above us?
fluffle is presumably staying to fight but they’re outgunned heavily
hybrid hazel
They only landed a few ships?
astral nymph
Fluffles is small... they would lose that quick
hybrid hazel
Well let’s hope the enemy flies low for our arty
steady island
fluffle has 3-4 destroyers and a freighter vs a frigate and 2 cruisers
an it looks like at least 2 of those destroyers are primarily transports
steady island
the robo fleet looks like they already deployed fighters too.
fluffle is in for a tough time
astral nymph
I think they are going to try to bug out here
In the plus side, we can see what the size of an airstrip is now and I think we very much have room for one now
steady island
I think they are going to try to bug out here
if they do we will be slaughtered like storm by robos using drop pods as artillery
chilly bridge
@haughty mauve We have targets!
valid pecan
If they draw them into low orbit could our arty deal with them?
hybrid hazel
It could. But that’s drawing them into low orbit. Why would they?
However, I doubt they have limitless drop pods and might only have one drop pod capable ship
If so, we could try to coordinate something with fluffles and our fighters to try and take it out ?
That’s a lot of maybes let’s see how this round goes lol
steady island
However, I doubt they have limitless drop pods and might only have one drop pod ...
they would still be using them as artillery and dropping troops right atop of us if fluffle doesn’t at least kill the drop podder (assuming it’s the frigate and cruisers don’t have drop pods)
hybrid hazel
they would still be using them as artillery and dropping troops right atop of us...
It might just be something we have to briefly weather, that’s why I mention isn’t limitless. It might be a brief issue if we cannot kill it and we can more than handle a small wave of drop pod troops
astral nymph
We signed up for vraks. Let's start digging.
silent glade
Im hoping we can fairly quickly overwhelm whats here so we can properly fortify this place
hybrid hazel
A little orbital bombardment is preferred over those mega arty
steady island
We signed up for vraks. Let's start digging.
vraks had anti orbital guns and shields preventing the imperials from just dropping right atop of them though 😔
hybrid hazel
We also got a lot of pretty solid buildings we might be able to hunker down if need be hopefully the mines can fit vehicles if it’s a big issue
night quarry
So. What I miss? All I seen was AA and something about our arty can hit bots space ships

no shooting bot ships yet

So. What I miss? All I seen was AA and something about our arty can hit bots spa...
It is that our arty can actualy shoot the enemy artillery and AA big bois directly.
We have always been able to shoot any orbitals that come into range

They don't know why we split either. Also good break down
@restive root we split purely for logistics reasons, thats it. we're the same BG effectively. BG10 (Merchants) is just logistics people and BG4 (Fortress) is some logistics mostly combat. We operate under the same umbrella and are all doing the same thing.
also choco please note your order is invalid in BG4 as it was explicitly stated the orders were closed so idk what'll happen with that@queen tendon knows probably

I mapped it, but it’s in the wrong channel. I was very lenient on this turn, but just based on how busy I am over the next week I might have to be a little bit more strict
steady island
yes but they may come back again it’s a frigate and 2 cruisers vs 3-4 destroyers and a freighter
worse case scenario the bots are picking up extra ships and returning just to really make sure fluffle is dead
queen tendon
True. I was just commenting on why they weren’t on the map anymore

=======RP Post=======
Snow fell lightly in an early Lumaran morning snow shower, the world rendered a light gray by the veil of clouds over the rising sun, which still gave a cheery light to the snowfields and pines backdropped by the tumbled mountains to the east. The wind barely raising itself to a whisper, the frigid air of Lumara doing plenty to keep the temperature chill for the mass of vehicles traveling down a rocky, icy road.
Engines roared, snow tires and metal cleated tracks ground the ice to splinters, the stench of diesel swirled in their wake as the mechanized force of Battle Group Dwarf Fortress advanced on the mountains, and the pillars of green smoke that rose from between them.
Davis lurched backwards as Bukshot slid over another patch of icy rock, catching himself before he banged into the open hatch behind him. He grumbled as he leaned forward again to finish knocking off the ice that had accumulated on his periscopes overnight; meanwhile Bass in the other hatch gave a whoop as the war machine slid downhill for a good five yards before the tracks finally caught again with another lurch.
Periscopes clear, Davis looked up at the armored column he was part of. The truck ID'd as Lootbox led the way, with IFVs, IrS and Traktor beside him, and Halix behind him, along with the heavy howitzers slowing raising their guns heavenward to rain annihilation upon all who dared defy. A gust of wind swept over him, causing him to glance up at the VTOLs that shot through the air above, as well as the giant cargo planes that flew even higher, and their cargo of paratroopers whose chutes were slowly drifting down.
The rattle of distant gunfire brought him back to reality, causing him to quickly duck back down into the protection and relative warmth of Bukshot's hull.
"Bass! Button down! Load AP! Targets will be expected at 10 o'clock when we get past that giant rock! Greene! Keep us at full throttle till we get to where Helldriver is right now, and don't stop unless I say so!"
"Will do Sheriff!" Bass resounded as he jumped back down from the hatch.
"Acknowledged, maintaining course." Greene's cold voice answered on the intercom.
Davis grinned as with slightly shaking fingers, as he cycled through the comms channels, checking for recent reports and intel briefs. The engines had only stalled once on transit, and overall the ride had been much smoother than expected, so maybe, just maybe, Bukshot would shed its rattletrap reputation on Lumara. But he was soon jarred from his growing hopes as he heard a familiar melody come over the radio.
"Haaaaail to the king. Haaaaaail to the oooooone."
He whispered to himself, before his grin grew even wider. Switching the channel to the artillery frequency he called out.
"BigStick this is Bukshot actual. Nice music. Shame our speakers are bigger."
Putting down the radio he quickly made some adjustments and selections on another console, and suddenly all the units around Bukshot could hear a new song blasting above the roar of engines and aircraft.
Good morning dwarves

Hopefully we can take out the enemy arty and AA quickly

It’s possible he just didn’t mention it in midrounds, but I sent a message about it anyways

Alright. Maybe it was updated we just weren’t informed yet
honest quail
so the news from the crossroads makes me thing that those two <?>s on OUR MAP in the mountains are probably arty
queen tendon
“We can hear the strange high energy blasts fire off from the other side of the mines. An artillery postion in the mountains. The things can climb far better than our own SPG's. The explosion in the distance. They hit one of our logi trucks.”
I’d agree lol
hybrid hazel
Lol
queen tendon
SPGs specifically
hybrid hazel
The others are also AA that can shoot dangerously far
If they all targeted the orbital
hybrid hazel
Yea
snow python
what was he carrying?
hybrid hazel
Enemy arty is also massive so our arty can do direct damage to it so I think our arty need to delete that mountain
snow python
cause it could be worse
hybrid hazel
Haven’t even resolved most of what’s going on yet lol
queen tendon
what was he carrying?
10 supply and Howitz the worry
snow python
yea, we also could have lost howitz.

Hopefully not howitz that would be brutal

logi died where howitz was supposed to be dropped.

Lol we can just advance one maybe and connect the trench sandbags put up in front of the forest. Dig em both in

Hypothetical question, but if a unit dies, is it out forever or just that campaign?
queen tendon
Forever
serene mango
Full on dies? it's out forever. and the player has to spend RP to get a new one
queen tendon
You can RP that they survive and come back but mechanically they are dead
silver widget
Oh 🥲
astral nymph
Yeah you can have a survival and remake the unit. But you have to rebuild whatever you had. The unit mechanically is destroyed
silver widget
Well hypothetically this would be the unit’s first ever mission so it’s not a heavy loss; but still
astral nymph
Yeah so like. Example.
Noah my friend had an infantry unit that was wiped in c2. He brought the same unit back for c3 and reused some rp names butbhe had to rebuy the unit fresh
If Nias mech perishes. I'll have Nia survive from her backup on our rp spaceship, but I'll lose the mech and hand upgrade
silver widget
This is my first ever campaign though, so say Howitz dies and we also lose the campaign as a whole (not saying that will happen, just for example), would I just be out basically since I wouldn’t have enough for a new unit?
queen tendon
I’m not sure because that’s never been planned for
I highly doubt that would be the case though
Knowing shack he would probably give people at least 1 req so they can play
astral nymph
Ty, you will always have enough for a base unit no matter what.
queen tendon
We’ve never lost and we don’t plan on starting now
astral nymph
Always have at least 1 to buy a base unit. Though if you die. You'll have 4 at the end of this campaign I think
silver widget
Ah ok
queen tendon
I don’t think we get the 4 if we lose the campaign
But again idk for sure cause it’s never happened
astral nymph
If we lose we lose but we're not there yet
We have medics nearby and we can dig you in too. I think you'll be okay

You can dismount your arty and run around as just dudes. This would make evac easier but I’m no sure how you can recoup the gun. I’ll check up on the rules later

I just realized though, was I even able to get a shot off or was the hit so devastating that I wasn’t able to fire?

You'll fire. They havnt gotten ot the rest of us yet I think

We’ve got quite a frfew vtol in the area if you decide you want an evac

Yep. Keeping the suspense up for all of us

If I haven’t technically fired yet, could I change my target to the spgs? 😅

Unfortunately no

Don’t worry, I’ll blast those pieces of junk right off the side of the mountain for you
Wait, that’s it? What about the rest of DF?
hybrid hazel
Looks like it’s been resolved
queen tendon
hybrid hazel
To be fair our artillery didn’t have time to fire. Half move to unhitch and then half move to deploy I don’t think they could fire at all
Looks like the smaller stuff was resolved
queen tendon
We’ve officially made our mark. Shack doesn’t cover everything in midrounds, it would take forever to do if he did. Take a look at the map. If you notice you’re in the wrong place or something lmk and I can gell shack
Just because a message doesn’t get sent covering what you did this round, that doesn’t mean nothing happened. For instance the infantry in 3017 got obliterated but no midrounds were sent
wintry swan
Not a good day to be a fighter pilot in Victorum wow

How can we tell if our units are still alive? Mine is missing from the map and I want to check

There would’ve been a midround if you died. Likely just a mapping issue. Will tell shack

Oh damn, i'm already missing a guy. Shall I push on or wait for a medic?

Triple's drawing all that AA fire is nice for the rest of the air units in the area, hopefully they can get out of there.

Hey real quick did I take casualties getting out? I only see 5 dudes instead of 6 unless I’m missing something.

Shack doesn’t check orders like that anymore. That’s the tac coms job

Ah alright. Just thought it might be a reason
wintry swan
I am wondering if @indigo willow and I should consider a CAS strike on the enemy artillery to the north. It seems clear of enemy AA and aircraft. However, there are two risks:
- More enemy aircraft could enter our airspace
- We would need Merchants to RTB to reload the following turn
prisma nacelle

We do have fluffle in the area for now. Could talk to them about rearming

That's true. Over/under on enemy interceptors or flak coming into play?
queen tendon
That's true. Over/under on enemy interceptors or flak coming into play?
We haven’t seen any fighters outside of the ones attached to task forces. I’d wager low, but anything is possible
wintry swan
Is there anyone else we have who could hit that artillery?
steady island
…did he just forget to do our moves? he posted the updated map but there’s no mention of DF other than arriving on the hill mine

orange = trenches we've dug
red = trenches we COULD dig,
yellow = barbed wire we COULD make
blue = arty areas
E = engineer group
honest quail
could ping the whole battlegroup tbh so nothing gets by
considering a lot seems to be missing
queen tendon
If you’re missing. It’s safe to assume you’re there and he just forgot to map you. It happens a lot on the first map
Then once you’re on the map it’s easier to move around
honest quail
oh yeah @prisma nacelle how do you feel about our trenchworks so far
you think we should advance and fortify in the city or build a line here
hybrid hazel
I think advancing to take the mines would be ideal. Especially since the door protecting civvies in the mines got breached
And we also need to move up our artillery to deal with their AA and arty also
wise oasis
It could also be a speed issue. I don't remember if it's free for transports to let people off.
queen tendon
It takes .5 speed to unload but only to the unit getting off
silver widget
These are the corrections I noticed. Let me know if I missed anything
I should have fired. My unhitch/deploy was 0.5 movement and then 0.5 to fire a bombardment. Unless firing costs more then 0.5 speed. Or unless my damage prevented me from firing.

I mean you are INF, engis are slow af and also cant shoot anything so we arent really here to take things
most we can do is have two engis (or a engi and somone who can dig the trench) make trenches for you or just one engi making sandbags

Added to the list
honest quail
but if we do that offensively we probably get shot going out into the street before we can make anything
hybrid hazel
Engineers don’t need to advance and we have armour and vehicles moving up
hybrid hazel
I’m saying broadly our forces should try to take the mines before god knows what reinforces them here or those orbitals get above us
Or we’ll suffer even more
honest quail
oh yeah obv, they use the mines to make more bots anyways
hybrid hazel
I’m going to work on pushing alongside the south where I’m at and hopefully help push them out from a good angle
Well there isn’t a factory here but the mines are definitely important to deny them.
Hopefully we don’t have to much opposition moving forward and we can find a good place to bunker down cause the mission is to hold out before reinforcements arrive. I don’t think with how things are looking for Armco is able to liberate the entire planet
Once we secure the mines we have some serious thinking on what to do next
silver widget
Wasn’t the plan to dig in and hold? Or potentially go to H-H then hold?
queen tendon
Correct, but it was always known we might have to change it just depending on how everything goes
silver widget
True
prisma nacelle
oh yeah <@186372222917541888> how do you feel about our trenchworks so far
I think the majority of our forces are gonna be another turn and we have local artillery superiority. So one more round of initial fortifying is probably worth it. We want to move forwards though, so barbed wire would be counterproductive. If we leave it as bags or trenches it can always be a fallback line in future.
hybrid hazel
HH might be hell like C-Z. So hopefully we can somehow gather intel before pushing onwards
prisma nacelle
Would be great to get a scan on the central building
hybrid hazel
It’s definitely a mix of civvies with unknown amount of bots in the main
wintry swan
@astral nymph Maybe this was the formation that people were concerned about. Do we have any idea where these bandits went after going to H-H? This was 2 turns ago. Also @queen tendon
My guess is they're either still at H-H or at Haydar Village. They can't be at Crossroads or else we'd have seen them overhead
queen tendon
The only high orbit map we have is I’ve L-W2 so we don’t have a clue where they went
proper plank
IM ALIVE! RAAHHHHHHH!
If you use .5-1 speed to fall back into 2916 you should be able to get out of range of those SPG and monopolize your greater range of 4 to counterbattery the mountain. Unless the height is giving them extra range it should keep you alive through the next round as well as avenging LOGI. (If they got the range then hopefully some armor will move up that way after the apgs as well and draw their attention...)

This was my thought too, fire an anti-orbital round then dismount and run for it and hope medics can heal me up (and gun survives, but FS is more important)
