See if we can get some buy-in.

mortal chasm
#

we've got 2, that's 4PAI

#

plus our 3 HDPods for the rest

sterile venture
#

Then that should cover the PAI teams

mortal chasm
#

212th has room for 3 more INF

compact briar
mortal chasm
#

How many can ride on the Logis?

#

or are they full of supply?

#

Framer can drop on our regular Pods

#

we're short 8FS

#

out of 102 šŸ˜ 

#

can you dump supply? you'll be able to refill at the depot 212 is building

tawny cobalt
#

We have 3 logis so only 1 would need to dump to carry 8FS. And I think one is empty already? Could be wrong about that but saw an order filling two up that didn't mention the 3rd afaik

ok

#

ok noted. i assume we dont have enough transports for everyone

burnt knoll
#

If the VTOLs are free great

#

But it makes a differencce

mortal chasm
#

You'd all board via Picket Line, then join the fleet, then jump on the various HATs/VTOLs, then deploy using our lovely lovely "Fleet Deployment Capacity" rules, which doesn't care at all about what ship you're on.

novel dawn
#

ah ok

#

so for orders what do we put

mortal chasm
#

I think the manifest is done

#

You'd put "paradrop from ____ HAT onto coords"

#

im normal infantry. we can paradrop?

mortal chasm
#

yuuup

yeah

huh. well thats fun. guess ill copy someone elses orders then cuz i dont know where we going to drop

compact briar
#

Can we get a list of assets we can board?

mortal chasm
#

Two messages up šŸ™‚

errant moth
#

Do we confirm these drop areas?

#

We could drop the PAIs in the pods at those contacts in 4117, in theory they have height advantage on the drop points

mortal chasm
#

Gah... fuck

#

I'm sorry. Denied by Shack

errant moth
#

Transport shenanigans break rules?

mortal chasm
#

BG splitting

#

can't send the vehicles in a different direction

wheat helm
#

Yeah, can't split the BG even if they end up in the same place

errant moth
#

Oh, the logis

mortal chasm
#

it'd take way too long to HVTOL everyone down. faster to drive

errant moth

Damn, thanks for trying

mortal chasm
halcyon peak
#

oh, then we wait on the older poll here

remote lotus
#

There's a lot of people going for Crossroad, I'm not a fan of trying to play find the empty spot. I like the look of Hill map and after we win (let's be optimistic, why not) we can just keep pushing north to the next village and then arrive at Zyal.

This play to our strength and keep us going to the main objective we set for ourselves if by going the scenic route

mortal chasm
#

Between you and Iron Hammer, your combined strength is about equal to Venator's

#

Together you could push Ziyal

compact briar
#

We don't have that many vehicles.

#

Are there no HVTOLs we could use from the groups going to Crossroads?

mortal chasm
#

Hoover and Sumer from 212,
ADRGN from Iron Hammer

#

that's it though

strong kettle
#

Do we have a map of the area around the starport?

#

Like, that's been updated?

rose ocean
#

Nope. Shack told us that thereā€™s no need and so we didnā€™t get one

strong kettle
#

Ah, fair enough.

#

Guess I'll wait for the results of the poll

# drowsy thicket scratch that can someone help my medics get from 3317 to 3517?

Current Logitrucks locations by my reading;
Mortar is 3417
Hare is 3318
The5th is 3316
That places us all 1 square from your location
Movement from 3317 to 3517 is two squares.
The problem is cost for loading or unloading. I think your Medics would pay 0.5 move and 0.5 move to unload. TacCom can verify.
I marked passing out supplies last round in two spots. I could say that I have handed out six small supplies which would leave half a truck for carrying 6 FS.
If the Logitruck doesn't have to spend movement on loading or unloading the Medics then it is possible.

drowsy thicket

vague drum
halcyon peak
#

we have 3 logi trucks, so we have at max 36 fs of infantry or 6 vehicles

#

but no BG wide transport capabilites

vague drum
#

hill mine might be the better option in this case

halcyon peak
#

i think crossroads is still a good idea, even if we dont arrive at crossroads in time (if the bots totally fold) we will still be able to hit ziyal

compact briar
#

My main issue with Hill mine is that our ultimate objective has always been Ziyal.

#

Hill mine will put us 4 tiles from Ziyal.

#

We are not a fast battlegroup.

#

Unless we can work something out with other battlegroups to do aerial transportation, we're stuck sloggin it out.

#

and other groups have not been great on reliability with that.

halcyon peak
#

we're also a big BG, idk if we could be transported by any BG/TF

obtuse charm
#

Good evening everyone, what's the plan?

halcyon peak
#

wait for the end of this poll, and then plan actions based on that (too close to tell right now)

#

at least that's what it looks like it's gonna be for me

obtuse charm
#

Thanks flame

#

I think wait and see is the best call for now

remote lotus
#

I mean we're at 3 space from Zyal by Crossroad and 4 from Hill mine, The difference isn't that big.

Also the initial plan was to go somewhere where we could dig in and make bots life hell. Zyal was the working plan for when we had no intel because it looked like the place for it. As we are seeing the situation isn't like we thought at the start.

slow belfry
#

To be honest, i don't know if our BG can handle assaulting the city. We are mostly squishy infantry.

remote lotus
#

I'm not too woried about that. If we can get in cover/buildings and dig in we're very tanky. What more we have like 5 other BGs going for Crossroad then Zyal.

If we get there we can handle it.

#

I just checked your name and you know what ? You're so legit for worrying x)

slow belfry
#

I was recruited under the impression that we were going to dig in and fortify an area for trench warfare. I'd say fortifying Elim is the most important job at the moment. If the bots move behind us and nobody is there, we could lose our main supply access.

Don't listen to me, the pretty flower that landed beyond a phalanx of PAI, your PTSD is much better informed than me.

My thoughts;

  1. Crossroads is open terrain and well covered by other BG. It is currently 2 squares away. Arriving on the map and then marching across the map to contact is going to take several turns. This is turn 6; so, turn 8 or 9 (depending on when we leave Elim) to get there and action some time around turn 12 unless there is a major collapse of the other BG.
    2). Fluffle is alone at the Hill. There are three spots with "green smoke" and each of those spots have a few contacts in a building. I read that as people signalling a need for rescue. Hill is also 1 square away which means we could start making a difference now or next round depending on our movement. Also, after the Hill, we may have 3 squares to Zyall but we also get to clear a village.
  2. The difference between the Hill route and Crossroads is 1 square and it is really less because if we end up marching at combat speed on a map then we could easily use up 4 or 5 rounds getting into contact.
    4). I think our mission remains freeing Zyall spaceport but we need to look at the maximum impact we can have along the way.

So if we're moving out, is there a truck I can hitch my arty to or should I warm up those legs for a long walk?

So how we looking for health? Anyone need any heals or we looking okay so far?

Doesnā€™t look like it cost anything to setup my CCP so Iā€™m fully supplied and ready to roll

Just woke up, what's the plan?

halcyon peak
#

i think still waiting on the poll, but staying at Elim is currently up by one with over 3/4ths of the votes in so i'd get ready to stay in elim

But there was a second poll about hitching a ride to the Crossroads via Atlas

tulip zephyr

i don't suppose we could ask the locals if they have any transports we could use?

Public sentiment is in clear favor of moving out.

I'll have march order up later.

#

Everyone just have an order in before deadline.

bitter valley
#

Copy that, we need to do anything specific?

compact briar
#

Movement rating doesn't matter since we're going on the strategic layer.

#

Artillery and trucks, work out who's hitching with who.

#

Hey is anyone going to Nerys Village?

No idea but we can't go there anyway.

I have seen a couple of people posting Hold orders. If we are on the move to 'L-H' next round and 'Crossroads' the turn after then don't you need to be using 'Advance'?
So far seeing it on an artillery and a PAI

rose ocean
#

Itā€™ll be up to your tac com but ultimately I donā€™t think itā€™ll matter. They are just going to post that the group as a whole is moving to L-H going to Crossroads in whatever formation and thatā€™s all Cap needs

Hydra, are you riding with Hare or The5th?

So are we loading up at the space port for transit? and when is the BG moving, cause it'll take me 2 turns to get there.

Not enough ships for the whole bg so we are walking: from Elym to Point L-H, then Crossroads.

I take ot we're not staying in elim as expected from the poll?

halcyon peak
#

no, were moving to crossroads based on the majority of the BG wanting to move and crossroads being most popular moving option

tawny cobalt
#

At least personally my vote was influenced by the fact that there's no tac map for Elim rn, sort of implies our defences aren't needed ATM. Though I'm a cautious sort so having a defensible fall back position would give some peace of mind

#

Does it bother taccom if we react to each other's orders? Would avoid the ones y'all use to confirm orders of course

Infantry will all piggyback on the PAI

It will take 2 turns total to get to Crossroads.

#

The good news is that Ziyal City is a single march from Crossroads. So we'll be in good position to follow up.

Make sure to hit Phalanx up for turn 7. We will need to coordinate our attack between us and Iron Hammer as well ofcSalute

Oh it's twenty-five marches to Narbo,
It's forty-five more up the Rhone,
And the end may be death in the heather
Or life on the Emperor's throne.

Or we go to the Ravens alone,
I'd rather be Lalage's lover,
Than sit on the Emperor's throne!

#

ODDS will be blasting "Boots" by Kipling the whole march

#

Bots can't traumatize us if we do it to ourselves before reaching them

tulip zephyr
#

Venator has made contact at C-Z.
Bots are a growing problem with factories and assemblers. They have large scale artillery which means they might have more range or hit harder.

ATP will be rocking out to ancient Earth rock; Hellmarch. Great for moral and treks

rose ocean
#

Nah itā€™s time to spill some oil. Youā€™ve got Hammer in the front and Phalanx by your side brothersSalute

halcyon peak
#

plus we're arriving in another turn, the bots are gonna have their attention split over a wide front already by the time we get there

rose ocean
#

Hammer plus Rabbit will start chewing through them this turn. We need to make our push to clear a couple major targets like the walker plus at least one factory next turn.

#

What is your guyā€™s medic and engineer count like? Weā€™ve got 3 and then 1 respectively

halcyon peak
#

5 medics and 6 engineers

rose ocean
#

Holy

#

I forget how much better equip some of the BGā€™s are compared to usšŸ˜…

errant moth
#

We are kinda slow so turn 1 I doubt we will be engaging stuff unless we enter as south as possible

halcyon peak
#

that is true

rose ocean
#

We will have to see but we will need to coordinate our deployment quite a bit. Does north of the town or following iron hammerā€™s route appeal more to you guys right now?

#

I kind of like the idea of having a group on the north side to cut off a retreat or reinforcements

errant moth
#

I can see three scenarios happening:

  • MBTs mop everything up like a wave, we simply march behind them and once we catch up we repair them
  • MBTs rush behind the first line of bots, which we engage when able
  • MBTs are stopped and a frontline in created, which we can join
rose ocean
#

Yeah the tanks are what matter here in whatever plan we go with

#

We really do need to see how the damage rolls shake up this turn

halcyon peak
#

tbh i think it depends on how this turn plays out. if the bots hit yall or hammer hard we might need to deploy near yall to mitigate casualties, but otherwise i do like the idea of trying to cut the bots off from retreating

#

stopping units from dying is gonna be really important (at least imo) for success later in the campaign

errant moth
compact briar
#

How about: we wait for this turn's results, you guys assign us a sector, and then we push in that sector.

inland sedge
#

Sounds good. It seems like they have 2 factory walkers and 3 big airships there. It should be rough

subtle light
#

bc apparently everyone else can just fly in and snipe all the enemies before we can show up

halcyon peak
#

i think the thing is that we've been facing relatively light resistance

#

the light groups havent been facing build up and dug in enemy resistance

subtle light
#

would help if 3 battlegroups all didnt just jump in at once where we are going to kill everything before we arrive

#

... again

#

at this point Im just not going to have anything to do this whole campaign

#

been very boring so far and I regret not joining a BG with actual transports for their infantry

halcyon peak
#

i mean, its looking like its gonna take at least two turns for crossroads to be cleared, so even if we dont see combat at crossroads we're gonna hit ziyal hard

#

clear enough for stratetgic movement*

subtle light
#

again making me wish I picked another bg so I could have something to do this campaign

compact briar
#

In fairness, we joined Elim on the last round of combat because we won as soon as we showed up.

#

And we were the first proper battlegroup to actually get planetside.

subtle light
#

and it looks like thats going to happen with crossroads too

compact briar
#

If that happens, we immediately march on Ziyal.

#

And that will definitely be a fight.

subtle light
#

... and end up behind the rest of the bgs again that can push much faster then we can

compact briar
#

It's one march from Crossroads. Even if all of us go at once, all battlegroups will arrive at the same time.

#

Trust me, we will have something to do.

#

Though next time we need to paradrop.

subtle light
#

yeah I just dont want to continue doing literally nothing all campaign

halcyon peak
#

we dont know how bot factories work aswell, the factories at crossroads may very well be producing bot swarms this turn

errant moth
#

As far as we know, Hammer might get wasted by the arty having some huge AP value... We still don't know how Crossroads is going to go, let's see and consider: we use tanks and air assets too much, the bots might counter with anti-armor BGs that then will need us infantry to clear

#

We haven't done that much these turns, but there are still many more to go

tawny cobalt
#

I may be new to ARMCO but I imagine there'll be some "hurry up and wait" no matter which force you go with. Probably the only people who've had significant orders most turns are pilots/orbital crew

A couple of the BG ahead of us now didn't get to do anything at Elim and this is their first combat afaik

compact briar
#

This is the first time 212 and Shovels are on-map at all.

#

Pathfinders and Ultra are on an asteroid.

last narwhal
#

in C2 i fired my gun 3 times. and then drove into the fog of war hoping to find enemies that never came

compact briar
#

We have, in fact, contributed this campaign.

#

Elim was over quickly because of just how much stuff we brough with us.

last narwhal
#

of course! we gave out sandwiches

#

Depending on the situation at Crossroads, I'm going to try to get HAT support when we go to Ziyal. For paradropping.

# subtle light bc apparently everyone else can just fly in and snipe all the enemies before we ...

I would think this campaign would be more than just fighting for people. We are roleplaying saving civs and being part of a team. Most people in our battle group are new or have just the basic unit. After this if we survive (and surviving is a huge part of this) we would have enough req to get advanced units. I think the fact we havenā€™t seen a lot of combat is a good thing we are fresh and ready for a big fight. The goal here was to always hold out until the NPC forces could come in and fight the bots back so we might actually need to fall back to the space port if things go south

tough condor
#

C2 I did almost nothing the entire campaign because there were so many orbitals that just about everything got 1 shot, but that also meant I was in prime position when we learned we could steal boarding shuttles to take over the Vigil.

warped oriole
#

This battlegroup was formed as a primarily defensive formation, it makes sense we arenā€™t exactly the vanguard

stone igloo
#

C2 and C3 I was in the fire the whole time. C4 I literally just ran up the map. Sometimes thats how this goes.

That being said, Im 90% sure that Cap has been holding back until the final rounds. Any time we find something like the Ballistic missile, we've need it to weaken the big threat or wipe out enough small things to be able to handle the big threat.

Although the coordination with between BGs this campaign has been awful. BGs were created for purposes that were immediately dumped on arrival. Now we truly mercenary groups just trying to throw ourselves at whatever reveals itself.

Target priority is going to be massive here. AP needs to be hitting priority targets and infantry need to do their best to screen enemy infantry being produced

Ayup.

#

I'll send you a sector map once we get a full tac-map of crossroads.

topaz fable
#

Down 6 fighters now

#

Guys we gotta clutch up at crossroads

#

Time to spread some important information, does everyone here know how the enemy chooses their targets? This information could save your units life.

MEDIC'S/ENGINEERS

Don't postion yourself in the same hex/area as infantry. Try so stay BEHIND an ally unit. Otherwise when faced with multiple attacks you could catch some fire. Rather then having the ally unit tank the damage for you. An 6 FS enemy infantry squad only needs to roll a 4/5/6 too kill you. That's a 50% chance of death, don't gamble your life.

wait shack has us going to LH werenā€™t we going to crossroads? or is it that we have to follow the thick lines

topaz fable
#

Two turns cause we are walking

#

Pretty sure thick lines mean ground transport/walking

iron swan
#

Well at least orders this round are simple for us

tawny cobalt
#

Are ranges determined in a circle around the unit or is it just this whole hex is one range from that whole hex?

topaz fable
#

It used to be hexes, but V5 might have changed it let me double check the rules.

compact briar
#

The hexes are a measuring tool.

#

1 "range" is equal to 1 hex in length.

Ahhhh rule change

#

Makes sense

hardy saffron
#

okay it was hill mine getting jumped

topaz fable
#

Still, the advice I gave is useful. Wait behind an unit before moving in to heal/repair. Also medic's/engineer's are bottom of thr totem pole on the target list right?

#

Unless they are a combat version

hardy saffron
#

very true

#

crossroads does look like its gonna be a huge battle though'

compact briar
#

You should be behind, but you also need to stay in contact.

halcyon peak
#

so do you need to be in contact at the beginning of the turn or just before your action

compact briar
#

Before your action.

#

Unless the rules got changed again, medics can only heal on the turn casualties are taken.

#

Unless I'm mistaken, we will be on the crossroads tac-map next turn.

tough condor
#

Also what I'm tracking

compact briar
#

Confirmed. We will spawn in Crossroads with -1 speed this turn.

#

So put the tile you spawn in and any movements you take after.

#

Also, this is the plan we and Phalanx are looking at.

#

We'll take the southern zone, they'll take north.

Can we only deploy in 3718 btw ? Because we're like 40 squads and I don't think we fit...

that's possible

compact briar

Most of us won't have movement when we enter: we'll have used up 1 walking here.

My order might be illegal if so

@hardy saffron ping me when you put your order in im going to use you as cover if your cool with it

do you know where on the map we spawn? iā€™ll input my order now if i know that

inland sedge
#

not sure im waiting on confirmation on where we spawn in. we going to be in the thick of it

#

we prob want to build a sandbag/trench line like this? to defend the airfield while we advance and we can even use it as a fall back point if we get to overwhelmed on the front line

is that the airfield on 38 20?

glass walrus
#

In what area can we spawn?

meager comet

think top left though it hasnt been confirmed i dont think

We need to confirm specific tiles but top left is guaranteed. Thatā€™s the angle we are coming from

I spawned near there so I might be fine

this is iron hammers current plan
we think we have the walker handeled 4117 we have 4 attacks on, that is a bit iffy imho, what we are still concerend about is the three enemy vtol gunships and the two other aa mechs (atleast for this turn)

yes more AA on our side, C-Z is expecting 3-8 airunits moving over from C-Z this turn

@vague drum as an infantry unit, you will be arriving at the NW edge of the map with 0 movement unless you use the Rush order type.

#

To our MBTs, SPG, and Artillery: I have received a request from Phalanx. They want us to focus our fire on the Factory Walker this turn. If you haven't posted orders yet, please let me know if you're targeting something. If you already have, just let me know and I'll make a note of it.

None. I'm assuming NW.

# stone igloo Would I be able to unhitch Arty?

Yes. The regiment is using up 1 movement point to go from L-H to Crossroads, so units with multiple movement points - or embarked units - will be able to take additional movements or actions once on the Crossroads map.

icy pewter
#

hmm i looked at the midrounds, looks like the 4 mbt from iron hammer fired and only got in three hits on the walker ... that means atleast 4 armor

#

calculating from that we would need the 2 mbt the 2 arty and the spg from redwall to add to what iron hammer is targeting with to get to a statistical 6.4 damage

#

of the 6 damage neeeded

Not alot of cover for our infantry. We'll want to get to buildings as quickly as we can then.

@subtle light You will have to use the Rush order if you want to deploy to the hex you have currently given. If you use advance, you will arrive in Crossroads with 0 speed.
