ALL RIGHT YOU MAGGOTS, GET YOUR ASSES UP AND ONLINE!

THAT MEANS YOU, BRAVO!

Alright you brats, we got us an armor column heading our way, probably raiders or some damn back ship scavenger group.

I want new recruits to get used to their clone legs and veterans who know what they're doing may join us in armor. You know who you are. If you've seen action in Aggoria then- YOU ARE A VETERAN.


>>

ARMOR ! You want a chance at solid ground with a lot of punching room then here's your chance ! Infantry will be popping the merciless waves but its your jobs to move the battle where it matters !

AT THE ENEMY BASE !

DONT FORGET THAT YOUR COMBAT DESIGNATIONS ARE TWO LETTERS INSTEAD OF 1 !

[Only VETERANS may roll Armor units if they choose to]

Hey, Bravo, wake up. We got some asses to kick.

I REPEAT THIS IS A PRIORITY MISSION IF OUR BIRD GETS COMPRMISED WE ARE NOT GETTING OFF THIS ROCK ! I DONT CARE IF YOU'RE A MARY SUE GARDENING CLONE IF YOU CAN CARRY A GUN YOU CAN SHOOT A ROW OF SCAVENGING HI-

wait whats that sound ?

... really? No takers?

Reporting for duty sir!
I'll help the newbies on foot.

>>12874879

You seriously don't want to drive a tank, private? Nobody is going to stop you from delivering METAL JUSTICE.

>>12874879

GOOD GRAVY I THOUGHT WE WERE HIT BY SPACE RETARD GAMMA RAYS DURING THAT LAST SHOOT ! WELCOME TO THE DOSIER SOLDIER !

>>12874904
Considering I'm alone in volunteering right now, I suppose I will take some armor sir.

I may need a refresher course, if you've got the time.

Otherwise I'll drive a Bitank [top left, correct?]

>>12874921

Correct. For a quick armor summary:

BiTank (top left), our primary tank.
Skimmer (top right) fast mother fuckers with jumping abilities.
Marauders (bottom left) not quite sure, but I do believe they're essentially mechanized mobile demos.
Colossus (bottom right) are slow mother fuckers of pure ballsiness. They punch the shit out of things. Think of them like mechanized knights, gorilla style.

Also, BiTank tag is either [B] or [Bt].

>>12874945
Understood, assuming appropriate tags

This missions lookin awfully lonely right now sir

[BUMP]

> Invaders. You are given this simple warning. Escape now, or be dismantled by our forces for use for our warmachine construction.

> We are the 41st Autonomous Fighting unit, stationed here in MEGASTRUCTURE BLACKSAD of 1,345 Cycles. We are under program execution 666; Asmodeus- a scorched Earth initiative in that would strip any and all resources that this planet holds and render it unuseable to the Exalted threat. To date, we have destroyed and stripped over 150,000 kilo tonnes of enemy mass.

>With your ship we shall extend the Asmodeus Initiative all across this sector and cover the Exalted in the black of cold mechanical attrition.

>>12875019

>Thanks

>>12875024
You! Robot! This is the Galactic Liberation Force Bravo, Executioner Unit assigned to Inquisitor Fierstorm! Stand down, we're on the same side!

>Testing to make sure Trip works okay. It disappeared on me earlier.

"Pidgeon reporting for duty, SIR!"

>>12875059
"Pidgeon, huh. Why do they call you that?"

>>12875072
"Because they gave my brothers the cool bird names. And of course the only girl gets stuck with the lame-ass name." D:<

Current roster:

[Bt1] Zek

[Cl1] Pidgeon

>Honestly, where are the 15 guys who normally show up?

> Rank: Executioner not recognized
>Directive overridden
>Galactic Liberation Forces not filed under any known anti Exalted forces
>Position changed to: Hostile

Any room for a fly-boy fresh out of the vats?

>>12875085
"What, no Canary or anything? Fits a girl better than 'Pidgeon', anyway."

>>12875105
"Story of our squad, eh Major?"

>>12875111

Good to see you Apollo! Don't know just yet; from my understanding, your birds are grounded. However, I will give you priority for any air forces we get. Or you can hop in a land vehicle.

It would seem that this branch has cut themselves off from High Command mainframe as initiative 666 assumes the possibility of enemy capture, all frequencies concerning the location- let alone the communication lines of High command has been wiped from memory.

>>12875088
>Lack of notification?

>>12875130
>I have to agree here, if my sleep pattern wasnt offset I wouldnt have even been browsing /tg/ at this hour.

>>12875121
And get my boots dirty? I know the dance, once you get mud on you, it's a one way street to a Major Ground Command.

>>12875130

>announce that I will be running a game at 11
>g0t back from laser tag at 12
>fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

>>12875120

"Too true, Zek, too true."

>>12875105
All right you metal MAGGOT, I'll give you an hour. If you don't stand down by that time, we are going to go find you and KICK YOUR METAL ASS. I don't care if I personally have to jump into a Colossus unit to do so; I will make sure that you and the rest of the 41st automated or whatever the hell you called yourself are scrapped and smelted down for our BiTank shells! YOU HEAR ME TIN MAN?!?

Ghoul, reporting for war. Point me at my target.

>>12875139

Air to ground strike missions are not unheard of. Be warned, enemy forces are enmassing aerial bogies as well.

>>12875171
"Then those groundpounders are going to be fighting in the shade." My bird ain't much, but if your in a pinch, I'll make sure that any HVT that you point out gets a few missiles with their name on it.

No air support on this mission, then? My luck on Aggoria couldn't last. Should I transfer to the armor squad? I do like the look of those skimmers...

>DM's note

>So if I dont get 8 players here, would anyone be terribly offended if I relocated at Sunday morning. I know im not doing anything at /tg/ club that day. so Sunday at noon is pretty much a promise.

Current roster:

[Bt1] Zek

[Cl1] Pidgeon

[Md1] Ghoul

[CAG] Apollo

>>12875193

"Feel free to take a Skimmer, Irons."

>>12875193

Air support is completely possible. Predators are meant for air to ground supression after all.

>>12875194
>I wouldnt mind, though at what GMT are we talking? I'm on Eastern USA [GMT-5]

>>12875128

"*Sigh* just like High Command to do that, ain't it? Al'right, can we get Blackbox and R00 active?"

>>12875193
>>12875139
"Orbital has just told me that the birds are ready to go. Access to Predators, Interceptors, and Bombers granted. Also, Bombers may act as troop transports."

>>12875246
>>12875217
Hah, excellent! If we've got Predators on hand I'll keep to the skies. Y'all in the tanks could probably use some extra CAS. It looks like I'm the only one for it at the moment, so I'll tweak my designation just a bit.

Current roster:

[Bt1] Zek

[Cl1] Pidgeon

[Md1] Ghoul

[CAG] Apollo (Pick a ground/air unit designation. Just slap it on in front of the CAG tag).

[P1] Irons

>>12875286
"Just make sure you're hittin enemies when you go by, alright fly boy?"

>>12875237
Eastern time as well.

And it seems the clock has run its course folks
With too few players I will give you all a choice. Try this again tomorrow, or start the battle with squads ?

>>12875311
"Who's going by? I'll just hover and shoot right over your shoulders, pal. Why leave the fun behind?"

>>12875346
>I'm up for either, really. If its a tie in votes when everybody else has had their say, I'll make a choice.

[Bump]

>>12875346

Count me in for Squads. New people may jump in later, maybe.

*kicks his feet up* Your call boss, course it might be better if we had a few more brains on the field.

>>12875346
>>12875346
>>12875346
>>12875346

>>12875346
>Your choice. Though I may not make it for a bit, depends on if I can wake my ass up at 9.

>Also, Pidgeon.

>>12875346
I'd stick with now. Why wait? We've got a good crew here, yeah? And those smarmy Auto fuckers aren't going to wait around for Personnel to get their heads out of their asses.

>Bump

>>12875398

One word to you, tin can: MAGGOT.

Map commences.

bump.

"Get ready to hit the dirt, kids. I want squads to move in fast and hard - just start swinging once you've got the 'bots in your sights."

"Pidgeon, I want you to stay in cover. You're a big target, so position yourself in such a way that you're obscured by cover most of the time. Just make your way forward, and smash everything in your path."

"Apollo, you and Iron are sky police today. If it flies, and not ours, IT DIES. Also show some love to our ground boys."

>>12875507
[Bumpin in anticipation]

Action Phase.

The enemy has begun field production ! Heat signatures have ignited throughout the whole field.

>>12875607
"Sir, Yes, Sir!"
-Mumbles to herself-"The ole 1-2, give'm the ole 1-2."

>>12875623
"Orbital, this is Bitank Zek, what is this....structure to my right?"

It would seem that active factories have begun production of droids that immediately becomes active by next phase !

Unlike the robots these factories can be controlled easily enough if we physically hardwire them for our control, provided we destroy the slave automations within.

>>12875607
"I hear ya, boss. I am all about the love."

>>12875623
Ascend to height L3 (that is what the L markers denote, right?) and move 8 squares N. That should leave the top of the hill still between me and the bulk of the enemy forces, I believe.

"Here's the general strategy. Apollo, take your Interceptor Squadron and find a nice spot to fuck shit up."

"Iron, move along the East. Prepare for flanking maneuvers. Do not get too close; looks like the enemy is packing some AA."

"Pidgeon, go left, hug the cliff walls in the center."

"Marauder and BiTank Squad up the center/right, try to cap that factory up on that hill."

"We will deploy R00 on a covert E-warfare mission, if possible, to disable/convert the enemy 'bots."

"Stay frosty people, Intel indicates these guys do NOT fuck around."

>>12875694
"Understood sir, moving now.

DROIDS, MOVE OUT!"

>Move full movement forward and onto L2 if possible. If not, then towards ramp which will lead me there.
Droids follow in roughly the formation we started in.

>>12875694
"On it."

>Amend previous orders to move NE rather than merely N, still at height L3. Should still leave the hill between me and the enemy.

>Face NE, move forward 4.

>Decided to go with the EASY thing to do.

"Covering your tail Zek, lets hail a little fire and brimstone on these bots"
>Moving along with Zek leaving a single space gap for manuvering

>Since there's only 5 of us, you can probably cut down the action phase time significantly, if you want.

>also, BUMP

>>12875769
"These tin cans wont know what hit em!"

Action Phase Over. Enemy to Move

Action phase.

>>12875915
>Move myself and droid to my left forward full, go into overwatch
>Droid on right, go NE full, overwatch over valley

>>12875915

>Holy shit that was fast.

Alright, move up and smash some metal skulls, kids.

>>12875915
"Uhh.... Looks like I went the wrong way.... Ohwell."
>Move forward and CLIMB THAT SHIT

>>12875694
"Have we got any more intel to work with here? Never seen these guys before, I'm not sure which of them I should be shooting first."


>Move 4 squares E, 4 squares NE.

>Entire squad moves NE moving towards the factory objective
"Major, this is Ghoul. You want that factory? We'll get it for you sir!"

>>12875999

"Things on the right are structures; the topmost one you've circled is a piping of some sort that leads into the main factory. The bubble thing... well, your guess is as good as mine."

"Also, the smaller boegies look like small tanks. The bigger ones are probably medium/heavy tanks, the ones with two lines coming out of them might be anit-air. No clue as to what the V ones are. Either way, until we get more intel coming at us, just shoot at the closest target."

"Also, Orbital, how long will it take to load R00 with that virus program and prep that conscript squad?"

>>12875999

"Oh, right, we do want that."

"Zek, can you go capture that factory closest to us?"

>Sorry, auto-assumed that it was automatically ours.

>>12875999

>Enemy forces are as follows
> Basic Pre-BiTank armor units. it seems to be the MOST mass produced unit, so some old models are still
in service.
> Griffin FULL QUADREPEDAL BATTLE TANK is a dedicated anti armor unit with dual cannons and 4 Gravitron powered pedal units.

> The pipes seem to indicate a sudden heat reaction when factories have begun production. It is likely linked with their resource hoarding.

> That residential unit on the hill shows no signs of life... however, its placement is strange.

"Reporting for duty! Enemy assessment inbound!"

>>12876067
>>12876059

"Okay. Strike that! Command has it covered. My humble opinion is that hitting the pipe-structure will help in the short term."

>>12876046
"I'll work my way there sir, just keep those anti tank things off me and my drones."

>I just realized that Predators fly faster than the rockets they shoot
>I could literally fire a rocket and then accidentally smash myself into it the next round by continuing to fly in the same direction, how awkward

>>12876059
>> That residential unit on the hill shows no signs of life... however, its placement is strange.

"Command, y'think I should blast that dome home? I don't like its face. Uh, its look. There could be some sort of hidden firing position there, and it'll be in range soon. Hell, I don't like that pipe coming under this hill, either. Maybe I should fly higher, in case it explodes."

>>12876067
>I think we can drop you in for what, 2 command points? Then you can hitch a ride with one of the tanks, though it looks like you brought a rifle to a cannon fight.

>>12876092

"Welcome to the land of the living, Wolf. You will be deployed shortly along with a droid squad consisting of R00 and two Anti-Armor droids. Your first objective will be to investigate that dwelling. Then you'll move along the pipeline and gain entry into the factory, where R00 will use a virus program to disable the automated forces."

"So pick a door on the mothership and get your boots dirty."

"Apollo, move the Interceptors towards that little plateau in the center. Fire on the closest of the quad tanks."

rolled 6, 5, 3 = 14

>>12876143

>Hurp, forgot how the dice works.

>>12876140

"Fuck the armor! Infantry for life! ... I would take a Rocket-Lawnchair though."

>>12876143
>>12876155

"Damnit! Stupid, newfangled, shitty radio equipment! Understood, Sir! She will make it! I swear it on my memory-chip!"

>Deploy near door C and I'll take the rifle. Thank you very much.

Apollo Squad gets a Kill

Action Phase over.

>>12876215

"Uhh. What are those triangles, Command?

>>12876234

Medium Frame Quadrepedal artillery.

>>12876234

"Looks like firing ranges for the tanks, boy. Go cap that factory on the way to that little dome thing. Hell, maybe you'll find some new gun!"

>>12876243
>>12876215

"If it's not some sort of rifle I will pilfer and sell it. Uhm. I mean: give it to the next best soldier!"

>RUN NORTH-EAST and CAPTURE the FABRICATOR

Action Phase.

Enemy Artillery has bombarded our positions. After calibrating their cannons, We may not be so lucky.

>>12876272

"Go get me- I mean, ah, capture, some traditional handguns for your technicians, would you? Every man ought to have a gun, even the techies."

rolled 4, 4, 1, 3, 10, 10, 3, 10, 10, 1, 2, 10 = 68

>>12876283
"Thats a little close for comfort, better keep moving."

>Move full movement, NW, fire all guns on lead tank on right.
>Droid on Right to follow suit, fire at other tank if possible, if not, same target
>Droid on left to move NW full, staying on L2, fire on column of tanks on left side
[First 4 dice = my actions, next = droid on right, final 4 = droid on left]

rolled 8, 6, 7 = 21

>>12876283

"Well shit. SERPENTINE PEOPLE."

"Okay, Pidgeon, go jump down on those tanks to the left. See if you can't use one as a projectile against those Anti-Air tanks."

"BiTanks, Marauders, hang right, try to get as close to the pipeline as possible. I don't think the bots will be willing to fire if you stick close to it."

"Iron, stay right as well. Fire some rockets at those artillery quads."

"Apollo, fire at the anti-air tank squadron. Then move back East to your prior position and prepare to give covering fire for Pidgeon."

"Full speed ahead!"
>Forward for full. Run please.

>>12876314
"EAT IT TIN CANS!"

>>12876272

Wolf's squad runs into the factory.
R00 activates her capture program:


> Accessing builds
>Accessing command protocols
>Factory severred from 666 protocol.


>It would seem that this factory is capable of building the enemy forces local to this battle, however the schematics is lost on us, save for our model of units, and the pre-bipedal hovertanks.

>Factory has 12 production points.

>>12876338
>I missed a session, who is 00? Is that maid bot still?

rolled 7, 10, 10, 10, 5, 5, 6, 8, 3 = 64

>>12876283
"That artillery looks pretty nasty, command. Rockets, AWAY!"

>Move 8 squares NORTH and ascend to height L6. Rolls are for 3 rockets from self and each drone- left drone, then self, then right drone. First 5 rolls are targeted at the left artillery, last 4 at the right.
>If we don't have line of sight to the artillery because of the wall(?) in the way, then 3 rockets at each of the wall guns(?) instead.
>Do rockets really only move at 6 squares per round, because damn, that's like 5 rounds of being in flight. The battle might well be over by then.

rolled 4, 10, 6 = 20

>Question why/what is the m next to my guns range?
>Moves NE full as close to the pipeline as possible firing on the largest cluster of enemies if any are in range

>>12876289
"Will do, Major. Will do."

>>12876338
"Do we need to leave someone behind to keep the structure capped?"

>>12876342

Yes, although after High Command came and started yelling at us, her creepy factor doubled after she was used to deliver us a message.

>>12876377

"Oi, Major! We got 12 build-points to play with!"

rolled 10, 3, 10 = 23

"Orbital, requesting data on full constructive capabilities of the factory. Hmmm... Maybe we can get some artillery on their heads."

"Also, requesting a single Skimmer for transport of Wolf Squad."

"Apollo, continue your movements, but re-target to attack some of those hovertanks nearby."

>>12876418

"You want to stick me into a glorified, flying tin-can? Oh god! We are all gonna die!"

>>12876435

"What? No, you're just going to use it to jump around the battlefield like some crack-fiend. Have fun shooting from the windows. Remember, you've got two anti-armor bots with you."

>>12876443

Feels like Imperial Chimera-HQ-Vets in here. ;)

>>12876449

"My sentiments exactly."

Action Phase Over.

We have acquired our first factory. Out of the 4 that is on the field, this represents a significant portion of a robotic army's strength: Mass production.

>Unfortunately it is 5 and I am fading. I will take an 6-8 hour sleep break. See you all in the morning.

Pause.

Resume at
12:00-1:00 pm SUnday

>>12876493

"And we cut to break. Alright team, see you in the morning/afternoon, depending on your local time slot. And if you don't show up... well then, I guess I get to bot you. Only time I get to roll, but it's more fun if you guys are here."

>>12876493
>Understandable, I'll do my best to be here for it

And archived. Go pass out, people.

>Bumping in anticipation of awesome

>>12879310
"Read some AARs when you get the chance, Wolf. Here's the specs on my ride for now, though; if you meant something else you'll have to find it yourself."

"Wolf in a Predator? No, he's gettin a speeder transport. Haven't been in one myself so I couldn't tell ya."

>>12879449
>>12879419

"Yeah. Don't trust me with a flyer. I'd probably ram it into a rock or something."

"Ah, damn. Fell asleep getting my sound track in order and missed the start of the fight. Guess I'll just play TA till I can get a drop in."

>>12879529

"Just walk out of the command ship"

>>12879529
"I recommend piloting some armor, since we're facing mostly enemy armor this time around."

>>12879529

I'm here. You want a vehicle, or you want to walk out of the ship?

>Bump

>>12879628

"Oh hell yes I'll take a vehicle. Skimmer preferably. I'm sure I can figure out how to actually pilot it the hard way."

By the way, thanks for putting up with my shitty timing guise, I appreciate it !

In return I shall present to you with an epic problem.

>>12879766
Can it be solved with guns? or a BiTank?

>>12879751

>They are called Striders officially . It took me a while to realize what you meant for skimmers.

"That is entirely MY BAD. Even though I was TOLD that they were called Striders, for some retarded-ass reason, I've been referring to them as Skimmers."

>Bumpin again

>>12879962

You're used to having these quests staying afloat with a shitton of posts, aren't you?

>>12880005
You know it.
Plus this gives late risers a chance to hop in.

>Good luck boys, specially you Major. I have no clue what you'll be able to pull of with the Md squad since I seem to have moved them farther east then I intended. But I need to head out.

>>12880076

Can't stay? Alright. Also, Your position is good; closer to the pipeline, the better it is. Bots probably won't fire on us at that position. Hopefully.

>>12880092
Yeah, way its looking is that I'll be drawing a lot of fire.
Just as planned, right?

also, lets hope my dice stay hot
[hitting with everything on that volley from myself was a nice surprise]

ANYMORE OF KIDS WILLING TO GROW A PAIR AND BECOME MEN?!?!

>I'd love to stay but if I don't help clean deer I get no meat this year. Even though two of em I shot myself.

>>12880141

Isn't that the rule? You kill it, you clean it?

ALRIGHT, GIVE ME A HEAD COUNT, PEOPLE.

ALL ACTIVE SOLDIERS AND INCOMING RECRUITS, SOUNDS OFF!

>>12880206
"Still in my BiTank, sights on enemies, sir!"

>Yes and thats done at the spot, seems I misstyped what I intended to say. Meant cutting up and preparing the meat into steaks, ground, sausage, and jerky. Either way I'm outta commission for a few hours. If yall are still around when I get back I'll see you then if not untill next time.

"Dr. Warsaw, reporting sir. Just trying to figure out how to make this Strider work."

>>12880206
"Still here, boss."

Reporting!

ALRIGHT KROOTS WE MANAGED TO ACQUIRE INDUSTRIAL ASSETS ON PLANET SIDE, SO THAT MEANS WE HAVE A LOT OF ARMOR TO PLAY AROUND WITH. BUT WE ARE ALL NOT MADE OF MONEY I'LL BE TAKING THE FIRST 5 OR SO PILOTS LUCKY ENOUGH TO SET FOOT WITH THIS BAD MOTHERFUCKERS ! COMMAND , UP TO YOU HOW YOU WANT TO ROLL THIS !

WHO OUT THERE IS MAN METAL ENOUGH TO HIT THIS ROCK CONCERT !

>>12880230

Just a note, Doctor, those Striders have a nitro function. Which means they can run. REAL FAST. Potentially across half the map.

>>12880269
"I'll stick with my BiTank command, Rifleman like myself likes the suppressing firepower."

>>12880262

GHOST! GOOD TO SEE YOU! NOW PICK YOUR VEHICLE, OR HUMP IT ON FOOT.

YOU CAN EVEN PICK THE APC BALL OF DOOM, WHICH WOULD BE REALLY FUN IF PIDGEON DECIDES TO THROW YOU ACROSS THE FIELD. IT WOULD BE JUST LIKE A DROP POD!

>>12880270

"Yeah the big red button with N printed on it is hard to miss. I'm just not sure how many uses I get out of it. How high can this thing jump anyway?"

>>12880303

No clue Warsaw, but I do know that horse is gonna be a fun ride.

PRESS IT! YOU KNOW YOU WANT TOOOO.
>And go fuck up those anti-air/artillery pieces in the back. Anti-air have the two little prongs sticking out of them, the artillery look like V's in boxes.

>>12880206

"Still trudging through the dirt, command!"

Looks at the pipe-exhausts.

"Command, this is Wolf, I have an idea!"

>>12880335

"Did you go investigate that bubble building yet? Also, I wouldn't recommend running in those things just yet. Heat might melt your skin off."

>>12880325

"That would be exactly why I picked it commander. Want me to take out the artillery first or the AA?"

Deploying in classic Bitank!

>>12880352

"Nah. I'm on my way tough! And yes it might melt my skin off but R00 has no skin!"

>>12880358

"Whichever you think will make the biggest, most satisfying boom."

>>12880381

"It also might cook off the Anti-Armor Droids' ammo."

"Wait a minute, didn't I requisition a Strider for your squad?"

>>12880382

"Artillery it is then. Just tell Irons to be careful till the AA guns are down."

>>12880397

"Bah. Give me a Hover-tank if you absolutely must, but I will not hang onto an engine with legs!"

"Can someone take down that remaining Anti Armor quad? I dont want to get gibbed before I get to the objective."

>>12880364

"Ghost, you're taking command of a BiTank squad, since those robot bastards are going to be throwing a lot of shit our way. As soon as you deploy, hit the ground running and blast any hostiles in your way!"

>>12880426

"Can do, Commander."

Somebody call for an exterminator?

"Callsign Krieg is active and ready for duty!"

"Did somebody say...armor?"

>>12880409
"Careful? And miss all the fun while you tankers clean up?"

>>12880513
>>12880516

"Glad to see some additional vets. You will be deployed in the next round."
>So OP doesn't have to draw a NEW map, and so we can decide what unit we need after the robot army does their damage.

"Krieg, Thunderbolt, good to see you!"

>This quest started right after I went to sleep last night :/

>>12880523

"Didn't say you shouldn't shoot shit. Just don't forget you're the only thing for those AAs to shoot at."

"We're gonna to drop a whole bunch of SURPRISE on those 'bots heads."

Yo dawgs can I join or do I gotta wait till the next thread? This looks like fun.

"Here's the general plan. Blue indicates proposed movement vectors; let me reiterate - whatever you do, DO NOT STOP MOVING. Red arrows indicate attack vectors, and the circles indicate targets that should be noted. Yellow circles are primary targets of interest that should be INVESTIGATED/captured. Green is a secondary target of opportunity."

Then maybe we can get that APC to pick up [R3] and have it thrown into the facility by our remaining Colossus. Watch out, the enemy may be getting reinforcements. And someone go cap that factory!"

"Damn, is it over? We haven't even gotten a chance to get our feet on solid ground yet!"

I have to pass out now. Some general orders.

1: I mount the Hovertank.
2: The Hovertank moves along line BLUE to the first FUP.
3: I and the 2 Rocketbots make an attackmove into the building.
If something of interest: Major Walker takes over control
else
4: Remount the Hovertank.
5: The Hovertank flat-outs down line RED to the second FUP.
6: I and R00 assault the building.
7: One Rocketbot hunts down line GREEN.
If 6 not possible: Ignore 7 and
8: Hovertank flat-outs across the map (line WHITE).
9: 1 Rocketbot, R00 and myself assault the Main-Complex (line ORANGE).
Delegate control over to Major Walker.

Technology on this scale has never been incorporated before.

"B.T.2 Ghost, I believe that the treads on that fortress tank are in fact it's weakness, s'how we've dealt with them before! S'just good luck gettin' close enough. Y'need friggin hoppers fer that!"

>Advance 4L forward in easiest path.

"Afraid, nothing. I'm out of rockets, down a drone, and anyone who builds a massive fucking thing like that fortress but doesn't put killer AA on it is even stupider than these guys seem. But here goes nothing."

"Bt3 is moving up between 2 & 4, will provide support as needed."

>Move 3L North, 1L NW

"Hold the line, Pidgeon. If they throw those fists, catch 'em."

>>12883767

"They've got wrecking balls for hands, Warsaw. That they can throw. Also, That big fortress might decide to take shots at you."

"[S1], feel free to move up to that building, then fire at will."

"[R3], mount up in the APC."

"[R00] and [R4], move up and disembark at that building so we can FINALLY figure out what it is."

>For [S1] and [R3], if they aren't here:
>[S1], move north full, taking cover in the building.
>[R3], mount [Ag1], then move full Northwest along the ridge.

>And for the other bots:

You can never be too sure. Plus, those things have like 5 health. At least ours do.

"Be ready to bail out at any minute. Judging by that thing's entry and that colossus I just fired on, they don't seem to have problems wrecking their own structures even when none of us are inside."

Action Phase Over.

R00 begins investigation of the derelict building.....
>>

The left side of the colossus is heavily damaged, Actions have been havled.

>aww, was referring to the colossus that just smashed the factory. Guess that's what I get for not being specific enough

>deal 18 damage to colossus with gatlings
>someone else was using bombs and shit too
>"left side damaged"

"God DAMN, but these things are tough!"

>>12883984

It would seem that within the building are old schematics of a one Doctor Reynolds Gryffin. Who went missing during the first Exalted Offensive. It would seem that designs for his self named Gryffin tank and a Quadrepedal artillery cannon that incorporates Battleship class Railgun technology is contained within.

Theory indicators say that they have an 80 percent chance of functioning correctly.....

Uploading schematics to BattleForge Mainframe for appraisal....

>>12884052

It would seem that nothing less than critically well places shots [2s] or Armor piercing rounds are having any desirable effect on its thick armor.

Alright I gotta call it a night, good luck with the rest of the fight guys.

>Sorry about missing the round, had to go unclog the bathroom and then clean that bitch up. But hey, at least my bathroom's shiny now.

"Roger that, sir, moving to the offensive, hope I'm not too late."

>>12884154

>Forgot your trip and name, recruit.

>>12884122
All right, see you around, Warsaw.

>>12884154

"Commlink failure sir, Mono here, moving north with the APCs."

>>12884122

Bye mate

Action Phase.

One of Hal's co pilots knocked out. He ejects in time.
