A good soldier obeys without question. A good officer commands without doubt. _{-The Tactica Imperialis}

In this game, you command a recently raised regiment. However, not only has the daunting task of commanding a regiment of an upward of ten thousand men been thrust in your care, many among your peers doubt your courage and faith. Not only must you seize victory, you must prove you and your men's heroism.

There are two parts of the game:

Spoiler: Basic Mechanics (click to show/hide)

The Commander:

You must plan the course of attack of each mission. You must be victorious, but you must not waste men. Your supplies are limited, and reinforcements are unlikely until your men begin proving the worth of your regiment.

You can choose to expend men to protect the Trooper during missions, becoming meatshields and cannon fodder for the Trooper. How much is entirely up to you. It's always a gambit; use too much, you'll have expended too many men. Too little, the Trooper will die without his duty done.

The Trooper:

Each update will introduce a random trooper. It hinges on his ability and heroics to change the tide of battle. You can command him to either survive or die gloriously. Surviving makes him a much better soldier and makes him a proper character, while dying gloriously uplifts the Bay Twelfth in the eyes of those in import.

The downside is, due to bad rolls and lack of support, in either option he can die ignominiously or flee like a coward. In either case, the trooper is wasted and the reputation of the Bay Twelfth is sullied.

Regiment Creation:

Spoiler: Regiment Choices (click to show/hide)

Homeworld:

• Hive World (Plenty of men at the start.)
• Forge World (Plenty of requisition at the start.)
• Death World (Less men at the start. Less cowardly.)
• Schola Progenium (Higher quality men. Very hard to replace.)
• Lost World (Their homeworld is gone forever. Most heroic, but cannot be replaced.)

Regiment Type:

• Line-infantry (More men at the start. Standard trench infantry.)
• Reconnaissance (Less men at the start. Less likely to take losses.)
• Armored Regiment (Most units will be tank units and maintenance crews.)
• Penal Legion (Constant, free influx of men. Very cowardly, but very expendable.)

Regiment Allocation:
(Allocate 10 points to determine the make-up of the regiment. Max 10, obviously.)
Command HQ: 0 (Your orders are better received by the men per each point, and loyalty increases.)
Commisariat: 0 (Determines the amount of political commisars assigned to you. Reduces cowardice and inspires heroism.)
Adeptus Ministorum: 0 (Increases the number of missionaries and priests. Their prayers confer blessings, and you'll be luckier.)
Adeptus Mechanicus: 0 (Determines the number of Enginseers to maintain vehicles. Adds and increases the chance to get better wargear.)
Adeptus Astra Telepathica: 0 (Determines the amount of Sanctioned Psykers you get. You can swap the randomly created trooper for a psyker.)
Departmento Munitorum: 0 (Increases the unreasonably low supplies and reinforcements you get.)

Quality: 0 (Makes men stronger of body and character.)
Quantity: 0 (Quantity is a quality all of its own, and increases the number of starting men.)

I was planning for this to be a suggestion game, but now this could very well be a game of intense regimental rivalry. Scratch the SG part, give your regiments names!

We shall die by glory! Not by negligence!

aaaahh ok I'm back.

We'll do this by threes, so Yourmaster's, BluarianKnight's, and adwarf's regiments will be deployed first.
