((What ya mean by pickets Ghaz? ))

[Ghazkull]

((Adwarf the Goddamn Guards at the Picket Line...the outernmost defense line of a camp. Aren't those called Pickets?))

[adwarf]

((Adwarf the Goddamn Guards at the Picket Line...the outernmost defense line of a camp. Aren't those called Pickets?))

((Erm ... no not at all :3 ))

"While its all well and good that I've been found anyone wanna help me get back to camp before the Xenos return and cook our hides?"

[mesor]

(( They were called pickets a long long time ago. Last time I remember that name being used was in Napoleons time though they normally go by sentry's now. ))

[Azthor]

Contact the Triumvirat for the price on the Cruiser's repairs.

[Taricus]

"...True. Still, keep the targetting data up to date, no dropping of the bombs right now. They get a nice rest for now..."

[Ghazkull]

Affirmative. Might i note several things Visitor? My Sensors have picked up signs of two frigates. Fully armed and ready. Both showing Church Signatures. If we are to open fire on Church Facilities, Mad Principles would kick in and they would in turn destroy House Nova facilities and leadership. Worse my Scans reveal that both Novan,Noble and Church Capitals are outfitted with Ground to Space Weapons. All are ancient, but my sensors pick up that they still work. They will activate once we attack them and that will be the end of us then.

I have gone through all posssible scenarios and barring extraordinaire circumstances the whole Dilemma would either end in the Annihilation of all parties or in the best circumstance leaving you and me alone alive. Estimated Damage on Cruiser will however be extensive and we will propably not be able to jump. If i can trust my databanks and that i normally can, custom enforces the Church to act on the Annihilation conducted with Force. In other words we would be stuck like sailors on a sinking ship in the midst of an ocean, while pirates close in on us.

I suggest you do not further pursue this course of action. Especially since my existence is threatened by that.

[Taricus]

"You raise half a good point. The other half I sort of knew. Better to wait until this ship is fully operational atleast."

[Ghazkull]

Azthor,Juras

The Triumvirate, being the Triumvirate first laugh at your question of repairing a cruiser. When they notice that you are entirely serious, they go silent for a moment. It takes a while before they get the foreman of the Hephaistos Shipyard, aswell as several Weapons Technicians and assorted other personnel together. The Repair or restoration of a Cruiser-Class ship is a massive undertaking apparently, and until teh complete Damage to be repaired has been surveyed by the Triumvirate they can give no actual price just estimations. And that estimations are huge!

20 Credits at least for the repair of the ship and flying to the triumvirate system will take at least a season, witht he repairs taking up another one. All in all the ship would be away for 3 seasons at best. Maybe just send the Custodian alone there?

___________________________________________

[6] Your men somehow manage to surrender before the encroaching Flamethrowers burn them to crisp. The Problem is, The Irregualrs start to execute them on the spot! [2] A Burning Commander is all that emerges from the tunnels, your men quickly douse him. he has however sustained heavy burns, reducing the number of your Commanders to two. You should be more careful with those men.
[3] You notice that your men start to grumble about you bad leadership and ask why the hell you are sending men to their deaths to surrender?

____________________________________________

Robert (( sorry nearly forgot you XP))

[2] None of your Crew can either decipher the language [5] but at least the Colony leaves you in peace as you travel past it. You Notice however several Defensive Sattelites...you really shouldn't mess with those guys.

Orbit around Planet I:
You reach the Planet, closer readings reveal not much new:
Gravity: Normal
Type: Oceanic
Atmosphere: TI (earth-like or better)

Moon I.1:
light Gravity
no Atmosphere
Frozen Carbon Dioxide Seas.

[mesor]

Place 5 men just inside the tunnel to alert me if anybody is closing in.
Order all of my men to take up positions in the trenches.
Send a message to all of my regiments.
"If I give the order be prepared to attack the militia on your flank, It will make sense later and you will all be rewarded richly for your sacrifice.

[Sheb]

Roim was busy talking with Aeverys when he noticed a commotion near the Irregulars' HQ. Rushing there, he soon understood what was going on. The tunnel led straight to Juras' section of the perimeter. That single, unarmed man must have been a messenger of some sort. Now, the Irregulars, in their bloodthirsty rage, where going to destroy his trump cards. He had to act quickly, or the defender would notice something fishy.

"Get me a signaller. I want a general attack right now according to the established plan: a general but prudent assault along all the perimeter by reserve units, with the regular army divised in 5 divisions attacking weak points. Hold the attack a bit on Juras' section. Get the Colonel of my guard to ready his men, we'll go by the tunnel. Send for Azthor, his power-armored regiment would be helpful supporting me in the tunnel. House Gard will stay with Aeverys.

You!" shouted Roim, pointing at one of his staff's NCO. Run in this tunnel and get those Irregulars back. We'll need them for the assault. You!" pointing at two of his bodyguards. Block this tunnel and prevent anyone from getting in. Having given his order, Roim started searching the corpse, looking for some kind of message.

Order an attack, militia all around and the real units attacking perceived weaker points.
Get the guards ready to swarm the tunnel.
Search Juras' messenger.

[10ebbor10]

Have the ship drop us off in a temperate area, possibly with some islands nearby, before maintaining a geocentrical orbit.

[Sheb]

((Also Ghaz, since this is one massive battle, involving many PC, it might be better to split it up in several sub-battles and run only a round or two at a time. Will be more fun methink.))

[Ghazkull]

((Hope you don't mind if i made 3 out of your 5 Divisions. It was easier manageable that way))

Battle in the Tunnels and the Center

[5] Your Man Manages to reach the Tunnel in time before the Irregulars start a larger assault. Already 5 Regiments have crowded into the Tunnel, most of them armed with flamethrowers...[5] HE somehow manages to calm Pick down, who numbly leaves the tunnel with his men, mumbling about damn Mercs. [4] He then manages to establish contact with Juras Regiments.

[?] The whole commotion seems to go by unnoticed by the Defenders. Getting your Power-Armored Regiments ready you and Azthor head into the Tunnels waiting for the sign of Juras.

[mesor]

(( So I'm alive but all 4 regiments of my men are dead? ))

Locate Roim and then approach him and drop to one knee lowering my head respectfully.
"My lord I am glad you made it, I am at your service but unfortunately my infantry was destroyed holding the enemy back long enough for your men to attack from the tunnels. And my artillery was lost shortly after while supporting the assault on the left flank so I have no forces left to continue the assault, I await your command if you have any task for me.
I would humbly request that you send some men to search the positions where my men died for survivors some of my men may yet be saved.
