Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:02 PM):
*LOL
*Sure
Armos says (1:02 PM):
*i wanna start getting involved in this stuffs
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:02 PM):
*actually you know
*if you'd like
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:03 PM):
*we could try RPing a simple conflict this way
*want to use Statecraft factions and tech?
Armos says (1:03 PM):
*such as?
*uhm, sure?
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:03 PM):
*OK
*so
*what kind of scenario do you think would test this system the best
*?
Armos says (1:03 PM):
*uhm....idk
Armos says (1:04 PM):
*Explain what YOU mean by scenario
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:04 PM):
*Well
*what kind of battle?
*Naval? Aerial?
*Ambhibious assault?
*Attacking a city?
*Just winning territory?
Armos says (1:04 PM):
*you pick
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:04 PM):
*How about this
Armos says (1:04 PM):
*i has no preferance
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:04 PM):
*We're securing a road to a major Imperial city
Armos says (1:04 PM):
*ok
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:05 PM):
*the Empire is on the defence but has no prepared position here and must move to protect.
*I'll draw a map now.
Armos says (1:05 PM):
*ok
*Go ahead
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:05 PM):
*Thank you so much for helping me out
Armos says (1:06 PM):
*no problem
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:06 PM):
*I really should test these ideas before putting them into natpols lol
Armos says (1:06 PM):
*Make it BIG!
*lol
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:08 PM):
*Mmmmm
*so
Armos says (1:08 PM):
*so?
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:08 PM):
*Your units have to advance across a river to take Hill 100, which, if you take it, wins the mission for you.
*My job is to defend Hill 100
*make sense?
Armos says (1:08 PM):
*ok
Armos says (1:09 PM):
*do we continually redraw on the map?
*or just use it as a rferance
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:10 PM):
*Use it as a reference
Armos says (1:10 PM):
*ok
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm sends:
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:12 PM):
*Note red = highway, and where it crosses the river is a bridge.
*
* Transfer of "ArmosTestBattle.PNG" is complete.

Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:12 PM):
*Black represents slopes
*not cliffs, tho
Armos says (1:12 PM):
*ok
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:12 PM):
*so for instance it'll be harder to get up the bank of the river on those black things on my side
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:13 PM):
*those would be banks of earth bulldozed into position
Armos says (1:13 PM):
*grey is mountain?
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:13 PM):
*Yep
Armos says (1:13 PM):
*and dark green- forrest
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:13 PM):
*which would of course be effectively impassable
*and yep
*Forest is relatively thick, nothing Amazonian but restricts tank movement
Armos says (1:13 PM):
*but foot soldiers are fine?
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:14 PM):
*Foot soldiers would move through with minimal (but present) impediment
Armos says (1:14 PM):
*alright
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:14 PM):
*So
*resources present
*let's make it equal for fairness purposes
Armos says (1:14 PM):
*ok
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:14 PM):
*this area is far inland so the navy plays no part
Armos says (1:14 PM):
*Airforce is null
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:15 PM):
*and let's give ourselves minimal air cover. yeah.
*Say this is a relatively backwoods engagement.
Armos says (1:15 PM):
*mhmm
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:15 PM):
*Now
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:16 PM):
*I'll deploy three units of mechanized infantry, two tank groups, and a heavy tank group.
*(where Group = four tanks)
Armos says (1:16 PM):
*Mechanized infantry?
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:16 PM):
*Infantry with APCs.
Armos says (1:16 PM):
*ok
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:17 PM):
*and an artillery grouping.
Armos says (1:18 PM):
*I'll deploy 5 battalions of Infantry (lets say 50 men for test sakes) 2 groupings of tanks, and artillery group and a sniper corp (10 snipers)
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:18 PM):
*All righty.
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:19 PM):
*Tanks are mediums?
*so
Armos says (1:19 PM):
*yes
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:20 PM):
*ARKHOVI-KANEN EMPIRE
5x Dullcoats [Multiple weapons present]
3x APC group (each carries one unit of the Dulls)
2x Wolverine Group [Med. Tank]
1x Lion Group [Hvy. Tank]
1x Cobra Group [Artillery]
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:21 PM):
*IRONHULL EMPIRE
5x Infantry
2x Medium Tank Groups
1x Artillery Group
1x Sniper Team Group
*See I dunno if that's quite fair, I brought a huge tank advantage and have more units
Armos says (1:21 PM):
*damn, stuck as Ironhull again lol
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:22 PM):
*let's just give you 4x medium tanks
Armos says (1:22 PM):
*but think about if
*If i can disable your movement
*Your tanks would be stuck on your side of the river
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:22 PM):
*This is true
Armos says (1:23 PM):
*Let my artilery rain down heavenly goods
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:23 PM):
*ROFL
*so you'll stick with 2?
Armos says (1:23 PM):
*You dont need to out gun your enemy, just out think them
*yes
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:23 PM):
*ok
*So let's begin.
Armos says (1:23 PM):
*you start
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:24 PM):
*I'll deploy my artillery at the top of Hill 100. Their crews begin getting ready to fire when needed.
*Lion group also holds that position and will act as a reserve when called in.
*Wolverines advance up the road and aim to get behind the cover up there; they're to hold the river.
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:25 PM):
*APCs with Dullcoats present follow them to assist in that defence.
*The remaining Dullcoats stay with my reserve.
*End turn one.
*Your move.
*(also I suggest drawing in where units are on your map).
Armos says (1:27 PM):
*Sniper team is deployed behind cover on the northern ridge
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:28 PM):
*<One thing. I think we can agree that I wouldn't notice your snipers getting into position, but my tanks will be very obvious if you're listening at all.>
Armos says (1:28 PM):
* Four units of infantry move into western forest and behind cover of the hill
*<agreed>
Armos says (1:30 PM):
*artillery group spits up, (lets say 10 to a group) 7 head onto ridge west of the mountain, 3 stay behind forests
Armos says (1:31 PM):
*Tanks are outside of Forest
*End Turn
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:31 PM):
*Your tanks are in the open, then.
Armos says (1:32 PM):
*yes, but "hidden" behind hill
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:32 PM):
*OK, so further back
Armos says (1:32 PM):
*<with three L's mind you
*yes
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:33 PM):
*Interesting
*I think we'll be foils
*xD
*So suddenly I notice that I can't see anything
*realizing that there must be enemy forces here, I must turn to scouting.
Armos says (1:33 PM):
* or that enemy is "not present in battle"
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:34 PM):
*Wolverines move to cover the river and part of the forest. They've taken the banks of earth and are now in defensive cover.
Armos says (1:34 PM):
*<northern banks?>
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:34 PM):
*A unit of mech-infantry deals with the north of the river and the bridge area, and another deals with the south of the river and part of the forest area.
*<They're on my side of the river still.>
Armos says (1:35 PM):
*<ok>
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:35 PM):
*I'd like to roll a recon check on the dust and noise produced by those tanks.
Armos says (1:35 PM):
*ok
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:35 PM):
*Can we agree on there being no modifier?
Armos says (1:35 PM):
*yes
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:36 PM):

Total:20
*HARHAE!

**HAR
Armos says (1:36 PM):
*ok Reccadoat
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:36 PM):
*So a REALLY sharp tank commander checks his periscope and notices what's going on there
*It's a long shot, but I'm going to roll for an artillery attack on your medium tanks.
*The hill represents cover, so I'm going to go with a -2 modifier.
*Is this acceptable?
Armos says (1:37 PM):
*yes
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:37 PM):
*Roll(1d20)-2:
14,-2
Total:12
*So I have some mediocre success.
*At least a couple of tanks are taken out by direct hits, and perhaps a couple lose treads. However, your units are still capable of fighting with effectiveness.
Armos says (1:38 PM):
*alright
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:38 PM):
*All units reinforce their positions. Dullcoats on the hill turn to face the forest and deploy a machine gun nest.
*End turn two.
Armos says (1:39 PM):
*Alright
Armos says (1:40 PM):
*Sniper team on the ridge call in coordinates of the bridge to the 3 artillery behind the hill. Artillery fires on bridge. Any mods to roll?
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:41 PM):
*+2. Accurate fire.
*Rolling now.
*You're attacking the bridge itself?

Armos says (1:42 PM):

Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:43 PM):
*KK
Armos says (1:43 PM):

*Further tanks destroyed. Units are starting to lose effectiveness.
Armos says (1:44 PM):
*ok
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:45 PM):
*The fire on the bridge was accurate enough that something must be calling in information.
*A small number of infantry begin moving across the river.
*Recon check on snipers: large negative modifier since they're well-hidden?
*How does -4 sound
Armos says (1:45 PM):
*yes
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:45 PM):

Armos says (1:46 PM):

Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:46 PM):
*One unit of Dullcoats, supported by the mechanized infantry, begins moving into the southern forest on my side of the river.
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:47 PM):
*There's no way they'll spot your forces at this time.
*End turn.
Armos says (1:48 PM):
*Snipers once again call in information on a tank group position to 3 artillery units, They fire when ready

*That's going to hurt!
*Several tanks are annihilated completely and the unit loses fighting effectiveness.

**west?

Armos says (1:50 PM):

Armos says (1:51 PM):
*Last two groups of infantry move into central forest
*First 3 units of infantry meet at river
*end turn 3
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:51 PM):
*Let's both roll for initiative. If I get a higher number, my troops get the drop on you.
Armos says (1:51 PM):
*ok
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:51 PM):
*Or you, if you roll higher.
*AKE: 7; Ironhull: 17
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:52 PM):
*IH infantry get to move first, so I get a negative modifier in the infantry engagement in the woods
Armos says (1:52 PM):
*Estimated Damage:
*ok
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:52 PM):
*but I also have a heavy machine gun with me from the mecha unit.
*but you have higher numbers (3 v 2).
*so
*all in all
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:53 PM):

Armos says (1:53 PM):
*wow
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:53 PM):
*The machine gun does keep you back enough to prevent you totally whooping my forces, but I lose several men in the suprise attack.
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:54 PM):
*I withdraw to slightly better defensive positions.
*Now, I don't have anything even approximating good intel on your troops
*so I'm going to fire indiscriminately at anything around the river in the forest with artillery.
Armos says (1:54 PM):
*ok
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:54 PM):
*can we agree on a -1 modifier due to moderate cover?

*Meanwhile, at the river, because we've come under artillery fire that our cover obviously isn't going to protect us against,
*infantry and remaining Wolverines ford the river in the northern sector, fanning out and searching for the scouts that've begun calling in artillery fire.
*They also do this in the more southerly sector.
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:57 PM):
*Lion tanks descend from the hill and prepare to follow their smaller brothers.
*Dullcoats on the hill move down to support the forest.

*i lost some snipers.. which should be released unless they were executed

*i has no preferance
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:04 PM):

Armos says (1:04 PM):

Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:05 PM):
*Thank you so much for helping me out

Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:08 PM):
*Mmmmm
*so
Armos says (1:08 PM):
*so?
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:08 PM):
*Your units have to advance across a river to take Hill 100, which, if you take it, wins the mission for you.
*My job is to defend Hill 100
*make sense?
Armos says (1:08 PM):
*ok
Armos says (1:09 PM):
*do we continually redraw on the map?
*or just use it as a rferance
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:10 PM):
*Use it as a reference
Armos says (1:10 PM):
*ok
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm sends:
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:12 PM):

*Black represents slopes
*not cliffs, tho
Armos says (1:12 PM):
*ok
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:12 PM):
*so for instance it'll be harder to get up the bank of the river on those black things on my side
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:13 PM):
*those would be banks of earth bulldozed into position
Armos says (1:13 PM):
*grey is mountain?
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:13 PM):
*Yep
Armos says (1:13 PM):
*and dark green- forrest
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:13 PM):

*and yep
*Forest is relatively thick, nothing Amazonian but restricts tank movement
Armos says (1:13 PM):
*but foot soldiers are fine?
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:14 PM):
*Foot soldiers would move through with minimal (but present) impediment
Armos says (1:14 PM):
*alright
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:14 PM):
*So
*resources present
*let's make it equal for fairness purposes
Armos says (1:14 PM):
*ok
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:14 PM):
*this area is far inland so the navy plays no part
Armos says (1:14 PM):
*Airforce is null
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:15 PM):
*and let's give ourselves minimal air cover. yeah.
*Say this is a relatively backwoods engagement.
Armos says (1:15 PM):
*mhmm
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:15 PM):
*Now
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:16 PM):

Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:22 PM):
*let's just give you 4x medium tanks
Armos says (1:22 PM):

*Let my artilery rain down heavenly goods
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:23 PM):

Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:23 PM):
*ok
*So let's begin.
Armos says (1:23 PM):
*you start
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:24 PM):
*I'll deploy my artillery at the top of Hill 100. Their crews begin getting ready to fire when needed.
*Lion group also holds that position and will act as a reserve when called in.
*Wolverines advance up the road and aim to get behind the cover up there; they're to hold the river.
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:25 PM):
*APCs with Dullcoats present follow them to assist in that defence.
*The remaining Dullcoats stay with my reserve.
*End turn one.
*Your move.
*(also I suggest drawing in where units are on your map).
Armos says (1:27 PM):
*Sniper team is deployed behind cover on the northern ridge
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:28 PM):
*<One thing. I think we can agree that I wouldn't notice your snipers getting into position, but my tanks will be very obvious if you're listening at all.>
Armos says (1:28 PM):
* Four units of infantry move into western forest and behind cover of the hill
*<agreed>
Armos says (1:30 PM):
*artillery group spits up, (lets say 10 to a group) 7 head onto ridge west of the mountain, 3 stay behind forests

Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:31 PM):
*Your tanks are in the open, then.
Armos says (1:32 PM):
*yes, but "hidden" behind hill
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:32 PM):
*OK, so further back
Armos says (1:32 PM):
*<with three L's mind you
*yes
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:33 PM):
*Interesting
*I think we'll be foils
*xD
*So suddenly I notice that I can't see anything
*realizing that there must be enemy forces here, I must turn to scouting.
Armos says (1:33 PM):
* or that enemy is "not present in battle"
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:34 PM):
*Wolverines move to cover the river and part of the forest. They've taken the banks of earth and are now in defensive cover.
Armos says (1:34 PM):
*<northern banks?>
Redcoat the Silfesh: Strong Arm says (1:34 PM):
*A unit of mech-infantry deals with the north of the river and the bridge area, and another deals with the south of the river and part of the forest area.
*<They're on my side of the river still.>
Armos says (1:35 PM):

*It's a long shot, but I'm going to roll for an artillery attack on your medium tanks.
*The hill represents cover, so I'm going to go with a -2 modifier.
