The queen had recieved enough acceptance of her proposition for tactical wargames for her to begin preparing for them, when the other nations arrived they would recieve their instructions and learn of their objectives.

OOC: each wargame will occur in a seperate storyline so that more than one wargame may occur without interfering with the others, think of the different storylines as dimensions if you like, the wargames will be live fire but since this is in another "dimension" then all casualties will be "resurrected" at the end of combat. Please post all other OOC in the interest thread.

The MiliRep assigned to get the information for the wargame.
"So what are the rules, goals and mission perameters for these games?"

The MiliRep assigned to get the information for the wargame.
"So what are the rules, goals and mission perameters for these games?"

In the first round the objective will be for the attacking forces to penetrate the hive and destroy the queen, the second round will involve a capture the queen objective and the third round is destroy the hive, after the first phase the roles will be reversed, with the assaulting forces defending their homelands and the missions will have similar objectives, the first will be destroy the capitol, the second will be to captutre the nations capitol at least 40% intact, and the last will be the complete destruction of the nation.

The defenders objective is of course to prevent this from occuring, each completed objective is worth one point for the assaulting team, each failed objective is worth one point for the defenders, at the end of the two phases will be a battle royale, with handicaps imposed on the nations with the least points, if a nation completes the enemies objective for it the enemy still gets a point, if the enemy fails due to their own stupidity the defender gets a point, it's pretty simple. If the defender causes the enemy to fail but also fails in their defensive objective then neither team gets a point, and the game is replayed until one side is clearly victorious.

The MiliRep sent a message to the other competitors, "So which of us should go first, or should we tag-team them?"

It seems that you are to take the first assault alone, since they have not responded to your query, you may wait a while longer if you wish, but we had hoped that the games would begin today.

The Shining Host would be glad to work with you. However we need to purchase the weapons we discussed first

15 wings of Vertol attack craft lifted off and streaked toward the Sliver land, each wing spliting off just short of the border to destroy the towers as assigned as well as wiping out the airborne slivers.

ooc: one wing/tower

The Dwarven army of Luruar approches the remains of the towers and prepares to enter

Any intellagence about the enemy weapony?

Allister Moonbow
Lord Commander of the Shining Host

As the enemy planes neared the hive-towers their defenders vaulted into the air, Winged slivers and flame slivers that were the standard air defenses and a portion of the towers defending muscle slivers all rose into the sky to destroy the invaders, and while the enemies would be able to fire on them from ranges much greater than those from which they could retaliate they were few in number and the slivers were many, as they reached 100 yards they would attack with their flames and as the planes went past they would lash out with their talons to grip and rend the enemy forces.

The queen was aware of the attack and she had scrambled her airborne troops to deal with the enemy but now that the first wave was up it was time for a greater play, the metallic slivers were awakened and released, they were the only slivers with conventional weapons, a chest mounted 20 mm chain gun and a single missile each, they were the true fighters in most air battles but they required great energy to operate and spent most of their time charging from the reactor slivers, now they would prove their worth.

The metallic slivers spread their plated wings and shot into the sky, they were each a rather large creature, each was the size of a stratofortress, and there were only twenty of them, they would be used to eliminate the enemies around the main tower and those that survived would spread and assault the remaining planes, the hive would survive, the queen would survive.

The Shining Host saw the increadable Shining Silver and opened fire with thier Seige Weapony at the Great Beasts

It's all their talons, they're the only weapons they need, they melee and they destroy, since my guns have yet to arrive they're not equipped with any ranged weapons.

The Shining Host saw the increadable Shining Silver and opened fire with there Seige Weapony taking down 5 of the beast

dude godmod, I decide casualties, not you.

The Brave and tough drawves then preceeded to enter the opeanings and face the overwhelming size and number of the enemy with pure ferocity and strength

OOC: sorry first RP battle

As the ground forces throught both air and land transport vehicles, the MiliRep sent a message to the LC of the SH "The hostiles utilize body based weapons, claws, fangs primarily."

The Vertol flight commander grinned at the idea of basically large birds hoping to challenge a Vertol, "Wing commanders, hostiles inbound from the towers. Have your men take out those bugs."
Each Vertol pilot tapped a button, weapons locks aquiring on the slivers before missles blasting out.

ooc: each wing is 15 Vertols, there are 15 wings and each one is launching 4 missles.
Will be gone for about 30-45 minutes

The enemy wings were closing on their towers as they fired their missiles at the defending slivers, the wings only fired sixty missiles each and the spacing between the slivers was such that only one sliver fell to each missile, and sixty slivers from a 500 strong cluster is very few indeed, only the winged slivers were hit by the missiles and sixty were lost from each cluster, but the fact that there were 500 in each cluster made that a relatively minor loss, and the muscle slivers were unscathed, the enemy was doomed now.

The slivers continued to rush towards the enemy at their top speed, which was rather fast for biological creatures, nearly reaching mach 1 for extended flights, and capable of breaking the sound barrier for short periods, they had but one purpose, the deaths of the planes that would destroy their queen and eradicate the hive.

The metallic slivers were behind the others in the air but as a result none were killed in the first salvo, and their greater speed allowed them to overtake the winged slivers and come to grips with the enemy sooner, firing their single missile as soon as they had a lock, the missiles were biological weapons, when the reached a certain proximity to another plane they would be drawn to it by the bio-electric magnets embedded in their bodies, the weapons would then awake and begin to rend the plane like a terrier shaking a rat, twenty planes were almost assuredly doomed. The metallic slivers then opened fire with their guns in an effort to destroy some of the enemy before they could shoot back.

OOC: sorry first RP battle

It's alright, you just have to allow others to react to your actions, not decide what their reactions are, you'll get the hang of it.

OOC: sorry I missed that post.

IC:

The dwarves were approaching the ground floor of the tower and many of the defenders were in the air trying to stop the planes from destroying the towers. 700 defenders remained in each tower and they would fight most fiercely soon enough. The first slivers to issue forth were the mindwhip slivers, followed by the ranks of the muscle slivers and the interspersed support units, the spined, talon, bladed, acidic, mnemonic, clot, and plated slivers, the dwarves would never know what hit them, as a single creature the 700 remaining defenders surged towards the enemy with malice in their hearts.

The Brave Drawves were swarmed by the enemy. They then formed a battle hardened double wedge formation to face the threat. Even so losses were heavy. They called for support from the swordsmen and battlemages left above.
The battlemages let loose a barrage of fireballs and lightingbolts then the Knights in Silver and Elves of the Moonwood jumped down to join the battle

Occ: The nights in silver number about 500 per tower the elves about two hundred and the battle mages about 24 per tower. oh and the dwarves are only from mithral hall.

OOC: you're going to melee with slivers, you're out of your mind... I like you kid you got guts.

The slivers were thrown against the enemy formation, the slaughter at first was fierce, within seconds it became worse by an order of magnitude, the first slivers out of the hive had been mindwhip slivers and their deaths caused an instant transformation among the troops, where before there had been simple malice and hatred of those who would harm the queen there was now a feral rage that posessed each sliver like a demon, they now fought like animals, not caring for wounds they sufferd or wether or not they even lived or died, their only purpose was to kill those that had slain their brethren and destroy those who would threaten the hive.

The muscle slivers seemed to grow and swell to extreme proportions under the effects of the mindwhip slivers deaths, the talon slivers, normally quite fast, now moved with a speed unseen by any who were still alive to tell of it, the normally slow and relatively calm mnemonic slivers grew swift and enraged, charging towards their enemies without thought to their own safety, the bladed slivers however wre the most frightening, they were normally strong, fast and deadly, now they seemed as blurs upon the battlefield, a set of whirling dervishes that sped through the enemy like a scythe, cutting with their blades and raging upon the enemy like rabid bears, or enraged boars, a unstoppable force that had yet to find an immovable object.

The overlord was stirring beneath the Hive-tower, the forces above were being attacked by mages and elves, the overlord was rising...

The situation is desprite. Elven archer shot from above but it's still not enough. In despriation the mages summon devils from the nine hells to fight the flood of enemys. The mages then inacted a enlarged Prismatic Sphere to protect the force from the slivers and devils both. Any who touched the sphere died one of seven painful faiths

The devils sythed tru the enemy forces killing by the dozen.

The Vertols each preformed a 180 degree turn as the rear mounted cannons opened up on the slivers. The Vertols deployed mulitple decoys, flares and heat spikers. The Vertols hit the engines to open a greater distance before returning to engage the slivers again.

The infantry forces, both ground transported and air transported hit the border and headed into sliver territory.

The Lord Commander then sent a urgent message to the Milirep of Theao " Help situation in the tunnels desprate need support and new weapony we aggred to buy" The messanger then flew like the wind on his pegasus mount in search for the MiliRep.

The dwarves of Citadel Adbar, Citadel Felbarr and Sunabar arrived and rushed to the defence of there dying kin.

OOC: about another 4000 dwarves

MiliRep sent the rider back to the commander.
"Forces inbound. Weapons what weapons?"

ooc: The MiliRep would have no idea what your talking about. He is a military liason, has nothing to do with procurment/trade deals.

The Lord Commander read the message with much relief.He sent a message back" We await your arrival"
ooc: opps that didn't occur to me

With the arrival of thier kin the dwarves rallyed and with the battlecry of "Moridin!!" charged back into combat. They where led by mages who first banished the remaining devils then cast webs of lighting and great balls of fire ahead of them

As the ground forces reached maxmimum engagment range the MiliRep sent a message to the commander, "Please withdraw as do not wish to kill your people with our attacks."

The Lord Commander relayed the message down to the tunnels. The humans and elves withdrew but the dwarves sent back this reply "bah! no Dwarf ever runs from a battle" The Lord Commander then relayed the message to the MiliRep

The Lord Commander sent this message to the MiliRep "The Dwarves won't leave. Aim High."

As the field commander watched the humans and elves fall back but the dwarves stay put, "Damn those idiots," To the messenger "Get those damn dwarves to fall back, tell them to advance to the rear, I don't care just get them out of there."

The Lord Commander received the message. He sent this message to the dwarf commander "In the name of your kings retreat you can go back in afterwards. I repeat retreat." The Dwarves finally started to fall back

The Lord Commander then sent the following message to the MiliRep " The Dwarves are falling back. but they wish to go back in to finish the fight."

As the dwarves started to fall back the FC tapped a command on the TCV ordering the forces to open fire. As the order was received, the guns opened up almost at once, the combined volume of fire arcing out to smash both into the base of the pillar as well as into the rear ranks of the slivers. The rifle fire alone would have been bad enought but the AI(anti-infantry) artillery rounds scythed into the slivers, the white phosphrous catching fire and burning into the flesh of the slivers.

ooc: phosphrous burns until out, can't be put out

The Lord Commander Approched the FC "Thanks for saving our asses out thier. Where do you want us now? if you have any extra weapons I have some crossbowmen who can be of help."

ooc: we should wait for Mini

ooc: true

ooc: he's off line

The Vertols each preformed a 180 degree turn as the rear mounted cannons opened up on the slivers. The Vertols deployed mulitple decoys, flares and heat spikers. The Vertols hit the engines to open a greater distance before returning to engage the slivers again.

The infantry forces, both ground transported and air transported hit the border and headed into sliver territory.


The metallic slivers flew faster to close and fire upon the vertols, they had to stop them before they destroyed the pillars.

OOC: hah, willy-pete is for the weak, napalm's the way to go...

IC:

The muscle slivers were being flailed by the falling artillery and the rifles of the enemy, the plated slivers were mitigating the effect of the rifle fire but the artillery was slicing through their ranks.

The overlord was coming, he would be there soon, then his foes would die.

The last of the defenders from the tower were still pushing forward, trying to reach their enemy, only 200 were left but they were so enraged that they weren't stopped until they were dead, not even losing their limbs or getting horrible wounds to the chest and head was not enough to stop them, now they would close with the enemy and the enemy would die...

The Vertols preformed another 180 turn and opened up with 4 .50cal machine guns as well as 2 viper flak cannons.

The infantry waited until the slivers hit a certain distance before opening up with flamethrowers, machine guns and grenade launchers.
The CSHs (city seige howitzers) opened up on the base of the tower and began punching a hole in the base.

ooc: how could the slivers move without head and/or major chest parts?

OOC: ever seen a guy on PCP? It's like that only ten times worse, they're effectively dead but they won't "die" until unable to move, although losing the brain does "kill" them, so enough head damage will do the job.

IC:

The overlord had risen, the enemy was assaulting the tower and he was to stop them, he would not fail, at over twenty feet tall he was a monster, ancient even among the long lived slivers, neither he nor the queen ever stopped growing until their deaths and he was a true methuselah, over one thousand years old he was massive, smart and very deadly.

The muscle slivers struggled on, dismembered and disemboweled they crawled to the feet of their foes, they were nearly dead and would soon be very dead, because the acidic slivers were coming, the acidic slivers would cause immense casualties among their enemies, for their presence turned the blood of the fallen slivers into a powerful acid, eating through stone, steel, and skin with equal ease. The acidic slivers had been sheltered by the bodies of the muscle slivers and their time had come to have their vengeance on those who would kill the queen.

The bullets from the vertols .50 caliber guns sparked and jumped from the armored bodies of the metallic slivers, the slivers responded with something a bit heavier, opening fire with their heavy 30 mm chainguns and slowing down to increase the time they could fire on the enemy. The missiles they had fired were finally reaching the enemy planes and would soon latch on to destroy their foes and rend their bodies, the missiles would hit their attatchment range within three seconds and then there would be nothing the enemy could do to stop them.

The last of the muscle and acidic slivers had fallen moments before and a hole had finally broken through the thick walls of the tower, what emerged was a beast from a nightmare, a masive creature, five heads and arms on a single body, nearly thirty feet tall and nearly as broad it moved with a speed and grace that seemed impossible for a beast of that size, it covered the distance to the eemy in seconds and began tearing into them like an avenging god, spinning and whirling like a mad dervish, accepting it's own death and determined to kill as many as possible before it died, the overlord was here...

OOC: The five aspects of the overlord are muscle, bladed, acidic, talon, and plated, it has the abilities of each and is the commander of military forces for the hive, it stands thirty feet tall and nearly as many broad, it moves with an amazing speed, like an enraged grizzly, nothing that big should move that fast or be that graceful. It's big, no bigger than that, keep going, no bigger, look we're talking krakens and dreadnoughts for jewelry, it's BIG!!! I like the overlord, please don't kill him yet.

ooc: the only way for your 'overlord' to survive this battle is if it goes back underground as the entire army is going after one tower.

The Lord Commander stared at the collosial Overlord in a mixture of awe and fear "Lady Mystra, perserve us" he whispered before turning to his troops. "He's the size of a dragon we can handle him." He said,"Archers and crossbow men focus all fire on one head until it dies, then move on. Mages use all the Art you have to both attack and defend us. Everyone else, we fight with everything we have"
With the battlecry of "For the good of all goody folk" they charged the Overlord hoping the forces of Theao were following close behind.

ooc: the only way for your 'overlord' to survive this battle is if it goes back underground as the entire army is going after one tower.

OOC: You're wasting your spells on slivers, the crystaline sliver has an ability like that of the iron golem, cannot be effected by spells or abilities and the ability is transferred through their link to the rest of the hive.

"It appears the bugs have some armour so switch to Ap rounds."
As the order was given, the .50 cal guns began spitting out armour piercing rounds, capable of slagging a bradly in a couple rounds.

As the assault personnel continued to shred the slivers that tried to get up and personnel, supported by the ballistic artillery, the DF artillery continued to pound the tower and surround grounds leaving the MBT and MST* to deal with oversliver. The MBTs began targetting the heads as they fired, volleys of AP rounds headed for the various heads. As the MBTs engaged the heads the MSTs deployed thier brace spikes, targetted and fired each sending over 15,000 rounds a second at the overslivers body.

ooc: some of the missles would have gotten lost to the decoys and the missles are 'living creatures' correct.

OOC: I know what a metalstorm is, I tried to sell some under another SN, lemme guess, you read John Ringo? But those 15000 are the whole ammo for each tank, and it's less if you're using the 105 sabots instead of 40 mm explosive rounds so if he survives this he'll probably survive the rest(AKA Godzilla syndrome, 15000 won't kill him but one will). Yes, the missiles are "alive", in that they are biologically engeniereed as weapons and designed to kill planes \ choppers \ other air transports.

IC:

The Overlord rose to his full height, thirty feet and more, and let loose a bellow to shatter stone and make strong men quail in their boots and soil themselves. The Overlord was surounded by tanks, but he was not afrad, he had faced tanks before, he was being fired on by the tanks, but he was not afraid, he had been in combat before and been injured, the overlord feared nothing...

The troops were assembling, called by The Overlord they came, toxin slivers and flame slivers, clot and muscle, acidic and mnemonic, talon and bladed, spined and barbed, aromor and plated, hunter and mistform, brood and mindwhip, heart and ward and crystalline, they came to his call, ten thousand they numbered, and only at the first, their numbers continued to swell as the first boiled forth from the hive, a raging swarm with death on their minds and the power to deal it out, The Overlord was their master, and the name they laid upon him was death... and hell followed with him.

The first of the tanks fired, their first shots lacked the muzzle velocity to penetrate his armored shell, since they were the first shots of a metalstorm they had less velocity than most tank shells because they were closer to the end of the barrel when they were fired, the later rounds penetrated the first layer only to shatter upon his sub-cutaneous plates and heavier crest armoring, he was hurt but he lived, he had lost an arm in the first or second volley, not sure which, but he'd only lost an arm, he had four more where that came from and the lost one would grow back, it had before and surely would again. The overlord lashed out with his bladed talons and his five beaks, he had to destroy some of the tanks or he would not live much longer...

The Lord Commander looked and saw a swarm of enemy forces approching. "Forget the overlord. protect our allies." With a roar the brave Dwarves launched themselves at the enemy with the Knights in Silver right behind. They charge was led by the arrows and magic of the Elves of the moonwood and the spellguard and the battle was on in full fury.

As the new wave of slivers poured out of the holes in the tower, most put their by howitzer rounds, the infantry with the longer ranged weapons began pouring massed fire into the host.

As chunks where blasted out of the oversliver, it let loose a roar and began flailing with it's claws and heads. The nearest tanks where gutted by the claws or smashed by the heads. The MBTs began concentrating fire at the base of the necks, while the MSTs continued pounding the torso.

ooc: I learnt of the MetalStorm system from Ringo, thougth the system I'm using can fire continuosly for a minute, pumping out 1 million rounds in total.
Also the hive tower has to have collapsed by now.
As well you need to respond to the actions of my aircraft.

OOC: I thought you were shooting at the overlord with the .50's, I didn't realise it was the vertols shooting at the metallic slivers I like the sound of your new metalsorms, after this could you possibly design some that I could mount on a ground-pounder metallic sliver?. The hive tower looks like swiss cheese, not collapsd but soon will be, solid stone really isn't hurt that much by non-HEAT or sabot rounds, it's like three feet thick, only HEAT and sabot would penetrate, howitzers would pound through(I'm assuming you're just using HE contact and not HEAT or other heavier explosives) it but it'll take longer, which is why it's swiss cheese instead of rubble.

IC:

The AP rounds at first sparked and jumped off of the metallic slivers tough hides, then one found a weak point in the aromor, one metallic sliver was lost, another bullet flew into an intake and chewed up one of the engines, it was damaged but it could still fight and fly, not as fast or as well, but it could still do the job. The enemy were well within their range and they were firing their chainguns at max-RPM, nearly 4,000 to be exact, they would run out of ammo within five minutes at this rate of fire but they were also likely to destroy the enemy faster with the higher RPMs so it was worth it in the long run.

The missiles had finally reached lock-on range, their bio-electric magnets drew them towards an enemy plane unerringly, the enemy might destroy them but their would be no avoiding these weapons.

The overlord was mauled, his third arm (he's only lost two but they're numbered left to right 1-5, he already lost arm 5) was gone and he had lost a head, he was badly injured, his reinforcements were on the way but they might not make it to him if he did not fall back, but falling back was too much like giving up, instead he did something a bit different, his four remaining heads belched napalm like a biological vesuvius, horrible ropes of liquid flame, tearing into his foes like the whips of an avenging god or the very demons of hell, the flame stopped after just thirty seconds but thirty seconds was a lot of fire, enough to blanket everything within 100 yards in viscous gel of burning chemicals, his beaks dripped with strings of flame, slowly falling to the ground like drool, but much more deadly and much more volatile.

The front rank was cut down quickly, but that was fine, they were just drones, cannon fodder, the second rank lasted longer, making it 100 yards before dieing, the third made it even farther, nearly halfway to the enemy before dieing, the fourth rank finally reached the 100 yard mark from their embattled comander and their foes, the overlord was out of flammable chemicals, they weren't, tendrils of flame roared from the mouths of a hundred slivers, bathing everything in their range in napalm and death, the enemy tanks might survive but any infantry that crossed this patch of ground in the next hour would be horribly burned, most likely killed. As the reinforcements reached the overlord a command came from the queen, fall back to the tunnels, fight them there, wher their range advantage would be negated and their infernal artillery would be unable to fire, fight them in the confines of the hive and destroy them.

As the 'flaming gunk' poured out of the Oversliver it landed on and incinerated two brigades of infantry as well as partially melting the fronts of some of tanks. As the Slivers fell back the ground forces stayed put and began preparing for the decent into 'hell'.

As the bio-missles attempted to latch onto the Vertols, the electric fields that aid the craft preforme as well as they could began frying the organic missles. A couple of the missles managed to withstand the electrical output and latch on but the majority were fried.

ooc:
The 50 caliber guns have a rate of fire of 500-650 rounds per minute
How much would the MetSlivers weight?

OOC: A metal sliver is about the size of a WW2 stratofortress and about a third again as heavy, armored like a flying APC kind of, which is where most of the weight comes from, the engines are much like those found in the Harrier V-TOL jump-jet, lots of power for a big metal "plane".

So, my guns are chainguns, they fire about 4000 rounds a minute(like the shrike light ant-lander system from Ringo's books) and the metallic sliver has exactly one of them, they are 30 mm chainguns, they should be shredding your planes like tinfoil against a .22 or steel against a .50, but you haven't even acknowledged my fire or RPed a reaction to it, I RP a response to every action you take, mostly by sending out more troops, but that's beside the point...

IC:

The 8000 or so remaining slivers and the overlord were retreating in good order towards the remains of the tower, they had lost 2000 in the charge to break out the overlord and had now been ordered to defend the tunnels, they would do so to the best of their ability but the enemy would kill many of them before they got to the entrances to the hive and more would die inside the hive defending the queen.

The missiles that made contact without being fried began to move, they were alive, slivers grafted with jet engines, they were now awakening from their hibernation and their purpose after awakening was simply to kill anything they were in contact with(OOC: this caused some issues during testing, but we eventually got over it) and right now they were in contact with the vertols as they began to slash with their talons and stab with their heavy beaks at the vulnerable points they could reach from the points where they were anchored to the planes.

The metallic slivers were taking heavy fire and not enjoying it, three more had been dropped but some of the slivers still survived and they were still firing(OOC: Remember, if you're in range so is the enemy, so sayeth murphy) at their max rate which could only be sustained for a couple minutes more, hopefully the couple minutes would be enough for them to kill the vertols and get to killing infantry and tanks that their guns were designed for(OOC: like the A-10 Warthog their gun is primarily a tank-buster, unlike the warthog it can be used as an anti-aircraft gun if necessary, just not as good at it)although it seemed like the enemy would soon be out of their reach and assaulting the entire hive-cluster(all 10 million odd slivers in the main hive) underground.

As the bio-bombs began trying to cut peices off they began scratching the armour plating, generally blunting thier claws as made shallow lines in the plate, one lucky bio-bomb who managed to land near the engines began cutting wires, sending the plane into a nosedive, the pilot knew he couldn't pull out but could do a controlled crash and did so into a hole near the base of the pillar.

As the rounds from the sliverplanes began bouncing off or in a few cases puncturing the armour, the pilots continued firing at sliverplanes with the 4 MGs and the 2 flak cannnons. Of the few Vertols that suffered damage, only one was suffering major damage and headed away from the battle site.

ooc: Didn't notice your gun postings
I need numbers on weight not reference
Vertols are very heavily armoured, part of the reason they have the electric field in operation.

OOC: I honestly don't remember what their end weight was, I just made them approximately the size and weight of a B-2 or a stratofortress, then I added heavy armor, which was equivlent to their normal bomb load and a little extra, I had it written down on my laptop but my laptop crashed and I haven't recovered most of the files I had on it, my military statistics being one of them, the exact statistics at least, I know the basic armaments and armoring of my planes but that's all I remember.

A 30mm bullet is the same one fired by the A-10 warthog, have you ever seen what happens to an Abrams when it is hit by an A-10, let me tell you, Abrams tanks, M1 or M2, and possibly the -E1, are shredded by it like a toddler with paper
And it's quite all right that you didn't notice, I've been known to do the same thing a time or two...

IC:

The metallic slivers had been reduced by another three, one who could no longer fly due to a damaged engine had crashed, partially intact but out of the dog fight for good, another had it's processor damaged and had also crashed, not at all intact in this case, and the third had ben destroyed outright due to a malfunctioning blow-out panel over its ammo storage, it merely disintegrated in mid-air, chunks peppering the ground below, none of them larger than a human head.

As the shrapnel fell it killed one man as well as injuring a couple others. The crashed sliver reminded the FC that there was still a fight going on before they headed under and ordered the MBTs as well as the stinger soldiers to take the flying bugs down.

ooc: is the weight over or under 70 tons aprox?

ooc: is the weight over or under 70 tons aprox?

OOC: I can definitely say over, since it weighs more than an abraqms and an Abrams is 70 tons, probably closer to 100 tons, which isn't alot when you consider other things on this scale, like the F-22 peregrine, nearly 90 tons if I remember right.

Lemme guess, your tanks took a page outta the russians book and you've got co-axial guns, like the M1-E4 from Hell's Faire, right?(7.62 gatlings won't do much against a plane, they'll shred infantry but planes are armored and farther away than a grunt would be, which means lower velocity for any shells that do reach)

IC:

The stinger missiles flared up towards the metallic slivers, since the slivers didn't emit much heat it wasn't a major threat except in the numbers fire, and those were big numbers, destroying all but one of the metallic slivers, the last sliver was badly damaged, with only one engine remaining and smoke streaming from its airframe it still flew on towards the enemy, firing as fast as possible, overriding the safety settings on the weapon it went to maximum fire, which unfortunately led eventually to the overload of the electric motor and consequent inability to fire, but the sliver wouldn't last long enough to have motor overload, its damage alone would bring it from the sky within the next three minutes.

As the sliverplane was targeted and shot at by a missle from one of the Vertols, the Vertols began setting down while the ground forces began prepartations.

ooc: actually modern tanks have co-axiel AA guns.

OOC: Really, I thought the russians got fed-up with it and stopped in the eighties, and I never thought american tanks had them at all.

IC:

The sliver took the hit and lost a wing, still flying, or at least a reasonable facimile of flying, the sliver began a slow but ever increasing downward spiral towards the earth below, unable to stop the fire from its gun due to damage to the fire control circuits, in that case it had been assumed the sliver was damaged but still capable of and wishing to fire at their enemies, the planes had been designed so that until the fire order was countermanded the gun would continue to fire, without access to the fire control circuits it could not countermand the fire directive and simply spiraled to the earth, preceded by a hail of depleted uranium and brass it impacted the ground in a sea of black oily flame and billowing smoke.

A number of the rounds hit ground units but most had scattered and opened a hole for the sliverplane to crash into.

ooc: not american but French, Italian, British, South African, as well as Russian and Ukraninan.

OOC: Heh, so nobody important is pretty much what you're saying, right? ;)

Now I'll just wait for you to come on in to kill the queen.

Secret IC:

The overlord had had his forces preparing for a day in which they might be invaded and had even prepared for a contingency in which they lost the outer defensive works, that was why his forces had gone to the next tunnel over to the west and were now tunneling back east through the tunnel walls to a point just three feet short of the main tunnel, he had sent another thousand troops to do the same in the east but it was questionable wether or not they'd be at their positions in time to help in the ambush of the central elements of the enemy forces.

The overlord had long ago searched the earth around the hive for points where there were lower soil densities or less stones in the ground to facilitate the actions necessary in just such an emergency, he had at least three other points where he could set up other ambushes, one of them actually below the path the enemy would be forced to take, he had prepared well, now to see if the enemy fell for it.

ooc: are there any large caverns in the general area?

ooc: are there any large caverns in the general area?

OOC: three hundred feet down from the main entrance, through a tunnel warren that leads vaguely downwards you can access the hive cavern, where the bulk of the population lives, doing so is contraindicated however, all slivers can fight to some degree and you'd be dropping into a nest of about 1 million of them in the hive cavern, another hundred thousand or so guarding the queen, and then the queen herself, makes the overlord look nice and cuddly, hell, makes cujo look like lassy on prozac if that gives you any idea the difficulties involved in fighting the queen.

For reference the queen is approximately half again as tall as the overlord, making her nearly fifty feet tall, and proportionally broad, she has only two arms and one head but she's big enough that she makes up for her lack of weapons by simply being REALLY, REALLY BIG, like behemoths and great whales for jewelry big, which is bigger than krakens and dreadnoughts for jewelry big, just so you know.

SIC:
The FC as well as both LTGs were in the command tent talking about plans.
"We have to get in and destroy this hive, suggestions?"
"We can go in and flush-em out manually..."
"Rediculous, why not just connect a pipe to the ocean and drown the lot.
"As I was saying, we could flush them out or we could drill a hole into one of the bigger tunnels or caverns and drop an FAE bomb into it."
"That sounds most practical, Samuel radio command and have them ship us a couple FAEs and some drilling equipement, James get a couple engineers looking for some a few nice drilling points. Dismissed."

The terraological engineers began setting up thier equipment and began looking for an appropriate dig site as well as tunnels that would be effected by the blast.

The terraological engineers began setting up thier equipment and began looking for an appropriate dig site as well as tunnels that would be effected by the blast.


Beneath the earth a group of drones farming mushrooms heard the sounds of movement above their heads, they were only drones however and quickly returned to their work, not bothering to consider the implications of what they had heard.

The queen noticed a disturbance at one of the outlying farms and called troops from the nearest tower to investigate the incident, not sure what it was she felt that it would be prudent to send a cluster to discover what they could, large beasts roamed the tunnels and there were enemies near, it may be either and either would be capable of simply killing a pack of drones with little effort, so the queen also decided that waiting for the cluster to arrive in a couple of hours was the best course to take under these conditions.

OOC: The way this is going I fully expect to lose this round, although the next round should go better, and will start with your troops entering through a tower that has been leveled by explosives(take your pick what kind) to avoid the extended aircombat and hordes of troops coming from the hive into the open, since we'll pretty much skip that next time I'll operate as though you got me by surprise, only sending a cluster to investigate in the beginning and ramping up operations from there.

As the pilots or the planes with the special supplies were beginning thier decent, the engineers finished thier mappings of the terrain and subterrainian caverns.

ooc: when you say capture do you mean simply get to and eliminate all nearby defenders or drag to surface.
Also round three would seem like it would be similar to this one.

OOC: capture would work either way, if you can get her to the surface the defenders will have failed, if you kill the defenders it is inevitable that the queen will be captured.

The purpose of round three is destroying the hive, the objective here is to kill the queen, which I really expected to be more of a surgical strike than a massive mobilisation honestly.

IC:

The cluster was nearing their goal, only ten miles left to go before they got where they were going and figured out what was happening on the surface that far from the caverns.

As the engineers neared the point of break-in(into the cavern) the rest of the forces moved a good deal back(15-25miles) depending on ground and subsurface conditions. At break through one of the Vertols lifted off the mining apparatus, while the other with the FAE on a cable brought it toward the hole and began attempting to get into the hole.(think threading a needle)

The cluster reached their destination, their was no obvious disturbance, just a mushroom farm, but their duty was to search the surface and see what the sound noted by the drones was, since they had not encountered any thorascids or any of the few lacoliths in the tunnels it must be something on the surface, the fastes way to the surface was through the ceiling, which was exactly what they decided to do, beginning to pry away the 4 feet or so of packed earth that composed the roof of the tunnel.

The ceiling of the cavern fell in, the reaction of the slivers within was sub-optimum for whoever had broken through, they immediately surged towards the cavern walls and began to climb, trying to reach whoever had disturbed the nest, determined to destroy those who had the temerity to enter directly into the cavern of the brood, the few muscle slivers inside swiftly scaled the walls, using their clawed legs and hand to quickly scramble up the walls of the cavern, then they exited the cavern to see what the threat was, the slivers behind them were talon, plated, clot, barbed and bladed slivers, the winged slivers were all spent and the metallic slivers were effectively destroyed, one was still in comission but out of the air battle and slowly crawling back towards the hive, from about five miles out and at an angle to the enemy ground forces, it was the only unit capable of engaging the plane above them for some time, and it was low on ammo and power so it's ability to destroy the enemy would be limited, but it might be able to destroy what ever was suspended below the plane, maybe that would stop the enemy for a time.

As the pilot finished manuvering the FAE so it was directly over the hole, he unclipped the cable, the FAE would detonate one it passed througth the tunnel. As soon as the cable was unclipped the Vertol took off to avoid risking getting caught in any effects of the blast.

The enemy was moving, there was only one choice, the first slivers out of the hole leaped for the bomb, attempting to knock it off course, at least to force it to impact the edge of the hole and detonate without destroying the hive, even though the hive would still be badly damaged they would survive.

The last metallic sliver saw the Vertol move and opened fire on its cargo with the 30mm chaingun on its chest, maybe combined with the efforts of the muscle slivers it would be enough to divert the bomb from its target, or if a round penetrated it might detonate before entering the hole, further reducing damage to the hive due to the airburst nature of such a detonation.

The MuscleSliver knocked the FAE to the side, but as it was already into the entrance of the tunnel it simply bounced around. While the Metalic fired the rounds smashed into the top of the tunnel collapsing it, while the FAE fell deeper into the tunnel.

OOC: the tunnel collapse is gonna mitigate the effects of the explosion, since the tunnel is gonna collapse right on it and kill a little bit of the blast.

IC:

The muscle sliver had hit the bomb, but he was too late, the metallic slivers shells had missed the bomb but were right on time, the slivers weight had changed its course and it and he were now trapped under a very large pile of rubble, just before it died from the rock that had crushed its torso.

As the FAE reached mid-point in the cave, surrounded by the dirt and rocks of the tunnel collapse, it detonated.

As the FAE reached mid-point in the cave, surrounded by the dirt and rocks of the tunnel collapse, it detonated.

The explosion ripped through the cavern, gutting a good bit of it, but the collapse of the tunnel had obstructed air-flow to the bomb and prevented an optimum blast, the blast was further reduced by the rocks that had cut the air-flow, since the sudden inrush of air had pulled them towards the bomb and damping the explosion by the simple expedient of having to be destroyed before the explosion could damage anything else, greatly reducing the kinetic energy of the outward blast wave.

A good third of the cavern was gutted but in that third there were over 7 million slivers, all of which were either dead or horribly wounded, in most cases the wounded wouldn't stay that way long, since those wounds were so grevious that even having a clot sliver would not have saved them, the queens dwelling was just 100 yards from the edge of the explosion, all of her main guards were dead by the blast, her personal guards and champions were still alive, but they numbered less than a full cluster, being only 300 slivers, only half of a cluster in fact, and her children were all alive, so that was a bit of help, except for the fact that most were not old enough to be any use against the enemy when they finally breached the caverns and entered the queens chamber.

The effect of so many slivwers dieing to gether and simultaneously was devestating for the hive, had those slivers survived the hive would havwe been able to plan and defend itself with well thought out plans, now every sliver still within the cavern and not in the queens direct presence swarmed towards the hole that had been ripped in the cavern ceiling, some swarmed up the walls, others simply flew, and still others used mistform abilities to attatch themselves to others going up the walls, the end result was that three million ravening, raging, berserk, and generally not happy slivers were all pointed at a single enemy, those who had dropped a bomb on the hive, the enemy would die or the hive would be destroyed, for if the enemy survived it would mean they were all dead and the queen would be doomed.

OOC: I'm going to be off for the next couple of days at least, since I'll be at my grandparents this weekend, my last post I'll be able to make probably won't be much after three thirty or four this afternoon.

The ground forces, including the MBTs, MSTs and artillery opened fire as soon as the first few hundred slivers poured out of the hole, the Vertols also raking the swarm with gunfire as well as missles.

OOC: I'm back, finally...

IC:

The first slivers out were shredded by the enemy gunfire, then as more and more slivers rose from the hole the fire pressure dropped off since there were more targets to the same number of guns, the slivers soon numbered in the low thousands, and rising, the hive would be either destroyed or saved by this action, and only time would tell.

A number of water-bombers bearing a special cargo, flew out and dumped thier load 100 feet in front of the ground forces. The cargo soaked and coated the ground, and one the front ranks of the slivers reached the mid-point in the saturated ground, a stinger soldier fired a rocket into the fluid soaked ground, causing the entire area that the bombers had coated to burst aflame.

ooc: the liquid is a combination of Napalm, gasoline, and kerosene.

OOC: napalm is not liquid, it's jellified gasoline, so napalm and gasoline is redundant, kerosene isn't as good as napalm so that's pretty much a waste, you'd get better results with the same volume of napalm, that being said, my slivers shoot biological napalm without being burned, why would your napalm be any different?

IC:
The slivers were soaked in flammables, then the flammables ignited, now they were on fire, ok, so they were flaming, they kept advancing towards their enemies, swarming towards those who would harm their queen, towards those who would threaten the hive and kill them all if given the opportunity, their purpose was vengeance and destruction, they would not be stopped till the last one was dead.

ooc: I know napalm is gelled gasoline, I also know that the mix will work as intended. Gasoline vapors are highly explosive.
Also just because the slivers can spit out 'napalm' doesn't mean it can survived it getting dumped on it. A snake can inject venom into someone but inject the same venom back into the snake will kill it.

OOC: Poison is not usually on fire, if you spit fire you must also be resistant to the effects of that flame or you will destroy yourself with it, in my other posts I mention that the "flaming gunk", as you put it, was dribbling down their fronts or that strings of it were hanging from their mouths, if they were going to be burned by it they would have been on fire and dying, not just kinda standing around as if there was nothing wrong, it's like fire breathing dragons, if it breathes fire, and the fire it breathes is very hot, hot enough to kil for example, and it is not harmed by its own fire then it will be unharmed by most other fires.

Also, most snakes are immune or resistant to their own venom, if you inject a snakes venom into another snake it would have the desired effect, if you inject into the same snake then you'll either get less reaction from the snake or just a snake that's pissed at you for poking it with a needle, you probably won't get a dead snake.

Bump, and all that good stuff

The combined forces continued to pour massed volumes of machine gun, assualt rifle, rocket fire as well as grenades into the slivers.

ooc: disreguarding the fact that the slivers can apparently stand up to 800-1200 degrees celsius, a snake will die if injected with it's own venom, I've talked to herpatologists.

OOC: really, I was under the impression that most snakes were immune or resistant to their own venom, I'll take your word for it, I'll just have to do some more research on the matter(looking things up and researching crap is one of my wierd little hobbies).

IC:

The rockets and grenades would open up large holes in the on-rushing horde, only to be filled again by pressure from behind, the machineguns tore through the slivers, dropping them in the hundreds, but thousands more came on behind them, the assault-rifles had the least effect, being of lower velocity and caliber than the machineguns they lacked the power to penetrate the slivers carapaces under less than ideal circumstances, a few slivers fell to the assault rifles, but at this range their effect was minimal compared to that of the heavier weapons.

The overlords forces had lain in ambush for their enemies to come through the tunnels, now the enemy was above them, they were only about six feet underground so the overlord decided to engage the enemy forces above them, if all went well the appearance of the overlords ten thousand in their midst would have a de-moralizing effect on the enemy, possibly causing the enemy to break and run.

The ten thousand dug upwards, cutting through the rock like it was soft wood or a similar substance, they would break the surface within thirty seconds, then the killing would start.

The three million had been reduced by over one hundred thousand, but that just meant there were 2.9 million left, and they would soon be under 100 yards, when that happened the enemy would get a lesson in what fire really meant.

The ground forces continued to pour fire into the sliver horde and as the first few limped out of the flaming hell, they began hitting bouncing betties, claymores and landmines, which ripped into the horde.

While the horde was focused on the ground forces in front of it, a Vertol carrying multiple(3) FAEs and dropped it into the big gapping hole that the first one had caused. Once the bombs were released, the Vertol hit the hammer and got out of thier.

ooc: you still have to deal with the flames, as you are running your slivers throught a strip about 50 meters wide that is averaging 800-1200 celcius.
Also I had moved the forces to bedrock or at least sturdy ground(post80), which slivers couldn't dig throught that fast.

OOC: Mini Miehm, let me know when your done with your wargames. Then I'll do a round with you, a full out permanet destruction War. Since this will take place in an alternate Diminsion/timeline, this War would not really count. All Slivers. All the Time. That, would have to be an intresting battle that would keep some NSers intrested for awhile. Especially since from what I understand, you've been irratating the hell out of a lot of people. The only thing other than Slivers would be Warfare, God of the slivers. I told you about him when I agreed to give you slivers to begin with. He would be using the Omni-Sliver form, and spells specificly designed for Slivers. I would leave The Followers of Warfare out, since I know they could easily kick Sliver a$$ any day. What do you say, do you accept? Or are you going to turn me down?

I'll RP flame deaths, but they won't be as bad as you'll like, since I disagree on the fact that they should be hurt by fire, no more than 2 or 3 thousansd will drop from it.

IC:

The first slivers began to drop from the flames around them, not from the haet, which, while uncomfortable, was survivable, instead they were dieing from a form of desiccation, they were getting all dried up. only 3700 were killed by the flames but the rest survived the fire, only to be hit by the mines emplaced by the enemy, the claymores ripped through them, wounding many but not causing many kills because of the small size of their projectiles, they hit through the carapace and were stopped by the endoskeletons of the horde, their armor was shredded but they could still move and fight to an extent.

The bouncing betties and toe poppers had much less effect, their shrapnel being more deadly, but they required contact to be set off, so most of the troops were spared death at their hands, only 100 thousand dieing from the claymores and other mines combined, the horde was down to only 2,797,300 from a start of 3,000,000 but they still outnumbered the enemy.

The FAEs destroyed the remainder of the cavern and blocked the entrance to the queens chamber, where she was trapped under rubble, crushed and dieing...

The overlords forces erupted from the ground approximately 200 yards west of the attacking forces, they may have been on solid ground, but the groud to the south and west was not so tough to get through, the overlords troops rushed into the enemies flank, falling upon them like demons, driving hard into the forces arrayed against them.

A number of the reserves turned and opened on the overlords forces, while the CS troops turned the flamethrowers on the horde that was charging in for HTH.

IC:

The overlords forces had reached the mandatory 100 yards, when they were inside those 100 yards they did their fire trick again, they wouldn't be able to do it again for about ten or fifteen minutes, but they'd probably be dead by that time. The liquid flame flowed from their mouth like the coils of a great python, looping and swirling through the air in a beautiful but deadly dance of heat and light.

A number of infantry were fried, but the majority of the flamer troops were garbbed to withstand their flamer pack bursting and wern't phased by the attack.

OOC: I expected as much, oh well, time to melee...

IC:

The overlords troops had destroyed a few enemies with their flame and would soon be into melee with the flamethrowing forces.

The infantry who couldn't engage the slivers at range activated the slid blade and prepared to carve the slivers that got in range to peices, while the flamer infantry continued to barbeque the slivers.

The last FAE that was brought over, was airlifted to the hole, dropped and the pilot high-tailed it out of there as it detonated.

OOC: slid blade, what's that?

IC:

The final FAE finished what the last three had started, fully collapsing the queens cavern and crushing the queens brain-case, instantly killing her.

ooc: if you've seen the movie Underworld, a slid blade is based on the forearm and is can be extended or retracted. The blade the lycan Lucian had on his arm.

OOC: Underworld was too goth so I never saw it, I'll just take your word for it about the slid blade.

ooc: if you want to see the blade goto

watch trailer one and around the 55 second mark you will see it.
It's also a good movie.

OOC: I avoid the P&P RPG Vampire: The Masquerade, I'm avoiding Underworld just like I avoid that, I don't like creepy(to be read as "ugh stupid freakin goths") goth stuff, it's just not my thing.

ooc: ah, so you just don't like the genre

ooc: ah, so you just don't like the genre

OOC: long and short of it, yes. I never saw the point of an RPG where killing things with large sharp objects wasn't the point, and Masquerade is a pocking "storyteller", or some shit like that, RPG, I wanna kill\maim things, not tell a pocking story with no cocommitant violence involved.

ooc: ah

ooc: ah

OOC: yep... I kill people and break things, I'm Riff... Wow, no wonder my plans never work, Let me check my notes...

ooc: lol, two suggestion for future rps, one no using copyright characters, try to use selfmade characters or at least alter the charcters. Also in the marriage thread you should have posted for warhaven, then just waited till he came back.

OOC: I did, his friends jumped me for it, you did notice I assume... I'm usually too tired to come up with my own stuff, I just use Ringo's stuff most of the time, occasionally I use stuff from Weber or Flint, but very rarely, I have a few characters of my own but they don't really fit most of the character RPs out there, Roger and his posse can fit most any situation.

Then just give them different names and change physical discription a bit, ie: Roger from blonde to black haired things like that.

Alright Mini Miehm, come get some.

*Pulls out a green can. It Reads :

OOC: ok, so, about that thought I had for an Adoula coup RP, whadda ya think?

Adoula?

Adoula?

you haven't read We Few or March to the stars yet have you?

if not I say no more

To the stars, yes, we few, no.
Haven't read books for a while thought.

Well at the end of stars Temu Jin, an agent of the IBI reveals that there was a coup attempt by the military, it failed due to the actions of Prince Jackson Adoula, the Prince was the instigator of the coup, he used it as an excuse to sieze the palace and the queen, now the queen has a kid on the way and Roger is a wanted man, I won't tell you what happens in We Few, but I'll say that you should read it, it's very good.

That's why I didn't get it, if you'd said Jackson I would have remembered, it was the last name part that got me.
As to Few, havn't had a chance to get to bookstore recently, is it softcover yet?

The RP would occur on old earth, while Roger is on Marduk, each person would control a single character or a small group of characters, no more than five, the RP would be based on the characters being either for or against Adoula, then when the coup came they'd have to make decisions, like fighting and dying or living but knowing what Adoula has done, from there the RP would go to rescuing the Empress if any anti-Adoula partisans survived, if not they would get new characters from the associations, Raiders, SpecOps, and Empress Own, each group is composed of people who are former members of the military, they'd have to make alliances with people against Adoula, and then carry out an assault on the palace to recover the Empress.

sorry but no, I got it hardback, 1st edition to boot!

Tend to wait for softcover
Also idea is good but would need multiple people who had at least read the three march books.

Look at the forum we're on, I'm sure there are plenty of people who have read the March books.

As of Stars, John and Alexandria are dead.

But we are dealing with the coup, they die dutring the coup, so I'd control them until they died.

I'm pretty sure, may be wrong, that they died before the coup 'officially' happened, to clear they way for Jackson to size power.

I'll say no more, just trust me, they're still alive during the coup.

so We Few is set concurrant to the march books?

After, you just learn more about what went on during the coup.

Alright, depending on interest will sign up.
