What exactly confuses you?

I'd like to see a world with a great Hive, surrounded by large expanses of nature. As the RP goes on, I'd like to see the fighting start in the countryside, then move closer and closer towards the city as the humans are pushed back. Eventually, the humans would be forced to hold the line at the Hive edge. By the end, the fighting is more between small units in an urban setting.

That's just my idea, though.

..sorry, newb question- what is a Hive? Is it just a big city?

What exactly confuses you?
The whole thing. I think all the stuff about points should go, and you should just have a concise list of each squad's composition, and who's leading them.

. The Tau would show up to make sure no one uses such a destructive weapon.


That isn't the Tau'va way though. Thats more what Eldar would do. The Tau would claim it for the Tau for the Greater Good.

..sorry, newb question- what is a Hive? Is it just a big city?
It's like an arcology, so, yeah, basically. It's supposed to be really dense.

Kewl... I like the idea of a huge city with multiple fortresses- that each faction could set up shop in as the battle progresses. I also like the idea of unlikely alliances based on mutual intrests- who would ever suspect Orks! and space marines would ally to drive off a Chaos charge...

Why not a planet with several different types of terrain and several hive cities? I have a map that we can even use...I just have to dig it up. What'cha think? At least for a setting, plot can come latter.

Like here is an example:

http://www.rbigaming.org/campaign%20maps/Map.jpg

Simple to mark where everyone is (ie Windows Paint can manage it), has all types of terrain, contains cities and key positions to hold, could be used to create a sort of "secondry winner by points " (I dunno maybe) or other.

I'll agree with that, but name it something different please? That name won't work well for 40k

Gitsoumoya (i know the spelling is wrong) is fine, just drop the Lost Continent of________

I say that the map is WAY too big. There are only so many of us, and we'd be spread out all over that map.

What's it from anyway? Tibia?

OH, and good job on the edit, Soup. It's a lot clearer now.

Sure.

K, LNI i made some changes. tell if you understand it know.

i am still working on a breakdown of the comanders of the squads and platoons.

Sure.

There are actually quite a lot of us. And we can always increase some of our armies to suit the scenario. The IG always come in large numbers, as do orcs, and on occasion the Tau and Space Marines. Its the best I could find. Sizes can always be altered. It doesn't have a 'measuring rod' on the map, so we could set the length of certain areas.

Yeah, I saw it. As I said above, it's a lot clearer now. Excellente!

Actually, upon looking at it, I kind of like it. Except, I think that instead of sea, there should just be land that Imperial forces aren't in. It looks like the big thing in the middle would represent the Hive, and the other places could be strongpoints and forward positions. So, yeah, keep it.


Out of curiousity, does anyone like my idea of the IG/SM being pushed back from the countryside into the Hive, where things break down into urban warfare?

Or perhaps even that large city being the central hive. The smaller town-looking things being military places or smaller hives and towns. I could try adding more land...but I don't think we'll need it. The numbers of the outside leave us with the areas in which us (ie being any not IG/SM) could deploy to move inland. The final objective being to capture the hive city. Or something like that.

Sure.

Thank you, awsome map any way, but the name makes it perfect

I like, i even think you could leave the ocean as it is... this could be a small part of a global conflict... or just w/e everyone is after is on the one continent.

Hell, I know it's not orthodox... but it'd be interesting to se some 40K navies. Prolly not gonna happen, but a cool idea

I though that Imperials made their citizens live in a centralized area, and some of them would work outside...
Anyway, I wasn't saying we need more land to fight/RP, I was just thinking, if the size of the RP area is going to be reasonable, then the "continent" would turn into a small island. I was just thinking, the "land" section on the current map is the area the Imperials control, while the "sea" is uncontrolled by them.

I like the idea of using the numbered areas to coordinate assaults.

Well I am unsure that the local PDF on such a large continent would be capable of protecting the entire continent. I imagine that us 'invaders' manage to gain a foothold, Guard and Marines come in, a big campaign starts in.

I'd go so far as to say that the distance from East to West of the continent is about...500-700 miles in length.

Makes it easier to keep track of our armies movements as well...

I'm always up for Urban Warfare!

"I have at my command an entire battle group of the Imperial Guard. Fifty regiments, including specialized drop troops, stealthers, mechanised formations, armored compaines, combat engineers and mobile artillery. Over half a million fighting men and over thirty thousand tanks and artillery pieces are mine to command. Emperor, show mercy to the fool that stands against me, for I shall not"

-Warmaster Demetrius, at the outset of the Salonika Crusade, 733.M38

The size is kind of ridiculous. It would make it about the size of... Texas. Which is a f*cking huge area. How about, it's the size of England?

Yes, but planets are generally big.


and since we're sending in a 10,000 man regiment.....we'll need space for all the equipment.

We aren't protecting a whole planet though, are we? I mean, considering the resources we have...

Why is it ridiculous? It will force you to adapt, learn a grander strategy...think of it as a useful lesson. We have a large area, we have large armies, etc. Whats so bad about that?

Since he's commanding a platoon, all he needs to worry about is moving about his 4-5 squads. I'm going to worry about the regimental operations. (And my squad, but thats different, since Mikil has to follow New Ireland's orders, but he has to follow my Colonel's Orders)

i think the size is fine. and whats so wrong with the size of texas?

Agreed.

Alright, assume we have 10000 men protecting the island...

Now, take the fact that the UK Army is ten times our size. The island/area we are defending (I still say this should be a Hive and countryside that's part of a much larger planet) needs to be a LOT smaller.

The Imp Guard army is WAY too small, and it will instantly collapse to the Hive, otherwise. Now do you understand why the island must be smaller?

Good point LNI...

Also, dont rule out that we may get re-inforced sometime during the fight... especially those of us with no other RPers on our side...


Anyway, I think if the fighting was concentrated on a smaller island- the only populated area on a backwater planet... then it'd make the fighting more intense and visceral.

Edit: I just realized that what i was rambling on about isn't feasible. I forgot that Chaos tends to corrupt civillians, but we can have our people find that out after touching down. It might make for an interesting opening to the conflict. Also, i'll be assuming command of the PDF (Generally Imperial Guard would take over. Since no Commissar is present, Guard still have authority i believe, but Krow can decide on its size.)

Why not each of you IG commanders have your own regiments? usually Guard deployments are made in groups of regiments with a Lord General or someone in over-all command. Just do that.

we should see what the total combined IG force is.

i have 102 men ATM more could come if need though.

OOO! OOO! Me! Me! Can i be the Lord General???

;)

I love the name, obviously... It's what I based my nation's name on. As for size, I personally would prefer something a bit smaller with armies of around 100 men, but if the will of the majority is going bigger then I'm fine with that as well.

Wanderjar, thanks for the names and stuff, that's good.

Also, Thrashia, are you playing O'Shovah as in the renegade?

We have about 10,000 men. A few more than that, but not more than a few hundred more.

Anyway, my point is 10k men is not even CLOSE to the amount of manpower needed to hold an area the size of Texas. It couldn't even hold an area the size of Britain. It might be enough to hold an area the size of New Jersey, but that's about it.

Wanderjar, thanks for the names and stuff, that's good.


yeah man, no problem. Anytime! :)

Im with LNI on this one, the smaller the better. The invaders would only be interested in areas w/ heavy population- so the fighting on a small, densly populated island would work fine. Plus, this could be the only habitable land on the planet...

Actually, I hate strategically RPing. I would much prefer commanding a platoon, taking orders from the Regimental level.

If we do what Thrasia said, We can up it to be 30,000 men, and give all of the IG commanders their own Regiments. Basically increase the size, and unless you all disagree, i'll remain in command, or we can elect a new leader, and i'll take a separate Regiment, but i'd rather not do that since you have my Squad New Ireland. But with 30,000 men, i think the Guard, PDF, and Space Marines can hold the Hive. Again though, if everyone else wants it smaller, then i'm fine with that.

Thats fine

I promise i won't sacrifice you all. I'm not that kind of commander, i.e, i actually care about my mens lives.

Read my last post. And, anyway, the point isn't for the PDF to win, it's to tell a good story... of a desperate last stand, in this case.

If you up your size, everyone else has to go bigger proportionally though.

Thats fine

So, are we sticking with one regiment?

If thats the general desire of the group. I'm fine either way! I love Commanding strategically, so no matter what, i'm happy.

I'd prefer sticking with one regiment, obviously. I don't know what the other IGs are thinking.

BTW, you should come up with a breakdown of the regiment to put on the "The Armies&Their Commanders" thread.

1 regiments fine with me.

Also, Thrashia, are you playing O'Shovah as in the renegade?

Nope.

Hailing from the world of Vior'la, Commander Farsight — less commonly known as O'Shovah — has embraced the aggressive spirit of his sept to the point of contravention of Tau doctrine. His first and greatest victories were won against the Orks amid the arid oxide-deserts of Arkunasha. When the Tau colony there was threatened, he led the Fire Warriors in a masterful campaign against many times their own numbers. Farsight's training under the legendary Commander Puretide had taught him to use the terrain against the foe, and O'Shovah's tactical brilliance during the war earned him his famous "Farsight" moniker.

Though his training had shown him the value of long-range firepower, O'Shovah encouraged the aggressive spirit of the Fire caste in his warriors and they fought many bitter battles at close range with the Orks and emerged triumphant. However, by the war's end, Commander Farsight had become deeply embittered, as he believed that others had failed to support him effectively during the campaign.

After the Imperium's aborted Damocles Crusade, O'Shovah led a force to reclaim the lost Tau colonies. As was customary, several Ethereal Caste members were also part of the expedition. Commander Farsight's force ran into unexpected difficulties with an Ork incursion probing at the shattered edges of the Tau Empire. In response, O'Shovah abandoned his recolonization mission and directed his efforts at fighting the Orks and drew his forces into a decade-long campaign across many worlds.

Though his force's Ethereal Caste leaders eventually died in combat, Farsight continued the war against the Orks without guidance. Soon, his expedition was well beyond the known reaches of Tau space. Farsight refused to return to the Tau Empire and instead chose to establish a string of heavily fortified strongholds along the frontier of the Damocles Gulf. The Tau Empire could only conclude that O'Shovah had turned his back on the Greater Good and was now fighting for personal gain.

You should probably put that on the "The Armies&Their Commanders" thread, Thrashia.

Nice history... shoudl give your character an addtional vendetta against my orks.

I'm pretty sure there's a clause about insurance not covering Ork-maulings.

And you didn't answer my question, Atlantia.

Nah, I had to join their warband... life sucks as a grot

As for size, I think it'd make for a cool story if the space marines (100+) were holed up in a huge fortress along with the remnants of a guard regiment. My Orks, for the sake of the mini RP, would number 10,000+ (since Lurtz's army is alot bigger than the one in the main RP... he's only leading a part of it on that particular planet). The Space MArines could hold the fortress until the civilians could be evacuated, and then the marines would be overrun and killed. WanderJar your character could be present at the battle, and have beeen evaced w/ the civies...

Great stuff, now get posting!

So far I'd like to play as a new hive fleet that has just arrived in this area, Hive Fleet Calamity as it is, but that can be changed if need be.
This way I can have the whole kit and kaboodle of spores raining down on the planet and such-like, or not if it's going that way.
But in any case this would explain a few things, perhaps this island escaped the spores and thus my Tyranids have no foot-hold on it, or a very limited one.
Or maybe it could simply be that the rest of the world is water, except for a handful of other small and unimportant islands. Other scenarios abound...
Although in the end the mix of invading Orks, Necrons, Tau and Chaos combined with Tyranids means the populace is going to take some punishment as well as the IG...If we don't all kill each other first.
This is looking pretty good.

Damnit! Post people!

This is a different planet unless i'm mistaken. From here we move onto another world. But i could be wrong about that.

My IG is already pretty well explained - I'll just start out with the rest of you IG guys, OK?

Undershi, post in the Armies and Commanders thread if you havent already. The links in the first post of this thread.

I'd like to play as some random Khornate Chaos people (pretty obvious from my nation name, eh?) So, am I in?

@The Exodians:
Maybe your Necrons can be beneath the surface of the planet, and emerge when some idiot Guardsman digs some sort of entrenchments.
Sounds alright, I'll have them buried under a certain group of hills on the map. (I'll tell you which in secret.) Also, do you mind if I scaled up the force quite a bit? I realised that trying to conquer a world with only 176 machines is quite impossible...
@All:
When you guys want to make covert movements, etc., my email is vishamon@gmail.com actually, if everyone could just send me an email with their online name, then I can make contacts for you so I can send you secret results of covert ops and scouting missions, stuff like that.
Ok, I will do that soon.

Also, do you mind if I scaled up the force quite a bit? I realised that trying to conquer a world with only 176 machines is quite impossible...

We all need to scale up our forces a bit (which I already did). I would say just increase the number of warriors you have, and that should do it since your command and retinue seem pretty well done and good.

I'm thinking about multiplying the Phalanx (Minus the Lord and Immortals) by four, as to have five of them which could in turn be put into a Phalanx shape together with the one including the Lord in the center.

If we all keep upscaling our forces, where does the role-playing fall in?

If I can keep track of over 40 Star Destroy names, their captains and junior officers, and still have a story going...then I assume that everyone else can at least keep a head on their major characters, ie officers and when the situation calls for it, regular soldiers.

You don't have to display your entire force, as in naming each character and their personalities, in your first post. I'm using around several hundred Tau. That leaves me a lot of rope to climb and find new ways to explore characters, use cool names, find different personalities, etc.

Its not as hard as you'd think. A grand battle should have grand armies, and still function as a good story.

Okay, I'm back, and I'll have the IC and OOC threads up shortly, that is if everyone is ready.

Okay, lets finish the Prelude. Krow, if you don't mind, encourage everyone to read our prelude to the actual story that we worked on last night. I'll find the link

I've looked over the Prelude thread, and you guys seem to have a little bit of a proble with who is supposed to call damage. If I drop my force and just GM, then I'll be in charge of that. Also, the OOC banter will have to be restricted to the OOC thread that I will create to go along with the IC thread.

The Prelude takes place on another planet. After it falls, my Regiment is reinforced and sent where ever you decide we should go. Then, (Nice name by the way) we carry on from there however you wanted it to go. But the Orkses chase after us.

By the way, we agreed on the damage thing, since the victor of the RP was predetermined anyway. So we know what we're doing, we were just having a bit of fun.

Anyway, as regimental commander, I personally think that we should land at 125. My reasoning is that it is right next to the Imperial Citadel (assuming thats what you want it to be) and very close to the Hive, so that we can move in and fortify it. Just the way I'd handle the operation in real life.

13:00


I think your clock's broken dude. :p


Same here. Ok, then post the IC thread at about 2:00. Thats when most of the Euro guys will be home anyway. If not, they'll be home at 3:00 since there its about 7:00.

is 126 the citidel? I thought that 86 was coing to be the citidel...
::looks through all 150 of the posts made two nights ago::

86 is bigger but 126 looks more the part of a citadel. i personaly would like to have some people in 86 because just north of that is the perfect fall back position. Only 1 way in.

Only i way in.

I think that would be too Formal, why would he need to call his platoon by anyother name than 'my platoon' certainly the men in his platoon would know that they are in his platoon. When writing 3rd person i will refer to it as Comand platoon though.

@LNI:

Nah, it's just in the Preclude, the whole force gets overrun by Orks... Damn, I go away for sleep and Trigun, and the RP starts...

What are my orders, Commander?

Inquisition...*shudders* I would pity the poor guys, but I think my Tyranids will be eating them first, that is, if all goes to plan.
But I have a few questions.
For the interests of this RP how many Tyrants should I field? I so far only have one and a Broodlord but I'm probably going to need some more synapse in there.
Also are there any restrictions on flying units such as Gargoyles?

Word to the wise: after looking at Thrashia and Exodia's forces Ive decided to increase my numbers as well, Orks after all, generally outnumber everyone but the tyranids and sometimes the Guard. If anyone has a problem w/ my numbers just lemme know, Ill be glad to reduce them. I just want a lot of orks to throw away, Im not particularly interested in winning.

I think that's a pretty good idea, we can't have the Orks too outnumbered.

At the battle of Broucheroc, the Orks outnumbered the Guardsmen 10,000,000 to 5,000.....

Also, remember, a dead ork reproduces about 20-100 Orks. So unless we burn the bodies, they'll reproduce.


(Orks reproduce by spores. Dead Orks after being dead for about two to three days, release these spores which grow into full Orks after a couple weeks.

Hey Krow, you want me to RP my 'nids landing on the planet, maybe the hive fleet deploying spores and then sending troops down or something along those lines, or will you be RPing my arrival?

Hey, Uldarious, you should have more Carnifexes.

Just 'cause they're cool as hell...

Wanderjar (or anyone), how far is it from the IG starting point to the hive, do you think? Also, how wide across is the hive? Need to know for my post...

LNI- could you RP some of the Space Marines and there last stand in the Preclude... I think you did a good job of it last night.


Uldarious- would you mind letting my Warboss kill either a Lictor or a Carnifex or something early on? He likes to think of himself as a "huntah of da baddest tings in da universe" and wants more skullz in his collection...

LNI- could you RP some of the Space Marines and there last stand in the Preclude... I think you did a good job of it last night.
Mmm.... I'll consider it, if Krow doesn't mind me having a second force. They would be separate from the 22nd Armagh...

No, i mean in the preclude thread...

No, i mean in the preclude thread...
OH, ok. Do you want me to write their entire stand, or do you want to have a bit of a battle?

Well I don't know...Carnifex are pretty cool, I'm not sure I could part with one without a bit of a fight, but I suppose he can get a Lictor, maybe one that was moving in to sow a lil' havoc in the camp.

Uldarious:
Sounds good, esp. since Lictors are all sneaky. the Carnifex fight can come later...

LNI: Write your heart out, just have a few of the Thunder hawks shot down, and leave some space for WJ to post to get Mikil out and me to post and have da boyz kick some umie ass. Keep focused on the Space Marine/Ork melee though. Thanks.

OA: Indeed, Carnifex will come latter and we will see who triumphs *rubs hands*oh yes we will see.
So seriously should I be posting some sort of Invasion or should I just start posting as my forces touch down or should I leave this kinda thing to Krow?

Up to you... but keep an invasion force concentrated in an unoccupied area

(That doesnt mean a few spores cant fall on the 'umies though....)

Alright then, I'll start with a bit of spore dropping and then move on to the actual deployment, you guys can decide how they effect your troops.
I'll probably end up deploying in the forest around areas 38, 41 37, 43 if that's all right.

Would you mind having one or more of the Orks try to dig a hole somewhere in those mountains? You've managed to stumble upon one of the Necron resting places, so I need a IC bit reflecting that.

Hmmmm... Exodia I was planning on have that mountain be that main Ork! base. Is it possible that the mountain could not be a resting place and Ill have the Orks! dig you up somewhere else?

@Krow,
If Exodians agrees w/ what I just offered then all Orks will move to the town and mountain- if not then only some will and they will dig up the Necrons.

Well, alright then. Digging them up in the hills at 24 would do too.

Hmmmm... Exodia I was planning on have that mountain be that main Ork! base. Is it possible that the mountain could not be a resting place and Ill have the Orks! dig you up somewhere else?




I have a solution. How about the majority of the Orks are moving about, scouting the area, and only some Grots and a few Nobs are at the base, then they dig up the Necrons, and it wakes them up all over the world. When the Orkses return, they find the Grots dead, and all their buildings trashed. There, you don't lose alot of men, and only need to rebuild the base. All covered in one IC post. You cool with that?


Win/Win situation.

Official Ruling
Exodian and I have talked about this, and I think that the best plan is to have them awakened in 24, and put the ork base on 26.

Ill send Grotz over to 24, to dig up a reactor that fell out of the Krooza during it's descent. Once they get the reactor out of the ground, they'll find the top of a monolith or something.

Sound Good?

@Chronosia:
at least tag IC!
Please replace the tag with an IC post.

@Old Atlantia:
great idea. kroozas arn't very reliable. ;)

And dropping a reactor on them ought to wake those Necrons up a bit. Not in a happy way, but atleast they'll be awake.

Edit:
@Wanderjar: Perhaps you should save your idea for when you find Necrons yourself. There are four more groups hidden beneath the surface, and all at locations you're likely to come sooner or later...

Simply put, yes they are. They're supposed to be the physical embodiement of death itself to instill fear in their foes, and thus they look like Skeletons. Their sole purpose is to reap as much souls for their gods, and being machines they're quite good at that too.
