Vanguard Xankek Reporting!

Gene yawns as he pokes his head out of the compartment hold he'd been napping in. "Are we th-the hell have you guys been doing!?"

Since the CO isn't on at the moment.
Mission Verify will happen again at 2.

"Good Afternoon gentlemen, we are here to aid you in investigating Voss territory!"

>>17246851

"How cool, maybe you can investigate how to make those ghouls over there dead, preferably with your shotgun."

>>17246918
How does this "custom ammo" works btw? And how is "the spread" calculated with the shotgun?

"We would hate to interfere with your work gentlemen but since you ask so kindly I simply cannot refuse!"

aw, now that I have the time to actually participate in one of these, I realize that I'd have to spend a day on sup/tg/ just to know what the hell is going on

WInston, resort to silver nitrate rounds with your pistol to take out the small fry also you are I2 not I1.

COmmand, I will start he mission with the unattended units under my command.

>>17247064
"Understood, designation number changed.
I shall take the advice on the custom bullets, but might I inquire what makes these special beside the cost and the implication from pop-culture that silver is good against the undead?"

Splint wakes up and wakes his platoon with a pair of kicks.
"Why the FUCK didn't you idiots wake me up?"

special is code for make up whatever bullet type you want allowing you to be effective again anything? Got a vampire problem? Shoot it with garlic bullets. Ghost? Ghost bullets. Tanks? AP round. etc

Acion Phase.

I thought this was the checkpoint. What in the hell happened to it ?

Looks like this dark forest is giving the ghouls as much shade from the sunlight as possible.

This is to separate random chattering from commands. Making it easier and faster for IC to process phases. Failure to follow these conventions can lead to having your post ignored. (New people get some leniency if IC realizes what happened)

Also you still get all your actions and moves after deploying so don't forget to shoot something when you deploy.

The fighting outside finally wakes him up, sitting upright in bed he has a look of utter disgust...until he notices the detention center bars are open. Looks like the CO lied...he couldn't be caged... Picking up some equipment from a nearby stand he heads to the source of the most noise

Stepping out of the wagon assessing the situation "Hmmm... so these are the so called "ghouls", they are not as smelly as I expected but I guess that's because we are moving."

>>17248062

It's good, but we're not in action phase yet. Be sure to reinput those commands when the next action phase occurs, and feel free to take any actions when you deploy.

If I had been in action last phase, I would've said to deploy on the third cart, where I could block the hordes of undead from reaching you - but you should probably deploy near the rear of the second car right now.

That's not set in stone, see how things look at the end of the enemy phase.

"Hey, newbie's got his first shell shock! I'd congratulate you mate, but I think we're coming up on something messy. Keep your sights up! Hopefully we'll find some Voss for you to sink some lead into rather than just their undead puppets!"

"Those Ghouls musta overrun that checkpoint back there. Voss didn't even stand a chance. I'm tellin' ya, man. Out of the frying pan and into the oven." Womack flicked the spent cigarette off the train, quickly readying a new one just as quickly.

"This is just the beginning boys! Make sure you're topped off and good to go!" Paisley shouted to the two other squads with him.

"Sir--"

"Something on your mind, Hadley?"

"Is Corporal Armitage okay? I saw her get caught in that explosion, and she's looking a bit...pale."

"Pale?" Paisley looked up toward the stumbling corporal, trying to keep her balance as the train sped onward. "She don't look good at all. Could be Ghoul related, for all we know." He turned to face Hadley. "Good eyes, Miss Hadley. See if you can get Mary Susan on the horn; she might know something about this."

Well SHIT.

Okay, assuming you all AREN'T blown to bits when that fuckup of a shell drops, I suggest you take the following actions:

Speed up/emergency brakes on the train so the shell will drop ahead/behind the train. Preferably behind, but I don't doubt your ability to improvise some tracks in the event the shell hits ahead.

All personnel on the second car move at least 3 hexes away from the center of the blast. Or off the car. The bomb is a 7 hex comb aoe that does 2 crushing damage, + 4 destroy at the center of the blast.

In any case, I'm going to see if there's a possibility to either intercept or remote detonate the warhead before it drops on your heads.

>Roll to see if Big Shot can be stopped in time to prevent friendly fire.

The roar of the cannon deafened Sudsen. God he hated trains. This trip had been nothing but close calls and near misses and that was before their cover was blown. Armitage was getting worse, and he knew the only way to save would be to hack off the infection. He remembered back at the academy when he was shown first hand the horrors of that transformation. Yt was on the short end of a long list of nightmares he knew were waiting for them in Voss. The cannon ash was all around him now.He tried to make out the enemy Montank but he could barely see his own hand in front of his face let alone any weak point on that monstrosity. He gave the order to attack the gun sights to his squad member. Then it appeared like a black abyss in a maelstrom of chaos he could see the barrel, and the shot that lay within.
All he needed was one good shot...

"HOLY SHIT THAT RATTLED MY TEETH."

Action Phase.
Splint's platoon wiped out. He remains.

Twins remains.

Sweat rolls down the young corporal's brow, her whole body trembling as she wraps a bandage around her bitten arm. Seeing the discoloration of flesh creep under the cloth and continuing upward, she realizes that it's going to take a little more. Turning to her Captain, her beloved Isane, she slumps to the metal flooring of the train, barely registering the commotion and the cannon-fire all around.

"Hon...Please..." is all she can muster through ragged breaths, extending a knife in one shaking hand towards her

Major Gunther, I suggest throttling to maximum safe speed for the upcoming turns.

A possible plan for dealing with the rearward tank: fill up the last car with explosives and detach it from the rest of the train, and remote detonate it when the enemy tank invariably rolls over it.

Or, have soldiers on the car attempt to mount and capture/destroy the tank.

I also suggest using the arms (is that what they are?) to swat the SE tank, or to quickly turn/stun it.

A Holler of joy issued from Conrad's throat as he saw the tank explode with the shot fired from that beast of a gun in the second car.

"Toe tapping DAMN did you see that?" Before a hocking cough over took his throat, years of smoking a pack a day had not given him the greatest lungs.

"Shit Conrad give away out position why don't cha?" - Julia sounded off laughing at her SL's punishment.

"Go fuck yourself Gibs."

"You wish Sir." Came the hearty and geniune laughter.

Hellghasts, I would also like to inform you that spreading ourselves among the three cars is perhaps the best action regarding the two monotanks. If we cannot disable the tanks quickly, then we can assume that we will lose at least one train car, or at least lose a large portion of the individuals on the train car that they will fire on.

Until operations of the turret on the second car is determined, I cannot ascertain if the tanks will likely fire upon the car again. My advice at this time is again to spread yourselves out.

Twin Monos Critically wounded,
-VH1 is stuck.
-Armitage Stabliized

BrainCase exposed.

The Mono hosts are undead.

> To be Continued

=Concluding Session for Today=

ARGH! I just saw the thread! Oh well, when's the next one?

>>17252454

A suggestion for next game:

Disable the remaining functional mono tank by eliminating the brain commander, then we attach the now functional but operator-less tank to the rear of the tank for a secondary turret.

If possible, I also suggest scavenging the other disabled tank for armor and parts to reinforce and, if possible, improve the cannon on the second car.

>Will use Big Shot only when danger close is not an issue from now on, duuuur.

It doesn't even take a second, but she feels distinctly the snap of bone and the severing of tendons and muscle. Blinking through the tears streaming down her face, she looks to her side, over the red hot barrel as it hisses, burning the ragged wound shut. Blearily regarding the arm lying on the deck of the train, it doesn't quite register as hers. It was lifeless, an inanimate object now, leaking blood that couldn't possibly be her own. Then it all sets on at once, dizzy at all the blood loss, nauseous from the turbulent rocking of the train, the terrible feeling of loss washes through her. Bile fills her mouth, but she holds it back. She can't breathe, nothing makes sense, all of a sudden she barely knows where she is. Looking into Isane's eyes as she pulls the barrel away, she wants to lean over, kiss her, hold her, affirm her life, show her gratitude.

Instead, she blacks out in a puddle of her own blood and tears

It would seem command still likes trains. that's good to know, only ours had Infinity% more placenta

have a new irc channel or something of that nature?

"Hadley!"

"I think I'm missing an eyebrow!"

"New guys!"

A handful of weak shouts affirmed the new squads were still alive.

"Hey Pais?"

"What now, Womack?"

"What's that you said about not getting blown up again?" Womack put on the widest grin he could manage.

"Shut it, Womack!"

Isane moves swiftly, dropping her gun and kicking the chunk of infected flesh off the moving train. Within an instant she is kneeling by Armitage's side, the girl's blood staining the knees of her camouflaged fatigues, and begins tending to her wound. Using supplies from her basic field kit, she does her best to clean and dress the wound in a length of gauze. Her task complete, she finds herself staring down remorsefully at Armitage, and plants a soft peck on her forehead, before pulling off her own ragged jacket and laying it over the wounded grenadier. Hefting her machine gun, she vaguely notices the dark red blood halfway down the barrel, a reminder of the desperate measure she had to take.
"Don't worry... I'm, we're home, you'll be home soon..."

As if waking from a haze, Jasper's mind slowly comes to the realization that he's been standing still in shock for some time. Was it fear? He remembered shooting at some Voss zombies that appeared from the last train car, but the rest was a blur. Looking closer to his self, he now noticed the distinct spatter of blood strewn about by explosion. So that's where the ringing comes from...
Jasper's trance didn't last long, though, as the familiar visage of Jenkins floats into his view, mouthing something. As if on cue, sound is slowly returning to his ears.
"..ir! Sir! Are you allright?"
"I- I'm fine. Wh- what happened? Where's Jeremy?"
"Jeremy is fine, sir, but I can't say the same for our other teammates. In case you haven't realized it, sir, we're under attack by two Monotanks."
Jeremy suddenly crouched near Jasper.
"'Bout time you woke up! Ya dozed wit' your eyes open! One o' my cousins' chicken once did that, but the next day it's dead."
"Egh. Spare me your stories, Jeremy..."

Bumping. Are we going again today?

>>17266374

There's a wiki up; go read that.

While today is a red letter day for me. I'd like to spend today trying something new. An experimental quest perhaps. I'll keep you all posted. Maybe some suggestions would be nice. However I promise nothing.

>>17271770

We could probably finish that playthrough of Projejct Beldandy...

What about Zombie Quest?

>>17270556
Finch confirmed for not giving a fuck.

So, any news on that experimental thing, Monday?

So...game Tuesday? Only 12 DAYS until Hellghast bites it...

don't mind me, just bumping a bit.

Curious bump

So...no game tonight?

Any news, Monday? When's the next one planned?

So far, nothing confirmed. IC is busy with some RL stuff.

>>17285044

Aw, phoo.

Excuse me, but:
This looks amazing. What the fuck is it?

>>17287440

>>17287433

10 Days? 10 days until what?

>>17288226

Long story short: we've got 10 days to wrap up this campaign or all of us are gonna die, our souls eaten by some unspeakable eldritch horror. So.

>>17291667
Weren't those ingame gay and not metagame ones?

>>17292144

Nope, metagame days. We really only have 10 days to get this shit wrapped up.

Reporting for duty.

Will refrain from firing the Big Shot unless shit hits the fan real hard this time.

due to the human function known as sleep, commad has woken up 6 minutes passed the midnight deadline to start a game. There wont be further IH games this week due to other reasons involving the transport of deer and one 400 pound cadaver in a red suit.
