Your mission is to infiltrate into the Tallspire Mountain chain, locate an extensive underground cave network, pinpoint the exact location of the Theurgical facility, make your way through the wards, the guards, the patrols, the guns, the warbound servitors, the Pytherian Ever Faithful Guards, the mud, the blood, the bullets and then destabilise the facility. Whatever mechanism the Pytherian warmachine is using to channel the Swarm and maintain their bond with this planet is located within this cave network. Your job is to throw a wrench into it.

And then, hopefully, get out alive.

As either Trenchers or Coordinators, your task is to be the boots on the ground and the pinpoint source of violence in the storm.

Trenchers benefit from specialised training and a . . . unique . . . talent that allows a lateral approach to hostile situations.

Coordinators have a direct line to Command and benefit from being surrounded by a squad of loyal(?) competent(??) troopers.

Pilots are equipped with our Mark-3 Heavy All Terrain system. You can call it the MHAT. As a Pilot, your job is to draw enemy fire, be a forward scout and rallying point and to apply heavy munitions to soft targets.

Piloting takes a bit of a deft touch because these old MHATs are not the easiest of equipment to manage. If you can make the MHAT dance, you can outfight entire fireteams and run circles around the heavier Pytherii vehicles. If you can't then you will soon find yourself on foot, running from a wrecked vehicle, avoiding gunfire.

It should be noted that all Infantry carry Multi-Tools, which can be used to repair superficial structural damage to your vehicle. Your armaments can be used to inflict structural damage to the enemy. It's a symbiotic relationship.

Trenchers takes place in a loosely connected universe. You may have seen some threads before - they are not required reading. The link is below.

The system is 3d6 roll under. Lower is better for you. To roll dice, type dice+3d6 in the options field. You want a group of 3d6 for every discrete action you take. Firing at two targets? Roll 6d6.

It helps to list your stats and what you are trying to do!

>Fire at the hostile pathfinders by that rock (12 Acc)

The system is modular and flexible. If you want to TRY TO DO SOMETHING, maybe you're just the sort of badass who can pull it off. List the stat doing the work, because it REALLY DOES MATTER.

>Shove this guy into a pit (4 Grit)

Actions consume 1 AP or whichever is listed.

3-4 are critical. You want these.
17-18 fail. This isn't so good.

If your skill is higher than 14, you benefit from increased crit range. If a trencher were to aim for 3 AP and Spend 3 Focus, their Accuracy would be 16 and they would crit on 1-6. Aiming is beneficial like that!

Not sure what to put for MP or focus, I noticed coordinators don't have any listed if I'm not mistaken.

The human symbol is manpower/orders right? Do you start with a squad as coordinator, I noticed it has several men as opposed to the specialist with one.

What activities does assigning specialists replace? Are you restricted by using them?

You start with 10 brave* Troopers who follow you into combat. They can do things that you would expect any soldier with a gun and a shovel could do, such as build, shoot, throw grenades, etc.
Replacing your loyal** and unerring*** Troopers with Specialists gets you different squad compositions. Specialists are capable of different things than troopers, but some of them can't do the same things troopers can (like shooting people well).
MP is movement points. You don't get focus.

So will using specialists lower my base or is their price just the limiter.

>>3599998
It’d be right daft if adding a veteran or two to your team lowered your leadership, Co-Ord.

You can just only manage so many elements at once. That’s the cap you reach. You want a ten man sapper group? It ain’t pretty but it may be perfect. You want a five man veteran squad? Sure-wise. You want yon ten riflemen because by good great gears you’ll do this by the book? That’s that, then.

You want 10 veterans? You can’t handle ten veterans! You just don’t have the authority!

Command asked me to sell you the what-for, so here's how it goes.

This place is BIG. So we'll have to take it in steps. RIGHT NOW, we need to get to the Ward Chapel up ahead. I've sniffed it out, have a looksee. Marked as ONE, it's where the main patrols for this area congregate. We take that, this section is ours.

Point TWO is a camp for the sleepy. Guard Change is right now and they're working the poor buggers hard. Secure it before all the quiet little dreaming pathfinders wake up screaming and tear us all a new one in their bloody underpants.

Point THREE is the eastern access security station. It ain't essential. AVOID IT. We take that later. Right now, it's just a housing for a few officers and some maps. If we get their attention, reinforcements will flood in from the other sections.

A nice knock-out grenade oughta do the trick, or if you're some kind of SPECIAL FORCES BASTARD, maybe you can take 'em all quiet-like.

This section is guarded by PATHFINDERS and LEGIOS. Pathfinders are lightly armed and armored but quick. Legios are heavy, shielded and soak fire. Grenade 'em if you want to put a dent.

There's a bunch of their THEURGES skulking around. This lot is all Brightsworn Adherents. Pyromancers, that is, and they'll DIRECT the others. Take 'em out if you get eyes on 'cause otherwise they'll be all organised.

Any questions?

Things you touch (1 AP) are re-oriented along a vector you decide with an acceleration factor of your grit. Roll Close to touch people who don’t want to be touched. Give things a light tap for 1 AP, or increase the accel factor by 1 AP.

>>3600031
It means you pay 2! to use the MG. That's what it costs to activate the MG. Hookshot costs the Minimum Amount, which is 1!. However, that is to FIRE IT. Once the hook lands, it is another ! to reel, or swing, or spool, or... And it is yet another ! to detach the Hook and spool it back for another shot.

>>3600035
Weapons are always active. You spend the AP to "use them", as it were, which we refer to as "activate" because it is more appropriate for some of the .... other... designs. So 2! to use the MG, 4! for the cannon (which then needs to reload for 6).

Spend 1 Ap freely for +1 to hit, which is pretty useful.

So if the veterans are always on overwatch can they not initiate combat on player phase? Do I have to order the troopers to go to overwatch? If I were to use veterans to breach a building or enter unscouted territory would they roll reaction fire from overwatch?

>>3600246

Also, that looks like a standard issue MHAT. Too chicken to take the experimental one? Aheheh.

>>3600237
Paint will scrape a nudge but it can be fixed. Your Vehicle occupies 1 full Hex, and cannot squeeze into smaller areas. Infantry occupy 1/4th a Hex and can squeeze through tight spots.

Plenty of paths are available. And do remember, Pilot: In the eternal battle of high capability reinforced engine power versus rock, engine wins nine times out of ten. So sometimes you can, in fact, squeeze through a tight gap too.

>>3600251
The Veterans are always overwatching because they know that being shot is likely if they don't shoot the other bastards first. They're simply so damn good you don't even need to tell them to keep their guns up. On your phases, they function just like other troopers. On the enemy phase, even if the veteran in question was upside down blinded on fire grappled by a beast while homesick the Veteran would still count as overwatching.

But you do have to tell normal troopers to overwatch, yes. They're... They're just not as keen. And nope, they would use their normal accuracy to fire. Think of it as a delayed attack.

You are right that versus some things that are very fast, they would have to roll reaction first to see if their overwatch goes off.

Infantry has Consumables. Use cost is listed (3 AP Trencher, 1 AP + 1 Active Coordinator). Using a Consumable consumes a point of Gear from your unit.

Gear can be restocked on the field via lucky scavenge or friendly re-supply.

Effect is 1d6 per Gear spent (A Explosive Grenade is thus 1d6 EX, a First Aid Kit heals 1d6). Gasmasks and Rope just do their thing, depending on what you're trying.

A scuffle ensues as some 17 soldiers try to move into a path that allows 2 abreast. A few shoves solve it, mostly.

Good plan to send the Veterans and Assault up ahead, but they're as fast as a Coordinator - and only have 3 movement. They won't make it much further than anyone else.

Yes Coordinator, you can. Given that your Actives help you accomplish orders, and the orders you give are what you want to accomplish it is entirely and utterly reasonable to go

>Grenade that target (2 Veterans, vs 10)
>Bring shields to front (3 Assaults)
>Everyone else, covering fire (3 Troopers, vs 11)

you just assign which actives does what went you tell 'em what to do. Don't need to micro-manage them, as such. General orders are fine and expected.

If you move, the squad also tries to organise in a way that's effective. So the Assaults will place themselves towards enemy fire, troopers will seek cover. If you want to be specific, you can give a general order as you move at no cost as part of the move

Command may have misunderstood the grammar of that query.

Individual orders are still 1 AP the order. So even if the squad is in cohesion, you cannot execute

>>Veterans and Troopers shoot X target. Assaults bash X target, Sappers defuse/plant bomb.

As as single 1 AP order. You'd have to organise the elements individually. Otherwise you have to be more general and let your soldiers handle it.

>All actives: Protect the sappers as they work on defusing the bomb (skill x + actives involved)

Now I have 2 AP left, but, of course, my Actives are assigned to an order already, so I'd have to do whatever I want to do myself.

And Actives can only ever be assigned to one thing a turn. Otherwise They Get Confused.

This is because 10 Actives is pretty low and once you start controlling ally elements, you can have 20 actives going. Don't micromanage yourself to death for efficiency gains, stick to general orders and assign actives to them.

Forward. Full engagement. Take us through the rock.

The Scorpio fires off another shot, which glances across Pilot' Johns armor. The Pathfinders follow up with a barrage of sapper grenades before they break and scatter into available cover.

From the other side of the section an MG opens up, the bullets pinging off of the tank armor. Trencher Roslin near takes six slugs. Glancing up, the trencher spots an advancing group of Legio who are looking to get written up as exemplars of valour by breaching into the vehicle.

Trencher Roslin bars the hatch with his body.

We may need to offer some REMEDIAL COMBAT INSTRUCTION, you DEAD HARD KILLER SQUAD of STONE COLD VETERANS

You give AN ORDER with ONE ACTION (!)

You add ACTIVES to the ORDER to get +Effect and +Skill.

VETERANS are DEAD HARD and add +2 Effect, +1 Skill.

>Stevens, Rogers, take out that machine gun! (Acc 8+2, +4 Effect).

This consumes 2 Actives and 1 Action Point

You have 2 more action points and 3 more actives in a 5 man veteran squad.

You only need to roll once.

For "FLASHBANG THAT GROUP OF LEGIO" you ask your 5 man squad to do it and direct it carefully with your last 2 action points.

So

>Hurl Flashbang Grenade 1 2 1 2 1 [Acc 8 + 5 +2 fromAP, Effect + 10. -1 Gear]

Roll once vs 15.

You throw it into smoke past a large obstacle at slight range increase, total -4, vs 11, roll 9, flashbang hits.

If you want to THROW MORE FLASHBANGS, you SPEND MORE GEAR

If you want, say, be smooth

>Johnson, flashbang that group of legio (Acc 8 +1, Effect +2. Costs a gear)
>Rogers, Stevens, get us some cover (Effect +8)*
>Wilson, Orshias, gun down those pathfinders (Acc +2, Effect +4

*3 base per active, +1 per veteran, so 4 per veteran is 8 cover.

In any case, you roll 3d6 vs your core stats + modifiers. The modifiers come from your actives helping and the situation. When 5 soldiers work together, you add +5 to your base skill. When you have 2 extra AP, you add +2.

FT Crane, you there? We need to flank around to the West -- {6}-wise, if you would -- and hit the tank from behind. Watch the MG, and keep your eyes peeled; they'll have defenses for sure, but not as much as this entrenched frontal area.
This MG has an AP belt, should be able to grate the light craft from behind.

Trencher Op End

Commander Gerean:
Excellent work, people. Get the wounded to the triage stations and reload.

Touch and go there for a moment.

Someone get Pilot John and Trencher Eriolas to the infirmary. Being hit by an Intangible Sword carries Complications.

Round up the Prisoners and hand them over for processing. We'll get them out of the area and to a camp for management and medical treatment.

I must admit... I was expecting you would burn the tents. To see that you have not is commendable. This war might have made monsters of our old neighbours. It does not have to do the same to us.

Thank you.

Woo!

Unexpected Infantry Survivors may, as always, benefit from increasing a stat or a skill by 1.

No, you cannot increase your AP.

Unexpected Ace Pilots may restock their vehicle's full complement of integrity and DR, change enabled modules and experimental systems and increase A SKILL by one.

You may force R&D to make another roll on the Experimental Systems Table, but this means the gear has to be field-tested on your vehicle during the next operation

All players may roll 3d6 vs a skill or stat of their own choosing for downtime activity. Specify what you are trying to do / investigate / train / learn.

Teamwork adds +2 per additional pair of helping hands, embeds you in the consequences and outcome.

Mhmyeah nurse, wasn't first precisely, won't be last. Jes' make sure I don't wake up from the procedure with extraneous new competencies. Like knittin' or concert cello. Ohhhh, the guff the guys give me, nurse...

The rest of The Tallspire Cave Complex remains. Patrols, wards, guards, embedded defensive positions.

All hewn from the rock with one singular purpose.

When you say we can increase a stat or skill by 1, does that include AP and MP?

Also, when you say 'teamwork' do you mean teamwork between Players, members of a single Player's fireteam, or both?

For me, Eriolas, the Emir of Fighting Men, this injury is but a trifle. I'll only grace the infirmary with my presence because the nurses there adore my visage.

[Flagrant Voracity]: Gain a [Threshold] stat of 3. Roll vs Focus to Mark something for Destruction. It takes your THRESHOLD as extra damage or deals it as extra effect. It becomes HIGHLY VOLATILE. You can have THRESHOLD marks going at once. Things touched by detonations may spread the Mark automatically. You are immune to all fire and all explosives. In Close Combat, your hands disregard DR.

>Questions and concern
1. Can I increase the personnel assigned to my squad?

2. What happened to the AT gun we "captured"? Will we be able to keep it and use it for next phase?

MP is fine. It is your movement stat. Increasing it makes you faster, which has all kinds of knock-on consequences. Increasing AP takes something else entirely.

And Coordinators and Trenchers and Pilots. While the Troopers are effective, they aren't very good at displaying them there "initiative" qualities, so they do not help you overmuch when doing the non-standard.

>>3604834
You increase Authority.

It is right there. The engineers are looking into it.

Hey Majesty. While I got your audience from this here adjacent infirmary bed, how's about you and me and some sappers try and rustle up some special cannon ammo, with more of them juiced-up crystals for payloads?

Last time a theurge tried some tricks with a tampered crystal in the vicinity, he took out hisself and a squad of Legio instead. Throw one of these things hard enough and you'll get a real purty explosion. But maybe better, we givem a cloud of fallout that the theurges gotta tread carefully. Waddya say?

>>3604847
How amusing! Very well, I'll provide you with my company.
