Isn't the Space Elevator on Crion? and Doesn't that make the orks there too? or am I mis reading the maps?

No that is what we are trying to stop, if they reach the space elevator on Luna Maximus they could travel to Luna Epsilon or Crion hence why we are fortifying the elevator.

Fair point.

Ok sp I know the elavator is the fire base.

Where the wolf line forming up?

Fort Deacon. That is our first line of defense. Our next line is the desert and that is where I am and then we have the Elevator itself with the Helsreach Gorgons and the Stone Wardens

What are we the anvil ? If so I imagine it might be the at the opening of the canyon but it all depends on how Blackjack wanna writes it. EDIT: or you know, what TS said, nevermind

The Inquisition

The one in a hive? The one where Tanks are just likely to cause harm as to help? I am not as useful as infantry. Unless I deploy two regiments or something. Armor regiments are generally for big battles with lots of space to roam. I can deploy there especially one battalion is armed for urban fighting as Tanks but I have my Battalions optimized for different skill sets.

1st Battalion led by the Baneblade is my kind of run of the mill Battalion
2nd Battalion led by the HellHammer is a bit more urban
3rd Battalion Led by a DoomHammer is a Titan And Tank Hunters
Then a Scattering of various Artillery and light Tanks make up the last Battalion but it has basically a mobile Fortress as its command tank.

Why do you have four(!) tanks battalions?

I suppose due to the close proximity of Canis Caelum I could send a handful of aircraft to hold the line and provide a refuelling point for allying aircraft

Its a Fully Heavy Armor Regiment. There are no Brigades. It is how I divided my tanks and the command. The full numbers of each archtype is on the forum but it breaks down roughly

For Regiment Totals
120 Leman Russ
3 Baneblade Variants
1 Malcador Variant
40 Artillery Pieces
20 Anti Air Pieces
12 Light Tanks
6 Ammo Transports
40 Recovery Tanks

Tank Battalion Totals
40 Leman Russ
1 Banebalde Variant
10 Recovery Tanks

And the rest are in the Artillery Battalion.

120 LRBTs is a huge number for a single Imperial Guard Regiment. I would say that 40 is a more suitable number.

You are the GM if you really want only one Battalion but Me and a good portion of the RP part of Eternal Crusades did a research break down of how tank regiments are formed for IG. They go in squadrons of three and three squadrons form a company lead by a command tank making each company 10 tanks Eah battalion would have 3-5 companies so I chose three. Each Battalion is lead by a baneblade with a command escort of ten tanks (basically a command Company), then had three battalions form a regiment with a support battalion of Artillery and light escorts.

A Full Regiment is a heavy thing when you talk Tanks that is why they are only deployed in crusades or as attachments.

Alrighty, so Deploying half a regiment and the other half is NPCing somewhere in orbit.

I will deploy 2nd and 3rd Battalions considering the situation as I understand it. 2nd Battalion Down the Space Elevator to support the main Imperial Push as I understand it. And 3rd Battalion seconded to the Inquisitor for Urban Recovery Operations.

You are going to go help on Crion or Moon Epsilon. Go protect the capital from the Orks or go attack some Harlequins or something.

This Irish is what I am talking about.

If that is what you are talking about, then I need you to go fight the Tau and go get stuck in on the Chaos moon.

Fight the Tau? You mean, the Tau that only two people in the Imperium know about?
Paynne stopped any knowledge of the Tau leaking out, so only he could direct forces to fight. Your Arbiters know nothing about this.
In fact, there are only a few factions aware of the Tau:
1) Tobias Paynne, his adjutant and Ta'lok
2) Hannibal's Orks
3) The AHC-02 Tillers
4) Buttery Commissar's Emperor's Children
5) The Necron/Tau alliance.

Exactly. To attack the Tau, you need to know they are there.

This is correct. Guard regiments are BIG. Infantry ones easily number in the thousands.
3 Tanks = Squadron = Platoon
3 Squadrons + Command Tank = Company = Company
Companies make up the regiments, and there is usually a lot of companies. 12 Companies is not too outlandish.
I'm not sure on Brigades personally, no idea how they fit, but even if it is just Companies making up Regiments, 12 is easily feasible.

Don't expect Ta'lok to go talking about the Tau either. He is just a dirty xenos who can't be at any meetings anyway. What goes around comes around, gue'la.

Also, I think it'd be funny for some Imperial scouts to try and check out that island, and nommed on by some nids instead.

So I know Tactical wants me to stay away from Moon 1 and away from the ork battle. So besides helping inside a city. Where is an Imperium deployment? I am resisting a urban deployment because that is a Tanks worse nightmare. There they are the most vulnerable and most limited.

No, it's really not. In the Guard novel Gunheads an Armored Regiment is about 100 tanks strong iirc.

Forge a new battleline. Form a host and charge into an unknown area, heedless of the risks.
Explore ancient ruins. Find new archeotech and relics.
Act as a backup for the main Imperial host.

Good Ideas. How about a battleline around Crion Space Elevator. And How many tanks and stuff depend on How much of a regiment I am allowed to deploy. I post about creating an motorpool and Artillery Defense line around and at it.

I hear that there is an entire continent overrun by orks. Why don't you go there?

Look, TS mainly wants you to not be in the gargant battle because Chazz doesn't have a lot of action by him right now, so his GMing is slow right now. Also, I'm sorry your entry to the crusade has so much confusion, it's just a chaotic moment in the crusade right now.

That isn't the problem at all. I am fine not fighting the Orks Gargant. The problem right now IC I have no reason to deploy anywhere as no one is actually making any calls and TS doesn't seem to understand as powerful as tanks are they don't charge into unknown situations or just randomly deploy. There are two main formations for Tanks a Static gun line of Artillery or an Armored Column. Tank tactics are really narrowed with no infantry support. They rarely deploy without it. This is why Guard deploy as Army Groups not regiments. Regiments are meant to be weak in battle without a whole army group so if one turns traitor it is easy to destroy.

I'm scared to do anything in Hive Cogger right now. One wrong move and I'll get dogpiled by EoN and Chazz.

If you're willing to wait to do too much I could see about having my Guard deploy and fight alongside yours. Air-cav might be a decent compliment for you (maybe)

I am fine to wait, and am fine to have a easy deployment setting up supply lines and a motorpool to take care of that many vehicles. Besides I want the Artillery to stay where it goes. On Crion is fine. The range of Basilisks is ridiculous anyways.

I am a Soldier in real life so I know a little about tactics and strategies. Even those that are brutal like meat grinder. I am just trying to find out my limits so I can make a strategically sound move. I understand TS motivations an is fine with it. Inquisitor will have his battalion of tanks.

You haven't deployed yet. You can always change what you are doing.
