So if Manchu makes orks N°1 army of the week, you'll be an ork?

Still interested to see a greenskin JHWDD.

From a tactical POV, orks should have their 3 armies back and running as others had theirs really fast back on line.

I'd consider it.

Don't hold your breath.

Or maybe the game should just go into "you snooze, you lose".

I am leaning toward John's position here. For the meantime, someone can take over the Freebooterz. I don't care if it ends up being John or VS as long as someone is playing Nids. The Bloodaxes are going to drift. If they survive until NW or Alby are back or someone who hasn't been playing G1 joins, they'll be saved. Otherwise, open season. Fair?

Sohave freebooters or whoever had a turn today yet?

Last post of freebooterz was 02/07/2010

to be more precise:

Today moved =

- Biel Tan
- World Eaters
- Ulthwe
- Kraken
- Vostroya
- Blood Axes

Not moved yet =

- Goffs
- Red Corsairs
- Night Lords

- Cadians

uncontrolled and not moved =

- freebooterz

So shall I take over freebooters or is it not worth it due to them being like at 4 or w/e

If kraken didn't munch them that much, those freebooterz may still be at +-10.
You could run and reinforce. A bit boring maybe, as 4 tends to take up 4-5 turns to raise enough new boyz to fight.

We could agree at a nonaggression treaty.

Just move away from vostroya and kraken as these will kill the freebooterz....

On nom nom...Oh wait I mean *ahem* WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was quick.

What would be really interesting is if convert them over as Nids now, as a Kraken splinter.

*After a strict regiment of practice hours, the Cadians were prepared to move to phase 3 of the plan. Everything has worked as the agent of the ordo ( deleted at request of =I=)told him, the Templars sacrificing their lives, the Ravens taking the secondary targets down with them, and now the critical part of the plan of the Tacticae was his duty.
So far, his fake "kill" of the Ravens lulled those ignorant to the Emperors light in false security.
He knows, he couldn't sleep welll with the risk of a single blade in the night at his throat, but alas, the Vostroyan commander should
already have the coded message in his hands. Leaving his quarters, Col Kurtzweil met his ally of the ordo ..( deleted at request of =I=)
who offered to join him on his way to the bridge of the "Creed's Retribution".*

" Your sure about this Nicholai? I do not trust these men, they forgot their duty to the throne once and..."
" Our prognosis of the behaviour of them was correct, wasn't it Colonel?"
"Yes, but.."
"Dare to question us?"
"No,..."
"So we can move on to phase 3. Just stick with the plan and we assure you all will turn out as expected."
*Falling silent and reminding himself of the quick change this agent of ( deleted at request of =I=) had brought upon the Cadian forces ,
Colonel Kurtzweil welcomed the sight of the Guard saluting when he finally entered the bridge.*
" All stations attention. We will move, he wills it. "
*glancing to the agent of ( deleted at request of =I=), the Colonel ordered his fleet full ahead, set on a course to its new target.*

I am terribly vexed by this suggestion of jumping in and out of command. It's lame.

I also support you snooze you lose. Either having your army do nothing or you lose it to a "coup".

One person should definately not control two forces either alliance or no.

Agreed -- no one will control two forces at the same time unless everyone is allowed to do so from the beginning. I have allowed people to take over abandoned armies for the sake of keeping good, accountable players (who also happen to be good, accountable Dakkites) in the game, brainstorming how they would like to see this thing run better.

And on that note, allow me to clarify my intentions regarding the rules we've worked out together: anyone can cannabilize anything from this game and start their own at any point. I don't claim any kind of right to decide what happens with the ideas that have emerged here. I just want to see good content on dakka that brings the members together day after day.

So if you want to start brainstorming your own version or populating your own game here on Dakka, by all means--I will probably even sign up myself. I have actually been hoping that this is eventually what Game Two would be like anyhow.

"Now is the hour to strike", Danu signaled as her ship the Heart of Isha slid into position to lead this decisive strike. Her adjutant, the Autarch Lugh, had been chafing at Danu's decision to take the lead, while leaving him as the commander of the reserves. She had thought of telling him the true reasons for such but her divinations had warned against doing such. Looking around to make sure everything was exactly as foreseen, Danu waited for all ships to signal their readiness.
When the final Ship reported ready and on station, Danu looked around in martial pride and gave the order to commence her final attack on the crippled diciples of the adversarry. The Heart of Isha lurched forward as they began the jump to the Iyanden's sector.
The jump was finished all to soon and a crowded sector confronted the Farseer.

The following message announced the beginning of the strike,"You corrupted followers of the advessary where warned. This space belongs to the Eldar. To the Mon-kiegh who have purged themselves of a diseased commander. We will leave you to your journey to the Gamma sector." Danu was unsure if the message would be sufficient to let the now loyal mon-kiegh know that they were no longer a target but she had no more time. The strike had started.

Biel-Tan reinforces(1), Moves to Iyanden and attacks the World Eaters(1)removing the threat of their taint from this sector of Eldar Space.

Missed the finishing blow.

well, ff is pretty quick on the trigger...

Bloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood.. wait its my blood.

Goodbye cruel world!

Aw, come on ff. Where's the epic killy story end game thingy?
BTW, I have no idea what's going on here with alliances, but I do support the 'you snooze you looze' or one of Shamans suggestions of coups. I feel that a max of 3 days should be allowed without a turn (as some may sit and wait for plans to unfold), but no longer. After that, they are should either be declared dead, lose a number of points each turn (Turn 1 lose 1, Turn 2 lose 2 etc) or be handed to another player in a coup. I really want to avoid a lot of factions switching hands.

Quelling the urge to launch an assault against the Beil-Tan, the Night Lords pursue the wounded Ulthwe to Epsilon. The Captain felt it's what the World Eater commander would have wanted.

Move to epsilon and reinforce

Due to the lackluster version of events presented by the barely sentient eldar; xenos who are only as self aware as rodents. I shall have to explain what happened.

The ship was coming apart. Barrages of xenos firepower ripped pieces from its hull. Even with his perception firmly anchored in the celestial rage of the Emperyan, Shamanos understood the vessel was done for. His mortal warriors, made for bloodshed were hardly adept at starship operations. The ravaged jewel of Iyanden glittered below.
“Mortal, crash us into the gypsy world ship. We shall make our stand there.”
The Berzerker whose name was unknown to Shamanos, grinned savagely at the order, flashing his bronze teeth.
“As you will it Slaughter Lord!”
The ship groaned, protesting as it performed the engine burn to direct the ship straight at Iyanden. Like a spear of an angry god the ship hurtled towards the craftworld. Xenos fire ceased as they risked hitting their sacred ground. Weaklings thought Shamanos.
In the frontal viewport Iyanden grew larger and larger. Everything began to shake violently, throwing several warriors off their feet. Although having only a passing interest in void war even Shamanos could tell their approach was wrong, none would survive the impact, his vassal had plotted the vector like a missile.
The bronze toothed Berzerker was roaring with fury. Shamanos was about to eviscerate him for his failures when the mad Berzerker tapped new commands into the console. The shaking grew severe, even Shamanos was forced to hold on. The few intact consoles blared warnings as the crippled ship struggle under the pressure of the leveling out vector.
Shamanos could now make out structures on the blasphemous craftworld. A colossal explosion from the rear of the ship signaled the end of the overtaxed engines. The insane yet controlled dive ceased as the vessel listed, then lost all control and tumbled toward the craftworld.
The warriors cursed at their new enemy gravity, as they were crushed against the bulkheads.
The ferocious titanic force of Iyanden struck the vessel. The vessel broke apart as the rear struck first. Shamanos watched as half the bridge and those warriors located there were instantly crushed as it made impact.
+++
Shamanos ripped himself clear of wreckage, carving a path to the cold artificial light of the xenos world ship. Behind him Bronze Teeth grunted and a cursed as he dragged himself behind. As he cleared the wreckage the Slaughter Lord surveyed the destruction before him. On all sides was the smoldering ruin of the ship he could not name. His daemonic sight perceived the survivors through the carnage of metal. He watched as most bled there last crushed beneath tons of admantium.
“Khorne weeds out the weak.” He muttered.
“Lord! Above.” Yelled Bronze Teeth.
In the sky above were hundreds of lights, raining down towards them. The Eldar had sent ground forces to meet them.
“Kharnath provides.” Bronze Teeth nodded in agreement with his Daemonic Lord.
Scant survivors from other parts of the vessel rallied around Shamanos. Including himself he counted eight, a good omen.
The glittering rain became tiny vessels which in turn then became tank sized vessels. From above they rained death, refusing to engage. Shamanos roared in fury as his blessed survivors were cut down by the deadly plasma fire.
One tank, more eager than its peers, flew low to tank shock the Berzerkers. In that instant Bronze Teeth stood fast, fired his plasma pistol and was cut in half by its hull. Shamanos leapt at it. His claw carving purchase in the wraithbone as the tank carried him up and into the air. The pilot looking more perplexed then terrified tried to jink his daemonic passenger free. Shamanos struck his warp blessed axe through the canopy and clean through the pilots neck. “Glorious!” He laughed as the Eldars soul was drawn into the weapon adding to its power.
The Slaughter Lord leapt free soaring like an eagle. The pilotless tank crashed and exploded below. He flew towards the next tank and watched in disgust as it sped away from him.
“Eldar!” There was no more apt curse. The race, a byword for fear, cowardice ,manipulation and sorcery circled him at great distance. Shamanos possessed not even close to the speed required to catch them. He roared pure hate as he chased them. All the while their weapons ripped into his flesh. He watched as eight tanks with enormous crystal lasers began firing at each other. Shamanos was sure this was not a good omen. He tried to dive away from the magnified death laser as it fired.
The incredible energy exploded into him. He felt no pain, but could feel his essence begin to flow back to the warp.
“Cowards!” he raged as his crippled form plummeted to the ground below. As it impacted it disintegrated. Shamanos’ essence fully translated to the warp.
The World Eaters were no more.

See you in 10 days, chaps! There's a large jug of sangria with my name all over it!

*The journey took longer than estimated, as something had stirred up the Empyrean, but now the Imperial Fleet arrived stilll in formation
and without remarkable casualties.*

This part of Ultramar should be free of the devourer or the greenskin menace. Instead of its famous defenders of the sons of Roboute,
there seemed to be only a few besieged Guard elements....

*Colonel Kurtzweil didn't question the plan, nor was he unwilling to fight in his name against whoever was the opponent, but why in his
eternal wisdom must it be at such a crowded place where he feared to land his dropships accidently on the heads of the Vostroyans?

Deployment of troops was already underway, embarked on his Tetrarch Lander col kurtzweil found a few minutes to reconsider the last events. The Eldar of Biel Tan "granted" his expedition free passage, which was fascinating as he wondered why anyone would stop him
from jumping into that hellpit of a struggle between Orks, Nids and IG there but as always, noone really understood the Eldar.

Comms had been silent, He had expected to hear from the Vostroyans, but maybe they deemed his cadians unworthy of their attention?
At least, the Imperial navy positioned the ships at firing range and poised their gunports towards the other fleet which may or may not belong to the IoM. Better safe than sorry.
Col Kurtzweil left the "Creeds Retribution" in the hands of the agent of the ordo ( deleted by =I=), even he disliked the thougth of his men beeing sent to the ground war without proper orbital bombardment.*

"Message to the Creeds Retribution: were in positipon for phase 3/ stage beta."

*Striding to his personal command vehicle, Col Kurtzweil sent for the Regimental banner. When his venture halted about 50 metres from the Vostroyan "lines", the Colonel signalled to unfurl their colors. Standing at the ready in a eerie silence, Colonel Kurtzweil stared at these
men who refuted to wear proper helmets and choose to wear parade uniforms. He had fought alongside many Guard regiments, but
those ahead of him seemed more alien to a cadians beliefs than most others. Time felt frozen but As seconds become minutes, a decision
would be made........*
