Your the one making babies, im just making a single date.

Well the only thing standing between a fluff update post and moving along, is having to manually italicise everything due to phone typing.

Then I can get on with being mauled by things with too many limbs.

You're not alone at least my friend. I got mauled by things of the 2 limbed variety. Fethin' Orks.

I just got mauled by orks too.

It's a bad dice roll day

Nice rolls, WK. Out of the frying pan and into the fire for my Histans, it seems.

You really shouldn't ask me to do anything it seems. Don't worry, I volunteered to have the brunt of the casualties on my Marines. About 5-10 dead Marines (which is rather high for the strikeforce I planned to send)

Yeah, I took 20-30% casualties, according to Smudge. Not sure how many men that is, as I'm not sure how big of an invasion force we sent.

You only just got reinforced.

:-(

I have several companies sat hunting orks and gensetaler

I feel bad lol

It's left to us I think. I probably sent a demi-company (so about 10 deaths for me), and since your guys came down after mine, you probably didn't take many losses. We did kill some Orks though, and that's what counts.

Hire some meat sheilds.

Aka the death korps lol

Not knowing how many marines are in a demicompany, would three five-man fire teams be a fair force? I'm not good with exact squad sizes and what is and isn't a fair force yet, so some help with the numbers would be great.

Demi is 50 marines 3 tac, a assault, 1 dev roughly by codex

Ok, then I'm going to need a lot more men, without a doubt. Thank you, for that.

Hmm, I'm thinking one platoon consisting of one command squad and twelve ten-man squads then, with possible sentinel aupport? I need to have more men than the astartes for sure, but troop organization is something I'm awful at (if you couldn't tell)

Oh I have no force org.

I have 300-400 Marines, 500 catchans, 1250 fausteens, death korps, they have no numbers. Because.

Though I have a few named characters

Okay there's the last of the Sovereign fluff. And the vomit.
I decided to just roll it all out in one go rather than feth about with pacing. If and when something happens to the RT, we'll crack that nut as it comes.

Back to getting 2bj1s guys returned, now.

My force was probably:

3 Tactical Squads
1 Assault Squad
Centurion Devastators
1 Venerable Dreadnought (Contemptor)

So that's about 44 bodies total (not including transports). 20% of that is just a hair over 8 casualties for me. If you're going by how a platoon is organized in the Guard codex you have.

1 PCS
2-6 Infantry Squads
A few Special Weapons teams (if you so choose)
0-5 Heavy Weapons Squads.
1 Conscript Squad.

That's just by the Codex; however, you can probably replace the Heavy Weapons with Sentinels in your case.

I was just looking at lexicanum, and it isn't very specific with details there. I'll probably go off of the codex list, but mat a few changes. Besides, according to fluff, regiment, squad, and platoon sizes vary largely.

Got up a blurb about the Eldar/New Order alliance potentially starting up.

The Platoon org I put up was my memory of how a platoon is organized in the Guard codex. You're free to mess around with it, that's just the basic layout.

If I have a random conversation piece that I left out because that post was far too long to begin with, do I spoiler it and drop it in, or hide it in here similarly?

Probably spoiler it and drop it in. Your writing is already better than mine. Heh

Well, it's just a little exploration of one of Fairfax's "strays"; how Selka wound up alone.

It makes me swing between deciding the Guinea containing that fairly obscure branch of the Inquisition that deals with time anomalies, and sanctioned Xenos.

I hope you all are having a very good holiday season. I will be absent from the crusade for the next week or two .

2bj1,EoN, and anyone else in the coalition, I trust you guys can have the delegation with out me . Smudge, if you want, you can write my part in to the delegation.

TS, I don't want to come back and see a couple Nova Cannon shells inside my planet

Happy holidays to all, untill I return, then it's back to Dirge-Fethery

I have posted about my own path now... New Order will not be taking orders from the Cadians any time soon

You don,t take orders full stop lol

It's quite alright, WK. I've written worse on here, and I'm not afraid to admit it. One recommendation I have us maybe split if into paragraphs, so it's not just one block of text? I'm almost exclusively on here using my phone, so it makes matters worse, but that's more of a personal problem.

In hindsight, I apologize of my paragraphs are small sometimes, but that's because I also write everything on my phone. At the very least, now you gave me an idea in how to write up my bit, so thanks for that.

I normally do use paragraphs. I didn't think it was long enough to split into two. I blame the college essays I've been writing the last few months. My Ultramarines are imitating their brothers at the very beginning of the Crusade.

Like I said, it is probably my phone not being able to show it properly as well, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.
