So in our case as IK players we'd probably deploy alongside one of the other Imperial Factions.

Yes

I thought there were going to be other types of terrain?
Mountains, deserts?

And are the landmarks where we're supposed to deploy or entirely incidental?

According to Chazz, the entire planet is severely overgrown. You could just call certain areas more mountainous than others.

The land marks are incidental.

Alright, time to pick a spot that seems like a jungle. It'd be good for morale, and hard to attack the Kroot if they have an ambush setup in a place just like their homeland.

What if I burn it?

That's a shame. :(

It'd have been fun to see stuff like deserts and things other than trees.

There are underwater hive cities. Are you telling me that isn't fun?

Alright. I guess who wants to have some Imperial Knights deploy alongside them? You have my Knights, and TS's Knights.

Yes. If you have tanks, Knights or anything that isn't hordes or space marines and infantry.

Unless the knights are secretly transformers, which st this point wouldn't slightly amaze me.

You caught us Buttery. Me and TS are secretly playing Transformers instead of Knights

There you go, blurb is out, Voidspider is dead, my forces are being moved to the main push.

I left a few men to keep Tainted some company.

There are mountains, they aren't named. I suppose the deep green on the continent to the right could be thicker woods while the ligher green could be less dense.

All in all, this planet was an agri-world originally and Chazz said the Imperium hasn't been around for a while (Blood Dragons were an SM chapter that had their monestary here)

Oh no, Overgrown plant life will be hard on my giant stampy death walkers.

I am thinking there might be super Flora in the really overgroawn parts. Hope you brought weed killer.

Does a Heavy Flamer count?

It may. Depends on if the plant gets the drop on you first though

This is why I can't have nice things...

Il land some redeamers or such then.....

Jungle warfare. Hmm.... A low yeild bombardment cannon daisy cutter Vietnam style needed for landing.

I can make the wolf\knight team a drop zone.

Isn't that meta gaming? You aren't aware there is super flora. You just know there is a lot of plant growth.

Time to make ourselves a landing zone boys.

The dasiey cutter is to clear back the smaller foliage and trees to make flat dropzones for larger craft. I'd need somthing alot bigger for mega fauna. Not meta gaming, its Vietnam style influence.

Vietnam influence, they dropped massive bombS to flatten the trees so you could land a helicopter in your now new clearing.

I see it as tactics, instead of using the watched clearing, come from where they do not expect.

It's a tactic from Vietnam and Afghanistan

While it's fun, I kinda feel like CoF 1 was killed off entirely by the CoF II discussion.
This topic went from excitedly discussing plot development and working together, to well, this.

Makes me genuinely uncertain about putting time into writing for either. Not because I want people pay attention and to talk about cuddlessars and oily governors, but because the pace has changed.
It felt more relaxed before.

Its a waste to use a redeemer, though.

I feel the same way, but after Smudge basically announced that the End Times were upon us there's not much else to do other than talk about what's to come.

Could talk about the conclusion of things on Julla, wink wink

Smudge moved it on because of all the pushing for 2 though. :/

It's unavoidable now, but after stuff like TS setting the pace for evacuating a planet (had he not left), and the expedited ending, I'm wondering how much room there even is for slow paced writers like me.
I enjoyed 1 because it was a community effort that wasn't particularly frantic.

Really well handled, and worth the build up.

I understand BC. I'm hoping to slow things down for the 2nd Crusade. I'll admit I'm guilty of wanting things to go fast in Crusade 1, but now that we're on one planet (plus orbital station and moon) I'm hoping to slow down drastically so I can explore my Knights fluff, and make some cool CSM characters.

I think I'll be running a Tau force for this new Campaign, lots of possibilities with them.
Don't worry about the Kroot, I've already got a fluff plan in place.
