Cool Cool, its good to hear that infantry support is doing well nearby the idea of a deployment zone. Where is this Gargant?

My regiment is also mostly infantry (with some sentinel support), we just typically deploy from Valkyrie/Vendetta.

The Gargant is with the Dread Mob that is (slowly) moving towards the Space Elevator. I'm sure your guys would probably see my Flyers returning to base, and you could probably write up some of your guys talking to one of my pilots about it.

Actually I was thinking maybe an unveiling of the Treads of super heavies and over hundred heavies rolling out from the Space Elevator ready for battle. Maybe having some comms of the situation to organize deployment and provide cover for your flyers.

Actually, that's pretty decent. My flyers basically go back to re-fuel and re-arm, and either on the way back to base, or flying towards the elevator one of my pilots can tell your guys what's going on.

Drakka's characters know nothing of the meeting to bring down the Gargant. That was kind of the reason I was going to send him after the Tau

They might know if I choose to tell them about what's going down.

It would be Irish who tells them because he is the head of command.

What's Irish's unit and how is the chain of command currently?

Irish's army is the Emperor's Hounds, and he's giving the orders currently because his roll was the closest.

Well they are Marines, if I am reading everything alright. So it makes sense. Now do I do up a number if I am just reinforcing a sector? And is Irish still pretty active recently?

Dang, with all these new Imperial factions coming in, I might have to speed up progress on the Megalith

How big is a zone and how are we calculating ranges?

Good point, and my Artillery Batteries could dig in and possibly help against the Kroot at the Governor's place. Basilisks are a wonderful thing. And Have my other three battalion deploy around the elevator and patrol? what actual threat is right there?

The kroot are working for the governor as mercenaries, they are not hostile, yet.

Help against? My Kroot are working for the governor. In fact, that imbicile is relying on Ta'lok to help him out with the Tau right now, and any actual defense on his island.

Well I hear you guys still have an Ork problem that the God-Emperor's Hammer Guns can provide some help with. Its heavy firepower just a ponderance to redeploy once done. Irish, since you Hounds have command. Direct your reinforcements lol.

Its 4 Super heavies, 120 Heavies, 50 or so Artillery, and a smattering of medium to light vehicles, including anti air platforms.

I am now but i have exams in two days time that will last until the 17th, not sure how active I will be then but I will try and be on daily.

You could always delegate battlefield authority temporarily.

I'm going to be doing some hard bloody work. Looks like I pulled assault duty. Hope I have some back up.

I'm confused, if you are talking about the ork gargant then I wont be making any actual decisions as blackjack is the one writing it.

As the warlord of the imperium, its up to your commander to inform the brand new reinforcements of the Gargant because IC my regiment knows very little.

You have air support, and a bunch of Guardsmen who can drop in wherever they're needed to support you.

I'm going to be fielding as a full heavy company. Armour, artillary, anti air. Spartan, marstadon.
Full heavy armour brigade.

No real need Jfe90 to field an armored brigade when a Full Heavy Armor Regiment is deploying w/ Artillery Support. What its light on is actual infantry. War Kitten maybe provide ground pounders for Tank Support?

I would toss in my Guardsmen but they're on garrison duty.

Ok mech brigade but im not ground pounding in trenches without mobility . I'm gonna have to hit hard and pretty fast.

WK, I'll assist in air support.

I'll have the Carcharius, my 3 Fire Raptors, and my Assault rams acting as the head of the Titan Hammer

Mobility is always good. I will probably post tomorrow a entry IC post of the Regiment arriving via the Space Elevator. Then they need to get informed and then we need to make a IC battle plan to engage.

We aren't forgetting about the knights are we ?

I can hold my heavy force as a reserve line. ?

We have 4 knight suits. A super heavy company, marines, artillary, air borne. More marines.

This is looking like a army now.

Let me see if we got this right?

Drakka77 (myself) Deploying an Full Armor Regiment
Jhe90 Deploying a Brigade of Mechanized Infantry as Armor Support
Kharne Deploying ?? Aircraft support
War Kitten Deploying ?? Air Calvary Support

And against is a Mechanized Army of Killa Kans and a Gargant (Ork Titan)
