You COULD bring in a second force like a few of us on here have. Have your armored regiment be your "second" force

You really do not want TS to keep his sanity do you? I think he has a lot of rolls to get back to people, adding wood to that fire isn't wise.

It's only fair. He mind-feths us, we test his sanity with all our rolls. Drakka could just keep it as a part of his overall Guard force, just like another Strikeforce

I at least think we should as TS FIRST before we get peoples hopes up. I am thinking in the long tun here.

TS has been off-and-on when it comes to being online lately. I merely proposed an idea, it can be discussed with him when the time comes.

Yeah, if you do make a second force, put it on Crion. 1) TS is fething busy and rolls have been lagging behind for a week or so now. 2) Chazz doesn't have as much action going on my him right now, and I'd like to think he'd appreciate some attention as well.

As always, 2BJ1 is the smart one here. He needs a pay raise for being the one to get us all back on track

You still raised the bar hope-wise. I think we should all just refrain from speaking about additional forces until TS gets back to being more consistently online. It means that nobody can be either right or wrong because nothing is getting thrown around.

Blackjack is right. He's a moderator without the tag.

Hive Cogger: The Battle of Twenty-Seven Armies

I rather like it

I won't add just yet even if I could. The seige regiment isn't for light warfare. It hits hard due to super heavies and heavies. But it also has two full infantry regiments designed for seige assualts and attacks from underground. They just are not very mobile.

Oh god yes. Can we please get Hobbit Easter eggs please?! PLEASE! PLEEEEEAAASSEE!

How big is a Mechanized Infantry regiment btw? Because I think I have been misinformed.

If things go as planned we'll have:

Eldar (me)
Guard (me)
Guard (Drakka)
Grey Kniggits+Inquisition and Penal Legion mooks (Chazz)
Cultist Mooks (EoN)
Flayed Legion (eventually EoN)

You forgot the Black Legionaires.

This is why I shouldn't do a bunch of stats work and Warhammer at the same time. My brain just melts

The American One is about 2000 soldiers strong, so IG looking at around 200,000 soldiers strong from my understanding.

I'd love to see you do two-factor ANOVA's for three hours and then try to Warhammer.

Now that seems off. I think I'm going to stick to 1.5ish K.

If I had any idea what that was, I would accept that challenge.

Sure. Just let me go name a bunch of my Sergeants after characters in the Hobbit.

If someone hires the Kroot, they can join in on Hive Cogger as well.

Ain't no party like a Cogger party, cuz a Cogger party never stops!

In the American Military we follow the 3-5 rule so.

3-5 Soldiers per team
3-5 Teams per squad
3-5 Squads per platoon
3-5 platoons per company
3-5 companies per battalions
3-5 battalions per brigade and so one.

IG are about 100 times bigger on a per unit level.

It still seems a tad big. I'll put it this way, in the 5th edition Guard codex, the Valhallan 18th "Tundra Wolves" (a light infantry regiment) had about 100,000 soldiers under arms iirc. Given that you're not a light infantry regiment, I'd say keep it under that mark by a fair bit. I mean, my Regiment has only a couple thousand fighting men and women in it.

Ja. I was gonna say that my sources said 40 men per platoon
1-6 platoons per company
1-6 companies per regiment.

Thus my army measured up to like 1440 men or something.

So you guys saw my numbers at little over 2000 as well. I was just pointing out from other sources we would be considered depleted regiments. Around 100,000 would be average. According to many resources regiment tithes would be 10 percent of a planets fighting force and a fighting force could be as little as 1 percent of a planets population. A hive worlds regiment would be in the millions and a feudal world could be as low as a couple thousand for a regiment. And numbers are not the whole story. For mine I say roughly 2000 troops but each one has his perfered 'mount'. (Motorbikes 'various patterns', Armored and Scout Sentiels of various patterns, Turos of various patterns, and Chimeras of various patterns. And dont forget a helping of horses and wyrms.) We are a well resourced regiment from a sector guard that has a forgeworld.

It could also be that the detachment sent here is just a small part of the whole. Maybe the bulk of the regiment was engaged elsewhere and just sent this small portion off to fight in this system?

Ok, I'm not going to read whats been going on but I'm assuming i involves Hive Cogger.

I will absent for the next week because I graduate from High school Thursday.

Goodluck all.

It mostly involves me, Drakka, and Vanden debating about how successful the Guard will be in holding off CSM in Hive Cogger when they inevitably come for us

Well, they might do alright, until my reinforcements for EoN show up.

Good luck for Thursday Kharne. Once you finish school, do you know whatcha gonna do?

Cheers, I'm looking at 2 years community and then 5 years for a Masters in Chemical Engineering at CalTech

I'd hope that two fething whole Guard Regiments could hold off some CSM and some Crons.
