A Chance Encounter (Semi open/OOC/Sign ups)

[Washington Resistance Army]

We only have 40 or so Space Marines in the fleet. The tech is supposed to be superior as a balancing fact. We have superior technology but are incredibly outnumbered and our reinforcements take much longer to arrive.

Alright, I still have some objections, but those will come up later on if needed.

Feel free to TG them to me

Later on.

I just finished Midterms today. I'm about to pass out on the couch. Heh.

[Ardavia]

Also, just to note, we're bringing a large contingent of Ecclesiarchy priests and etc. And since this is the Ecclesiarchy, also possibly some nuns with guns.

Is the addition of, say, about fifty Sororitas to the forces in my app acceptable?

Well, considering you guys have 75 caliber weapons as "small arms", this really shouldn't be much of an issue.

That was another reason for me bringing it up.

We only have 40 or so Space Marines in the fleet. The tech is supposed to be superior as a balancing fact. We have superior technology but are incredibly outnumbered and our reinforcements take much longer to arrive.

The thing is, yes, we have heavy and powerful weapons, especially considering the fact that a lasgun is much more powerful than modern infantry rifles. We're also outnumbered so ridiculously that the loss of that edge would mean instant defeat, and even with it, we'll be hard-pressed.

Really, the Imperium has two advantages here, not counting the limited number of Space Marines. Technology, and the capability to land anywhere on the planet.

[Washington Resistance Army]

I wouldn't have a problem with the Sororitas, I'll edit them in. The Ecclesiarchy should make things interesting for both sides, Segmentia is also bringing an Inquisitor.

Ardavia did a good job of summing things up on the tech and balance front though.

Could SAM's be of any use against landings? Just trying to get a gauge on our capabilities against you.

Probably, yes, at least against drop ships, but not against drop pods. Apparently, they're shot into the atmosphere at around Mach 12, which I find hard to believe is conducive to the occupants' survival.

Alright, thank you, will be duly noted.

I think only Astartes drop pods move that fast, I would imagine Guard drop pods are a fair degree slower so they don't die.

Guards don't have pods.

Woops, this is true. I was thinking of Drop Regiments and imagined badass drop pods, not whatever they use.

To answer your question UMN, SAM's would probably be effective against dropships yes.

[The Armed Republic of Dutch Coolness]

Drop Regiments use Valkyries, after having landed/entered the atmosphere with a bulk lander, since Valkyrie configurations can't be used in space.

-REDACTED-

EDIT: Maybe I shouldn't be laying out my strategy...

[Ardavia]

Arbitrary note on the Organisation of the Sororitas Mission.

Three Battle-Sister squads of 9 Sisters and one Sister Superior = 30 standard Sisters
One Retributor Squad of 4 Retributors and one Superior Advance = 5 Sisters with heavy weapons
One Dominion Squad of 4 Dominions and one Sister Superior = 5 Sisters armed with specialist weapons
Two Seraphim Squads of 5 Seraphim = 5 Sisters with jump packs

50 Sisters in total, and they're commanded by a Celestian Superior.

The Ecclesiarchy group also attracted the attention of a band of Repentia, who joined the group, adding 5 Repentia to the force.

[Ardavia]

Bumpety.

[Washington Resistance Army]

We need more MT nations, come one come all and make our lives horrible as you outnumber us 100 to 1!

[Mefpan]

It may be that the 40kanon is perceived as too ludicrous in comparison to contemporary technology, essentially making the whole RP a foregone conclusion.

Which is why we limited the amount of ludicrous things I think I know a few people who might be interested, just have to wait for them to wake up.

[Ardavia]

This is totally not a bump and you shouldn't take it as one.

[Washington Resistance Army]

This is totally not a bump and you shouldn't take it as one.

I was about to do that

Stealing my thunder and all that, not cool Ardavia. Empy is not pleased.
