Flame and Steel RP [OOC Thread]

[Port Ember]

Paddy I might have missed it.. do you have an orbat of your fleet available?

[Kyavan]

I’ve heard of Beehive rounds, seems like a good option. Just need invest in a few more big guns

Not a bad idea. I mean, It's worked for North Korea so far on the DMZ.

That being said, If I may offer some OOC advice for the IC.

If I was in your shoes right now and the roles were reversed... I would honestly be pulling back whatever is left of my initial force from that beachhead and falling back far enough to get out of the effective range of those 16inch Navel Guns and trying to reorganize and dig in. As long as you remain within the effective kill zone for those guns, you are just going to be bleeding manpower hand over fist.

Remember, nobody won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor soul die for his.

Well, I might to be honest but. I do have twelve lines of trenches and fifteen million men already entrenched. Hmmmmm, all that digging again...

Chemical shells are a bit "meh" though White Phosphorous and HE shells go well together. Common tactic used by the US and is refered as "shake and bake" by arty personnel.

Side note, rp finding out about secret deals and don't just meta game please. Its no fun when you can just say you know I am supplying arms. RP counter intelligence, etc.

Shit, I forgot to explain that part. Basically I had this whole shpiel about how I “knew” you were supplying arms. I intended it to be a bluff sorry ‘bout that.

I read your post and it was really good! Great job dude!

[Jasonvillee]

Put up a not really important post, just for shadowing some maybe events in Jasonville

[Port Ember]

Reason im asking.. just want to add my 2cents worth of advice if wanted..

I agree with Paddy.. the shoreline is a killzone with that navy off-coast. You have a MASSIVE land area.. so pull back and let logistical nightmares play its role (like russia has always done - and always won lol).

Secondly.. Kyavan you have a huge ass fleet.. huge.. I personally think if you challenge the naval power of Paddy.. it will cause tons of problems. Thats also his only way to reinforce and resupplt his troops in-country.. but if it goes south.. yah thats a risk to stand a chance to lose your entire fleet in one go.

[Jasonvillee]

So kyavan is getting brutally beat up on their coast, Paddy is evilly laughing, Port Ember is doing something, and chuck

Well selling weapons

And im being the socialist midget nation nerd just watching.

Yeet

[The Chuck]

And I'm basically the firestarter at this point. If this was a gang, I'd be the arsonist or explosives guy.

Well me having a naval base right next to Paddy makes things... interesting to say the least

[Port Ember]

Kyavan buddy, you'l see my captain did some recon.. could you tell me what he managed to observe at the compound please?

[Kyavan]

Kyavan buddy, you'l see my captain did some recon.. could you tell me what he managed to observe at the compound please?

no problemo! he saw a massive compound brimming with all a manner of weaponry. The troops inside seemed to be gearing for an advance of some kind. His buddies are taken inside the command building for questioning. There are massive 8 inch thick concrete walls being patrolled by Death Corps guardsmen and searchlights scanning the perimeter. A little caution for what he doesn't see, mines lots and lots of mines
