The Emperor's Finest (OOC/W40k) (Accepting)

[Acerbez]

Heya, Bolslania.

Not certain if you're in the discord or not. But I strongly suggest if your able to, to join it just so you don't miss out plans and discussions held there =)

I've responded to ya though. Luckily the morridanes provided you an escape route, cuz that miscalculation was gonna take a hefty toll. Hopefully you take it. Anywhoo, nice to meet ya and glad to have ya!

[Imperialisium]

Bolslania what war are you fighting?

[Bolslania]

Bolslania what war are you fighting?

Okay, stepping back.

From what I understand, the X-ray unit was supposed to land on the opposite side of the river from fort Truvium, and the seize the bridges and push on to the fort. I had my unit get confudled while coming in, and land on the wrong side, then, they got the shit beaten out of them. Due to the actions of the AFVs, it is likely that the Choas PDF would retreat, right? Therefore the Cadians charged them, killed them, and are now attacking the fort. Thats just my understanding, also, no, I can't get on to discord, not that I don't know how, it's that I just can't, so I will be a little bit in the dark about plans and stuff.

Yeah......bout that, instead of retreating, we're attacking the fortress with that AFVs, using the element of confusion, we should be able to at least establish a foothold so the other units can get in and help.

The big thing is that you're attacking tanks that don't exist, only enemy infantry has been mentioned.

I assumed, because there were so many tank-hunter and Anti-tank units, that the enemy would have at least some armor. But if they don't I'll edit my posts accordingly.

[Acerbez]

I'm currently busy at the moment, but there's a few things actually.

The time stamp occurrence. Your men would be sandwiched between 13k retreating men returning to find u stopping them from safety, and also a Fort of fortified position and artillery of 10k men. For hours by yourself.

Your an anti tank reg, not an anti infantry reg, so swamped is an understatement, and continuous fire from you to stop this horde is questionable.

Lascannon are great for tanks, bad for hordes.

U landed off target and alone, at the same time as xray which would be 0600 hours. U have no fortifications and means to protect yourself. Open season and easily thousands of casualties from your contingent alone.

I understand what it is you want to do, but the idea that u landed 30,000 "light infantry" with with no defences on a fortress (yes blown apart bit still serviceable) Island in between 2 forces...

Me giving u the option to let the morridanes save you was throwing u a bone to let you continue surviving and fix the massive miscalculation and error of landing where u did.

Ok, I hear u, but wheretf is the way out? They only thing I read was people shooting at me.

[Acerbez]

No worries, my guy. It was a big text and the landings are always hectic.

But back north across the bridge toward the starport. The map is on the discord but Zita will be pinning a map here in the OOC and maybe clear up alot of the conundrum.

The morridanes came in and basically will be mowing men down to give u an opening.

So from what I've gathered, the civilians are coming to towards the 34th, so maybe don't just shoot everybody? Cuz they probably won't hit us with arty if their own citizens are there with me.

I'm 98% certain they have guerillas with the civies.

So they're getting shot.

[Acerbez]

Well your info is mostly correct, Bolslania.

Given the amount of time etc etc, the civies would take time to start coming out.

The evac was called at 0836. An hour later is when ud be seeing civs popping up.

Also, idk how far back u intend to move away down the bridge, but I hope that the charged battalions oncentivised u to move atleast back to the other side of the bridge where friendlies are.

The loyalists would only subtly be aware of the retreat and more likely than not in disbelief or very cautious to just waltz forward without congregating in the war council of Player CO's

[Imperialisium]

Before I blow a gasket.


READ. PEOPLES. POSTS. BEFORE. TYPING. YOURS. FOR. ALL. THAT. IS. HOLY.

Morridanes aren’t storming the fort. They’re firing on rebels fleeing South trying to cross the river. So they’ll be running into the 34th Cadian. 34th Cadian is sandwiched between said fleeing rebels and the Fort. A fort being bombarded. Civilians haven’t arrived in the area yet as the evacuation call went out at 0836.

501st when I said amphibious for Chimeras that didn’t mean *apply it to everything*. So right now you’ve lost ALL of your Super Heavies and Heavies trying to cross a polluted debris and sludge to heck river.

I suggest edits. I suggest not writing for the OPFOR either. That’s Acerbez job. There’s a difference between making cool little details like killing some enemies. But if he says something about his forces...don’t write the contrary.

The enthusiasm and detail is great. The plot holes aren’t.

Thank you.

I'll see if I can, sometimes it doesn't work for me.

[Sweillia]

Is it too late to join now? I know it says 'Accepting', but a few times I've tried to join an RP only to find out it's closed no matter what it says in the title.

Yes we’re still accepting.

(Generally all of my RPs are perpetually accepting for future reference)

[Bolslania]

Yo Morddh, you need to read posts by people who's units your talking about mate.

Actions of enemy forces have been agreed upon by Acer and I posted from the Morridane Point of View; they do not know the status of the Cadians and have not been able to contact them.

Character Section
NS Name: Sweillia
Character Name: Colonel Lev Voronesky
Age: 48
Sex: Male
Appearance:

Planet of Origin: Vostroya
Length of Service: 33
Personality: Loud and quick to anger if things do not go to plan. Generally rather friendly, and he would never refuse to have a drink with his troops to 'raise morale'. Proud, and always does his best to repay the Vostroyan debt to the Imperium.
Personal Weapons: Vostroyan Pattern Lasgun with integrated axe blade, shashka sabre
Personal Affects (Trinkets, jewelry, things soldiers might bring with them): Inherited copy of Treatis Elatii
Biography: Lev Voronesky hails from a family that is from the somewhat lower rungs of Vostroyan nobility, and being his parents' firstborn, he was destined to join the Imperial Guard. Thus his education had a heavy focus on military matters, particularly strategy and tactics, since he would be enrolled as an officer on account of his high-birth. His father was very stern, not helped by the family's neverending financial problems, inherited from Lev's grandfather, an avid, if not successful gambler. At age 12, we was sent to begin his military career as a cadet. The day Lev left was the only time he saw his father cry, a single tear of happiness, of pride for his son fulfilling his duty, rolled down his cheek.

During his training he made many friends, other would-be heirs who were proud to set aside what would otherwise be rightfully theirs, titles and land, in exchange for a chance to repay their ancestors' debts to Imperium. They trained rigorously in the cold, within the husks of abandoned manufactoria, and learnt the art of war. Everything from firing a rifle to organising logistics for a whole regiment were drilled in to him in the space of three years. When he turned 15, it came time for Lev to get his deployment and the Captain of the 6th Regiment's 2nd Battalion's 4th Company was in need of an adjutant, and so Lev was sent to the 6th Vostroyan Firstborn Regiment as one of the reinforcements, and would never see any of the friends he made in training ever again.

Things did not go perfectly, far from it in fact. The 6th Vostroyan, at the time of Lev's arrival, formed part of the garrison of a planet very close to the frontlines. The other part of this garrison consisted of the 12th Nouvelle-Terre Regiment. Tensions were high between the two regiments, as the Vostroyans saw the Nouvelle-Terrenans as less devoted than themselves. This was worsened by the fact that the Vostroyans had grown restless without seeing combat. After having a bit too much razhvod to drink, Lev led a small group of soldiers into a Nouvelle-Terrenan camp and caused a brawl, with fortunately no casualties. The commander of the 12th Nouvelle-Terre demanded Lev's execution for instigating the fight and for treason. Fortunately, a report on the incident ended up landing on the desk of the commander of the 6th Vostroyan, a Colonel Maxim Nyedzvetzyn. The Colonel recognised the name Voronesky, and upon calling Lev to his headquarters, he recognised his face too. A few years prior, when the 6th were briefly garrisoning Vostroya, the then-Major Maxim was able to secure leave to visit his family, including his cousins, the Voroneskys, where he ended up meeting Lev. Following the revelation, Nyedzvetzyn placed Lev under his personal care, he was family after all. Maxim replied to the commander that Lev would be put under strict watch by the Colonel himself, which he begrudgingly accepted as fair punishment, oblivious of Lev's relation to Nyedzvetzyn.

After barely two years as an adjutant, Nyedzvetzyn helped Lev secure his first commission, as commander of a platoon. However this was not only due to family ties, Nyedzvetzyn was genuinely impressed by Lev's abilities. Voronesky executed his role with great skill and efficiency, only hindered in advancing further by the lack of open positions above him. By his 30th birthday, Lev Voronesky was the Major of the 6th Regiment's 1st Battalion. Following the death of Nyedzvetzyn, Lev was made the Colonel of the 6th Vostroyan Firstborn Regiment at age 39. This was part of Nyedzvetzyn's testament, and no-one in the Regiment opposed it, so Nyedzvetzyn and Voronesky were respected.

Regimental Section
Name of Regiment: 6th Vostroyan Firstborn Regiment
Type of Regiment: Line Infantry
Planet of Origin: Vostroya
Length of Service and founding year: 10,417 | 020.M31
Regimental biography: As with most Vostroyan Firstborn formations, the 6th Vostroyan was founded following the Horus Heresy as a form of repayment to the Emperor for refusing to raise arms against the Traitor Legions during the Heresy. Throughout its long history, the 6th Vostroyan mostly served along the outer fringes of the Segmentum Ultima and has spent a lot of time fighting against the various Ork Empires that occasionally spring in that Segmentum and particularly the Ork Empire of Charadon. Their most notable achievements that came from fighting the Orks are the Battle of Hel and the Assault on Vanargand.

Both of these were a part of the wider Angrboda Offensive against the Charadon Orks. The objective of this offensive was to destroy a large stockpile of Ork 'shootas' and other weapons and equipment, as well as to hinder the Orks' ability to build replacements through capturing several extraction hubs. This was all done to weaken the Orks for an upcoming campaign aimed at destroying the Ork Empire of Charadon entirely. The offensive opened with the Battle of Hel, a world that had large deposits of iron and tungsten. During the battle, the 6th Vostroyan held out on its own against a force of twice its number, whilst defending the flank of the rest of the Imperial forces. During this engagement the 6th Vostroyan's losses were only in the tens of thousands, meanwhile the opposing force was nearly fully wiped out.

The Assault on Vanargand refers to an attack on the main headquarters of one of the Ork Empire's most powerful Warbosses and had quite numerous stocks of weapons. The Assault was more of a raid, meant to destroy the stocks by any means necessary. After drop troops secured a suitable landing site, the 6th Vostroyan was able to destroy its objectives quickly and effectively while only taking minimal casualties before leaving the planet's surface. Unfortunately, the Assault as a whole did not succeed, only half of the stocks were destroyed before the remaining units were overran or forced to withdraw due to heavy resistance. The campaign that followed this offensive failed at even changing the position of the frontline, however the 6th Vostroyan did not participate in it.

There have been multiple occasions on which the 6th Regiment has been deployed elsewhere, most notably during the Ayavin Crusade, where the Regiment was tasked with garrisoning systems in the case of an enemy counter-attack. This resulted with the Defence of Vinruy following a retreat on the Crusade's flank. During this battle, the 6th Regiment lost many men, however it still stood firm until Space Marines could arrive and repel the attack fully.

Regiment Organizational Structure: The Regiment itself is around 300,000 strong, and is divided into 3 battalions. Each battalion is around 100,000 strong, and is divided into 5 companies. Each company is around 20,000 strong, and is divided into 20 platoons. Each platoon is around 1000 strong, and is divided into 50 squaqs. Each squad is 20 strong, and consists of a Squad Leader, a Squad Second-in-Command, a Chief Lascannoner, an Assistant Lascannoner, a Lascannon Ammo Carrier, a 1st Marksman, a 1st Assistant Marksman, a 2nd Marksman, a 2nd Assistant Marksman, a Multi-Melta Operator, an Assistant Multi-Melta Operator, a Scout and 8 Riflemen. The Riflemen, Squad Leader, Squad Second-in-Command and Scout are all equipped in a similar manner, Vostroyan Pattern Lasgun, Flak Armour and so on, but the Squad Second-in-Command also carries long-range communication equipment for eh... long-range communication. The Chief Lascannoner carries and fires a deployable Lascannon, the Assistant Lascannoner helps set up the weapon, takes over if the Chief Lascannoner is unable to use the weapon and loads the ammunition, which is carried by the Lascannon Ammo Carrier, or 2nd Assistant Lascannoner. Both Assistants are armed with a lasgun, while the Chief Lascannoner has a backup Laspistol should the Lascannon fail. The Marksmen are divided into to teams, each with a Marksman and Assistant Marksman. The Assistant Marksman acts as a spotter for the Marksman, and vice versa should the circumstances demand it. All Marksmen are armed with a Long-Las. The Multi-Melta team functions similarly to the Lascannon team, but without a desgnated Ammo Carrier, whose role is merged with that of Assistant. The Scout's purpose is to survey the area around the squad should it be desired by either the Squad Leader or Squad Second-in-Command, as well as to carry messages should all other forms of communications fail. When these are not needed of him, he acts as a regular Rifleman.

Yo Morddh, you need to read posts by people who's units your talking about mate.

What? I didn't dictate the actions of anyone's units.

Actions of enemy forces have been agreed upon by Acer and I posted from the Morridane Point of View; they do not know the status of the Cadians and have not been able to contact them.

Not what I mean. I mean that you said that no contact was established with the cadians, but I specifically had them interact with the AFVs.

[Bolslania]

Imperialisium, quick question; can we have multiple units or just one?
