Just caught up on the thread and I'll be following and voting now. Just to sate my own curiosity about how it would be handled in this game: How would Colonel Schaeffer be handled? In the books the reason he is hardly ever injured and always succeeds is given that it is because his faith in the Emperor is absolute. Would that just count as having a ton of fate points? Also would it be possible for Quint to reach a similar level of sheer bad assery?

Those sound good. I lack the books myself so I'll just trust the first thing I read.

Overall a pretty good day off I'd say. Also I'm going to assume that good carousal roll is going to make Flavia more eager to watch Quint's back (or at least not accidentally kill Quint). I'll be voting No. We must take every opportunity to serve the Emperor. Also we might get stuck walking through minefields or something instead of flying over them if we lie.

I'm thinking use the petrol bombs or maybe something the commandos brought along. Frags just seem like a great way to call in artillery right on our heads. The traitors probably have every inch of the beach already zeroed in on their guns too.

Tias posted:Nice. And list of skills Always good to see our service to the Emperor being rewarded. I'd like to know how important is swim? Are we likely to drown without it? And what are pistol: primitive and thrown: primitive? I think maybe we should decide on a course of skills to follow to get Quint nice and specialized for one thing.

Swimming and sound constitution seem like solid choices for now. As for planning ahead I think it'd be best if we made Quint as tough as possible while also working on his melee skills. And abilities like quick draw that save us actions are always good.

But we can take it 4 times, 4 extra wounds sounds like a good way to avoid death by failing rolls against other things.

wjs5 posted:Well yeah at 100 xp per wound.... i think the other skills are more important right now. That is 400 xp right there quick draw would allow us to shoot first and not take at least one shot which can be more than one wound. Swimming would allow us to you know not drown if the boat gets hit. Don't forget we're just one guardsmen with some tissue paper and faith in the Emperor to protect us. I'm thinking about that inevitable time we get trapped in a room with a frag, or some pilot decides to make a strafing run on a column we're marching in. edit: I mean we should work the extra wounds in as we have XP to spare. We're about to land in a beach assault, not likely to have any situations where we need to be drawing a weapon quickly. We're going in expecting to fight.

wjs5 posted:Well if we die it would be partially my fault if its from not quite enough wounds. I mean if we get unlucky and get hit by to much stuff it wount matter either way. Lets just get through this and we can discuss the next one before we (at least the two of us) vote that sound good? I was making a joke seeing as how there wouldn't be any more votes if we died. But it does sound good.

East Beach this weapon isn't a flamer, flamers are bad. They burn you crispy and are rather hard to dodge. Also we might find some sweet loot on the guys that use a weird weapon.

Rear echelon. We serve the emperor however we are best suited, and I think we're best suited to be deployed as a result of being the tool for the job. Taking care of that psyker should show our unit is more than suited for tasks other than being fed into a meat grinder.

Before I jump on the guerilla warfare bandwagon I would just like to point out that these are agents of chaos we're dealing with. Giant mountains of corpses are just decoration for them and leaving scalped corpses around will probably be seen as a sign that we're just weak and unable to do worse to them. I mean we could survive and do hit and runs on their supplies but if these are daemon spawn like the last update hinted at they wouldn't have supplies. We're best off with a straight up fight with some nasty tricks setup.

Pops posted:In the immortal last words of so many stalwart Guardsmen, "Well, poo poo." You're right, it was a house rule of sorts back on Page 3 that allowed the shield to boost our overall armor rating by four. Ordinarily it helps defense in melee and not much else. Yeah what are fate points for anyway!

I think we should hurry back to the lines with what we have and assist in better preparing the position for another defense and conserve fate points if at all possible We've already burnt 2 for the day and we're pretty beat up as is. I'd think it'd be best we kept the last as a sorta safety.

I say we do our best to find out what we can about these "special forces" and do our best to get where we can fight alongside them, maybe our old stormtrooper buddies can help? Also stock up on ammo and check for any new weapons we can get our grubby little mitts on.

Signal posted:Don't bother with the shield, I'd say. It takes too much time, time that we may not have. There hasn't been any activity in our doorway, and so it's unlikely that any traitors have it covered. A quick peek around the doorframe should be enough to give us a basic idea of what's going on inside without causing undue delay.
