Evilperson would you please remember to face north or northeast once you are inside? I need eyes on these fuckers to shoot them.

>>534552
Well, I was planning to grenade the turret and whatever is in its vicinity. I'll sprint out next turn, get down inside the smoke and hope for the best.

We could as well take shelter in the building, heal up and draw this firefight out. Either way is fine with me.

Rule: "The Lift power can only lift troops, but it can stop subsonic projectiles in midair."

Rockets are subsonic.

While I don't want to encourage any reckless behaviour, I think you have an ability that makes you harder to hit? And with sprinting, you might get into the smoke and then into melee range.

And I think Evans would love some trauma care.

>>534623
You can get to our poor Engineer and stabilize him... then close the door after so you aren't exposed.

This shall be our platoon's motto and I will stitch it personally on our uniforms and banner after this mission.

As for the mission, since the consent seems to be to secure the area by killing everything that moves, I'll readily devote the rest of my ammunition to that. But I have to say I can probably only take one infantry unit out, if even that. I'll probably retreat next turn and ask the medic for healing, but this turn I wanted to destroy the turret at least.

The nearby engineer is no danger for me, but I'm worried that enemy infantry is moving to the south on the western side, trying to flank us.

The most important thing is covering Sgt. Azure, he can control the entire area. He is our artillery equivalent and we are forward observers.

...now, I assume that I just stay on the ground here, sprayed with colour by the exercise grenades or something of the sort.

Command? Quick question-
[I4] Pvt. Gaston appears to be in position to make a Hail Mary dash to the flag. If we get it that would be the end of this training excerise right?

I am probably going to be visible the enemy next turn. Please provide cover.

[I4] is currently 7 squares away from the flag and can only move 6. If he got to the square the flag is on, that would be the end of the training exercise, as the flag would be captured. So, yes, but he couldn't do it this turn.

>>535658
Actually I'd say its actually pretty safe for the medic to go into that cloud and stablize \ heal you. Remember in order to see they need someone right next to him and he'll have one turn of leeway. We just gotta give them something else to focus on and me being able to see and kill them is gonna be a big draw.

And then we could probably retreat into the other smoke grenade... well, your decision guys.

Right me and evil could probably clear most of the blockade away giving Gaston a clear run.

Otherwise I can clear that infantry lying next to the flag and Evil can rush it.

Which shall we plan for?

Oh.
...Hang on, moving around enemies diagonally is like moving around walls right? Because if not the madman dash to the flag thing I said earlier still applies.
EvilPerson or Minatosk can make the dash, if that's an option. If not, Evil can rock them in the face.

>>536518
nah you can move diagonally around enemies just fine.

If you want to win this right now without bothering to destroy the remaining enemies just have that medic sprint for the flag, hes within 10 move and a medic with full out sprint has 11 (4+4+3).

Somehow I get the impression that many of you are still not quite 'ready.' Additionally, you lack skilled leadership. However, we have no further time to train you. Because of this, I will be stepping in as your [O]fficer for your next mission. Hopefully your future [O]fficers will then be able to lead from example.

>>536718
Oh good, someone who knows what he is doing. No offence to Lt. Zaealix but his boots were so new they squeeked.

>>536719
To be fair, we'd have done far worse without him guiding unresponsive soldiers and calling the reinforcements. Doing something is better than doing nothing (except when it involves explosives missing their target).

Unerring Shot Award: Sgt. Azure, with 100% accuracy on this mission. Literally every shot was a kill.

>>536807
Addendum: Our average roll was a 6,35 on this mission, slightly better than expected.

>>536807
Sgt. Azure has built his promotions so that it is impossible for him to miss a shot within his range, and it will always kill any infantry unit. The tradeoff to this is that he is still pretty weak; none of those promotions went to things that could have made him stronger or faster or able to fire more shots without reloading, etc. But it's a pretty good build if you're able to get into position.
