raandomname Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I just had an idea: when assaulting Iotra my men will have Sith Empire emblems painted on their armor and vehicles. Many Mandos fight as mercenaries for the Sith, so the Hutts eill hopefully believe that the troops attaccking them are under Sith command. If this works I may actually gain some allies against the Sith or at least weaken their diplomatic position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarons Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) Sil if I find out about the governor I'll like to send a squad of my best troops to save him and send him to a undisclosed location until the war is over. Side note:I would also like to use some of star Basilisk War Droids to lay space mines at the entrance of the system to wait for the Arriving CIS fleet. The mines are left inactive until the CIS fleet are in system. WIth a Davaab-type starfighter near the entrances to the system to give word of the CIS arrival and to arm the mines.

Silenceo Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) *Week 9* Results of Week 8: "Salty's" Freighter's and Soldiers Co.: Fleeing like a bat out of hell from Kessel. The Galactic Inquisition: Diplomacy across the GE territory continues to progress. Mando Werda: Continues siege on Gall. The Farewell Coalition: Continues siege on Gall. Rising Republic: Continues to repair ships and fleet remains over Naboo. Sent scout to Bannistar. Ordo Kote: Invaded Iotra. Skill points Earned: "Salty's" Freighter's and Soldiers Co.: + 3 The Galactic Inquisition: +10 Mando Werda: + 10 The Farewell Coalition: + 10 Rising Republic: + 2 Ordo Kote: + 10 Outcomes: Iotra: the Ordo Kote have proven victorious! Casualties: 200 Mandalorians. (Mercs temperarily had some disruptors before being overrun) Gall Casualties CIS: 2,000 B1's 1,000 B2's 200 STAAP 20 Commando Droids 4 HAG 2 Anti-Aircraft emplacements 10 Predator Gunships 10 Chameolon droids FC: 1 AT-AT 2 AT-ST 10 Canderous-class assault tank 10,000 soldiers 4 SPMA 20 AAC-2 Hovertank 450 Nightfalcon speeder bike 2 HAVw A6 Juggernaut Mando Werda: 20 J1 proton cannons 20 AT-MP 670 Mandalorians 100 Basilisk War Droids 670 CK-6 swoops 5 AT-AAs Gall Summery Nor were the combined forces pressing them too hard, which allowed them to continue to use their artillery to great effect, in combination with their Chameleon droids. Despite all of this, the FC took losses when investigating the cave, as well as being ambushed constantly throughout the week when they least expected it. In the last battle of Gall 4 Magnaguards had killed 500 troops in a single day. This time, over the course of a week, the 20 were causing chaos along to edges of the invading force, slowly whittling at their forces. When a Basilisk would be called, they used the data streams from the Chameleons to plot escape routes extremely effectively. If all of them were not destroyed, the invaders would continue to have problems. They did however, manage to destroy some of them, which allowed them to land some of their artillery without being counter bombed, which allowed the casualties of some of the CIS artillery and AA. The Governor was not in his manor, and by the time the FC troops arrived, all that was left was a datapad. It said that if they did not leave the planet, the Governor would be dead by the next planet cycle, as well as his children and wife. The siege continues.

StarSquirrel Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) Well stuff ain't going your way Jarons. I'm perplexed as to how I lost 20 cannons when Dar'yaim values those things so much though... I specifically stated at least four things that seemed to have been ignored -increased patrols (massively increased) -active scanning by those patrols (which would easily see through the Chameleon droid's disguise which is not truly stealth its a holoprojection) -Heavily defended cannons (almost absurdly so) placed in the rear of the lines well outside enemy artillery's range (despite their "increased accuracy") -Heavily prepared landing area prior to the arrival of the cannons so any potential danger would have been detected well in advance I'll also mention that J1 proton cannons brings down Acclamators... Even if I only had the surviving cannons pound away for a week the canyon would be a good mile deeper and you never said anything about shields that could withstand this bombardment. There really shouldn't be an enemy base left to worry about. I mean, the Basilisks and troops and such I get... but I don't think you get what I was saying Sil. There is literally no way the CIS could attack my cannons and kill that many unless they suffered staggering losses to do so. Also, only 2 AA guns? Those things were the targets and we only got 2? Now for the rest of the losses, I expected about as much. I just didn't anticipate a force that theoretically could have been taken by Jaron's initial force to be able to hold off the sheer firepower and numbers that we're both bringing.

raandomname Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 "Veiyr, my old friend, I have a mission for you," Ayan addressed the Mandalorian standing in front of him. "I need you to head to Hutta to find out whether our trick has worked and to do anything to worsen the relationship between the Sith and the Hutts. You have the necesary underground contacts and experience from your times as a bounty hunter. If we manage to get the Hutts onto our side, well be one step closer to defeating the shabla Sith." "Alright," Veiyr answered. "I will leave immediatly." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now for the rest of the losses, I expected about as much. I just didn't anticipate a force that theoretically could have been taken by Jaron's initial force to be able to hold off the sheer firepower and numbers that we're both bringing. A few explanations: - While the patrols were increased massively, the CIS essentially pulled back fully to their base - While their stealth isn't a "true" stealth, searching for them when moving at the speed they would be... Not the best combination since the only give away is a slight distortion in the air - How would the HAG not be in range, yet the J1's in range, considering that the HAG's have direct feed? I mean, they were both CIS artillery, and not really stated to have different ranges unless I misread... - The Predators that were lost were making runs on the artillery, using the feed from the Chameleons to strike from the angles that allowed them shots at the artillery (didn't work as well as they wanted, seeing how they lost 10 Predators doing this) The part that you have to keep in mind, is that that Super Tactical Droid is essentially CARRYING the ENTIRE CIS force. Without it, the CIS would have been crushed on week one, with little casualties to the invading forces. However, due to his vast tactical superiority to those present, he is able to present a problem that is hard to remove. Combine that with the Chameleon's and artillery, and the CIS are hard to dislodge. Before you say your character's tactics are comparable to the Super Tactical Droid, I will merely say that at this point in time, the droid has superior tactical execution. Which allows his otherwise vastly inferior forces, to put up one hell of a fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used the precision of the artillery strikes to destroy some of the AAC as the Predators come into sight for a quick strike, lowish to the ground. Essentially what caused that was: - Low ground flying - Constant feed from Chameleon's (though some did get taken out...) - Artillery to cover approach - Heavy shielding/speed - Only takes a missile or two to take out the J1's - the AAC are not exactly specialized AA (yes, it was one of their main roles, but as is anti-armor, anti-infantry, and artillery... What did they not cover? In order to do so, they would either have multiple variants, or they had to generalize a lot with little specialization.) - Coordination supplied by the Super Tactical Droid allowed for such efficient strikes - Canyon causes a lot of LoS HMP Predators are among some of the deadliest gunships in the galaxy, basically being able to laugh off most ground unit attacks except for exceptional rocket launchers.
