NEW SOLDIERS:
Anyone can join at any time by entering a name in the Name field, prefixed by the letter that corresponds to the class you wish to play as.

For example: '[I] Pvt. Cannon Fodder'. This denotes a soldier named Cannon Fodder, whose rank is Private, whose class is [I]nfantry. In battle you will be given a number to identify you, so you would become '[I1] Pvt. Cannon Fodder'. The symbol on the map, next to the class's letter, on which your number appears is you.

Further information can be found at http://tgchan.org/wiki/Black_Company. Please do not hesitate to join, a name and class are really, truly all you need to play.

RETURNING SOLDIERS:
The badge on your chest is the only proof of your rank right now. We need to get you all re-entered into the system.

Please make a post with your promotions. You will be sent into basic training with the newbies, since as far as our computer is concerned, you haven't graduated boot camp.

Sgt. Caltech Sr reporting in.

Private Evans reporting in again.

What? Training? I guess I can help out, get the new recruits used to explosions and all that. Are we getting live targets?

Right.
While we're in transit, I'd like to get started on a chain of command.
Since I'm the only officer, I'll be on overview and general strategy.
I personally divide the six types of soldiers into offensive and defensive, and assign them as thus:
Teles, Infantry, and Rocketeers are Offense-
Engies, Medics, and Snipers are Defense.
Now, as far as Squad Leaders go...
Suggestion, EvilPerson, you two will be in charge of coordinating offensive measures, which in general translates to issuing battle plans to the offensive types...
Azure, Conrad, Caltech, the three of you are to handle defensive matters, similar to the above.
If it works out well, all I'll be doing is calling in officer support to help you guys do your job, while the squad leaders deal with strategizing.
As a final note, and I've said this repeatedly-I myself am a new recruit, and thus I am inexperienced, if you guys have an issue with my decisions, I request that you bring them to my attention immediately.

>>521001
Looks good to me, sir. If I remember right, the Implant users can do their psychic stuff through walls (if they know someone is there, anyways), since they ignore cover.

can't think of anything better but I do have a quick question, the different color boxes in the building are just different rooms right?

>>521006
Correct.

So our job is to clean the building. Understood, Sir.

Sounds good, deploying as ordered.

>>521004
That's right, and they also ignore Medic and Engineer barriers. So keep any enemy TKs away from me if you want me to keep Alpha Squad alive.

"So I start at A41... I will show you what BLACK COMPANY is all about! If any strong enemies hide behind the barriers then I will chase them out with a rocket! Advance with care, Dr.Caltech, I expect you to shield our troops well. Work together everyone!"

Reminder that your radio channel is set to #BlackCompany @ irc.rizon.net.

Alright Alpha team, be careful advancing. The enemy might be hiding behind the cover and unseen, and some might come after us out of the big building.

EvilPerson, think you can get an angle to shoot a rocket through the holes in the cover and hit the group bunkered there?

>>521036
Can Snipers sprint? I didn't think they could sprint.

Alright, I'm gonna upload my thoughts to your HUDs. I'm thinking EvilPerson acts first, so if he accidentally blows up the cover at C35-D35, our boys aren't blown up as well. I'm marking areas of possible ambush for both teams with orange circles/ovals.
I'll move up to the door and try to hold it shut. I can nearly take a rocket to the face, so I've got that going for me as well.

Any other ideas?

>>521039
Yes they can. We can't use our actions for anything but that however. Its either move or shoot. Not both.

I'd suggest he move to C-35 after the rocket fire.

>>521041
Well, that isn't good.

>>521041
According to my calculations, that should hit the middle energy wall and take out all three walls.
I could then move into position to fire at the turret and take out the enemy there. This would leave the door unobstructed, however.

Despite having played X-Com, this new recruit here is gonna open that motherfucking door and scout for possible targets for the Telekinetics.

alright someone is going to have to open that door and since the medic is the only one in bravo with a shield I thinks he's our best bet without getting his head blown off in the process

As for me I'm going to move north 2 and then go east and end at T40 just to make sure there isn't any surprises for us waiting over there.

>>521055
My squadleader can overtake me, if he decides to do that.

But if something is coming our way on the east side of the building, the shield would be quite useful hold it at bay.

Besides, you can support through the wall if I make contact in the corridor.

[M1] Sgt. Caltech Sr.
[M2] Sgt. Conrad
[E1] Pvt. Evan

If we receive all orders before the deadline the phase can end early.

Maybe instead of [T2] looking I should go to T40 and set up a force wall in case someone is hiding around the corner?

Also, I am in a place with very unreliable internet for the next few days so don't feel a need to wait for me if I am the last one who has not gone.

Yeah, I'd better stick with the guy that ran on ahead.

@Dr Caltech-you need to specify HOW!
Let me put it this way-as of now, the shield protects, as an example, foward, foward and to the left, and forward to the right.
Do you want it to extend to the right?
To the left?
Or do you want some kinda crazy seperate panel behind you, behind you to the left, behind you to the right?
I think that's why the R&D boys are having issues with it!

>>521296
Damnit, I thought I specified a right extension when I ordered it. And it still doesn't explain why my fellow medical officer who DID specify two extensions, one left and one right doesn't have an extended shield either.

Sorry if I´m a bit late.

Moving 2N to Q40

I'm getting worried and I can't completely recall WHEN this phase will end, so I'm botting Munroe to move as suggested here: >>521039

Move to (35D), go prone

Alternately, since that probably doesn't quite parse:
[I2](41C)
move to (37D)
Sprint activation (-1ACT)
move to (35D), go prone.

Now here's to hoping this guy doesn't end up swiss cheese.

"Did guy just shot a flying rocket head-on with his turret? ...One day I want to be that guy."
Ok, let's try that 'look around the corner' thing again.

Well fuck Command, that would have been nice to know before we all ran for them.

Alright I need to know who to shoot. I can kill the medic in front of me, the infantry who just took out our medic. Or anyone really who is nearby. One problem though. I can only kill one of them.

>>521367
Command, something is up with the sat feed, I was moving North-West towards C-35 not North-East to J-35. Any idea how this happened?

>>521377
The rules say we can look around corners without exposing ourselves (and without shooting). Does the vision of [T2] Pvt. Void at T40 properly represent that rule? The fog of war is unchanged.

Well damn, that's a lot of red dots which just appeared on my HUD.

Squad Beta, here's my suggestion. Whatever we do, none of us is in range of any of the tangos. Baddie at K35 has to be dealt with by or be ignored by Alpha. But Beta just can't do anything about him for now.

And because I lack vision, I can't engange after opening the door at P38. Standing there would just make me a target.
Thus, I move to P38, open the door, but then I sprint to M38, staying in cover and checking around the corner. K35 hopefully won't notice me, if he even lives until next turn.

From that position, I could move back to P38 to fire into the yellow room or I could advance northwards, or give a little support to Squad Alpha through the open door. M38 is the most flexible position for me. Our squadleader can approach the entrance at P38 after me, or maybe even enter under protection of his shield. The Telekinetics move up on their own discretion.

Pvt. Evans has successfully fortified the eastern flank. Everything to the east of the building can be reached by telekinetic abbilities from the inside. So if something is sneaking up on us, it could be still enganged if we have vision.

We might have no rocketeers or snipers, but Squad Beta still has a lot of firepower available, we just can't apply it yet.

Waiting for approval or confirmation by my squaddies and squadleader before I make my move.

>>521393
COMM1: "Looks like that's our bad, M1. You can get back up again, in that case, but be advised that C-35 was an invalid position to begin with."

That went less than excellent. I can only advise more team coordination, because I am truly a terrible strategist.
So, uh, don't run in front of this rocket!

I think that might be a good plan, but I could also open the door and stand in front of it. My shield can take a good few hits and would keep them out.

Ideally, it would keep you from being shot at anything coming down that hall at us too.

Maybe we could get a TK in here with us?

Sir, it looks like the Telekinetics are moving into position.

My instincts tell me to run to L34 and open fire on that rifleman on the ground. At point blank range. From behind. While he's lying at my feet.
But after careful analysis of the ballistic parameters, I conclude that I would gain ABSOLUTELY NOTHING from that and I somehow begin to wish for a melee weapon.
Okay, if I can hit the rifleman at K34 just once, it only needs one Telekinetic squeezing his balls to take him out. Those are the best odds. I can always open a can of burst fire sauce on him next round. I'm just as armoured as he is.

Generally its better to use burst fire when you are an infantryman. Sure it takes better luck to hit him. But its actually better chances to hit at least once AND you have a small chance of actually killing the dumb fucker who just got in your sights.

Nope, my rifle can't penetrate the armour. 3 DMG at max this turn. Target would have survived my attack either way.

And I don't trust the dice. Nobody should trust the dice. Dice is the scumbag who cheats on your sister with your girlfriend.

I wish I could say I was somehow involved in things going fubar like that. But honestly? I suppose that went as well as could be expected. NEW PLAN!
Alpha team- back up and get your rears out of range! That enemy squad's entrenched and too armored to take head on! Wait for beta-a turn or so before their Telekenetic strike happens, fire rockets-the chaos from the Telekenetic attacks SHOULD disable that bunch, and keep them from doing anything about the missiles.
Beta- Your [T] guys can hit through walls. As long as Alpha team retains visuals of targets, the telekenetics can get close enough to start putting the hurt on them!
I'm unfortunately tied up with *ahem* Paperwork issues for now, but I should be able to serve properly tommorow.

Cast lift on enemy in S-35 (unless lift I don't have to) and go prone

would leave the room but I'd block the door if I moved normally and wouldn't be able to use any of my powers if I sprinted so I'll just hold my ground and duck

I'd really rather not lose our last medic. Focus on healing and staying out of that TK's range, unless we have no other choice.

Staying out of range it is then, but I won't be able to heal anyone while he is alive or he will get me easily. So unless someone gets him out of my way I'm pretty useless.

Oh for god's...

I can't hold this guy here forever and it's not going to take much longer until the enemy tele can flank my ass so the sooner someone can take this guy the sooner I can actually help.

move east 2 squares and stop at N-37 then use left (again) on the enemy solder in square R-35

AH SHIT, just dropped him

Now might be an appropriate time to note that the [O]fficer has enough kills to airdrop in reinforcements! So, if you've been observing the game but not playing, now would be the time to report for duty so Lt. Zaealix can drop you in to help!

I can throw two smoke grenades, so I can try to cover T2 and maybe M1 if he wants to try something in here.

Alright I have a few options here, I can kill the Rocketeer and risk staying still, I can sprint into the building and setup to take out something in there. I'll probably die due to that TK though. Actually I'll probably die either way.

Opinions?

Ok, so apparently I can't throw smoke grenades and have them do anything useful until the next round.

So, I guess I just lay down and play dead now? Right. Probably good we weren't set right out into the field.

Alright, I think I'll hedge my bets, and head inside.

Huh? What? Sorry, comrades, all these Telekinetics around here must have fried my brain for a minute!

The Infantryman at R35 is a risk, he grants vision in the yellow room for the enemy and he seems about to break free from our Telekinetic's grasp.

I could move to N 39 and open fire at I on [I] at R35. I should be able to hit him from there. Maybe I and Evans can take him out.

I could also move to M38 and just wait for something to come down this corridor.

Or I could move to K37 and throw a grenade at M32 just for good measure. But I hesitate to risk hurting Sgt. Evilperson further, we could still revive him...

Waiting for the input of the team before I commit.

Azure, is that you at 36L?
You and [T2] Void should get back below the 36 line-with that infantry providing sight intel, the enemy [T] last seen at 33 N might finish one of you two off.
Void, now's not the time to do a lift-just go for a hurt, that should finish the infantry in front of you. The rest of you, well, [M] I guess get around to treating wounds and what not.
[E] Evans, I reccomend you retreat, with your turret gone (do you get more than one?) all you've got is your personal firearm, if that...I need to check the engineer rules again...
I'll return to give more specific orders if needed.

lets see if I can't do something useful for once

Move - north 1 square and then northeast 1 square (-1 for prone)

>>527958
2 things
1) I was already moving before you said anything
2) Hurt is short range (2 squares) and lift is medium range (5 squares) >>518738
so I had to move in to actually use hurt. Just hoping I can finish this guy off before the enemy tele can lock on to me.

sorry if that through a wrench in your plans.

>>527969
Oh. THAT'S WHY THE [T]s have been going for Lift!!!
That explains quite a bit, thanks for the clarification, private Void.
I think it's fairly obvious now that I only have vague ideas on what each of you guys can do, as opposed to knowing the exact rules. Undestanding about Engineers probably would have saved the outside assault team from getting wiped like that!
Ok, I'll go back to the wiki and try and refresh myself on the rules of what each class can do. Carry on as if I didn't say anything earlier!

Ok, I am thinking of running forwards to try and stabilize someone before they die. (I would stand in the door, but then the [T] could one-shot me to let the [I] in to shoot [T2], so door blocking looks like a job should be for [I1].)
Any suggestions on who I should try to save?

>>527972
I find it helps to just keep the class codex (http://tgchan.org/kusaba/quest/src/137188829155.png) open in a tab for reference.

Alright, I'm going to reposition myself a bit, and get that door closed as well, really wish I could move and stabilize since thats what would actually be helpful.

Not that I would want to shrink from door blocking duty (actually I really do), but the enemy has no vision in the yellow room. If you want to stabilize, you should be relatively safe at, for example, S34 or P34.

Lt. Zaelix, could we get some medical support for Sgt. Azure? We seem to have lost contact to Doctor Caltech.

I really want to reload, and from O38 I could move either into the yellow room or westwards into the corridor.
If our medic doesn't react, I could also give first aid to Sgt. Azure (who seems to be bleeding out?) instead.

- Sgt. Azure moved to K 38, so I think you can choose whether you heal him before he moves at L36 or afterwards at K 38, whichever position makes more sense to you (mentioned just in case)
- You can heal twice (2 ACT)
- Don't forget your shield (though that is already pointing northwards)
- I don't know how officers work, but wouldn't you want to roll the dice in the email field ("dice 2d10") like we do?

>Not that I would want to shrink from door blocking duty (actually I really do), but the enemy has no vision in the yellow room.
No, the enemies definitely do have vision immediately after that guy died. We saw the same principle (for the same door even) when M1 went down at >>522112. Their surviving [I] might or might not be close enough to move into the yellow room next round, but they most certainly can see everything in there.

[ ACTION PHASE ]

...We're looking at a total squadron wipe aren't we.
As much as I'd dearly love to revive [R2] there, it's not gonna be easily done.
We don't kill the [T] near there, we'll lose the medic trying.
I figure, here's the plan.
[E] moves until he can see that guy, wherever he may be.
for now, our medic should move so that he's at the door, with his shield facing that direction so if he gets shot at he'll be ok.
our [T] should get ready to snipe him through the wall-line of sight provided by an ally is a wonderful thing.
Once he's down and out, then the [M] moves up and saves [R2]. Once that order of business is taken care of, we move slowly and carefully through this building, and once we're done that, a final go at the flag.

Move (2 N, 1 NE) to R34
Roll twice to place a force wall [5] on R33 facing up
(No modifiers)
Ammo: force wall x3
(No promotion bonuses)

I am going to try to scout the hallway. Minativik might want to go around in case I get this wall up than die before I can take it down again.

As I hate doing nothing, I'm going to go be suicidal.

Sprint 5 N to [K-33]. (-2 move for Prone)

Suggestion for our medic since we want to actually save that Rocket (Follow this format from now on and you can fix mistakes):


Move 3 N to [L-35].
Crouch
Stablize R2 on [L-34]
Heal R2 on [L-34]
Ammo: Infinite

Extended Shield Arc Right

>>528457
Also when the person is at -2 they will die next turn, gotta at least stabilize them.

Oh and don't forget to roll.

Haha got one. But now for the bad news

I can't see any targets so I'm just going to hug the wall for now so when I get some eyes on the hall ahead I can start taking people out

Move north 1 square to P-34 and face east towards the door
Stats (prone)

Okay, currently three options.

I sprint to L 33 and provide cover for Sgt. Azure with my endomorphic body.
I sprint to Q 32 for aggressive positioning.
I move to R 35 and lob a grenade at R 29.

I don't like either of these much, but the first and the last appeal to me most.

Void, how about standing up or moving 1 NW instead of 1 N so you can reach most spaces in the hallway below row 32 with your attack?

Evans, is that forcefield really necessary? It might obstruct our movement next turn, and if you go to Q 34 and I go to S 34 we could still see the hallway before us, but we would be relatively safe and could make use of the vision Sgt. Azure provides. If there are enemy units in the area around O 32, you lose an act deactivating the forcefield when you could introduce an unarmoured T to your SMG.

Move 1E, 1N, 2 NE to R35
Sprint 1 NE to S34

Now that we have clear looking around corner rules I think you are right.

Order change:

Gonna need our Officer to bot that medic again it looks like. We are running outta time.

Sorry, was too worried about time running out...Anyhow, here's the rolls.
Be honest, how lame of an officer do you guys think I am?

Rrrrgh, double posting cause I keep forgetting the email field thing...

>>528864
nicely done, we have a Rocket back in business.

.. you could bot R2 now, I suggest moving him back.

[ ACTION PHASE ]

Hmm, I'm thinking that we might not want to go through that door.

R2, since you are up, think you can put a rocket into that wall in front of you?

Uhhh...Where'd that [T] go.
Seriously. That's worrisome.
[R2] For the love of us not all ending up in front of a firing squad after this, please respond!

>>528875
He probably retreated into the next room to help provide cover fire.

oh well that just makes me feel all safe and fuzzy.

stand up and move east 1 square to Q-34 and peek down the hall while taking cover behind the wall.

Well that was a bit anti-climatic. I have the feeling we are sitting on a sharp edge. We secured this part of the map, we are in relative safety after the initial massacre, and with some luck we could still do some good work and I don't want to waste that opportunity. But we are outnumbered and the enemy is probably closing in on us.

Breaching through the wall around O32 sounds... interesting. I could run to R 29 and then we attack the enemy units in the green room from the south and the west next turn. But remember, there's at least 1 Telekinetic and 1 Infantry wating for us. And maybe enemy units have moved in from the north, if they weren't in the green room to begin with. I'm getting X-Com levels of door anxiety again.

I'm also very suspicious of the door at K 35. Enemy units from outside might be running towards us right now. We should at at least keep that in mind if we advance deeper into the building, or else we get surrounded.

Getting into good positions for a glorious last stand is also appealing. I'm open for both: being defensive and being offensive. Will certainly submit orders before the deadline, but maybe somebody else has a flash of genius until then.

Hrrrm...Ok.
Busting the wall down is looking pretty tempting, what with the factor of surpise and the fact the enemy will probably have a killzone set up at (29R)+(29Q) by now, assuming they don't have our benefits of communication.
...Ok... [S]Azure, quick check on your mines, can they tell enemies from friendlies? If yes, we can set one in front of the prospective wall breach, to cover our retreat if necesssary.
Either way, it might be a better idea to try and place it at (35K), so that if the enemies come from behind, they'll get blown up and warn us that they're coming.
Once your mine is placed, everyone sets up to bumrush through the wallbreach-[E]Evans, set your turret up, and maybe a wall or two, [M1] If you respond, recharge your shields during this resting point-we'll need them. I don't think anyone is injured, but if they are, speak up now....
Hrrm... Something I don't like-is it just me, or did [R2] become [I2]? Because that's what I'm seeing on my screen. If he did, we're gonna have to go the long way around, and punch through that trap they'll have set.

If we plan to wallbreach, perhaps I should place a forcewall at R29 to stop them from flanking up? (Also remember my turret is dead.)

Deadline is in two and a half hours.

Move (1W, 2N) + Sprint (2N) to R30
Roll to place a force wall [5] on R29 facing left
(No modifiers)
Ammo: force wall x3
(No promotion bonuses)

Suggestions for botting:

M1: Heal R2 twice, he is dead after one hit currently.

R2: Shoot the wall at M-31 to breech it.

don't forget to do it in standard format and to roll for all actions.

rolled 9, 8 = 17

Ok, everyone who's availible, please make official orders now!
[M1] (35L)
Heal [R2] at (34L)
Recharge shield [1ACT]

[R2] (34L)
Crouch (-1 move)
Prone (-1 move)

That's all for now. We breach on the next turn, get ready!

Firstly, be careful where you point that rocket for wallbreaching. Not sure if we really want to go through with that.

A mine to greet intruders near door K35 sounds awesome, but I don't know what the Sarge is up to.

[M]Caltech and [R]Evilperson could just reposition for now, moving a bit down the hallway to the east to catch up with the rest of the team, with the rocketeer getting healed further.

It just occurred to me that manipulating a door does not take an ACT (it happened several times already and the GM did not object).

Guys, what we can do: Open the door and move away from it to avoid some incoming fire while still getting a little bit of vision.

I like that so much I'll actually do it. If I should wait until next turn, just give word (or let a superior override my order). If that Telekinetic wants a piece of me, he has to expose himself.

Move 4N to R31

Azure, could you maybe move so you can place a mine at K35 next turn?

Apparently everybody moved while I was writing.

Still valid though, I move quicker than Evans, open the door and now stand behind him, looking west.

I could move now and plant one next turn, but I hate the fact that I gotta do it in two turns. Snipers really should be able to move and do any other action but shoot. Seriously limits them and makes the mines nigh useless for on the spot deployments.

Move 1 S to [K-34]. (-2 move for Prone)

>>529277
you might wanna rewrite your order, since you'll probabaly bump into the engineer and halt your move.

>>529282
We can move through allies like ghosts, we just can't end up on the same spot.

>>529286
Less like ghosts and more like politely-moving-out-of-the-way... people.

Enemies are less polite.

Bonjour, Private Gaston is reporting in. Deploying where?

[R1] is killed.

[ ACTION PHASE ]

As our officer is the one to arrange the airdrop we will have to wait for him to use his Officer Control Panel to do so. I suggest dropping right in front of the building entrance we are in as well.

Each deployment will cost two kills but as we have four and no others wanting to join that isn't a problem.

Place Mine at [K-35]

bad feeling about how quit it just got but to hell with it

Move- 1 square east and 3 squares north and end at R-31

...What the...
Ok. I know it feels like that killbox HAS to be right around the corner...But I think...I think we're getting a freebie here.
Someone go to (29Q) but ONLY one person. If we're lucky we'll be able to use the Telekenetic to open a weakness in their formation and strike during that vulnerability.
As for the airdrop...Not sure how that works out, but prolly gonna aim for about R40...What happens if you end up on the roof?

< Edited the lower part of the image based on the discussion thread.

Well, there's no party and no target in the room.

Evans, this accidentally worked out perfectly. This is the ideal preparation for assaulting a door.
Could you deactivate the forcefield now so I can move forward?

Either the enemy has retreated north to create an ambush at another position, or they are waiting for reeinforcements from outside (which could be filing in from door K18 and/or preparing to enter at K35).

Either way, I'm probably going to get to the next door if nobody has a better idea or if we don't want to wallbreach at N 25.

>>529408
R40 sounds good, but I hope the enemy didn't move to the south of building yet to surround us.

It's been 3 turns, a sprinting unit could already be south of 39. Maybe I'm overly careful, but I would suggest U39 as a alternative dropzone. But it's the officer's decision of course.

No move
Pick up force-wall [1 ACT]

>>529479
Alright, I'll get that picked up and watch this door up here.

(Forgot to post under the right name.)

Alright I think we want to get everyone into that room before we start planning our advance. So this turn I think our Medic and Rocket should move at a normal pace, and continue to heal up this turn in order to be fully.

Next turn E1 and I1 should setup the same wall in front of the door and breech next turn in order to get an idea of whats waiting for us. The turn after we should have all managed to get into the room and be preapred to move on.

What the Sarge said.

When we assembled next turn, we might think about wallbreaching to the brown room (around L26). I think the route that would open up has some potential.
Also, as an aside, how would we feel after we heroically blasted our way into this empty room...

Move 3W, 1NW to P28
Sprint 1NW, 1N to O26

Ooook! here we go.

move to standing.
move to (33M)
heal on [R1] at (33L)

That's the bot orders!
