Raid on Rocherath Battery: Sign Up

[laukkenan]

Well, if you guys want to handicap yourselves its your call, and id need be, I will back out

[Nathan Whyte]

No Artillery sounds fair enough to me. However, if the Axis guys can't secure permission for NPCs from Kriegheld, they can't fight. Ask now, not later!

[Nicholas Ealing]

So...when does this start...?

Also, I haven't been feeling too well recently so can I ask that David make the first Allied post and be Allied Player 1 so that we don't miss out on a turn? I don't think I'll be able to do much posting over the next few days.

I hope you are dieing.
;D

I hope you are lerning how to spell.
;D

So do I
;D

[Nathan Whyte]

It will start when I have names of NPCs.

All of you, go NOW!, otherwise, no NPCs, and it'll be a simple 2 v. 2

[Nicholas Ealing]

I'll bring 7 of the 13 men. It's down to David to bring the other 6.

- Corporal Michael Norrington
- Private Marcus Golding
- Private Jake Travers
- Private Dafydd Lynn
- Private Gareth Montgomery
- Private Robert Canterbury
- Private Jacob Doyle

David, can I ask that you don't bring too many NCO's - maybe just one or two? I know you want to win but I reckon we already hold an unfair advantage...

[PuNk! ™]

I reckon we already hold an unfair advantage...

Speaking as the Allied Commander here for this epic battle campaign; War is unfair. We lost our first battle to a whole platoon of men and a tank, where our guys barely had enough man-power opposed to the Germans AND had to attempt to try and retreat successfully. Something that was highly un-doable considering they had a tank watching their every move and infantry breathing down their necks at such close quarters.

You use what you have to use to win this.
Otherwise, that's another two Allied fighters in prison for the duration of this campaign. I can't afford to bail everyone out, I need what CP I have to fund whatever bigger battles arise for this campaign. I'm pretty much the Allies only hope when it comes down to needing a big force and you guys are my only hope of fighting beside someone.

Please, if David and Ealing get thrown into prison, where do my options lay for anymore counter-parties to fight with me? Remember, you can only choose one character and use that one character for the entire duration of this campaign. People like JT have chosen their sides, using his McMillan account, so don't think we have Patterson and don't think Nathan can pull out his pilot guy when we need it - they've all chosen their characters. This is your only chance to stay alive, so won't be able to come back with another character.

You use what you have to use and if you need more, you come to me.

[Nicholas Ealing]

Can I ask a question?

If the enemy capture, say, the fuel dump at one point but lose it by the end of the battle, who gets the objective points?

[PuNk! ™]

I'll let Nathan or Strum' answer your question, but I'm guessing, whoever's still alive and holding that fuel-dump will get the points. Don't let me down Rhys, David. Please, give it your best. I'm already up against an additional platoon of extra Volksgrenadiers in the final battle - you lose this, the final battle is going to be even worse for me and whomever is alive to be my partner.

You need anything extra, let me know.
~Danny

[S.SGT David Bevan]

We won't we ahve been discussing tactics for ages and we know exactl what equipment we need for te job. We'll get you that artillery support.

[Nathan Whyte]

PuNk's right, whoever holds it at the end of the battle gets the Objective Points.

[laukkenan]

Kriegheld told me that he can't lend me any NPC's, so I have none. Again, if I need to back out I will, so that someone with NPC's can do this.

[Nathan Whyte]

Vaalto, beg borrow and steal. If needs be, I'll lend you some of William Luther's men, but that's a last resort, and there aren't enough of them.

And yes, I know I'm playing as an Allied Member, but I want this to go ahead and they need 13 NPCs within 48hrs, otherwise it WILL[/u] start as it is now.

[Heiko Alkema]

Thus far all I have to bring in is my own private (<---) who hasn't been added to the div roster yet...

- Private Kasper Löwe

Only 12 more to go...

[laukkenan]

yeah, Kriegheld says that he can't let me barrow Wolfies men

There is a lot of Axis members who have a lot of men; Wolfram is one of them, but he's currently having issues of his own to deal with, which is why he isn't around a great deal right now.

Kriegheld, E.McMillan, Strumfelder (although, he's more support); Are all big fish to the Waffen-SS division. I'm not quite sure what division you're in, personally, but if none of them can borrow you any man-power, then that's a little odd really.

If you win this battle, you could easily multiply your strength of manpower ten-fold, from the CP you'll earn. Obviously, if you lose, you'll get significantly less CP.

Personally, I know all the new guys want some fighting and action, but they're probably neglecting to provide you with men, on the boundries you're completely new and inexperienced. I'm not saying don't take part in this battle, but perhaps it would be wise you took part in some Skirmish battles, before attempting to take part in something that's more complicated.

If you truly, truly want to take part in this battle, I'll cut you a deal. Sure I'm the bad-guy right now, because my character is Captain Brentwood (the Allied Commander of this Epic Campaign), but I want people to enjoy themselves here and if no-one is bold enough to borrow you some men - shame on them. I would borrow you some men of my own...

My Axis Character is Kyle Steinbeck of the SS-Ahnenerbe, if you join the division, I'll supply you with some troops, funded out of my own CP. I don't have many with my Axis account, but there would be enough for you to take part in this battle. All I ask, is that you attempt to repay them (any dead) at the end of the battle.

But only take me up on this offer, if your comrades truly do neglect to give you man-power. Pretty shocked really.
