I like the idea of bolstering the PDF with a Chimera. The other Chimera can be reinforced with my cluster mines.

I'll assume Kubra is helping the PDF since that's kind of where my post had him. Has he seen anywhere to snipe from?

Guess i'll be getting the tarantulas then. Together with my smite and psy heavy flamer we should be able to make some bug stew.

/me points at the stew "I'm not eating that!

Ahh... irc...

Unfortunately, the few soldiers you have with you do not have enough manpower or time to barricade all the roadways. The Kill-team and the PDF must settle for barricading the small western roadway.

Kubra finds the platform to provide excellent vantage over the killing grounds.

The Tarantula sentry guns are positioned to aim at the eastern roadway.

Hrothgar narrows the rail-head entrance with a Chimera, then places mines in the narrow, clear path.

The PDF crew the Chimera and position it near the spaceport roadway.

Everyone happy?

Sounds about right. Lets roll before summer hits full force and people poof for weeks one after another.

Sounds good, but we all know how long a plan survives after enemy contact.

Also, I can't help thinking a Devastator might come in handy fairly soon :D

Yeah MOAR DAKKA!!!!!

Nothing fixes problems quite like Moar Dakka.

Or red paint, coz red wuns go fast!

I will update today, promise.

No worries, summer is usually go slow time anyway. This game is a PB for me as far as up & running time goes.

I should stay in position until the horde reaches us.

In reply to Kyros (msg # 826):

Most likely. Going all choppy a hundred meters out might not work out so well.

Are the tarantulas in any position to provide cover fire? Or is scale ect so big we cant really support? ie i can smite effortlessly in the close range band. If thats not an option and the tarantullas cant provide covering fire i'll do nothing.

Oooh, forgot to ask. What size hordes are we up against here?

The century guns can only Traverse far enough to cover the one entrance. Between the two of them, they provide a full Field of Fire facing the entrance they were set up, but they can't aim at the other ones. The hordes provide + 30 to hit.

Arkio, you can use your powers to support the others and other areas by simply moving a little closer. This will not impede your ability to return to your current area.

right.

By auditory perception do you mean Awareness + Heightened Hearing?

Yeah, and you can only get information you might get from hearing. Or, like, smelling, I guess.

19:57, Today: Kyros rolled 59 -- 1 degree of success using the Only War system with a target number of 61 ((59)).

Hark!  I think I hear something.

And your question?

Right...this was a two part thing...

Does Kyros hear any Tyranids in the area he's staked out to guard?

22:44, Today: Kubra rolled 11 -- 5 degrees of success using the Only War system with a target number of 52 ((11))

Do I hear a large creature?
Do I hear long range weapons?
Do I hear our evac?
Do I hear fighting in the city?
Do I hear the PDF panicking?
