@Enjou, I think it's a bad idea to send Jacob to Asgard, for pretty much the same reasons why Nurgle said it was a good idea: Jacob is good at small unit tactics, stealth, and assassinating heroes. The battle for Asgard will be a full on World War. Jacob's proficiency at small unit tactics will not make any difference there. The battle will be waged by massive armies duking it out, not individual heroes duelling each other. Hordes counter heroes, and Jacob is a hero specialised in killing heroes, not hordes, so it's especially bad for him.

Send him to Muspelheim. The battlefields are smaller, so small unit tactics will be more important. As the update itself said, the battle for Muspelheim will be one of elites, and heroes counter elites, and with elites come heroes to lead them, so Jacob's status as hero and proficiency at killing heroes will be most useful here. Finally, Muspelheim is a lot of space stations. You know Genestealers? Or the aliens from Alien/Aliens? That's Jacob. He's the one crawling through the side passages, ambushing enemies and causing lots of fear and damage. There's no substantial opportunity for his stealth proficiency to come to the fore in Asgard, but there's many opportunities in Muspelheim.

I recommend sending Surt to Asgard in his place. Surt is a horde-killer. Muspelheim is a battle of elites while Asgard is a battle of hordes, so he'll do more good in Asgard.

So I crunched the numbers because I was curious/bored about how large our sides force was man power wise, this is without taking into account skill like the militia. There 110,332,280,000 men with allied forces and 9,500 space marines, I fucking love the scale of this quest.

Also this might be one of our last campaigns with Schwarz as he's almost over 700 and the hyper junvent will stop working soonish:cry::cry::cry:.

damn, he'll be missed. both as a person and because we're likely going to be replacing him with General Hye Richards, unless someone else in the trust has a general with martial 40+. Most of her possible replacements are noticeably less skilled than her, though Samanta Khol comes close now that her diplomacy is above the point of giving her an active penalty.

can someone link me to where the character sheets are? I looked around and I only found a few of them in the info-sections at the bottom of the thread. I kinda feel like the informational threadmarks could totally have a "chracter sheets" list.........
 
@Enjou

For the plan you're using, it's pricing Guard Armies at nine points each instead of eight. You're going to need to readjust it for the Asgard location.

they are split across a few places. to find them check the first post under the information sheets tab.
 
Uh, we don't have to specify that Arathea go with the Eldar to headcap Turoq if we burn a favor for that right?
 
@Enjou, the biggest space battle will take place over Asgard but there are no generals who specialise in space combat going there. If you want to send someone over, send Freyr.

One of the Inquisitors too, it looks like he has a 100 years or so.
 
Regarding our old people, fear not. While Nezi isn't powerful enough to provide immortality, he should still be good enough to provide some life extensions. We'll soon also have alkahestry to bump up lifespans.

Rotbart will be busy doing ground warfare, where he benefits from his Paragon trait.
 
[X] Spend Eldar Minor Favour for Strike Force

After thinking about it for a while, I've decided that this is something worth doing. If we don't kill Turoq now we run the risk of him escaping and becoming a permanent thorn in our side. If he dies and is not given True Death he will still keep up his divination games with us. If he lives and escapes back to his seat of power, we have no guarantee that the Eldar will be able to kill him. Daemon worlds are difficult to infiltrate, even for them.

The longer we have Turoq alive the longer we have to deal with his raids and his interference with the Ork domains near us. Let us finish him and end this.

I understand that this may open our forces to greater harm than the war host would. And I understand that that is entirely correct. It would hurt our military. But that's why I was supporting the spending of two favors so we could do both. However, as it seems that we are not willing to do so the single option of the strike force seems the best to me.

Nothing stops him from doing both, or first space and then ground, and having Sarnow or Syr with us to pick up the slack. And chances are there won't be a ground battle in the first place, anyway.

Not really. After the battle he will be without much psykers or space marines, and down half of his fleet. Even discounting debts from Dark Forges, we can just launch a counterattack immediately afterwards if he's not dead, and he won't have forces to raid us in meantime.
 
@Durin, would assigning a general (either Aelfric or Schwarz) to the colonies improve our defenses there, or are they too spread out for one man to effectively command over?
