@RagnorakTres I like it, especially if you're actually right about this (which would be phenomenal like you can't believe), I'm down with what you're suggesting except for the part where you mention 'wife'. We may refer to Jagdhund as Tacit's 'Wife' as a joke, but given the circumstances, I think we need to rely less on (inside) jokes and more on far more solid terms that don't require context for understanding.
The use of YF for wife is intended to imply a close relationship between Tacit and Jagd, and I don't think Waltz will misunderstand the use of it. We could use YL for young lady, if that's more to people's tastes, but we have an advantage over traditional morse in that we can see the other operator, using body language to substitute for lengthy prefix/suffix explanations. We could cut out the designation for Jagd entirely, but that might be misunderstood as "So far (all our interactions have been) nonhostile, please explain (why you are in a combat stance)?"
 
Hm. That's much simpler, even crude, but it makes sense to a certain degree, especially if (Doylist reasoning) Fyrstorm doesn't have any particular experience with Morse.

If you're right, we should signal for Jagd to fall back and try a more crude shorthand. Maybe...

HLD FR, ALL NONHOS *wait for Jagd to fall back*
UR FNCTN?

Translation:
Hold Fire, All (everyone here is) Nonhostile
Your function?

Yes, because Tacit can totally charge three kilometres in one go.
Well that's just an unacceptable problem with Tacit's build that we'll need to fix ASAP! Probably with more rockets or Jaeger Flight. :V

Jokes aside, I read the distance things as "The Fangs are 25 units away from Tacit, Waltz himself is five units away." My mistake. :oops:

I like this plan.

*Calculates internally*

... Assuming you manage to keep the solid fuel boosters, get flight, and up your agility one more time (to 5), your maximum charge range should be 30 units (2d5+2(5+2+3)). Keep in mind that flight doubles your agi, and your stuff is all bonuses to agi.

Keeping in mind we have no idea what that roll is going to result in, I can back Ragnorak's proposed plan in a preliminary way.
I will say this; it is not directly related to Waltz's reaction. That is all.
 
Here's @RagnorakTres' suggestion in vote form.

[X] Morse back to Waltz, it seems to be working better this time.
-[X] HLD FR, ALL NONHOS
--[X] Tacit and JH retreat four units and resume signalling.
-[X] UR FNCTN?

I have the worrying feeling that we may have to ply our GLORIOUS NIPPON STEEL here soon.

Yes, I'm still working. Don't worry-- there's just a lot of stuff on my plate to deal with.
