Would an ambush by Agani be hindered or helped by the power armour though? If we do carry out an ambush, we definitely want to use the stealthiest of our troops, so that would be using the Phase Tigers who are super sneaky. We know the Governor's Own are very skilled in a straight up fight, but they might muck up an ambush against the DE, who I presume are good at spotting ambushes, since they use them so often themselves. @durin how capable are the Governor's Own at stealth compared to the Phase Tigers? If sent on an ambush mission together, would the Governor's Own make the Phase Tigers more likely to be spotted?

@Elder Haman

Please consider changing to have McFarlane with the Biomancy Choir. Putting him elsewhere is, I feel, highly suboptimal, considering how precious a resource the Timeless Army is.

Bit of an issue in that there's not any majority on giving Governor's Own to anyone. Ridcully has a majority wanting to give him some, but not in the amount (1 vs 2 companies). For everyone else there's no majority, so I'm not sure how durin will handle that.

If we assign Governor' Own to Lt. Gen. Agani, will that damage her ability to lead an ambush force against the Dark Eldar?

Just as a reminder, their armor does have a camouflage module backpack. If it's an ambush, I think it'd be fine. They can be stealthy if not moving much.

I'm afraid I disagree. I think the optimal situation is to spread out the Biomancy, not concentrate it. I think adding a Biomancy to guard Surt is far more important than the Timeless Army, as I think Surt is more valuable than the Timeless Army.

War Council Part Five: Departure

    • War Council Part Five: Departure

    You decided that Headmaster Ridcully should lead the Diviner Choir and Primaris Jakobson the Telekinesis Choir, both in space, Primaris Xavier will lead the Deamonology Choir beside Champion Surt who will have Primaris McFarlane assigned to guard him. You have also assigned a company of the Governor's Own to protect Headmaster Ridcully as the most valuable member of the Imperial Trust that would benefit from the added bodyguards.

    After the final decisions were made the Imperial Trust fleet, a hundred cruisers and two hundred escorts strong set out accompanied by the two hundred and fifty transports assigned to this campaign carrying several hundred million soldiers. This force while small compared to the great crusade fleets used by the Old Imperium includes nearly the entirety of the Imperial Trusts warp capable warships and over a tenth of its total military manpower. It s without a doubt the most powerful military force that you have ever seen go to war and you hope that it will be enough to deal with the unknown horrors that the Dark Eldar bring to bear.

    Your fleet spends eight days in the Warp before emerging in the outer regions of the Fjol system, six light hours from Fjol IV, a distance that should be enough to guarantee that you will not be attacked before your ships get their Void Shields up.

    The initial scans of the Dark Eldar presence give far more detail then was previously known about the Dark Eldar orbital assets. There are two large stations, a hundred and fifteen orbital weapons platforms, fifty visible escorts and twelve visible cruisers. This is only a small fraction of the Dark Eldar fleet but you expect that the rest are in the system but out of sight.

    2 Battleships
    6 Grand Cruisers
    1 Heavy Cruiser
    24 Battlecruisers
    42 Cruisers
    40 Light Cruisers
    246 Escorts

    4 Mass Convoyers
    43 Troop Transports
    225 Merchantmen

    2 Defence Stations
    115 Orbital Weapons Platforms

    12 Cruisers
    50 Escorts

    estimated at least 12 hidden cruisers
    estimated at least 50 hidden escorts
     
  • Threadmarks
    • 2:1 odds cruiser-wise
    2.5:1 odds escorts wise

    I don't know if that's enough for us to bridge the tech-gap.

    @durin: Do any of the orbital platforms look incomplete?
     
    Now we have to leave things to the Admiral and hope the Diviner Choir does a good job directing things.
     
    the admiral will be planning the fighting, you will begin voting either when you reach the ground or just after
     
    @durin - I recall the initial report had their defenses all around the planet, rather than concentrated over the cities like we had them in Avernus. Is that still the case here?
