1. What does Ridcully think of warping the fleet the last few days travel now and engaging Garkill above Averneus with the combined fleet?
1a. What does Freyr think about this?
2. Would securing the black Crystal breastplate be a suitable mission for the phase tigers?
3. Am i right in expecting Garkill to go for us personally? What do our advisors say about the likelyhood of that?
4. How about the likelyhood of the Orks breaking suddenly and trying to evacuate there expensive assets and fleet?

I have to say, though, that in regard to orks, there is definitely something to be said about the ability to throw your forces however you want.
@Durin
1. Of the Choirs in Salem, which ones are currently usable?
2. Should we just make warplans for Salem, given that's the point where we're running risks?

Can't let them get away with a major piece of the set, or any piece at all.
At least they saved us the trouble of hunting the dude, he was racking up bodies in Duat.
Anyway, maybe we should try to look like we are faltering? As to not make Garkill GTFO?

Completely worth it
How likely would Mocking Garkill and other Orks work considering how much ass is being kicked, doubly so in Salem?

is this right?
Did we really lose all 3 Devil Dog Regiments? Just asking as it seems rather strange compared to the other loses from that roll.

1. bad idea, especcialy as you would only save a few days and risk a decent portion of the fleet
1a. bad idea, he would do it if the situation on Avernus was a lot worse but as things stand the risk to his fleet is not worth the small amount of damage four extra days of Orks will cause
2. it would be a risky one for them, especially as they do not know its powers
3. very likely, or if not you whoever seems to be the most scary person near the front (Surt or Horatius)
4. between 1% and 25%, you really are not sure
1. all
2. yes

it is, mostly because their weapons are short ranged so they were on the front lines

1- Can Ridcully and his choir help us with that?
2- Can we screen the Tigers with elite, but replaceable units?

I'm more concerned about how to get them there, Duat hasn't been connected to the rail network yet, so teleporting is the other option.
We can do it, but well irreplaceable.

I just want to kill that kill stealing bastard...
I wanted to stuff that Crocodile, and mount it on our wall, but now we can't

Remember my omake bonus means that the breastplate ork won't be leaving Avenus so we shouldn't worry about that right now.

1. Just wondering, but how does Rotbart think things are going, on a scale of 1-10?
Scale:
0 or less: Unmitigated Disaster
1: Absolute Disaster
2: Disaster
3: Pretty Bad
4: Poor
5: Middling
6: Okay
7: Decent
8: Good
9: Excellent
10: Amazing
11 or Higher: Suspicously Perfect
2. Have we been doing better than expected, worse than expected? (As compared to our original planning and damage estimates).

1. Bigger then a Baneblade smaller then a Leiviethan
2. Yes, Garkill may have some left but if so single digits
Do you mean those he has left to deploy from orbit, or those he has in total? The troop numbers for Aridia shows he has 816 Gargants (1 Mega, 16 Great).

Dunno what (effective) things Biomancers can do to Weirdboyz in massed situation. Not sure what they've been doing so far, actually; I assume they've been boosting our troops and mass-clearing fatigue.
Our Telekinesis Choirs should be reinforcing our defences; Increasing Defences is a tremendous Force Multiplier for us, given our style of fighting. Daemonology should try to weaken the Weirboyz Choirs, Pyromancers can just go stright up launching nuclear warpfire bombs at the opposing side; Targeting Weirdboyz as desired. Diviners, I think, could try to predict the best time for our deathstrikes and pyromancers to attack the weirdboyz to disrupt their ritual.
Pyro/Death/Divi could easily make for a world of hurt for weirdboyz massed rituals if we hit them right as they're casting.
@Durin
1. Feasible to have Diviners time attacks to hit Weirdboyz as they conduct a ritual?
a. What effect might/could/would a successful strike cause?
2. Garkill's Weirdboyz have likely recovered to nuke us again?

I think just in Salem combat range, it's the only place we should be making warplans for now, as per Durin.
@Durin I'm a little confused by where the generals are. I thought that General Richards was with the harassment force outside Okefenokee (and also the regional commander of Everglades) and that Marshal Paulson was with the harassment forces outside Limberlost. Neither are listed in the current forces summaries. Also Marshal Pope is at Lorien and is the regional commander of Lindon right? (Listed as such inside the summary but not in the Lindon spoiler title).
Hmmm... also once the Roks are destroyed it reduces the chance Garkill will retreat.
Are the railways from Yphax up to Malea still intact? I assume the line to Avernus Spine has be cut off, but it sounds like the Ork Malea army has not completely surrounded Malea and so the line running south to Elysium might still be intact. If so it might be wise to move a bunch of forces north to Malea (particularly the armor and heavies) perhaps allowing us to prepare a future sally once the Ork artillery and defences have been destroyed.
We are probably going to spend the next few years hunting down and eliminating the survivors from Garkill's invasion.
Hmmm... sounds like we need to pull back the harassment forces if they are so outnumbered. Though perhaps we can reinforce them from Dis?
Might also want to move some more troops to Casarrondo and Limberlost from Dis. Since those defences are a little weaker than others (deliberately since the enemy forces are further away).
Hmm... wondering if we should use the last of our deathstrikes here. Obviously we need to get the pyromancers, diviners, and telepathics focused on the weirdboys again. I assume that Xavier and the daemonology choirs have recovered?
Irrelevant, since the fleet can no longer jump in so close to the planet without significant risk.
The orbital defenses are still in existence, plus we have the psykers to help.
More worrisome would be dropping most of his Roks on a new target since many of our cities have their defense forces diverted to the main battlefields. Particularly Asmat and the Fens. Of course, with only another 3 billion Orks it isn't as threatening as it could be.
Biomancers were under orders to enfeeble Orks and invigorate defnders in key battles.
Telekinesis were reinforcing our defenses, but I think were exhausted from the last weirdboyz attacks.

Hey @Durin
1: How many days do we have left to wait for the fleet to arrive anyway?
2: Where did we send Syr during this thing again? It's been a while and I was feeling like maybe writing an Omake.
Glad to see you're back, Durin! It'll be interesting to see how things progress from here. Seems we're reaching a tipping point.
