I do like to think of the thread as the dark hive mind pup-petering the body of a person in universe.
.YAAY fellow number haterJust please, no number crunching expectations
We managed through our last war, which lasted quite a few year. I agree that the Primaris Execution should stay home, we have super-elite operatives to make assassinations.
Eh, I think we can spare one execution force.

We did make three for a reason
The fact this is an actual potential problem is probably not something most of the former Imperials saw coming.
And the best way to survive is to make sure that we defend the colonies so that we get more troops, more material and more everything in the future.
Don't worry, just address them to the thread before durin so we can try and get the answers for you first.
Mate Avernus is not automatically in the cross hairs of all the trust's enemies if it's anyone it's Vanahiem (our biggest obvious weak point) or Midgard (our capital).
And yet we were fine deploying a much more significant proportion of our forces for over 30 years while we were taring holes in the walls of our own cities
.
I'm completely aware of where we are I am also aware that despite your fear mongering we're not about to be completely obliterated by either the wildlife, psykers or anyone else.
) and past experience has show we can send almost everything off and be quite fine without them thank you very much.
Wow we're tiny.
Im curious what our pop would be if Avernus wasn't so Avernus.
Is it a cultural choice?
Huh I thought it was 3 6s on 3 d100s
We never deployed more than half our forces there, and we still suffered heavy military casualties to wildlife, and I don't even want to imagine how many hundreds of millions of civilians deaths it caused (and that's before the recent increase of aggressiveness and deadliness that Avernus wildlife seem to have undergone, we are already seeing massive casualties even with full garrison, I don't even want to imagine what kind of havoc they would cause if we send mostof our military offworld).And yet we were fine deploying a much more significant proportion of our forces for over 30 years while we were taring holes in the walls of our own cities
What "massive boon"? All Trust did was sell us decent amount of AM from their significant stockpile (and while they were loosing some of it per year last we checked with all AM producers significantly increading their production lately that may no longer be an issue). I don't get why are you treating simple business transaction as if it was some sort of invaluable gift.
Nothing to show? How about Avernites being responsible for nearly every warlord kill in recent campaigns? Or leading massively successful conquest that finished two years ahead of what was considered extremely rushed estimate (and because Avernite forces almost always took most difficult and dangerous positions other forces probably suffered really low casualties as well). While our reputation may not be spotless Avernite martial ability was never in question, it's the the things we get up to when we aren't murdering everloving crap out of Trust's enemies people tend to have problems with.
That was paid from what the trust already owed us. I think we got a good price, but that's it.
If they're just standing around guarding, then yes, they're definitely being wasted when they could be standing around on Avernus and guarding us from the wildlife. But I don't think this is what we're committing them to, here.
And yet we are the world getting the most attacks.
Dude. Punctuation really helps communication.
We're also sitting on the most anti chaos place in the universe outside of a craftworld.
But why should it be?
No this is what we were deploying
Well it kinda was. It was low rate and they offered it saving us time it was also a lot more AM than any single source could have gotten to us.
And because we have a reputation I say we uphold it and save both the Trust and us a lot of trouble in the longer run (though the decrease in time was partially because of Ridcully and Xavier not Avernite troops).
Can't deny that, though either that's due to PC power or random number generators being weird.
Yeah 15% of our Front line regiments and 30% of our Grenidires, but that's a permanent thing, not a by year thing. It only changes if we increase the size of our forces and they're considered part of the Imperial Guard.
I'm completely aware of where we are I am also aware that despite your fear mongering we're not about to be completely obliterated by either the wildlife, psykers or anyone else.
The Witch Hunters, Psyker hunters, witch finders and assassins are not leaving nor are Jane or Ridcully so the psyker problems are null and void seeing how we can seemingly kill anything at gamma with no problems and most betas the same (and of course our conventional troops are really ****ing useful in an alpha fight yeah they'll do so freaking much as cannon fodder
In fact we did it for the last 30 years while ripping massive holes in our defences.

Then don't start yelling at people and acting like we will.
Our elite soldiers can be deployed off world almost in their entirety even with the ramp up of the wildlife while the PDF does it's job.
Mate we can kill off anything below Delta with ease with just our veteran psyker hunters, everything above gamma gets flattened by the witch hunters and conventional troops are pretty much useless against beta levels in our cities. At best they get in the way.
They've been ramped up for over a turn now, with casualties hovering around 2 million. Nasty, but nothing we can't deal with and they are inflated apparently due to our defensive upgrades.
Apart from considerations of the Super Orks I don't think I've missed anything.
We still have constant recruitment and because of that bigger population size we can loose whole percent of our military each year and automatically replace it.
That's also a really good point actually. Out of all core worlds (and probably even colonies, they may be former ork worlds but any large concentration of orks on those worlds can be detected and exterminated before they grow out of controll unlike on Avernus) we have by far biggest ork infestation which will become huge problem pretty much immediately once G&M awakens.
Ehh, I don't know. As long as we keep to PDF only it shouldn't be too bad (and we can expand Heltroopers/Helguard manually when we have sufficient AM/EM available).
Right, that reminds me that we have orks on Avernus. Something to keep in mind, and also something to observe closely in five years time.
Yeah.
It should be fine when we're done with our city upgrades and get our super-forges going.
