Also, shouldn't the second mention be of a brigade, rather than a battalion? It's a rather big difference (particularly if the threat is the Buffalo Militia.)
Typo.
Oh? Did the Victorians here throw their Fourth-Generation War book into a dumpster and actually put their tanks to the task of making breakthroughs, rather than leaving that job to the infantry?
It was pretty coincidental, mostly by virtue of the tanks pressing forward to earn a glorious death in what the Vicks saw as relieving themselves of assets worthless for their current situation...but yeah.
6 vs. 8. Well, they made a good attempt at it, but it turns out that T-34s and mauled infantrymen, no matter how rabid, don't do so hot while trying to forge across a wide and shallow river. Over two days of fighting, the Victorian
get fucked.
And now, the Lake front. On the Victorian side, cargo ships. On yours, the usual. You're being cautious, suspecting a trap. In this case, "cautious," means, "send the entire marine force on their speedboats to dogpile one of the smaller ships and secure it before they have any hope of scuttling. Use that as a barometer."
And...well, okay, I'm not going to bother with rolling for this. The Victorians' plan was to gut punch you, but unlike the
Niagara, these Victorians didn't have a week. And furthermore...Victorians don't actually bote that well. They don't have a good conception of what it takes to rig good scuttling charges. The plan was for your marines to board, get thoroughly stuck in, and then blow the scuttling charges and sink your entire marine corps, but...they just can't possibly fucking do it. They
cannot do it! They weren't willing to commit actual troops that wouldn't get to participate in the glorious island last stand, so the people on these ships are civilians! Half of them are just surrendering without a fight because they don't want to die! The other half are hemming and hawing about
actually scuttling a ship on which they're stuck. They were trying not to tip you as to the plan, so they couldn't load enough explosives to impact how they were riding in the water. And finally, they're civilians attempting to prevent what is essentially an even-more-militarized company of amphibious SWAT teams from doing counter-terrorist work.
I'm not putting numbers to this. It's
absurd.
You have captured all of the cargo ships.
Does anybody know how small of an object marine radar can pick up?
