Re: Project Horizons RP thread

Well, you've got the volunteer corps, you probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference between them and regular wastelanders if they weren't all pegasi. They poorly armed, poorly armoured and have very limited combat experience and training in most cases. Then you've got the generic Enclave Military. Well armoured, but not quite on the scale of Steel Rangers. Usually found with magical energy weapons varying from rifles to Gatling lasers. Combat experience and training is good, however they aren't used to the ruthless guerrilla tactics of most Wastelanders, and I serverely doubt they'll expect us to be this organised. The military are usually backed up by a mechanized division. There vehicles are heavily armoured and usually bear large guns. And lots of them in the case of a Skytank. Then there's the Enclave Special ops. Nasty buggers, but usually you usually wouldn't find them in groups of more than 5. You'll know them when you see them, and I seriously doubt they'd see us as a large enough threat to send Specops. Expect around 10-15 Enclave soldiers, maybe a Raptor or two. Skytank if we're lucky. *Laughs maniacally*

[Katarn]

Well...there was some time ago, when I woke up in some pit, on pile of some pony and zebra bodies, didn't remember a thing about myself and there was some Enclave solder. I think he didn't want to waste ammo on me, so he landed near me and I POINTed out weakness in his armor with my horn...fun times. *chuckle* Anyway, that's how I obtain scar on my face and this revolver. So pretty much, for me, it's hit n' run.

*Looks at Moody*
I think we have, I remember fighting somethin' that looked like a pony sized beetle with energy weapons. That' what they look like right? any way if we can fight four hell hounds at once I'm sure we'll be fine.

That matches the description. Expect them to be organised. With Aonee tied up for ransom, it gives up very few options for engagement. We will have to ambush them, pretty much, on sight, otherwise we risk losing Aonee and Crys if we engage them during negotiations. That, or we engage them as they start boarding whatever vehicle they arrive in, but we still risk losing Aonee due to friendly fire, or they end escaping. Also, once engaged, they'll instantly have the advantage due to their wings, and I'm pretty sure there armour has built-in EFS. My only advice. Go for the weak points, the eyes, the groin, the stomach. Don't be afraid to engage them in close combat if you can isolate them and take them down quickly. Keep moving, but try and stay in cover, use the buildings to our advantage. Those energy weapons are nasty. If anyone has AP ammo, use it. Good luck and be ready for anything.

[Aonee]

*Crystalane carries Aonee out, now all tied ip*
Okay guys, here's the plan. Crys is gonna start making threats about how she's "Captured their agent sent to get her"
At first, they probably won't take us very seriously, which is why we wait until we know they're watching us to blow up the building. Next, once they send something at us, like a Vertibuck or something, you guys distract it with some covering fire while I fly up and use there *holds up power hooves* to board and secure said vehicle. Also don't worry, I was always the pilot back in my squad. So I got this.

[Guest]

*thinks for a bit*
Let me get this straight you want us to shoot at something that has rockets, Gatling lasers , and almost as much armor as the tank we crashed into a tree. I like this idea!
*Turns to face everyone*
Alright y'all heard him lets get ready for some fun!

[MrMagma]

Sounds like a plan! Get set up, make sure your guns are reloaded and that if any parts can be replaced with better parts, that you actually swap them out. I'm off on the middle floor of the building that we haven't loaded it with explosives. It's not that far a drop so I can just jump out of the window and run for it if the need arises.

[Moodyman90]

*nods at what Guard said*
Yeah, then we've fought Enclave before. Oh this is gonna be fun.
*right eye starts to twitch again*
Fun indeed... good thing I still have some armor piercing rounds.

[MrMagma]

((Wait a sec...isn't everyone here? Why aren't we starting?))

[Guest]

*checks rifle magazines*
I got about 4 mags of AP, and the other 8 are standard FMJ's we should be fine.
*looks at Flame*
So what are the chances that they'll open up the troop bay so we can pick a couple off when they exit? If we can manage to take out one or two as soon as they dismount we could cause enough of a panic.
((Aonee is still at school or work I think))

[MrMagma]

Very high. They're not likely to send 1 pony to barter for a hostage. Wait until the bay doors close to start shooting. They'll have no place to fall back to for a while and they will be without backup until the doors open again. However, it would be a good idea to take out the pilots first or they'll just bugger off above the cloud layer.

((Oh okie dokie lokie))

[Guest]

I was hoping that Aonee would be able to take out pilots by then, I don't we have anything that can punch through ballistic glass.
*Looks out the window*
I heard Stalliongrad was famous for producing all kinds of weapons during the war maybe we can find something good.

[Moodyman90]

((well for now we can just plan. plus we still don't have Everybody. Haven't heard from Raf in two days, still stuck working on that mino-tron))

*looks down his rifle sights*
If we're lucky they'll send somepony they don't want to lose and thus the pilots will stick around as long as they're alive. That is unless we get coward pilots who hoof it as soon as trouble starts. Guess we just have to aim for them during the fight before they lift off again.

[Guest]

*Thinks for bit then looks at Moody*
Are talking about baiting? Because if you are that could work. All we would have to do is let one of get far enough away from the rest, one of us puts a round or two in his chest he hits the ground starts call for help then we spring the ambush.

[Katarn]

I don't think, that I have AP bullets for revolver or slugs for my shotgun...BUT *smirk* I have Dragon breath shells! Do you want your chicken grilled with a crust? *Sigh* Only one problem, I need to get close to them or my shot wouldn't reach target. And yeah, I know, they WILL wear armor...but this nasty things *juggles shells with his magic* could burn for a while, even on armor.
*Thinks about all this lure talk*
Or they could abandon their fellow cuz, you know...or worst case scenario - if their transport have guns, they just flew up and we're screwed.
((I can pump myself with extreme amount of tea and 100% stay awake for few hours, I don't need to go anywhere tomorrow in any case))

[Moodyman90]

Not quite that cruel. And most likely would work if it was a lonely private. Now a major or higher would probably make them stick around for a bit longer.
Besides, we still need to wait till Aonee is either in or in a position to get into the transport to take out whoever is inside as we take out those left outside.
*takes a sip from his open sparkle cola*

[MrMagma]

Hmmm. Wound them, but not enough to kill. Then spring the trap as they try to rescue them. Harsh, but necessary for our survival. In the end, its us or them. Fight dirty. Use anything.
Maybe seeing their dead rise before them will scare the crap outta them. Oh, the joys of necromancy *Dances merrily in a circle*

[Moodyman90]

*stares at Flame*
Remind me to not piss you off. I rather not have to kill the same things over and over.

[Guest]

*Looks at Flame and shudders*
Right...I just see it as why fight fair when we can win by fighting dirty. As for the person leaving I assume they would send somepony at least a Sargent to retrieve a prisoner. I think it could work.

[Aonee]

Hmmm... Hey Crys, can you retie these ropes so it's one piece on both my wings and legs?
What? Why? *Begins retieing the knots*
Just to make things easier later, that's all.
((Soon guys, heading home from school now, but I have something else to get out before I get home.))

[Moodyman90]

(( No problem. we can chill for a bit longer.))

[MrMagma]

((Yeah iv'e still got a couple of hours in me))

[Guest]

*Radio* Sorry guys got distracted. Found a comfy spot to lay down for a while. Damn ribs. Anyway Did I miss anything?

[MrMagma]

Funny you should mention that...

The Enclave are coming soon.

[Guest]

*radio*Nothin much, The building across the street is rigged to explode, a Zonicorn necromancer joined us, we found some special battery, and We're going to hijack an enclave vertibuck so we can get back to base.
Oh and we found out that Crys has kink.

[Guest]

*Radio* So business as usual? *Gets up and stretches* *Yawn* So what did you find in the building you rigged?

[Moodyman90]

*stares off blankly again*
You guys did look didn't you? I was busy looting here to go over there.
And either Raf is in the zone or having trouble with that mino-tron, haven't heard a peep from him in a while.

[Guest]

I can't say I looked. To be fair, when Katarn planted the explosive we were really drunk. I guess I could go check it out real quick.

[MrMagma]

Please do. I'm itching for a fight.

[Aonee]

Wha.. What?!? I do NOT have a "kink!"
Oh really? Then how come you can tie these knots so well? And if I remember-
*Stuffs some rope into Aonee's mouth* Shut up!
*Rolls eyes, spits gag out* Aw come on, if you're gonna gag me, at least do it right. Now, everyone ready?

((Ready when you are!))
