If you read back to the end of the last campaign, you'll see it ended up with Merrick and Fury realising that this man was nothing really special himself. There are many imperials now working for the republic.

His tactics are quite good, the real reason we need to be worried about him is that he is a very charasmatic leader and his men will do anything for him. His weakness is that he is overconfident and takes things personally.

Well thats my take on him anyway and seems to be in line with what was said at the end of last HSC

Uh Phoenix, your last two posts make aboslutely no sense.  You've completely ignored what I've written in my posts which state that you are under heavy bombardment from a larger rebel pincer attack.


People please READ the posts, right now it sounds like we are fighting on two completely different bases.  Raiders, IH, and Jester are under attack by 80 rebels plus speeders on their flanks and two hundred or more troopers in their vanguard with tanks and speeders.

In Otto's post we took care of that.

*Note* See "island of death"

solution to all of this:

Let me handle my squad and what happens to them. No one made you in charge of te story, so get down off your high horse. Don't pull this "all the rebels run away from us to trap you" stuff.

I HAVE HAD F****** ENOUGH


You all godamn complain about each others posts, you all forget to read what the last person wrote, then you dont make things clear enough, then you bitch.

IT HAS BEEN A F****** EFFORT AND A HALF TO TRY AND KEEP THIS THING GOING.



Right here's how things went:

We had a mess up on the first bit because people didnt read that the ship was parked next to ours, only Kami seemed to bother reading it. But then it went smoothly.

I posted the guidelines for the next part of the mission and things went well. I liked the crash landing part and the high speed battles on the snow.

Afyon posted about the plan to hold the ridge, fair enough.
From then on the number of Rebels just seemed to multiply, more and more tanks and speeders.
The raiders stole a tank and phoenix posted about heading back to the Rebel base and blowing up a wall, this was a strange move but we went with it. Iron Horse jumped in after them and attacked the breach in the rebel base. I posted about the imperial reinforcements having landed and had them start to advance on the base as i wanted to speed things up. Everyone ignored this

Then Afyon added in more tanks. And had a large force heading back to the base.

At this stage in the story, the raiders and IH were actually inside the base, or at least in the gap in the wall Pheonix blew out of it.

Otto then wrote what was a very good post, but i'm not entirely sure what he was referring to? 80 men is a lot of firepower for 4 DJ to hold off with lightsabers and also we seemed to be back outside the base all of a sudden.

I dont get what Afyon then wrote about either? The gate to the base is on the north west side, as draw in my diagrams. Has anyone except Pheonix looked at the bleeding things? I took time to draw them to try and stop confusion. I'm guessing Afyon meant the rebels retreating bypassed us and went to the gate? And that the Imperial reinforcements had attacked the southern outposts?



So Afyon, stop being a control freak. Stop going out of your way to dictate events going on far away from your position.
Everyone take the time to read other peoples posts.



Right now, why the hell are there more Rebel reinforcements??? Seriously how the **** did they get here? Why do the rebels have such a stong force? we attacked with only a platoon for a reason, because it wasn't heavily defended. Now we're fighting some full scall war with tens of tanks and hundreds upon hundreds of men!

I wanted to write the odd post with mission guidelines in and let it run from there, but that just hasnt worked.




How about we go from: Imperial reinforcements landed, only 200 men and speeders. No tanks. The rebels only have whats left in the base which is only a few squads defending the HQ and lots of men on the walls and in the outposts and scattered around the base.
Raiders, IH and Jester have broken through a wall and are trying to cause some damage (phoenix's plan), the imperial reinforcements have smashed the Rebel attack and now they are attacking in Afyon's pattern.


That sound alright? I'll see if i can get someone with moderation to go with me and edit/delete posts to clear up the last part of the story, please don't take offence at this.

I decided not to dictate too much in this story, if you want me to i will.

Also, I am not a control freak, just thought I'd get that out there for the record.


In addition, I wanted to clarify this story so that I know what the Dragoons are reinforcements are engaging.  From my posts, we are doing the attacks on the outposts then i figured we would hit the rebel flanks.  But accoring to Phoenix's posts the troopers I mentionned don't exist.  So it's very hard for me to figure out what the Dragoons are supposed to be fighting.

Uh there are no people chasing us, as I said, they broke off and attacked your flank.

Secondly, its not your place to instruct me on how to obey a superior officer so drop it.

Thirdly, the tanks have been part of the story for well over a page now, we didn't quash them earlier so I take that to mean they are fair game.

It means you are being attacked in the vanguard and flank at the same time.

Did you guys actually READ Raz's message?

Raiders arent getting pincer attacked anymore.

Raiders Jester and IH are inside the base. Raiders is rearming in the barracks, IH is working over the motorpool. (See my next to last post for full details).

That is what's going on. Raz approved it and said to go with it, and since he is the PA AND running the competition right now, that is what we are doing.

End of dicussion.

Once again Phoenix, I don't need you to tell me what I am and am not able to do nor is that your place so I'd drop it.  That would be the logical thing to do, unless of course Raz's labelling my as a power freak was a mistake and he meant to say you.  Seems to me that right now that title is much more fitting for yourself.

Well considering I actively promote running a squad as a democracy, I can hardly see how that makes me a control freak.

And in regards to what I said before, I didn't say you were instructing me as to what is going on in the story, I was referring to how you are instructing me to follow orders.  You are not my superior and really have no ability to put me in my place in terms of what orders I should follow and instruct me as to who is in charge and thus who I should follow.  In addition, its not your call to say if there is an end to the discussion.

On another note, if you want to continue this discussion please feel free to bring it up with me in a personal message but lets try and at least create a charade of peace in the comnet and take this argument out of the public light.  I think that would serve the collective good of the army well.

Can we just get this whole damn fiasco over with and have someone who actually has the authority over the story to try and fix it please, instead of all of us bickerin over which way the story should go, and trying to control what the others are posting?
