Total War 2.0

[Terror]

Considering the popularity of the previous War thread I started but got banned to gob's dungeon because the lack of rules i will start a new one, this time with more rules though.

*rules*

- You do not choose a planet or whatsoever, you choose a team, either 'Aramon' or 'Taros' (sssh Scytale don't say a thing ;) )

- You can make your own team of warriors whatever you like, be it Jedi's, Fremen, Sardaukar, Romulans it doesn't matter but you can't be in charge of armies of entire planets or whatsoever

- Like i said, it is a teambased game. So every post you reply to you have to write down the team you are in again so everyone can remember who's team you're on. And the point is not that everyone fights for themselves, but everyone fights for the team. Supporting each other is the plan

- No one is allowed to kill someone that is a member of this board, only their teams.

*end of rules* (if needed, i will update the rules)

Terror joins team 'Aramon'

Alarms are ringing all over the place, Red lights are flashing and people are running around hysterically. Terror wakes up and wonders what is happening. He quickly puts his armor on and grabs his Sword of Thunder, as he fears a new attack of the violent Taros.

After a short conversation with the first person who knows what's happening he start to imagine what is going to happen. Taros ships have gone out of warp and are now orbiting the planet. Soon after landing ships have been sent out to the surface. It looks like a total invasion.

Terror runs to the nearby intercom and orders his entire team consisting of 20 well armed warriors to go to the briefing room, because Terror is planning to do an ambush on a few landing ships that will be at this headquarters withing 30 minutes.

[AWACS]

Joins Taros. no time to post in graphics lesson :P

[ExSPlug]

Joins Taros.

~Taros Hovertroop carrier, briefing room~

"We'll be the first squad to strike this time!"

*Warcies are being heard across the briefing room*

"Our objective today is to breakthrough their aerial defences and knockout their radar station!"

*ExSPlug then pressed a few buttons on a remote*

"As you all see, this radar station controls the aerial defences around the Aramon HQ. Once it's down, our troops could land and swarm the HQ. Victory would then be ensured. Now go and get your gears and we'll deploy in 3 minutes! Dismiss!"

Aramon

Terror and his squad are finally done with the preperations for the upcoming battle. Every single man is armed and armored now. Terror says: "Ok marines due to the emergency right now, most people are stationed here to defend the base against the invasion. But small elite teams, like ours are going out to gather information on what's happening and trying to do as much damage to the enemies as possible.

Ok Christian, you drive the tank.... Jones, you are the gunner. Rest of the team enter the APC, i will drive. Now gogogogogo!

not much later the tank and the apc are on it's way to the desired location. The wind is blowing hard and the sky is dark, it will be raining soon. During this fast and hard ride Terror gives additional briefing info. Ok people. We're going to ambush a couple of those landing ships, but in order to ambush them we must be there long before they are because we cannot afford to be spotted. The time that we reach the target is estimated on 15 minutes. So get ready as we don't have much time.

approximately 14 minutes later the APC and the tank have reached their target and all marines are rushing out the APC to set the ambush. Machinegun posts are being set up. Mines are placed and the tank, apc and marines are being covered, trying to hide from enemy sight. Luckily the sky is very dark now and the first rain drops are coming down, this will make it harder for the landing ships to spot them.

Taros

~Taros Hovertroop carrier, launching tube~

"Ok boys check your heat shields and armor seals for one last time! Don't want any of ya to burn to crisp!"

The hovertroops blasted out of the launching tubes. Soon they're through the atmoshpere.

"Staggered formation! Recruits at the rear! Needa care about those missles and laser blasts, they're just stray shots, you won't be in effective range until you reach 1500m! And remember that when you're exposed, they're too! Go go go!"

The squad then dives down at full thrusters, leading by ExSPlug. They would reach the ground in 3 minutes.

[Anathema]

Joins Araman

Meanwhile, ... is overseeing the evacuation of a nearby village, guiding the last of the civilians to the evac choppers.

"Come on, move! We don't have all day!"

He looked up to the sky and saw the decending pods. He estimated they would land about 500 metres from his current position.

"All right, men- party time! Teams alpha through Delta, that way. Peterson, you're in charge. I'm leading the rest and take them from the other direction. MOVE!

[Terror]

Aramon

Terror's team of veteran soldiers waited for approximately 10 minutes, soon after they saw them coming, at least 7 landing pods came through the dark skies. Rain was now pouring down on them quite hard and some soldiers were cursing because of the weather, even though they knew it was actually in their advantage.

Terror: Hmm it looks like they've not spotted us yet since they didn't alter their courses. Ok men, hold your positions and hold fire until i tell you to do otherwise.

Sergeant Vasquez: roger that sir!

When all landing pods reached the ground the doors opened and soldiers walked out, not aware of the impending danger. And then as if like a nightmare multiple explosions coming from satchel charges wreaked havoc among the soldiers. Many already died from the grenades that were thrown. Most ran out to find cover and spot the enemy, not looking for the mines that were placed there and a couple more of them fell victim to the weapons of aramon. Taros already suffered many casualties but not even one gun was fired by Terror's team. This actually frustrates the Taros landing expedition since they still don't know where those aramon bastards are. And some soldiers, even though they know it's not safe run back to landing craft where they just came from, blind of fear.

Terror, satisfactioned by the damage he did knows however that the battle is far from over. Perhaps 20% of the landing team is dead, they still outnumber Terror's team at least 6 to 1. Those landing crafts had many more soldiers than Terror feared and he called for a strategic retreat. Slowly move back to the APC and head back for the HQ.

Terror yelling to make him somewhat understandable under the noice of all the explosions and screaming: AS LONG AS THEY HAVE NOT SPOTTED US, NOONE FIRES! ONCE THEY FOUND US, SLOWLY MOVE BACK AND RETURN FIRE. WHEN YOU'VE REACHED THE APC QUICKLY ENTER IT. I WILL DRIVE US HOME. CHRISTIAN AND JONES, YOU TAKE THE TANK. AND TRY TO DO AS MUCH DAMAGE AS POSSIBLE WHEN WE MOVE OUT!

30 meters before Terror's team reached the APC they were spotted and Taros soldiers, because of the numerous casualties they suffered wanted vengeance and charged in full of fury. Terror unfortunately suffered 6 losses on his team before they could move out. Now only 15 men were left. There was no time to take the dead bodies with them and they had to be left there. The APC and the tank quickly rushed out though and fired a couple of rounds before they were out of range, killing a couple more of the landing troops.
