I am reposting from the last unsaved thread. Feel free to chime in as you arrive, new posts will be incoming shortly.
--
You are Second Lieutenant CT-42/458, and you are standing in General Kenobi's improvised command center, the basement of an obsolete concrete bunker. Six hours ago AT-TE 7330, the hastily repaired TX-130, and the remainder of the General's forces began the mop up operation of the B-1 battle droid stragglers. Afterwards, a relief force mostly consisting of Loyalist infantry arrived and began the search for survivors as well as taking over the garrison of the location, allowing for Kenobi and your two tanks to retreat back to the main base of Republic operations in the southern hemisphere, Shelter Base.
You have just finished providing your debrief of the battle, which you learned was for the control of the city of Jaxx. You informed him and Commander Cody of all aspects of the battle excluding the discussion with Xtreme concerning Sparks going "off the reservation," Twitch's "marketplace," and other minor details about your first 24 hours in combat. You reexplained the encounter with the lightsaber user in more detail; bringing up Crusader's sword fight with him when the General expressed his disbelief that mere clones were able to defeat a force user. Your report was concise, professional, and above all, utterly exhausting.
You are now standing at attention in a musty, poorly lit concrete room before the General, who is leaning on his hands at the edge of a battered holographic gambling table. On the table is an old paper map of the area, the table deactivated due to the number of fellow troopers running setting up a generator in the corner, running power lines, setting up better lighting and doing everything else to create a proper command center.

Fatigue clings to your muscles and you feel yourself struggle to maintain a stiff posture, though a small part of you is glad to see that the General is sagging with weariness. He rubs his eyes.
"Being caught unprepared by a Separatist attack, by a full division no less, facing nuclear weapons, all with an understrength battalion? It sounds like you had quite the day, Lieutenant, and I'm surprised that you were able to not only survive but successfully repel their assault." Kenobi says before slowly standing back upright. He crosses one arm across his chest and rests a hand on his chin before continuing, "Though unfortunately we suffered severe losses. I am afraid that I may have to label the 4th Battalion as unfit for duty and fold the remaining soldiers into another outfit."
Cody cuts in for the first time. "General, you know the Senate will be breathing down your throat about casualties if you declare the 4th Battalion defunct."
The General sighs, pinching his nose with two fingers. "Yes, I know Commander, but what would you have me do? Reinforcements are spread thin as it is across the Outer Rim!" Kenobi slams his hand down on the edge of the old table, causing you to flinch back. You stay staunchly silent in the discussion.
"The few reinforcements we would receive will be cut off due to the Senate's outrage at the news that a whole battalion was killed nearly to a man on the first day of an invasion, sir." Despite his overly stiff posture and balled fists. Cody does his best to maintain a professional tone.
Kenobi shakes his head, gesturing with his free hand as he speaks. "I am well aware of the situation Commander, I just do not see a way out of it. The chain of command for the 4th Battalion has been completely destroyed, and I can't rightfully send raw enlisted into battles without good officers."
"Sir, not all the officers were lost." Cody turns his attention towards you, nodding his head.

"I see an officer who has proved himself in battle right here."
As the General turns to face you, you cannot halt the anxiety from boiling in your gut. Nor can you halt the sliver of excitement as well; in response you subtly straighten your posture.
"You are right, he did lead the defense against the final Separatist assault, and held off an entire battalion with only his walker and Bandit's scout company." After a thoughtful pause, Kenobi whips his head back towards Cody with an incredulous expression. "You are not suggesting we hand over control of the whole battalion to him?"
Cody shakes his head. You hear a gruff chuckle emit from his helmet. "No sir, but stranger things have happened in this war. Until a replacement is comes in from Kamino, CT-42/458 is technically the commanding officer of the 1st Armored Company, and his leadership quotient is high, according to the reports we received from the training instructors." Pride wells up inside of you. You did graduate top of your birthing cycle, after all. "The 4th Battalion can still live on in name, though it would have to work closely with one of the other battalions in future operations." Cody gives you a sidelong look and tilts his head slightly to the side. Though you cannot see, you get the feeling that he just winked at you.
"Well, it is true that a shipment of replacements is arriving in a week," Kenobi says slowly while stroking his beard. You feel uncomfortable at the glint in his eyes. "And while I normally would be concerned about the company's ability to field armor, the repairs on the damaged vehicles are going swimmingly, though sadly not all can be saved. Also, we have to establish the chain of command for the incoming officers." Like a predator locking onto their prey, Obi-Wan Kenobi's eyes lock with yours. You really do not lik-

Dude who was working on Brets, High Elves, and Lizardmen for Blood Bowl Team Manager here, need ideas on star players
Tonight is a double feature night.
After Animeted Clothing and Pharaos of Funk killed each other on the pitch (There will probably some waiting time because of all the blood on there)
We have Quickslithers dukeing it out with the Bretonnian Werewolf in Tilea.
The coach of the Werewolf's said that he has a nasty surprise for his opponent.
So... are you not just supposed to play with AI teams when starting out? I mean at Medium Difficulty their players already have 16SPP and learned skills.

Lance 2 has a serious overdependence on Medium Lasers and SRMs. Lance 3, meanwhile, has too much ranged firepower and too little point-blank. I dunno how a fight between the two would turn out, but it'd certainly be a mess.
Lance 4 has the problem that all SW lances with the Banshee-S has: the Banshee carries the entire lance. Without it, the remaining lance is junk and gets eaten up by any of the other lances minus their assault. Unsure how I'd fix it, but I definitely wouldn't want that lance.
Too much math edition.

I always thought it was not really possible to have a monster that could challenge modern military fire teams directly without nonsense like force fields or outright invisibility.
Then I saw this abomination.

Monster Hunters is all about challenging a party of 400+ point murder machines.
Even for those guys a Chryssalid-Xenomorph hybrid is a bit of a scare, though they really slowed down their reproduction cycle. I'd be quite tempted to ramp it back up.

You decide to keep your reply concise:
“Life on the Pearl has been interesting. The crew and I are acclimating just fine. I’ve charted several routes in the Expanse that should bring House Girad both status and contracts. I’ll send them along next time I’m in port. Nothing else of note thus far.”
You then encrypt your message using one of the standard House ciphers and pass it along to the Pearl’s Astropathic Choir. With...

“Gentlemen, we have a bit of a mystery on our hands,” he says. “I’ll let Forgal explain.”
Forgal stands up and joins Hillbrant at the screen. The feeds change to show the surface of the dark blue planet. It’s a textbook Death World landscape: jet-black rocky outcroppings, violent plasma storms, and an inhospitable atmosphere. Every once and awhile a discharge from a storm causes the feeds to be taken over by static.
++Sensors indicate that the surface should not contain life,++ Forgal begins. ++Or that what life there is largely lives underground.++
“Right, that’s to be expected,” interjects Ruhr. “Or are you about to tell us some giant sandworms live there?”
++No. Something much more interesting.++
One of the servo-skulls’ cameras zooms in on a rock wall. At first you’re not sure what you’re supposed to be seeing. Then your eye catches an unnatural corner. And another. Soon after you’re able to pick out what looks to be a small town or village carved into the rock face.
“Oh my,” Yen whispers from behind you.
++Yes. There appears to be an indigenous population. Or that there used to be one. It’s hard to tell with the interference from the storms.++
“So, naturally, we get to go play detective and possibly archeologist,” says Ruhr. “Sounds like fun.”
“Speak for yourself,” counters Darell. “You forget we’ll be cooped up in void suits the entire time.”
Hillbrant chips in, “Yes, well, precisely because of that I wouldn’t think any less of anyone if they wanted to sit this one out. Just remember though - you forfeit any claim over whatever loot we dig up if you do.”
There’s a moment of silence as everyone looks around at everyone else.
