>>5634917>>5634562>>5634517Canoness Malin dispatches her Palatines to their assignments and the Sororitas battleforce roars into action.
Engines rumble as the Castigator Battle Tanks descend from the highway and spread out in formation on the edges of the plaza. Palatine Rosaline quickly begins spreading out her infantry as they move along the edges of the urban perimeter to surround the fortress. Palatine Velna and Palatine Morweg affix jump packs and soar up into the air, joining the other Seraphim and Zephyrim atop the urban buildings and preparing to give their all to smash the Styrians' heavy lascannon turrets.
The inhabitants of the eight Penitent Engines groan and wail as their servos whirr and flame belches from their engines, the gruesome walkers preparing to move with the Repentia right behind them, the ten women babbling prayers to the Emperor as they grip their evicerators and Hospitallers drip blessed oils over their scarred bodies, clad in scraps of wax-fused parchment. From across the Demi-Segmentum the Order has answered the call to this Crusade, and these Repentia gathered from distant convents are not known to Malin nor are the transgressions or shame that drove them to their oath. But she knows that they are her Sisters, and they will not falter.
"For the Emperor!" Canoness Malin raises her power maul high and signals the assault.
Please roll:
>1d100 for Heavy Support suppressing the wall defences. Target 75 + 10 (Shen) = 85.>1d100 for Light Support purging the lascannon bastions. Target 70. Additional +5 if wall defences are suppressed.>1d100 for Jump Infantry targeting the lascannon bastions. Target 40 + 10 (Velna) + 10 (Morweg) = 60. Additional +20 if wall defences are suppressed.>1d100 for Penitents Assaulting the Gate. Target 50. Additional +40 if wall defences are suppressed.Aiming to roll under the targets. The thresholds take into account Malin's rear command and the infantry forming a skirmishing pattern.
If your roll is a double (ie 33, 55, 77 etc) then the Palatine involved (if any) has struck misfortune.
More degrees of success will enhance performance or even allow one section to achieve additional goals. Degrees of success/failure will impact casualties. Failure to eliminate the lascannons will cause vehicle losses to mount which could break suppression of the walls, leading to a cascade failure. Nevertheless if each section successfully plays their part in Malin's combined-arms offensive you can shatter the Styrian stronghold hard and fast, before substantial losses mount amongst the skirmishing infantry.
