Author Topic: Jade Falcon Bloodline campaign (Read 22221 times)

Johnny 'NKH' Leyland · « **on:** 26 January 2011, 19:31:03 »

There was topic about this campaign before but it was disrupted by the Blackout. Now the forums are back up, I have collated my ideas and decided on a campaign theme. Players interested, post to say so! My times to play are evenings 8pm to 12pm EST. (Btw, if anyone knows a good IRC channel we can use, drop me a line. )

The theme of the campaign is this: you play a succession of Warriors from one Bloodline of your choice through all the notable historical periods of the Jade Falcons, which I will call 'arcs'. You play the Falcons, I (and maybe others) play their opponents. Each historical arc will have between one and four battles on average. Once an arc is completed there will be a time jump to the Jade Falcons' next major point of interest on the timeline, where your characters will be a new group from the same Bloodline, often direct genetic descendants of your last characters. Success in battle means your characters get to have their superior genes included in the breeding program, bringing prestige to their descendants. Failiure in battle brings shame on later spawn of the Bloodheritage. How you perform in a historical arc will directly affect the skills and equipment of their gene-relatives in the next arc.

This won't be a campaign with lots of gritty accounting. Salvage will only play a very limited role, sometimes non-existant in the shorter arcs. You won't have to consider money, technical personel or logistics.

Player forces will tend towards being smaller rather than large. Each player has a main character and gets some ancilliary characters to fill out the formation. The exact numbers will depend on how many players there are, but look at sharing a Binary or Trinary, perhaps even as small as a Star + support shared between players (you will likely have highly skilled Clan pilots so the BV of your forces will be sky-high anyway :D). The exact unit types and models used will be a mix of units set by me and units chosen by the players. For Bloodlines you can choose any Bloodname belonging to the 40 founding members of Clan Jade Falcon, it doesn't have to be an exclusive Bloodname.

When I have enough players here I'll get you to pick your Bloodline and set out the details of the first arc (it will be Operation KLONDIKE of course! And yes, someone can pick Elizabeth Hazen if they want).

Hello gents, those Bloodnames are fine and the day we'll play on will be arranged according to what fits the majority of people interested. I can play almost any evening if I have prior notice.

Tolan and BPRoberts, can you post the times you are available to play please? I can't go ahead with anything else until I know which of us can get onto a server at the same time. :)

Also, I'm considering running a second campaign playing on Friday nights, a campaign based around Clan Ghost Bear. I know Mekslayer was interested in that Clan. The reason is that I don't really want to make Friday nights as the night everyone would have to play the Falcon campaign because it's a sure-fire recipe for no-shows, since a lot of people like going out on Fridays (those people who have a life, unlike my good self :D). Running two campaigns isn't really much harder than running just one so it's not a problem for me. To be clear, the Jade Falcon campaign has priority and I'll be running that no matter what, but if anyone is interested in playing a Ghost Bear campaign on Friday nights as well, post here to let me know. If you want to play in both Falcon and Bear campaigns, that would be no problem. I would probably run a different kind of campaign for the Bears, likely a Jihad-era campaign using the Warchest system.

Edit: OK, Mekslayer has said he's on for both campaigns, so I'll run both. No more Bear stuff on this thread though. PM me if you have interest. This thread is just for the Falcon campaign, it'll get messy if both are discussed together.

Tolan · « **Reply #14 on:** 28 January 2011, 20:44:51 »

Weekends Are best pretty much wide open . Thru the week I "could" do 8-12 EST with enough notice.

Johnny 'NKH' Leyland · « **Reply #15 on:** 29 January 2011, 00:04:09 »

I've got another player who will join, he is interested in the Jae-Hyouk name.

As things stand, force break-down will be roughly a shared Binary. You'll all get one main character (the founder member of the Bloodname you chose) and you can pick their unit. Other members of the Binary and attached auxilliaries will be picked by me and divided up between players.

You can take any Star League unit available to the Clans, and that includes Royal variants. (Bear in mind that the opposing forces will be balanced against your force, so taking Thunderhawks won't make life any easier for you than taking Hussars. This is so you can feel free to take whatever you like and not have to worry that you'll be screwed if you don't pick something hardcore. Also, your force is likely to face a variety of challenges so flexibility is a good thing to think about too.)

- Daniel Mattlov was a Mechwarrior during Operation KLONDIKE and must take a mech.

- Carl Icaza was an infantry commander. You take 4 Infantry Points (one is commanded by Icaza) of any kind available at the time, plus transport if desired. You'll get to control a mech or two as well, don't worry. :D

- Aeneas Pryde was most likely a Mechwarrior.

- Koji Malthus, Irina Folkner and Mathieu Jae-Hyouk are characters I don't have details for, they can take any unit type used by the Clans. If in doubt, take a 'mech, they were the most common arm by far.

As bblaney said, we're starting in the Operation Klondike period and Elementals don't exist yet. You pick 4 conventional Infantry Points of any mix of types you like (jump, foot, motorized or mechanized, with any weapon type), plus enough transport assets to move them around if you want. I'll give you at least one minor character 'mech in addition to the infantry, you won't be stuck with just PBIs.

We'll thrash that out as soon as I've got the starting set-up stuff done and everyone's checked back with their unit choice for their main character. If that can be done over the next couple of days then I'm looking at playing the first game on Tuesday night, 9.30pm to 11.30pm EST or thereabouts. I'll try to arrange games on a week-by-week basis rather than have one regular night for all of them, but we'll see how it goes.

Good deal

From what I read of the Operation: Klondike book, all the clanners are considered Clan Elites, are you doing the same for it?

Just makes us INSANELY accurate.

Guess we'll definitely be outnumbered, but prob not even skilled (mostly)

I'll be going with 2/2 for player characters in Klondike, and minor character skills will be scattered around that ballpark. I may toss in weather conditions and dawn/dusk for some battles too, which could effectively mean 3/3 pilots.

1/2 is considered the Clan Elite standard and I do want to stick close to the canon, but when it comes down to it, BT pilot and gunnery skills are just numbers, and besides there's a lot more to being Elite than shooting and driving well. Elite represents experience and tactical smarts too. So your guys are Elite, but 2/2 gunner and piloting.

What kind of opposition are we looking at in terms of general 'Mech forces and experience level for our first engagement? Stuff like numbers, general pilot quality, willingness to fight for objectives, tech level in the case of 'Mechs, and if possible a general weight statement along the orders of "Light/Medium/Heavy/Assault centric."

its not the best BA, but the Nighthawk PA(L) was a Star League design and could of been used by the earliest Clan forces?

You'll be fighting several different Pentagon Powers over the course of the arc, and I won't be giving the players any more intel than the Falcons themselves had, which was limited.

What I can tell you is that the Pentagon Powers operate former SLDF equipment, and the more powerful factions maintain it to a high standard. Personel are often ex-SLDF veterans. They're defending their own turf so they are likely to put up a stiff resistance to invaders.

Your first opponent will be the Sarbat Khanate, a powerful chauvanistic faction that holds sway over several lesser groups as well. If bested in open country they are likely to retreat into their capital city, the taking of which is one of your Clan's objectives.

Thursday is better, I'm done by 8:30 PM.

Friday is best, but I can't vouch for non-scheduled things like going out on the town getting in the way. Honestly though, this day probably works best, especially if we can start at about 6.

BPRoberts · « **Reply #34 on:** 31 January 2011, 10:25:53 »

Alright, I guess I'll just run 4 Nighthawk XXIs with the standard Mauser rifle. If I need some extra punch can I swap in SRMs between missions? For transport I think I'll take Maultiers, which will require 2 per point if I'm doing the math right.

Friday is not going to be possible for this campaign because I'll be running another on that day regularly. Also any time before 8.30 isn't possible for me.

MM doesn't have any option other than automatic rifles, but if you build an .mtf file for SRMs then you can use that.

Transport: Each squad of 4 troopers takes up 4 tons of cargo space, so you need a vehicle that has at least that because the rules don't allow us to split squads between transports. The Maultier only has 3 tons, but the basic Heavy APCs (Wheeled, Tracked or Hover) all have 6 tons so those will work. The Heavy Hover APC is the closest thing to a Maultier, it's slightly slower but has better armor, and rather than a streak2 it has a pair of machine guns.

ARC 1 : Operation KLONDIKE

Mission 1: Blood and Sand

The Jade Falcons are one of four Clans assigned to liberate the Pentagon world of Eden from the tyrant states that currently claim her. The Jade Falcons have recently come into contact with hostile forces from the Sarbat Khanate, a powerful chauvanistic empire with considerable military strength. Believing that Clan Jade Falcon's small numbers are their weakness, the Khanate launched an all out assault on the Falcon coastal cantonment. One portion of the Jade Falcons held the line and poured fire into the charging enemy ranks, buying time for their flanking force to move out from where they were concealed in the deep water and strike deep into the Khanate formation.

[Your Star and supporting elements are the end of the Jade Falcon defensive line nearest to the coast.]

Deployment:

Clan Jade Falcon - all forces deploy within 3 hexes of the south edge
Sarbat Khanate - all forces deploy within 3 hexes of the north edge, reinforcements enter from the north

Primary Objectives
- Hold The Line: (750 Prestige)
Hold off the Khanate forces for 12 turns so that the Falcon flanking force can get into position to strike.

Secondary Objectives:
- Eye Gouge: (250 Prestige)
Destroy the building on the North-East islet being used as a forward OP by the Khanate forces

BTW, prestige will come into play later. I don't want to flood you guys with rules and stats so don't worry about that for now, I'll post up what Prestige does after this battle.

Need to download their Mekwars client and take it from there

Johnny 'NKH' Leyland · « **Reply #58 on:** 01 February 2011, 21:59:41 »

Wait, it's a Mekwars campaign? That means we'll be playing in their campaign though, right?

Scotty · « **Reply #59 on:** 01 February 2011, 22:00:06 »

Can we avoid a download please? I'm tight on bandwidth, and anything would take forever.

so where are we going now?

Yes it is a campaign, but they also run other campaigns on the server.

I play in a 3062 game on there (RPG) on Wed evening

Alright, I'll look into the Shack. It's not practical to use it right now though, so for now, is there anyone willing to step up and see if they can host a server for us?

McSlayer · « **Reply #63 on:** 01 February 2011, 22:07:31 »

OK I sugggest we sound off on which versions we all have.

there are a few 34.9, 35.19, and 35.17 servers available if we all have those versions...

Can we sound off on versions we have

I have 34.9 and can get the others easily enough

Johnny 'NKH' Leyland · « **Reply #65 on:** 01 February 2011, 22:08:56 »

I can get those versions but some may lack the mechs we need.

Scotty · « **Reply #66 on:** 01 February 2011, 22:09:32 »

Only .35s, but I've got .15, .17, and .19-.21

McSlayer · « **Reply #67 on:** 01 February 2011, 22:11:31 »

OK lets go here:

skyhigh.getmyip.com

2418

it is a 35.17 server.

I am in there now.

Let me know if there are other problems.

McSlayer · « **Reply #69 on:** 02 February 2011, 18:51:12 »

So hopefully we can all be there ans I can find a proxy for our one guest...

Johnny 'NKH' Leyland · « **Reply #70 on:** 02 February 2011, 18:52:04 »

Yep, same time next week, if everyone can make it.

Scotty · « **Reply #71 on:** 08 February 2011, 13:57:12 »

Okay, tonight again at 9 (Central)?

Johnny 'NKH' Leyland · « **Reply #72 on:** 08 February 2011, 20:57:31 »

Let's see who's here first - sound off if you're a player and ready to play tonight.

here and waiting.

Finally back at the dorm, ready to go.

Johnny 'NKH' Leyland · « **Reply #76 on:** 08 February 2011, 22:05:36 »

It's getting late and we won't be able to start for another 10 mins at least (one guy is away till then), so I'm going to postpone the game.

I think I'd like to start over anyway, last week was a bad start with all that server chasing. We had a guy drop out and one temp player so the current save would need a load of proxies to finish anyway, and I don't like not having access to all the custom stuff I want to use that I have on my own server. I can host games now that I've configured my router properly.

So if you three guys are still interested in the campaign, I'll start over completely fresh on a day that's good for everyone. If you're good this week, post a day, otherwise Tuesday 9.30 next week.

Scotty · « **Reply #77 on:** 08 February 2011, 22:08:35 »

Can it not be a Tuesday? I can do Wednesdays from here to the end of time, but Tuesdays are a pain in the ass to make it back and forth between dorm, student union, classes and stuff in time for these games.

That said, aside from the already-evident Wednesday, I can do Thursday after 8:30 PM (one less thing to do that day than Tuesdays), and almost all-day for the entire weekend (Friday/Saturday/Sunday).

McSlayer · « **Reply #78 on:** 08 February 2011, 22:21:34 »

I can only do Tues Thurs and Fri at those times.
