@Jbcool I've got a post in progress, should be up tonight.

@Tenlock I'll take your word for it, I guess...

Just so you don't have to;

@Tenlock That just makes me angry, and I'm not even a senior NCO. XD

@Sarpedon Hey, if you'd made a squad of Space Kanooks, you'd be fine...but you didn't, so deal with it.

Oh, and they're not the second wave - they're the second half of the first wave. The second wave are still waiting in reserve, well out of harms way.

@Jbcool

The 3003rd are all space kanooks though...

And no one told Felix what the hell was going on, so he's just assuming this is the second wave and they need to make do with what they have now.

@Sarpedon

Oh, yea, it was Agent B52 who based his geezers off of the Dutch. My mistake.

Anyway, you treat your SPESS CANADEEANS as you like, and everyne else - in this 41st Millennium space army - can do as they like; once we all get amalgamated, then you can get pissed off in-character. :D

Out of curiousity, you a fan of The Devil's Brigade?

@Jbcool All good.

Yeah, there's going to be a lot of IC rage at that point XD

Are you talking like, the American-Canadian unit from like WW2? or like, the RCR? Or like something else that I don't know about?

@Sarpedon

More the film, really; as a Canadian who seems to be pretty down with the militare I assumed you would have seen it.

@Jbcool

Nope, never heard of it.

That drill was appalling, those musicians are fired, and WHERE'S THE SERGEANT MAJOR?!?! No one lets officers call drill just for that reason.

That being said, I fucking love bagpipes. And shitty actors aside, that's about how the RCR do things, waaay too much pomp and ceremony. The 3003rd are more like the PPCLI.

@Sarpedon

If you didn't like bagpipes, I'd have to dislike you; as it is, we can be friends...oh, and my regiment happens to have some too.

@Jbcool I don't know anyone that doesn't like bagpipes

Fear not, one and everyone, I shall be getting an update in tomorrow; we shall move forward, and the foul Xenos shall be ground into dust, or drown in our blood.

For the Emp-er-or!

http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Imperial_Guard_Terms I think everyone here will find this at least a bit helpful.

@Catchphrase@Andromedai@Lord Coake@Vahir@Sarpedon@agentmanatee@Bright_Ops@Agent B52@Tenlock

So, the low-down thus far;

Everyone has taken casualties, some more than others, but now the order has been given by HQ for all regiments that are able to converge upon the central-most point of the city, the Cathedral. It is in the centre of the hab-district, and there are four large roads leading to it; there are currently the 'wandering' platoons of Tushiena holding it, but everyone should get there eventually.

If you wish to fight your way through the Orks, get ambushed or the like, then that's perfectly fine, as long as you get there in the end.

@Vahir, please post something, anything, to either contribute to this RP or to inform me of why you've not posted again; as I have consistently stated, I do not mind as long as you tell me!

That goes for you too, @Catchphrase, do not come into my thread and then disappear, please...it really pisses me off.

@Andromedai I'm going to assume you're no longer interested in this and scratch you from the role.

I'm guilty of it myself at times, but I'm trying my best to keep this RP together, for both myself and the participants.

Right, that just about covers everything, I'll be getting the Second Wave in as soon as everyone gets to the cathedral, and then we'll head toward the end-game and a new chapter in our little roleplay.

As always, please do ask if you have any questions. Thank you.

@Jbcool

I'm still here. Just waiting for the GM post to tell us to go forwards.

@Jbcool Working on it. Last night didn't go so well...

@Bright_Ops That's exactly what I both told you, and that I have written in the last post. Now get forward! Don't need me to hold your hand, you're in the Guard, dammit.

Also, let me make this crystal clear to everyone; you won't be posting for a bit and have a reason(s)? That's fine. If that is the case, please inform me. If you start just buggering off for 4+ days without posting and without telling me you're going to be absent, I shall puppet your character and kill them off in terrible, terrible ways.

I hope everyone understands, and I really hope I don't need to start doing this either...

@Vahir, I'm especially talking to you; your last post was sixteen days ago, and I can see that you've been on RPG numerous times. So, please either post this weekend (doesn't even need to be a long one), as I still need to know that you're both alive/interested in staying with this RP.

@Jbcool Tonight was a shitshow. No posts from me. But it's at the top of the list tomorrow morning.

Good morning, everybody :) In true Guard fashion I'm here (having gotten GM permission) to help fill in the ranks of absent players. I shall have my character sheet up over the weekend, and look forward to joining you all!
