We didn't have one yet so screw it welcome to ye olde RP thread.
On that note, everyone knows the Marines are currently not in Pelicans right? Kill and his platoon were a special case but at this point my battalion is operating at like, quarter strength. It's getting a tad ridiculous.

Yes 4th and 5th company are taking Warthogs, I was talking to Kill, but he never got back to me. Do you guys need me to make a map and show where all of the companies and battalions are located?

Uh, if you are talking about Kill's ground mission. It is a UNSC Unit Mission thread. This should be renamed to UNSC Unit Mission OOC (Ground). Or something similar, as to not confuse the two.

...No, because you can post here for the other missions too. Not like we need to split them up.

The three Unit Missions? My main concern is that Mission 7 OOC Thread is a bit confusing/misleading, as Mission 7 has not yet been released. A tad nit picky, due to the fact that the UNIT Missions explain why Mission 7 will eventually happen, even though the three cover completely different roleplays.

There is no Mission 7 yet.
I will create the proper threads for the OOC.

As for the Marines, Wax and I's platoons (1/7, A Co.) are the only ones MIA from the battle BUT both should be nearing or deploying momentarily. Simple as that, really. Also, this Unit Mission are not a Main Mission.

Hello everyone,
I have read nearly every post in the Seventh Marines Mission thread, and I have to say I am still lost. I understand the situation vaguely for the Seventh, however as far as the ODST go they have no mission. We know that they are supposed to be attacking behind enemy lines, but attacking what? In Frazer's post we saw the drop, but all that seems to be happening at the moment is forming a CP behind enemy lines. Unless the drop was supposed to be undetected, which seems unlikely given the all out battles being waged, they would have a mission to immediately execute upon reaching groundside. It seems highly unlikely that a regimental commander would deploy his most elite assets without providing them a very specific mission.
My point is, I am sure that our story masters have developed a plot for the ODST, but maybe just haven't given us the details yet. I don't want any spoilers, but if we could get something that vaguely resembles an OPORD I would appreciate it.
Thanks!

The town isn't behind enemy lines, not yet at least. The town that First Battalion is attempting to secure is along the lines and deemed a strategical asset. My Colonel deployed the ODSTs with the thought they'd hit from behind but Frazer and I wanted to be a bit more dramatic and had a large portion of the ODSTs killed before or on impact.
The objective is to secure that town. Plain and simple. With only two platoons of regular marines on location, with a mere Grizzly and a dozen Warthogs, the ODSTs were deployed to strengthen the UNSC Military strength in that specific location. Orders are the same for the ODSTs as they are for First Battalion.
Secure the town.

I don't know about the rest of the ODST chars, but mine is going to be SUPER pissed at Colonel Killinger. No offense to you Kill, lol.

Move forward with Wax when he pushes, or wait for Jakob to do something. Those are the available Lieutenant's a highlighted in yellow.

I originally thought that Second and Third Platoons were on the outskirts of the town waiting for Combat Engineers to arrive, to help bridge the gaps left by the aerial bombardment, and were providing cover for Fourth Platoon's advance. First Platoon was inside the town, meeting up to help the ODSTs of the 153rd Company. I could be mistaken, but for the time being 2nd and 3rd Platoon's on the outskirts of the town.

Alright I am rolling some ideas around here to try and sort this out...
- If the city is occupied by a Brigade sized element, it seems unlikely that 2 platoons are going to even make a dent in the enemies defensive line...
- Kill Junior and his company have maneuvered around the city to rescue 153, but the Covenant should be well aware of this movement and reacting accordingly.
- With a concentration of forces inside the city, it seems it would be easy for the Covenant to send an adequate element to engage Kill Juniors company. Especially since they were obviously already sending forces to neutralize the 153.
- Counting the assets listed available, the Covenant currently have unhindered air superiority and armor advantage. Especially toward the rear of the city where the 153 are located with Kill Junior.
- Without any air support (I know its supposed to be on its way, but the Covenant have adequate AA anyway) or heavy armor supporting us, it would seem that even a small element of Covenant heavy armor or air support would have a field day on the 153 and company.
Anyway, there seems to bit quite a bit of confusion... I am trying to get an idea of what things are going to be looking like on the ground for the 153 and company before my next post. Cause from what I can tell, unless the Battalion REALLY engages the Covenant on the front and forces them to commit resources, then the 153 and Alpha Co. are dead.

There's two or so Scorpions with 2nd and 3rd company, and a squadron of Vultures is going to begin bombing whenever Kill writes it in.

Hey, Saint. I'll reply in a yellow marker to your Alright I am rolling some ideas around here to try and sort this out... - If the city is occupied by a Brigade sized element, it seems unlikely that 2 platoons are going to even make a dent in the enemies defensive line... It's unknown for now, but it wasn't supposed to be a great big battle. UNSC Forces, from what I had originally planned, were supposed to overwhelm the Covenant. That being said, I'd say there's about two companies worth of Covenant in the town. That being said, it is a town with a population of 1, 000. It's not overly big.- Kill Junior and his company have maneuvered around the city to rescue 153, but the Covenant should be well aware of this movement and reacting accordingly. Platoon, and they will. I couldn't post an entire battle after communicating with the ODSTs. - With a concentration of forces inside the city, it seems it would be easy for the Covenant to send an adequate element to engage Kill Juniors company. Especially since they were obviously already sending forces to neutralize the 153. Kill Jr. has 13 Warhogs with him, and that's it. Each Warthog had two people, minus his own as he was passenger. The Company I think you're mistaken with is Cabel's, who is regrouping by the Grizzly tank.- Counting the assets listed available, the Covenant currently have unhindered air superiority and armor advantage. Especially toward the rear of the city where the 153 are located with Kill Junior. The assets aren't all in one area. This isn't a battle for a city, it's a battle for a small down between a small Covenant group and a Marine Regiment. The assets are spread across a 10+ KM line.- Without any air support (I know its supposed to be on its way, but the Covenant have adequate AA anyway) or heavy armor supporting us, it would seem that even a small element of Covenant heavy armor or air support would have a field day on the 153 and company. In the area, a small areal battle is taking place between UNSC Air Force and Covenant. Two Vultures are inbound and will be fairly uncontested. As of now, there are no anti-aircraft artillery pieces in the town.Anyway, there seems to bit quite a bit of confusion... I am trying to get an idea of what things are going to be looking like on the ground for the 153 and company before my next post. Cause from what I can tell, unless the Battalion REALLY engages the Covenant on the front and forces them to commit resources, then the 153 and Alpha Co. are dead. So, just to clear this up... First Battalion is attacking a town, not a city, and that town isn't very big. The Covenant strength, while unknown to only Frazer, Dave and myself, isn't more than the Battalion. The assets are spread across a massive line and the local assets include the aircraft, ground vehicles, Marines and ODSTs mention in the posts. Those assets that have been mentioned are roughly fifty 'Hogs, about ten pelicans, two vultures (Inbound), a battalion (1, 000 Marines) and a Company of ODSTs (150-ish). |

THANK YOU KILL, I now understand wtf is going on. LOL. Everything makes SO much more sense. And that being the case, I think our ODST would be feeling a little less pressure than I had originally anticipated. We actually should be holding out decently until Kill Junior arrives.
Awesome! Thanks, should have my post up tomorrow then.

Alright, I have one more Question before I write up a post, Where are the 53rd at right now, are we at the Battalion CP with Col. Kill and Jakob's Major, on the Iowa waiting deployment, or inroute to the town right now.
