Helstorm Rocket Battery Goes Brrr

that one to the wall here and today we've got a seven-year disaster battle that will happen over the interim so we're playing as Ryland and chaos is going to attack these three armies here it's going to be a three army versus three army fight which versus chaos as rockland is actually really difficult to deal with because enemy reinforcements that are sorry any reinforcements that are like missile units are probably gonna be in a bad position I can have time to set them up so having fought this kind of battle before I can certainly see how it would be a troublesome fight for this guideway sent it in even though the balance of power will be about even tactically speaking they've kind of got you by the balls there generally speaking when dealing with chaos you want to isolate their armies and just go at them with either two of your armies versus one of this basically this you never want to fight more than two armies of chaos at a time ideally unless you're in like a defensive city and you don't really have a choice even if we denied enemy reinforcements they're still gonna be a problem because they're they're warriors aren't gonna let us get into position that's probably the biggest problem with with our forces so we do have a little bit of movement left what we can do is rearrange our forces to expect the worst and so that we could not have our our missile units come in as late reinforcements and essentially not be very useful now this guy he doesn't have any movement okay so basically if volkmar is the one that's probably going to get attacked we got a lot of he'll storm rocket batteries here that needs to go into volca mars army ideally now we could essentially attack this guy right here but i'm gonna you shouldn't you shouldn't be in this position here like this is clearly owned by Skaven I don't know it's too late whatever um could you could bail behind okay whatever I was asserted I'm just thinking out loud there okay so we go think about what order do we want to bring this tribute in because we can't just put like all hellstorm rocket batteries in the first army because then don't just get to us and roll us over so we need to have something to hold the enemy back at least a little bit so the empire captain's the stuff will be quite useful for that ok here we gonna get I'm gonna put this guy in force March yeah I'm gonna put him in force March because I need him to drag him over and he's gonna transfer all of these into 4th Mars army take out all the Mele infantry it's way too many guns in here okay so there's if some of those guns back okay now volkmar can't move that's okay see these guys will come in before them make sure he doesn't get attacked because that would be very bad but stay within volkmar sphere of influence all right he still comes in his reinforcements okay hopefully they don't go for him because that could be a giant mess all right now for this guy here it's just for the battle is just for the battle I know it might seem stupid but we need to make sure that these pills don't rocket batteries are there at the start okay I know that looks stupid but basically by doing this our reinforcements will be a lot easier to manage ah [ __ ] I forgot to put them in there as well well they'll come in pretty soon as all right how lmmortal of any of these all right the two empire captains are immortal and so is that one so I need to put a footnote under this guy and this one okay that'll let me know that basically don't sacrifice them but these guys here no withdrawing for them they got a standard fight okay cuz I don't want to lose your important characters for whatever reason and at least you know I'll get you through this I'll try to alright so hopefully they don't go for this guy here cuz that would suck cuz reinforcements to be coming from all over the place of even worse and we're gonna make sure that our reinforcements are coming in from our rear and that they're close together we don't want them coming in from different locations okay let's see how this goes could very easily have made this worse it just depends on what Kaos decides to do now all right it's still going for volkmar which is exactly what we wanted all right so yeah I've seen what happens if you ought to resolve this valiant defeat so can't have that we have to we have to actually win put that on volkema for sure all right okay okay so here's what we want to do with this definitely don't want to control a large army and you might be thinking but what's gonna protect your artillery the heroes here's what we're gonna do and it might seem really stupid we're going to try to just obliterate this first army with artillery and hopefully actually defeat the first one right just use up all of our ammo and then withdraw all of these guys with just withdraw them and then we bring in the reinforcements it'll be mostly merely infantry but we should still see some of the Gunners because we do have the option to with fraud that's why we didn't want the other guy on forced march to get attacked now I'm not saying this is like the perfect strategy ever but I'm making the best of a bad situation here because I've never no never really done something like this before I usually don't keep three armies together as the Empire to go up against chaos hell I don't usually deal with the chaos as the Empire really because I just don't Confederate that far I like kislev auslan Dan Oster Marc deal with it then once chaos is over then I go you know smack him out that's even if I get to that point in the campaign I've usually more or less won the campaign by turn 100 anyway okay this this is this is workable the terrains not perfect we'll need to stay as far back as possible so that we can make an easy getaway for our guys all right yeah okay so put these two together so that I those are the two not immortal dudes hey I know it looks stupid but it might work it might work this is kind of interesting my urine okay actually thank you let's do control groups no take that one out so the flying goon squad I'll just have to keep a note of a based on their names all right so no reinforcements will come in at the start basically what I want to try and do is just delay as many of their forces possible I'm not sure how I'm gonna go bad legs do not don't have any like wizards just stand back still a little bit and you look go over there I may have made a mistake by doing that I should have had them turned around the star cuz yeah we just wanted to get just a little bit far back because we got to get rid of the hill cannon for sure all right here we go yeah I probably shouldn't have done that I just want to make sure they're as close to here as possible because they probably need to make quick getaway all right you three go over there take out the hello cannon move fast because they also need them to bleed because we get a definite defend the artillery oh [ __ ] why'd you land you immortal oh my god the not immortal guy landed [ __ ] me done goofed I mean this is good for delaying them yeah break just get out of it same thing with you there'd be to have him land so she doesn't die doesn't matter that much cuz and at the end of the day he's just delaying them words a hard you know which is all we really need to delay them like I said it might seem stupid but it's working yeah I might have actually gotten him killed sorry you're so fat we're like obliterating their first few forces promise I just can't get him out so that one there is immortal it's not that big of a deal and it's been good he's delaying them this one here I can't control him anymore hopefully they just give up trying to kill him but I don't think they're going to it's not that high level but still I didn't mean to oh hang on he's not dead he's actually gonna get away he just shut it at all I know he got he got wiped out but he's not dead all right now I need you to get over here and try and save save him all right we got some reinforcements good bring him in because okay these two over here which one's not immortal this one here get over here and the other ones over here come on he's not dead yet we might've actually got him out it depends on it depends on there not yet do not let him go away book miles going down pretty fast yeah they do not want to let him get away there oh hang on I got 33 Hills left he got away don't worry if he gets wounded all right yeah you leave the battlefield you're done good job you get the [ __ ] out of there [Music] this is kind of working it's kind of working like the first time he's pretty badly damaged he stopped taking out specific targets now how are we going here yeah you're gonna need to leave the battle suit Wes volkmar bulk my absolutely should not get wounded this guy here fights to the death because he's immortal because you'll need a break after this anyway sure okay it's time for you to leave the battlefield they can't let him leave all right this one here is not immortal he's got a girl all right well be good if we can kill the enemy general but it's not essential we should still have a few more heroes left to go all right once our ammos spent hang out try to hold off now we've essentially beaten the first time at yeah you're not leaving the battlefield did you remodel oh you know what just fifty health left is go huh voc must be pulled over feels good [Music] all right I definitely spent way more on the ambos and I probably should have but I kind of expected to have withdrawn by now which is why it wasn't really being too picky on what we were shooting all right stop okay you're out of ammo leave these guys over here just don't want to go down that's so Kay all right you get over here yeah kennen's offload their ammo a lot slower then he'll store more competitors all right enemy generals left the battlefield bouncer pass not now favor that's okay so I would say the first army we essentially won it's more of a it's kind of a trade-off I don't know the thing is we just need to make use of all of these artillery because they're so useless in the late battle when they would otherwise show up kiss top seven leave all right now when the guns start coming in we're probably going to want to hold on to this position here still got a few shots left for us all right all the all the non immortal heroes are so much sure about those other ones it's okay it was only the beginning of the army look really have to worry about so one of them did get wiped out but he's only wounded so it's okay so therefore we just try to get a little bit more organized which is fine so second phase of this battle should basically just be loads of halberdiers and Gunners I won't even be that many Gunners because of how many million per tree gotten the other armies but we'll see here we go we're just get organized they're still getting set up as well and the great thing here is that all the whole storm rocket battery is able to leave no damage because they've offloaded all their ammo they didn't do a tremendous amount of damage but it was a better trade-off which is kind of what I was hoping for you know their Army's gone our Army's gone except their armies destroyed our armies instead of out of Alabama that's all assuming we win this next fight but even if we lose you know there won't be a tapper sewers so from a strategic point of view we won because their armies dead and our army just left cuz out of ammo get that ammo back but if we do lose 10% of them or roughly we'll get to I captured be somewhat sparing with the last of the summer kind of wish I hadn't been so wasteful with it in the first place where we really needed to just obliterate that first army without any discretion just [ __ ] annihilate them okay I'm inside of mo after you go [Music] not much ammo left so we've done a fair bit of damage into their Phase two forces and we're still using our phase 1 stuff and you know face phase 2 is coming in phase 2 is it for us is all Mele infantry which is not good we need some of our phase 3 staff which is loads and loads of Gunners can't hope to beat these guys with help it is no way in hell [Music] because we need good terrain for the Gunners as well the slope here will work pretty well for them but if we fight up here that they're not gonna be able to shoot properly so touchy leave yeah way too many million pantry here see it'd be good if they were just bringing in all their cavalry right now but that's not what they're bringing in but all of their leadership is go on all of their heroes and lords all gone now and we've still got some of ours today we don't have any magic that would've been really handy but yeah it is what it is you got a couple of good abilities out here [Music] yeah maybe didn't adequately protect them there but they've only got a few shots left so not that big of a deal so okay just getting to leave now all right now we just gotta wait for some guns to show up it's gonna be a bit of a I don't know what its gonna be here we'll see at least we've got some guys to help boost their stats that'll help since they don't have any magic or anything here - we'll be better off to blob all right let's get a little bit organized okay priests there what's disability do [Music] she came enemy okay there we got more coming in she'll be okay for the moment just a big mellow slog though which isn't ideal the warrior priests are really going to come in handy here yes a big mail a slog today we don't have wind of death all right those are the two Griffin units I think yeah keep them together this empire captain has got nothing special about him bulk miles getting shredded he needs to get out [Music] he's totally stuck there [Music] [Applause] let them go get over here okay volkmar is gonna get out this guy here should be okay doesn't matter if he leaves the battlefield but he's got a useful ability for us as well but this guy here I want him for the rest of this battle for sure he's really good all right you're really dangerously close to dying all right so volkmar no more fighting you just stay there he's no more regen for him and you move it those battle pros gonna be really useful but pretty soon we're gonna start seeing more dangerous units come in and I really don't need the Gunners for that so as DS okay this one he is nearly wiped out let's get it off the battlefield because we need some Gunners to come here we just go way too many help it is it's working all right at the moment but we gotta prepare for that wave three I don't want this guy to leave you [Music] [Music] wouldn't actually be the end of the world to have bulk Martha Graham leave the battlefield so that another unit can come in because will they take a temporary morale penalty but I only do that do that as a last resort okay you got to leave the battlefield so when they start getting pretty badly damaged get them off thanks to the warrior priests our hell buddy is actually doing a pretty damn good job [Music] yeah his only purpose analysis is to give hammer of Sigma okay we must be seeing some Gunners come in soon all right you're pretty badly damaged you can leave to battle try to keep all of our guys together thanks to the warrior priest it'll make them ton stronger all right here he comes the guns here we go now we're gonna start dishing out a good amount of damage just gotta watch out for things like chariots if ever look at that their line of sight is gonna be terrible and then yes they're gonna really struggle for shooting them go to get rid of the chariots [Music] okay this one here is getting pretty badly damaged someone there as well just get those guys off the battlefield [Music] okay good there that's that's definitely not good so happy let's go with that all right they go on too much damage done there can you turn a wrench they're not gonna be able to shoot at that angle get down here [Applause] yeah go get these guys off the battlefield wasn't paying much attention to them more Gunners will come in the biggest woman that one's coming in from over here I feel like we're it waved three of their forces and we're definitely at Wave 3 for us so it's going to all come down to this year now you may leave all right how about this one here Eskimos the battlefield you can move her here really focus down on their cavalry their infantry aren't that big of a concern are they [ __ ] come back [Music] well then I'm coming back now they've been wiped out all right who else needs to leave the battlefield this one he has pretty badly damaged get him off need some more Gunners [Music] all right help this guy out here so that they can safely go up the battlefield they shouldn't be wiped out not in this unit scale yeah these warrior priests are doing great for us keep them locked in melee combat so don't go after the Gunners you should be getting some more Gunners come in soon keep these warrior priests in here trained to fight ok you're gonna leave the battlefield you're done good shattered they give you she this guy's doing well here's a really taking much damage at all a little bit obstructed give a bit of a boost yeah take that that's good good more guns coming in that's what we need bring them in all right this unit here is pretty badly damaged let's get it out so it doesn't get worked out all right so now what are these okay so now we're gonna be dealing with a lot of cavalry coming in okay this one here is pretty badly damaged as well we really need we need the help it is now the games are standing fight for Gunners should be okay because they're not really charging at us too crazily [Music] [Music] okay come some nights she had a [ __ ] out of them good these chariots didn't count for much which is exactly what we want [Music] we've still got plenty of reinforcements but if these cavalry get to our reinforcement positions it's gonna be really bad for us what's going on over here [Music] good annihilated them good good this is what we want to have happen just have them come at us in waves and just annoy at the mess they come [Music] definitely don't think it would have worked doing this from the start we needed to use the artillery first the handgun is a part of the last stage of the plan our reinforcements okay this one's coming from the other spot bringing over see they're trying to get over here make sure he doesn't get killed not Studio C army lost penalty that is being cowards so as some of our Gunners start running out of ammo the Haas has done amazingly well there we go there's the army loss penalty go go go and yeah the only real damage is to the male infantry into the heroes the missile units apart from this one here essentially took no damage alright we've also got he'll store held counters coming in so they need to be dealt with how we're gonna handle this we're gonna get rid of them Kesava if you just go rush at them you're gonna take a loads of casualties if I send this guy any that might work maybe I'll send these to him look I send him in Ohio we got a kill spot I just fly over he said all right I'll do my best to get this guy and hopefully he's immortal but there's only one he'll cannon at the moment this one there's chaos born I'm just gonna get an island as soon as they get over here yeah be good if we had a fire wizard I can use fireball just a few fireballs get rid of Hell cannons of course I probably wouldn't have any magic left over by now yeah I'm gonna need you to just keep that delayed just it's a hundred damage per hit all right we're gonna go for it oh it's more than that come on you gonna make it okay good good you'll be fine from that [Music] spoon is the target okay that's going pretty well yep just have him take those cows boy that's fine [Music] and then it's justice all right there we go close Victor eight maybe that's fine the damage isn't too bad though yeah one of the heroes got wounded but he's immortal image made sure it made note of us and yeah the artillery is just fine their armies are obliterated and that was the only unit that got wiped out really any replenishment in enemy territory anyway seems like ask Avenue you won and yeah he was wounded good thing we made a note of who was immortal and who wasn't we thought I nearly got one of the nine immortal dudes killed I would I would probably recommend assert their independence because you probably need their help and I can't even see where they eyes that them down there I don't know what you want to do with this you can just use them as an influence farm cuz you go to get the other guys yeah that's them down there is that is that all they have yeah okay well you could Confederate them in another twenty turn so there's there's no value on that one settlement alright let's have a look at these things so yeah the dudes wounded he'll be back in four turns though these guys are in terrible shape but you could you could clean up the rest of these no problem I think one of their omelets got wiped out and its entirety unless it's hidden over here somewhere went before smash yeah you'll definitely wanna real organize these forces but yeah the key to this battle here was understanding the order in which reinforcements come in we knew that we did definitely did not want the hill storm rocket batteries coming in when all their cavalry were coming in because that just wasn't going to be useful so had them all started offload all their ammo and then bring bring the halberdiers and gun in it would have been nice if it could have been like alternating between help it is and Kona's coming into us like half and half but that just isn't the way the reinforcements go but it worked out in the end no units got wiped out except for that hero but he's he'll be back anyway that's into this one guy so if you enjoyed it i've been learnt something and i'll see you next time [ __ ]
