Greetings,

As may on you know, I am working on updating the fluff for Ammoriss based on the information found in the "Tale of..." thread. I read through all of the fluff there and composed this list of units actively engaged int eh Battle for Ammoriss. Take a look and let me know who and what I missed. Note, I freely made up the numbers, so correct me if you think I should. I also tried to note a few bits and pieces of general information.

This list is in the style of the Battle for Armaggeddon/13th Black Crusade forces engaged list found here: http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Armageddon_Imperial_Forces

You might want to bump the Regiment numbers up to believable levels :D. 5 is about the same size as a BCT which is normally the basis for an IG Corps.

Not to be an idiot, but what is a BCT?


Here were my Assumptions:
I was under the impression that an IG Regiment could have up to 10 Companies of 5 platoons of up to 5 squads not including support elements. That means an IG regiment is roughly 3,000 to 5,000 men (with support). That gives Ammoriss a PDF force of about 300,000 combatants (Not including aircraft and navy).

If for everyone 1 combatant you need 10 logistics people, that brings the Ammoriss PDF alone to 3 million men, and that's just the Army side of things. If we included Aircraft, Space Defense, and Naval units we are getting closer to 6 Million men at the start of the war. These numbers are just PDF and do not include other forces.

However, I see that means only .25% of the population of 26 Billion is under arms at the start of the war. It looks like I may need to make a boost here and there.

Thanks for the corrections. That is why I posted this here. I skimmed the fluff in the Tale of Thread, but I knew I would miss stuff.

I have updated the post and my saved copy.

Please, let me know if I messed up anything else.

So would you say Soul Drinkers 5 Squads and Imperial Fists 5 Squads?

You appear to have missed out the three companies of the Swords of Retribution who are operating as a trouble shooting force. Also, the Amerian 19th Armoured Brigade are in on it. Finally, its spelt Baikour :P and if you want a nickname, they're the Angel Guard.

Dave out.

instead of 5 squads and 5 squads say half a company each, because in my head i had it as the soul drinkers providing the power armour / tanks, with the fists supplying the termies, and the others.

You forgot the 2nd Panzer Division, supported by the 9th Panzergrenadier Division with elements of the Panzerjaeger 12th Division of the 9th Henshel Regiment.

BCT=Brigade Combat Team. Made of multiple battalions of different types to provide a big combined arms force.

In the Siege of Vraks they have things like Line and Assault Korps, and so on. It is just a more realistic way that Forge World present IG Army Deployments. If you want to do a TO&E similar to the IA's, PM me an I will try to help put, if you want my help of course :D .

Sorry, I just figured out that these guys are all from Henshel. However, are the divisions smaller components of the Regiment? Are they Company sized or larger? The nomenclature of Division within the Regiment is confusing to me.

Edit: Updated with other previous info.

Double Edit: Just to note, if your army did not have any "fluff" or Battle Reports that named them, they are probably not on the list. If you just painted them up and want them on the Ammoriss Roster post now!

Just to be awkward; Most of my army was painted was tanks as well as some infantry. I imagined that the 45th Marovian Regiment of Foot deployed entirely with armoured support from the 662nd Marovian Dragoons.

The only slight thing I would say is that of my 2 characters, Kaelthron would have gone straight to Ammoriss, with Yrenna dispatched to Sigilis Tertia, so perhaps the reference should go next to her?

Easy - for sake of ease i will refer to all unit organisations in english with tau in brackets :P Coalition(Shan'al Fir'te represents all of the tau forces committed to the pelthran system and then on to the ammoriss system.

The groups deployed in active duty are:
Fire caste contingent (Shas'Tio've) Ammoriss - 5 Cadres
Air caste contingent (Kor'Tio've) Ammoriss - 3 Cadres

So essentially all ive done is denoted a higher command structure than cadres :)
If you want to throw in any references then reference the Pelthran System, Pelthran 5, Ksi'm'yen(home planet)
thanks for the edit :)
