Galactic Republic VS Blood Pact Assault in Urban Warfare.
Hey yall, I realized how much of a catastrophically unfair stomp that last scenario was so uhh whoopsies. I'll try to keep it interesting with this one being more fair.
Context: A Republic held system during the Clone Wars was suddenly hit with a barrage of incredibly weird stellar phenomena like Hyperspace drives glitching out more often, sudden flashes of what has been described as purple lightning by ship crews when looking out into space and a weird spike in violent crime on the one permanently populated planet in this system and its capital/only really major city, Voterdam.
Because of the strange phenomena, the planets own local militias were already put on high alert and started reinforcing Voterdam while also sort of getting involved with the Republic at large, requesting for a Clone Army Garrison to be placed in Voterdam itself and help them with policing the planet.
Yeah everything kinda changed when the Blood Pact ended up appearing in this planets own atmosphere and did a purposeful crash onto the world in their own transport vessels. Basically they commandered a few Imperial merchant ships to invade a world, warp shenanigans ensued and they ended up in another galaxy but are gonna take up the opprotunity to plunder.
Pretty quickly most of the sparsely populated planet came under Blood Pact control with the last main Republic area on it being Voterdam itself, preparing for a huge Blood Pact assault on it with all they've got.
While the Blood Pact initially wanted to besiege the city rather then jump straight into the fire, the commander for this force was a rather zealous man of Khorne and ordered an immediate attack.
Galactic Republic Forces
Voterdam itself has a population of around 190,000 residents if that'll end up being useful.
Out of this population, approximetly 23,900 of them were Planetary Militants, Security etc. Standard issue armament for them involved A280 Blaster Rifles, DH-17 Blaster Pistols and basic grenades paired with them having set up multiple armed checkpoints and guntowers across the city equipped with E-Web repeating blasters with them having a moderate vehicle fleet of converted civilian vehicles like XJ-6 Airspeeders equipped with their own E-Web blasters and their own "Crews" having small arms, mostly blaster rifles but in rare cases slugthrowers. Some AT-TE grade heavy lasers were also mounted/"Grafted" pretty much on the roofs or windows of high rises and important buildings to act as heavy support.
With the rising anomalous activity that happened around this system, a Clone Trooper Garrison of 7,100 was moved onto this planet to help reinforce the city and assist local forces. Armament includes DC-15 Blaster Rifles, RPS-6 Rocket Launchers (a lot of which were handed out to local militants), mounted E-Web blasters of their own across rooftops and assisting in checkpoints paired with Thermal Detonator grenades and a small fleet of 10 LA-AT Gunships.
Republic Forces are gonna try and use stuff like the urban environment to the best of their capabilities paired with anti tank ambushes if need be. And if the battle starts heavily turning against their favor the defenders are gonna start giving out blasters and rocket launchers like candy to anyone in the city who wants to fight.
Blood Pact Invaders
Around 39,500 Blood Pact Soldiers are invading Voterdam, the bulk of them being Ex-Imperial Guardsmen. Armament involves standard issue Lasguns, heavy Autoguns, Frag Grenades and for the rather zealous soldiers, jagged machetes. Heavier weapons include stuff like Heavy Stubbers, a few Lascannons and a moderate amount of flamers for regular infantry.
Armored vehicles for them involve a specialized vanguard force of 210 Mars Pattern Chimera APCs and moving alongside certain frontline infantry units there are 45 Anti Infantry Stalk Tanks equipped with either mounted/remote controlled Lasguns or Flamers.
If things really start turning against them, they'll just start taking captured civilians from the rest of the planet (around 9,000 people got captured), fill their bodies full of drugs, replace the outside of their ears with speakers loudly playing Khornate prayers, graft blades to their arms and send them into the city to act as cannon fodder. They formulated this whole extra plan because they originally just planned on raiding a few Imperial Agri Worlds without much defenses and will improvise if need be.
Republic Forces are willing and actively plan on using urban guerilla warfare if the battle turns against them as well.
Who wins and to what degree?
