Strike Force Stats & Info:

• This Strike Force requires a 4-person team to start & I will set it to No Temp Powers (which includes Veteran Reward Powers) & 0 Defeats
• 9 missions (4 talks)
• Badge(s): Arbiter & Master of the 5th Column Strike Force for No Deaths/No Temp Powers (no guarantees :smirk: )
• Merit Reward: 30
• Please note, this SF ends after the final Recluse Talk (not after the Reichsman mission)
• I may run a Master of Dr Kahn TF following if there is enough interest since these are the weekly strike targets

• General Instructions: Stick together, listen to instructions & do not be afraid to offer your opinion on strategy!
• Mission One: Clear the ambushes in the end room (before going out to Ms Liberty).
• Mission Two: Pull Numina out of the room to be cautious.
• Mission Three: Talk
• Mission Four: Fight the specified mobs/ambushes. Use the Ouro portals or the Flyer to exit after Invincible Reichsman spawns - the mission will time-out without anyone in
• Mission Five: Stick together & clear until the key drops - doing so around the dig area is best since the door is there.
• Mission Six: Talk
• Mission Seven: Talk
• Mission Eight - Part One: While this mission is not so much hard, there are a lot of chances for deaths to occur. First clear out all of the 5th Column & take care of any ambushes that occur when one of the AVs is rescued. Sac the AV, find the next AV, take out the ambush, etc.
• Mission Eight - Part Two: Grab your temp powers & don't be afraid to use them - you can recharge them (all except the Fail Safe Guns -4 uses- which only Stalkers can use). Stalkers gain Max Stealth to enter the two gun rooms to nuke the ambushes, Corruptors/Dominators have attack/holds for the ambushes, Brutes/Veats gain a team End Drain resistance power, MMs can keep Reichsman from phasing.
• Mission Eight - Part Three: We will be using the tunnel method. Reichsman will not leave the end room, so exiting into the tunnels when the ambushes start will keep them confined in a small area, making it easier for us to take them out safely. Everyone stay close & keep buffs/heals/debuffs running.
• Mission Nine: Talk (Remember the SF completes after this talk, not after Reichsman is defeated)
• Obviously this is still a work in progress.

I'll be there with Cowgirl Christy Dark/Thug MM.

Count me in! I'll bring Lady Sakiya, she's an ice/ice dominator who still needs the badge.

I'll be on General Damos on this one.

I'd like to bring my F/K..Akarah the Hunter

I'll have a better idea around 6pm tomorrow night if I can do this. I may be putting my office back together from scratch...

Looks like mh HD crashed - trying to repair it now, if I can't get it going, I may need to cancel for tonight - as I doubt I'll be able to install a new drive in time. CoH constantly crashes my laptop - too frustrating to try a Master of... attempt on.

I'll know more as soon as this scan finishes.

OK - looks like I am up & running.

Doing some additional tests right now, but I think it is safe to say:


Just a reminder...

Well my office is in pieces. Window installers going quickly but will finish around 2 o'clock. Then I gotta put all my stuff back together. Joy.

I'll be there, I have never ran this TF so ill be hiding behind E lol

Not feeling well tonight, please take Lady Sakiya off the list. Sorry I'm missing this. Good luck!

Well, we had a successful run last night, but someone didn't listen to instructions & quit out after Reichs went down...so only seven of us got the Master of... badge & rewards...
