Corkman - Jan is trying to change Hank's action on the basis that Kessler has ordered for an illumination flare to be launched and Tosh is complying. If Hank is still going forward please post accordingly and I'll have Jan warn everyone over the radio.

Ta,

Andy

No problem.  He wasn't leaving the trench until Jan called him going out but, that's not a problem.  I'll add to post to reflect yours.

I'm away this weekend so next turn won't be until Monday evening.

Fuse,

Are any of these people visible to either Tosh or Jan?

In particular the people at the improvised APC and the figure in the lane who is periodically turning and firing?

Thanks,

Andy

Yes (just obscured).

In reply to Fusilier (msg # 49):

Thanks. So is that area fire or just firing normally but at a penalty?

Penalty, one level more difficult. Area is when you can't see the target at all, you just know that it's around there, hits are based more on luck/volume than skill.

Superb - thanks for clarifying.

I'm kinda swamped with RT stuff (mostly work) at the minute. I'll try and keep up with stuff as best as I can but expect delays.

Is it likely that I can link a fresh [50] round belt to the current/partial [30] round belt in the PKM since there's no box/drum?

Dave,

Just in case you missed it earlier, Tosh reported over the radio that he could see the startings of a fire in the garage area.

Ta,

Andy

In reply to David 'Tosh' Lines (msg # 55):

Yeah sorry, I missed that. I didn’t go any further back the the last turn post.

I don’t think it affects Kessler’s plan to move to that general area though. If I get a chance I’ll add something to Kessler’s post to mention it to Kaminski  but that won’t be until later when I get to a proper keyboard  (am on a phone right now).

OK, I put a quick edit into msg 906 re the fire.

I misread #48 and answered only for Tosh.

Czerny can't see them because they are on the lane behind the truck, so there is no LOS.

Understood - I'll include a "previously" section in my turn post that covers Jan moving to the CP. The CP is the disabled BTR-60 where Hank just collected a bucked of ammo for the PKM isn't it? That's what is says on the map but I just want to double check.

Ta,

Andy

Correct.

In reply to Varis Babicevs (msg # 60):

Thanks.

Fuse - is the illum flare still burning?

Ta,

Andy

Yes.

Fuse, sorry to bug you with another question (and thanks, in advance). Is the fire in the garage bright enough that Tosh can see the unkowns on the embankment behind it?

I'm not trying to metagame here (Per knows all of this IC, so this should be fair game).

I want one of either Tosh or Per to cover the embankment and the other to shoot up the boat. Per has night vision, but Tosh does not. If Tosh can see the people on the embankment, Per could engage the boat without illum. If not, Per needs to follow orders and stay on the unknowns.

A third option is that someone puts illum over the river when the boat is within range. Then Tosh can see it and hammer it with the Gimpy.

Thoughts?

No problem, they're valid questions.

No, the fire doesn't illuminate the people up on the road.

I'm on my phone but a glance at the map makes me think Lines might be able to see the boat at its nearest point to the compound, without illum. That's because it's a vehicle, not a person, so it's easier to see. Illum would be more ideal of course (see below), but just throwing this out so you know all of your options.

Without illum: Target obscured (from snow) and under the effect of darkness (one range band further)
Illum: Target obscured (from snow)

Thanks, that helps.

Follow up- when you get a chance, will you please mark where on the road the unknowns are (according to Per's sighting)? That will help me decide which corner to post Varis at.

Quick update on Jose's post. He's going to swing Lobo's pintle mount north and await the boat. Once he sees it, he's going to open up with the M2.

Fuse,

Please can I check that I'm reading the current turn post correctly. The fire at Kessler and Varis, am I correct that it came from the outside of the compound wall to the west southwest (about 8 o'clock) of their position? I'm meaning the point on the map with the label:

4? Enemy (No LOS)
An unknown number of enemy were spread out along 12-15m of the wall with some on it and some behind.

Hit by GPMG area fire.

Essentially the area that Tosh was wildly spraying with area fire previously?

Also my understanding is that Jan is now at the BTR-60 Emplacement (it still lists him as in the trench on the map).

Ta,

Andy
