Why, thank you :)

Just seemed to me, we have no quarrel with anyone down here, we just want to nail the Combine varmints who absconded with Simon. So why brawl unless we have to?

I'm back.  Wow, hadn't realized how many emails/IMs/and posting I got in two days.  Makes you wonder if you'll ever catch up.

I am assuming that future gen. NVGs (in DL: HoE) are advanced enough that bright lights no longer blind you, unless it's a strobe. For the purpose of the game if you follow Schaeffer's instructions (which is still valid when applied to modern NVGs) you will not be penalised any actions for taking them on or off in this circumstance. That is, it's in effect a free action and you don't need to post this one way or another.

Are we rolling initiative or just shooting rolls? lol

I posted a map of the situation. Have a look! (While your ID number is behind the SUVs your PCs are really colocated.)

Good point, here's what we'll do:

1) Make Initiative rolls. The Trogs are running and some might throw stuff but you will get a few actions at least to attack (and number of actions are dependent on an Init roll).

2) Either change your post to be more specific on a target (or make a new post).

3) If no specific target is assigned then I'll randomly assign one for you!

Aw, Jane, honey, we're colocated! =)

Edited post to indicate firing at the trogs closest on the left side first.

Hey honey...I thought we had co-habitated...didn't know about colocated.  But look...We have a chaperone (Rowan)  :)

Since Peter is taking the left side, Jane will take the right side and shoot at the closest troggs on the right.

The lip of the loading bay platform (all around) is 6 ft or 2m. I reposted the original map that had the measurements on it.

Re: OOC: Off-Topic Posts III

Sorry, should we go ahead and roll shooting and damage rolls as well? I wasn't sure if it was just initiative since you said we would get actions as the trogs get up to us.

6 ft is actually 1.83 m but who is counting. Give or take.

Re: OOC: Off-Topic Posts III

So. If I'm reading the map right, there's a trog about 3 yards away from the top of the ladder, right? Am I right in assuming that there's no line of sight from the Col. current position to the trog?
And how many actions to get up the ladder?

On a side note, I'm 1.97m tall. Trust me , I know the difference between 6' and 2m ;)

Re: OOC: Off-Topic Posts III

In reply to COL Kurt L. Schaeffer (msg # 963):

1) Yes, we'll say that the closest trog is 3 yards away.

2) He can see the trog if he stands up, or be out of sight if he crouches down.

3) Speaking as someone who uses Metric and Imperial measurements on a daily basis (being Canadian, we are stuck midway between the two systems) I say there is effectively no difference between 2m and 2 yards, unless you are carrying a metre or yardstick or tape measure. In other words, it's mainly not important.

Ha ha! That's the problem with an international gaming group. There's not always a shared frame of reference even for something as fundamental as distance and measurements.

I see most of you have gotten your Initiative and shooting rolls done. Great! Still waiting on Jason's roll to-hit. Vundra's player hasn't checked in for a little while.

Today I'm doing stuff for my wife's birthday, but I will have a combat post up soon. If Jason and Vundra haven't had a post by then I will NPC them.
