Re: Boots on the ground

Kitty brought up the rear to make sure everyone was moving as they should, and to move to anyone should things go horribly south.

OOC:  Today: Sgt Kitty Summers rolled 21 using 1d100. RCN 50.

Do you see what I see?

In reply to Sgt Kitty Summers (msg # 105):

The three NATO soldiers headed to the north, staying in the stand of trees that was 50-100m to the west of the north-south road. To their front, some 1-3 story house/shop-type buildings which fronted up to the east-west major artery that was 12. To 2Lt Winters, it seemed as if a house or two on the western edge of the intersection might serve as a place to lay down supressive fire on the enemy position they were scouting. As they were about 100m from the intersection where Spc Henderson has shot up a Soviet jeep, Sgt Summers could hear engine noises and activity behind her.

From her vantage point in the treeline, she could see that the three small trucks the crew of the Crooklyn had just shot up were part of a larger signals detachment. They were currently moving to scout an intersection to their immediate front. At another intersection 400-600m to the SSW, which seemed to be just north of Bridge 7, another two 469s were parked on either side of the road as some sort of enemy IFV grouping, possibly a mech infantry platoon was temporarily stopped en route by the signals troops.

Re: Do you see what I see?

Sgt Summers moved up to talk to the Lt.  In a hushed by urgent voice she relayed what she had seen, "Sir, there's a much larger element to our rear, and to the South South West, including an I-F-V.  We might have more than a couple of soft signal troops."  She would let the officer make the decision, but she was certain she made her point as Winters was not an idiot.

Re: Do you see what I see?

Winters took a knee as he listened to the SF NCO relay her findings, he let out a quiet but heated curse, "F**k!" He had taken on more than they could handle.  He was losing site of his objective, they needed to get the hell out of Dodge more than they needed to make any tactical impact, as sure as hell he had no idea of the strategic aspect at this point.  He keyed his mic to talk to Henderson, "Cease Fire, Cease Fire.  We got a sizeable enemy force, let's move into a hide position and link-up to get out of the AO."

Re: Do you see what I see?

In reply to 2Lt Jack Winters (msg # 108):

Under continued observation, the Soviet BMPs held up by the signals troops continued to sit in the middle of the road. Although none of the NATO troops could hear what they were saying, it seemed that the element commander was not pleased he had to wait, and the commander of the signals troops seemed to wave his little red flag angrily at the other man, showing that he was the boss.

OOC: Are the dismounts heading back to the Crook, staying put, or is the Crook coming to them?

Winters' little failed raid was disappointing as he waved for the dismount element to move back to the Crooklyn to mount up and get the f**k out of there.

Wagons North

In reply to 2Lt Jack Winters (msg # 110):

By the time the three troops made it back inside the Crooklyn, the Soviet BMPs had begun moving again and were heading north...along a road they were only 50-100m from. From their position in the trees, 2Lt Winters knew that they had a good chance of staying put and trying not to be seen or moving out and taking the chance that they would be spotted. As always, there were plenty of options, although which one was the best for the moment was anyone's guess.

OOC:

Jackie Chan I know it seems like I'm gunning for ya balls, mate, but I will say that as a GM I don't 'punish' my players for wrong answers, so please understand that my desire to keep your head down is in part the f'ing die roller and another part the feel of Escape From Kalisz, which is kinda the whole point.

If it makes you feel better, your characters get extra points for you not being an NSA operative, if that makes you feel any better! :)

Re: Wagons North

Winters ordered everyone to practice noise discipline as they held in place in the hopes that the larger force would bypass them and they could be on their merry little way.  He kicked himself internally for getting all gung-ho.  They were truly on their own now, and he had to keep them all alive.  For what he wasn't sure, but he had to at least give them the room and time to think about what the hell they would be living for now.

Indecision decision

In reply to 2Lt Jack Winters (msg # 112):

2Lt Jack Winters watched as the five BMP-1 IFVs, led by a 469 and having a BRDM2 as 'tail end charlie', rolled right past his position. Getting to the intersection of the e-w main artery of 12 and the smaller n-s road they just came north on, the convoy halted as what probably was the element commander got out of the 469 and looked around, first east and then west.

Map in hand, he went around to the driver's side and began pointing at the surrounding terrain and then 'consulting' the driver, which in Slavic terms meant a lot of shouting and shrugging. After a couple of heated words inaudible from the position of the Crook, the commander got back in the front passenger side and the 469 turned right, leading the convoy east on 12, away from the A Co M2 and her crew.

OOC: Had a hard time deciding to let that one go that long. Obviously, Jack would have had the opportunity to engage during any of the above. If you choose to do so, please post so and I will amend.

Re: Indecision decision

Winters decided discretion was the better part of valor at this moment and let the larger force bypass without engaging.  He just hoped the last victims of their engagement wouldn't alert the larger force to their presence.  With the enemy out of sight, it was time to move on east.

Re: Indecision decision

In reply to 2Lt Jack Winters (msg # 114):

Jack Winters watched in disbelief as the Soviets medium armored column raced by the three trucks Henderson had shot up just a few minutes before. They didn't stop or slow down, and the survivors 2Lt Winters knew were out there somewhere didn't try to stand up and contact these troops.

Suddenly, it occurred to Winters that the enemy was not this well disciplinep, joined force but a series of smaller sub units all acting on orders with little consideration for developing battlefield situations. The young officer knew that exploiting this was the small force's only chance at survival.

Now they were heading east on a road that he wanted to go down. As he had come from the west, going that way meant he would be retracing his steps and turning south would take him towards the bridge the Soviet IFVs had just come across.

Re: Indecision decision

As far as Jack could tell, east and perhaps northeast would take them out of the city and perhaps somewhere to hide in the woods to rest and figure out what to do next.

Sure enough, 2Lt Winters could see on the left side of the road a man in all black, maybe mid-30s, as he waved to the A Co M2 to get their attention.

Re: PJ party

Winters didn't know how the locals were aligned, and he had a mind to keep going and ignore the man, but something told him to stop.  Whether it was curiosity or some sense of noble obligation to assist civilians, he told Henderson to come to a slow stop, "Henderson, rolling stop, no less than 100 meters from our hitchhiker. And see if we can scare up a defilade or concealment at least."  He hoped he wasn't stopping in a kill zone, but he wanted to see what this man wanted without putting himself in some known spot for the ambush that may or may not come.

When they stopped he would get on the external speaker, "Sir, state your business."  While training the coax on him.

one word answers

In reply to 2Lt Jack Winters (msg # 121):

The man in black seemed in more of a hurry than afraid of the young mech inf officer atop the Crooklyn. 2Lt Winters [Private to 2Lt Jack Winters: still pink dressed :)] could see the man had no weapons and no military equipment with him.

"Please....please..." he hissed in poor English heavily accented with Polish. As he motioned for the M2 to get off the main drag, 2Lt Winters could now see that there were a couple other men who were the same age or younger dressed the same as the first but hiding in an attempt not to obscure themselves from the M2 but from the Soviet convoy that had just passed.

Re: one word answers

Jack cursed to himself seeing the other men in the woods.  Although they did not present an immediate threat he was not about to let his guard down as he scanned and hissed to the others, "Keep an eye out."  He turned his attentions back to the man and his men after a quick scan, "Przystanek! What is the matter?"

In reply to 2Lt Jack Winters (msg # 123):

"My Chef...my chef" the Pole said, pointing to the grassy 'alleyway' that led to the north. "Please, you come this way".

OOC: 2Lt Winters sees NO weapons of any kind in the immediate area and the Poles he does see are more interested/scared in the Soviet column that just passed than the Americans in the Crook.

Re: one word answers

Winters shook his head in the negative, "NIe.  You need to explain.  What do you mean 'chef'?"  Of course he knew the man was probably trying to say 'chief', but he very well could be talking about his cook.  He glances back into the Crooklyn for a moment, "Who the fuck speaks Polish?"  He should've known, but there were other taskings that had priority other than figuring out the linguistics proficiency of his crew, plus there were a few new guys that might have some skill.

KItty pipes up, "I know some Russian sir, maybe they can speak some too?" Or it could very well be worse than their English as in nil, but it might be worth a shot.  No pun intended.
