Thirty seconds later CW3 Novak was still laughing as the Hind A transitioned IGE/OGE. The farmers' bodies lay right were The Haircut dropped them south of their farm as the pilot brought the big helicopter around in an ascending clockwise pedal turn.

In reply to Niewiele Dupek (msg # 102):

"OK, ok...time to go back to work you two" Gaby said, visibly relaxed and smiling as she pointed the Soviet helicopter south after they flew a couple hundred meters east of Little Lions. "You saw how it went last time, so I think maybe someone else should decide how we crack this nut. We've only got twenty mike-mike ammo for a few more farmers, so I don't have to say how badly we need those five sevens."

OOC: OK  you've got the Google map, so you can plan a detailed attack or...not. The Hind A can approach from any compass direction at any speed. Whether it drops off The Haircut or has a combined Mustache/Haircut attack, or they attack from the air and if so how are up to the player(s). The cabin doors are currently closed but the top door(they split horizontally not vertically) can be opened from the inside, allowing deplaning, shooting, or mooning. The Hind really is a versatile aircraft. 

"I say we put this thing down near Ostrów and get some pussy," Barr said.

This is what it always came down to with Gavin Barr.

"If this fuck-stick is any indication," Barr said, pointing to Loverboy in the back of the Hind, "these guys at the base have some major sexual repression issues they are working through.  I say we steal a vehicle, find some girls who want to make cash, and drive them to the base.  They get out, entering the boys and we use the distraction to get some ammo."  Gavin shrugged.  He didn't know how much of a plan it was, but he'd certainly be distracted by it.

[Private to Niewiele Dupek: Might be an alternate route to bring in Winter's alternate.  Because we will need someone to pose as the 'madam'.]

In reply to 1LT Gavin Barr (msg # 104):

"Interesting interpretation, Lieutenant" Novak said, turning the helicopter and increasing speed. "I nabbed this guy as he was dancing around listening to music while he was doing service checks on his helicopter before he laid out in the sun today. Funny how life has little surprises for us all."

The helicopter slowed, and she kicked left rudder pedal, bringing the bird's nose around.

"Fact is, we're and Europe and that..." she said, nodding her head to indicate Loverboy in the back, "...is probably heterosexual, which speaks volumes as to why the birthrate here is so low."

The wheels of the big poorly-made helicopter touched down so hard, Barr's hairy insect on his upper lip almost jumped off his face in fright. "Edwards....sick 'em."

In reply to CW3 Gabriela Novak (msg # 105):

CW3 Novak's gamble paid off. The ground troops did not in fact shoot at her this time as she came in at a different angle. It seemed that some enemy commander somewhere had ordered anything valuable removed in response to her theft and subsequent destruction of the remaining birds in the squadron. The cargo trucks did come as a surprise, but in typical Novak fashion, she let someone else pay for her mistake.

The helicopter sat at the southeast corner of one of the hangar buildings. Heavily damaged by rocket fire, it was between the northwest corner of this building and the smaller outbuildings to the northwest that the cargo trucks had been parked when the Hind A flew over a few short minutes earlier.

Ssg Edwards could either go through the hangar or skirt around it in an attempt to flank the enemy. Either way, the shoulder wound was numb and the Ghost-Faced Haircut was ready to get some payback.

If there are no questions, please post

[Private to 1LT Gavin Barr: OOC: Fuck we think way too much alike]

Edwards skirted the hanger, AKR at the ready.  Moving slightly crouched, like a coiled spring ready to explode, he quickly covered ground, his eyes scanning as his head moved from side to side, checking for targets.  He paused where he could find cover to scan the area for rocket ammo crates.

In reply to SSG Alan Edwards (msg # 107):

It was a mixed trip for The Haircut as he did his Johnny Tough Guy routine up the side of the hangar. True, he didn't find any rocket crates, but he did find the enemy as they searched for the helicopter guns at the ready facing 180 degrees away from where the helicopter actually was. A mixed sight met the Jersey native as he owned the corner that concealed him from enemy observation.

The Soviet supply unit sent to collect anything usable from the airbase had been using POW labor to load up the three canvas-topped Ural cargo trucks. Three or four Brits and a couple Americans were standing around with this or that box or crate not sure of what to do while their Soviet infantry guards, about a squad in total, searched a fov that was facing north and not south.

From his angle Edwards could just make out the back of a GAZ-469 with a tropper standing behind a Dodge gun in a ring mount searching for the Hind A. The Ssg assumed it was this 12.7mmB weapon that shot at Novak and the others earlier. A second later, some Air Force types in uniforms WARPAC but not Soviet started barking orders and pointing to the POWs, who understood that it was time to get back to work.

Edwards moved quickly and quietly toward the GAZ, letting his SMG down on its sling and bringing up his knife.  He cherished the simple act of holding the edged weapon and anticipation built as he crept close to the blade's next victim.  With the troops distracted, he hoped to take out the 12.7mm gunner and turn the weapon system on the nearby Soviet troops.  There was a good chance someone might get the drop on him before he could take them all out.  But that didn't matter.  He'd have at least one more knife kill before they did.  Everyone died, but not everyone died duing the thing they loved.  And Alan Edwards loved killing.

In reply to SSG Alan Edwards (msg # 109):

The fact that the Soviet convoy was about to pull out became evident to Ssg Edwards as he 'look-peeked' around the corner. The driver of the 469 that the DShk was mounted on was also looking for the helo behind him. Edwards knew he could stab one or the other first, either driver or gunner, but not both, and there was no cover between two.

Of course as loud as it was, Edwards guessed that he might be able to get a shot off at one or both of the men and make it to the Dodge gun on the back of the little Soviet 'jeep' before the other enemy soldiers came into view even if they did hear his Soviet-made AKR.

Damn, Edwards thought, sheathing his M9.  He'd have to go loud to get this done.  Still, that DShK promised to make the chunky salsa that he loved.

Moving at a walk, Edwards closed on the 469.  He aimed at the gunner of the DShK and fired off four bursts.

In reply to SSG Alan Edwards (msg # 111):

OOC: I think V2.2 has rotted your brain! There is no 'burst fire' in the original rules, so I'll need to know which one is targeted first. FYI distance from corner to 469 is less than 5m, so running is not necessary if you wanted to take advantage of any time advantage you have.

Also, if you wanted to aim before you shot it would increase your chances of hitting per the rules. We could bog the game down by posting what group of actions happens in what five sec game turn, hesitations, etc, but I thought it would slow down to go into that level of detail every time. Of course, when it matters, it matters, so if you guys want it to get more rules-y let me know.

Having shot the gunner, Edwards moved to fill the driver full of lead as well.

OOC: Yeah, sorry about that.  Was away from my 1st ed rules.

So in 1 combat round, Mr. NJ can fire his AKR four times.  So round one will be fire at the gunner (the most dangerous of the two).  Aim or not, the first round hits and none of the rest can receive an aim bonus.  Previous post has been updated!

These rolls are for a second round of direct fire.

In reply to SSG Alan Edwards (msg # 113):

The sound and sight of the two Soviet soldiers in the 469 dying violently by Edwards and his AKR reminded the Jersey Native of the cat he killed as a child. His right hand throbbed as the AKR shook in it. However it was the knuckle where Alan punched the cat and it's broken tooth lodged in it that Ssg Edwards felt the most.

OOC: For future trigger time please remember that a five second round is taken to aim. Not saying you didn't know that, just asking you to throw it in there. Narka. :)

The Rooster wasted no time.  He hopped into the back of the vehicle, kicking the gunner's body off the truck as he manned the DShK.  Bracing his foot against vehicle, he pulled the charging handle before taking control of the HMG.  He turned the big weapon on the Soviet infantry squad guarding the POWs and took aim.

In reply to SSG Alan Edwards (msg # 115):

OOC: Visible from Ssg Edwards's firing position is four of the enemy soldiers. He can fire on those he can see, but for game's sake every miss has a 10% chance of hitting POWs at this point so we are clear.

Edwards pulled the trigger on the big weapon, firing on the first three soldiers in the line.  The first two were hit by fire, but then the DShK make a popping sound and jammed hard, leaving the third and fourth soldiers unharmed.

"Fucking cheap ass Soviet POS," Alan cursed as the DShK seized up.

Vita had been plotting and waiting, and now seemed as good a time as any to try to break free.  She had tried to desert as things in her unit had gotten hairy and rowdier, fearing for her own 'integrity'.  They had caught her and threw her in with the Brits and Americans.  It had been painful trying to get the group of POWs to trust her, especially with her so-so English skills.  Now that this crazy Mohawk American was blasting her former comrades turned captors, it was time.

Vita had a relatively small box, small enough to hurl at one of the uninjured guards.  At least that might buy time for the Mohawk to finish his work and kill these other bastards.  As she watched the box fly through the air toward it's intended target she called out to the other POWs a simple but poignant word in English, "NOW!"

OOC: take that!

08:46, Today: Yefreytor Viktorya 'Vita' Nowak rolled 28 using 1d100. TW (?) 50 - throw box at nearest guard.

"I'm not sticking around here to find out if your pal did it or not" CW3 Novak said to her CPG, pulling collective after increasing the Hind's engine and rotor speed enough for flight. The rubber wheels seemingly pushed the tarmac away as the highly modded Soviet-made warbird left the ground. The AKR fire was quickly replaced by the heavy thud of the Dodge gun as the Mi-24 Hind A made a counterclockwise orbit around the building Novak had terrain masked behind.

OOC: ESY RCN Barr please

In reply to CW3 Gabriela Novak (msg # 119):

Less than 100m to the north, Ssg Edwards was in rare form. With a couple of quick bursts he silenced the enemy DShk gun and the driver of the 469. In fact, they were writhing around in 'silence', blood gushing out of wounds as the Jersey native mounted the ring mount in the truck's back.

As the Dodge gun pounded away, heavy empty 12.7mmB shell casings clattered down onto the highly scratched metal floor of the open-topped scout truck. Two of the Soviet troopers watching the POWs who had been searching the sky seconds earlier for the return of the Hind A separated into pieces as one's left arm was blown away and the other one was cut in half.

The metallic click of the gun and the swearing of the mouth completely and safely disengaged from the brain told Edwards that the weapon's bolt, normally open when fired, and ridden home and become stuck in the breech on a cheaply-made, mass produced shell casing, disallowing it to fall from the weapon and shove in another shell.

The actions of the POWs ranged from standing there in shock as they were sprayed in blood by their only recently former captors to fighting with the guards to trying to run. Ssg Edwards couldn't see it all or hear exactly who was shouting exactly what at whom but he could tell as the helo moved off that the rest of the soldiers, friendly and enemy, were just out of view less than 10-20m away.

Vita Nowak's tossed box(OOC: we are talking ammo right?) landed right where she wanted it, knocking the Kalashnikov out of the man's hands. 5.45mmB loose bullets spilled all over the ground as the wooden box landed on the hard tarmac and cracked open.

A junior Sergeant that had been standing next to Vita's victim watched as the woman attacked his charge. The man expertly stepped over the loose ammo on the ground and lunged for the young woman as off to her left, a British man struggled with one of the guards.

OOC: Call me an old softie but I see the DShk jamming before any POW was hit. Of course, we could go with your version...:) Welcome to the fray Vita Nowak. PS so you guys know there is more than one last name here in Poland. Just putting that out there.

I need actions for Barr(scroll back to the previous message), Edwards and Nowak, please.

Vita did not stay static as the situation unfolded.  She attempted to use her attackers momentum against him by sidestepping and helping him along while she moved closer to picking up the dropped Kalashnikov. Perhaps a little elbow to the back of head if the opportunity presented itself would be nice too.

Edwards dropped down beside the 469 and changed his AKR's magazine.  He took a second to look around for the rockets he came here to get, content to let the soldiers and POWs provide a distraction for now.

In reply to SSG Alan Edwards (msg # 122):

From his vantage point next to the neutralized 469 Ssg Edwards could see three enemy versions of 5 ton trucks in trail as the enemy convoy which the 469 was at the head of was reading to move out when they were Edwardsed. He could see Vita Nowak as she elbowed a man in the chest knocking him back as she grabbed an AK-74 off the ground.

20-30m from his vantage point between the second and third trucks an overweight Brit and an American were trying to pry a couple of the Soviet soldiers off another Brit who was on the ground with one of the non-Soviet Chair Force REMF types. All of them heard a Kalashnikov discharge on 'auto fire' setting but neither Nowak nor Edwards who did the shooting, or why.

OOC: INT roll Edwards actions Nowak please

"Looks like Edwards took out the gun," Gavin said, studying the display.  "A bit of chaos down there now, not sure where he went but he's not on the gun anymore."

Edwards popped up from the 469 and trotted to the first vehicle, firing his AKR into the driver side door as he approached.

Vita feeling a surge of adrenaline as she closed her hands around the AK-74, turned to shoot the guard that had just lunged at her.  It wasn't the first time, but it would be the last.
