In reply to William Hawke (msg # 968):

Black, please!

In reply to Kelsey Sarah Champlain (msg # 969):

reaches in backpack, takes out coffee plant, and a lemur...

this is going to take a little while.

In reply to William Hawke (msg # 970):

As long as it's not like the coffee in "Black Adder Goes Forth"...

Tony

In reply to helbent4 (msg # 971):

Well, first the lemur has to pick the coffee berries, and eat the fruit.  Then we wait for the coffee beans to come out the other end of the lemur...

While that's going on, I'll go take control of the tank, with a butter knife.

In reply to William Hawke (msg # 972):

I guess now that "civet" coffee has lost its novelty value they moved on to lemurs?

Tony

In reply to helbent4 (msg # 973):

Nah, the civet wouldn't get in the bag, and the lemur was cheaper.

Hi group,

A friend of mine is running a Robotech RPG, set during the 2nd Robotech war. He's looking for players to take positions in a foot infantry unit or APC, on Mars. (I'm not a part of this game, but it looks interesting.)

Hi group,

To clarify, the range is actually 200m for Kel/Andrews, not 100m as I said before.

As well, I will make a post today to give your actions some context. For example, what targets Kel sees and what kind of terrain Hawke/Abbot are traversing.

Hi Team,

The only players who've rolled initiative are Andrews and Taras. (Mac and Andy I guess are exempt because they're not likely to make contact this turbn, but it would still be nice!)

If I don't get some rolls, must I assume everyone is holding their turn? MUST I?

Tony

As you say, not thinking I'd be able to participate in the brawl just yet, hadn't rolled... but anything to keep you happy :)

In reply to Christopher Little Hawk MacDonald (msg # 978):

I am!

But no rolls for Kel or Hawke. I am so bereft!

Tony

In reply to helbent4 (msg # 979):

A little note stating what the dice are, for those of us who aren't reading the books at work, would be handy.  ;)

--Hawk [no e]

In reply to William Hawke (msg # 980):

Like the little note I posted in the Dice Rolls thread explaining the dice rolls and TN? Way ahead of you, chief!

To reiterate: the standard die roll is 2d20, take the lowest. (The dice roller is set to this as default.) Compare to your OODA stat, if you beat that TN and by how much. Skills use different d20 pools.

Tony

TIME OUT! Belay Hawkes' last instruction. We discussed a rendevous at the truck, but it was in the context of a rally point. Let us reassess this offline.

In reply to Stanley Alistair Abbot (msg # 982):

Yes, this does sound a little 180 degrees of what you were doing. It's been a busy week for Hawk and I'm sympathetic if he's maybe lost track a bit of what's going on. So, you know, don't sweat it.

Tony

In reply to Stanley Alistair Abbot (msg # 982):

Standing by.

In reply to helbent4 (msg # 979):

Sorry, this is a busy season, and on top of it we are house hunting.

Just got back from a local game, someone remind me how to roll initiative?

In reply to Kelsey Sarah Champlain (msg # 985):

No problem!



Are you familiar with the T2013 system of "ticks"? These are basically action points.

Tony

In reply to helbent4 (msg # 986):

not anymore I am not...

Some interesting comments about the canister ammo for the 76 mm gun used by the Saladin/Scorpion/Cougar:

In reply to Taras Vladimirovich Shevchenko (msg # 988):

Awesome anecdotes. Sounds like it trashes the barrel because these are not flechettes.

Tony

Flechettes are packed in fuzed warheads saving the life of the barrel.

Here is an interesting video, Vietnam era: Cobra gunships using "flechette" rockets:

Group,

Thanks for you patience! I think there were a couple hits. Now to determine effects! Sorry for the delay and thanks for getting all your rolls in.

Tony

1) OOC comments go in the OOC thread if you are posting no actions. You can post you're looking around (1 tick cost) in the IC thread if you want detailed answers. I do understand if you're on a tablet or smart phone, posting to a different thread is a real pain!

2) You are engaging known hostiles, no challenge or warning is necessary. In fact, your RoEs specify you can always engage if your safety is clearly threatened under any circumstances. This is covered under your "Rights to Engage".

3) Without spending an action (tick) to look further, you see you are looking across an overgrown lot, then the parking lot. Diving to the ground will put you out of LOS as the grass is waist high. The only concealment is the long grass in front of you and the hedges you just came through, but there is no hard cover nearby. There is a small house or structure 10m off to your right, behind some bushes.

Added: we forgot to give Andrews a call sign! "Bishop-4" works for me.

Tony

Hey Tony.  Can you please update the map?
