I have no preference where Ferro goes. I think we should maybe stick with our teams as much as possible though. Unless we are changing up again.

Ferro still has Mitch's set of NVGs. Is he going to want them back?

Happy to go in one of the munitions trucks in the rear. Billy also has a pair of NVG's.

Thanks for the update on the ordnance, no 40mmN shame.

I'll try to get some posting up sometime today everyone.

Please

Fuse - just to be clear are we able to help ourselves to any of this?  Or will we be able to "request" some once we've delivered it all to the IB?

Thanks.

Fuse - how good a driver is Meyer?

In reply to Luis Ortega (msg #10):

Entry level. He can driving a truck on a hard-top road, at normal speed, and under good weather conditions, but don't expect too much else.

In reply to Fusilier (msg #11):

Hum - how about Fox and Eikki?

Also did you see message #8 above?

Fox and Eikki are the same as Meyer. Unless you planning on doing some off road driving, any of the three are fine. Luis is actually the best driver, but probably not the best choice.

You aren't supposed to pick through the munitions. You can request later.

Ok, I'll be working on the turn later, but might not get it done until tomorrow. I know a few players haven't gotten in a turn yet, but would like to get things moving again.

Unless you want it changed, which is fine if you do, I was going with this order...

UAZ-469 > Tarpan Honker > Zil-131 > Capt. Beale's Humvee > Zil-130 > Flatbed > Tow Truck

...that's a lot of vehicles!

Oh, and the PoWs (10) are going in the back of the Zil-131.

Are the 6 Marines guarding them?

Also please note that the prisoners will be bound, gagged and hooded for the duration of the journey.

Lastly the intention for a prisoner swap will be explained to both the Marines and the prisoners to ensure that the prisoners understand that we want to trade them and to ensure that the Marines understand that we need to keep the prisoners alive if at all possible.

In reply to Luis Ortega (msg #15):

There are ten prisoners and only room in the truck for 10 (because of the cargo), but the Humvee is close behind with a clear view of the truck's interior.

I correctly assumed you'd have them restrained... so the PoWs should be the least of your problems :D

I figured the Marines would be in the tow truck with 2 more riding shotgun in one of the cargo vehicles.

In reply to Fusilier (msg #16):

Actually, I just realized there are 13 people assigned to the Tarpan Honker. That is too many, so you'll need to transfer some bodies over to another vehicle. Shifting over Ferro to the UAZ as a driver (as requested) and maybe putting two NPCs (Cooper/Janusz) as security on the other trucks would work.

Or you could also make the tow truck the HQ vehicle (room for 3 inside and 2 in the back).

There still is some details regarding the seating that need to be addressed, but I went and put up a little turn post... if anything to just get the unit on the road.

In reply to Fusilier (msg #18):

Fuse - are you ok with Ortega reacting to the dead bodies before we move on?

Thanks.

Equipment question.

I have NVGs but no helmet. Can NVGs be worn around the head without a mount, like a head torch, or do you have to mount them to a helmet?

If the latter then me having them will be pointless until I find some new headgear.

In reply to Luis Ortega (msg #19):

Do you mean like dialogue? If its something like that then yes, but if it entails dismounting or doing some other action that takes time it might require some rolls. With the enemy outpost in visual range to the south, it best not to stick around. Especially if you've been given a free ticket to pass by without incident.

In reply to Caleb Mulcahy (msg #20):

Without a helmet, it requires a special head mount/harness... which you don't have. So, in Caleb's case, I'm rolling for observation checks as if he has active night vision, but once he needs to use both hands (like to shoot), he will be back to just the ole'eyeball.

In reply to Fusilier (msg #21):

One bit is a question so that sounds like it is ok but the other bit was to try to grab the weapons and ammo off the dead guys - I assume that's not possible, even for the first one we saw?

In reply to Luis Ortega (msg #22):

Not unless you want to open up the possibility of additional rolls and events, sorry.

In reply to Fusilier (msg #23):

No worries - I thought that that would be the case.  Just needed to check.

Ok, this is what looks like has been worked out...
