Re: OOC Thread - 12

So just to summarize since I can't access photoshop tonight to update the map...

At the moment there are six uniformed soldiers advancing along the east road (which was you announced withdraw route) - and some aggressive stone throwers in the rubble to the south.

The gunfire heard a moment ago was to the west.




Please note in your combat tag where your PC is sitting and in what particular vehicle.

Re: OOC Thread - 12

Fusilier:
Please note in your combat tag where your PC is sitting and in what particular vehicle.

I think that the current vehicle assignments/positions are:

Humvee #1

Driver: Ferro
Gunner: Billy

Interior Passenger - JJM - front passenger seat
Interior Passenger - Frank - left or right rear seat
Interior Passenger - Varis - left or right rear seat

BMP Ambulance

Drive: Marshall
Commander/Observer: Fox

Interior Passenger: Roy
Interior Passenger: Katarzyna
Interior Passenger: D’Arcy
Interior Passenger: Cooper
Interior Passenger: Seeley (Litter Space)
Interior Passenger: Morgan (Litter Space)

Topside Passenger: Johnny
Topside Passenger: Caleb
Topside Passenger: Tosh

Humvee #2

Driver: Grady
Gunner: Owen

Interior Passenger - Per - front passenger seat
Interior Passenger - Ortega - left rear seat
Interior Passenger - Woman prisoner - hunkered down probably

Does that make sense?  Anyone got any amendments?

Ta,

Andy.

Re: OOC Thread - 12

Francis 'Frank' Benucci:
Frank enters the back left side, throwing the empty AK on the floor and prepares to return fire or put out some cover fire as they make their way out of this area.  Priority targets will be people within close proximity (armed or unarmed) then, working his way away from their vehicles.


Sorry Cork, that seat's already taken.

Varis Babicevs:
Varis took the left rear seat, since it was easier for him, as a right-hander, to fire across his body. He didn't shoot at the stone throwers, but if he spotted anyone with a firearm of any kind, he sent a three round burst or two his or her way.

Turn is up. Unfortunately it seems that the Mad Dogs' recent run of good die rolls and one sided ass kicking has come to an end.

I get some detailed PMs out later tonight for those affected.

I may also be able to get a tactical map up as well, but I'm not sure yet.

Also, please remind me if I forget to tally up ammo consumption for this turn.

Re: OOC Thread - 12

Who have we got in the 2nd Humvee going back to the fight? I think it is just Per, Ortega, Caleb and Marshall. Is that correct? I assume that means there are no active PCs left with the BMP.

On a side note, have Owen and Roy's players quit, or have they just gone quiet? I know that Mediiic is seriously busy in RL, but not sure about Owen's player.

Yes, quite. Thanks. Sorry we couldn't meet up. We only spent two days in London and everything was planned out. But I quite enjoyed it. Now I've been to Ireland, Wales, and Scotland too!

No worries.  It turned out that I wouldn't have been able to meet up anyway.  I was manic on Monday and went to Paris on Tuesday.  That may sound great but I essentially sat in a different office building for about 8 hrs and then came home.....

Sorry about that. I got home to work last night to find my house frozen and without power. I had to go stay at my parents. We just got through (hopefully the last) winter storm and it was pretty bad.

Anyway, turn is up. I was asked to stop it where I did, which will allow the PC's some better control on their decisions how to deal with the situation. If you need any clarification of things on the ground please don't hesitate.

Is Varis going to that second copse of trees (left of the BRDM)? Or just sticking to the one adjacent to the Humvee?

Take a look at the scale... for a shot from the first copse that over 300m.

Re: OOC Thread - 12


I'd prefer to be closer when taking the shot, but crossing the open ground to the eastern copse isn't worth the risk, AFAIC. Unless ordered to move closer, Varis will fire from the western wood.

That said, if the distractions appear to work, Varis will work in closer, but only after determining that enemy dismounts aren't present in force.

Not quite.  I think that it's best to cut northwards slightly and then use available cover to get to a firing position away from the hummer.

Fuse - my thoughts are something like the blue arrows on the map below:



Also (in relation to something that Per raised) can Owen actually see the buildings where the horses were seen from his current position?

If the various diversions seemed to be effective, [Varis would] work as close to the BRDM as he could (and still be near cover) before firing the AT rocket.

The armored Humvee moves up to engage then at the same time too, yes?

Re: OOC Thread - 12


Varis will exit the Humvee as soon as it stops. If the diversion get's the BRDM's attention- i.e. its turret turns away from the area near him and "his" Humvee- he'll try to move closer in order to get a better shot. If the BRDM stays focused on his Humvee, then he'll shoot and scoot quickly, from distance.

Am I making sense?

Re: OOC Thread - 12

In reply to Fusilier (msg # 98):

That depends on whether one HE round is enough to prompt a reaction from the BRDM-2.  If it isn't then Ortega will get Caleb to engage as well and also fire a second round himself.

Additionally from around the same direction will be Per sniping, hopefully taking out any dismounts who appear.

Does that make sense?  It's a bit fluid and is dependent on the reaction of the BRDM-2.  The key thing is that we're trying to get it engaging the diversion team to give the RPG team (Varis) a chance to get an aimed shot.  The moment it starts to target us however we're getting into cover (ideally a defilade) so that we're as safe as we can be.

EDIT - a question that might become important.  How overgrown is the field directly north of the Grady Hummer?

"In between an empty tractor shed with a sagging roof and a house with only it's ground floor untouched by fire, the trio locates a suitable position. There's high grass providing additional concealment in between the structures, as well as a couple rusty drums once used to collect rainwater and a stack of large tractor tires, for the Mad Dogs to use for cover."

I forgot to ask, but can the diversion team be a little specific on their locations/choice of cover. I gave some examples of what's available and there's also the corners of the buildings.

And for everyone, please use combat tags from here on.

Just about done the turn... when I realized I messed up, which in turn messed up Kolstrup's report. I wrote the BRDM is heading west, when I meant East.

I'm not sure how that would have changed any of the actions, but I think it's best to push on, deal with the turn resolution as it's been rolled up, and I'll try to make it up in the next one or something.

It's no trouble.

I need to clarify Varis though - he can see the BRDM-2.

It's in around some trees and brush but it certainly hasn't left (just ceased fired since Billy opened up on it again). Varis can see the small turret and part/most of the front hull.

Northwest of the large island in the middle of the city... just under where it says "Letnica" on the map above. I'll be doing up something with better for you to work with in the near future.

Yes, much more detailed - though it's not been waterproofed and the GM will ruin it the first chance he gets.

The notebook has typical Polish phrases, grid references (surely encrypted), useless administrative info from before Grady ended up in Gdansk, a diagram of a bunker/trench system, a timetable of some sort, etc etc... not much of anything useful to you except for the blank sheets.

How do these vehicle assignments sound to people:

Humvee #1

Driver: Ferro
Gunner: Billy

Interior Passenger - Ortega - front passenger seat
Interior Passenger - Frank - left rear seat
Interior Passenger - Cooper - right rear seat


BMP Ambulance

Drive: Marshall
Commander/Observer: Fox

Interior Passenger: Roy
Interior Passenger: Katarzyna
Interior Passenger: D’Arcy
Interior Passenger: Seeley
Interior Passenger: Morgan
Interior Passenger: Johnny (Litter Space)
Interior Passenger: Tosh (Litter Space)


Humvee #2

Driver: JJM
Gunner: Per

Interior Passenger - Owen - front passenger seat
Interior Passenger - Caleb - left rear seat
Interior Passenger – Varis – right rear seat

Fuse - I think that that might be one more person inside the BMP than there are seats.  If that's the case then someone, probably Roy, is stuck on the floor.

Re: OOC Thread - 12

Turn is up...

It's a long turn with much happening, but I wanted to describe the return in a bit of detail. The part about the IB was just to remind/show that, despite them usually plotting against you or seizing your vehicles, there are some good guys in the IB too. And the rest was just a reminder of the Gdansk setting since it's been a while for most players.

The prisoner is still with you (main group). When the opportunity was there to hand him over to the Anglo-German squad it was overlooked, so there's a chance to speak with him and deal with that as you see fit.

I need to know which Mad Dogs you are going to drop for medical treatment.

Note, anyone going into St.Mary's (wounded or otherwise) must disarm.

Lastly, sorry if I haven't been keeping up much. This last week has been very busy with work and a housing change, but things are clearing up this week.

It's good to be back in Gdansk. Fuse, you've done such a remarkable job with your world-building over the span of this campaign that, when I read the current turn post, I really felt like I was returning to a real place where I'd spent a significant amount of time.

Varis will be going to Kaminski's and Per will go with the major to the Marians.

Okay, this is a list of some of Johnny's gear that I reckon would not have gone with him to the hospital. It is therefore available to be borrowed or put into party stores:

Polish steel helmet
MP5SD3 (suppressed with collapsible stock) [2.8kg] with 7 30rnd mags and a total of 207 rounds
3x Frag grenade [1.0kg]
Combat knife & sheath [0.4kg]
Hatchet [1.0kg]
Ghillie Suit [2.0kg]
SVD Dragunov w/PSO-1 Scope [4.3kg] with 6 10rnd mags and a total of 43 rounds.
Aircraft Survival Pack
 Day MRE - possibly already eaten
 Bottle 500ml water - empty
 Survival blanket
 Wool shirt
 Personal Med kit
 Pen light
 Magnesium fire starter
 Gas Mask [1.0kg] ***BROKEN EYELET***
 USSR pack
 USSR military clothing

His remaining gear, including clothing and webbing, I assume went with him into the hospital.

There's going to be a few little slow moving issues that come hand in hand with returning to the city I guess. It won't last long, but I couldn't see the Mad Dogs showing up again as if they've hadn't been gone for over a month. Hopefully it won't put off too many players. Once the unit gets established it'll be easier to get things moving again.

Thank you.

Well you can't directly control access from the compound, except to cover it with fire, but if you were to occupy the bridge with a force then the compound would be the best place to support them from.

Re: OOC Thread - 12

We could set up an OP on the bridge, maybe with an MG if needed. But I suppose the question is, do we need to control the bridge?

Caleb will be happy to do whatever. From what Aleksandar said we should need to dig latrines, just sort out the plumbing. Once done we can use hand pumps or suchlike to fill cisterns, or just have buckets to fill direct from the river to flush toilets with.

I'd suggest the PCs making the place more defensible and such.

In reply to Fusilier (msg # 201):

Okay, this is a list of some of Johnny's gear that I reckon would not have gone with him to the hospital. It is therefore available to be borrowed or put into party stores:

Polish steel helmet
MP5SD3 (suppressed with collapsible stock) [2.8kg] with 7 30rnd mags and a total of 207 rounds
3x Frag grenade [1.0kg]
Combat knife & sheath [0.4kg]
Hatchet [1.0kg]
Ghillie Suit [2.0kg]
SVD Dragunov w/PSO-1 Scope [4.3kg] with 6 10rnd mags and a total of 43 rounds.
Aircraft Survival Pack
 Day MRE - possibly already eaten
 Bottle 500ml water - empty
 Survival blanket
 Wool shirt
 Personal Med kit
 Pen light
 Magnesium fire starter
 Gas Mask [1.0kg] ***BROKEN EYELET***
 USSR pack
 USSR military clothing

His remaining gear, including clothing and webbing, I assume went with him into the hospital.


All of the above can be added to party stores for the time being. If/when Johnny gets out of hospital he can look to re-kit himself.

Re: OOC Thread - 12

Fuse,

Please can I double check who's at Kaminski's new place and their wound status.  I think that it's the following:

JJM - unwounded
Ortega - wounded but active
Frank - wounded and inactive
Fox - unwounded
Billy - wounded but active
Caleb - unwounded
Wilson - unwounded
Ferro - unwounded
Meyer  - unwounded but drunk/massive hangover
Per - unwounded
Marshall - unwounded
Varis  - unwounded
Seeley - wounded but active

Therefore at the hospital are:

Roy - as Doc
Owen - as runner
Tosh - patient
Johnny - patient
Cooper - patient
Morgan  - patient
D'Arcy - patient

Is that everyone or have I forgotten someone?

The Polish girl left didn't she?

Fusilier:
1) how far out is the clearing patrol going? I assume it won't be over the bridge, but distance might affect things.

Not very far at all initially.  I think to start with we'll walk just outside the perimeter to understand what it is (Is it a fence all the way around etc or are there gaps?  What happens at the river?  Is it easy for someone to climb around there? etc) and what potential sentry positions there are in the base.  We'll also work out any obvious avenues of approach that we need to watch/mine in particular.

Once we've done that perimeter walk we'll then do a return trip but a bit further out this time, having a look at the nearby buildings.  Please note that Aleksander is coming with us so he may be able to tell us stuff about the nearby buildings etc.

Fusilier:
2) what sort of tactical posture are you adopting? Casual or cautious?

Cautious but not threatening if we come across anyone living nearby.

I'll get the stores merged tonight.

Do you need info from Tosh as well?

Unit stores has been consolidated into one list.

Not enough food was eaten yet so I'll knock a bit off that later. I also need to drop the fuel once I measure out some distances, but you have enough to drive into the Old City Quarter and back... maybe two or three times (it's not far).

I believe Wilson is PO2, which makes him an OR-5 equivalent.

In reply to Caleb Mulcahy (msg # 251):

All but two have been sold. They are at the rowing club compound now.



Some points about a couple characters and gear...

Frank's mobility will limit him of course, but for game play reasons we can stretch things a little. If you want to put him on the fifty cal or something like that it's fine... just no no movement faster than a limp, climbing, taking cover quickly, etc...

Fox, Cooper, and Lines are not present. Everyone else is (Roy and Barnett have returned).

Aleksandar is ready to go. He is armed with an AKM and six full magazines at present.

The GPMG in stores/up on the roof may be mounted on Grady's Humvee. Right now that vehicle is unarmed as the old Soviet machine gun you were using doesn't fit the mount (and it's almost out of ammo anyways).

Battery strengths for powered gear has been updated. There are still a few hours left on all devices, but you don't have any recharging capabilities yet so you may want to keep an eye on their usage.

Fuel reserves are low. You're burning fumes in the two Humvees and the BMP is essentially empty. There's about 10km worth of driving available, which is enough for a couple trips into the Old City Quarter and back.

Per is running low on ammo. He needs 7.62mmN. He intends to ask Wright for some as partial payment for services rendered, but he's always on the lookout for more. I figured that declaring it here would be less obnoxious than bringing it up in every IC post from here on out. But, if the opportunity to RP the acquisition comes up, I will, of course, IC it.

 - Are any of the rest of Kaminski's guards actually NATO troops?  Ortega would have checked on them as part of setting up the sentry rotas.

 - Is Katarzyna still with us or has she departed on her own tasks?

Varis is currently armed with an M4, for which he's got quite a bit of ammo. His AKM was stolen and he offloaded all the ammo he had for it.

His #1 priority is to acquire a new BG-15 or 25. He still has quite a few grenades for it. At that point, he'll need to switch back to an AK variant.

Let's start to put together a shopping list as Ortega needs them as well.

I think that we have the following items on it at present:

 - Food
 - 7.62mmN ammo
 - .45 ACP ammo
 - 40mmN Grenades
 - AKM
 - BG-15 GL or equivalent

I've got a feeling that we're going to be quite poor and are going to be struggling to feed ourselves let alone buy much of that stuff above.

What do people think about trading the BMP?

Billy 'Crack' O'Brien :

Here's part of the the conversation during the meeting:

Ortega: "One other thing.  When you first mentioned a mission outside of the city to me you talked about how you'd be able to help those who succeeded in the mission get back to friendly lines.  Is that the case and if it is what's the set up on that?"

Wright: "It most certainly is the case. I'll have some very relevant information regarding the remaining duration of your stay in Poland, that I will share with you on your successful return."


There was a lot more said, but that was pretty much all that was mentioned of payment.

For the rest see Chap. 8 and start with MSG# 838.

I only have 25 rounds left for my UMP. I think I'm going to ditch it for a 9mm SMG I picked up in Silesia. .45 ammo seems hard to come by and as much as I like my UMP I don't want to be have to go hunting down bullets after every shootout. 9mm seems easier.

If you want those rounds you can have them.

RP-46 MMG
AK74 x3
Wz88 Tantal x2
AK-105
M16A2
G3A3 Rifle
M1911A1 x2
Chemical Def Suit (Pol)
Roll of greenhouse tarp
Paint (2.5L white)
Shoes/Boots (All Sizes) x26
Bicycle Tire x4
Beekeepers Hat
Clock, Wind Up (small)
Saw Blades, Large x4

Anyone got any suggestions of things we want to keep or things that we should trade away?

I think that we also need to mount a salvage operation to recover those mortar shells ASAP for their trade value as well as searching the local area for the salvage opportunities around Kaminski's.  That closed up tunnel sounds interesting for a start.

The arms smugglers out by Lada's old place are more specialists we might go and buy something from rather than sell to, unless I'm misreading things.

Re: OOC Thread - 12

Some places where trade can be done...

1. Solidarity Market - largest market in the city. Operated by the Merchant Union. Just about anything can be found within reason and usually at local market prices.

2. Rajska Day/Night Market (Thieves' Market) - smaller. Despite the name it's not really thieves selling loot. Not the safest place to go.

3. Valeska's smuggler group - limited availability for weapons (only) and subsequently higher prices.

4. The docks - One functioning collection of wharfs and warehouses are under the control of the Fisherman's League. While it is not a designated market zone, trade goods intended for import/export can be bartered for (usually in bulk only). The harbor front is also one of the few places fuel can be purchased in large quantities.

5. Gang Ango - they aren't really in the business of trade, but might be able to help.


Wright isn't going to ask for anything back.

Varis has become the team's premier grenadier. Therefore, his #1 priority is a new BG-15/25 GL. He still has quite a few grenades for it. He'll take whichever of the 5.45mm AK variants listed above that's in the best overall shape (i.e. lowest wear).

The only reason I haven't done this yet is I was under the impression that ammunition might be an issue. How's our community stock of 5.45mm ammo?

To the trading pool, Varis can contribute the M4 he's been using (sorry, I can't remember who gave it to him) and 8.5 full 30-round magazines of 5.56mmN., and two empty STANAGs.

Also, I know he gave it back (to Ferro, maybe?) but this was still listed on his char-sheet.

12ga. Pump action shotgun [4.0kg] (strapped to back of rucksack)
  7x 12ga. slug rounds (2x Slug and 5x Buckshot) ***loaded***


Is there somewhere were all of the current PCs and their primary weapons are listed? That would help us all know which PCs can share ammo, claim war booty, etc.

Thanks.  Please can everyone go through their equipment lists and declare the mission gear that the don't want any more.  For a start there should be several NBC suits.

Fuse - please can you do this for the NPCs as well.  Morgan, Cooper and Fox should have some gear.

The list of 5.45mm AKs doesn't include all of the ones we have in the stores (there are 5 AK74s not just the 3 we're trading).  I assumed that we'd keep the best two so Varis could take one of those.  There is a reasonable amount of 5.45mm ammo, particularly when I put some back in that is on Tosh's sheet.

We'll try to trade for a GL as well.  Would you rather stick with a 7.62mmS weapon if possible?

Varis Babicevs:
To the trading pool, Varis can contribute the M4 he's been using (sorry, I can't remember who gave it to him) and 8.5 full 30-round magazines of 5.56mmN., and two empty STANAGs.

This should go back to Owen, though some of the mags were extras that should go into the stores.  From memory Owen has 5 full mags and the rest came from Tosh.

Or did it belong to Caleb?

Re: OOC Thread - 12


Varis will take an AK-type based on what ammo seems most plentiful and available. Based on what Tosh is pitching in, it sounds like an AK-74 variant.

Re: OOC Thread - 12

The shotgun was NOT Caleb's. He dropped his off the boat in Hel.

Caleb's GL asset is 11, not sure how that compares to others.

I am carrying a total of about 250 rounds of 5.45 ammo. Not keen to lose any of it but will share if Varis is short of a couple of mags.

Re: OOC Thread - 12

Everyone - based on message #12 of this thread link to a message in this game there should be a number of items, mostly NBCW suits, that we were issued for the last mission and are still on people's character sheets.  I know that a number of backpacks got lost but if you have anything that you can contribute to the trade then please post the details.  We currently have little of any real value to trade and we want a considerable amount of gear.

Turn is up for both. I'll add in some supplemental bits once I get an idea how you want to handle things. Please try to be clear as to where your PCs are.

Note, due to the weather and relative secure locations, both vehicle gunners are currently 'in' the vehicles - not up and manning them. You need to tell me in the IC post if you want to change that.

No I think you are right. AK-107 certainly can, but the barrel on a Ak-105 is to short.

Re: OOC Thread - 12

OK everyone I need some opinions/suggestions.

I think that the prices from the Fisherman's Union for weapons are quite good at 75% book value and as a result we can get just of $6k in value.  That can buy a load of food if we want to trade it all (though we'll be eating fish for ages!) but it might not be worth doing unless we can get some fuel as well as we might be better off trading some of them with other people.

Please can I have some opinions and suggestions on what to do?

Thanks,

Andy.

Well,we know their prices now and where to find them. We could trade some now to get some food, and then maybe come back another day after exploring other trade options. Someone else might give a better price or have a better range of products for sale, including fuel.

Question - does Kaminski's place have a still, or some gear so we could set one up? Not a short term solution but worth considering. If we can make a bit of fuel ourselves that might help.

Makes sense.  I wasn't using the right prices however so we don't have quite as much to spend if we trade it all.  Three weeks food is possibly a bit too much at this stage however - Dean doesn't know it but we might be about to go on a trip out of the city to salvage some mortar shells we found.

There are a total of 7 Jerry cans. I've just made a note in the inventory list that Jerry can totals can be found in the Fuel Data post. For simplicity sake, you have enough with the Humvee at the docks for your purchase.

A note on that, I'm not going to do what I did before and break down the totals of everything and indicate how much is on each vehicle in the stores thread. It's just too much added bookkeeping and there's enough of that already. What I plan to do is just state one basic value system for all (that you can decide). For example:

Vehicle #1 - 25%
Vehicle #2 - 25%
Vehicle #3 - 50%

The Magnesium fire starter is yours. It was part of the Aircraft Survival pack, which has been moved to the stores.

That battery is for a Soviet R-159 model radio.

That's the radio we have in the stores isn't it?  How good is the battery on it and should we swap it for this one?

It "looks" better. Unless you plan on trading it away, I can add the 'value' of the battery onto the existing charge... which is the simplified way I handle batteries now. It's a one time thing and the battery is deleted from the list that it's on.

@all, I'll get the second part of the turn done up later. I need to review how I plan on working it out.

@Andy, Ok on that latest stores request.

Yes, the CS gas grenades are from that riot gun thing that Ortega had during the Silesia mission.  They're 47mm and don't fit anything else.  I thought that Billy could turn them into an IED though......

I suggest we look at selling the laser range finder as we don't have much use for it.

I suggest that the spare radio battery be added to the unit stores however to give the manpack a longer battery life (Fuse - I don't think that it's listed currently on the battery list).

Re: OOC Thread - 12

Fusilier:
Some places where trade can be done...

1. Solidarity Market - largest market in the city. Operated by the Merchant Union. Just about anything can be found within reason and usually at local market prices.

2. Rajska Day/Night Market (Thieves' Market) - smaller. Despite the name it's not really thieves selling loot. Not the safest place to go.

3. Valeska's smuggler group - limited availability for weapons (only) and subsequently higher prices.

4. The docks - One functioning collection of wharfs and warehouses are under the control of the Fisherman's League. While it is not a designated market zone, trade goods intended for import/export can be bartered for (usually in bulk only). The harbor front is also one of the few places fuel can be purchased in large quantities.

5. Gang Ango - they aren't really in the business of trade, but might be able to help.

Number 1 off this list.

From message #12 of this thread link to a message in this game I think that we established that $1,500 weighed 0.075kg which I believe means that 1 gram of gold equals $200 in value and therefore that Marshall's 5 grams are worth $1,000.

I think that we should do the deal for the mechanic's tools and superglue. I'm not sure what Per has on him though to trade so I'm holding off on an IC post for him. Should I just say, "We'll take it. We'll be back with x in a few."? Not sure what x should be. Also, any sign of a Soviet GL yet?

From the IC posts it sounds like Marshall is doing the trade for the tools (and possibly the superglue) with his own stash of gold.

I therefore think that Ortega will be doing the trade with the other merchant and the soldiers (for the 5.56mmN rounds - I think that we still need to understand the quantity and price of these) with the other trade goods.

Does that make sense?

Re: OOC Thread - 12

Sorry for not posting but the combination of work (I went to Paris for the day yesterday just to sit in a meeting room without any windows a try to mediate between two groups of French colleagues of mine having a row) and my birthday mean that I've been away from RPOL for a couple of days.

I think that we sell the following at those prices:

Shoes/Boots (All Sizes) x26 - 100$
Laser Rangefinder - 100$
Bicycle Tire x4 - 75$
Chemical Def Suit (Pol) - 25$
NBCW suit (Ortega) - 25$
NBCW suit (Morgan) - 25$

Roll of greenhouse tarp - 15$
Beekeepers Hat - 5$
Clock, Wind Up (small) - 5$
Saw Blades, Large x4 - 5$
Preserved fish - 5$/kg
35mm Camera w/extra roll of film - 5$
IR glowstick (with swing string) - 5$
Holster for Stechkin - 5$

That gives us $320 equivalent value.  How much will they trade us for that?  Materials to make 12 field dressings?

Fusilier:
"Additionally what ammo were those British corporals selling and what was the price?" - You didn't have anything they wanted. I kind of mentioned it in passing for a reason other than a trading opportunity.

Sorry.  I misunderstood your IC post.

Okay, they'll take that trade. It'll make 12 once some time is spent cutting and folding them, and getting some packaging to keep them sterile.

Just before we do that trade this is the last chance for someone to say "let's keep the laser rangefinder and not trade it".

Anyone think that we should keep it?

Re: OOC Thread - 12

Fuse, based on the first couple of replies I think that we also don't sell the laser rangefinder.  That leave the following items in the trade:

Shoes/Boots (All Sizes) x26 - 100$
Laser Rangefinder - 100$
Bicycle Tire x4 - 75$
Chemical Def Suit (Pol) - 25$
NBCW suit (Ortega) - 25$
NBCW suit (Morgan) - 25$

Roll of greenhouse tarp - 15$
Beekeepers Hat - 5$
Clock, Wind Up (small) - 5$
Saw Blades, Large x4 - 5$
Preserved fish - 5$/kg
35mm Camera w/extra roll of film - 5$
IR glowstick (with swing string) - 5$
Holster for Stechkin - 5$

That gives us $220 equivalent value which should hopefully be enough for 8 dressings.

Re: OOC Thread - 12

We need something to keep the dressings sterile. Tinfoil is the easiest but any heavy plastic will do too.

If we don't have the following at base we will need ideally:

A cast iron iron
A pressure cooker
Something like old fashioned curling tongs if we have to use plastic, if we can't find something like that we can improvise the heat sealing

Basically, the process is:
cut bandages to size and tack edges if needed
fold to smallest size and iron flat (not needed on rolls
wrap in tinfoil (if we're using plastic which might be easier to find we'll need to melt the edges shut)
boil in the pressure cooker for 30 mins or in an oven at 300 degrees for 3 hours


If we can, keep the rangefinder.

They'll take that trade for the bandages. Please remove any of those items that may have been on PC sheets.

I recall one PC having a roll of tinfoil in their inventory once. I wonder if that's gone.

In reply to Luis Ortega (msg # 399):

It seems that there is a decimal in the wrong place for that. After searching some more I found where we set the gold price way back in OOC 3 thread. It's 20/gram.

That's still a deal for the tools at 3 grams... which is about the weight of a penny. It should be higher but I'm not going to backtrack and raise it.

Re: OOC Thread - 12

In reply to Fusilier (msg # 419):

I think that it's just 3 items unless the gems turn out to be massively valuable:

 - 40mmS grenade launcher for Varis

 - 40mmN grenades for JJM, Billy & Ortega

 - something like foil to allow Dean to make the 8 field dressings

That's it I think unless someone has a suggestion on something that I've missed.  We could also do with ammo but we'd probably go and trade with the arms smugglers for that (and may do so for the first couple of items if the MU doesn't have any or the prices are too high).

Does that make sense?

Andy.

Thanks, that's just what I wanted.

Yes, the MU prices will be higher (item depending) than the smugglers, but the variety and quantity better.

The turn is done and I'll post it once I get home later. I'm sorry if it's a little slow for the trade guys, but I'm trying to pace the timing it with the other group so we dont lose continuity.

I don't believe there was an amount given for the industrial diamonds, but they are worth 550$ in total.

Re: OOC Thread - 12

Fuse,

Thanks for these prices.

Fusilier:
Chemical Def Suit - 100$/each
Industrial Diamonds - 550$/all


I think that we'd like to trade for the following:
- Soviet BG-15 grenade launcher - Good condition - 600$
- 40mmN HE Grenades - Prewar manufactured x6 - 48$
- Materials to make 8x field dressing packages - Plastic tarp, tin foil, empty MRE packaging, etc - 20$ for everything

Please note that we'd also like to buy the following but can't afford a full case (and you've said that they won't split one):
- 40mmN HE Grenades - Local manufactured - 350$/case of 48 (max available 2 cases)

Therefore we want to buy 668$ of value.  Will they trade us everything for the diamonds plus one of the chemical defence suits for a total value of 650$?  If they won't then we'll add in another suit but will look for some other items to make up the remaining 82$ of value we can extract from the deal.  We'll be looking for, in no particular order:

- other medical gear
- batteries
- 5.56mmN ammo
- 7.62mmN ammo
- 5.45mmB ammo
- grenades

(If anyone has any other suggestions of items we could do with then please say)

We trade for:
 - Soviet BG-15 grenade launcher - Good condition - 600$

 - Materials to make 8x field dressing packages - Plastic tarp, tin foil, empty MRE packaging, etc - 20$ for everything
 - 5.56mmN x420 - 100$
 - 7.62mmN x300 - 75$

Or instead of the grenade?

Can Per get some of the 7.62mm N ammo we're buying? He's down to 120 rounds which, if he was just a sniper, would be sufficient. But since he's also sometimes a SAW man, he's pretty low.

I think that Varis is going to be shifting to an AK101 soon.

I think that it would be good to add the manpack radio in the stores to the list, particularly as Billy has donated an extra battery for it.

Hopefully this helps explain things if my narrative was confusing...

Humvee - pointed east

Known/suspected enemy:
1) at end of street to the east - this guy probably shot JJM
2) across the road and in the entrance to the eatery - previously suppressed by Varis
3) on roof
4) ???

Billy outside - just exiting the theater
JJM - standing beside Humvee
Wright - lying beside Humvee

Ferro - driving (left)
Caleb - front passenger (right)
Varis - rear passenger (right)
D'Arcy - rear passenger (center)

Tim - on the roof of Humvee
Polish operative - on the roof of Humvee
(maybe they thought there wasn't enough seats for everyone)

Re: OOC Thread - 12

Hey all,

The turn for both groups is done and will be posted in about 2 hours when I get home. It will be the last turn before everything is resolved and the unit whole again. I just need a concluding round from JJM's group.

As mentioned, we're going to skip ahead a couple weeks until everyone is healed. Please consider some things the group will do in the interim and "off camera". Hopefully it will resume with a target in sight for the Mad Dogs to focus on... as I know a few players don't care much for the slow pace stuff that's going on at the moment.

If possible I'd like to get the next turn up by Wednesday evening.

And please welcome back Dalen, who plays Owen Hollister.

Welcome back Dalen.



What downtime tasks do we want to do over the next couple of weeks?  I can think of the following (in no particular order):

 - Explore the buildings around Kaminski's compound and salvage what we can - unless we salvage something of particular use we should then sell/trade everything
 - Check on the condition of Morgan, Cooper and Tosh in the hospital and try to improve their morale
 - Get Tosh's LMG fixed, even if he isn't able to return to duty (funds allowing)
 - Get the maintenance completed on the vehicles
 - Get a replacement windscreen for the M988 Humvee and fix any other damage (funds allowing)
 - Buy a case of 40mmN grenades (funds allowing)

Can anyone think of anything else that we could add to that list?

Ta,

Andy

Welcome back Dalen.


In reply to Luis Ortega (msg # 464):

Fuse was detailed in the description of Kaminski's place. If I was to predict I think it will be relevant to us in the future so I think we should allot some time and resources to it. Some things I remember is that the roof repairs are crappy and unsuitable for the winter and the walls don't do much.

Some ideas?

Fix roof
Add water pump
Add heat source (markets sell local made wood stoves remmember)
Make walls more defensible (wire? sandbags?)
Add vehicle obstacle at main gate
Dig more trenches (we have only one) or reinforce the building

No worries.  The risk now that you're back on RPOL, in my opinion, is to over commit yourself to too many games.  I personally find it better to be heavily invested in a couple of games rather than spread to thin in a load of games as I find that I get more out of a game if I put more effort into it.



Owen/Marshall - don't worry about finding your way to the hospital.  You've got Anna in the Humvee now....... <G>

1) about 20 meters.

2) they don't seem to be aware of you - yet. You kinda blend in with the small crowd of women and perhaps they have tunnel vision... it's not every day that a shipping container washes up full of "exotic" food. It's only a matter of time before they do, though.

3) Done.

Both vehicles are on site.

One is damaged, yes, and can only drive a short distance before the engine overheats and suffers greater damage. It may be leaking fuel too.

The fort is (without being able to access my map) maybe 3-4km. It's due east of here, over by the old bus terminal where the socially discriminated folks live and by the Nowe Orody neighborhood - where you fought a couple battles.

Which vehicle is each group taking?

Yes, it was. its up on a forested hill overlooking the city.

More trivia - the small civilian and militia outpost there was eliminated on the eve of the pact assault... possibly by these same commandos. You saw the aftermath and heard of this from Methusulah (who was sent up to find out why contact with the outpost was lost).

I'm a little confuzzled.  Which Humvee is which?  Is the armored one with the Ma Deuce the one that is damaged, or is it Grady's.  Which one is with which group?  Also, what machine gun does Grady's have now (I seem to recall we traded away the old Russian gun)?

Fuse - I assume that Ortega is out of radio range of JJM?  I got the impression that we travelled several miles in the boat but I just want to double check.

EDIT - also was the sound of the bad violin playing coming from this room or somewhere else?  Is there a violin obvious with the German?  Essentially I'm trying to work out whether there is a second person present.

And yes the plan is to take the weapons and ammo - as Krupp assumed in his first post we're trying to appear as IB renegades so leaving the weapons would be too "nice" - if we leave the weapons it makes the civilian's story weaker.

The fact that we need the trade value is a bonus........<G>

BTW, Ortega will examine that single shotgun shell in case it's a fake and is actually a little storage container for something.

Re: OOC Thread - 12

Message to the player of Walter Krupp - Is this a character that you're looking to have join the Mad Dogs?  I ask because you're currently alienating Walter and him joining is going to become un-feasible (in my opinion).  He seems like an interesting character but Ortega is on the verge of leaving him on the beach.

Sorry to sound like an arse but with an established group of characters you need to make us want to recruit you.  Currently you're not doing that and in fact you're achieving the reverse.

From my experience of gaming with Fuse, just because Walter is a PC doesn't mean that we (the rest of the players) have to accept him to the group if in doing so it stretches the credibility of the game too far.....

True, but I was kinda gambling on Ortega not wanting to fail his mission to retrieve him over being irritated at him. The only connection that Krupp has to the group is Wright. Whatever supplies or information that Krupp has he's not going to dump on a couple of perceived bandits or hired guns from Wright...who still owes him a considerable debt. So...I was figuring...Ortega would at least wait till he knows what's really going on with this guy before he decides to ditch him in the river or hit him.

Unfortunately Ortega's mission isn't to retrieve Krupp.  This is literally all that Ortega knows:

John Jameson McCarthy:
"Sunray to Delta," he said, "prepare for change of mission. Delta is to drop off security at St. Mary's and then return ASAP to base on a special mission. Delta may choose two operatives to accompany him. Take the Zodiac and proceed ASAP to the Westerplatte, and head over to the western beach to some houses. They're the only ones standing. You are to find a Walter Krupp who has something to tell us and a potential for some kit. Treat him nicely, please."

There's nothing about retrieving Krupp there, just being told some information.

He could be persuaded to trade for the info though.

You are a rude and aggressive man. These are things which to not endear yourself with new acquaintances. I have the location of a fuel cache, which I would be willing to trade for you taking me to Wright, and an appropriate share of this food you are salvaging from from this container.

Meyer translated that as:

quote:
"He says that you are rude and aggressive and that you are not making him like you," Meyer explained to Ortega through a half smile.  "He says that he knows the location of a fuel cache and that he would be willing to trade that for us taking him to Wright plus a fair share of the food we're salvaging from the container."

No, it is the entire exchange, like a slow sloping downhill run. I keep looking for ways to improve the exchange without compromising the character. You show up and I guess assume the wright has some control over this person and he is just going to cough up info or stores to complete strangers just cause they said wright said he had these things, then scoff at his offer of information and make absurd demands and conditions after that. You could have just taken him to wright, that alone would have set the tone, not like you guys can't handle one man with a pistol. You are going to extract payment? No. Not just not but hell no. I'll find another way.

Re: OOC Thread - 12

In reply to Walter Krupp (msg # 537):

OK - but you've given me nothing to work with.  All you've done is insult Ortega and treat him and his men like minions.

Yes we turned up with a very flimsy reason for being there but you've not given me any reason to take Krupp to Wright.  You've made it sound like it's just a business relationship between them so why would Ortega take a merchant (Krupp) to find a spy (Wright) so that he can demand payment.  That's hardly going to endear Ortega to Wright!  You need to give me a better reason than that.  If Krupp had said "The information I have is only for Wright, I have to give it to him," then that would have generated a much more positive reaction.

Currently I'm faced with an arrogant German who is making demands that Ortega isn't prepared to meet.  You've complained about me forcing you to compromise your character.  Well you shouldn't expect me to compromise mine either.

You're also playing a character who doesn't speak any English.  That is going to be a total nightmare in the group and is actually something that will prevent Krupp joining the group long term.  We're a military unit so if Krupp doesn't understand the orders that are given out he's a danger to himself and the rest of the unit and it would be better for everyone's safety if he wasn't there.

I suspect though (basically because I know that Fuse insists that all new characters speak a common language in the team) that Krupp speaks either English or Polish.  Therefore the whole problem of this started with you insisting that he only speaks German and causing a whole communication issue.  You're complaining about inaccurate translation by Meyer but you created the situation where translation was necessary.

Re: OOC Thread - 12

I understand about you needing to play your character how you have to play your character.  But the situation is what it is. He doesn't have any information for wright. He has information, but everything has a price....a price Ortega has made it clear he isn't willing to pay, further complicated by demanding things that Krupp can't possibly provide..at least not immediately. So it's played out. I am out of ideas. The character is going to collect as much food as he can, then prolly make his way into the city on his own to find write. You aren't part of wrights normal crew which means he is either in trouble or too busy. If he's in trouble there are a few places to look. If he is busy...they have done business before so likely have a way to get ahold of each other under normal circumstances.

Re: OOC Thread - 12

I'm on my phone at work so my replies and interaction are rather limited until late this evening. Right now though I'd like to call a time out in the ooc discussion.

Things have gotten off on a rocky start, but its not like that doesn't happen IRL so let's not let it sour things OOC.

In the upcoming turn the militia show up. It was only matter of time for that and I assume it was expected.

I was going to have the group make a hasty escape under fire in the zodiac to give Luis and Walter a chance to ease off each other. This way we can allow them to have a fresh start with a better perspective on each person's positions, wants, and expectations. I need to clarify some of those, as well.

Krupp can delete his last ic action or keep it and I'll try to accommodate for it. Either tway the militia are arriving as expected.

Re: OOC Thread - 12

Fuse,

Ortega would have put down some covering fire to slow the pursuers so I'm going to knock off six rounds.  He would have aimed to miss/suppress if that makes sense.

Please can you add all of these to the team equipment list:

1x M231 Port Gun (2x 30rnd mags w/39 rounds 5.56mmN)
1x SVT-40 Rifle (2x 10rnd mags w/55 rounds 7.62mmL)
1x Revolver (11x rounds .38cal)
1x Fish carving knife
1x Hunting knife

We will probably trade a lot of it during downtime but it should go into the stores for the present.

Ortega is keeping the shotgun shell containing pills for the moment and I'll add it to his gear.

With the food I think that you said that we've managed to obtain 66 man days of food.  Is that correct?  If it is please can you add it to the stores.  Please note that with the food we are eating to fresh food first, then the salted fish and are keeping the preserved food till last to try to build up a stockpile in case we want to go on a trip somewhere.

Any food that Krupp took for himself is obviously separate at present.

Ta,

Nope. Per's had Varis' radio since Varis was out wounded. I keep forgetting to have Varis ask for it back when the gang's all together and I don't want to fudge it.

Turn up... a nice mix of great rolls and terrible ones.

Please update any ammo fired.

Next turn should go up Wednesday evening, though this one is a few hours late so Thursday might be more suitable... we'll see how it goes.

I think that since I've made multiple reference to it being an M4A1 and/or its full auto capability without anyone catching it or saying anything up to now that it should stay that way.

Hey all,

I had a hardware failure on my pc and had to take it into the shop. I have alternate uses to get online, but my ability to put up proper turn posts is going to be limited. This might last until mon or tues.

In addition, I'll be on vacation for a week starting Friday. For most of he week I wont be in civilization so there will be a break in the game on my part. I wanted to resolve everything before then, but the temporary loss of my pc might make that impossible.

If it comes down to it I might just throw up some basic summaries for each turn.

Fuse/everyone,

Sorry for my absence (particularly to Krupp and Per).  I'm catching up now.

One question.  If Ortega gets on the radio now to JJM will JJM (or any other Mad Dogs) be able to hear him?  They're not back yet so I'm not sure whether they're in radio range or on the same time frame as Ortega et all.  I just want to be sure that I'm not going to create a continuity error by posting a radio message.

Does that make sense?  Or am I over thinking things?

Ta,

Andy.

OK the turn is done, I just need to wait until I get home to post it. Mark, thanks for the reply, but I was in a rush and just had you drop him at the hospital. If that's OK with you I'll leave it in. His treatment won't cost you anything and the enemy made no moves so I don't think it changes anything.

It's the following day. I think this is a good time to skip ahead. I'll be away from the game for a week and things are quiet now in game as well. A week ought to be fine, though it's up to you.

Or you can cancel the down time and soldier on. Up to you.

Re: OOC Thread - 12

In reply to Fusilier (msg # 581):

I think that we could do with some downtime to let some of the wounded PCs heal up.  Exactly how long is dictated by how wounded people are.  Please can you give us an update on wounds and healing times.

It's also dictated by the amount of food we have and the number of people we're feeding.  I think that we need to double check the figures here as well, particularly with whether we're feeding certain people any more (e.g. Roy - if he's working at the hospital are they feeding him as a "payment"?).

I also started to put together a list a while ago of downtime tasks to do.  I'll dig that out and post it again.  If anyone has any tasks they'd like to do though then please say.

Thanks,

A week is sufficient for all to recover except Cooper (broken arm).

I'll try to put up a supplement turn tonight that will reflect some roster changes which will affect your numbers.

Since there isn't really any 'action' going on, I think it'll be best that any planning or such be done IC... to make it easier for anyone who might be drawing a blank for a turn post.

Re: OOC Thread - 12

Fuse:

Over the recovery period can we:

1) Heal up
2) Improve the defences a little: anti vehicle barriers, wire if we have it, reinforcing trenches etc.
3) Use the kit we don't need to pay back the Marians and get back whatever gold we can
4) Get the Humvee and BMP up and running well
5) Look in to fixing the quad KPV rig to the BMP (we won't necessarily have achieved this, but we'll know what we need to do to accomplish it
6) Chat with Kaminski to rent a couple of vehicles for the salvage operation until we can buy/liberate/salvage some of our own
7) If anyone has combat engineer, can we rig the Black Madonna case to explode when opened and leave it somewhere in the base where it can be easily nicked by an enterprising one handed commando...

I believe Varis has obtained an AK-74 or the Tantal equivalent, and may have returned Owen's M4A1E1.  I will need the ammunition expended by Varis replaced (this will bring the total up to 140 ( a full 20-round mag plus 6 spares)).

Fuse, in our two weeks down time did we do any training? I don't think anyone mentioned it but any chance we can retcon a bit? With all the fortifications building I was hoping to up my Combat Engineer a bit, and also throwing some rocks into the river to increase my Thrown Weapons.

Glancing at the PC sheets, it seems the unit is very low on qualified Cbt Eng types. O'Brien is the only guy with decent skill level (no instructing experience though) and one or two others with just 1 skill point.

Re: OOC Thread - 12

Tell me where you need Frank and I will apply him there.  He does have some INS skill and has been throwing a couple of extra XP into MED: Trauma Aid.  He probably wouldn't mind taking a level or two of CBE and would like to get some people some INS skill so they could teach or group teach some of our people.  Even willing to work with Marshall and learning some MEC skill or trying to improve his driving skill.

If not, just going to try and raise my combat skills up when I have the points.

OPen for suggestions everyone...

Re: OOC Thread - 12


I think we should put Krupp's AGS on the BMP instead of the quad KPV. I imagine that one would have to expose a large area of oneself to the enemy in order to operate the latter weapon system. With the AGS, the gunner could still keep most of his/her body inside the open turret ring.

Problem with the BMP is no turret ring. The mount will have to be rigged in front of the VC hatch.

Is it a purpose-built ambulance model? Maybe I'm thinking of the one we used to have that Jagelis got blown up in. I thought it was a troop carrier variant with the turret removed and serving as an ambulance. If the former, then you're right. If the latter, I'm sure a jury rig for it could be built on the edge of the turret hole.

Re: OOC Thread - 12

Before the status of the vehicles can be given, I need to know if the damaged Humvee was A) stripped for parts or B) repaired. I already made the rolls for both as this would have occurred during the downtime, but it's unresolved.

If you went with repairs, which got kinda costly, the following would have had to be traded...

M231 Port Gun x1
AK74 x1
RPG-7 Launcher x1
RPG-7 HEAT x2

These items above can't be modified, so it came down to deciding if you wanted to either lose some mobility or some anti-armor capability.

I'd say strip the Hum-vee. We can use the trade goods to help pay the Marians and buy fuel. Can we use the Hummer's weapon mount to put a gun on the top hatch of the BMP?

Yes. If you choose that, a fitting mount could have been fabricated that would support the MAG-58 GPMG.

That reminds me...

The damaged/stripped Hummer has the MAG MG (the working Hummer has the fifty).

So the MAG-58 needs a new home (the Iltis can take it or it can be carried but not mounted on the BMP).

Re: OOC Thread - 12

The only weapon I see that even comes close to a SAW is Per's HK-21 and I'm not saying we take that away from him.  Just pointing it out that to me, there appear's to be no other SAW's. MAG might be too heavy if we want to be fast on the ground so maybe we put it on the Iltis?

Who else in Ferro's Humvee and the civilian truck has a radio? I'm trying to figure out which of my PCs should have one. Per makes more sense as a scout/sniper but if no one else with Varis has one, then perhaps he should carry it.

Thanks. Does Kaminski have one? Either way, it looks like it makes more sense tactically for Varis to carry his radio on this op.

Re: OOC Thread - 12

Turn is up.

There was a brief encounter at the beginning of the turn that I just summarized and it won't be played out. I do need relevant players to deduct rounds fired though.

I also skipped the part about the motor oil - we can do that OOC. I rolled for Caleb doing the haggling and the final 'price' the guy wants is either:
A) 250x rounds of ammo
B) 1x Longarm
C) 3x man days of food

Hey guys,

I've gotten word today that Mark, who plays JJM, will have some sporadic posting over the next few days. I don't mind NPC'ing players, but JJM is different as I don't want to make command decisions for the group.

I was going to put up the turn tonight but would rather do it tomorrow after I've gotten some feedback OOC or IC (preferably IC) about what the group should do. Please voice some opinions, thanks.

Re: OOC Thread - 12

Got a chance to post:

My instincts are to :
1) Rig the minibus for towing
2) Put the dead in the minibus
3) All travel to the village to make sure the people we are escorting are safe
4) Review situation in village


As we do 1-2, we also find out what the shot was and react to that as needed.

If anyone else has any ideas, chip in, otherwise I'll post later saying that.

I know it's not the smart thing to do and if people want to do other things I'll go with the majority.

Otherwise we'll do what's right.

This isn't a charity we are running here. These people aren't our problem. Of they wanted a full escort they should have paid for one. We expose the unit to numerous risks by delaying the timeline. We can either stay true to the stated mission and reason for staying here and not trying to make evacuation, or we operate at a loss and spend precious resources and possibly personel babysitting the stupid and cheap.

Re: OOC Thread - 12

OK, vote wise it's down to Frank's call.

We still will have to send the Hum-vee to escort the mini-bus to town. What it constitutes is splitting our forces with a potential threat around.

The choices then are:

1) Do we split our forces and risk the Hum-vee being attacked without support?
2) Abandon the minibus to their fate and travel on together?

OK.

So depending on Frank's call we will either:

Proceed with the mission and let the Hum-vee escort the Minibus to the town on its own (I assume we can pick up Rawlinson and leave the others to rot)

OR

Recover minibus and all bosies and go as a group to the town and then try to find the marauders.

Frank, which will we go for (you may, of course have another course of your own)?

Ok, turn is up. I may have misunderstood the burial plans, but I don't think what I wrote affects it any.

Here is a overview of the surrounding area.

The overturned truck with the munitions is underneath the bridge where there is a rather steep gulley - accessible by the dirt track/road shown on the map or from the rail line if you are careful.

The rail line is elevated as is the section where you camped.

Re: OOC Thread - 12

I need to clean up the Intel thread and make it usable again. In the meantime I'll post some info that relates to rumors and news you picked up regarding Starogard Gdanski and the local area.

Heavily damaged and uninhabited. It's occasionally patrolled by troops from the Polish 12th Cavalry Division providing security to Route 22, which is the MSR between Malbork (Baltic Soviet Western TVD HQ & Soviet Baltic Front HQ) and Pila (1st Polish Tank Army HQ). Snipers present.
Source: Weaver (US Special Forces near Osiek)

Kurt listens to whatever Billy has to say, showing particular interest about the south which is where he and his boss are heading with a shipment of machine parts. He then explains that he deserted from a group of Germans who he claims slowly turned to marauding - "after our supplies ran out and contact was lost with the rest of our company." Last he knows, they're still operating somewhere near Starogard Gdanski. They have a working Marder AFV and about a dozen able bodied men. Kurt also figures that his former companions won't think twice about hitting Billy's unit if they feel they have an advantage - "regardless of whatever uniform you're wearing." In addition to the rogue German unit, Polish troops from Tczew routinely patrol Starogard Gdanski as well, but Kurt claims the city still has a great deal of salvage opportunities for anyone who goes poking around. A large amount of war material is just lying around waiting to be picked up - "including an old Canadian vehicle repair depot."
Source: Kurt (German deserter/mercenary in Nowe)

Also, though I'll be repeating it in the current turns, Msg #847 in Chapter 11 details the area on your first arrival. Here is a pic showing the bridge and steep gully.

Re: OOC Thread - 12

Turn is up. Couple points...

Mark told me that he'll probably be out of comms for this turn. Assuming he won't be able to post for a bit, I'd like one or more players to step up to the plate and make some group decisions on JJM's behalf.

I need to know where your sentry points are.

Right now Kolstrup and Caleb are holding position at #4 on the map, but that was just me filling in the turn. Are they staying or moving, and are you going to set up more sentry positions? If so, where?

I'll also need to know who's doing what? Kaminski proposed you split into 2 basic shifts - one works and the other fills in the sentry positions. If you're ok with that, I'd like to know who is on which shift and is anyone opting out? Or do you have your own plan?

Extra XP for anyone who steps up to the plate and fills in for Mark while he's away.




For the map, the rail line is elevated above everything else, with "steep" slopes on the north side and much more gradual slope on the south side. The river under the bridge is in a deep gully, with very steep slopes for about 100m to the north and south of the bridge - impassable to any sort of vehicle and even difficult for people.

All trees are mostly leafless - reducing concealment.

A thorough sweep of the forest between the edge of the lake/pump house and the rail line.
Kaminski's proposal is sound. I would put a sentry post on either side of the bridge and move the op into the forest closer to the village. Obviously the rail lines are the most probable approach for anyone stumbling into our recovery efforts.

A roving circular patrol taking in all sentry points as well as the pump station and maybe the edge of the village ? Thoughts.

I'm a little hesitant opening up a potential combat situation with so many PCs absent, but I'm going to go with it anyways.

The map doesn't show the terrain features very well, but as mentioned, the river is in the deep gully with steep sides. The slope gets more gentle down around where the roving patrol is and beyond.

The RR tracks are elevated a little above the surrounding areas as well.

The field to the west of you slopes a little downward towards the south before rising upwards again past the wooded brook.

The woods are getting bare of leaves too.

Sorry for my slowness. I was away but I thought that I'd have plenty of time to get the turn up.

Please account for your ammo fired and start adding in combat tags... they make things easier than having to look up and sort through everyone's weapons, or guessing how many rounds are fired, or at who. Thanks.

Ferro:
Ferro glanced into the rear view mirror and noted the lack of a gunner standing behind her. She wasn't sure if the Major was aware her Humvee was undermanned. She could stop and then climb back there to get behind the gun if needed but thought the Major should be aware of the vehicle's limitations anyways. Ferro then radios back "Sunray... will move but the Humvee is without a gunner. Over.

And gun for that matter correct?

New maps (for current turn):

Detailed Positions For Mad Dogs

1. Lines      5. Marshall  6. Krupp   7. O'Brien
2. JJM                                8. Hollister
3. Wilson                             9. Kolstrup
4. Aleksandar

10. Dug in GPMG (Ortega/Caleb/Fox)
11. Rear Sentry Point (Meyer/Morgan)




Area Map

Enemy #1 - in the field. Gone to ground and no longer visible. Has no cover from fire, only concealment in the grass. His partner with the binoculars was hit by either Wilson or Varis. He's armed with an AK series rifle and what appeared to be a disposable AT rocket on his back.

Enemy #2 - on the tracks (near). He was partially sheltered by the horses and is no longer visible. He's either behind the bullet/shrapnel riddle body of one of the animals or on the other side of the elevated train tracks. No further details are know about him. His partner, still mounted when the shooting started, was knocked from his horse by either Hollister, or somewhat less likely Tosh - though the Brit eliminated all of the mounts.

Enemy #3 - on the tracks (far). He was partially sheltered by the thin row of trees that border the tracks and is no longer visible. He's somewhere in the brush and no further details of him are known, though it's possible that he may have been injured by a nearby explosion. His partner was taken out either by Billy or JJM.

Re: OOC Thread - 12

Hey GM, I looked at the map but want to ask. Would it be suicidal to go forward instead of back? To floor it and race across the bridge and then down the hill (going south) I mean?

I assumed it might because it is a BMP and that it would be a bad idea to get closer... but once we are across the bridge and down the hill it will have a hard time engaging us wouldn't it? Does the BMP gun depress low enough for that elevation? And would we be able to gain enough speed to make it more difficult to hit?

I may alter my turn depending on your response.

Re: OOC Thread - 12

In reply to Ferro (msg # 712):

If you go backwards, you'll still face BMP fire until you either A) get off the tracks by moving back far enough (more than one turn) or B) back into the trees. The latter would "trap" you back in the vehicle hide. Backing up won't add more meters to the range either because the BMP is advancing... keeping the range bracket roughly the same unless it stops. It also assumes the Iltis gets out of the way and you pass a driver check for reversing in a confined area.

The Humvee going forward will drop the range bracket and make it easier for you to be hit, but assuming you aren't shot up on the bridge, going down that hill will (momentarily at least) put you where they can't hit you. Going down the hill will also require a pass on a rather difficult driver roll. That shouldn't really to worrying with Ferro's skill level... but a failure could mean rolling the Humvee and Frank might get ejected or pancaked.

I was going to do the turn tonight, but will hold off until you've decided if you want to change things.

The PTRS-41 as far as I'm aware is in the trailer. The trailer was left behind for mobility reasons, and due to oversight, I don't think anything was mentioned of taking the PTRS-41 out at that time.

I'm open to correction of course.

Same goes with the AGS-17... which also has no ammo (it just has the ammo drums).

Correct. Thanks for that.

Offhand point in case it interests anyone, the RR tracks lead to Tczew, a significant cantonment. In the other direction they go towards the Green Berets/Polish rebel troops at Osiek. You know from your past visit in that area, that Warpac forces have been fighting a low level offensive against those NATO forces. Its possible these guys are returning from field operations... and weren't out hunting bandits and salvage parties from Gdansk.

Re: OOC Thread - 12

I'm not going to include a map this turn, as only JJM has a one (an actual map) and the unit is spread out over a lot more ground than each subunit is aware of. You should have to visualize it.

You know the bridge is at the NW corner of Starogard Gdanski.

The Humvee & flatbed are to the SW of the bridge.

The Iltis and BMP-Ambulance are to the E of the bridge.

The enemy are W of the bridge.




@JJM - I can PM you a map if JJM wants to dig his out and look at it, but that will take up your next turn's action.

Both.

It's 300 meters from you to to the bridge:
-200m of that is along a road flanked by buildings (mostly ruin).
-The last 100m of road is across open ground or a mix of open with some sparse trees (closer to the water).

The industrial ruin starts 50m north of the opposite side of the bridge.

Anything else, such as fording options would need a closer look.

@ Fuse, Ferro, & Owen,

Per was supposed to go with Owen, with Tosh covering. Is Owen with Per? Also, Per doesn't currently have a radio so, unless Owen's with him and has his own radio, Per won't be able to talk to/hear the others.

I think Per's role, weapon, and rank means he should have the radio instead of Varis. I'll have to figure out a way to make that happen IC when the groups are reunited.

Turn is mostly up. I'll finished the last section and get some maps up either tonight or tomorrow noontime.

Also, I deleted Marshall's last post and edited Frank's, as those two PC's and their vehicles aren't actually together. It's the Humvee and Flatbed - and the Iltis and BMP-AMB.

Re: OOC Thread - 12

Updated map. I've colored in the facings of the two suspect buildings to help illustrate LOS. You have to be looking at the particular facing to see anything inside the building. Unless the target is out on a balcony, you really have to be looking directly at it (as much as possible) to see anything inside. Even's Kolstrup's current view of the southern building isn't at a very good angle (less than 45 degrees).



The building that Kolstrup is on. Note that lying on the lower section close to the higher section keeps you covered against threats at higher elevation on the right flank (top of image)... which is also in the direction of the southern tall building.



Example of one of the two tall buildings.

Hey all,

Turn is up. Sorry it's a little late... after I got back in town from the funeral I had to catch up on some things around home. Next turn should go up without any trouble on Friday night.

The maps are pretty much the same for most PCs. Lemme know if you don't know where you are.

JJM/Varis - approaching the Humvee (consider this turn to be with that group).

Hollister - NE corner of the rubble you were heading to.

Caleb/Krupp - same location pretty much, but turned around and facing NE.

Stopped it here for reasons that your PC may or may not be aware of (via PMs). Please deduct any ammo fired last turn, thanks.

I've updated radio/NOD battery use for the last few turns/encounter. In this turn can you indicate in your post whether or not your PC's radio or NOD will be in use for the current road move.

@JJM - I assumed there would be scouts checking the choke-point and RR crossing based on the comments made in your PM regarding the route.

@All - XP has been added.

Ortega's helmet is knackered and he has a set of AN/PVS-7 NVGs.  Am I correct that these would be mounted on an attachment on his helmet rather than strapped onto his head?  And can the attachment on his helmet be adapted to be worn on the head?

In reply to Luis Ortega (msg # 802):

They're attached to a mounting bracket. No, to be worn on the head (without a helmet) you need a separate harness unit that nobody has.

The helmet is still wearable, so there's no reason to discard it at the moment when it still has use holding NVGs. Alternatively, he can use the NVGs like you would with binos - carried by hand and periodically viewed through when needed.

That looks good. All are accounted for it seems (my count was 19 - including Kaminski and Artur, but no Anna).



I put up the turn early. The last one didn't really give anyone much to do but mount up... I didn't expect you to go looking for a fight. The end of this turn might seem limiting as well, but once I know if you'll keep going or stop, things should broaden up some.

Note on this map X1 is not occupied at this time

Re: OOC Thread - 12

How far is this patrol going forward?

Alan went as far as the edge of the treeline - just south of the t-junction. He could see the area around far intersection (2km), but no details.

The ground between the treeline and the intersection is mostly flat, barren fields, pockets of brush, and dotted with farms and houses (mostly along the the main road but also a cluster on the left) in various states (intact/ruins/razed).

The ground slopes down a little towards the river but generally rises as you go north.

Yes. It's a covered approach (all of it). You might be too low in some places to see, in addition to dealing with obstructions like buildings and vegetation, but there should be a few spots where you can see.

If you decide this, please let me know the max distance you'll go... so I don't put you somewhere too far than you might have wanted.

Alan Little:
Alan began to plain out an approach route in his head using the buildings as cover.


Which would be this here shaded green... the most direct path towards the enemy, using the scattered farm buildings in the middle as cover.

Alternatively you could go north through the trees and then northwest all the way to the highway... though it would take a fairly long time. West of the "NO LOS" zone is partial visibility (many gaps) between the treeline and intersection.

Re: OOC Thread - 12

I don't have a plan of attack that doesn't have us losing at least one vehicle and taking losses unless the enemy have been really stupid.

Thus, I'm asking for ideas.

Mine include:

1) Sending a group back to the village we passed to see if they have fuel we could use for bypassing the position.
2) Waiting for night and trying a stealthy attack.
3) Pushing snipers forward and then charging in all guns blazing.

Let me know what you think and please come up with something better.

They have a truck... a 1/2 ton pickup/flatbed. Like you they are short of fuel, with enough to get to their objective (Gdansk airport) to do some salvage and then to a populated area for sale (either Gdansk or Gydnia).

I apologize, but I missed JJM's IC comment about the fuel. To save time, I can say the option to buy fuel in the village 2km away is no good, as there is none there.

Re: OOC Thread - 12

Ok, an alternate suggestion from Tosh (Ortega would never propose this).

If we need extra fuel then we take it by force from the Polish merchants who were with Alan and use the extra fuel from them to bypass the enemy position.  That might prompt Alan to not join us but we're in a tough situation and a frontal assault is liable to result in the loss of life amongst the Mad Dogs so which is the least bad solution.......

Sometimes we have to make hard choices.

Re: OOC Thread - 12

It's a fair point t scale could be an issue. We need 130 litres just to get our vehicles through the bypass route. That's without Kamineski's truck which will need a lot as well.

The merchants have a 1/2 ton flatbed so unless they have a stash of jerry cans we haven't seen robbing them just doesn't cut the mustard and it seems pointless to ruin our reputation for 35 to 40 litres that will do us no good. Given how little we're going to get from this salvage mission, we might have to become robbers just to survive but I'd like to stave off the moment we begin to turn to the dark side.

Re: OOC Thread - 12

Another option to consider (though I'm not sure it really works):

We start the bypass route and find somewhere to hide.  One vehicle then takes enough fuel to get back to Gdansk where we buy sufficient fuel to get everyone back and then transports it back to where everyone is hiding.

We end up probably making a loss on the salvage run but we get back.  To mitigate some off the costs we charge the merchants with Alan a fee if they want to stay with us.

Unit assignments

Here are the units:

Scout Group: Ortega, Owen, Varis, Caleb and Little
Suppression Group: Hum-vee: Ferro: Driver, Frank: Gunner, JJ: Commander
M-Group: Iltis: Aleksander: Driver, Kolstrup: Gunner, Fox: Commander
         BMP: Krupp: Driver, Marshall: Commander
              Dismounts: Billy, Wilson, Meyer, Lines

Rae, I know Per is better at sniping, but I need an active gunner. I've also made Fox commander, he's just there to relay on the radio: you have de facto command of the vehicle.

Remember all, if you're with NPCs or inactive PCs, tell them what to do in your posts otherwise nothing will happen.

For instance, I'm not sure if anyone is active in the dismounts. If you are, you're in charge, fight your unit not just yourself.

Hopefull this won't get anyone killed.

Fix bayonets!

Re: Unit assignments

Map...

@Maneuver group - is this your route (in purple)? I understood the vehicles are to stop amidst the closest houses and dismount the infantry, correct? The difficult to see arrows indicate the path for the dismounted assault.


@Ferro/Frank - I marked 3 possible routes for you to approach the buildings in the middle ground, A B and C.

A is the quickest and easiest drive - but most exposed for longest period of time.
B is offroad on the field - offering the best concealment at the risk of driving into an unmarked minefield or encountering a driving mishap.
C is average of A and B's advantages/disadvantages.

Can you confirm the path (preferably in IC)? Thanks.


@Scouts - you probably want to do some repositioning...

E is Owen/Caleb's position while F is Luis/Varis/Alan's positions.

For ranges, note the 500m marker for the .50cal as a scale.

Yes, it's very possible, but it's going to take time. I assume you don't want to be seen so you're going to need to do some crawling in the open patches which is exhausting and very time consuming... more so if the ground is muddy and there are soggy areas to get through.

And even more so if you plan on waiting for Owen/Caleb to get through the forest and up to your position as well. In their case it might be better (if time is a concern) to have them move back to the group to reinforce the dismounted assault.

Edit - then again you are a ways out from the enemy and there might be nobody watching. You might be able to just walk over.


Not really... it would probably be just as much cover going NW from your current position.

Caleb and Owen could move up to the buildings at P6. We should be able to move up using them as cover, and that would give us a different angle on the enemy position. It will also be quicker.

Thoughts?

EDIT - I assume Owen has a radio. If not the Owen & Caleb are operating solo as they have no comms.

2nd EDIT - Our comms list is 2 years out of date! Any chance we can get a new one.

The comms list was updated 29 Oct... I think you were looking at the old radio call signs table. That is very outdated, but I keep the up to date on battery life for radios, night vision, and flashlights in the unit stores thread.

Billy 3 + 1 = 4
Lines 1 + 3 = 4
Wilson ? + ? = 4

All active characters will have four grenades each and two each for the NPC's. We have three left from those given by other characters. If Wilson can confirm how many he needs and everyone update their sheets. Thanks.

Re: Unit assignments

Turn is up... including some more PM sections to add to the fog of war. I've also PM'd the updated map to keep some things hidden as well.

Tip: remember that we give a bonus to sniper shots when another PC is successful taking a spotting action. The same applies to long range machinegun fire. Unfortunately, JJM can't do it (because of what he's already busy doing), but any other PC can make the attempt if they are in a good position to do so.

Please adjust for any ammo fire thanks. I had to make some GM calls on some things, but I tried to keep them as close as I could to what I believed were your intentions.

Re: Unit assignments

I'm going to post this image to help illustrate the primary position even though it's far from a perfect example. The position is similar to the top of a tower such as this... but dug down and partially below ground level. I tried to color that in.

It's also much larger than this image, with a diameter of twenty meters across. The depth is roughly the same, but probably a bit deeper in places such the middle - because you can see the top of a tent in the center.

The individual battlements are narrower than the image as well, which limits the defender's field of view when looking through them, but it makes the shooter a more difficult target. There's fewer of them as well.

The walls are sandbags, two deep (thickness) and several high except where there are gaps for battlements.

There doesn't look to be any entrance... you just climb over and into it.

Re: Unit assignments

The wall will be a longer term issue, at the moment the massive bridge overlooking us is something we've forgotten.

Work schedule (with man hours estimated from Challenge)

1) Obstacles (don't know, depends on what PCs want)
2) Overhead protection for slit trench: Phase 1: wooden frame: needs lumber and 10 hours work
   Phase Two: sandbags or packed earth: if we haven't got sandbags we'll build a roof frame for earth: 10 hours
3) Digging mortar pit: 8 man hours
4) Revetting mortar pit: 8 man hours
5) Zeroing in mortar and recording: 8 man hours: needs F.Obs or Heavy gun to supervise or complete
6) Roofing: 8 hours per 25m square (equal amount of time to scrounge supplies, I'm assuming we bought enough for four lots)
7) Insulating wires: 8 hours of electrical
8) Heat sump: 8 hours for trench/4 hours for piping/4 hours to fill with glass (if the kids get it)

That's 102 hours work: 96 without the electronics.

The three volunteers so far can work 10 hours a day for 30 man hours: that's three and a bit days to finish, more if we need to scrounge materials. After that, we'll need to scavenge up more roofing materials.

How does that sound for a start?

Re: Unit assignments

I've done some googling and the perimeter is 200m long with 115 meters vulnerable to vehicle attack.

It takes 150 man hours to build six meters of vehicle obstacle with the tools and materials we have so blocking the whole area is unfeasible. At present we can build one six meter stretch a day so we could build two or three blocks to slow down advance on the road and do the rest later. As an estimate, covering the whole needed perimeter would take twenty days with four men, less as a whole team and we'd still need to defend the entrance.

The north side is blocked a little by the bridge so wire and mines might do there.

As for the fence, would building structures at the corners that could be manned help. I can't remember the name now but little redoubts to cut out blind spots like the Vauban Forts?

A redan? I believe they would work. If you built bunkers at the corners, out/away from the wall, they could have wide LOS to keep the wall clear of attackers. The wall has holes, plenty of them, but you can't really see well through them or have a clean shot unless you are right up against it. A tunnel beneath the wall could provide access to each one.

There's also concertina wire to think of. It's a quick method to deny ground as well and isn't a serious burden on manpower to set up... though it doesn't help much if you are concerned about vehicular attack.

Re: Unit assignments


Billy was thinking of using stakes and the barbed wire at ankle height with some AP mines mixed in to deny the open ground once attackers were inside the fence. He could set them up anywhere it is needed so he could cover the weak areas of the fence, just depends on how much wire we brought. We could also include some pit stakes and caltrops.

Cheapest and quickest vehicle obstacle are telegraph poles at 90 degrees in the road.

Re: Unit assignments

I don't believe you'll be able to create much a minefield as there are only 12 mines on hand. At the lowest density given in the rulebook, the mines could be used for a single 10m x 10m patch and even then only give a 10% chance of a target triggering one.

The (land) perimeter is 200m long.

Re: Unit assignments

The land perimeter is long so we want to channel attackers into what few mines we have.

My assessment of the ground is as follows:

Northern perimeter:
Close to the bridge and river, not likely to be under attack from vehicles. It's a prime candidate for wire and anti-personnel barriers.

Western Perimeter from the river to the gate:
Covered by the scrap yard/warehouse. This prevents easy access for vehicles and again can get by with anti-personnel stuff. Vehicles can access it but have to cover our killing ground first.

Western Perimeter from gate to corner:
This is wide open to vehicular attack. Long term plans are:
1) Build three blocks on the road to slow vehicle approach
2) Build extra blocks and pits on the open area to catch attacking vehicles (the pits will be concealed but some ditches had double role: we'll make covered bottoms with pungi sticks in them so if attacking infantry decide to use them for cover they'll have a surprise)
3) Anti-vehicle block along the 60m of vulnerable perimeter. This will be wooden boxes backed by anti-vehicle posts and filled with the earth in front of them which will make a ditch. This will stop wheeled vehicles and slow tracked but not stop them.

This is all very long term though. For now we need to look tough enough that most people will look for easier targets and we need to focus on making the base habitable for winter. Having great defences isn't much use if we're freezing to death.

Fuse, when we were based in the school, did it still have its radiators, and what style were they? At that period over here schools often had the big old cast iron systems heated by a boiler. That might be a source of salvage.

Re: Unit assignments

Turn is up and covers 10 hours. I'll be adding a supplement to where the smugglers arrive in the evening and you can decide if you want to do business with them.

You need to decide on a bid to sell the dual-KPV weapon system to the F.Union as your sale is in competition with other dealers. Tell me what you want as payment and I'll roll the dice for the result. Since he was just on a "browsing" trip, Ortega will need to return tomorrow and drop off the gun system/see if the Mad Dogs' bid was accepted.

You are offering:
1x ZPU-2 (Dual KPV and ZU-23-4 mount)

You want (see the post for list of available items):

No. They don't usually buy weapons and they prefer smaller items for exchange. They like to sell weapons for spendable currency like gold, silver, tobacco, fuel, bullets, medicine, etc. They get their weapons to sell by "other means".

Also remember their prices are high. Unlike the FU, the smuggler's trade will be for profit. The FU just want to put their new boat in the water so it will be a fairer deal - except that it's in competition with others.

Yes, I gave a list in the turn post of items the FU have to offer in exchange. Select from the list and the amount you want in exchange for the KPV system.

You are making a bid vs the bids of others... who are also trying to sell heavy weapons to the FU. It's like a silent auction.

Medium. Note that it's the parts to build a still. You need to do that on your own... but you have people who have the skill. Minor point.

Re: Unit assignments

Fuse,

Several trading questions for you:



I assume that the prices from the smugglers are "per item" so the following is correct:

3x .50cal Link Case of 105   - $100 per case for a total of $300.

I'm 99% sure that's what you mean but please can you confirm?



What price will the FU Ketch Captain sell us preserved fish for (including crates to transport it in)?

And if the quantity is substantial will they deliver it to Kaminski's?



Will Makarewicz (the Fisherman Union warehouse captain) trade any of the following for preserved fish and if so what price will he give us?  Ortega would have visited him while waiting for the zodiac to return.

I think that we can supply containers.

AK-47 (Poor Condition) x3
Kbk Tantal (No Stock) x1
SVT-40 Rifle x1
Radom Hunter SA Rifle x1
Mosin–Nagant BA Rifle x1
PM-63 RAK Submachinegun x1 & 25rnd mag x1
M231 Port Gun x1
M9 Pistol x1 & 15rnd mag x1
Revolver .38 WIFAMA x1 & .38cal rnds x11
K-Bar x1
Bayonet (AK) x1
Combat knife w/sheath x1
Hunting Knife x1
Fish carving knife x1

Everyone (including NPCs) - if there is something on the list above that you want please say before we trade it away.



Ta,

Andy.

Re: Unit assignments

I'm having a stab at trade values here.

Smugglers:
They're operating a nearly 100% mark up on weapons and a 300-500% mark-up on ammunition.

Given the fact that she's expensive, I'm hoping that if we offer our mortar bombs at 150-200% mark-up that'll she'll take the offer. It should be a good one because the 81mm rounds can be used in Eastern or Western mortars so they can be sold to anyone with either an 81mm or 82mm mortar.

I propose a price of $100 per mortar round with a bottom price of $75.

I'd also propose getting the:
Carl Gustav: $1500
3 boxes of .50 cal: $300
1 box of 14.5mm: $150
1 box of 7.62mmN Belted: $165

For a total of $2115

That means we offer 21 mortar bombs initially but go up to 28 rounds at worst and give them something for the $15 if they take 21 and forget about the $15 if they hold out for more.

As for the Fisherman's Union, Closed Auctions are tricky. The two guns are worth $3000 each and the mount between $1000 and $2000 so a maximum of $8000. If we cut our profits too much there's no point selling it so what if we break it into instalments that allow the FU to spread the cost:
1) Down payment of the makings of a medium still ($2000, I'm assuming that the extra $500 of the cost would be labour) and 200 days of food ($1000)
2) After that, the FU will supply us with 100 days of food every week from the start of November until the end of January. That's $2,000 a month for three months.
3) That would cost the FU a total of $9000 which is a bit more expensive than the original price but has the benefit of only having to face up $3000 initially. After that the payments are almost inconsequential for the FU.
4) To sweeten the deal we can point out that the two extra spaces on the mount represent the potential to upgrade if they can buy more KPVs and we can offer them any KPVs we find along the way at a set price of $3000, bearing in mind that prices are probably going to go up over the winter.

If they FU accept the deal, we have solved our food issues until February as we only have to find two days food a week: if we have to we can run on short rations. We'll also be able to produce 35 litres of fuel a day which isn't great but gives us some self-sufficiency.

What do you all think?

Re: Unit assignments

I've been thinking about this as well and I have a slightly different approach that has the disadvantage of not giving us a future income of food but does resolve everything now.

I think that the trade is looking like the following:

Sell to Makarewicz (the Fisherman Union warehouse captain):
AK-47 (Poor Condition) x3
Kbk Tantal (No Stock) x1
SVT-40 Rifle x1
Radom Hunter SA Rifle x1
Mosin–Nagant BA Rifle x1
PM-63 RAK Submachinegun x1 & 25rnd mag x1
M231 Port Gun x1
M9 Pistol x1 & 15rnd mag x1
Revolver .38 WIFAMA x1 & .38cal rnds x11
K-Bar x1
Bayonet (AK) x1
Combat knife w/sheath x1
Hunting Knife x1
Fish carving knife x1
Total value: $TBC

Buy from Makarewicz:
Preserved fish - $TBC

Trade to the Captain of the FU ketch:
KPVx2 in a quad mount – KPVs have a book value of $3000 each and estimate the mount at $1000 gives us a total of $7000

Buy from the Captain of the FU ketch:
Parts for a medium still – book value complete is $2500
Preserved fish - $TBC

That should give us a still to use and hopefully a decent amount of preserved fish.  We can then do the following:

Buy from the Smugglers:
Carl Gustav M2 Launcher x1 - $1500
.50cal Link Case of 105 x3 - $300
14.5mm Link Case of 100 x1 - $150
RPG-7 HEAT Round x1 - $100
7.62mmN Link Case of 600 x1 - £165
Total value: $2215

Paying with preserved fish if possible and mortar rounds if we need to.

Additionally I think that we might need to consider selling the AGS-17 as we don’t have any ammo for it.  If we could trade it to the Captain of the FU ketch as well as the KPVs then I think that we should look to buy the following as well from the smugglers:

SPG-9 73mm Recoilless Gun x1 $2700
73mm HEAT x8 - $4,400
73mm HE x2 - $500

That’s going to cost us a lot more than the fish we gain for the AGS-17 so we’ll have to trade a number of the mortar shells but it would at least give us a heavy weapon with ammo.

One alternative is to sell the mortar and shells entirely.  Do we actually have anyone in the Mad Dogs who can both use a mortar and wants their character to take on that role?  If your character is capable of using a mortar (Heavy Artillery skill) and you want to do that in the game please speak up now.

What do you think?

Andy.

Re: Unit assignments

Yes, price is per item.

You don't know how much the FU Ketch Captain will trade for. You're making a bid vs other bids. They would deliver if necessary.

Makarewicz (the Fisherman Union warehouse captain) is reaching the limit to how much fish he will sell you. You already bought a ton off of him and he has others to feed and needs to stock up on winter supplies. Fresh stocks ($5.50/kg is that price) might be easier to trade for, but preserved stocks are pretty much done.

The market sells grain/vegetables for $4.00/kg (not including fuel [wood/charcoal/coal] that's necessary to make some of it edible). The only downside is it's hard to buy in bulk there, to prevent hoarding and waste mostly, but also because of the stockpile each merchant has. For a group your size you can spend a day visiting multiple dealers and trade for three days worth each time from the lot.

Another option is to appeal to a larger power - the IB, F.League, or Marian Faction... like how before you were on the IB's ration plan. Each group will have different expectations from you and have you do different things that may or may not interfere with your own short or long term plans. Makarewicz for example mentioned raiding.

You have containers.

AK-47 (Poor Condition) x3 - $250
Kbk Tantal (No Stock) x1 - $250
SVT-40 Rifle x1 - $200
Radom Hunter SA Rifle x1 - $200
Mosin–Nagant BA Rifle x1 - $125
PM-63 RAK Submachinegun x1 & 25rnd mag x1 - $250
M231 Port Gun x1 - $250
M9 Pistol x1 & 15rnd mag x1 - $50
Revolver .38 WIFAMA x1 & .38cal rnds x11 $50
K-Bar x1 - $20
Hunting Knife x1 - $20
Fish carving knife x1 - $25

Thanks for this.

Just to double check that I understand correctly Makarewicz is prepared to pay in fresh fish at $5.50kg for all the items at the prices you've listed.  Correct?

If it is then trading all of the items above gives us a total value of $2190 which equates to just over 398kg of fresh fish.  If I remember fresh fish equates at 2kg per person per day for basic sustenance so that is 199 man days of food, which is too much fresh food because it will go off before we can eat it all.

I therefore think that we trade for 80kg of fresh fish for $440 which will give us 2 days of food for the unit.

Alternatively was Makarewicz interested in buying any of the weapons and paying with something different to fish?

Is this also ok to take from the stores as well?

Also, IC Ortega instructed Aleksander to take an AK-74 out of the stores and to switch his 5.56mm ammo and mags to 5.45mm ammo and mags.

Ta,

Andy.
