Re: OOC Thread - 20
We're in a bind for sure. We have known enemies both east and west of us. South is unknown. North is what we believe might be a likely escape route for our objective.
While I'm certainly in favor of moving north to get our backs against a wall and cut off potential WA leadership escape, I think Jose at least has some more immediate concerns. Grant is currently treating Alex, and Jose only has the launcher at the moment, having dropped his AK. That means the 3 of us have our asses hanging in the wind, with at least one known hostile not far behind us, and we're basically just out in the open without cover.
A couple of thoughts -
1. I think it might be helpful to have the Krok back up a bit to put itself between us and the heckler, and potentially get Alex and Reggie inside to safety (probably worth the risk to move him at the moment, as stopping bleeding immediately won't do much good if we get shot next turn). If it re-orients north along the road but has the turret face west, the Krok could potentially cover the escape route, or at least have eyes on it, while keeping the trenches to our west covered at least somewhat (I'm unsure of the barrel depression capabilities on a BTR-80, so maybe not? But at least Jan would be there).
2. Jose needs a rifle or other weapon of some kind. That means either he goes back to the trench to secure a weapon that may no longer work, being full of mud, and also leaving Reggie/Alex exposed, or he asks Reggie for his rifle and some ammo. Not sure how you'd feel about leaving Reggie weapon-less though, Andy. Let me know if you have any thoughts on that?
