Please carry over here.

Before I reply to Per, who thinks we have time to sweep the compound for intel?

Should we take the time or push on?

I think we should push on and maintain pressure. Stopping could allow resistance to orgainise. I'll go with whatever people want though.

100% we should stop and sweep the farmhouse. I think we should have the main body link up with the scouts at the farmhouse if possible so we can search more thoroughly.

I’m not sure who we would push on against at this stage? We don’t have an objective as such and sending a team into the woods to try and hunt down any runners could end up with more people hurt / missing.

It might be obvious, since I suggested it IC, but I think we should at least give the compound a once-over to look for intel, even if it's just a five minute search.

Linking up in the dark, if we don't have a landmark to use for a rendezvous, is going to be difficult. The farmhouse is as close to a landmark as we've seen.

Even if the recon team conducts a search, and the vehicle group does press on, we'll need to link up eventually. I kind of need to see what happens next for the vehicle group before I develop an opinion on what it should do next.

Regardless of whether we choose to link up or stay separated for a while longer, what do you guys think about my idea of one or the other groups sending up another parachute flare so that we can figure out distance and direction between the two parties?

Does anyone have another parachute flare? It's a good idea but Jan just used his last one.

Fuse,

Am I correct that you can't fire aimed shots while wearing NVGs?

Ta,

Andy

In reply to Jan Czerny (msg # 5):

Varis does.

In reply to Varis Babicevs (msg # 7):

Superb. Does he have many? We need to get some more eventually I think.

Kessler has a flare pistol (Heckler & Koch P2A1) and seven flares. There's also 1 x Comet (Hand Held Single Shot Parachute Flare) stowed aboard the BTR.

Neither Kessler nor Walsh have any 40mm ILLUM rounds.

Varis has 2 illum rounds. If we're just signaling, I suggest we use Kessler's flare pistol.

In reply to Jan Czerny (msg # 6):

Correct. You can't aim properly so all shots are just worked out game mechanics-wise as "quick shots".

The advantage is that the shots are done at the actual range band it should be, as opposed to one range band further if you were firing in the dark without assistance.

One could "aim" with, for example, the use of an IR laser like a PAC-4. It's a little laser invisible to the naked eye that you fit to your rifle. You can "aim" even if firing from the hip with that thing because you just gotta line up the beam with the target. Or use a night-scope like Kolstrup has.
