If it was damaged I would have mentioned it.

In reply to Fusilier (msg # 950):

Thanks. I just wanted to double check as I was absent for a while.

FYI, I've just edited my last IC post as Reggie to include a radio transmission to Kessler.

Ta,

Andy

Sorry about the missed day there. Turn is up and the map is updated.

Sorry, I've been full on all weekend. Will post tomorrow.

OK, I didn’t want to push things too far in one post, but broadly speaking Kessler’s intent / thinking this turn is to

Quickly Kolstrup and Czerny on the update on the enemy that Ferro gave after listening to their comms and the possibility of friendly reinforcements being inbound

Take on board any suggestions / feedback that they might have IC

Look at feasibility of Fischer and Andropov switching to Humvee Alpha (AFAIK Alpha has no crew and the Krok has very limited mobility so that makes a degree of sense to me)

If I’ve missed any comms then apologies. Things are still pretty hectic and I’m trying to post and work so it probably wasn’t my most profound post ever

Turn is up. I know it seems a little uneventful the last couple ones, I'm just trying to balance between giving you guys some actions during a pause in the fighting and moving things to the next event that occurs.

Anyone have any recommendations on where to move the Humvee to? Ot leave it in situ?

As long as the .50 gunner can see over the wall, it's not in a bad spot right now. It can cover the main road, the east, and even a slice of river (in case the gunboat returns).

Moved back to where it was, unless either the Krok can be manned again or Alpha can move to where Lobo was.

Can we get the Krok placed on the map? I was under the impression it wasn't far from Lobo's original position. Plus, the Krok's turret and armament are still fully operational, yes?

It's on the map, Jeff. Close to the gate.

In reply to Fusilier (msg # 961):

Oh shit, so it is. Lol! I didn't realize that it moved up that far. Okay thanks, Fuse.

In that case, I'm not opposed to bringing Lobo back to it's previous position on the western side. It will leave a bit of a gap on the southeastern side though unless we're able to have someone reposition to cover that area - that being the area we were overrun previously due to lack of coverage.

In reply to Jose Rodriguez (msg # 960):

The Krok's guns are still working. I thought having 1 x mobile fire support and 1 x immobile fire support was better than 2 x immobile. There was also a request to get the mortar into the battle.

I've been trying to think if there's anyone available to man the Krok's turret and the only name I came up with was Kessler. Maybe I should have left Fischer in situ and had Kessler go with Andropov but to be honest we'd need a Platoon to man all our heavy weapons at this stage.

Guys, we simply don't have enough people to cover everything.

Now that Per's on the roof I'll ask him to send Lines down. Lines can man the Krok's turret.

In reply to Michael Kessler (msg # 964):

Likewise, Jose can fire a mortar fairly well, but that would risk leaving Ferro on her own wherever Lobo ends up.

OK, so I've got two people suggesting to move the Humvee vs one saying leave it where it is.

I'm trying to draft a post now. So am I telling Kaminski to move it on the basis that the only way to cover that sector is then to switch people from somewhere else? Most likely Czerny and Voight?

Why don't we leave Lobo where it is and tell Alpha to move under its own power (if it can?)

Put another way, why faff about getting a Humvee hooked up to be towed, which is going to take time, if we have another Humvee that can move under its own power?

If Lines goes to the Krok I'm okay with Lobo staying where it's at.

I just didn't want to leave the main approach not covered with a protected heavy weapon.

Same. If Alpha can go there that's fine too.

Right, so we'll leave Lobo, have Lines man the KPV and keep Alpha as mobile reserve, with the option of Fischer and Andropov manning the mortar instead.

If Alpha isn't mobile Fischer and Andropov can make straight for the mortar pit.

Fuse, when you get a chance, please update the campaign map to reflect the current turn. Thanks!

I definitely will. I just can't do it for a few hours, the narrative and the rolls took me hours to figure out I got to go do something. It might be sometime tomorrow morning or in the afternoon.

In reply to Fusilier (msg # 972):

No prob. I wrote Varis' turn based on how imagined what's described in the narrative, so hopefully I visualized it correctly!

Map updated.

Varis' action was ok.
