Hank is going to make a call on this.  Since he is running security (tail-end Charlie), he's going to let Jose run the Skorpion from Tomasz and utilize his mags and the one from party stores (16/25 mag).  Since none of the Skorps or the DB shotgun doesn't have slings, he's going to have to much 'loose' shit with him to try and manage.

So, he will draw the DB shotgun, [33] 00 Buck & bandoleer, and one of the Soviet Lifcheck webbings for this operation.  Running security & breacher, he can have his AKMS slung while concentrating on the task, if needed.

- Sweater [x1]:
- Kevlar Helmet (.5 kg)
- [1] Frag / [1] Smoke Grenades
- Cravat (1x1m) [x1]: A triangular or square muslin sling. It is also used as
  bandanna or dust mask (drive-on rag), or any number of improvised uses.
  Wt 0.05kg/each

- Leatherman Multi-Tool
- Gloves, Light: Light leather gloves

I hope this doesn't throw anything off.

I just moved the turn up a little. I didn't go past the intrusion attempt though as I wanted to give Heffe a chance to post accordingly, and for Dave to act on the situation at the rear before entry is made by on the townhouse itself. The map is updated.

Heyyy not a bad roll on the intrusion check. Glad that first one worked out okay. Post is up.

Fuse, I added a proposed route onto the map for Walsh and Lines.

Just to be clear and to ensure I didn't misunderstand our stacking order, Jose is expecting Ferro to lead us in (since she speaks Polish).

In reply to Jose Rodriguez (msg # 51):
Good start & Nice roll!

Hank does speak Polish however, he doesn't have night vision. Whether that's going to affect him reading door numbers, I couldn't say if Ferro has the night vision, she should lead us in?

Yeah, that's the plan. (would have used a thumbs up icon of there was one lol)

In reply to Jose Rodriguez (msg # 49):

Good job. I think that's the first time it's been done in this game.

OK, it’s come to light that we do not know which apartment in the building the target is in - it could be any one on any floor. Therefore the plan in its current form is out of the window - as we don’t know which apartment to hit we’re going to have to work our way through them, at least until such times as we find someone that may be able to tell us which apartment our target is in (and hope that they’re not lying).

It’s been suggested that we leave one person at the bottom of the stairs to secure them while the other four move to the top floor and start the search. That way we work from top to bottom so don’t have to potentially fight our way upstairs if things kick off (that also means that as we move down we may be leaving woken up householders behind us but that applies whether we go top to bottom or bottom to top. If anyone has any alternative suggestions feel free to put them forward.

If there’s any grumbles can we please keep them OOC and not IC. I misunderstood the intel we had been given and thought we had a specific apartment number so that's on me not Kessler (and to be fair no one else picked up on it) so I don’t think it’s appropriate to criticise any character(s).

Shit happens!  Situations change!  Judgement free zone...

With the updated Intel, I think it could become dangerous if we don't leave someone to watch our backs and as of right now, our exit.  Start from the top and work down while we (believe) still have the element of surprise working for us.

If you prefer, Hank can hold the position.  He has his AKMR and speaks passable Polish, if it becomes an issue of verbal commands/orders to anyone they 'may' come in contact with.  He doesn't have a suppressed weapon OR night vision AND hasn't been the luckiest but, I think the better option for this particular task.

He can pass off the DB Master Key and bandoleer of ammo to the advancing team.

OK, so I've updated my post from yesterday to the following

Voight will hold the position as suggested by Corkman, transferring the shotgun and ammo to Kolstrup in case any breaching is required.

Everyone else makes for the top floor then we'll start breaking and entering and work our way back down.

Is Jose carrying a sledge?

In reply to Per Kolstrup (msg # 58):

I don’t believe so, no.

In reply to Jose Rodriguez (msg # 59):

Do you want Jose to carry the master key or should Per keep it? Your call.

-

Didn't think so.  Last Op out at the bar, yes

I am really confused.

Is the masterkey a thing or is it a way of referring to the shotgun?

In reply to Michael Kessler (msg # 62):

Yeah, sorry. It's slang for a door entry shotgun.

-

It refers to a breaching shotgun used by entry teams.  Shotguns can 'usually/typically' open a common door.

In reply to Per Kolstrup (msg # 60):

Jose'll take it. He's not carrying a heavy weapon this mission, so won't be overly encumbered by the shotgun/bandolier.

I put up a placeholder entry for the turn, but something just occurred to me. I don't think the shotgun has a sling (unless I'm mistaken?). So unless we just want to start blasting down every door we come across, Jose will need to set the shotgun down every time he attempts to pick a lock. It's not a huge deal, but I'm wondering if you all have any thoughts on the matter.

In reply to Jose Rodriguez (msg # 66):

You're right. If you don't want to set it down, Per will hold on to it while Jose attempts the picking and then, if Jose needs it to blow the lock/hinges, Per will hand it back to him. Sound workable?

-

That works for me. Thanks!

Kessler & Per are down by Hank now?

In reply to Henry 'Hank' Voight (msg # 69):

Kessler is. Kolstrup hasn’t posted yet.

Hey all, we're getting dangerously close to the thread cap. Just a heads up for anyone that maybe didn't realize.
