Do we even have anyone with LCG skill?

I can drive them not shoot them.

Do we have a safe approach to the defended area I could move the tank there and we use the coax MG at least.

In reply to Patrick Walsh (msg # 163):

And we can move the second HMG and use the tank as cover. How much ammunition does the tank's coax have ?



-

several hundred shots, about 1000 rounds. around forty or so shots for the main gun.

update, their are around 20 AK74Ms and dozens of mags, a PKM with five belts (33 shots), 4 RPG 22 (Russian LAW knock off), an assortment of a few dozen hand grenades, and a partridge in sycamore tree.

Could we get an updated map ? Thanks.

Yep. I'll remap the n the am, wolfbane youre doing great. Rules are lose, it's the nature of play by post. I will update in the morning for that too. Great job guys, very cool

New map added, this shows everyone's position as of right now, plus it shows the positions of the Russians and the notable dead.

From Castle to the area of the Russian sniper types is roughly 110 meters. From the T-62M to the rocket launcher equipped Russians is roughly twenty meters. From Wolfbane to the other Russian trying to rescue him from a capitalist existence is roughly a meter.

Spetznas troops operate it 12 man sections, 3 sections per platoon, 3 platoons plus a support platoon per company. there are eleven red arrows, someone is missing.

Hey guys a heads up, I'm working a trade show and won't get much of a chance to post for the next few days, Andrew tell Pat where to drive asneeded.  Should beback to normal Thursday

I here those trade shows are tough, all that haggling over children, just hoping you trade for a smarter, better behaved child. And the entrance fees are so high! I bet in some states it's probably cheaper just to buy new kids than to pay the cost of getting into a trade show.

All kidding aside, it's not a problem, we will catch up with you later this week. Thanks for the heads up.

sorry, been AWOL, helped dad remodel his bathroom and a pipe leaked under the house, it was mess, I will be back on later to catch up, tomorrow morning at the latest. thanks for your patience guys.

great job, I'll give Patric a chance to chime in and then I post the rest of the ambush leading to the teams death and Wolfbane's inevitable capture, torture, enslavement, reeducation, and assignment as a sex worker in a Moscow brothel.

it's actually cool having a character in the game with the name Wolfbane. Why use a first name at all. I mean, how many times in a GM's lifetime does he get to use Wolfbane when referring to a PC?

Can I just fet a quick sitrep gor Patric, don't want him to run over anyone he shouldn't.

Ok, the tank is moving forward at a walking pace, wolfbane took his ass beating like a man and captured a spetznas out to capture him, Roger has been having it out with spetznas snipers, and Andrew lit up some commie commandos with the DShK, oh, and Andrew got in the leg and fell off the tank

In reply to Dr. Strangelove (msg # 174):

Shouldn't Andrew's legs have been inside the tank?.... careless fella...

In reply to Patrick Walsh (msg # 175):

Andrew also radioed over the team comms net that he had fallen out so Patrick should know what has happened.

yeah, Patric, I mean really, you shoulda been listening.

no sweat, seeing how my completely unbeatable Russian special forces just got prison raped. Honestly, I should have made the die rolls public, anyway, I feel that this situation is well in hand, even if Patric did just drive of and leave you behind.

First mission complete.

Each character will have 10 points to use to raise skills, no more than 5 points in a single skill unless you are starting a new skill.

Keep up with any and all gear you will claiming from the battlefield and log it on your character sheets.

All of your hurts will be healed, new uniforms will be provided, and fresh food provide twice daily.

I will prepare the next mission and have it posted tomorrow. Any questions, changes, etc. just hit me up.

I'm guessing the Tank doesn't get to come with us? :)

Hope not, tanks tend to attract large caliber things, like missiles.

Going to bump up my CRM and MC by 5 each. If the prisoner had a patch, I will keep it as a trophy.

Bet they won't let us keep the Russian either...

Did we all get a purple heart?

And did Torv make it?

In reply to Dr. Strangelove (msg # 178):

Can we get some reloads for the Charlie G ? Thanks.

Torv is alive.

There was no sign of Mark Tran's body or his gear.

The Russian was a senior troop leader, equal to a Master Sergeant, and the spooks only tossed him out of the chopper from ten feet into the ocean where a pair of semi-retired SEALs would fish him out, remove the blind fold and racoon his commie as every time.

It is possible to scrounge up a dozen rounds for the Carl Gustav. Available types include HE, HEAT, Smoke, and Training rounds (solids). The number of each is up to you to decide upon.

Ammunition for small arms can be replaced with the exception of 5.7 x 28mm, there just isn't a reliable source for it any more, and 6mm PPC, for the Russian-used target rifle.

I will pull together of more complete listing of stuff from the battlefield that you guys may have kept or wanted to at least know about.

I will also prepare the next briefing so everyone can know the over all success of the operation, get their awards from the General, and have a moment to hob-knob with the girls from the S-3 office.

There were quite a few small arms on the battlefield. As I recall, ROger made a point to collect the Hecate sniper rifle, Torv's gear that was used during the mission, and the two rifles the Spetznas were using; a Remington 40X 6mm BR with a high end 24x scope and a Ruger All Weather in .338 Win Mag.

I know that the group gathered an number of small arms, ammunition, and grenades from the dead poles.

There was the officer's belt pistol, a S&W .357 magnum revolver I believe.

You could lay claim to the DShK if you guys want it. You took it and turned it on it previous owners. No one would dispute that. And it could be mounted on the team vehicle, you guys agreed on a Commando armored car didn't you. I'll have to go back check that out.

There are some reloads for the Carl Gustav. Not a lot, but some. I posted about it earlier. Ammunition for common calibers, grenades, and batteries.

There is a small collection of ordance; 12 claymores, ten pounds of C4, detonators, demolitions tool kits, and a spool of det cord (40 meters) left over from when Wolfbane was attempting to reclaim the stuff.

You will be inserted on a beach, drive in on your own route, and try to not draw attention if possible. But, if shit gets real you can call on fire support from a pair of Cobra gunships that will be kept ready to back you up. One will have the usual mix of rockets and ATGMs while the other will be armed with rocket artillery pods only. The naval guns are being prioritized to the main battle group pushing out against the Polish Tanks. Med-evac, resupply, prisoner recovery and emergency retrieval are also available via a dedicated Huey UH1.

The mission of named Ground Hugger, the team will be known as Hugger element, with the offical lead of the group being Lieutenant Brian Sanderson. Sanderson was KIA two days ago and the actual leadership of the team will fall upon the team.

I think I put forward the idea of a V-150 with either a 90mm gun turret, a 20mm auto cannon, 25mm auto cannon or even a 30mm auto cannon. That being said perhaps a Russian APC would be more suitable to stay under the radar ?

It's main requirement was that it was amphibious.
