GM:
(OOC)
I expect there may be some questions as this is the first combat many of you have tried with this system so please ask away in the OOC thread, thanks.
I'll throw a few out.
1) I gather from the way you've teed up this encounter, we can fire our rifles for the first attack, and (presumably) maintain position and continue to fire in subsequent rounds, until the enemy engages us?
2) at that point I would fight with bayonet (since it seems to be the best option, compared to rifle butt, knife, or fists - at least for my character), although we could choose any of those alternatives if we had reason to do so?
3) After we fire a round, do we need to
indicate that we are re-loading before taking another shot? Or is that a given?
4) does re-loading take a round, or can we re-load and fire in the same round?
Non-combat question: do you still want us to hold off for now, on using the XP we have gained?
