Re: OOC

when you pick a buddy it is basically someone you have a connection to at the moment. buddies can change during gameplay. plus, two characters do not have to be each others' buddy. bob may choose you as his buddy, but you may choose alice as your buddy.

Re: OOC

by the way, for $10 US monthly you can buddy with the GM. for this privilege you will receive no less than three 'ataboys', a almost honest good job, and a single re-roll of a non-essential die roll once per month. what a deal!

Re: OOC

Hi GM

thanks for the careers but...

I am trying to get Thomas to be a Civilian Para Medic who got called up so if I have understood right, he needs to do 2 terms of Education, so could I have some info on that please?

There really isn't a good way to be a paramedic in the system. Try this out. It covers a lot of things; multiple languages, first response, adverse climates, difficult terrain, driving, handling heavy loads, dealing with people at their worst behavior, using vehicles, tools, etc.

Re: OOC

GM:
H platoon structure
Platoon leader - Colonel Reginald 'Rex' Applegate - deceased
Platoon Executive Officer - Captain Sean Cave
Platoon Sergeant - Master Sergeant Velma Carson - MIA
Coordinating Liaison - Jackson 'Jacks' Webbber - deceased (head spook/CIA)
Technical Advisor - Simon Baker - deceased (Engineer/technical intel specialist/CIA)
Soviet Operations Advisor - Fedor Ovcharenko (rumored to have been in Russian intel)
Language and Cultural Specialist/Poland - Cecylia Wojcik
Leader, Scout Section - Sergeant Mike Thompson (British NATO contingent to 5th ID)
Medical officer - Captain Evelyn McCord - deceased (Doctor, British NATO contingent to 5th ID)

remainder of platoon
14 soldiers; 3 former soviet, 4 Brit, 1 German, 6 US - deceased
7 soldiers; 2 US, 2 French, 3 Polish - MIA
11 intel operatives; 4 Polish, 2 Brit, 5 US - deceased
3 intel assets; 1 US, 1 German, 1 Slovakian - MIA

Good to know. Are there any NPCs members of H Platoon with us at game start? I'm thinking of possibly a couple of drivers for our two HMMWVs and maybe a couple of surviving members of the security team.

Or are there just the 8 of us from H Platoon?

If that's the case then my follow up question is whether we've managed to scavenge anything from the dead like additional weapons, ammo and food?

Re: OOC

I can't speak for the GM, but I'm guessing whatever we were able to get is either in our packs or in the vehicles we have (food, spare parts, etc...). I'm thinking we might all have been too busy retreating and, you know, not getting killed to stop and start stripping corpses along the way :)

This has made me think of something: unless someone strongly objects to it, I'll start going through the posted gear and make a food, water, battery and ammo tally, and post it somewhere. That way, we'll have a picture of what we have.

Quite frankly, I am so stoked to get the RP going. There's so much I want to learn about all the PCs :)

Re: OOC

This is just to give us a rough idea. I counted the ammo in the mags and I might have screwed some math up, so this is not gospel :)

We do have a lot of batteries, which is neat. And of course, 5.56 is the ammo we have the most of. We're also not doing too bad on grenades.

Ammo
500x .50 BMG
160x 7.62x54mmR
800x 7.62mm NATO
390x 7.62x39mm
900x 5.56x45mm
521x 9x19mm
190x 9x18mm
60x .45 ACP
25x 23mm buckshot

40mm Grenades
4x HE
6x Smoke
14x HEDP
12x Illumination

Grenades
12x Frag
11x Smoke

Explosives
1x Claymore
? C4

Survival
61x food
29x water
80L Water (how many rations is that?)

Batteries
22x extra batteries

Spare Parts
20x Generic
8x Electronic
14x Weapons

Fuel
240L of Gasoline

Hi Gm - thanks for that - I assume this can be gone into without having to do any terms in education? If so I'll try and crack on with this tonite

Re: OOC

In reply to Cecylia Wojcik (msg # 86):

Thanks for putting this together. It's very interesting. A couple of comments:

Cecylia Wojcik:
40mm Grenades
4x HE
6x Smoke
14x HEDP
12x Illumination

Apologies if I'm telling your something that you know but some of these are for Fedor's GP25 and some are for Mike's M203 and they're not interchangeable. We do have this quantity but we only have two launchers and they require different rounds.

Cecylia Wojcik:
Explosives
1x Claymore
? C4

I think that the amount of C4 that Mike has equates to 8 "units" for the purposes of game mechanics and a single unit creates a D blast effect.

Cecylia Wojcik:
Survival
61x food
29x water
80L Water (how many rations is that?)

I think that a litre of water equates to 1 unit of water for consumption purposes but I'm not 100% certain of that.

I'm new to the version 4 system but I'm experienced with the T2k setting - I've been playing T2k since version 1 in 1989.....

I'm in 2 F2F Neo-T2K games and have played the old system since '89-'90. I also played the middle  version, on the GDW house system, but did not like it.

Re: OOC

I played 1st Ed when it first came out, a bit, and then nothing until a few years back when I was in a 2nd Ed game on here which folded quite quickly. I remember the setting and premise from playing before as kinda fun, so keen to get to explore it a bit again

Re: OOC

In reply to Mike Thompson (msg # 88):

yes, we will use 1 liter to 1 ration of water. i am double checking, it seems to be one of those vague things.

as i recall you are correct, 8 units of C4, but i will double check that to.

Re: OOC

so, Carter is equipped. he is came into H platoon from a service support position. with his particular skills and specialties he was probably working on a Search and Rescue helicopter with 1/160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment until it suffered too many losses in personnel and equipment and was 'amalgamated' into the 5th infantry.

Re: OOC

You did not really specify a "start time" for the scene, or weather, lighting conditions, etc. So I sort of took liberties. I can edit that first post completely if you would like.

Given that there were references to "throughout the night", I figured we had either made it till morning, or just pre dawn. And after a full day and a night of field work, or desperate fighting, I figured at least some of them had slept.

You may be best to move them to another group number that we can't see, just in case you have a new character being created and people need to reference them again.
