Cool. Dave is a top notch mechanic as well but he's a better gunner than driver.

I’ll go ahead and take the Doctors kit for my group pick then. :)

I'll take the food as my group pick. I agree ammo would be good as well (especially since the dice roller hated me in char gen) but I figured either someone else might pick that and / or it might be easier to loot than food as we go along.

10:48, Today: HM3 Cass Sinclaire rolled 4 using 1d6.  Food rations (Group pick).

Warlord, do you want me to add that to my individual sheet or are we recording group stuff centrally somewhere?

Also, Cass has surgical instruments and four medikits as part of her starting gear. And no skills that are going to be any use operating a Bradley. She was designed as a medic with low levels of recon and survival to give her a back up role as a scout / forager.

For now just put the food on your sheet.  The build is fine,  the situation the group is in is far from ideal. But that is part of the story how will the character develop during the worst disaster in recorded history.
  This is a poor medium for gaming but it is a medium,  I wish we were at a table playing there are many details I would love to add to the game but typing is slow and is far more difficult to express the dark vibrancy that could be expressed in the spoken word.

The Bradley has 7 missles   left including 2 in the launcher.  It has 73 25mm rounds left in the ready tray and 820 rounds in the reserves. It has let’s say 50 percent of its 7.62 ammo left.

  What is the vote for the numbers weapon, mark 19, m2 or m240?

i vote twice for Ma Deuce

M2 is fine by me.

Hmmm, advantages all around. The m240 has ammo compatibility with what we already have, pretty versatile as well. The m2 is just darn handy and a good option, probably my personal pick, though ammo may be harder to find. The m19 just makes me giggle, on a personal level I love it and it is a close second to the m2, but ammo is going to be at least as hard to find, but the punch is handy.

Over all I would say m2/m19 as my primary pick, I am ok with either, and m240 as the secondary pick for versatility and ammo compatibility.  In truth I think any of the three will serve us well.

In reply to Warlord (msg # 78):

M2 would be my choice.

Oh, hey guys!

Ma deuce it is.

Folks I know this is the holidays. But if possible keep up posting,  let me know if you cannot.  There is a post hanging in air.  If you want we can suspend for Christmas.  But let me know.

Apologies I did not see the notification of a new message when Cass posted.

That's highly likely to be the last chance I'll have to post until Sunday. I might manage very short one liners from a phone between now and then but no guarantees.

Considering the holiday,  let’s hold the game until Sunday.  Everyone have a merry Christmas and let’s start up again on Sunday,  if anyone cannot do Sunday let me know! Again merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas and a Happy any other holiday you are celebrating at this time.

Dave when we restart, give me a recon roll.  Merry Christmas and enjoy your holiday!

Before I have Wally reply to latest post, maybe you can give us a current map reference? West or East of the river, north or south of Kalisz? The nearest town/city?

Coming from the brigade S-2 shop (intel) would Wally know anything that would help?


Merry Christmas!!!

In reply to PFC Wally Franks (msg # 90):

any chance he was able to make his way out the door with pertinent materials; updated enemy activity reports, maps, updated comms encryption, so on.....

Alright anyone who wants to know approximately where you are give me a recce roll.  The more successes the closer you will be in your estimate.

navigation is based on survival skill, navigator specialty yields +1 on navigation rolls.

Your right. So let’s change that to a survival roll, to figure out roughly we’re in Poland you are. David also needs to do a recce roll.

That is correct and they benefit from either Vehicle Gunner or Launcher Crew (depending on the weapon).

Weird thing about Wire Guided weapons is you fire them one round and then roll to hit the next round when they reach the target. I think this was based on the idea that the ranges would be pretty long but RAW the procedure is the same.

Yes I remember reading that. So if you have launcher crew add 1. So one of you dice would be 1 higher, minus any range penalty.  The vehicle is stationary

I added the fuel and ammo for the Bradley to David's Cast Card so everyone can see it.

Alright.
