Blood and Guts II: Blood Blizzard playtest

[Masada]

Where are our forces? Are we in the middle of a group or solo? We're doomed out in the open with no cover and no support. I'd recommend we form up with other units. We have rally points at Mosul, Samarra, Baghdad or Al Basra. Lets haul buttocks for the closest.

"Flanking speed, Mr. Paddy! Flanking Speed!" Doing his best pirate accent.

 

[Ranger Rick]

"Aye Aye Sargent Blood."

OOC: Are we alone like a picket or are there line units behind us/next to us? Basic tactics deem you would have created a small defenisive position (mines/berms-hull down) than when pushed you retreat a few KM back into another defensive postion. This pull back is a leapfrog as you bypass another unit set behind you.

On the ground over a million men approach, led by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard elite units.

Caesar sees this in the scope and whispers under his breath, Mein Gott in Himmel.

More loudly, Uh, Sarge? Do we have orders to engange one million men?

 

[Vigilance]

As you begin to fall back through the Iraqi lines, you notice other Bradleys on the picket doing the same. You also see the Iraqi army moving forward to engage.

The official order to fall back comes a few seconds later, with orders for your vehicle to proceed to Baghdad and prepare to engage.

Caesar begins to make sure his armor is on properly and his weapon is loaded and safed. This is going to be interesting, and even more so in a bit longer.

 

[Ranger Rick]

Padraic finds the map and cooly asks, [intercom] "Sargent what is the 1st checkpoint? Do you have the location of the next fuel stop?"

OOC: FYI I will be offline till Tuesday

 

[Bobitron]

Bear is ready to go. He takes some time to carefully go over all the gear in the Bradley before combat.

 

[Vigilance]

Outside of Baghdad (sorry for the delay- I figured with the holiday it was best to wait)

Your unit has been assigned to patrol the perimeter of this great city which sits on either back of the might Tigris river. Reports of bloody combat between the Iraqi and Iranian armies have been coming to you for hours but so far the only American involvement has been from air units, who have swept the skies of Iranian fighters and begun to pound mercilessly on the advancing ground forces.

It's night, and you are on the outskirts of the city.

What's your patrol plan, are you all in the Bradley, allowing the men at the periscopes to be the unit's eyes, or are you out of the Bradley on foot as well?

 

[Ranger Rick]

Padraic being the driver will be exempt from guard duty as if there is a night movement he needs to stay awake. He will also not sleep in the vehicle but ten yards off on the ground. If no light is coming from the track, he will have the driver hatch open so he can jump in. The helmet & commo gear attached to it are resting just out side the hatch so he can quickly put it on as he climbs in.

OOC: What's the SOP for this sort of thing?
