Round 5.[CODE]Buggy Stat Block:Mobile Infantry Dune BuggyCrew: 3 (driver, navigator, gunner)Pass: 1Cargo: 200lbsSize: L (2x3) Init: -1Maneuverability: -1Max Speed: 125 (25)Armor Class: 9 (1/2 Cover for all occupants)Hardness: 5HP: 32Armaments:MW-5050 (Twin 50): 4d8, 150', Auto, 500 box feed[/CODE]As the mantis bugs start with earnest towards the squad those that can see watch with intrigue as the bugs begin to fade into the normal spectrum.  Obviously they need to actively concentrate to maintain the camouflage.  The squad can clearly see that three mantis bugs are racing towards the ridge.  The bugs are currently 280’ from the ridge.Carina hurtles her Marauder up the ridge taking a full round to get into position.Shin spins buggy #2 into action and heads for the southern side of the ridge.Raul can not get a good target yet and so remains ready.Mel tries to spur her comrades on, (Modified Charisma check of 12 + 2 = 14 vs DC 10, success, giving Cyrill a +1 bonus for the next two rounds), and motivates Cyrill.Carl can see the mantis bugs clearly 280’ in front of the buggy.  Pressing on the trigger to the twin fifty gives Carl a pleasing burst of fire, (Modified ranged attack rolls of 6 + 11 (AB) – 2 (Range of 280’) – 1 (Travelling at street speed) = 14, a miss and 12 + 6 (AB) – 2 (Range) -1 (Speed) = 15, a miss), but due to the rugged off road terrain the bullets kick up dust the right of the bugs.Cyrill takes aim at mantis bug #1 and fires, (Modified ranged attack roll of 19 + 10 (AB) + 1 (Circumstance Bonus) = 30, a hit, confirmed critical roll of 18 + 10 + 1 = 29, confirmed, doing 17hp damage!  Modified ranged attack roll of 13 + 5 (AB) + 1 (Bonus) = 19, a hit doing 4hp damage.), and even at this extreme range he hits the swift bug twice in the head!  Cyrill is really dishing out damage!Sarge quickly scans the display checking for further contacts but so far only the three charging bugs as visible.Jacob changes aim to the only uninjured bug in view, mantis bug #2, and opens up with the marauder artillery.  (Modified ranged attack roll of 9 + 11 (AB) – 4 (Twin Morita’s Range of 280’) + 2 (Focused Fire) =18, a miss and modified ranged attack roll of 13 + 6 (AB) – 6 (Light Rotary Cannon Range of 280’) + 2 (Focused Fire) = 15, a miss).  However Jacob was unlucky to miss judge the range and kicked up clouds of dust as he sprayed the area in front of the bugs with bullets.Bishop continues at street speed making way around the northern side of the ridge.Squad actions please.</blockquote>
