Wing and Sword: a d20 Modern military campaign [METAGAME]

[The Shaman]

Still here... Pyotr is deaf and blind now remember?

Lessee, we blinded our sniper and fatigued our Tough hero...and I thought the first encounter was difficult!

Haha! Yeah, give us XP!

 

[The Shaman]

Haha! Yeah, give us XP!

And I was thinking maybe I should deduct a few points...

Oh, and a clarification.. The way the patrolling works, we ride around in the truck, and stops and investigates when we see something odd (sorta like now), right?

Barak, was there more to this question than what I answered earlier? Were you thinking about skill points in Drive or something?

Some of the engagements start off as routine patrols, others as larger operations - you may be travelling on foot, riding in a truck or jeep or on the deck of a tank, jumping out of a helicopter, hitting the silk, or a couple of other surprises I have up my sleeve. Most of the engagements will involve some combat, though there are a several that may be strictly roleplay or investigative, depending on what you guys do.

Am I answering your question, or adding to the confusion? :\

What you should do, what we want, and what we need are entirely unrelated.

The way I understood it, on this particular occasion we had completed the assigned patrol and were simply being transported back to the camp when we came to the farm. A soldier's never really off-duty though.

I'm really excited to be back in the action, and rreeeeaaaally nervous that the sun is going down.

Exactly right. On both counts.

I'm really excited to be back in the action, and rreeeeaaaally nervous that the sun is going down.

And really happy to be at the back of the patrol?

Just wanted to let you know that I will be out of town Thursday through Saturday - my family and I are visiting friends in...

...Vegas, baby! VEGAS!



Shadow, I noted you'll be out ot town the following week, too - would you like someone to NPC Pyotr while you're away?

Just a reminder: suppression fire is now split into suppression and covering fire - suppression provides ranged AoO and covering fire results in a penalty to hit for the target. Both are area attacks which require hitting DC 10 with modifiers for range and cover.

I also must have been suffering from fatigue when I viewed the map, as I failed to notice the tiny dots that are we (or the scale apparently). I was assuming we were grouped closely (within about 50-75') and that we were 400-500' or more from the barn, or I probably would've reacted more defensively.

What programs are you guys using to view the map?

In Office Picture Manager, I can zoom to 800% and make out the figures (as dark blobs) and the names (just barely) - in future versions of the map I'll try to blow up the names a little more, but the figures are to scale and the detail goes out the window with the conversion from the native format to .jpg, unfortunately.

I tried creating a detail map showing the field and the barn, to make it easier to see, but my computer art-fu is weak and weenie. :\ I'll give it another go when I get a chance.

Reminder: the grid on the map is 10' by 10'.
