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

[Barak]

Well he just -got- there. And then he got yelled at for stopping a beating, sorta. So he's a bit gunshy now. Of course, being who he is, he'll get over it real quick.

I'll have a post up later this morning.

has information about our MAS49/56 rifles. There's even info on the grenade launcher and cartridges for Normand the Mighty.

I still can't find a picture of the grenade launcher, nor the one for the Springfield in WWII. Thanks for the link! How is your character coming along?

I'll get a post up tonight.

Kewel!

I.. I'm not sure they'll let Normand keep the grenade launcher now.

But cool link!

Having him shoot grenades as far away as possible seems to be in everyone's interest...

Barak, one small problem with your last couple of posts: the truck was heading away from the farm and the town when you encountered it. It was heading north on the road to the west of the farm, while the gendarmes jeep was heading south, back toward town. Did I goof and say the truck was pointed at the farm someplace?

See you all on Saturday, off to visit relatives and eat too much food. Have a great Thanksgiving, to those who celebrate it in the correct month.

Shaman:

[sblock]I'm having email trouble at home, so send anything to my work only until I let you know.

The A&A minis maps are all available on the WOTC site as pdf's now, I just need to figure out how to make them useful for our purposes. I was soooo tempted to order a case of boosters today, but held back. Just barely.

Happy Thanksgiving, Mike. We both have plenty to be thankful for. I'm glad I met you! You're an awesome gaming buddy, even if you are thousands of mles away. Best wishes to you and your family.[/sblock]

Aww geez. See..

I'll have to think more on the rest of the stuff. One question... In the original "clue" post, you said
Quote:
The truck was driving away from the farm when the gendarmes were encountered.

But then later you said..
Quote:
FYI: the truck was heading away from town when the gendarmes and then the paras encountered it.

So I asked, and you said..

Both are correct.

I'll go in and excise stuff later. Sorry for the confusion.

 

[The Shaman]

I'm sorry to spread so much confusion!

Let me see if I can clear this up once and for all: The Rubiera's farm is located on the western outskirts of the Portemonte commune. Travelling north on the road to the west of the farm takes you away from town (and the farm) - it was in this direction that the truck was travelling when it apparently encountered the gendarmes' jeep. The gendarmes were returning to town a short time before the paras, travelling on the same road and in the same direction.

Next time I'll include an area map as well, to help orient everyone a little better.

To Shadow, Bobitron, and shibata, a very Happy Thanksgiving to you and your families!

To Barak, how 'bout those Habs?!?

Regardless of national borders, thank you all for making Wing and Sword such a fun gaming experience for everyone.
