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

Yeah at least Normand can take bullets and grenade blasts.

I can't help but wonder if they'd have started shooting if that woman had thrown her garbage out without us there.

No, not really! I hope that I don't get wasted immediately. If that happened I'd have to go munchkinize a minmax killing machine for a replacement!

I hope each of you have a very happy Christmastime!

Kat silhouetted himself against the window in the door (= I tanked his Stealth check roll... ) - but the barking dog did get someone to look outside the garage...

Happy Holidays, everyone!

Happy Happy Joy Joy to each of you!

Alright, enough of this peace on earth, goodwill toward men stuff, it's back to counter-insurgency ops for you lot!

We'll resume our regularly scheduled mayhem in the morning...

(Anyone get anything cool for the holidays?)

I miss this game soooo much.

Me, too.

The story...[sblock]In March my wife's dermatologist discovered a melanoma on my wife's abdomen during a routine checkup. This is my wife's second bout with this form of cancer - last year marked five years since the first occurence and we were feelling pretty good, so the new diagnosis hit pretty hard. Treatment was complicated by the fact that my wife was six months pregnant at the time - we couldn't put off the surgery, but it made some aspects of both the surgery and the recovery very tricky. My wife developed a serious infection as the incision could not close properly due to her growing middle, and there are limits on what can be used by way of antibiotics because of the pregnancy.

Fortunately we seem to be past the worst of it for the moment. Our son is due next month, and my wife will need to undergo another surgery to clean up the incision after the delivery. All of the pregnancy signs are very good, as is my wife's prognosis - it doesn't appear that the cancer metastasized, but we won't know for sure for some time. The clock is running again.

I was off work for more than a month, and I still have a bit of catch up, but there is a bit of normalcy peeking over the horizon.

I deeply and sincerely apologize for leaving without notice. Please be aware that we have kept this ordeal very quiet - only immediate family and work supervisors were informed, to minimize outside stress as much as possible. I regret not letting you all know that I would need to be away for awhile.

I would like to resume our game, if anyone is still interested in continuing. I'm going to send this by e-mail to everyone as well, in the hopes that we can rekindle interest. This is my first visit to ENWorld in some time, and I see there have been some...uh...challenges here as well. Our game thread lost a big chunk of posts - the good news is that I still have all of my posts in a Word file (seventy-two pages worth, actually), so I can reconstruct where we were, should we decide to pick this up again.

Again, my apologies for dropping off the grid. I humbly ask your forgiveness.


So...want to play a game?[/sblock]

Pyotr pats Marcel on the back. "I know what you mean."

Lt. Ramadier glances at Sgt. Muller, who in turn looks back at Pyotr and Marcel. "Quiet in the ranks," the German NCO growls. Ahead the dusty village looms...

I can't tell ya how glad I was to see this message in my inbox.

I've reposted my last three or four posts to the game-thread - I don't have copies of everyone else's posts to fill in the gaps, I'm afraid, so most of the banter was lost. There is a brief recap at the end of the post.
