Wing and Sword: Chat et Souris (Prologue)

[Bobitron]

Martinez does not fall back, however. The Moroccan corporal stands and again rakes the fellaghas with his submachine gun, the bullets kicking up sand and pebbles around the insurgents.

Marcel looks on in amused admiration as Martinez bravely holds his ground, brass shells flying to his feet as the SMG clatters. Brave- but stupid. Duval always said cover was first priority during training.

One of the fells twitches on the ground as a bullet strikes his hip – another leaps up and scrambles for the safety of the oued, blood staining the back of his fatigues, dropping his rifle as he runs.

Sensing an opportunity, Marcel fires at the running fell, taking advantage of Duval and Lavareaux's combined fire.

OOC: Attack roll 1. Ummm... Marcel's a lover, not a fighter...

Caporal Martinez, standing exposed in the gully, draws the fire of the remaining fellaghas lying among the bushes. The legionnaire staggers backward and collapses to the ground motionless as he is hit twice, in the chest and abdomen.

"Sgt. Duval! Martinez is down! Can I go to him?"

OOC: If Duval approves, Marcel uses his maximum Move until reaching him. If he tells Marcel to stay put, he follows orders.

 

[Barak]

Vidal, Marcel, and Normand: Each legionnaire has a shot at the panicked fellagha before he drops out of view in the oued, may target a fell concealed in the bushes, or may take some other action

Well, I better try to get one of those going into the oued. Always time to try for those hunkered down later.

With little time to take aim, Normand takes another shot at one of the fells retreating.


OOC
I figure I still shoot at -8 for range..
to-hit:-1
Oh well. At least we are making them fall back

 

[The Shaman]

“Sgt. Duval! Martinez is down! Can I go to him?”

“Go!” Duval orders. “Covering fire!”

Berg sees the medic jump off, blasts away at the fellaghas, trying to keep them pinned down as the medic advances.

Marcel: Martinez is down about 50’ in front of the legionnaires’ position. In this round Marcel can cover slightly more than half the distance.

Seeing the effect of his first shot, Pyotr decides that he will try to do it again before his targets disappear. Taking another slow breath, he lines up the next shot.

Pyotr will be going for another Dead Aim shot.

Vidal: Once Vidal acts the second combat round will be done.
All: Updated tactical map - 1 is Martinez, 2 is Marcel and Dinter.

 

[The Shaman]

Vidal: Once Vidal acts the second combat round will be done.
All: Updated tactical map - 1 is Martinez, 2 is Marcel and Dinter.

Marcel: In addition to the above, I need some details on Marcel's move toward Martinez - Marcel can move as far as where Dinter is prone in the gully, but I need to know Marcel is doing once he gets there.

 

[Barak]

Normand swears softly as his second shot, just like his first, hits wildly off the mark.

"This is no good Pyotr. I cannot hit anything from this far. I need to get closer. Wish me luck."

Standing, he moves towards the fells for a bit, then drops to a knee again to re-evaluate ths situation.


OOC: Will stand, move NW, then drop back to one knee.

 

[Bobitron]

Marcel: In addition to the above, I need some details on Marcel's move toward Martinez - Marcel can move as far as where Dinter is prone in the gully, but I need to know Marcel is doing once he gets there.

Marcel will run as quickly as possible, hoping that the fells are as poor a shot as he is. Once he gets to Martinez, check for a pulse, and if he is alive, begin to stabilize him. Try to do this from a prone position if possible.

 

[The Shaman]

Marcel: He can reach Martinez's position in the next round and Marcel can drop prone to work on him then.

 

[знаток]

Relying on the fells' fear of lead to keep Martinez and Fortier safe from further injury, Vidal fires another round at the closest target.
