[QUOTE="The Shaman, post: 1975306, member: 26473"] Sgt. Duval trains the MAT-49 on the still figure slumped on the ground. [color=brown]“Hold your position!”[/color] he calls down the line as he rises from one knee. [color=brown]“Radio, follow me,”[/color] he continues, softly. The jumpmaster jogs forward toward the Arab, torso held low to the ground. With a violent kick he knocks the body onto its back, the barrel of the submachine gun never losing its bead. The Arab lies supine on the sand, arms akimbo, mouth slack, eyes open and unmoving, staring into the sky. Blood stains the front of his tunic. Beside him lies a brown knit [i]kufi[/i] and the rifle. From the north the voice of Cpl. Lavareaux floats down the line of soldiers. [color=brown]“[i]Légionnaires[/i], stay down and hold your positions. Keep alert.”[/color] Sgt. Neumann echoes the order to his men. [color=brown]“Stay down. Watch cross-fire,”[/color] the German mutters, pointing in the general direction of the rest of the section. Suddenly another figure is running across the desert, directly in front of Cpl. Martinez, about 30m away, traveling due east. Martinez gives a shout, fires a burst from his submachine gun, the gout of flame bright in the fading twilight. Sand sprays around the running man, but he doesn’t stop. Neumann grunts and points at the figure. [color=brown]“Get him,”[/color] he growls. [color=silver][size=1][b][U]Revised[/U] initiative order:[/b] Normand (18) Sgt. Duval (15) Running Arab (12) - [b]added to initiative order[/b] NCOs (Neumann, Lavareaux, Martinez) (11) [s]Hiding Arab (9)[/s] Marcel (9) Vidal (8) Legionnaires (Berg, Dinter, Gonzalez) (7) Pyotr (5) The running figure is roughly 140’ from Sgt. Neumann’s group, 150’ from Cpl. Lavareaux’s line – that’s second range interval for the MAS-49/56 or -2 to hit. The target is running (+2 to Defense - no change to the attack roll). Roll damage with your attack rolls, just in case. Normand gets to use his held action, then we resume normal initiative order – Marcel, Vidal, the legionnaires, and Pyotr.[/size][/color][size=1][/size] [/QUOTE]
