Marcel fires at one of the insurgents, an Arab in fatigues with a rifle in his hands, sees the man collapse to the gravel of the streambed – Berg’s shot also finds its target. Vidal fires as well, but the fellagha drops prone at the moment he squeezes the trigger, and he works the bolt to chamber another round. Ranged attack: <a href="http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=WaSGM#159051" target="_blank">14</a>.Start of round 22. As Pyotr rises to retreat, he sees the machine gun once again turn his way. This time the barrel spits fire and lead at the Russian légionnaire. Pyotr: Reflex save, DC 15 – no cover bonus.Normand, Neumann, and Gonzalez race across the desert toward the sheltering hill, bullets snapping around them as they flee. Seconds seem like minutes until they reach the base of the outcrop where the other legionnaires are firing now to cover Pyotr’s retreat. Neumann, panting and scowling, somehow manages to get out the words, “Kerenin...cover...fire,” as he drops to one knee facing the fellaghas from the bottom of the slope.On the hill Lavareaux’s submachine gun chatters, as does Duval’s downslope to the north – fellaghas cling to the floor of the gully, unable to advance through the fire. Over the din Duval yells to Vidal, “If they come up this gully to our right, we’re in position to enfilade their advance. Keep your eyes open!” Vidal nods as he fires again. Ranged attack: <a href="http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=WaSGM#159052" target="_blank">5</a>. Again the terrain works against him as he racks the old rifle’s bolt.</blockquote>
