Milspec is rating 4 by default. Though that doesn't make any sense for transcontinental transport planes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
So it's either got Rating 4 (1Km) Rating 5(4km) or rating 6(10km). If it has a sat uplink, the sat uplink is a rating 7, which doubles as 40Km range. The Sultan has one right? So unless we're being jammed, then the Sultan and the Outlaw just need to be within 40km of each other to have mutual range. |

Well there goes plan A (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Stern doesn't seem to be able to contact Sultan via the sat uplink...make of that what you will (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ork.gif) |

There doesn't seem to be any jamming per se and you have full communication with all your drones...those in store and those in the field! So what is happening I hear you ask?!? Ah well, that'd be telling (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ork.gif) |

As promissed, awards so far (new week starts 20Dec):
Sabs 5 karma & 12500¥ Klink 4 karma & 10000¥ AStar 4 karma & 10000¥ Branmac 1 karma & 2500¥ In line with the 2072 thread I'm going to use Grimm's method for getting 'big' purchases and yes, these can be mid mission (for example via air drop or 'yes Mr GM I did have Move By Wire all along it's just been turned off...'). Here's Grimm's post for reference. Karma can also be spent in a similar way mid mission ...all subject to GM approval of course but you've already got lots of toys so a few more won't hurt (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) This post has been edited by Aria: Dec 18 2010, 07:34 AM |

Aria I'm confused.
My understanding was that right now team 1, and team 2, as well as 2 of my drones were all in that ruined building, along with the 2 kids they had captured and were trying to interogate for the location of Hobbiton. Team 1 was just about to move out, and team 2 was preparing to engage that patrol, along with my drones. Am I wrong in that assessment? |

Its 6 minutes later. Looks like we've parted ways. We don't have any helicopters on our strike force do we?

My understanding was that team 2 had gone to the school (or were headed there, depending how fast they go) along with your drones...team 1 had headed out along the northern boundary to get to Hobbiton and that Dahlia was 'alone' with the 3 children I can roll things back with some jiggery pokery or we can go from here?!? Your choice! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) A |

Would we have left Dahlia alone with 3 prisoners/children?
I mean we are professionals (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I would think we would have tied up the kids, gagged them, and left them there. I don't think DeepWatch is the kill children type of Merc group. The children are of no use to us anymore, except that we don't want them telling anyone what we're doing for the next 30 minutes or so. A dose of something that would keep them unconcious for 30 minutes to an hour should be plenty. |

Ha, we probably should have clarified on the OOC thread our next steps. Team 1 was moving out while team 2 and the fire support drones blew up the patrol. Once the patrol gets taken out, we then relocated to the school (if possible).

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/ork.gif) ...and she was ordered to 'find out more' so no dosing them before my post! I'll take it for now that the drones and squad 2 are at the school... |

That's fine with me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) just wanted to know what I was doin ':) Since we made it to the school. Can I get a quick recap as to where that combat patrol is? Also, do you remember I have my 3 rotordrones on the way to provide air cover at the school. |

<<@Farman Get on the horn with HQ, get one of the Docs working on the Captain ASAP.>>
Sabs: Remind me who Farman is please?!? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Don’t forget you are cut off from main HQ because the satlink is down…the Cpt didn’t manage to get it online! That leaves you with Dahlia and the Squad 2 Medic as your only medical knowledge onsite! The combat mage might have some mojo to fling too…Sgt. Lee who is with you doesn’t! Are you going to try and re-establish contact with Outlaw or just wait for them to come back in range? They shouldn’t be out of range for more than another 5mins so you could just wait… What’s the gun on the Centaur? Range isn’t really an issue, just the intervening cover…a bullet will only go so far through a wood before it deflects on a tree! They won’t be out in the open really until they get the playing fields around the school! The squad is approx 350m from the school at 22:39. Klink: How fast are you pushing around to the North? Just want to get an idea of how long you’ll take to get to Hobbiton AStar: Sorry for dropping you in it but if you will hang about by yourself ‘behind enemy lines’ then a GM really can’t resist (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ork.gif) |

Faraman is the Sultan's Pilot program.
Well, I was hoping we weren't cut off anymore, Faraman will just have to report its' all broken and shit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Once that comes back, He'll try to contact Dahlia and get her back to the Sultan. He doesn't have the skills really to re-establish communications. (I mean other than a really good EW skill) You said I still had communications with my 2 drones that are on the Outlaw? Is that still true, if so, I'm gonna try to piggyback off them and get comms to the Outlaw that way. The Centaur is a 9P Sniper Rifle with ADPS rounds. Although, really if I had access to War! I would have filled the damn thing with AT rounds (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) -6 AP for the win. Depending ont he ammo the weapon does 9p -9AP or -11AP damage. That bullet can cut through probably a couple of trees and still be dangerous (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

No, sorry, you're out of range of the drones on Outlaw (more misscommunication from me sheesh (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) ) ...you can however move the retrans drone closer to the Redmond border to establish a connection that way! AT rounds might be a bit overkill against soft targets! |

Yeah, he'll move the retrans drone see if he can get into contact with the Outlaw that way. The Captain is after all down for the count.
So lets say it's got ADPS rounds (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) That's still 9P -9AP I've edited my post to show some changes in plans. |

I did say 'fast paced' in the intro block (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
I hope you're enjoying how things are going so far (even if they aren't entirely going your way!)??? I don't want to overwhelm you with stuff you can't deal with but I certainly don't want things to be too easy for you! Any comments on things so far? Cheers A |

I'm having a great time. Fast paced is fine by me. We'll just adapt as things progress.
As far as speed of movement, we're sneaking around the patrol thats heading to the school/house area. So not that fast. Once we break away from them, then we'll speed up. |

I do like it.. I'm just adjusting to having way less players than originally (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
And you know, I'm playing a Sgt support guy. Not a take charge guy! |

J. and Sabs - from 22:40 we'll be in a combat round between you, squad 2 and the centaur...still not pvp exactly as there aren't any active PCs in squad 2 at the moment (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Initiative please. Note on combat mods: partial light, good cover, I'm assuming neither of you are moving much yet... Klink, I'm going to assume that you'll be on the edge of Hobitton by 22:45 AStar, what's happening to you is more or less down to you...your commlink is buzzing off the hook though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I might not be able to post much in the next week and I'm sure you lot will be busy too but will do what I can to keep things moving!

Sabs, which way are you sending Dahlia? East towards Sultan or south towards the school (which is where I thought your rotadrones where headed?!?). The school is nearer and squad 2 is there...on the other hand it really won't take long for the LAV to go 1 klick! That is once you restrain the Cpt (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ork.gif)
