This guy right here.

Spoiler: Stats (click to show/hide)

These are the stats we'll be using. 0 points in a stat confers a -1 modifier, and every two points in a stat provides a +1 modifier to it, therefore: 0=-1, 1=+0, 2=+1, 3=+1, 4=+2, etc. Having one point in a stat is "average" and does not modify an action.

You have eight points, assign them please:

STR -
DEX -
CON -
INT -
PER -
CHA -

Check the OP if you're not sure what these stats actually do.

Crew Chief Raulins
I never said you had to kill everyone. All I said was no one can escape the area of operations, whether human or exotic. Its your call how you go about that.

The area is occupied by a single two-story farmhous as well as a barn. There are two small cornfields and we suspect that the craft is located in one of them.

Edit'd. Better mix.

So I am definately going to be the point man, dodging with ferocious swiftness and making split second decisions with fine tuned awareness. A heavy gunner would be nice with some charismatic individual and some general gunners.

I do not know, but the crew chief called them exotics.  I say we look at this as if they are terrorist humans.  Unless they prove otherwise, the enemy is to be treated as any other enemy.  First thing we do when we touch down is to occupy any available cover.  We have the machine gunner and the shotgun man clearing a building with the SMG man to help.  The Radioman and the Radarman should set up a position out in the open.  They should be covered by those hidden in the buildings.  The other remaining two the one with the rifle and the one with the assault rifle should deploy to the right of the helicopter, in the field using what ever works as cover.  By the time we set up, we should have covered a good amount of ground, and be able to support the radar team.  I will be with the radar team assessing the battlefield.  The radar team should be a very good target for the aliens.  We'll either run into them when deploying or we'll find them with the radar.  Any objections? (I had been expecting a more city battle, but farms work too.  Sort of)

GM. Do we have any form of battlefield communication?  It would be adamant to get some form of team speak if otherwise, in the form of a helmet.

You've got a radio for contacting May, Global Ops, other teams and air support, but no team speak.

EDIT: Also, you shouldn't really be concerned about objections. You're in command. Just tell them what to do.

"Well that a little less troubling."

"Sorry if I missed anything, but shouldn't we actually try to scout and see which building the craft is in? I can do that for ya.
Andy Smith, by the way, pleased to meet ya."

"Sir, I feel like our assets would be better utilized if myself and the shotgunner cleared rooms while the machine gunner remained outside for enemy contact and suppression. That is the machine guns general use after all.

I always lead from the front with my CIA fire team, sir. I would be hard pressed to change."

Machine guns are heavy and nearly completely inaccurate from the standing. They are best used on area targets at medium range. When clearing a room you will want a full auto weapon or a shotgun, ie. SMG and shotgun. (USMC uses M16 and M4 on burst fire while the SAW is used to provide target suppression for targets 100 to 400 meters away. clearing rooms with such a weapon would be a huge bitch seeing as it can not be shot in the standing, it is best shot in the prone, or laying down position.)

[Parsely]

The machine gun you guys have is much heavier than a SAW. You can't fire it standing without knocking your own ass down. You could fire it from cover, such as from a window, but its ideally used with the tripod of course. Its the reason they gave it to you on this operation. Plenty of open ground to set up.

Tripod or bipod? Because if it is a tripod then that things is a fucking beast.

And I realize we really aren't going to account for this but how many rounds would the MG run with? For RP sake, regarding weight. ( I know a SAW gunner who used to load out with 1000 rounds on each patrol in Afghanistan.)

Tripod. I said tripod. Its a tripod.

I edit'd. I have another question.

[Parsely]

Counting ammo is no fun, so thats why I gave you guys an infinite ammo backpack. Usually you guys will just run out whenever it sounds right/when I feel like it. The pack will run out as well.
Since you asked though, lets say one belt is good for about 8 seconds of continuous firing, which is pretty good.

Decent. Remember to change barrels after 10 minutes of continuous fire.

Just kidding. I'll quit talking shop. So GM I think we have done all we can do save for take off sooo... Are we still waiting on the pilot?

[Parsely]

Yes, please stop "talking shop". Anyhow, yeah ElfCollaborator said yesterday that he didn't have access to his computer so he might not even get to update today. Once he's done then we can just go.
