[Aigre Excalibur]

I can't keep track of all the suggestions and non-mission posts properly. I'll still try to minimize the footprint, but we'll use this to keep track of things like armory proposals.

We could also do testing and development here. It should give dead/respawned people something to do. I could also run mini VR scenarios like room clearing exercises and firing battle drills here for billeted characters.

https://www.elon.edu/docs/e-web/academics/elon_college/rotc/common_battle_drills_for_all_infantry_units.pdf

http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/policy/army/fm/7-7j/CH3.htm

I suppose on mission characters can also take part in drills on imaginary characters.

Current char sheet form and armory:

Character Sheets:
Almost exactly the same as ER. Unconventional and Exotic are turned into melee and explosive skills respectively. General Knowledge is now science, which is used in data collection and specimen handling.  There is no war magic in this 21st century world.

All characters are assumed to have basic training with guns, for a hidden +1 to fire-arms.

Take 1 free level up, they'll need it.

Pay is $10,000 sign on bounty and $10,000 per mission.

We'll modify the M203 HE grenade to HEDP for the next mission. It's an anti-armor shaped charge with a fragmentation shell. Costs the same.

: Proposed Weapons:
We need a PDW calibre weapon to replace the UMP.
P90 or MP-7 are suggested.

5000 P90 (w SOPMOD)
Ammo: FN 5.7x28mm AP-FMJ by default. 50 round clip (not a steel-core AP round. it's just lead or aluminum in an over-pressured cartridge)

Range: Melee:0 Short:+1  Medium:-1 Long:Na  Extreme:Na
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FN_P90

4000 MP-7
Ammo: HK 4.6x30mm AP-FMJ 30 round clip by default (not a steel-core AP round. it's just lead or aluminum in an over-pressured cartridge)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HK_4.6%C3%9730mm
Range: Melee:+1 Short:+1  Medium:-1 Long:Na  Extreme:Na
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heckler_%26_Koch_MP7

Or 9mm over-pressured rounds. (the russian answer to the PDW caliber) Used in newer SMGs like the PP-2000. Or you can squeeze em into older models.

Flamethrowers:

M9A1-7:
Ammo: 2 Gallon tank, 1/2 Gallon per second fire-rate
Range: Short, 20-40m

Stealthy melee breach.

The Cabin in the Woods:

Achilles drives you several miles from the safehouse in a "borrowed" black minivan, claiming orders for a secret training mission. His driving is bad and bumpy. You head deep into the countryside.

Upon further questioning, he tells you that the beds at base are cold. But intel came in on a group of college kids on vacation moving into a nearby cabin. He wants to kill the men and take their women.

Intel suggests about 8 individuals, 4 men, 4 women, armed with civilian weapons - hunting rifles, handguns and shotguns. Target is a wooden cabin-house surrounded by forest.

It's a live-fire exercise. And you're not even getting paid.

"That's very nice but uh.
We are talking about aliens here, right?"

[Aigre Excalibur]

"That's very nice but uh.
We are talking about aliens here, right?"

Nope. Achilles is being himself. He spend most of his career raiding people for self-gain without second thoughts. He has also dragged you along for this adventure.

"Of course they are aliens, they aren't one of us are they?

Think of the plunder, brother! Those females look healthy enough and your bed will be warm tonight! Summon your valour and this prize will be yours!"

[Egan_BW]

"I care not for plunder brother. Only to protect our glorious earth, from the vile invaders that threaten it.
If you would lead me to attack the great and noble people of this earth, the very people I am sworn to protect, ^{_{before the Great Commandy One, bess his name}} than what makes you better than them!?"

[Aigre Excalibur]

Achilles grumbles, cursing your cowardice and how no one would remember your name as you return home.

The same scenario is plugged into the VR. Same objectives, be sneaky, take prisoners... but it's all virtual.

[Egan_BW]

"Good enough."
Wait for nightfall, and sneak in the east door while Achilles goes in the west.
