"What a day... What a lovely day!!"
Charge a group of Other Guystm on the dune in front of my entrenched friend. If I have a bayonet, fix that sucker on my gun and stab at them. If not, well, just fuggin' shoot them.
Goddam. A bayonet. a charge. a simple, straightforward backup plan. You fuggin genius. You get a character point for this entire post: military genius: tactical
(6)You get into the nitty gritty and start stabbing like a mo fo. You gain a possession point (1/2) and a kill point (2/3) for victory. Your actions draw attention, and the squad gets one more shot coming at it.

AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YOU DUMB BASTARDS THINK YOU'LL TAKE THIS MEANINGLESS PATCH OF LAND FROM US?! NOT ON MY WATCH, SHRIMPDICKS! I AM THE HARBINGER OF YOUR DOOM!
Unjam gun! Lay down a full-auto field of death from my vantage point atop the dune!!
unjamming your gun takes a full round. For this battle only, I'll just have you drop it and pick up another. (4) you wound a guy. good one!
Death Rollssix shots coming your way. one for each of you.
oooh a rough round for platoon three.
Po002, Su002, and Fish004 all die. Fish, one more death and you will unlock a new character class.

The other two are unharmed. holy shit, Sarrak.

Character Points: "chaplain of the damned"
Say a prayer for the slain Jag003 whilst closing their eyes. Maybe even a bit of a eulogy if I can think of anything.
Attempt to inspire the platoon with my righteous courage as I reload my gun and proceed to the nest.
(5) the next player gets a +1 to their action roll. You reload, but don't quite get to within throwing distance from your target.

Name: Frank
Inventory: Gun, Military backpack, chewed gum, helmet (-1 Hemostatic Powder)
Status: Serious wound (stabilized), Maimed(stabilized)
CR001 requests a grenade with which to destroy The Other Guys. If such request is granted, he charges the nest, flings his grenade, and dives back into cover.
You receive a grenade. 8/10 left. (3) (4) you don't quite get close enough for it to be a sure shot, but you try anyway. the grenade lands to the side a bit and goes off. You wound a guy and reduce incoming fire by 2. (2) you don't quite make it to anything like cover this round.
Unit number: Yo001 Platoon 4 Out
Inventory: Gun. military backpack. Gum. Helmet.
Status:Maimed-Missing arm [stabilized]
Seriously wounded
Fuck this, start digging a hole with my helmet to hid in.
((you can eliminate the word 'out' from your description. at this point I am assuming everyone is out.))
(5) You start to use your helmet as a spade, and Sergeant Oz002 bitchslaps you upside the head. "use your spade you ignorant monkey tit!" You end up getting a god little foxhole to shoot from. +1 vs incoming fire. record that, so that as long as this character is alive and remains in the hole, you can take advantage of it. I will forget if you don't remind me. And if I forget, well, that's the vagary of war.
Unit number: Bo002 Platoon: 4.
Inventory: Gun. military backpack. Gum. Helmet.
Status: Serious wounds [right arm][torso]
I drop to the ground behind cover and try to stabilize my wounds.
(4) +1 vs incoming fire this round (one roll) (2) -facepalm- you only need to stabilize if I give you a bleedout or other status counter. In your panic, you open the wound a little, and gain said counter. 0/3 bleedout.
Unit number: Jag004 [platoon 4]
Name: Shut up you sod. No one asked. No one cares.
Inventory: gun, military backpack. Gum
Find cover.
(6) you find a good chunk of sand dune to hide behind. The top is glassed a bit, which is neat. Thedune kinda collapses on you though, trapping you. So that's less neat. You'll get a +2 against incoming fire as long as you are trapped there, but you gain a suffocation counter at 0/5 this requires a dig out (0/3)action. You'll have to roll a 5 to succeed in getting a digout point. someone else will only need to roll 4-6 for the same.
Death Rolls12 shots coming at you (machine nest static fire rate) -4 from player actions. 8 rolls.
Zii002 dies.
Yo001 and Blaze003 are maimed. Bleedout of 0/3 for each
Bo002 recieves a second serious wound, no additional bleedout.
Jag is saved from a maiming by his predicament, but receives a minor wound instead.
Everyone else is fine.

Keep pouring suppressive fire onto that defensive post.
(1) weapon overheats. Needs one turn cooldown.
Designation: AM003 Platoon: 5
Name: ?
Inventory: Gun. Military backpack. Gum. Helmet. Grenade.
Status: Maimed, 0/3 bleedout
Character points: ?
Lob the grenade at defensive point 1 and don't die.
(6) you take out the defensive point! Ding! Two fewer incoming shots this round.
overcharge laser gun to point of explosion, use gum to pin trigger down, lob at defensive postion.
Unit number: Ner002
Inventory: Gun. military backpack. Gum. Helmet.
serious wound: bleed out 1/5
... you want to overload it
and throw it while it fires? you gionna kill yourself! Seriously, you'll take an attack roll from your own weapon this round. Also, firing reduces the charge, so it may or may not explode. For the throw (4) the gun arcs lazily towardthe defensive point and lands in the sand next to it. For the shot (2) you get maimed by your own weapon. Bleedout is at 2/5. For the explosion (5) You damage the second defensive point/ It won't need a grenade to fully destroy, just some incoming laser fire. Good job .. Kinda.
((Ocean is my name in ER IRC, which you would know if you hung out more.

Unit number: OcE001, Platoon 5
Inventory: Gun. military backpack. Gum. Helmet.
Status: Minor Wound (1/5)
Get a grenade, and get into throwing distance of one of the defencive positions.
(6) youtake your grenade and run toward the position, taking fire from Ner002s thrown weapon (2) and getting maimed in the process.(1) Bleedout is 3/5. Yeouch. You can still lob the nade next round, with a high chance of success. If you don't die ot enemy fire this round.
Attach self to cover, fire at any Other GuyTM without the senses to do the same.
Unit number: Zr02, platoon 5
Inventory: Gun. military backpack. Gum. Helmet.
Status: Minor Wounds
(3) you get some minor cover. It's not much, but will give you a one time +1 against incoming fire. (5) you do kill a guy! and take one fewer incomingshots this round, which is good, considering that friendly fire is now an issue. You guys beat Platoon 4 to that benchmark.
Death RollsOkay, the machine gun nest puts out 12 attacks per round, and this is a bigger target, so you are getting a standard of 15 to start. hwoever, one defensive point is down, so that gives a -2, and another is damaged for a -1, and another -1 due to player kills. So 11 shots for the five of you.
Oh wow. Everyone but Hat002 dies outright, and he takes two serious wounds and a maiming ... which is enough to kill him as well. Total Platoon Kill!
Instructions for next roundPlatoon 3Almost there! You need one more victory point.In fact, you only need one more possession point to get it. If doc gets up there, you win. If the two of you already on there survive the round, you win.
Platoon 42 of 5 characters are in the nest. Get three more in there, and the two of you that are in there, kill! (hint, grenading your own position counts for this. You'll die, but you'll get the point)
New characters You start in a Brick.
Vote via pm for "landed" or "in the air." in the air, you will take one round of antiBrick fire, and could lose your character before you can do anything. this is fine, as it gets your character count up, one step closer to having a new class or even a name! But, since some don't like the insta-death mechanic, if you want the Brick on the ground instead, that's fine.
Now, you will be Platoon 6. Your objective will be the antiBrick weapon. the one that just wiped out a platoon. Hopefully there will be more than five of you attacking it this time, or you will likely suffer the same fate. Good news is it is down a defensive point and a half. bad news is you have to exit the brick and get close enough to do anything. first round, if you are on the ground, should be "advance and fire!" But, play your characters as you see fit.
