Review new Shooter equipment. Keep my head down and scan the horizon for the enemy.

Ride in the thing. Make small-talk and tempt my superiors with DRUGGSSS. They will help with the fear. And the pain. And the long shifts.
Offer them good price, very good price, yes.
beautiful summary which i deleted for space.

Platoon 6 death rollsWell, you knew this was coming. Enemy fire comes raining onto your position! (1) ... and destroys your AT APC with all hands.
Ouch.
next round, everyone is in one of the sister AT-APCs. One that
didn't immediately get immolated by heavier than anticipated antimateriel weaponry. That APC will take evasive maneuvers, stop next to an embankment, and open the back doors for you to get out and find the enemy. So your action should be along the lines of "get out, and look for the target. Try not to die."
Platoon 8You guys are in airboats, going over the sand, entering a living desert, full of brush, cacti, and lizards. Your target is a herd of dune worms. They are threatening a ... who cares why you have to fight them. Your job is to point the gun, not to know why.

Inventory: gun, military backpack. Gum
status: doin' fine
Character point:
endurance: suffocation
character class: tunnel rat.
rank private
Minor wound: 0/5
suffocation: 0/5
Admire the gear that comes with the tunnel rat class….Assuming that tunnel rat has gear. Either way ride on the fan boat and mutter about having better odds of survival back when I was trapped in the hole.
there is no platoon 4. You in 8 now, buddy.
the tunnel rat gets the usual stuff, plus two sidearms for use in tunnels, and a bigass knife for stabbing a bitch. (4) "Doomed, I tell ya. We're all doomed. look at these boats. We're exposed. Look at those cacti. Huge. Gotta be poisonous. Branch! Warned ya, ya fool. And those fan blades will slice a man into bits as soon as look at you. God, I miss choking to death on sand." ((bork's link has the right idea for tunnel rats. if there's something about them that i missed, let me know, if it's relevant.))

Check over my bag as we travel. Keep head down.
(2) you start to rifle throug hthe bag, when a belated "branch!" is called from ahead. You duck a bit too late and get knocked on your ass in the boat. You are dazed: 3/3 this will count down one per round, and at 0/3 you will be able to act normally again.

Chew gum to distract yourself from the prospect of imminent death
(2) you accidentally inhale your gum flavored chewing resin, choke on it for a minute, and finally cough it out into the sand, where a lizard immediately swallows it, falls off the cactus it was on, and twitches, laying on it's back, until it goes still. "Oh God! We're next!"

Riding in the fanboat, Twiddling my thumbs, Picking the nose, Drinking vodka.
This guy knows how to Navy. (6) You put on an impressive performance with your thumbs up your nostrils and your fingers interlaced. No vodka for you. You take a swig of some Artificial Diluted Rubbing Alcohol substitute, choke a little, and blow most of it out your nose. It stings. take a minor wound and the status: burning nostrils: 5/5. this is a countdown timer and when it hits 0 you will no longer be affected.
Why would I want modern, non steampunk airships? Leave that foolishness to the sprts stadiums and tire companies.

Ride in Airboat. Keep gun at ready. Shoot first enemy that comes into sight.
(5) You peg the largest hornet you've ever seen, blowing it to smithereens. A wing the size of your forearm lands in the boat. The dagger-like stinger goes sailing ,end over end into the scrub brush.
Y'know what the first 'mission' reminded me of? The beach invasion scene from Edge of Tomorrow. But other than that, hi, new character, no idea what platoon I'm in.

Stand awkwardly in place trying to figure out where I'm supposed to be.

Unit Number: Ra01
Equipment:Gun. military backpack. Gum. Helmet.
Welcome to war. Hold on to your ass.
Platoon 8 death rollsHere we go. incoming! The ground shakes violently below you, and you hear a sound like millions of termites eating their way through hard wood right next to your head. (4) the ground erupts in front of you, and a worm, ten feet tall, bursts out of the ground, spraying your airboat with sand, rock, and bits of vegetation - some of it quite prickly. No one is seriously injured. The airboat takes evasive action and comes to a rest for you to unload and kill. you see other worms erupting from the ground nearby, and other airboats preparing to engage, or getting torn apart by a worm bursting out right below. the screams have begun.
Instructions for next roundEveryone: You don't need to include status markers unless you are actually bleeding, burnt, or asphyxiating (suffocating). bleeding (0/3) means: the gm will now roll to see if you gain a bleedout point. three of those and you die. same with the others.
Platoon 6: basically, just tick your unit number up one, lose any loot and revert to your class' standard kit, and disembark. The enemy is ahead, through a narrow canyon filled with rock pillars. there is a stone wall, and you are tasked with taking that, finding the three mortars, and so forth.
Platoon 8:disembark and shoot the things.
