 More people to start with is always good.

How do you roll initiative for a draftee? Is it 1D6+2 or 1D6 divided by 2?

Also is there any equipment that I should specifically purchase?

It's 1D6+2 and round down, re-roll if 0.

There no equipment that you really need purchase, you get the basic personal load (Page 64) for free.

Got it. I guess rolling a 6 and getting an initiative of 8 took me a back. I don't expect to be lucky for some reason.

I was actually asking if there's anything that the team really needs for its group inventory. I should have the time today to quickly scan over everyone's inventory. I'll try to fill any gaps we might have. It shouldn't take too long with only 5000 to spend.

[Aseaheru]

 What sorta skills do you have? Do you have gunsmith? If you have gunsmith, we could use a fair few tools for reloading ammunition.

 Also, did anyone bring a battery charger?

[Funk]

I'm not a fan of you reloading ammunition, it's ether away for you to cheaply buy ammo for the larger guns or a waste of time and money over buying normal ammo.

[3_14159]

It's 1D6+2 and round down, re-roll if 0.

Actually, I think this might actually be 1D6 divided by 2 - 1d6+2 will never have any rounding issues, just as 1d6+2 rounded down can never be 0.

For group inventory, I guess this might be explosives if your character can use them. I'd also add medical supplies, but they're all rare.
For your own inventory, I'd suggest at least the following: A hatchet, a 0.5km hand radio, binoculars, IR goggles, a geiger counter, a kevlar vest, and helmet (unless American, where you get them for free). I'd also recommend weapons firing either 5.56 N or 7.62N, since that's what we have much ammo of. But you probably already have all or most of that.

Also, did anyone bring a battery charger?

Yup.

I made a civilian farmer. It ossibly could have been more optimal to make a civilian mechanic or gunsmith for a more balanced group composition, but not everything has to min-maxed I guess. As for my equipment, I have to actually go back and define what's actually on my character at some point. Also I might revisit the purchases given that I still have $230 left.

[Aseaheru]

 We got a fair amount of .32ACP and 5.45...

Looks great! With some fields, we definitely won't starve now :-)
Does anybody know where I can find farming rules?

We got a fair amount of .32ACP and 5.45...

True enough.

I'm going to go and write up my equipment.

Also, @Funk: If I remember correctly from last game, shooting a certain body part increases difficulty by one, but I can't find the corresponding rules. Do you know where to find them?

[Aseaheru]

 I cant find the farming rules via searching the rulebook. Rules for shooting things start on 201, and I cant see anything on aiming for specific limbs there.

[StrawBarrel]

Page 151 just says that farming is a Hard Work task. So if we do any long term farming, I guess we have cook something up for the game.
