((no long-range bonus? okay.))

I forgot to take that into account. I should say that I'm a novice GM and will later have a method for keeping
better track of that stuff.

What does RMA stand for?

I'll wait until that's answered to post an action.

EDIT: would my high tolerance negate my concussion penalties?

As for your question glass, RMA = Requires Medic's Attention. And no. Your skill won't negate it, but it will reduce the time before it wears off once a medic sees you.

Okay.

How much penalty does the concussion give to my actions? Would high tolerance at least reduce that a bit?

Anyway, radio in a request for a medic and hunker down, minimizing the area that the Nazis can use to shoot me.

another salvo is sent out to the radioed location killing the bulk of the 1st airborne division

((A division is made up of thousands of people, so I think that's probably not the word you were looking for. It took 3 waves of a little less than 100 aircraft each to drop the entire 101st Airborne division on D-day, and those drops were all some time apart, and separated by a good amount of distance because it takes a lot of space to drop airborne troops safely. Plus, it's unlikely for an entire division to be gathered in an area small enough for even naval artillery to wipe out the majority of them in a single fire mission.))

((Also, I don't know this for a fact, but I would think that a radioman would rate at least PFC just for his technical skills, but my guess is a radioman would be a corporal or a sergeant. Early enlisted promotions are easy to earn just with education.

Note: In combat, this wouldn't necessarily give him authority over people with lower ranks, because typically only NCOs with assigned command responsibility like the platoon sergeant or squad leader have a good reason to exercise their privilege, and, practically speaking, as a soldier you would normally only answer to NCOs or officers who are directly above you in your company's organization (lieutenants give orders to sergeants and sergeants give orders to corporals and privates).))

((Cool game! I'm enjoying reading it.))

I really appreciate that nitpick here, so in response, here's a few explanations as to why it is the way it is.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I'm going to say that, for the wrong size of the division, it's that I didn't know the actual size of a division when I started out, but I did know that they were really spread out due to having to individually​ jump out of the plane and then weather conditions,
but then, if someone from it dies, where would a replacement come from besides another plane at the exact right time, not to mention the having to land several times would get frustrating, especially if there are two to three enemy rolls,
a position roll, and a survival roll. That and to make it easier to just pick up a new guy straight out of the bunch and put him into the fray immediately.

That small grouping is exactly why they were mostly wiped out by a single Artillery battery.


As for the ranking of a radioman, it will become a mechanic later on. For now, it's just a go with the flow kinda thing. That and I'm sure snipers, several medics, and bazooka wielding soldiers would be higher ranks that PFC. But, this is just to show new characters as being new. Can't have a S/SGT die and a new S/SGT come up in his place if the company is full of nothing but PFCs. And since, for now, the respawning is roughly unlimited, it really wouldn't make sense to have five to eight Captains in one landing craft/plane.

But yes, you are completely right about the rank being a semi training/knowledge based thing, and especially so if you are a radio operator or general Intelligence community. 

((Glad to hear it.))

Okay.

Well. It'll get rid of the pain debuff, but the effects of the concussion remain. (The effects(-1 in high light and noise environs, -1 to cognitive function rolls, and Food doesn't give buffs) are active until it subsides.)

Yeah, the pain was the part I was asking about. Sounds good.

TURN 4


Landing Craft 1

Try to shoot the guy manning the MG closest to me

[5+2] Firing his BAR precisely at the best’s gunner, Pvt. Reynolds hits and kills the loader and gunner of the nest. It will take a bit for the Nazis to get it back up and shooting again, so the soldiers go inland, right into the minefield. [1] None of the advancing men make it past the minefield and to the sea wall.

[4] Managing to at last find a usable medkit, missing only the morphine, Pvt. Smith takes a handful of bandages and begins to stop the bleeding. [3] He can't quite stop the bleeding and his hands start to get shaky from blood loss. [6] Having ran out into the midst of the LC2 crew, Smith manages to attract the attention of the gunner, who throws hell at the wounded soldier. They miss him and instead take out the last of the reinforcements for LC2.

Stay in cover.

 [4] Deciding to stay in cover, Pvt. Siegfried manages to keep himself alive while watching his friends from LC2 get slaughtered.

welp, I've got little choice here, I can't make the sprint with a crippled leg. I fight through the pain, work the bolt to extract the dud, and attempt to take that MG out once more.

[6] Pulling back the bolt again to kick out the did round, Pvt. Nightingale prepares to kill this poor fool on the gun. He breathes in one last time, before exhaling and squeezing out a round that shatters the man's skull to bits. The little puff of red, pink, and white sinks down onto the dead Nazi as he falls to the ground. The flash gives away Nightingale’s position to another sniper! The sniper fires and [3] misses narrowly, but just enough to make Nightingale hide in his cover.

radio in a request for a medic and hunker down, minimizing the area that the Nazis can use to shoot me.

[6] About the same time as he reaches for the radio, Pvt. Grey sees a couple medics running around the defilade looking for survivors. Hailing one of them to his location, Grey get some of the medical attention he needs. His head is bandaged and he's given some morphine for the headache. After that is finished, the medic’s head suddenly explodes into brains and skull fragments. He's down before the report of the rifle is heard. His buddy hits the deck in time to miss the bullet meant for him. [6] Pvt. Grey ducks into cover of the defilade wall, but bumps into the loosened stones causing a small rock slide down the wall. This reveals the other medic, who then is shot in the gut.

End Turn 4

[Glass]

Crab. Two medics down... that's gonna smart in the long run.

For now, though, again, hunker down to avoid being shot, and if anyone starts shooting at me, use my quick reflexes to not get shot.
If I can see any large groupings of Nazis, then radio in their position. Don't radio in my position, the way I did last time.

[Lenglon]

diving under the water, I shift to another point in the shallows. staying someplace already zero'd by an enemy sniper is suicidal. once I've repositioned, I'll begin treatment of my injuries, using the rags of nearby uniforms to staunch the bleeding. and help me regain limited use of my injured limbs.
((Pvt Nightingale isn't technically a sniper btw. he's a marksman. The difference is snipers usually are solo or pairs, and HEAVILLY trained in stealth and survival skills, often used more as scouts than assassins but very good as assassins when the time comes. a marksman acompanies a normal infantry platoon, and does not have the solo operations, stealth, or survival traing of a true sniper. Their job is mostly exactly what pvt nightingale is doing right now - pick off high threat individuals or enemies firing from cover. meaning the machinegunners in this situation.))

[Enemy post]

Use my bazooka to take out the still fully functioning bunker.

[S34N1C]

Fire at the next nest

((Fair point, Lenglon. Also there's a discord. It is Here.))

 Name: 2nd Lt Lewis Ferman Lucielle, aka "Lucky", "Lucy", and "Lucifer"
Skills:
Better to be lucky than good: +3 on all defensive/luck checks, -2 on all actions, -3 at using a weapon. note that this means he literally can never hit his target.

Can't spell lost without LT: Lt Lucy and anyone who chooses to follow, acompany, escort, travel with, etc. him are prone to getting physics-defyingly lost. attempts to reach a specific location will NEVER get you there, though anywhere ELSE is fully possible. attempts to go in a general direction will only sometimes work out, others who knows what'll happen. attempts to go someplace inaccessable or nonsensical will fail to trigger this ability. This does mean Lt might be able to get past a tall wall by trying to walk away from it, and then be unable to get back by just walking back.
additionally, every turn LT has a chance of losing stuff from his inventory, probably something not in use at the time but not necessarilly.
You're doing WHAT?: LT Lucifer is not a player character exactly. He is run as a suggestion game character, anyone at all (including the GM) can submit actions for him. If no actions are submitted for him, then he copies the action of a randomly selected PC. with no limits on which PC he copies. Nonsensical results are handled the same as if a player had submitted nonsensical actions.

Assign him to the airborne division. XD
Watch him land at the Nazi base trying to show up on the beach.

Absolutely. This has my complete approval.
