UPDATE!
Turn 6 Results14:42 Earth StandardThe firefight continues to rage all across the village. Though everyone seems to notice that the fire from the rebels on the left and right flank have all but stopped. Especially the rebels who were holding the western flank. Several rebels are spotted slinking away back towards the village as low to the ground as possible, while on the right flank, they seem to be holding a fighting retreat.
The PDF in the middle of the field still seem to be holding, undeterred by the awry barrage of death that landed behind them.
The remains of the HQ and 2nd Squad continue to pour on fire at the enemy as they fall back, determined to make them pay for the casualties they've caused. You think you spot another soldier fall, but he may have dove for cover.
Fighting results:
HQ Squad
1 hit:
Radioman: (Roll: 5, suppressed)
On the left, The soldier and his wounded comrade stuck in the open take the pause in firing to try and make it to cover, he manages to drag his injured friend to the edge of the tree line. As the enemy try and do the same with their own men, the lasguns and grenade launchers of 1st and 3rd squad cut down a number of the fleeing soldiers.
In the middle, the PDF continue their punishing attack on weapons squad, though it is evident they too are slowly pulling back. Joined by the Grenade Launcher guarding the medic of Squad 3 they lay more fire on the rebels, causing them to duck back.
Fighting results:
Weapons Squad
3 hits
Loader: 2 hits (Roll 3,5) Suppressed
C.C. Hostilian: 1 hit (Roll 5) Suppressed
Finally Sgt. Lisk heard the inbound correction fire from the Basilisk battery. (Roll: 3+4= slight miss) It was off again, this time to the right, but not as badly as before. The trees around the PDF are pulverized as the rebel soldiers dive for for little cover the woods will provide them from the monstrous Basilisk shells.
Rolls for wounded stability:
(Roll: 5,7,7,4) all alive:
Platoon Sgt: Needs stabilizing
Radioman: 2 More minutes

The HQ Squad's medic yells at the LT.
“Call the medivac already! These guys need to get out of hear!”((I made combat less lethal, but you guys made up for it by some awesome rolling, especially on the left flank. Way to give em what for!
Also of note: just because you don't see a model on the board doesn't mean it's not there!))
