Mediocre Fred feels? Teddy change and thinks to himself, Weirdest damned outfit I've ever seen. He stays low—Fred doesn't remember much of his training, but he remembers that—and shoots at anyone shooting at him, while trying to crawl forward.

Teddy
In a blink of an eye Teddy found himself teleported to a new position, "Holy- Did I do that!?" he thought to himself before focusing on the two enemies in front of him. Quickly acting he fires two blasts at their backs before getting a grenade prepped for the mortar team he can inexplicably hear now, what a day!

Re: WW2 Supers d6: MISSION ZERO; FALL OF THE PHILIPPINES
Early morning of 8 February, 1942; Agloloma Bay, near 'Point Quinuan', one of 'The Points', South West Coast of the Bataan Peninsula on the island of Luzon, Philippines
The battle near the beach of Agloloma Bay continued as a couple of Japanese Riflemen fired their long Arisaka Rifles at the group of 25 or so Americans fighting them, one of them scoring a hit and sending one of Ed Dyess's hand-picked soldiers spiraling to the beach with a hole in his head, never to rise again....
SGT Acme, followed by RM3 Fred Roker and CPL Charlie 'Dutch' Van Horn, stayed low and crawled towards the enemies' flanks while Gurkha Gurung and PFC MacGyver both opened fire....
Gurung worked his SMLE rifle's bolt quickly as he fired two shots at an enemy solider, annoyed when he JUST missed with his first shot and then pleased when his second shot slammed into the enemy's shoulder....not quite taking him down, but certainly hurting him.....
Wade MacGyver took careful aim with his Thompson and he put a nice 5 round burst into the chest of the same Japanese Rifleman's chest that Gurung had just wounded and that threat was permanently ended....
Meanwhile, now suddenly Teleported to a. position just 10 yards away from the Japanese riflemen, PFC Theodore 'Teddy' Gomez found himself in a PERFECT position to ambush the enemy. One of the two Rifleman was suddenly hit by a single shot, then did the 'machine-gun cha-cha' and fell unmoving to the ground as a burst of fire hit him. Switching his aim to the surviving Rifleman, Teddy fired a couple of blasts from his Trench Gun, his first missing wide right, but the second smashed full-bore into the center of the man's torso and knocked him to the ground and into the next plane of existence....
Teddy then slung his shotgun as he pulled out his grenade watching as the two mortar-men used thier 'knee-mortar' grenade launchers to launch a couple of grenade/mortar rounds towards the Americans. One round went too far and exploded in the ocean water a few feet from the beach, kicking up spray. The other landed about 5 yards behind a pair of soldiers close to Wade and Gurung and both fell to the ground yelling and clutching wounds as the shrapnel from the blast lanced into them.....

Gurung
Gurung leaps to his feet and rushes the emplacement,
Screaming as he rushes, "Medic!"
If he finds a Japanese target he will shoot once, otherwise he will take cover in there emplacement.

Dutch decides he's in a good place to fight from. He takes aim the apparent leader of the nearest group. Two shots.
I hate to ask the GM for more work- but could we get a map? I'm having trouble picturing this scene.

Teddy
Cursing his timing Teddy lobs his frag grenade at the mortar team hoping to stop them for good before ducking behind cover to reload his trenching.
Teddy has fired 5 out of 6 shells I believe, and I think it's one action per shell to reload. Will that lower my chances on his thrown weapons test?

Re: WW2 Supers d6: MISSION ZERO; FALL OF THE PHILIPPINES
OOC: Okay, a few things here......
Hadari: Teddy actually has 2 shells still in his Shotgun....he can reload as many as he likes, but each one counts as an action for purposes of impacting other actions, like throwing a grenade, so I'd recommend waiting to reload....Metagame, you're going to get a moment to reload after the mortar team is dealt with so don't stress...but in the future, yes, reloading each shell counts as 1 action
Urson: As stated above, meta-game wise, I don't think a map is really needed right now, but I'll keep that in mind in the future, sorry about the current situation!
All: Interesting fact about Medics.....in the Army (and presumably in the British Army/Gurkha units as well; also note that Army Air Corps pilots/members....like Dyess and many of the people assaulting the beach with you right now) they are known as Medics, but in the United States Navy and Marine Corps, 'Medics' are known as "Corpsmen" (plural...'Corpsman' singular)....pronounced 'Core-men' (singular or plural) and are ALWAYS Naval enlisted men with the rating of Pharmacist's Mate (PH2 would be Pharmacist's Mate 2nd Class....CPH would be Chief Pharmacist's Mate, etc.)....Officers serving as Medical Personnel are known as "Doctor".
Which leads to an interesting situation in this particular circumstance...a bunch of Air Corps, Army, Marines, Sailors AND a Gurkha......still, yelling out "Medic"....pretty much is universally understood. I just thought I'd bring that up!
By the by....that is STILL the case today.......U.S. Marines are STILL supported by Corpsmen who are always U.S. Navy personnel.......interesting personal note, my paternal grandfather was a Navy Corpsman.....he served 4 years in the Navy in the 30s (he had my Dad in his 40s in 1951) and he went into Nicaragua with some Marines during the 'banana wars' in the 1930s hunting 'rebels' (i.e. anybody who dared fight against the rich moneyed ruling class of most Latin American countries...who usually had major trading deals with Europe or the U.S., such as Banana companies, etc....hence the name for the conflicts).....and while doing so, he tripped a wire that set off a home-made bomb (a 1930s IED) and got some shrapnel in the leg.....only guy wounded on the patrol.....the medic/Corpsman!
Anyway, I hope that all helped!

As the shell explodes behind him, Marvin gets off his belly and races for the treeline. He mentally follows the mortar trajectory to track where it came from and moves quickly to engage.
If he's able to spot them, he'll take a shot.

Re: WW2 Supers d6: MISSION ZERO; FALL OF THE PHILIPPINES
Mid morning of 8 February, 1942; Agloloma Bay, near 'Point Quinuan', one of 'The Points', South West Coast of the Bataan Peninsula on the island of Luzon, Philippines
Teddy squeezed the lever, pulled the pin, let the 'spoon' fly off and hurled the grenade....watched it bounce once, twice...then roll right next to the Japanese solider and explode with enough force to eliminate that threat forever and in moments, most of the mixed force of American Army Air Corps troops, Marines and Navy sailors were at his position. Due to those wounded and fallen, the numbers had dwindled to about a fifteen and they carefully moved up the hillside to make contact with the American forces the top of the 'point'....
The mixed American and Filipino soldiers informed them that the last pockets of Japanese resistance were now dug into a couple of caves on the rocky bluff and over the course of about an hour, Captain Dyess led the remnants of his force to get into position to make the assaults. He personally would lead a squad of 8 men; with his Lewis gun providing covering fire on one cave, while SGT Acme and a mostly "Super" Squad consisting of Rifleman Gurung, RM3 Roker, PFC Gomez, and three 'non supers': CPL VanHorn, PFC MacGyver and a scrappy little Air Corps PFC named Walthrop.
As they carefully made their way down a rocky 'trail' towards the cave mouth that the Japanese soldiers had shifted some rocks in front of us as a make-shift barricade; the Americans had to switch to single-file due to the difficulty of navigating to the cave opening, which was also somewhat diagonally positioned away from them, making shooting into it, or more importantly, hurling a grenade into it, problematic...
Walthrop took point with MacGyver behind him, then Acme, then Gomez then Roker, then Gurung and finally VanHorn at the end of the 'column'. They moved carefully and slowly along the 50 or so yard long trail...stopping every few steps to see if any threats presented themselves. Walthrop had gotten to about 25 yards from the mouth when a Japanese soldier carefully leaned out with a long Arisaka Rifle and took aim....
Walthrop quickly snapped up his Springfield Rifle and fired first...but unfortunately for him, his shot missed high and ricocheted loudly off of a rock. The Japanese soldier's careful shot however hit the poor PFC right in the chest. He tensed up for a second, then fell off the side of the trail; his body dropping and smashing into several rock outcropping along the side before coming to a rest some 30 feet down the side of the cliff....
Right behind him, Wade couldn't help but follow the body's fall for a moment before snapping back to see that the Japanese solider was still taking aim and that HE was now next in line as the target. In that moment, a strange feeling came over him and without really understanding HOW, a disk of bluish-white energy, perhaps a yard long in diameter suddenly sprang into existence in front of him. A moment later, the Arisaka rifle barked and with a sound not unlike that of poor Walthrop's ricochet moments earlier, the bullet hit the disk and its path was altered......
Behind him in line, Acme, Gomez, Gurung and Roker all could see/hear/smell/feel that a NEW Talent had arrived.....PFC Wade MacGyver.....
***OOC: Okay, Greywolf, you now have 3 rounds to utilize any of your 3 Powers before having to try and maintain the Powers with a Will Power roll. You are 25 yards from the cave mouth and sniper......PLEASE read your character sheet for weapon and Power info on ranges, what the abilities can do, etc.
The rest of the group are in one-by-one formation behind Wade at roughly 2 yard intervals....the person in front of you would have to duck down for the person behind you to try and shoot and/or take other actions at the cave entrance...

Dutch gripped his rifle, unsure how to proceed. He was stuck at the back of the squad, and couldn't engage unless he could flap his ears and fly. He half-crouched, scanning the terrain behind the squad in case of ambush.

Gurung will look and see if there is anyway he can flank the position and get in a spot where he can lay down some cover fire without shooting past his own men. If he sees one he will rush to that spot and start laying down cover fire so the column can continue to safely advance.

Re: WW2 Supers d6: MISSION ZERO; FALL OF THE PHILIPPINES
MacGyver shocked at the sudden appearance of a shield after wishing to do this earlier on in a different fight is suddenly amazed at his own capabilities "Shoot around it I don't think you can shoot through it unless you are capable of a lot of damage. It will only shield myself and one other. So be careful." surveying his surroundings he looks for something heavy to hurl at the enemy and concentrates his mind on it and the shield. keeping the shield in front of myself and the point man in front of me.Hadarai wrote:Teddy

When he shifts to the side, allowing Marvin a shot, the Sarge does just that. He lines up the offending cave dweller and fires a shot. "Don't move Mac. That disk thing kinda shimmers oddly, don't want to distract myself."

Re: WW2 Supers d6: MISSION ZERO; FALL OF THE PHILIPPINES
Mid morning of 8 February, 1942; Agloloma Bay, near 'Point Quinuan', one of 'The Points', South West Coast of the Bataan Peninsula on the island of Luzon, Philippines
Wade crouches down, utilizing his newly manifested 'Shield' Power to attempt to keep himself and his squad mates safe while behind him most of his companions crouch down or otherwise attempt to get into position to be able to be able to fire on the Japanese Rifleman, but with SGT Acme remaining standing to get a good shot, none of the others really were in position to do much to help out.
The Japanese soldier fired first, his Arisaka rifle letting out its distinctive 'crack' and then it hit MacGyver's 'shield' and slowed down and seemed to take a slight twist to the side that made it JUST miss Acme's shoulder. The veteran Marine NCO took careful aim and put a round from his Springfield straight into the Japanese's soldier's chest, causing him to stiffen up and then fall un-moving on his face. Marvin instinctively crouched down as he worked the bolt to put a fresh round in his rifle and as he did so, Teddy Gomez saw that the entrance to the cave was currently unoccupied and was about 30 yards away.....maybe close enough to teleport too....
At the point position, Wade was finding it suddenly difficult to concentrate on keeping the shield in place (*It's been 3 rounds, so now you can either willingly let it go or you have to make rolls and possibility spend Willpower points each round to maintain it)....and he saw that the entrance to the cave was maybe 30 yards away and nobody was currently there....
Towards the end of the line, Gurung, Roker and Van Horn were all a bit frustrated that they didn't have a good view of what was going on, but from Acme's easy reaction to crouch and reload, they guessed he had hit his target....
