"Endgame: OOC Planning Discussion"

[Tiglath]

The poor old goons are up against a classic game mechanic - effectively they can move or shoot (badly).

You guys can do both - better!

Whether lady luck's about to withdraw her favour I know not but every time you guys got a "tariff neutral" (DS vs. Cloth) roll on the wound table you put a guy down. This was by hook or by crook too: one guy KO'd by a LW (1 in 6), I think somewhere a gauss rifle having the extra +1 to tip a LW into a SW - it was brutal. The bad guys have to be taking this personally!

The above is a fair point for consideration by the military mind. You know these guys must be somewhere near a "crisis of confidence" just about now.

We can hope.

The other thing in my consideration of whether or not to grenade is that it will focus attention of the remaining enemy all onto Prerna's team, and they've taken it worse than us to the south

Chunk it. Prerna is about to order up a LAW strike from Easy.

Also, she hasn't gotten off any shots yet, but it's coming in Round 3

[shaidar]

That is just evil

It's just how we roll...

[Tiglath]

Jumping into the "free" trench seemed such a good idea at the time!

I notice there's an upper level balcony in the northern sector. We'd put someone up there, ought to assume the opposition did.

Ayup.

I hope you don't mind me sending Jess to the guards for more medical assessments? She is injured and I thought she might want to speak to her boyfriend.

[The Bindoner]

It's fine, thought you might - that's why I transferred King and Mike to Prerna. As you say, Jess is injured and was pushing her luck by staying in action so long. Joining a sniper hunt would be foolish.

Jess is going to do the medical thing, of course, but also assess the pool of potential recruits. I think we can pick and choose who to take, now the unit's broken. Likely a good proportion of those here are worth having, certainly any who chose to be here rather than being swept up.

[shaidar]

Yeah, maybe not the deranged types, but those under Beau and Gaughan are potentials

[The Bindoner]

Gaughan's lads were the deranged ones

That's why we want them. Confronted with a ruthless enemy attacking the Medbay they reacted with furious anger while their fellows ran. Our kind of soldier.

[shaidar]

I misread that and thought Lannigan's bunch were the deranged ones.

Thinking you're aboutit, absolutely right. They'll fit right in.

I missed that last quip before.

I don’t think that the relationship involves a sufficient amount of romantic sentiment for that to be the mot juste.

[Tiglath]

Correct.

I misread that and thought Lannigan's bunch were the deranged ones.

Pte. Lannigan is Gaughan's deputy/right hand man.

[The Bindoner]

If Frank isn't using Charlie for anything he might be useful returning to "command" of King and Mike in support of Prerna.

[shaidar]

OK, so is using some smoke grenades to provide cover for an entry from the NW hatch good idea? Or just bringing attention to ourselves?

Otherwise, Frank is up for using his recon skill to sneak round to the left, there seems to be some decent cover there.

Tiglath, I'm assuming that the freshers/stairs/stand provide some cover for the NW hatch?

[BackworldTraveller]

Use of smoke grenades while in a building filled with flammable materials is a course fraught with interesting possible side-effects.

[shaidar]

Smoke grenades get hot, but are not incendiary as such. There are plenty of areas in the garden, such as the paths, where there would be no risk and I doubt the grass is that flammable.

The enemy have used lasers and grenades, we've used a PGMP and a grenade, and you're worried about smoke grenades.

Feel free to provide some alternative ideas.
