Mission Reports

In the military, cross training is a thing of much goodness, especially in the highly focused squads of soldiers like the SEALs or Rangers. If one is injured/needs a bomb rigged up/needs to use a sniper rifle, someone can step into that role and lend a hand.
 
You said it. =) Ever read Chris Kyle's American Sniper ? Good read with good examples of cross-training, SEAL style. =)
 
I was thinking along those same lines :) , In fact Theo offers First Aid training to anyone interested. On the chance someone gets separated it's a good skill for all to have.
 
So I just want to double check; there will be Keith and Alex as the only two in the hovertanks, correct?
 
Oops. Sorry, I missed a tank. So there is still three VHTs going in. Ok, just making sure.
 
Ok, since there is talk about getting a C3 EW pod on one of the Ajax, it will provide the following bonuses:


After making a Sensory Systems roll at a -10% due to the stress of combat and trying to multi-task, as long as you are within 100 miles of the pod you get +2 to Initiative, +2 to Strike, and +2 to Dodge. The bonuses will last the entire melee round so long as whomever has the pod attached makes their skill roll. If the person using the EW pod uses their first attack to operate the EW pod and does NOT attack, you can make your skill roll without the -10% to your roll.


Also, if the person has the Electronic Countermeasures skill, if you make your roll on that the bad guys get a minus to their Strike, Dodge, and Initiative as long as they are within ONE mile. It doesn't have enough power to go farther out, but with the upcoming fight, you will be at point-blank range and that won't be a problem. It also has the same -10% to your roll for trying to multi-task UNLESS you use your first action totally dedicated to the EW functions of the pod. I will be nice and not make you use an attack for each; one will handle both functions of the pod successfully.


Just let me know which one of you (if anyone) will have a hard point taken up with the pod.
 
Also, don't forget to increase your skill percentiles for your level increases along with your combat bonuses.
 
Cody will take one. I'll post the Liberty Belle's load-out later today (Real Life permitting).
 
Anyone else notice that our wonderful Sherwood just passed his 9-year-mark on August 15th? =)


Grats, Sherwood! And thanks for showing us this special bunch of people you've long been a part of. =)
 
@hellrazoromega Cody will be taking the following payload, but Theo might want a rack of high-explosive armor-piercing (HEAP) missiles in place of the ECM pod on board the Liberty Belle.


Liberty Belle payload


Hard-point 1: 15/15 HEAP mini-missiles: 1d4x10 M.D., 1 mile, 3 foot radius, 2 M.D.C.


Hard-point 2: 6/6 smoke mini-missiles (2 red, 2 blue, 2 orange). Damage: None. Range: ½ mile, 20 foot radius, 1 M.D.C. and 9/9 Plasma/Napalm (medium) 1d6x10 M.D., 1 mile, 15 foot radius, 1 M.D.C.


Hard-point 3: C3 EW Pod (Cody's Electronic Countermeasures skill: 70% +5% = 75%)


Hard-point 4: 15/15 HEAP mini-missiles: 1d4x10 M.D., 1 mile, 3 foot radius, 2 M.D.C.


Also, is it O.K. for Cody to add a LAR-10 7.62 Laser Assault Rifle with about 6 clips to his personal inventory? It's always bugged me that some starting characters in Palladium come with one W.P. only to have a weapon of different type in starting equipment. I think it's kind of like saying, "Thanks for all of those hours on the range with that rifle. Now here's your pistol to go earn the rifle with..." Heh! =)
 
Sounds like a plan HEAP rather that ECM.


And lol about the staring equipment--just one of those silly things you find in Palladium games.
 
So long as you have the WP for it, you can go ahead and add a rifle to your inventory. The only ones that you can't just say you have all the time are the squad heavy weapons. Those are issued only on a case by case basis.
 
Completely off topic, I went to a small concert by a gamer girl band called the Doubleclicks while at GenCon. Damn funny stuff! I immediately downloaded three of their albums and ordered a t-shirt. I highly recommend them to all.

I was waiting to give everyone time to make sure your sheets were all leveled up before I moved on.


Ask for new encounters, and you shall receive!

I actually forgot I get multiple attacks, so that's going to be fun to use. :devil:
Click to expand...
If you don't have multiple attacks in a Palladium game something is very wrong.
 
I agree with Hellrazoromega about the multiple attacks per round thing. =)


Also, I think I've finally changed from writing Cody in past-tense to present.
