Fyksen and Carwash spot more Tangos!

T+2:36 to T+2:38


It's a very calm night, the quiet whistle of the wind only broken by the teams own footsteps and the unmistakable sound of someone racking the bolt on a machine gun:

It's fine, it's probably just a PKM. On the other hand, I don't think it's beyond the realms of possibility for a single PKM burst (A7 if I recall) to kill every single one of us. From their perspective we're all within an arc about three hexes in width, it'd have to be some exceptional luck but I think our opponents are due some by now.

At least we got the sound cue so we can begin to react slightly before the bullets start to land.

T+2:36 to T+2:38, Impulses 2-4


Reginald drops prone and crawls to the eastern corner of the building he just exited. Bac, who's a little faster on his feet, spins around and retreats back into the building. RED Team, receiving a warning over your fancy new radios, retreats to hug the wall of the building they just left. This is a very good position; it's difficult to hit from the central farm, but provides a lane of fire to the building the racking bolt was heard from. (See this. Red zones have no cover, yellow provides cover.)

WHITE prepares to engage the Tangos in the seminary, while Redshirt Lad swings the MAG around to draw a bead at the noisy building.

Still no sight of the noisemakers, though...

T+2:38 to T+2:40, Impulse 1


Reginald begins a slow crawl into cover while Bac runs for a window. Team RED assume firing positions and line up their sights at the windows of the farmhouse. (Except for Strap, who's a bit slow and only has time for the firing position.)

T+2:38 to T+2:40, Impulse 2


Reginald inches across the ground, slowly, slowly moving into cover. Bac places his bipod on the windowframe. Strap lines up on the farmhouse windows.

T+2:38 to T+2:40, Impulse 3


Reginald gets into cover as bullets slam into his last position. The roar of a machine gun at close range follows, and a window lights up with bright flashes.

T+2:38 to T+2:40, Impulse 4


Hearing gunfire, Carwash decides that it's time to drop some Tangos and peppers the seminary gate with massive bullets. Next to her, there's a sound like someone clearing their nose, and a small projectile flies lazily towards the gates. Meanwhile, the northern edge of the farmhouse is caught in a crossfire as Redshirt Lad and Bac open up.

T+2:40 to T+2:42, Impulse 1


Carwash has full control over her machine gun, and continues to fire at the DShK gunner and his spotter. Fyksen confirms a hit on the DShK gunner. Meanwhile, RED, BLUE, and BLACK all watch the farmhouse with trepidation: are there more enemies inside?

T+2:40 to T+2:42, Impulse 2


Fire from the farmhouse seems to have ceased. Then fire lances out from the centre building. Bac feels his foot collapse under him while heavy rounds slam slice his torso and tear at his arm. The sound is instantly recognizeable; bullets so fast the sonic booms blend into one another, leaving a sound like a revving chainsaw.

Redshirt Lad catches eye of a series of flashes, and a fraction of a second later splinters fly up from the windowframe with heavy thuds, before dropping slowly to the ground like snow in winter.



Carwash, meanwhile, is being Carwash:



Her sustained burst hits the DShK gunner a second time and blows most of his spotter's chest cavity all over the wall.

In response to Bac's screams, Reginald lays down immediately suppressive fire in the direction of the muzzle flashes. A tight burst removes most of the Tango's head, which can certainly be said to be one way to suppress the enemy. Bac, flat on the floor, begins the strenuous process of performing first aid on himself. It's somewhat difficult, since he only has one arm that doesn't hurt to move. Team RED adopts new firing positions that'll let them fire on the centre buildings.



On the other side of the map, Redshirt Lad acquires a sight picture on the Tango that shot at him - or his muzzle flash, at least. Carwash, Confident she's taken out the heavy machine gun team, merrily walks her burst in the direction of the last known location of a different Tango. She's confident a wall isn't going to do much against a fifty cal.

Carwash continues to pound the seminary gate while Redshirt Lad fires another burst at Tango 9. Simultaneous return fire paints Redshirt Lad's outline on an interior wall. Far better than painting his portrait in blood - perhaps he should relocate? Reginald lays another burst into Tango 6's window to make sure he's not getting up.

I think it's saying you are shooting at a hex not at a tango. Since a hex is a quite large area you get a decent boost to chance to land some bullets in the target area.

Yeah looking at that hit list, the chance of hitting the hex is 100% but the chance of hitting a tango was only 17% per a bullet and I think Redshirt got lucky with the three hits on the Tangos.
