Exfiltrating will not be easy with two wounded and the BRDM-2 fully operational even if they leave Redshirt Lad behind. (RL is probably toast but we should at least try to save him anyways.  )

I know our planning structure isn't the most reactive for issues like this, but have a little faith! I dunno if you noticed, but all our machine gunners are dead or wounded. Operation Dakka was built around their fire support. And we're still facing a squad+ and that BRDM-2 with only 6 effectives (and 2 walking wounded). Time to pop smoke and exfil.

 T+2:58 to T+3:00  Fyksen and Carwash reach the corner of the fence. Reluctantly, Carwash lets Fyksen take control of the Browning while she takes the HK69. Granatpistole. It sounds fitting for when you only have one arm.  Thick, grey smoke rushes from the grenade and lets the wind carry it. Strap picks up the Minimi and grabs Bac by the shoulders of his MOLLE. T+3:00 to T+3:02  Fyksen, ready to fire, begins scouting for the BRDM-2. It's moved since he last saw it, the blasted thing! Not far, though, and it doesn't take long to find it.  Strap continues dragging his immense load into relative safety. T+3:02 to T+3:04  Carwash sneaks towards the corner. Fyksen has the BRDM-2's turret lined up in his sights and steadies his aim.  On the other side of the map things are tense: if RED opens fire it'll be a matter of seconds before they're hit by the KPVT. It's all too obvious the mercenaries are considering their options too... T+3:04 to T+3:06  It takes effort not to whisper too quietly into the radios. Hams lays the plan; on Carwash' signal, RED will shoot all known tangos while Anderson and Hams legs it. Fyksen and Carwash will take out the car. And Frankenstein and Radec have to retreat quickly, because the second story of the building isn't going to last seconds against a KPVT...  T+3:06 to T+3:08   Carwash: "Go!" T+3:08 to T+3:10, Impulse 1   Krack!-Krack-Krack-Krack!-Krack-Krack-Krack! Frankenstein and Radec pull their triggers and fall back into cover. Frankenstein's pretty sure she got Tango 11 in the head. Hams darts across the road while Anderson suppresses Tango 12.  The Browning roads under Fyksen. Immense firepower lances out and strikes the BRDM with pinpoint accuracy. Carwash fires, then nearly bites her tongue off when the recoil slams into her shoulder. She's not sure if she's falling back into cover or simply collapsing from pain, but at least there's a bush to grab her. Her wounded arm bounces on some branches, and everything is pain. code:code:code:code:code:LatwPIAT fucked around with this message at 00:39 on Mar 21, 2018 |

 Also there is an uncanny symmetry to seeing the opposition's equivalent to Carwash (the BRDM gunner) get wounded in almost the exact same way: large-caliber bullet to the forearm. (In this case it's a lot more explicable since the bullet had to go through armor plate first.)

Looking up gunshot wounds to the intestine, a lot of "wound was verified post-mortem". I don't think that bodes well. E: I know I signed up but for specific reasons, I feel like if you want someone who can specifically be a medic I'm your man.

Yes, gut shots are nasty. Poor Redshirt.  '' The assault team is effectively reduced to three goons if we want to use both Minimis (which we do) and they haven't even searched half the map yet. This is not looking good unless they somehow manage to kill enough tangos that the survivors surrender. PenguinSalsa fucked around with this message at 17:06 on Mar 21, 2018 |

T+3:08 to T+3:10, Impulse 2  Anderson makes a dash for the other side of the road, return fire slamming into the ground around him.  Fyksen keeps his fire on the BRDM. It seems to to swallow the bullets - it'd look unaffected if Fyksen hadn't seen the turret come to a sudden halt. That should have taken care of the gunner. code:code: Fyksen disconnects the elevation lock and tilts the burst onto the hull. A hail of return fire from the seminary kicks up around him. He keeps the burst on the BRDM for a full second before falling back. Hopefully that took care of things! code:code:code:code:code:code:code:code:

I don’t remember the specific damage table and I don’t want to be a Negative Nancy but even if Redshirt Lad is carried off the field right this second I don’t like his chances with the medical care we can actually manage to give him Fyksen is having some rocking luck though.

Jesus, Fyksen, get out of there, or get behind something bulletproof. Also, notice how little damage even a .50cal is doing to the inhabitants of that BRDM! If those crew members had been in PASGT I think they'd just be angry right now. I'm more and more inclined to take our own BRDM out for a spin...

Roobanguy posted:we killed the inhabitants of our brdm with 5.56. I beg to differ. We didn't actually kill any of the Strela crews, we murdered all their escorts and mildly inconvenienced those inside. They surrendered when it was clear that nobody could effectively fight back. And by "mildly inconvenience" I mean "we did scratch damage"; the next few posts include quoteblocks of the damage our bullets did to the vehicle crew, and it's mostly pretty pathetic. If they were armored up, they probably wouldn't have taken any damage at all.

A note, damage seem to be based on lethality. It doesn't seem to reflect how debilitating an injury is which is likely determined by the nature of the injury (bone fracture, etc). Our attacks (which on hitting have been pistol level power) so far have been in non-lethal areas with the exception of the lung shot and so therefore while painfull doesn't endager the gunners life. Lungshot has a good shot of doing him in though if he does not get help. This is why hits on vulnerable areas do such insane damage while limb damage is limited.

High velocity round through the pelvis with an intestinal rupture? If there isn't a trauma center hiding in one of those farmhouses Redshirt is toast. And considering we're in hostile territory he's probably lucky if the bullet ruptured either of the iliac arteries and he'll bleed out before he wakes up.

If I'm reading the chart correctly RL has about 3 minutes before he bleeds out, if we can get someone to tape some gauze to his gut we can prolong his suffering for another fifteen hours; and a visit to an aid station would let him live long enough to say goodbye; a trauma centre is his only hope, and even with the best doctors, in the best hospital, he'd still have a 23% chance of dying at some point in the three months he will need to sit out. Either way, for you, the war is over.

On the other hand, "3 minutes" in Phoenix Command time is "60 phases", and one way or another this battle will be functionally decided by then, and we'll have time to patch him up.
