Handy, Thanks for the clarification. The preference would be for a night attack if the USAF can be persuaded as this takes advantage of their training and equipment. This is up to the NPC OC, but it's really in their interest. If the helo returns, then the FLIR can be used to best effect...

Erica: At the Helicopter Watching Bob head back towards the garage she said, "just a sec." She called out to Bob, "Hey, Trooper! Get the other Staties together some place. We need to talk about stuff!" Moving a bit so they were far enough away from the helo to avoid the risk of a...

Partial repost:

Handy, Thanks for the information. For some reason I kept thinking the T-Bone was on the West side of the road and the Motel was on the East. Probably my favourite quote regarding the PMS was from (I think) McCain, who advised people to look there for shelter. Would Erica have flown...

Handy, The Racal suits are effecively one level above MOPP 4, because the MOPP suits use a gas mask and are designed mostly with chemical threats in mind, and the Racal suits have a self-contained breathing apparatus and are intended for biological threats. How many surgical masks does 1LT...

Handy, Sounds good. Do the AF personnel have MOPP gear on? What we in Canada commonly call "bunny-suits". 1LT BLanco is at Level B, with the Racal suit and air tanks. Level C is the usual military suit. "Level "C" is a full MOPP suit (Mission Oriented Protective Posture) and...

Mr. Handy, It's a toss-up as to whether dogs can grapple or not. Police dogs can, but that's with training. Really, this is essentially a Bite attack that does not do damage, but I don't think CoC allows you to "pull your punches" in this manner. Really, dogs usually don't bite...

1LT Blanco: Bunker Kitchen "Just great," she said, voice muffled by the Racal suit hood. Well, if more of those... things were around, then it was best if her patient was awake, or at least out of sight. Tearing off the sterile wrapper of a syringe, she popped off the orange plastic...

It's a nice little source of info. If this comes up, all the better. If not, then it might be something to mention in passing. I'm not sure it matters, but I don't think so. The extra round in the chamber for some weapons happens like this: you chamber a round (charge the weapon) which...

Stompie, You're very welcome. For the Keepers: what kind of shape is the interior of the diner? I know that Erica can't see in there, but for future reference if and when she gets a chance to get in there. Specifically: the kitchen, any stored food or food in the freezer/fridge, the gas...

"Lets first get that bird of yours ready to fly & then we'll see." Luke answers "Either way, I don't feel quite comfortable leaving these people. Even with the USAF here to 'protect' them." Erica: She nodded. "Okay, no worries. Let the Pogues take care of the bad guys for now. If you...

Group, The following link is to the "Seabees Handbook". While primarily aimed at Naval Construction and a little dated (the illustrations look to be circa early 60's), it's still a great primer on basic military tactics and doctrine. I've used it for RPGs before to good effect, because of...

Mr. Handy, Ah, okay. I can change the email, or just say she happened to be in a "sweet" spot before, where some trick of the layout allowed a broadcast. That should be a luck roll, if that. Normally, a walkie-talkie type radio won't be able to transmit or receive underground unless it's...

Erica: "Yes, there's room," she replied, "and no, I'm not gonna lie and say the odds are great on us both makin' it in and out alive. Come, stay, lay or pray, it's up to you. Just so you know. my folks do have a farm up North about a hundred-fifty miles, and if I make it back, and you're...

Mr. Handy, I honestly don't think that 1LT Blanco is going to receive a radio transmission if she's 2 stories underground in the Kitchen. Her personal radio certainly wouldn't be able to reply if she did. Is she wearing a Racal biohazard suit? With a built-in radio? Thanks.

Erica: Seeing Luke appear at the edge of the roof, Erica called up, "hey cowboy, wanna go for a ride to Omaha? I want someone along I know's got my Six. But I won't lie, as far as our chances are concerned, I ain't makin' any plans for the weekend, if you know what I mean. If you're not...

LT Blanco In the kitchen- "Sure thing," said Michael. "But how were you able to get through to Captain Reynolds in the first place?" Lt. Blanco finished setting Dr. Hausmann's broken arm, and she had done an excellent job. The syringe was prepared in case she needed to be awakened, but it...

This would be the case for civilian characters. Military personnel, if properly indoctrinated, might get a Know roll because it's something related to their job (under the circumstances). To my recollection, Posse Comitaus was in partial reaction to Federal troops madking sure that the...

Welsh, I'm assuming this is the case. I know from my own (near-bottom-line) Magellan unit, some functions will still work, like the stored mapping functions. The satellite-aided functions, like the part where the GPS tracks your location in real-time and back-traces your route, and can give...

Suaside, All production units are by definition "copies". Although all rip-offs are copies, not all copies are rip-offs! The current Izhmash-made Kalashnikovs have reputedly had QC problems, not helped by the stamped-steel manufacturing process adopted to make the AKM less expensive and...
