The Free Kivasu Sate is one such mini-nation. Now 25, a man not unversed in the ways of violence, you are the head of what passes for the authority in your community.

Available Faction Options
*Free Kivasu State Army (FKSA)
*Regular Militia
*Mai-Mai Militia

Picture demonstrates immediate area of community, located to the general northeast of Kivasu’s capital, the town of Doma.
For purposes of scale, it would take about a week by vehicle to travel to Doma and back and in good conditions it would take about a day to get to Pierche from Bankatu.
Each turn = 1 week, 3 actions per week.
D100 system, higher is better (unless stated otherwise).

>>21915080
Free Kivasu State Army (FKSA)
You are captain of a company from the 3rd Battalion of the FKSA located in Bankatu, population 380. Understrength, the company numbers 60 men. Starting wealth = 200.
Positive
+Well armed: All of your men are armed with various small arms, as well as 3 machine guns and 4 RPG launchers. Ammunition is in adequate supply. You also have a truck, a jeep and fuel for 4 weeks of running a single vehicle.
+Educated: You, your NCO’s and a scattering of your men can read and write. In addition you are more aware of the military situation in Kivasu than most, kept updated via two-way radio. Or you were, until your predecessor destroyed it and killed the operator in a drunken rage.
Detriments
-Major Target: Your post is between the capital of Kivasu and the Kiavu mines, stronghold of the rebel Democratic Force for the Liberation of Kivasu [FDLK (Forces démocratiques de libération du Kivasu)]. Currently they are scattered in small bands throughout the country’s wilderness, but should they ever launch any sort of cohesive campaign Bankatu will quickly be on the frontlines.
-Unpopular: Your force is viewed as little better than a gang in uniform. To supplement their pitiful and irregular wages the soldiers have, in addition to the standard fare bribery, taken to extorting members of the community, mainly the Hunde minority.
-Command: While you get the distinct impression that your superiors don’t know or particularly care what happens here, you do still have something resembling a chain of command structure. If they remember that you exist they may issue further orders in the future.

>>21915094
FKSA BONUS
In addition; choose ONE of these two bonuses.
>Fearsome Reputation: Though new to this post, it is well known by your subordinates via rumour that you had two men under your command shot at your previous posting (over what varies from telling to telling). This, in addition to perhaps-unfounded tales of your treatment of enemy prisoners, has led your men to be much more compliant with any orders you might issue.
>Natural Tactician: Merit played a large part in securing your position. +10 to all tactical and ‘preparatory’ rolls (e.g. ambush setup). More importantly, since you know how damn important it is, you’ve spent your short time here building a solid rapport with your senior NCOs. They can be trusted to support your every decision, at least in front of the men.

>>21915100
Regular Militia (Needs Name)
Leader of a local militia, almost indistinguishable from any of smaller militias in the region. Choice of starting in either Ikozi or Pierche, population 160. Militia numbers 40 men. Starting wealth = 100.
Positive
+Educated: You and a handful of your men can read and write, though your knowledge of the situation in Kivasu is basic, not to mention knowledge of the world at large.
+Crops: Yes, your people haven’t forgotten the basics of farming. This is generally enough to keep the population fed, your militia also take a cut of the profits by providing protection to farmers heading in to trade at the Bunkatu market.
Detriments
-Community Approval: While not actively disliked, your militia does not have the loyalty of the community at large, you’re supported in times of need, but generally the people mind their own business.
-Relations: Although like most militias you came about to protect your community from rouge bands of both the FKSA and FDLK, you have clashed violently with other local militias in the past. You are on friendly terms with the two villages to the north, but are distrusted by the villages to the west, and nearest one is openly hostile.

>>21915113
Regular Militia BONUS
In addition; choose ONE of the two bonuses:
>Wall: Well, ‘wall’ may be stretching it, but your community is indeed surround by a combination of picket fences, hedges, semi-collapsed stone walls and natural obstacles that creates a defensible perimeter (actions may be used to improve upon it).

>Wealthy Brother: Years ago your younger brother moved to Doma, selling everything he had to apprentice in a trade. He’s since made it big time, selling and repairing radios as well as the occasional TV set. He has his own house, chicken farm and hotass wife (with baby). The rich bugger also has a car! For some reason he feels deeply indebted to you, it helps that you were the only one to not scoff at his plan and even gave him money out of your own pocket to get him started. He provides you with a 50% cut of his profits (+1d50 to Wealth each week). In addition, you have your own working radio that the village listens to (only an hour a day, to save on batteries).

File: 1354786489786.jpg-(508 KB, 744x986, African Tribe 1.jpg)

>>21915124
Mai-Mai Militia (Needs Name)
You are the elder of an isolated tribe. Location is the Tribe community along the river. Militia numbers 23. Population 48 (the other 25 are women and children). Starting wealth = 70.
Positive
+Pathfinders: Having been raised as such, everyone in your community is literally at home in the jungle. They are somewhat familiar with general region (up to Bankatu) and know the immediate river area like the back of their hand. Naturally, you move with stealth and can set up an ambush like no other.
+Close-knit: The tribe forms a close-knit community. Women don’t really fight, but the tribe and militia are basically one and the same. Though you are the leader and hold great sway in any decisions, it should be noted they are ultimately loyal to the tribe not you personally.
+River People: Your tribe has in their possession two canoes and (gasp!) and an aluminium boat with motor (but limited fuel). In a pinch it they can transport 16 people all together. Trade with the other Mai-Mai tribes is fairly easy and you are on friendly terms with all but one (the island tribe).
Detriments
-Ignorance: Your uncle was certain that the ‘White Man’ other tribes told him about was just a very strong albino tribe that the others were afraid of. You have little knowledge of the world or even Kivasu at large, and you cannot read or write, though the youngest member of the militia has been travelling overland to the Chapel every few weeks to learn at your behest and has got the basics down.
-Poorly armed: Your tribe is only armed with small-arms and has limited ammunition.

>>21915133
Mai-Mai Militia BONUS
Choose ONE of these two bonuses:
>Warrior Culture: Your tribe has a proud warrior culture, embracing martial prowess at every opportunity. Your warriors are bloodthirsty, and will take a serious pounding before even considering retreat. Population boost of 20 (+10 to militia number), represents you absorbing a defeated tribe in previous generations. Other tribes are wary of you and only one tribe, to the north, is on friendly terms with you.

>Albino Bone Trade: It is well known fact among your people that the bone of albinos make powerful lucky charms. +10 to an action requiring a roll every three turns, and a permanent +5 to all immediate combat actions.

First three votes decides which faction. Then bonus is decided, before heading into Turn Phases.

>>21915201
Kinda need to know how hard wealth or resources are to get, or the trade-offs mean little. How easy is getting more weapons? Getting recruits?

Regular militia.

>>21915219
Since Africa is in an even worse state than usual there's no solid currency. Wealth roughly represents any valuable objects, could range from clean water to metal sheets.

I'll post the rundown of general wages and income, plus the average prices which will vary depending on demand.

If weapons are hard to get, FKSA with Natural Tactican bonus. We can win the people over and discipline our soldiers as we go along.

If weapons are readily available for purchase, regular militia with Wealthy Brother.

>>21915253
It's more rating how hard certain things are to acquire that interests me. From hardest to acquire to easiest, please sort the following:

-recruits
-military materiel (weapons)
-wealth

Aside from that I kind of need to know how fucking impossible it is to get good intel if you're not part of the army, and how hard it is to get the populace to like a military force.

>>21915253
Thanks, OP.

>>21915219
>>21915253
Note: This is just what you start with, you're free to build up your own sources of revenue.

FKSA
Weekly wage = +30 wealth
This is your personal payment from the army, your soldier will also receive their own wages. Depending on occasional rolls thee wages will be late or even go missing entirely. Such is life with a corrupt government.

Regular Militia:
Weekly Crops (Milk from goat etc) = +10
Tariff for protecting farmers to market = +20
(Also wealthy brother provides a nice bonus)

Mai-Mai Militia
Basic Hunting/Gathering = +5
Trade with other tribes = +10 (+5 if warrior culture is chosen)

FKSA with fearsome reputation. Lets stay close to the lore.

File: 1354787659351.png-(211 KB, 498x319, 1328729659463.png)

Regular militia is clearly best.

>>21915318
That's very helpful. It'd be pretty cool to get an answer to this also - >>21915299

>>21915344
yeah, we heard you the first time, don't forget to pick a bonus

>>21915333
Fearsome reputation sucks, our officer core will fuck us over if we don't work with them.

>>21915299
Getting recruits is dependent both on improving relations with your community and taking an action that turn.
I'll roll a 1d6 and add or subtract based on any relevant factors.

Average prices of weapons (Remember, none of these factions have contact with a weapons dealer. FKSA can requisition, but is much more expensive).

Weapon Prices
I'm not a /k/ fan so I'm going to be fly with this one unless you guys want to help out.
Small Arms (various AKs) = 5, dirt cheap but poor quality. Good quality are +5
RPG Launcher = 40 (Comes with 3 rounds)
Machine Gun = 60 (comes with a moderate amount of ammunition)
Truck = 80
Jeep = 90
Fuel = 20 (This is enough to keep 1 vehicle running for 4 weeks)
Food Supplement (if Regular or FKSA) = -5 for 20 people per week

File: 1354787963375.jpg-(28 KB, 577x435, RAPE.jpg)

WHat about rape?

>>21915344

Bonus: Wall.

>>21915356

I am just saying, it's pretty cool, the regular militia, I mean. You know what I am saying?

Names would be nice so I don't count votes twice.

Also, right now you guys are picking the faction. Once that's done we then go on to the faction bonus.

>>21915391
Back in your box, pleb!

>>21915402
Army, natural tactician. Best start, most people, etc. We'll fix everything else more easily using that as a base.

>>21915400
aren't you the guy that has that insipid russian invasion of afganistan quest?

my uncle was in the original invasion force under the soviets, so you won't be getting much agreement from me because BIAS

voting for tribespeople with warrior culture because cossacks, fuck yeah

>>21915391
This won't turn into Militia Quest: The Rapening, but this won't be realistic if rape doesn't exist in this setting. It's a fact of life now, and 2026 Africa is only worse.

Also, just to let you know every Militia currently restricts their recruitment to people of the age of 15. Any younger and they are generally errand runners and do other non-combat duties.

>>21915408
this

>>21915435
You are of course free to change this.

>>21915374
Its africa, not some kind of roman empire. If your soldiers arent afraid of you they wont respect you and discipline will suffer terribly.

>>21915431

I am. I hope you liked it.

>>21915388

Let me know if you have questions about anything technical. Prices look fine. Just make RPG ammo cost something like 3-5 / round. They are like $200 irl.

I don't think we have much choice. We can always make friends with people later, but without good intel and some means of knowing what our government is doing we're not going to get anywhere, and while a coalition of tribes would be doing decently a single tribe seems very precarious.

FKSA for me, I guess. I'll go with the prevailing trend toward the Natural Tactician bonus.

FKSA: 3
Regular: 2
Mai-Mai: 0 (No love for the Noble Savage?)

So it's decided to be Army then? Unless I get a heap of votes otherwise I'll ask you lot to vote for bonuses now.

>>21915465
We seem to have 1 for Fearsome Rep and 3 for Natural Tactician

>>21915472
If there are no objections, then I'll take this as the final decision?

File: 1354788529291.jpg-(57 KB, 640x410, 1328745591033.jpg)

>>21915491

Natural Tactician ftw.

>>21915491
sure, go ahead.

>>21915465
I'll vote for FKSA and Natural Tactician as I haven't voted yet just to make sure of it.

In another country maybe we wouldn't be in a shithole, we'd be getting promotions and decent resources because we're actually competent, but we're in Kisavu.

Cry more, Jamal.

>>21915508
Time to make the most of it.

Awesome, I'll leave you guys to decide on a suitable name for this Captain, plus any other minor details you think would add character. I'll write up the first action post.

(The majority of this will be turn based, action posts will only occur if specifically requested or for major events).

Our name's going to have Hannibal in it, because fuck you, we're a natural tactician. Maybe we can get some elephants while we're at it.

>>21915559

>cut down our geep
>refold metal into armor
>put it on elephant
>self-sustaining, self-repairing green vehicle

>>21915559
Well, since we seem to have two russians in the thread, why not do it as a nod to this guy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abram_Petrovich_Gannibal

And since like half of Africa speaks french we can combine it with Boneparteas a nod to Mandela because his first name is Nelson. We can kick off all the rapin' by directing the first part at history.

>>21915584

>>21915590
captain hannibal bonaparte

you, my friend, are a fucker

>>21915531
I don't really have an opinion on the name.

We should be somewhat multilingual, we speak our native language, some english, maybe some french, obviously afrikaans. Decently educated, our parents weren't bad off before the shit absolutely hit the fan.

>>21915597
Why the fuck not? Hannibal Bonaparte is probably gay enough for /tg/, unless someone has a better idea.

>>21915615
I can go for that.

>>21915645
Hannibal Bonaparte? If there are no other suggestions I'll take it.

Also, you speak your native language and before things went to hell the official language of the middle and upper classes was french.
So French, Afrikaans, Swahili make sense. Apart from a few words in English I would say you aren't that fluent, fair enough?

>>21915722
>>21915615

Also in response to this.

>>21915722
sure

>>21915722
That's fair, sounds good to me.

We might be able to muddle our way through Dutch because of having French and Afrikaans, if that ever comes up, but sounds good.

>>21915740
We could also teach ourselves, or get translators if we can find them.

Post incoming (don't sweat the rank)

>>21915755

I say we set up a language school and a daycare center. Maybe combine the two and start up an early-education daycare. We can teach languages and principles for firearm operation.

You are First Lieutenant Hannibal Bonaparte. Having held the rank for 2 years now, you were posted to the company in Bankatu following a series of misunderstandings. For example, you misunderstood that Bankatu was actually not a post for promising young officers, where your decisions would be watched closely and affect your future career path. You misunderstood that you being assigned was not a sign of favouritism, on the edge of FKSA held territory, for you here to gain experience. You misunderstood that this not in fact a nothing post to get out of the hair of richer and more connected officers hair, where a young buck couldn’t possibly upset the lucrative status quo they were in the main quite comfortable with, rampant bandits and rebels notwithstanding.

>>21915800
Pretty sure we're going to need to do things like get the natives to trust us with their children first.

However, we can deffo go and make headway there.

>>21915808
I swear to God, we're going Monash on those assholes.

What are our patrols like? What's the most pressing issue the locals have after the bribes?

Can we act like the Chinese army and run companies and shit like that as officers?

>>21915808
But most of all you misunderstood the description Captain Habiyakare as a workaholic. True, the statement would be accurate if drinking and smoking was a job. For the past two weeks you have doing his share of running the place, plus your own. This is Kivasu, so discipline is only ever below average, but the men of 2nd Company 3rd Battalion disgusted you.
It took you a good week to win over the Sergeants and Second Lieutenant Nathaniel just enough to convince them that being completely drunk on duty was not going to work in the long run. You’ve done your best to gain their respect, you know an good officer is still a useless officer unless he’s got a good NCO backing him up. They seem to have warmed up to you a fair bit, and the soldier are now more or less conscious, though slouching, when you walk past.

>>21915864
You can hear raised voices from the manor where the Captain has made his headquarters. Manor is probably too flowery for the structure, it’s a dilapidated villa of sorts that in some areas looks on the verge of collapse. Which is still a step above the other buildings here in
Outside at the entrance you see Sergeant Rukuba with another soldier chatting to some woman. You know she was the widow of the man who previously owned the villa, don’t remember her name though.

>[Check out the raised voices.] Sounds like the captain is getting irate about something. You know it’s not a lack of alcohol causing complaint, half the wine cellar is still stocked.
>[Stay with Rukuba.] He’s getting pretty liberal with his hands there, though the woman isn’t resisting. Or looking like she's enjoying it.

>>21915904
>>[Stay with Rukuba.]

I am not really for encouraging rape. Maybe we can eventually become so cool our soldiers actually get laid without rape.

>>21915925
Like that's hard. All you gotta do is not be horrible more than half the time.

Let's stay with Rukuba and see if we can send some other soldier to look in the Villa window.

>>21915827
>Patrols
Hah, patrols? Fat chance. Current opinion in the unit is that sitting on the rooftops at the edge of town smoking is sufficient. You don't even know when they last had a patrol.

>Locals
You haven't had a chance to talk to them yet, but bribes ARE standard fare here. That's not what's making you unpopular

You really need to work on these guys, but in a way that doesn't have them to desert or try to kill you.

>>21915925
Agreed. Besides, the Captain will undoubtedly bitch at us about whatever it is when we eventually head inside anyways.

>>21915904
>>[Check out the raised voices.] Sounds like the captain is getting irate about something. You know it’s not a lack of alcohol causing complaint, half the wine cellar is still stocked.

Whatever argument is going on there is going to make our life less pleasant eventually, we may as well get some forewarning.

>>21915904
We'll stay out until the Captain inevitably dies due to foul play.

Then we can run in and be like, 'COURT MARTIALS! MY GUN SAYS COURT MARTIALS FOR EVERYONE! ONE MILLION YEARS MILITARY PRISON!'

>>21915954
Also: not wanting to be present when the boss can be heard from outside the...err...domicile...is a motivation our men can respect.

>>21915950
The frisky Sergeant beams when he spots you, standing up from his plastic chair and twisting his baseball cap so that's no longer backwards. He seems to think this this is an appropriate form of salute.
"Ah, Lieutenant! So good to see you!" Turning to the private still leering at the woman he cuffs him around the head. "Ai! The Lieutenant is here, show some respect!"
To his credit the soldier actually does stand to attention, sort of.

>>21916033
How about that Chinese-style concept of military forces owning private enterprises, or operating them, or whatever?

Is it enough of a free for all that you could do something like that? Certainly some of the men would benefit from the cross-training and be able to generate an income.

>>21916055

>Is it enough of a free for all that you could do something like that

I am sure it's fine. Probably encouraged if we want to survive.

>>21916055
I'm not sure what you're getting at here. But if you wanted to take over any of the local business's its not like the heads of office in Doma will pay much attention.

>>21916038

I am cool with this. We aren't pissing anyone off, we are stopping the rape, and we are seeing what's going on.

>>21916080
More like start local businesses.

In China, the Army is free to do things like use part of its budget to found or buy businesses, and train its members in their operation. It creates jobs for veterans who are no longer soldiers, creates a profit for the army, and is a useful way of getting their peasant recruits to turn themselves into useful people.

In much of Europe, there are fewer problems with literacy and the like, but between the national healthcare systems run in order to create a useful reserve populace and the large array of shit you might find yourself doing in the military in terms of learning any number of skills and doing what amounts to civil service work, European armies tend to have a lot of people trained in doing public and private sector jobs for when they get out of the corps.

We're certainly on a smaller scale, but we could try a little of the same. Our soldiers might eventually stop taking fucking bribe money if they can generate their own economy and get something better than shitty booze, shitty drugs, and shitty worthless money they can't spend on much of fucking anything.

>>21916038
>>21916038
You're wearing a green/aqua beret, so it would be a nod
----------------

Sgt. Rukuba laughs, giving you sly. "What a gentleman our Lieutenant is! I was just telling Eve that she is much too pretty for the Captain."
He does seem to lose interest in her though, and she skirts away as quietly as she can. She doesn't make eye contact and hasn't acknowledged your presence at all as she leaves.
"In answer to your question, bass, well the shouting only just started now. I can't hear what he is saying, but... well Boy Lakio told me he received a message from Doma this morning, and he went white as a sheet. Could be bad, eh? Bad for him, maybe not bad for us."

'Boy' Lakio is the radio operator. He's 17, but his diminiture height has doomed him to carry the nickname forever. You're not sure what to think about this. Generally the only messages from Doma are to report on possible rebel FDLK movements. Not that you've ever done anything about reports near your area before. Could it be major news?

>>21916182
Rukuba doesn't seem to much else, and the voice is getting louder. But what's worrying is that you can hear Second Lieutenant Nathaniel as well now.

>>21916196
>Go upstairs?

>>21916182
You can respond again.

"Let's have us a look then, lest we find some arsehole's coming up here to bend us over and turn our health records into fuck stories. Sergeant, care to show me your recon skills? And you, fella - commendation to you if you can spread the word to the other NCOs in case the Captain comes downhill with a broken bottle in hand an an urge to give us inspections."

Then we go up the hill with Rukuba if he's willing and see what's what.

>>21916207

Get your ass up there, but do not sneak up on them. Let them know you are coming and ask if you can joint the conversation. If so, I imagine they will let you know what's up.

>>21916218
>Hill
You're standing outside the entrance of the villa with Rukuba. You can see the courtyard inside, the (now ourtight) shouting is coming from the second floor.

>>21916207
Yeah, get up there. It's going to be unpleasant but we should get the story before it passes through the rumor mill and if it's bad we'll want as much time as possible to prepare.

>>21916225
These are a drunken CO pissed about the radio and some other LT. Let's bend an ear and then we can get in there.

>>21916244
*outright

>>21916244
Then I amend it to going inside and bending an ear.

>>21916218
seconding if only for the amusing dialogue

>>21916248
>>21916245
>>21916225

Bit of confusion here.

1) Are you walking in normally or eavesdropping? This is your Bankatu HQ, you're not disallowed from being there or anything.
2) Are taking Rukuba and the private with you?

>>21916218
This. Go inside, get upstairs, hang out in front of the captain's office, and keep Rukuba around in case you need a witness.

Ten to one we're going to find the commander dead any second.

>>21916282
The private should go find the other NCOs and tell them to sort out their shit, could be trouble. That radio message meant something.

The Sgt should come along in case we get into a difficult situation.

We're going in, but not eavesdropping so much as pausing for a bit outside the commander's office.

>>21916282
Also, rolld a d100. Need to beat 60.

>>21916283

This is cool too. Hang around and eaves drop. My assumption was that this was a sort of "off limits unless invited" zone. If it's not, eavesdrop away.

We can take Rub, but let's not get carried away. Not taking the private.

Rolled 82

>>21916282
Let's head up and wait outside the room they're arguing for a bit, kinda eavesdropping, given all the yelling they won't hear us and having a bit more background before we get in the middle of the situation will help.

Bring Rukuba, have the private get people ready for the inevitable shitstorm.

>>21916298

Nice roll.

You send the private off to the barrack just a few doors away to grab the other NCO's, best be on the safe side.

>>21916324
Here you go, OP
>>21916310

>>21916310
With the private having run off you motion Rukuba to follow you upstairs. As you walk up you can now pick out the First Lieutenant's voice, he sounds incredibly panicked. The Captain sounds mad, very mad. You can make out the words clearly as you approach the door.
Captain: "Don't you make these accusations at me! I am Captain, I give the orders! I say we go, we go!"
First Lieutenant: "Okay! Okay! You're the Captain, put it down! You're the Captain!"
Oh hell no, that's not sounding good at all.

You hear another voice speak up, it's Boy Lakio. "What are you saying, Lieutenant? He's crazy! They'll come up after us too!"

The Captain roars "Shut up! Don't- "

---------------------
Decide an action, roll another 1d100

>>21916418
We walk in, hand on our sidearm. The Sargeant can hang out just behind the door and back us up. Tell him to have his gun handy but do nothing until we call him in.

We can mildly state that we're reporting for duty.

>>21916418

You're acute hearing also allows you to pinpoint the location of the speakers. The Lieutenant and 'Boy' Lakio are on the right, were the radio is, the Captain is to the far left.
You hear the click of a gun.

>>21916449
>>21916441

Nice roll. Is this action supported?

Also, what sidearm do you have? I'm just assuming some sort of 9mm for now.

Rolled 96

>>21916418

Tell Buk to chamber a round and put one in the captain's head if he starts getting uppity. Tell him you are going to find out what's going on and see what's best for the troops.

Knock on the door (off center, in case they decide to shoot first, ask questions later).

"Hai gaiz, I herd some yellin, wuts going on lol?"

>>21916418
Okay, we're on good terms with the Lieutenant, the Captain is a drunk ass. Get our gun in our hand, be prepared to shoot the Captain in the head for being a fuck, but don't point it at him when we go in, and go in and try to calm people down and get an understanding of the situation.

Pretty similar to >>21916441

>>21916461

We have a fuckhuge ex-Soviet pistol, a decent one, the kind you get when there's a big-ass shipment of guns from Mother Russia and you're clever enough to not go for the popular flashy shit because you can clean and restore an old, heavier gun.

A Makarov or something, some /k/-fag can back me up.

>>21916472

I say we let Buk cover us, the captain isn't going to shoot all 3 of us (2nd lt, who is our bitch, messenger, and us). It's not like we are coming in with a threat.

>>21916471
wai u no eloquence? we are the educated son of whatever passes for a good family, we do not tell our subordinate to shoot the ranking officer without reason

So knock on the door or walk straight in?

>>21916500

My plan calls for knocking. I don't want to get popped on approach.

If they shoot through door, we are fine.

>>21916498

We will be eloquent when need be, right now we just need to find out what's happening.

Also, I say we don't draw pistol. If we aren't killing the captain then and there, we shouldn't draw. If we kill them, then just walk in, leave door open and ask Buk to do it.

>>21916519
Unless the captain has an itchy trigger finger and an AK. But we may as well borrow this.

No action against the Captain without reason, he sounds like enough of a dickhead when we don't give him a reason to kill us.

>>21916538
he said 'hand on sidearm,' not 'unholster our gun,' so we're all mostly in agreement.

>>21916538
Telling our fellow officers to murder a ranking member of the military is crossing the Rubicon, man. We can't come back from that. If we show that it's something that's peachy before they show that they deserve it, it'll be a shitty precedent for when we're in command.

>>21916553
>Okay, knock-on door ask what's going on, if he doesn't shoot walk in hand on sidearm
That's the gist of it, right?

>>21916553

I was actually surprised how in agreement we are, since we all typed the same thing independently. But we do disagree here. Hand on pistol = lol insurrection. There is just no need. He won't shoot us, as far as I am concerned. Not in front of 2 people.

>>21916568

That's very true, and I thought about that. I guess the alternative is "hand on pistol, not tell buk anything," but the captain already has his gun out.

>>21916581
We heard a gun cock. Could be the messenger or second lieutenant are planning to mutiny here, let's not walk in blind.

Also, OP is telling us that we're replacing this fuckhead as captain. Let's help matters along to some extent here when he drops an opening right in front of us.

>>21916579

Let's roll with that. If anything happens, tell him you were afraid there was another person in the room pointing a gun at them or something. I dunno.

>>21916598
The alternative is
-those fuckers are cocking guns!
-hand on pistol
-tell Sarge here to get ready, but no orders beyond standby until you order him in

>>21916605

k, i concede

>>21916613

^I think we have a consensus here OP.

>>21916614
you're a bro for not arbitrarily fighting over dumb shit on /tg/

is the pistol you suggested modern?

File: 1354794800129.jpg-(77 KB, 450x800, makholster.jpg)

>>21916632

It's fairly modern. I believe you were thinking of the Tokarev, if you were thinking of an older pistol. The Tok penetrates up to IIA, better than most pistols, not as good as this. It also had a lower mag capacity.

The Mak, which you mentioned is a small police pistol that's extremely reliable, but uses a weak round and has a low mag capacity. Pic related.

The Gyurza is also heavy and has fairly low recoil for what it is and good sights.

>>21916650
Works for me.

Would Makarovs be advisable to hand out to a bunch of rowdy African 'soldiers' who can barely maintain their own assholes, or should we go for something heavier?

>>21916579
Alright, OP, looks like we're going to tell Sarge to stand near the door with his weapon ready, out of eyeshot, then stand on the other side, knock, announce ourselves, and see if we get shot. Afterwards, enter with hand on holster ready to draw and report for duty.

>>21916627
You give Rukuba a glance, he stares back at you eyes wide, he heard everything you did. He unslings his AK and stands back to the side a little. You're not sure whether that indicates whether he's got your back or if he's worried about himself. Bit late right now to think on that anyway. Standing to the side of the door, you give it a solid rap. The shouting ceases instantly, dead silence replaces the heated words.
"Hey Captain, everything all right in there?"

The silence draws out, though if you strain you can hear his heavy breathing.
"I am....fine, Lieutenant. I am simply settling a matter of insubordination. Please do not interfere. I shall be out and relay my orders for the company in a moment."
Wow, it's actually a coherent sentence. You can tell he's slurring his words though. He's been drinking, and moreso than usual for this time of day.
>Action?

>>21916674
Makarovs are really easy to take apart, put together, clean, maintain, and pretty damn reliable.

It's not my personal favorite pistol but it's solid.

>>21916694
I'll let you guys come to a consensus on your next step before asking for a roll (we've been wasting too many good ones so far).

>>21916674

The Mak is more of a self-defense / police pistol. It's very reliable and accurate for what it is, but it can't pierce anything other than heavy clothing. It would still be a good, cheap, virtually unbreakable back-up though. So we can definitely issue it as a last resort thing. They should be using rifles most of the time anyway.

>>21916709
Is there a window into the commander's office? An open door on the other side of the building?

Can we have a look through the fucking keyhole?

Because now since we didn't announce ourselves, walk in, and report, we're kind of in a bind and should find out what the fuck is up.

>>21916696
What would you give the troops, then?

>>21916694
Open the door, we really can't let him shoot our other lieutenant, he's actually beginning to approach competence, and if we don't interfere that's going to happen.

"Sir, would you mind briefing me on what just came in on the radio?"

>>21916725
more like a hole in the wall

>>21916726
This if there's no way for a better look.

I mean, if we're standing next to a huge fucking hole and we can see or shoot them all through it...

lol, dat dilemma. I don't even know what to do. He is about to bust a cap in the 2nd Lt's ass. If he does, we won't know what happened and he will spin the news however he wants. If there is a window, we need to watch, and shoot him if he is about to shoot 2nd lt.

>>21916752
If we can get a look inside, we will.

If we can't, if we outrank the second Lt, we ask him for his report.

Otherwise we go in there because we risk standing around doing nothing during a mutiny. The Captain could've been stalling us while someone held a gun on him, see - he could've been FORCED to tell us to stay out.

We'll say as much before we storm into the place.

>>21916736
There's a balcony and windows on the other side. But short of running downstairs and scaling up the side of the villa it's not that helpful.

The door isn't locked, it doesn't even have a lock. Either the designers were sorely unaware of basic security or this place was supposed to be patrolled by hired-security/bodyguards rather than reliance on locks.

>>21916772
Well shit. Like the others said, then, we should go inside and see what the hell's up.

>>21916772
>>21916762

Hmm.

"Sir, I can't trust that you're saying that of your own free will. I heard a gun cock, I'll have to go in and make sure you're not being coerced. Can't talk any more, got to act on your behalf."

Then we open the door while still standing to one side.

>>21916772
fuck, no way to get in soon enough

>>21916784
this, probably

>>21916784
I like that it keeps us from getting shot if he decides to take us out.

I am for shooting the captain.

I know, bad example, etc. Only the officer, sergeant, and com guy will know. Officer and com guy are about to get shot. I am for fucking up status quo.

>get in position
>have buk kick the door and draw fire (wave rifle around from cover like he is coming out)
>shoot captain

>>21916794
>>21916789

Let's just roll with this. Captain is going to hate us forever though, so we better kill him soon. If he doesn't have us shot later for clearly interfering.

>>21916795
Door doesn't need kicking in, and if anything drawing his attention to us will keep the captain from killing them.

If they do die, we're going to have damn good reason to relieve him of command with bullets.

>>21916803
Given how people are around here we'll be able to claim that he died from overdrinking to high command, toss the body somewhere, and nobody will claim otherwise, which is good.

>>21916803
oh, he's not likely to get out alive

>>21916803
This.

If a bullet flies out that door, we'll see if we can figure out which way it was heading and shoot in that direction if we need to.

We seem kiiiind of divided, just a bit. I think the general idea so far is that we open the door and confront whoever's pointing a gun.

>>21916851

I think I am causing the division again with my violence.

The consensus seems to be: >>21916784
and that's cool.

>>21916864
Agreed. Lets proceed

So.

Stand to side of door.

Say >>21916784
"Sir, I can't trust that you're saying that of your own free will. I heard a gun cock, I'll have to go in and make sure you're not being coerced. Can't talk any more, got to act on your behalf."

Open door, watch out for gunshots.

Go in and do the confrontin'

>>21916864
Violence is fine for when we're in charge.

We simply have no pretext for force until shit is actually hitting the fan.

Anyway, if we walk in there and don't kill the captain (which we won't be able to do unless he is a retard), we just pissed him off and will be following his orders. Wouldn't be surprised to get a bullet in the back of the head through his orders too.

I think if we forced, Lit, Buk, and 17 yo would understand. In the same vein, it's not like Buk doesn't know that we are forcing our way in for info now.

7 is a crit fail? Harsh.

Maybe the 98 and 7 can cancel and leave us with a nice boring 66.

>>21916963

It's a pretty bad fail. Hail Captain Buk everyone.

We say our line and walk in through the door. "Thank you for your concern Lt," the captain says. Then raises his gun and double taps the PC in the head. The 2nd lt and the radio operator dive for cover, but the Captain uses his drunken gunfu to gun them down. Buk leans out of the corner and drills the captain with a clip.

He smiles to himself "Well, I be guessin Buk be captain now, and Buk be havin him da captain's light-skinned bitch."

>>21916921

You are First Lieutenant Bonaparte, and you have the distinct feeling shit is about hit the fan hard. You close your eyes and steele yourself, you're about to directly disobey your superior (albeit drunk and unfit for duty).

"Sir, I can't trust that you're saying that of your own free will. I heard a gun cock, I'll have to go in and make sure you're not being coerced. Can't talk any more, got to act on your behalf."

You turn they handle and push the door open, hand on your sidearm. The 2nd Lieutenant is near the balcony, hands raised as is 'Boy' Lakio though he's standing by the radio. The Captain is brandishing his Desert Eagle, he loved the fancier guns with the nice names, half turning towards you.

"Sir, would you mind just briefing me on what came in on the radio?"

Wrong thing to say. The Captain's eyes go hard as flint, turning to 'Boy' Lakio he gives an indignant scream.

"Bastard traitor!"

'Boy' Lakio manages to give a shout of "No!" before the Captain fires. The first shot smashes into the radio operating system, destroying the equipment and sending sparks flying.

The second shot does the same, except it first travels through 'Boy' Lakio's left eye, 40% of his brain matter and the back of his skull. 2nd Lieutenant Nathaniel lowers his hands, vainly pleading with Captain Habiyakare as he points the gun at him, waving his hands in front of his face as if they'll somehow stop the bullets as the Captain squeeze the trigger again.

>>21917038

Yep. We are totally spinning it that way later. Buk and 2nd Lt is here to back us up, assuming they don't shoot us now.

I want Buk in front of us. Order him to get in the room and stay vary, make 2nd lt report fully. Ask pressing Qs.

>>21917100
i thought Buk was still in the hallway?

>>21917100
Man, the guy is about to kill someone else and we're shooting him in the head. When exactly are we going to have a few minutes for debriefings?

>>21917114

He is. I am saying, if we have a chance, we should call him inside. He is going to hear everything anyway, so we might as well pretend to trust him fully and not get an AK burst in the back for unexplained reasons.

>>21917118

That's all after, I am just discussing now. The plan is:

>sidestep and draw
>shoot captain in the head

That's it for now.

>>21917038
>>21917023
>>21917018
>>21917010

The Captain's shot takes 2nd Lieutenant Nathaniel in the shoulder (and rips through his right pinkie finger on the way there). You recover from your shock of seeing the 'Boy' Lokia's skull fragments decorate the right side of the room and whip out your Gyurza.

Two shots, both take him clean in the side of the head. Armour piercing rounds tend to make a mess of it and now the wounded Nathaniel is covered in the blood of three different people including his own.

You shoot the very-very-recently-deceased Habiyakare in the heart before he even falls, becuase...

We're going to holster our weapons, tell Buk to holster his, get the LT sitting the fuck down, take away his gun, and stop his bleeding now.

Then we'll tell him that we're assuming command due to the CO going fucking nuts.

Then we're going to get him out of this room.

Having successfully staved off some of the PTSD, we'll be able to ask questions and shit.

After that we can talk about responsibility and other bullshit.

Buk followed you in, AK ready, as soon as he heard the first shot, looks like he had your back after all. He saw the third shot by the ex-Captain and the expert manner in which you dropped. He wouldn't have had a chance to fire past you.

Right now he is squatting by Habiyakare's corpse, keenly admiring your precise handiwork.

>>21917165
You holster you weapon, as does Buk. The LT's pistol is still in it's holster, but you remove it anyway. You're still not sure what went down here.
Buk tears down one of the cheap-looking drapes (the expensive ones were probably looted years ago) and uses it to staunch the bleeding somewhat.
>Roll for success, best of three

Either Buk has medical training, experience or is really good on the fly. The bleeding is almost entirely halted, and though he's gasping in pain he doesn't seem to be in shock.

By now the private has returned with the other NCO's, the sound of gunshots has brought them running. Buk yells at them incoherently, it sort of sounded like he was telling to them to move it or move their sisters. You're not sure. But his sharp commanding voice, with just the right amount of manhandling, has them quickly carrying the LT down the stairs and making your way down the street to the doctor's house.

>Question on the way? If so, what?
>Wait until wound is looked at?

>>21917410

Shit has hit the fan, we need answers now. Ask what came in on the radio transmission, ask why in the fuck the Captain went batshit.

>>21917410
>>Question on the way? If so, what?

Ask him to tell you the whole transmission, word for word. After that, tell him to tell you what happened after, in detail. Keep everyone but Buk out of earshot.

Tell Buk good job on the bandage and say "Thanks for watching my back there," but if possible, do it like it was expected, but you still appreciate it.

No clue, my guess he was stealing something / disobeying orders. Now he was ordered to stop neglecting his duties, but since we are unprepared, it's near suicide, hence the "insurrection."

>>21917437
Buk shoots you a beaming smile. "Ey, guess you owe! Or maybe I owe you, our dead Captain was a madman."

>>21917420
Essentially, the LT tells you, 'Boy' Lukio received a transmission from Doma. This is was more than just the regular update on rebel movements and reports of possible activity. They specifically asked him to get the Captain. It was a contact from inside the Doma HQ, a friend of the Captain, who was warning him that there was an armed convoy coming to arrest him pending investigation of his corruption.

The Captain could operate the radio properly, so Lukio was there for the whole thing. The Captain swore him to secrecy but he came to the LT. The Captain was planning to have us march up to Kiavu mines, and throw in our lot with the rebels. He didn't know that Nathaniel knew about the transmission, or that word of it got out. That's why he blew up when he found out you knew about the transmission, must have figured Lukio ratted him out.

>>21917437
He didn't hear the transmission, that was 'Boy' Lukio. This is all second hand.

Perhaps a bit late, but French, Afrikaans and Swahili sound weird.

French is mostly spoken on the west coast on former french colonies, Swahili is mainly spoken on the east coast(Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda) while Afrikaans is pretty much only spoken in South Africa.

IMO I think English, Swahili and Afrikaans could work if we were somewhere between Tanzania and South Africa.

Not really we just wait for them to show up tell them that the captain went nuts and started to kill some of our soldiers for no good reason and that the LT was in danger of being shot unarmed. We are pretty much in the right on this one.

Not really.

'You told the madman you were off to arrest him, I have two witnesses that he took it badly in addition to myself and guess what, one of the witnesses got SHOT during. Here's a fun corpse with a desert eagle bullet-hole through it! Here's a radio with same, here's a doctor telling you he pulled a desert-eagle bullet out of a man. DON'T EVEN FUCKING TELL ME YOU'RE TAKING MY POST, FAGGOT, YOU FUCKED THIS UP PLENTY BAD."

>>21917607
I guess we suddenly become so perceptive that time stops and we have about an hour or two to walk around the area and see every single small detail and hear every sound?

>>21917631
That would be pretty kickass actually.

>>21917621
We could be just north of South Africa by a country or two and know some extra languages because we tried to stay in school and then kept our ears open when we couldn't.

>>21917631
>>21917640

I think we are just going to perceive any lies for what they are.

>>21917630
do that but with more diplomatic tones so we dont get shot for being an ass. something along the lines of "Well sir, the captain was trying to cover up the fact that he would not be a captain for long and was getting ready to move our troop to join the rebels. Insert short pause. Good thing I showed up with Buk and stopped the captain from mudering the Lt or you would be missing a troop of men."

>>21917659
Aww but I want to be able to pull a Neo when we get in trouble would be a awesome.

>>21917659
man, we're like...like gonna see the bullet inside the lt with x-ray sight and tear it out with deft hand motions is what

don't ruin it for us with this crippling realism, brah! brah, don't ruin it brah

>>21917678
PAGING MAGIC SUPER-NEGRO TO THE OPERATING THEATER

>>21917678

lol

>>21917661

We will have to think about it, but I am not atm, because I think the "facts" are going to change.

>>21917607
Well shiiiiiiit. You somehow know nearly everything about the whole situation.
--------------------------------

For a moment you're apprehensive at LT Nathaniel's story. Charges of corruption? The government of Kivasu is RIDICULOUSLY corrupt. It's practically standard fare to pay a bribe here and there, and it only gets worse the higher up things go. Applications through government channels are delayed unless a thoughtful donation greases the wheels of bureaucracy. Passes at checkpoints get 'lost' when handed in, meaning the guards let out temporary passes, at a price of course. The idea of military commanders, who you would stake your left testicle have accepted thousands of bribes both first and second-hand, charging each other for corruption is laughable.

With a start you realise it also makes total sense. Habiyakare's career was already on the decline, he must has really pissed off the wrong people to be posted here. He's been doing exactly what almost everyone senior officer does, but the ones still back in Doma must have been powerful enough and vindictive enough to use their connections to finally bring him crashing down. After all, what could he do? Accuse them of corruption in return? You don't doubt these people had some sort of evidence to get the ball rolling, and the ex-Captain would have had nothing.

He gets a warning, which is surprising that this guy could have had any friends at all, but the stubborn, drunk fool couldn't just run for it. He had to throw in his lot with the rebels, and was going to try and get the company to defect along with him.

>>21917706
We'll be able to use this as leverage to create a core of professional soldiers.

For now, let's get the Lt to the doctor and see how badly he needs more help - potentially we'll need him patched up just enough to get send to the nearest hospital.

>>21917706
You realize with a start that, as soon as the Captain succeeded in getting the company out of the town and heading towards the mines, he didn't have to convince the company. If they didn't defect, he could just hand them and this town over to the FDLK. They'd certainly reward him if he handed over the entire fucking north-west of the country to them on a silver plate.

>>21917621
Could also be Southern Congo. I think.

>>21917735
Well...looks like we need to hold that town so that the rebels gain the upper hand. Although I have to ask why exactly are the rebels fighting us to begin with?
oh and do what >>21917733
need to get the LT fixed up so he's all grateful to us and wont stab us in the back when things get rough.

>>21917766
*dont gain the upper hand* herp a derp

>>21917735
>>21917758
Awesomesauce.
Going with >>21917733

>>21917733

Let's see what the doc says, if need be, we will risk the jeep (and 4 men) to get Lt. to the hospital. We need friends. That was a good idea.

>ib4 they never come back with jeep

Also, we need to pick up some radio equipment. Always better to come forward with the "truth," however we spin it to command then have them find out.

>>21917766
It's not entirely clear. The FDLK started as a mixture of an overthrown government in exile from a neighboring state hiding out in our jungles, then started absorbing or destroying various militias and bandit factions as they expanded. It didn't help that Kivasu was at the time currently locked in a war with the state to the south of us. By the time the war ended and the FKSA could be redirected, the FDLK has become a force to be reckoned with.
The state that exiled them views them as our problem. Their territory is comprised of the majority of the East of the country and the mines in the North-East, but their warbands are everywhere. Hence the regular militias, due to the failure of the FKSA to combat them.

Before you think about sympathizing with these particular guys this is definitiely a case of "Government Bad, Rebels Worse". Child soldiers, indiscriminate attacks on civilians, torture, slave labour in the mines and the whole shebang. These are not nice guys.

>>21917844
well 'better the devil you know' and all that whats the situation on the lt and his wounds?

>>21917844
Time to be better than all of them. At everything.

A mind not addled by cocaine is a strategically effective mind.

>>21917844
I think we should contact the various tribes living in FKSA territory. It's unlikely that they are very happy with bandits and rebels operating in their land, and they would make excellent scouts due to their local knowledge.
Also they are probably not as prone to corruption as other factions.

>>21917844

How much does each soldier make monthly? We need to go secure the "stash" if we can even find it, asap. We will need to keep paying our soldiers on a regular basis to keep them happy if we are going to "discipline" them.

>>21917766
The poor man must have been terrified. He has had a mob of men nearly tear down his door bring in the LT, still covered in blood (both his and others). Buk grabs the man and starts shouting at him in broken French, pointing at LT Nathaniel.

"Doctor! You Doctor! Fix him!" Buk is shoving the reluctant(traumitised) fellow towards the LT, now placed on the table inside his home.

"I can't! I, Mother Mary, I only know First Aid!" He's desperately trying to extract himself from Buk's grip.

Buk scowls "Liar! You are doctor! Village say Pee Eh Dee!"

You enter the room just as the man has started crying "Oh God, please don't kill me! I'm only a psychologist!"

>>21917897
Oh, thank fuck.

Tell Buk to calm down now.

Tell the shrink you want him to help check over the first aid and do his best to assess the man for shock.

After that, we're going to send him to the fucking hospital with the jeep, under guard. Possibly loyal soldiers like Buk, but less fucked in the head. Possibly we'll have to go along.

>>21917897
"Whoah Buk cool your shit the doctor cant fix nobody if he is pissing himself in fear" Calm the doctor down since he was trained in first aid unlike us have him take a look at the bandage and then we can cart the Lt off to the hosipital with a few men meantime we haul ourselves back to the town and ...'HQ' to reassess the towns defences.

>>21917897
The LT's finger is still bleeding, but the shoulder wound seems to be clotting at it doesn't look like Nathaniel is in immediate danger of bleeding out.

>What now, people?

>>21917897
"Buk, calm down, yelling doesn't fix up bullet holes."

In the language that he speaks, presumably french.

"Calm down Doctor, nobody is going to hurt you. Just do what you can to fix him up, you know more than we do, so he'll last long enough to get him to somewhere better."

>>21917926
See
>>21917909
How long's the round trip to the nearest hospital again?

What vehicles do we have for that?

>>21917926
Combo of these please
>>21917909
>>21917924
But I still think we need to head back to the HQ to make sure the town is secured.

>>21917909
>Take Nathaniel
>Go yourself
>Take Buk
>Leave town alone with the rest of these guys

Oh, please do this. Oh pretty, pretty please.

>>21917926

"Sergeant Buk, go find four men you trust the most and come back here with the Jeep."

When he leaves, ask Doc to administer any aid he can before the car arrives. Ask him about anything we should know about the clinic.

If Buk already knows where DA MONIES at, ask him to take 25 MONIES out and bring them with him, to you when he comes back with the jeep. Put an MG on the jeep.

>>21917939
We can do that in a bit.

>>21917945
Hyuck. We're only going to go ourselves if it is absolutely necessary because the LT is an even bigger lynchpin than we are or some shit.

I guess you wanted rapequest after all, OP. Search your feelings.

>>21917945

>wants us to get hunted down as traitors
>hunted by militia
>soon to run out of fuel with 4 men, one injured

Thanks OP, thanks.
