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.

Selected Faction
*Free Kivasu State Army (FKSA)

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).
Turn Action rolls done on averages
Current/Combat Action rolls take best of 3 (crits auto accepted 1-10, 90-100 etc)

Free Kivasu State Army (FKSA)
You are now officially captain of a company from the 3rd Battalion of the FKSA located in Bankatu, population 379. Understrength, the company numbers 60(1) men [CASUALTIES IMPENDING].

Picture depicts the mini-nation of the Free Kivasu State. Beyond the southern river lies the True Republic of Congo, and to the far South East lies Mbete King Country, where the FLDK originally fled from.

Red = Kisavu Towns
Yellow Dot = FKSA Control
Green Streak = FDLK Control
Light Green = Plains, Grass/Farmland
Dark Green = Jungle
Light Brown = Hills/scrublands
Dark Brown = Rocky/Mountainous
Light Blue = River/Lakes
Orange = Savannah

A single tile is equal to roughly half a day’s travel. This is in part due to distance but mostly due to the horrid conditions of the roads and the fact that travel at night is seen as an open invitation to FDLK, militia or bandit attack.

You are Captain Hannibal Bonaparte, your promotion now official approved by Central Command.

Over the past few weeks you have taken steps to transform the men of 2nd Company, 3rd Battalion from a disorderly gang into something approaching a military force to be reckoned with. Although at first it was slow going the men now snap to attention when they see you, your biggest problem now is dealing with soldiers who are clearly exhibit more enthusiasm in their work than skill. You are happy to admit that is an issue that is far easier and less risky to tackle than the disreputable situation you were initially faced with.

You are happy at least to see marked improvement, and now dereliction of duty such as instances of men being absent from their posts are irregular and swiftly cracked down on. Keeping public order and accepting bribes and charging tariffs on incomers, be they official or unofficial, are done with more than a greedy urge to make a profit. The few recalcitrant layabouts who are sluggish in coming around have since convinced of the error of their ways, or at least that their laziness is not worth the harassment from their squad-mates.

>>22105606
The extortion of the Hunde minority is still in place, but the new duties of the men keep them from pressing too hard for now. Though the Hunde are still wary of you, your actions in keeping your men in check and paying some form of compensation when your interference in their lives results in damage has earnt the grudging approval of the community at large. They won’t stick their neck out for you, but most are willing to admit that you’re probably the best warlord, government-approved or no, to take their place here in recent years. Some of the more opportunistic traders have started to view you as a viable trading option as opposed to a necessary evil.

You have put together a group of the 12 most competent soldiers into a patrol group, named the ‘New African Surveillance Agents’ . Despite nearly totalling the Jeep and getting someone killed their training continues, albeit at a snail’s pace. The rest of your troops have managed to sustain the company’s first casualty under your command (though certainly not the last) through firing practice.

You’ve recently undertaken your first steps in contacting the most powerful armed force in the region, after you and the FDLK. The results of your efforts have already resulted in disaster with the death of an unknown number of your men and the loss of your Machine Gun Jeep.

You are not certain on whether the Jeep, white-flag mounted, was initially mistaken for an FDLK band or whether the militia who attacked you knew exactly who your men were. Nor are you certain whether you were attacked out of reactionary panic or a targeted malice.

In fact you, Captain Hannibal Bonaparte, know nothing of this situation as it unfolds. The two survivors of the initial attack and crash are Pvt Mesik and the convicted rapist Dede, (would-be atoner), reffered to as ‘Meat’. Surrounded by the corpses of their less fortunate comrades, they are currently crouching behind the MG Jeep that has veered off-road after the driver was prescribed an unhealthy dose of shrapnel to the face. You thought it wise that the men on this envoy were not heavily armed and hence refrained from wielding anything heavier than a pistol.

>>22105655
You are Dede Hobaruk. They call you Meat, for that is what you are. You do not truly regret your actions as you did them, more as a result of alcohol and frustration, but you know you brought shame to the Captain, your Kalahiweyh, and his Company by doing so. Lower than a soldier, lower than scum, unworthy of being issued a weapon beyond the machete you wield or even shoes, you are not fit to be called a member of 2nd Company. You are a pariah, destined to the status of outcast until you prove your mettle in the fires of battle. A moment such as this.

You hear laughter and the sound of footsteps running in your direction. Pvt Mesik looks at you and indicates that there are about three of them, but you are sure that the outpost you were approaching would house at least 8.

>Action?

Shameless self-bump.

I'm here all day today, so I'm hoping to have a lot of headway in this Part 5.

>>22105684
So the militia compound have an unknown number of people in it. Is there any way to look to see if the eight at the compound are watching the three coming out?

>>22105684

Hide behind jeep, get Mesik to come with you, ask him for a spare mag. Stay behind jeep until 3 soldiers come close. Open up on them at last possible second. Should be able to take two by surprise if they are dumb about it.

And hey MM, missed last thread but read it.

>>22106036

Oh, actually, see if the MG looks undamaged / properly mounted. If so, have one man crawl away from jeep (if terrain allows) and then fire a few distraction shots. The man who stayed at the jeep then takes the brief distraction as the opportunity to light up the soldiers with the MG. If the mg is still mounted this will be easy.

>>22106036
Or we could have a little bit of a surprise attack with Meat's machete. Have a machete in his off hand and a pistol in his dominant, stab the one that actually comes close, then shoot the other, Mesik could easily just shoot the other guy.

>>22106087
>>22106090
Or a mix of the two.

>>22105961

You have no idea exactly how many militia were involved on the attack that saw your other 3 comrades killed, you were too busy trying to not get hit by the sweeping AK fire and RPG that seemed to come out of nowhere. You do know that kind of concentrated small arms would have to come from more than 3 people, you guess that they have left the safety of it to check out the wreckage. You are almost entirely certain the remaining militia are still watching them because they were shooting at you moments before.
------------------------------------------------------------

Pvt Mesik looks like he's getting ready to do something.
>Stop him and formulate something approaching a plan
>Plans are for when dying in the next 10 seconds doesn't have such a high likelihood. Just go with it.

>>22106090

If you want to have them do that, our guys need to play dead. However, I doubt the other guys are completely retarded and won't double tap to confirm kill.

I.e. I am against your plan, because the only circumstance where I would have someone using a machete would be in a building or at night, not in an open field. We have jeep for cover. Enemy has nothing for cover.

If they get within 50 m, this fight is ours. So I am sticking with either: >>22106036 or >>22106087. The latter only if there is good grass / other cover that can allow a man to crawl undetected and not get shot up while prone. Oh, and if the mg looks usable.

>>22106126

Range to other guys?

AK and RPG effective fire is up to 500m, however, the way we got cut down, the range must have been under 300m. Pistol range is under 50m. How close are these guys?

>>22106036
Hey VDV, good to see ya. Sure as hell could have used your rolling in the last thread.

>>22106036
>>22106087
>>22106090

Just to let you know that the guys approaching know that at least one of you is still alive, they narrowly missed you as you and Pvt Mesik leapt off of the back.

The front of the Jeep seems to be a wreck, but it is upright and the MG appears undamaged, if coated in the blood of the previous gunner. The jeep veered off away from the fire into a ditch so while the MG gunner would be in clear view of the 3 approaching enemies, the compound would have its shot slightly obscured.

Still wait for them to approach?

>>22106203

Stop Messik, tell him you will distract, and have him mount MG and smoke them. He will go with this because you are Meat being a meatshield. Crawl away from jeep a bit if there is a way to do it without being seen. When you open fire, they will target you and Mesik might have a chance.

Alternatively, same as above, but simply roll away from jeep to draw fire and then lie down and hope Mesik gets them before they get you.

That's my .05.

>>22106265
Agreed.

>>22106162
You were approaching Pierche with a white-flag mounted on your Jeep. The attack took you completely by surprise as you approached the small outpost on the road to Pierche. You'd say the outpost is now 150-200 metres away from your current position.

The 3 approaching you would be crossing the road now, their distance would be 30 metres away at this point.

>>22106265
Actually, shouldn't he waste the three and then start spraying down the outpost?

>>22106265
>>22106283

You stop Mesik from acting. Quickly, you explain to him that you reckon they think that only one of you is left alive. You present your plan and Mesik nods in affirmation, giving you an extra ammo clip.

You reckon you have all of 10-15 seconds to crawl away from the Jeep before they are right on top of you, you spot a patch of vegetation that looks like it will offer some decent cover.

>Roll to creep away from the jeep to cover without being spotted
(Single roll, will take best out of three)

>>22106332

Sure, or at least covering it and spraying if he sees anyone.

Basically, since they are so close, Meat rolls away from the jeep and hits the dirt. The people approaching hose him, because sudden movement, etc. They also might not hit him, because who the fuck does that.

Mesik, then gets behind mg and does his thing. Meat can try to help with pistol immediately after he hears the mg open up.

You stealthily make your way over to the piece of cover. Your progress goes completely unnoticed by the approaching militia, they do not spot you in the bushes. Fully-visible, they approach the jeep with caution, their attention entirely away from you.

>Sucker, good luck Mesik. Sneak away

You might be a rapist, convict and outcast. You might be Meat. the lowest ranked member in the Company and not even worthy of being issued a gun. But that doesn't mean you are not a decent shot when you have one in your hand.

The first militaman doesn't spot you edging out from behind the rocks and bushes. 4 shots ring out, 4 bullets smack straight into the mans back.
It's only when he collapses forward with a dying gargle that the other two realize that the shots didn't come from the jeep. You empty the rest of the clip in their direction, taking one full in the chest twice and the other in an arm and leg, as Mesik clambers up the side of the jeep.

You have the full and undivided attention of the 6 men still in the outpost. You duck down behind the (very relative) saftey of the rocks and bushes as a firestorm of ammunition sweeps across where you were firing from moments before. None have noticed Mesik is now manning the MG and has it pointed in their direction, and aside from numerous small cuts from flying rock shrapnel you are unharmed.

Clearly cracking under pressure, Mesik lets lets loose a short burst from the machine gun that is wildly off-target before re-aiming and opening fire and keeping his finger on the trigger until the gun jams. Two of the militiamen are caught unawares and are cut down, but the rest scamper back behind cover before returning fire, one shot taking hitting Mesik in the arm. He gives a yelp of pain as he dives back off of the vehicle.

From a distance you see one of the militia bring up another RPG. It's too far away for you to stand a real chance of hitting him with your pistol, and Mesik is currently cowering behind the Jeep that the RPG is being aimed at.

Action Result = 73.
Driven partially by adrenaline and partly by anger at the fact that your plan didn't work, you find yelling at Mesik both easy and enjoyable. He hears you through the gunfire and gets the point quickly enough.

You use up about half of your 15-bullet clip to draw some of the militia's attention, not even trying to hit anything. Thanks to the cover provided by the ditch and your help Mesik manages to make his way over to you completely unharmed. What's more, he managed to pick up 4 clips from one of your deceased comrades on the way. Dividing them equally you know have roughly 5 clips each.

Clearly unaware that Mesik has moved away from the Jeep the miltiaman fires the RPG.

>(Enemy Rolling for RPG shot)

>>22107435

Never let it be said that militiamen are known for their accuracy. You can tell that the shot was off-target even before it started to veer off. The only casualty of its attack was an unfortunate aardvark that had been resting through the afternoon underground.

>>22107435

>>22107408

I think we kind of have to, to make up for last thread!

Unfortunately, I have to get my ass over to the gym. Mesik didn't get a rifle, it's rock paper scissors time. The loser stays by the rock and provides covering fire. The other crawls away, keeping rock between himself and enemy position. After 400-500 m he starts hauling ass away to our base to report. This is the "safe evil plan.

Alternatively, somebody crawls for rifles / mg. The mg probably has a failure to eject, so the charging handle would have to bu pulled to eject the bullet and load the next one. If it has a failure to feed, they won't clear it under fire in time.

If someone does haul ass, have them stay off the road for the rest of the way home.

If we manage to win somehow, we might even get a car. If not, grab all we need and trap the building with nades / RPG rounds, if either one of the guys can do so safely.

>>22107518

lol this is ridiculous, but I say Meat gets his ass over to the mg, while Mesik covers. I know it's a huge risk, but alternatives aren't much better, unless we just straight up sacrifice a guy. If Meat gets hit non-fatally, he covers, while Mesik escapes.

Anyway, enjoy anons, I will be back in 2 / 2.5 hours, if this is still up.

I've been thinking. They're at a rock, right? How far is the rock from the base? Is there cover within sprinting difference between them and the outpost? Could they take cover near somewhere in the outpost?

File: 1355880129665.jpg-(95 KB, 640x480, Copse of trees.jpg)

Things are looking grim. You've bloodied the enemies nose, but they have the advantage in range and certainly aren't going to fall victim to overconfidence again. They also likely have the advantage in ammunition, and while you've managed to thin their numbers you don't know if they've somehow managed to contact other militias for reinforcements.

With a sinking feeling you see smoke rising up from behind your cover. They've set something in the outpost on fire, possible the pile of tires you saw immediately before the shooting started. That can only mean they're expecting reinforcements.

Behind you, across a stretch of shrubland, is a copse of trees that you could lose your pursuers in. It's the closest thing approaching safety, but once they notice that you're not sticking around you'll be exposed as fuck for a gut-wrenching 200 metres.

They say practice makes perfect, and it certainly leads to a marked improvement in the militiaman's aim. The impact destroys the Jeep, turning a damaged yet salvageable vehicle into an unrecoverable wreck.

Action:
>Stand and Fight: So what if you're outnumbered, outgunned and everything else?

Directly between you and the outpost is the road/track. Beyond that there are a couple of trees that might provide cover. But you'd have to get beyond the road first.

Alrighty then.

It's absolutely vital that you bring news to the Captain of this development. You and Mesik agree that if you both make a run for it then there's a good chance that at least one of you will make it to the trees. There's no point in have someone stay behind.

As the Jeep explodes into a fiery wreck you burst out from behind the cover and run as fast as your legs can take you. For the first 50 or so meters you're partially obscured by the cover and smoke from the wrekage, but quickly you find yourself under fire as you and Mesik race across the plains. The tree-line is 150 meters away.

Result = 72.

Your heart is pounding, you take in huge lungfuls of breath of air with each breath as you race across the plain. You're running fast. No better motivator than the fear of certain death coming up right behind you. Bullets whip around you as Mesik pulls ahead, but you can't blame him for wearing shoes and you going without.

A couple of bullets whip past your ear, the militiamen are starting to find their aim...

Result = 33.

75 meters.

You've never run so hard in your life. Semi-automatic fire load in your ears as you run. Your mouth is dry and your head is pounding with the effort you put into to keeping your legs pumping as hard as you can.

50 meters.

You're just behind Mesik, both of you panting like Hyenas as you desperately sprint for that safe haven.

40 meters

You stumble and nearly fall to the ground as a bullet ricochets of a nearby rock and skins your leg. You correct yourself and move on, . To hell with dying today.

30 meters

25 meters

20 meters

CRACK!

>>22109127

You hear Mesik's cry of pain before you see him fall in front of you, hand to his thigh. You're close! You're so, so close! You can see your chance at life just 20 meters away, but the bullets are flying around just as fiercely from the compound. And now some miltiamen are taking up new advantageous positions on your side of the road, lining you up in their sights. You're so close...

>Abandon

Rapist. Scum. Outcast.

Warrior. Savior. Soldier.

You don't have the courage to stop, but you do. You don't have the strength to lift the crawling Private up, but you do. Maybe it's the adrenaline that gives you that strength, maybe having no time to think is what gives you courage. Or maybe, some part of you is beginning to understand what the Captain meant when he passed down his sentence. Here, in the terror of combat, when those you would call comrades rely on you and you them, here is where you must find your worth.

With a roar of effort, anger and defiance you swing the wounded Mesik up and bolt the last 20 meters to the relative safety of the trees as the bullets continue to fly around you, miraculously missing the both of you. The militiamen give up when they lose you in the trees, not bothering to give chase as they turn their attention to seeing what they can loot.

>Now, roll for making your way safely back to Bunkatu.

>>22109565
Anything lower than a 40 would see you both dead. Anything lower than a 60 would have seen Mesik dead and Meat wounded and needing further rolls to escape.

You done good, fellas.

>>22109790

With him wounded and unable to walk by himself and you just having saved his life, he quickly agrees that the shoes would be put to better you helping you through the undergrowth.

Knocking him out is still an option if you wish, but that will probably take some of the glow out of your report.

>>22109863
i dont care if we knock him out or not but if we are going to be african gangstas were going to need sneakers

>>22109886

Just keep in mind that when Meat gets back to the Company he will likely have to relinquish his shoes and pistol as part of his punishment. That is of course unless the Captain (you) is feeling lenient.

>>22109940
The Captain doesn't know exactly what Meat went through unless Mesik tells everything that happened in detail, I doubt the Captain would be lenient.

>>22109975
Such is the punishment we dictated. But think about it this way, I'm pretty sure he'd be a shoe-in for NASA now.

>>22109940
i think all things considered some leniency is in order

Well sheeeit, didn't expect to see you, good ol' Meat.

What's up with Mesik, where was he hit? How far was Piesche by car again?

>>22110093

I know in the leg, I mean is his femoral going to bleed out, is his knee busted, or what's up?

How is Meat on fitness? How heavy is Mesik? If Mesik is like 140 lb and Meat is 220 of muscle, this is doable. Otherwise it's probably not.

You know the roads are the least safest place to be right now, but you'll get hopelessly lost and likely run into a roving band of FDLK troops if you stray too far. You decide to stay off the road, but stick close enough to the path that you can steadily make your way back by the route away from Pierche.

It's nightfall, and few places are save in Kivasu during nightfall. On top of that, Mesik has bled a lot, despite using his shirt as a makeshift tourniquet. As you pass the Chapel, Mesik mentions that Mama Riziki would probably help you out. She's the Matron of the place, and runs the school with Father Rwan.

She's not a charity case, at least not to armed men, but Mesik says she'll remember him from when he came here to learn his words and will probably help if you promise assistance from the Captain.

>Get aid from Mama Riziki (you'll won't get back to Bunkatu till late the next day depending on your roll)
>Push on (arrive in Bunkatu next morning depending on your roll)

>>22109975
You must participate in combat, and put yourself at risk, 4 times for you to be considered a full-member of 2nd Company again. You sincerely hope this encounter isn't going to be foreshadowing your future missions.

Chapel and roll for it. The relations will probably be useful to the captain anyway.
And i DONT want him dying, cuz i dont like being meat. and if i save Pierche despite everything itll surely make me look better in the captains eyes....I hope.
(All from Meat's PoV of course.)

>>22110175
Hm... two good choices.

What do you guys think? I'm thinking...

... hm. There's a chance that the FDLK will stop by the Chapel, but if we push on he may die... but we always got that 99 to fall back on.

>>22110093
Mesik was hit in the calf.

On a good day, despite the poor conditions of the road, your Jeep would make it to Pierche from Bunkatu in under a day. I've treated >>22110175 as if you've spent the evening holed up in the copse of trees (after moving away of course) and then spent the rest of the whole next day travelling.

>>22110220
if he has not been hit in an artery chances hes going to bleed out are small and even then we can just find a source of fire and cauterize it whereas if we stop by the chapel we put the lives of civilians at risk besides we have the 99 to fall back on if it all goes ploin shaped

>>22110293
Mesik has been a brave, little soldier and done his best not to lean on you as much as he can despite the pain. But you ARE both very tired by this point.

>>22110119
Well, I don't know which picture represents Meat better... >>22109127 >>22105684

>>22110346
Personally, I like the first one... probably cause I posted it last thread.

>>22110332

It's not a matter of the wound - it's just that if you have ever marched 12 hours with a 40 rucksack, you know that you aren't going any further, even after SoF training. Meat just marched over 12 hours dragging (presumably) Mesik.

It's a good chance to scout the Chapel too. You have a VERY good point, because all would be for nothing if they die. They need to be very careful on approach and Meat can sleep outside, just to be safe, in case anyone else shows up at the Chapel.

>>22110368

Furthermore, Meat can just sleep outside period - Mesik can go in alone, and then come out in the morning to a pre-designated spot, assuming he doesnt get gutted in his sleep. Can say he is alone.

>>22110368
even if meat does sleep outside mesik will presumably sleep inside and if an enemy patrol or the like goes through the area and decides to searh the chapel/pray then i doubt they will take it kindly if they find a soldier from another faction being tended too

>>22110403

True, then Mesik would die. They can't make it home tonight, as far as I am concerned. There are NO MEDICS at home. This is Mesik's best bet.

>>22110368
also you dont need SoF training to march that long with a 40 (pound/kilo?) backpack the germans marched for days during ww2 hopped up on speed and adrenaline

>>22110428
look if mesik needs something more than basic medical attention (sanitizing the wound and cauterizing it) hes going to need more than a church can offer unless they have a chirurgeon in the back

>>22110435

At what pace. With how much gear.

>>22110461

How are you going to make something hot enough to cauterize without firing off your gun (won't even work with a semi-auto pistol) or starting a fire? While I can tell you ways to start a fire with the gear you have, I don't know if others would be able to. Also, starting a fire here is probably not the best idea.

Anyway, the nurse can do a better job. We should probably just take a vote.

File: 1355890892993.jpg-(26 KB, 400x262, Mama Riziki & Benjamin.jpg)

Chapel seems to take have the majority.

>>22110301
>>22110316
>>22110331

Mama Riziki is usually a happy woman. The number of teachers in the Bunkatu region can be counted one hand, and Mama Riziki is incredibly proud to be counted amongst them, for everyone knows that the children are the future!

But even with a woman as happy as Mama Riziki, there are limits. And seeing a boy you have known since he first started coming to learn here at 7, armed and be half-carried in bleeding by another armed stranger is stretching those limits very sorely.

But Mama Riziki could not bear to turn away one of her old-students, and if she is honest with herself she probably could not bear to turn away anyone at all. Father Rwan sometimes chastises her for her charity, saying that it will put her at risk, but he knows that she is only doing Gods work. And in these dark times someone has to.

Mesik's wound is cleaned, treated and properly badaged up. Some of the wealtheir families pay the Chapel for extra lessons for their children, so at least Mama Riziki is able to afford a medical kit. You promise compensation from the Captain, and at this Mama Riziki looks worried. She says that she will treat your wounds and even give you a small meal, but she absolutely refuses to allow you to sleep in the chapel where some of the children have stayed over. Father Rwan is away in Viola for a week so she is in charge and she will not have the children put at risk by having armed soldiers stay there and affiliate the Chapel with you. The shed out the back is fine though. You thank her profusely anyway, and her frown softens a fair bit.

Though not the most comfortable bed you've had, you and Mesik both fall into a deep sleep and rest away your troubles for the night. You bid Mama Riziki good fortune, Mesik tells her he will pray over her every day, and you continue your journey onto Bunkatu.

>>22110647

I am not debating that it's possible. It's just a question of whether it's worth it. You could argue that the first marathon runner who made it to Sparta covered a great distance, but he died when he got to Sparta, according to legend.

Likewise, the Germans were in no fighting condition, they all had frostbite, dropped most of their kit, and generally dragged along. When forced-marching, you lose situational awareness over time and are easily ambushed - not even ambushed, just miss basic things. Couple that with a serious injury and no medical treatment at the end destination, and the scenario isn't so appealing. Anyway, that's just my opinion, take it or leave it.

His truck seems to have run out of fuel and Mesik convinces you to help him push it to the chapel only half-a-mile away. Father is very happy with your assistance, blessing you. After refueling, he tells you that he had to deliver some pamphlets from the chapel in Bunkatu and would be happy to drive you there.

You are Captain Hannibal Bonaparte and you have just received news that your men have been attacked en-route to Pierche on what was supposed to be a diplomatic envoy.

NEWS: Your wages have arrived this week. You have a chance to buy (legally and illegally) items from the Lieutenant and his men that brought the wages here but they will be more expensive than usual.

Location: Bunkatu
Population: 379 Civilians, 57(1) Military
Wealth: 198

Income
+30W Wages p/wk (paid monthly)
+10W Bribes/Tariffs (your cut from the soldiers earnings)
+5W Bonus from Ikozi Traders
Note: This is considered normal in your country.

Expenditure
-15W p/w Food Ration Supplement (paid monthly)
-6W Extra pay to Patrol Squad (NASA)
-10W Compensation for Hunde Manor

Vehicles:
-1 Truck
-Fuel for 2 weeks

Arms:
-2 Machine Gun
-4 RPGs (each w/ 3 shots)
-Adequate Ammunition
-15 Flashlights
-3 Rifle scopes

Fortifications
-3 Guard Posts at each road entrance, can block vehicles and provide adequate cover for 10
-Villa, looks like it was built to resemble a castle. Will withstand RPGs but you wouldn’t bet on it holding up under sustained artillery.
-Hunde Manor: More of a glorified shed, it commands an advantageous position but would stand up to sod-all incoming fire. Buk recommends tearing it down and starting anew.

Actions available: 3

>>22110720
We will avenge the jeep. Guerilla warfare style.

We target all of their vehicles. Every single one. The medical-supply trucks, the patrol jeeps, the one dude down the road's bicycle, the captain's daughter's tricycle. Everything.

Such is war.

>>22110849
if we have some old bolt action rifles i say we buy the scopes same if we dont have any rpg's the first one could be useful for our recon/patrol unit and the second incase there are any old soviet btr's or south african equivalents rolling around anywhere

>>22110849
I suggest we have a recon unit sent to investige the out post that we were attacked at see if they have reinforced the area since they sent up a signal.

If not then we burn it down as a msg to not shoot on white flagged vehicles. If atk is successful leave a msg to this effect.

>>22110849

1. Listen to story. Assemble soldiers, have Malik tell the story. Pardon Meat, ask the soldiers if they would be able to carry a comrade to safety for such a distance. Tell them it's about time to make sure they can. Fitness training!

>several mile marches
>push ups
>pull ups
>squats
>carry comrade!
>core exercises

2. Buy some grenades. A lot of grenades. Buy some wire and fuses, if available. Guerilla warfare training for our 12 "elite" guys. Meat can fucking join! Teach them to make basic traps. Grenade on tripe wire. Bullet on nail under pressure plate. RPG missile on side of road for IED. Have them practice. They can practice in Hunde manor for indoors training.

Note - none of this with live stuff yet.

Free action?: Ask about silencers, night vision goggles, to check for cost.

cont.

>>22110949
Pardoning Meat completely? No. But I say he's earned the right to a pistol and a pair of boots now, haha. When I thought of the idea last thread I didn't expect Meat to actually go through something like that.

>>22110949

3. Recon training - have our "elite" unit outside of town, watching it. Change up the number of men at each guard point. Warn the men at guardpoints not to shoot suspicious men, but call out to them.

The training is this - the elite units try to sneak around the town at night / during the day, whenever, and ID the number of troops around, without being seen. They also try to get inside the town without being seen. Again, tell EVERYONE about this (all the soldiers), and agree on clear call if they see someone, so no one gets hurt.

>>22110949
silencers could be useful NVG's however it would be problematic to keep a steady flow of batteries for them unless we get rechargable ones

>>22110989
Maybe make a call that they can use to identify.

>>22110849

Private Mesik has testified in support of 'Meat' and his courage in facing the enemy, and his stubborn refusal to leave a man behind. He has 3 more 'Missions' before he is considered to have atoned for his actions in bringing shame to the company. He still gets the crap jobs, but he isn't ribbed as much.
>Allow his to keep his pistol and ammo, issue him with boots
>Strip him again and provide him with only a machete

>Pay 4W
>Don't pay, Mesik was out of line making promises on your behalf

>>22110984

True, I am being too generous, but still say he showed what it's like to be a true soldier - how to make due, not abandon comrades, etc. Say that you didn't expect him to live, but he has shown that men can redeem themselves and showed true soldier qualities.

>>22110927

I am kind of concerned about their state of readiness atm.

Also 1 scope and flashlight for us, 1 flashlight for buk, 5 flashlights for guard posts, rest with "elite" team. 2 scopes to elite team, best marksmen there.

I just want 4 NVGs tbh. This sounds ambitious, but I want to capture their leader at night. I want recon teams hitting their fortifications with NVGs and silenced rifles. Clear them out before they can give signal. Move in. Take leader, trap the place. Get out. Negotiate with him here.

if we are looking for an easy way to hide the muzzle flash we can just grab some soda cans however if we want the guns to be silent were gonna need subsonic ammunition, if we dont have it already i say we get some bolt action rifles to go with those rifle scopes mauser k98s maybe

Mesik's version of the ambush have spread like wildfire throughout the ranks. None object to you issuing Meat with boots and a pistol, and there are approving nods when you indicate that he will be made part of NASA, all the better for him to prove himself again.

Unfortunately no, if you want it to be a regular thing then it has to be split between the two weeks. And it must be two weeks in a row.

>>22111199

You are absolutely right, but I think the closest we are getting to subsonic here is a lightly-loaded .45 from a 1911. It's not like we have custom-made ammunition and specialized rifles lying around.

With that said, with a proper suppressor, the shots from our AKs (all we have right now) aren't going to wake the whole city, especially from 200-300 m outside of the city, firing at guard posts.

If we can't get proper suppressors, I say we hire some sort of mechanic / handyman to thread the rifles and then make them out of two pipes. So small diameter pipe that screws onto the barrel and has vents in it, then a pipe over it into which the gas expands.

I really want them to be able to hit without the enemy having a clue as to where they are - so very quite sound, no muzzle flash.

>>22111266
We could train them in the way of the warrior, sneak up on an enemy and stabbed them.

Or bows, those work.

But if you want to keep using the guns, we're gonna need suppressors.

>>22111266
if these guys have a stronger millitary than us i suggest either sneaking into the camp without bloodshed through disguise or through stealth rather than trying to break in there by force also even with scopes an ak 47 wont be suitable for a marksman rifle too high recoil and its notoriously innacuracy

>>22111223

Ok, got it, thanks. I am thinking.

1. Shooting comp. Except have the two NASA members practice with scope too, from same distance, just to get used to it. They still have to shoot through normal sights for comp. They just get forced into normal practice.

2. Kill-house / trap practice. Have NASA practice moving through the house we are about to destroy. Make sure they don't muzzle sweep each other, and cover each other as they move. Basically practice fighting in close quarters. Once they get good at not muzzle sweeping one another, set up some targets and have them go at it with live ammo. Absolutely, absolutely make sure that all bullets passing through target CANNOT HIT THE TOWN or anyone in it. Set up targets that way.

3. >>22110989

Advice guys?

>>22111319
Pierche is smaller than Bunkatu, so it follows that the militia that controls Pierche would be slightly smaller than you. You think.

Also, can I have something approaching a concensus? I've got a lot of great ideas here but no agreement on whether to do it now and what to do next week.

Also, forgot to add, your radio has arrived.

>>22111319

At 300 m, they will hit a point target, all the time. I plan to have commandos using them at 200m and CQB.

As far as disguises - it's a small town, so during the day might not be a good option.

However, you make a good point that if they don't have to shoot, they shouldn't. I am just bloodlusted for my mg jeep (ahem, the men on it, i totally meant that).

I think they will run into resistance eventually and suppressors WILL keep the whole town from waking up.

>>22111283

Both would work, but it's just way more risk. I do want to give them all knife training eventually.

Also, side idea, but how about taking some heavy-ass steel plates, sawing them into a vest and issuing them to the guys that will be going through the building if we have time.

I plan to insert them by truck btw (will explain how later), so it's not like they will have to walk with them. It's not modern body armor, but it will do the job, just be heavy as fuck.

>>22111344
I agree on this. Pretty much all of this.

>>22111384

lol, does anyone even know how to use it at this point? I remember the radio being ghetto as hell and us needing a special guy at the very start. Ah, fond memories.

>>22111403
we first have to decide wether we are going to go for full out assault (in which case we should do something like sabotaging a fuel dump or ammo dump beforehand to cause confusion) or try to do it stealthy seeing how it is a good idea to do that for an assault but a bad idea if we are trying to be quiet also if we are going at 200 metres then the scopes wont really help that much neither will the silencers i agree on your ideas for the training tho

>>22111419
Oh you need someone to use it alright, I was just waiting until you guys realised that before having my little laugh. Right now you still have a random LT from Doma here with your wages, so if you've got anything to say it might be a good time to let him know.

>>22111344
>>22111407
Awesome, let's see some rolls (66, 77, 37 etc).

>>22111461
BTW, all the casualties from the jeep ambush was from the NASA squad. They now number 9 (including Meat and the wounded Mesik)

Rolled 19, 85, 13 = 117

>>22111461
Roll for success!

>>22111493
God i should just go to bed I am killing us T.T

Rolled 82, 6, 40 = 128

>>22111461

>>22111515
Welp.

Rolled 36, 80, 64 = 180

>>22111461

Let's ask him about NVG, silencer, NEW JEEP, fuse (for remote / timed detonation), and grenade prices/availability.

Also, ask him if he can leave anyone to train your men on the radio.

>>22111456

I am all for silent assault to get their leader. Kill as necessary. The idea is this - get them to see we are way better, get free access to Piersce. Establish an "embassy" - house with maybe 5 men with a radio. Trade will bring us money and supplies for weavery (we will also ask for shit to release leader). Embassy can have various safeguards - can go into later. The 5 men are just there to observe. We don't have the manpower to just outright control it. If we kill everyone, another militia will just take over. Better off having them work under us, if we can.

oh god, our rolls

>>22111481

I guess we are picking 3 of our next most competent men and immediately raising their pay and having them join NASA. We are going to need to keep it at 12 men / 3 fire-teams to keep it effective.

>>22111505

lol, we are all killing us

>>22111515
>>22111522

The last time I got a six the jeep of peace got fucked. I should stop rolling.

another suitable and reasonably easy marksmans-rifle to obtain would be the FN-Fal seeing how many african states used it as their primary rifle i assume get 2-3 specialized rifles wouldnt set us back that much and it would enable us to have some marksmen/snipers in the "elite" squad

File: 1355895547862.jpg-(622 KB, 1280x960, fnfal.jpg)

>>22111573

We can ask the supply guy before he leaves, I don't know if we can get NATO ammunition though. But yea, they are good guns.

>>22111535
then i suggest we go as light as possible (machetes and pistols) and if possible get some soft soled running shoes for the team doing the job and equipping

>>22111595
seeing how it would be used primarily as a marksmans/sniper rifle we wouldnt need more than 3-5 magazines per gun for a start

>>22111603

I am just going to share the plan so you know what I mean - have NASA get in the truck. Set up an MG on the truck, bring RPGs. Driver and gunner have NVGs. The whole time, people in truck watch for threats, either through scopes or NVGs (depending on when they go). We pull off the road out of sight of outpost, sneak up on outpost, silenced smoke everyone on patrol. Clean it up before signal can be given. Check road for traps quickly and drive on.

Get off the road. One fire-team stays with truck. NVG / silencer fire team approaches town, clears patrols as necessary. Second fireteam does not interfere unless shit hits the fan. Make it to command building, sillencer (best) fireteam goes in and gets leader, gets out, traps behind them. Hopefully gets out quietly, if not, 2nd fireteam is backing them up. They all haul ass to truck and gtfo.

Oh, and they scout beforehand to get an idea on what's what, hence the scouting practice.

>>22111638

Let's see what the supply guy says on pricing. The thing is, we don't need to snipe so far (in Pierche). We also need the assault weapons to be silenced in whatever their "fort" is. And silencer won't be interchangeable without an adapter.

Good idea overall though, we can have them at guard posts to provide accurate fire, etc.

1. Shooting Comp = 45.6.
Slow but steady seems to have been a byword for the shooting competition. There wasn't much marked improvement, but at least no one died. You selected the top 3 marksmen and have them join Nasa.

2. Kill-house/Trap Practice = 6. Minor-Critical Failure!
Buk, the training instructor, was tackled in a hallway and knocked unconscious. This was done by accident, and it was arguably the most effective thing the NASA squad did during their whole training.
It looks like you've have a LONG road ahead of you, its like wielding a gun and being inside a house is a foreign idea to them. And you've decide to just forget the idea of traps for now, traps are for people that can around inside and not nearly kill each without even having loaded weapons. God forbid if this had been a live-action run.

3. Stealth/Night-ops = 39.
Getting lost, twice nearly having them fired upon and running into basic maths problems are just a few of the problems NASA had in this area. They can shoot straight, but it seems like that's the only bit about basic soldiery that these men understood, and even then that still puts them in the top 25% of the company. Still, they did better outside at night than they did during house sweeps. Not that they could have done much worse.

>>22111773

For some reason I lolled a lot while reading it. Like genuinely chuckled irl.

Well shit... we need to try again, huh?

>>22111773
i dont suppose we could apply the 99 retroactively on the kill house?

>>22111814
I was thinking keeping the 99 for the when we try to capture their leader, haha.

>>22111828
>>22111828
yeah but if we apply it to training instead any future endeavour in that field will be easier so it will make capturing their leader easier too

also its a bit operators operating operations but if we are going to have the NASA team as room clearers give them some duct tape and tell them to tape their magazines together for quicker reloads

(Remember, everything here is more expensive than you would normally find in Doma.)
>NVG
The Lieutenant laughs, NVG are prohibitively expensive and reserved for Central Commands 'Response Squads'.

>Silencer
He knows a friend of a friend who might be able to help you with that. That friend may also be heavily linked to the Kivasu Black Market. He may also want a lot of money.

>Rifle
Well, look at that. He just happens to have a couple in the back of one of his trucks. For 24W they're both yours.

>Grenades
Oh, lookie here. Command seems to have mistakenly issued his men too many grenades. For 60W you can buy 10.

>Radio Operator
Well that IS an oversight on CC's part. But he's sure if he put in a request at Doma they'd assign someone up here by next month. Of course, he'd need about 10W to grease the bureaucratic wheels.

Meh, I say we just try again. Good thing we didn't use live ammo.

Maybe save the sneaking around for now:

1. Shooting comp. (have to do this, final one to make it regular).

2. Very, very basic skills training. A/B shooting, i.e. fireteam or squad counts of A-B-A-B, when everyone takes cover A fires first, then takes cover and B fires, while B fires, A moves. This confuses the enemy. Also practice basic camouflage. Like have NASA hide in field and see if soldiers can spot them. Maybe even make it into a little game. During daylight for now.

3. With, hopefully, some teamwork and basic A/B movement in open field in place, go back to kill house. Live ammo only if all goes really well.

With the way this is going, it's going to take us a month to assault btw, but I figure better take it slow then have everyone get killed.

>>22111881
is the ammunition included with the rifles and if not how much for a mag

>>22111814
No retro-active use, I'm afraid.

>>22111881

1. Buy the rifles (if we can get ammo).
2. Pay for the Radio.

Ignore everything else imo. We are going to need to find someone to make suppressors on the cheap. Off Nathaniel goes, lol.

>>22111949

radio operator bribe thingy*

lol, can we usually ask about the response squads? I want to know more.

>>22111909
Crap, now I have to keep track of different kinds of ammo.

The initial purchase will come with 8 clips worth overall. Beyond that you'll need to find another supplier.

>>22112002
just differentiate it as 7.62mm nato and 7.62mm soviet i say buy the guns shouldnt be too hard to find ammunition

>>22112002
>>22112034

Tbh, we probably shouldn't get that technical just for simplicity's sake and assume it's available. The rifles being more expensive is realistic enough. At least I am totally cool with keeping it simple. Maybe if we get TRUE sniper rifles, we will distinguish.

Not exactly on topic, but I wanted to say:

Op, you are a gentleman.

>>22111970
You (Captain Bonaparte) know enough about the Response Squads. They're the closest thing that Kivasu has to special forces. Essentially, they are the personal army of Central Command. They are the best equipped, most well paid and most well-trained troops in Kivasu not because they are actually used on the front lines (though they are if the situation calls for it), but because they are what the country's government relies on to crack down on dissent and treason. If your previous captain had managed to get 2nd Company to rebel, the Response Squads would have been the first thing the generals would have turned to.

>>22112034
>>22112070

I'd prefer to go with VDV's suggestion. I'll just treat the rifle ammunition as general ammuntion (for the purpose of availability Scarce/Low/Adequate/More-than-Adequate/Plentiful/).
Though be warned, the more variety of weapons you get the more expensive it will be to restock the ammunition beyond the monthly resupply.

So pay for radio operator request and buy rifles seems to be the consensus. Next week incoming.

Traders from the smaller hamlets around the southern area of the Bunkatu region have brought with them news of a massacre. A passing farmer came across the village first. He saw the smoke before he heard the wailing cries of women and children. Every single male had been decapitated, some clearly shot first but others....

Aside from spent casings there was no sign of the attackers.

We could send troops to protect the two small hamlets that are about to get hit, but I feel like the only people we have to send is NASA, and they are not at a point where they can protect them without taking casualties. They can't even hide right / maneuver. Thoughts?

QUESTION: How much of our trade is coming from these Hamlets? Are the guys at Pierche known for such bullshit (decapitation)?

>>22112291
>>22111897

So agreement is

1. Shooting Comp (this roll will also marginally affect future routine shooting comps)

2. Basic Skills training (focus on NASA)

3. Kill house, no live ammo (Buk has actually asked to be replaced with another NCO s instructor if you're planning to use live ammo now)

Alright, let's see some rolls!

>>22112458
Asking around for this information won't cost an action, but I will need a roll to see how successful you are.

Rolled 49, 98, 66 = 213

>>22112462

Rolling.

Hmm maybe we should check Pierche again, but we would have to have someone walk fucking almost naked, unarmed to guard posts. Plus, I doubt our soldiers will appreciate us making friends with them.

Rolled 91, 63, 38 = 192

>>22112462

Rolled 72, 97 = 169

>>22112485

Rolling for asking questions:

1. How much trade comes from Hamlets?
2. Would the guys at Pierce decapitate, potentially?

>>22112499

awww yea

>>22112506
Actually I'd think a better question would be which one of the armies around us would be likely to decapitate.

>>22112533

Good point. I am hoping with that roll, we might just get that info though.

>98
>we be camouflage master now

>>22112506
>How much trade comes from the Hamlets?
Generally the smaller hamlets (numbering anywhere between 20-50 people) are more concerned with sustaining themselves. They trade with Bunkatu for things that they themselves can't make or create (which is a lot), which Bunkatu often gets from Doma or Viola. After the soldiers take their cut of the tariffs, you make about 5W per week on folks coming in from the hamlets throughout the Bunkatu region to trade. You realise that, if you increased the Tariff/bribe price, you could make another 5W on top of that.

>Would the guys at Pierche decapitate?
Possibly. No militia around this region has a 'thing' insofar as a preferred method of executing enemies. You quickly sniff out that this wasn't a FDLK attack, they wouldn't have left the women unmolested and would probably have kidnapped most of the children.
You discover that there had been a long-standing blood feud the hamlet and several families in Pierche. Families that may have high positions in the Pierche militia...

>>22112641

If all our training goes well, maybe we can send NASA to talk to the Hamlets, tell them that you think Pierce did it, hang around for a week (away from village), in secure positions, maybe even scout a bit, and come back with a report. What do you think anon?

QUESTION!: Get Nathaniel and the NCOs together and see what they think? (if this is a free action).
