Dirk Pitt fired his shot after aiming carefully through his scoped rifle. The round missed it's targets by a wide margin. Not deterred by this he fired another round after aiming, which where even wider from the target. The last round he fired was also well wide of target.
The two custom built dozers halted at a ridge some 500 meters away, waiting for the accompanying infantry to catch up. The machinegun that had fired at them suddenly stopped and withdrew into cover.
The upper body of a man could briefly be seen through the IR scopes pointing and giving directions. Suddenly the two dozes started again towards the base, the infantry piling in behind them in two rows using the dozers as cover.
The distance had now decreased to normal combat ranges and things started to heat up considerably as the two dozers proofed to be armed with autocannons. The muffled rythmic thumping, followed by the fiercly metallic bangs as the high explosive rounds tore the sentry guns on the perimeter into shreds send shivers of fear down the spines of the marines.
Things where getting ugly.
Fast.
Simovic and Kurosaki reached the APCs with enemy rounds whipping past their heads. Simovic heaved the heavy armored sliding door open, while rounds impacted the APCs armored hull with loud metallic clanks. The inside of the APC was murky and the only light were from the TV panels which relayed the action from the Marines shoulder cameras. As his eyes adjust Simovic found himself staring down the barrel of a VP70 pistol. It was Lt Anderson who held the weapon. She had lost her cap and her forehead had beads of sweat on it and she gave a shaken expression. Her hand trembled slightly, but she didn't lower the pistol.

OOC: I saved Pitts sniper fire to this turn. I hope it was ok. You rolled insanely bad Pitt. In the upper 80s and 90s range when all You needed where roughly one third of that. (I am a little cryptic here on purpose).
Word of advice: Use single rounds at longer ranges and say that You aim carefully - That increases You hit accuracy much. If to rely on spraying and praying, don't count on hitting anything except at very close ranges. And You need to start hitting things because the rebels have been VERY close to hit You even as You are in cover. Like said before if You get hit in Aliens Adventure Game it is pretty much over. Do not get hit.
Firing away like John Rambo You will also consume ammunitions at a prodigous rate. I will not keep track on each players number of rounds, but if someone fires profusively I might decide that he only has one clip left all the sudden and start counting.
Ok enough of the OOC parts!
Game on!
