Turn 5 Recon squad
Just as he was about to mouth of a warning he heard automatic fire. Just below the crest of the hill. Two short bursts followed by a longer burst. An exchange of fire continued for at least fifteen seconds, then all became still. Only the raindrops constant drumming on the steel tower and the wind ...

Turn 4 Recon squad
"Roger that Papa Bravo. Will do." James turned around to his wet, muddy, and disturbed group of men. He let out an audible sigh. "Okay men, here is the situation. We have got to get each and everyone of us into that tower." He pointed in the towers direction. "So far we know of two things. One, the...

Turn 4 Recon squad
Suddenly a distant whine could be heard over the rainfall. The whine raised in crescendo rapidly and moments later a large metal body blurred past just 50 feet over the canopy. A thunderous roar followed as the Dropship hurried out of sight towards the east. The Recon squad assumed it was the Rifle...

Turn 3 Recon squad
The gun swept towards Dar and stopped. Freezing its motion. For several painstaking seconds it did nothing. Each second felt like an hour. Then, finally, the gun swept away, continuing its 180 degree search of the terrain in front of it. Dar stayed frozen until the gun was 90 degrees away, before s...

He heard something. His senses screaming that something was wrong. He heard it again. A faint hydraulic whine to his left. Slowly, slowly he turned his head. Three meters away he saw an UA 571C remote sentry gun, craftily camouflaged by a piece of shrub. The barrel was pointing away from dar. As it...

"Roger that Alpha!!! Be advised we are revising the the mission parameters. Radio in when you have made the outside perimeter location. I repeat.

Turn 1 Recon Squad
OOC: I had assumed we would have more live ammo available, as though this is a training mission, a hostile environment field exercise would still allow live ammo. Sounds like I was mistaken. I'll adjust according to the revised loadouts. I remain a Pulse-Rifle guy. With a growing rustle a gush of wi...

"Okay men, we have approximately three hours to secure the LZ for the rest of the Squad. Dar, I want you to take point. We will run a quick patrol over the site that we have designated as the LZ. So far, we have been unable to locate any signs of resistence, but that can change at anytime. Especial...

"Here's what the swabbie told me: All these people arrived a few hours ago, before the dropcrew got back from their first trip. Since they couldn't reach us, apparently a small recon-unit was landed, to see if we where still alive. Manny- the short guy- that I talked to said he overheard a couple o...

"Jandice? shit, have fun?" exclaimed Jacob. "Let's just say that the stuff that sticks in your head isn't always the scary stuff... half the folks we faced were armed with improvised weapons and explosives... I felt like we were murderers. Some of those faces I probably won't ever forget." "This is...

"so, PFC already - what other action you seen? Enjoy your first half a mission with the eights?" Dar walked with Jacob, his head still sorting the encounter with Green as he went. "Yeah, seems a pretty tight crew... my last unit I got pretty close with before I pissed off the wrong chief. Hope Gree...
