=============

On the other side of the building, I heard a long burst from an L7. At least I knew Harris or Potato were still in the fight and gettin' some. Somehow I had images of Hudson from Aliens in my head when I pictured Harris with his machinegun out there.

Turn 10 - Initiative Step 5

• Potato will empty his L7A2 at the stragglers firing from the West.
• Mitchell will attempt to get Bud out of the hole she drove it into.

• Mitchell (Agl 5)
• Potato (Agl 4 - Bulk 6 = -2)

Play:
Robinson fire 5 quick shots at Experienced Soviet straggler #03. The range is 60m (Medium, but just barely).

Mitchell attempts to get Bud back on the road.

Potato fires his L7A2 at Novice Soviet straggler #110. The range is 55m (Short), so no dice will be lost. There are a total of 9 rounds left in the belt.

Experienced Soviet straggler #37 is in the danger zone and may get hit by half the rounds that miss.

• [Danger zone fire at Experienced Soviet straggler #37 – Asset Level 15 – Impossible (x1/4) – Target Number 3 - Roll(s): 14,14,11,13] - All miss that the L7 goes silent as the barrel smokes.

Turn 10 - Initiative Step 4

Despite the great roll, the round impacts on the wall below the window,

Macron rounds the corner and fires through the window at the straggler that was knocked down before. The range is 5m (Short) and the NPC does not have the benefit of cover.

• [Fire two quick shots at Experienced Soviet straggler #25 – Asset Level 13 – Difficult (x1 - Quick shot at close range)  – Target Number 13 - Roll(s): 10,18] - One hit.

The round hits the NPC in the abdomen but he has a flak vest. The damage is 6 + 1 (Blunt Trauma) = 7. The NPC is now seriously wounded and his initiative is reduced to 0, taking him out of the fight.
