============================
From
one second to the other, everything changed. The guards drew down on
us and the we returned the favor. Some of the civvies trapped between
us hit the ground screaming, others ran away doing the same.
Klasha
and Potato started some song and dance but that did not go well,
apparently. Civvies were pushed aside as the guards moved to grab
Klasha. We figured the day had gone to hell anyway, so why stop now.
Bullets
started flying after that.
So
the team has hit a snag. One of the guards has recognized Klasha as
an intelligence agent. The question is how the team will continue.
The idea was to bluff their way through. That will not happen now.
The
first possibility would be that the team try to convince the guards
that the Klasha was somehow working with a Soviet unit.
Klasha,
with the help of Potato, tell the guards that Klasha has been with
their unit for over a year, realizing that the Soviet forces controls
all of Central Europe and is Klasha’s best chance for survival. The
guards are probably not disposed to just believe the story.
[GME:
Will
the guards buy into the story presented by Klasha and Potato?
- Chaos Rank 6
– Very
Unlikely
(45%)
- 57%
- No]
So,
that is another plan down the drain. It does not, however,
necessarily mean that they will take action.
[GME:
Will
the guards attempt to detain Klasha?
- Chaos Rank 6
– 50/50
(65%)
- 40%
- Yes]
The
guards move forward to grab Klasha and the team has a choice to make:
fight or flight. Their cover has been blown so leaving is just not an
option. Guess someone might have to die.
There
are nine civilians in the area. I will give them an equal chance of
running from the area(1-50) or remaining in place (51-100). If they
flee, they will attempt to leave the map by the closest exit. The
results are:
- Civilian 1 – remains in place
- Civilian 2 – remains in place
- Civilian 3 – flees
- Civilian 4 – flees
- Civilian 5 – flees
- Civilian 6 – remains in place
- Civilian 7 – remains in place
- Civilian 8 – flees
- Civilian 9 – flees
Civilians
caught in the crossfire maybe hit as per the rules. It is an area
with a lot of metal and concrete. A ricochet is definitely possible.
If
caught in the blast of an explosive weapon or automatic fire, they
may be hit normally. If a round is fired over them and misses, they
may be hit but the difficulty level is one level higher, as they are
not the intended target.
The
guards hiding behind the wrecks have cover from the abdomen down, as
do the characters in Can-Can, with the exception of Wally (acting as
commander) and Harris (acting as gunner), as both of them have full
cover.
No
one is surprised by the encounter. Not let the fireworks begin.

The grenade deviates.
The

Wally are protected by the vehicle and suffer no concussion.
Marshall,
Logan and Klasha are partially exposed and take half of the
concussion damage. The total damage is:
- Marshall: 21 / 2 = 10 (rounded down). She takes 1 point to damage everywhere, but the head, chest and right arm, which take 2. She is knocked down by the blast. She now has a serious head wound but she is not stunned and does not panic. Her initiative is reduced to 0, taking her out of the fight.
- Logan: 13 / 2 = 6 (rounded down). He takes 1 point to all locations except the left leg. The concussion, however, knocks him down.
- Klasha: 19 / 2 = 9 (rounded down). She takes 1 point to damage everywhere, except the head, chest and abdomen, where she takes 2. She is knocked down and stunned for two rounds but does not panic. She now has a serious wound to the head.
Potato,
Macron and Robinson are also caught in the concussion. Griffin is
protected by the bulk of the OT-64.
- Potato: takes 10 points of damage, with one point to each location except the head, left arm and right leg, which take two. Potato is knocked down but not stunned and he does not panic.

– One
possible hit.
The
round punches through the wreck, only slowing slight before impacting
on his left leg, causing 46 points of damage. The target bleeds out
soon after.
Based
on our initial rules, the one of the two remaining rounds may hit a
civilian (on being a 20, misses but does not result in a jam).
