0130 - Off We Go Again - Part III

 0600 13 AUG 2000, Dobrodzień, Poland
===================================

The team has finished packing and loaded up both the horses and mules. As there are only seven horses (yes, I miscounted last time) and nine team members, some will have to walk.

The order of march will be:

  • Advance team (on foot): Battle Buddies Griff & Macron. The advance team will lead the rest by approximately 500m, keeping in touch with the walkie-talkie Macron has
  • Marshall riding Ben (Horse)
  • Potato riding Flames (Horse)
  • Harris riding Shade (Horse) and leading Maxine (Mule)
  • Robinson riding Evan (Horse)
  • Wally riding Coal (Horse) and leading Hustle (Mule)
  • Logan riding Cheska (Horse) and leading Edgy (Mule)
  • Klasha riding Cellini

Yes, all the horses and mules were given names. The names were generated randomly by a generator I found in the internet and it makes the animals less of a cardboard prop and move of a living part of the fictional universe.

The group will travel for a shift and investigate the next hex in the shift following that before making camp. The following day they will move to make contact with the stagglers if they have not by then and then make camp. On the third day, the group will return to base and report. That is the plan anyway.

Just as a note: Horse Tack and Pack Saddles do NOT count against the animal's cargo capacity. The weight is simply given for the purposes of carrying or storage.

Off we go.

Morning Shift

Weather: Weather is fair.

Light Conditions: Light

Activities: All team members are riding (except the advance party), keeping watch as they do.

Navigation: No roll is necessary, as the team is following the road.

Hazards: No roll is necessary, as the team is not driving

Encounters:
I am rolling randomly for the territory type, from 1-7, using the rules from the v2.2. I am not rolling 1-8, as I do not want Cantonment to be a random territory type. The roll is 1 (Organized), which makes sense, as the cavalry cantonment nearby will mean regular patrols and civil affairs efforts. Still, the team may have an encounter.

The team encounter a military convoy (Soviet) that seems to have gotten lost. Something like this is probably too rich a prize to leave unmolested. The question arises, however, what the convoy would be doing here. There are Soviet Cantonments farther West, so it is likely they were on their way there. (Note: the stats of the convoy are located at the bottom of the post.)

Intersting here is that all the wagons have a reliability of F, indicating that they are no longer in working order. So the convoy is trapped here as they try to make repairs. At least the team can be sure that they won't run away.

They will have posted guards, so a Recon roll for the advance group is needed, made by Macron, who has the highest Recon. As both groups are effectively on foot, there will be no +/-2 modifier.
  • Task: Roll to detect the convoy.
  • Ability Die: Intelligence B (D10)
  • Skill Die: Recon B (D10)
  • Modifiers: +1 Binoculars = +1
  • Mod. Ability Die: Intelligence A (D12) [+1 Step]
  • Mod. Skill Die: Recon B (D10) [Unmodified]
  • Ammo Die: --
  • Roll: 6,9,--
  • Result: 2 successes

Here is where it diverges a bit from v4. In the v2.2, we rolled for both groups, which made sense, since both will have posted guards, set watches and generally been paranoid. I believe very strongly, that this should be part of next version. The convoy will also get to roll.

For the groups, we a Recon skill for the entire group (in this case B) and we assume an Intelligence of  C (which is average). Note that this is NOT an opposed roll, but simply to determine if one group sees the other.
  • Ability Die: Intelligence C (D8)
  • Skill Die: Recon B (D10)
  • Modifiers: --
  • Mod. Ability Die: Intelligence B (D10) [Unmodified]
  • Mod. Skill Die: Recon B (D10) [Unmodified]
  • Ammo Die: --
  • Roll: 4,4,--
  • Result: no successes

So, our advance team has gotten the drop on the convoy. Not a bad situation and the advance party will find a hide before radioing the group of their find.

Here are the stats for the convoy:
