0600 22AUG 2000, Near Lubliniec, Poland (Hex 15952)
===================================
"We drove by Zyardow really casual like. Several kilometers out, signs had been put up to warn people that armed groups were not welcome in the town. The strung-up bodies were used to emphasize the point. Each was hung with a little sign that said something along the lines of killer, marauder, tyrant and worse. They knew how to get the message across and we made sure to steer clear of the place. They left us alone and we left them alone. No hard feeling, it is just the way the world is today."
With the Germans taken care of, the team needs to move one. Krakow is waiting and daylight is burning.
Harris and Robinson are still down for the count, so we need to set up a new order of march. The BTR is christened Can-Can II.
The marching order (revised) will be:
- Can-Can II (Driver: Wally - [Driving B/C], Commander: Griffin - [Recon B/C]), Gunner (KPV): Potato - [Heavy Weapons A/B]
- Bad (Driver: Klasha - [Driving C/D, Recon B/C], Gunner (L7A2): Marshall- [Heavy Weapons C/--], Passenger: Robinson, Harris
- Jerry (Driver: Iov - [Driving B/C], Gunner (Mk-19): Macron - [Heavy Weapons C/D, Recon B/B], Commander: Logan)
Convoy spacing will be 20m.
Travel speed is dictated by the slowest vehicle, in this case Bad with 8 on-road and 1 off-road

As the team travels, I roll for the territory types
Encounters:
I randomly roll for the hex in which the encounter will take place. In this case, it is hex number 5, the outskirts of Czestochowa (Hex 16350). The territory is Devestated, giving a +2 modifier to the encounter. The group encounters an Abandoned Supply Dump.
Not ones to pass up the opportunity for free stuff, the group will stop, with Jerry and Can-Can providing cover for the dismounts. The group find a forgotten box with 10 units of Antibiotics and 10 Atropine autoinjectors. Not a bad haul.
Resolutions:

Hazards:
n/a
Encounters:
Since we are moving through hostile territory, we should roll for another encounter. The territory Type is Insular (no modifier) and the terrain type is Hills (we can assume the team did not make its camp directly on the road). The encounter roll indicates a group and it is a merchant convoy. More on that later.
