Shakey Jake is an exemplar of good health but average in every other regard. Except for teaching and ... . Time to settle in for a long, mediocre career. Please don’t use me as a human shield.

Especially in this game where, if memory serves, strength is the most important stat and determines whether you will be able to move or carry anything.

I have a confession to make about Shakey Jake. He has a phobia of getting hit by bullets. Even so, he is too weak to hope to carry an MG or much ammo so I’m signing him up for

Shakey Jake’s loadout: Rifleman. FNC + 3 reloads, 2x M67 Frag, 1x M18 Smoke EDIT: if it’s not too much bookkeeping, could you toss a Browning Hi Power and a few mags on top of this? I should be able to carry that without taking a run speed hit. Otherwise, the above load out is fine. Cathode Raymond fucked around with this message at 01:56 on Jan 29, 2018 |

After my brief hospital stay I think I want to be maxing PT. Can I have one of the Minimis or PKM’s? I think I’ve earned it as the first goon to take one for the team.

Hrm... We burn a lot of budget points if we go with the package, and it doesn’t look like the SG is enough of an upgrade to justify how much it will cost us. The Ranger body armor with an insert is great and will stop rifle rounds reliably at any range, but it’s expensive and heavy so we should only buy one or two max, and probably zero since we’ll argue over who gets it. I think the best way to max out our combat effectiveness with the purchase options is to go heavy into grenade launchers. SO: Arms Plan Cathode: Grenadier Edition 6x HK691 (66 points) 40x spare grenades (16 points) 1x P90 (6 points) TOTAL: 88 points This let’s us put grenade launchers on everything that’s not an LMG and gives us a P90 for any low strength goons

sebmojo posted:I think body armour for door openers is a good idea. Arms Plan Cathode: 2x HK691 (22 points) 20 spare grenades (8 points) 2x Ranger Body Armor with plate (42 points) 2x P90 (12 points) TOTAL: 84 points This let’s us outfit one heavy assault point man per team for breaching/grenadiering/hit tanking, or perhaps split the grenade launchers out if the weight is too much. The p90’s can either be used for weak goons or strong but overburdened goons wearing the body armor.

Helmets are going to get penned easily by incoming rifle rounds at any range, inflicting damage to the head that is not survivable. Meanwhile, ranger armor, or ranger armor with plate, covers a much larger area where hits are more survivable. It likely would have saved the unfortunate goon who took a hit in the heart, for instance. Scrub tier body armor isn’t really worth it for anyone, since, while affordable, it is heavy. I say at this point ranger armor for those who can carry it and keep up is the only worthwhile choice.

Dammit! I missed the vote, although it wouldn’t have mattered. I still maintain that the soundest strategy for keeping our troops safe is to ensure that the entire battlefield is exploding all the time

Also I don’t like how dismissive you’re being of one day becoming a Ukrainian militia. We don’t know what’s going to happen in the future, and if the time comes that it becomes clear that we should become a Ukrainian militia, I say we do it

I’m so glad that Shakey Jake took that bullet in the opening seconds of the opening mission. It saved him from taking so many bullets in this mission. There’s just brains spread everywhere at this point, huh?

Davin Valkri posted:Redshirt Lad is actually unconscious, not dead. Granted, he's out for 32 hours, so there's not much hope of him getting back in the fight, but I don't think he's at risk of bleeding out in any immediate time frame. I don’t remember the specific damage table and I don’t want to be a Negative Nancy but even if Redshirt Lad is carried off the field right this second I don’t like his chances with the medical care we can actually manage to give him  Fyksen is having some rocking luck though.

FrangibleCover posted:A consultation of Table 8D, subsection 3, clause 8 demonstrates that the best trauma centre is actually a magic space hospital from the year 3000 or something and the one we have access to makes it an approximate 50/50 live or die. We can finish this engagement in perfect safety though, it doesn't matter how soon we get to him outside of absolutely having to get to him within 3 minutes. After that he's stable enough to steal his gun and ignore him. How long after that do we have to get him to some trauma center, somewhere so that he will have a double digit percentage chance to survive?

A level 18 trauma center practices magical nanite medicine in outer space, so 2 second first aid also probably assumes a similar level of technology. Or maybe Phoenix Command is the groggiest game ever and needs a table entry for everything, even things that could never plausibly happen.

I hope some of those reserves have good stats for handling MG’s because that’s been our bread and butter but even best case scenario most of our MG goons will be out for 50-100 day’s or so.

You’re talking about an infantry combat game that has rules for dinosaurs and scissor fights. So it’s possible that they’re there just for the sake of completeness. But you’re right, her use for the rules can only be shreddin’ goons. All the goons, all at once.
