OscarDiggs posted:Responding to a roll of 15 His role isn't that perfect, but Rupert's natural charm brings out smiles and drinks. He learns that there are two big mercenary groups operating out of Great Lakes: the Red Devils (who mostly perform water operations like anti-piracy efforts and underwater demolitions out of Milwaukee) and Steel Talon (a mechanized force with a large number of locally produced Detroit tanks). They've both been around for a year or two and generally stick to local stuff in Great Lakes or Canada.

Kamran "Cameron" Rajavi "...well, aren't you a curious type, Rupert! Farsi's pretty different from English, but we can start with the basics. To say hello, you say 'Salam' or 'Khosh amadid if you're the host of some function..." --- Having dropped off the rest of their upstart start-up, Kamran follows Rupert to their presumed appointment. He wrinkles his nose a bit at the smell of alcohol coming from the bar, but there don't appear to be any full teahouses in Detroit. Hopefully they know how to boil water. It's only when he watches Rupert play up his unfamiliarity that he realizes what he's doing, and this probably isn't their appointment spot. Reconnaissance by feigned ignorance, is it? Well, then, this sort of thing is done with two men. One plays the bait, and one plays the watcher. So Kamran orders a sparkling drink (ignoring the bartender's obvious "cheapskate" glare), leans back in a booth, and watches the patrons talking off Rupert's ear. Red Devils and Steel Talons, eh? Let's see what else they have... I'm trying to use Observation to help our picture of these two rival groups. Any of them going through a poor phase?

By purchasing the Field Kitchen, the cost increases to $84,000 and your monthly cost increases to $112,570. This gives you a total remaining balance of $738,900 and a base size of 18/100 units.

Equipment Purchases As before, I'll present the Great Lakes first. This is a huuuuuge list so you may not even feel a need to ask about other nations, but they're always available if you do. Every item here is only going to be presented with its base cost to purchase because of how big the list is. If you want further information, you can ask about any item and I'll provide a picture, stats, and short description of what it is. In order to simplify the logistics, every item will have a deployment purchase. This represents the cost of a full load of ammo, fuel, and/or maintenance for one mission. You don't have to worry about counting exactly how many .30-06 rounds and gallons of airplane fuel you have in your stores because you simply pay the cost for sending it on the mission. Deployment cost varies, but you can expect the deployment cost of a gun to range from $50 to $200 unless it's using some rare and exotic ammo. The deployment cost of an vehicle can range from $200 for an unarmed truck to $1500 for a fighter plane to over $100,000 for a bomber. Deployment cost may also vary from time to time as fuel and ammo prices fluctuate or you make deals that give you more or less access to foreign powers.

Davin Valkri posted:Respectfully, all of these look like a bunch of semi-interchangeable .45 ACP SMGs. If I buy a Thompson M1923, for example, what, precisely, does that get me over the VEC Mk. III? I can post detailed stats if you want, but a quick overview: * All three guns above the Thompson were developed as cheaper alternatives to the Thompson, so they're all lower in price. * The Hyde M2 uses 20 or 30-round Thompson magazines, weighs less than the Thompson but has the same accuracy, and has a slow rate of fire and fixed stock. * The M3A1 Grease Gun uses proprietary 30-round magazines, has an even slower rate of fire than the Hyde, and has a telescoping stock so you can reduce its Bulk for better maneuverability. It's slightly lighter than the Thompson but has lower accuracy. They were also made in 9x19mm if you want a different damage profile and higher rate of fire. * The Volunteer Enterprises Commando is a cheap clone of the Thompson. It uses 20 or 30-round Thompson magazines, weighs slightly less than the Thompson, has a high rate of fire and fixed stock (though it can also accept Thompson stocks or have it removed altogether), but has inferior accuracy and is so shoddily made that it jams on a roll of 16 or higher. * The Thompson M1928A1 is a standard US military Thompson from the interwar period. It's very heavy and bulky, can use 50 or 100-round drums in addition to 20 and 30-round box mags, and has good accuracy and a high rate of fire. The stock is removable and replaceable (such as with an aftermarket folding stock) and it can be purchased with a vertical foregrip for slightly more money. * The Thompson M1927A1 is the M1928A1 with no buttstock (and no provision to fit one without custom work) and a shorter barrel. This makes the gun much lighter and less bulky, but also slightly less powerful and much more difficult to aim. * The Thompson M1923 is a squad automatic weapon version of the original M1921 Thompson, which accepts both magazines and drums. It has a much higher rate of fire than all the other guns, a longer barrel for increased damage, and an integrated bipod, but is heavy and expensive.

"Do you have these? I'd like a Mark I trench knife and a sheath, some satchel charges and the makings for some Molotov cocktails." "I also need an overcoat and a light jacket, both with some Thompson ammo pouches sewn into the lining. A satchel, a couple of field dressings, a set of lockpicks, a crowbar, a medium-sized hammer, a couple of hot water bottles, a cigarette lighter, two boxes of stormproof matches, a pocket knife, some garrote wire, a grappling hooks and 20 feet od light climbing rope, and a pair of pocket binoculars." e: also, Chitoryu, how do I resolve my little car-looting expedition now that I've broken into a car?
