The Free Kivasu Sate is one such mini-nation. Now 25, a man not unversed in the ways of violence, you are the head of what passes for the authority in your community.

Selected Faction
*Free Kivasu State Army (FKSA)

Picture demonstrates immediate area of community, located to the general northeast of Kivasu’s capital, the town of Doma.

For purposes of scale, it would take about a week by vehicle to travel to Doma and back and in good conditions it would take about a day to get to Pierche from Bankatu.

Each turn = 1 week, 3 actions per week.
D100 system, higher is better (unless stated otherwise).
Turn Action rolls done on averages
Current Action rolls take best of 3 (crits auto accepted 1-10, 90-100 etc)

Free Kivasu State Army (FKSA)
You are now officially captain of a company from the 3rd Battalion of the FKSA located in Bankatu, population 390. Understrength, the company numbers 57(1) men.
NASA: 12 (1 wounded)
Regulars: 45
Recruits: 0 (both new recruits are now up to the standard for regulars)
Penal-Legionnaires: 1 (1 Included in NASA count)

Picture depicts the mini-nation of the Free Kivasu State. Beyond the southern river lies the True Republic of Congo, and to the far South East lies Mbete King Country, where the FLDK originally fled from.

Red = Kisavu Towns
Yellow Dot = FKSA Control
Green Streak = FDLK Control
Light Green = Plains, Grass/Farmland
Dark Green = Jungle
Light Brown = Hills/scrublands
Dark Brown = Rocky/Mountainous
Light Blue = River/Lakes
Orange = Savannah

A single tile is equal to roughly half a day’s travel. This is in part due to distance but mostly due to the horrid conditions of the roads and the fact that travel at night is seen as an open invitation to FDLK, militia or bandit attack.

New African Surveillance Agents
They shall be my finest warriors, these men who give of themselves to m-waitasecond
You have selected these men to stand aside from the average soldier in 2nd Company. Giving them extra pay, training and equipment, you have selected them for the most hazardous duties, namely those that involve leaving the safety of the town. These men are the best shots in 2nd Company, have demonstrated an unerring gift for camouflaging themselves and are quickly learning to co-operate with each other in the field.

(NASA):
-Major Sergeant ‘Buk’ Rukuba: Soldier, lecher, gambler, considered to be your right hand man by most. He leads the NASA troops
>Drill Sergeant: These past few months have seen you co-operating heavily with Buk and the NCOs in trying to bring the troops up to scratch. He’s getting into the swing of it and, apart from occasionally being body tackled by panicking troopers, he seems to be enjoying it. +5 to training actions involving Buk (generally NASA training unless otherwise stated)
-Private Yamba: Considered the best shot in the company, eagerly joined the new patrol group.
-‘Meat’ Dede: Rapist, convict, hero, machete-wielding Penal Legionnaire. 3 ‘Missions’ remain.
-Private Mesik: Part Hunde (1/4), member of NASA. Still recovering from his wounds (2 weeks till he can walk again unsupported).

NOTE:
A score above 30 on your next NASA camouflage training action (must be a full action in camouflage) will grant all NASA members at +20 to covert actions.

>>22139668
Other Subordinates:
-Lieutenant Nathaniel: Well-liked by the men for his easy-going nature. Considered to be a bit of a pushover.
>Trader Rapport: The LT has over time earnt a little trust from most of the traders of Bunkatu, +10 to dealings with Bunkatu traders. The Traders may also approach you with business ideas through the LT.
-Sergeant ‘Shakira’ Malike: Ex-casual cross-dresser, now takes pride in his military attire.
-Sergeant Azzam: Big, ugly, doesn’t talk much. Never smiles.
-Sergeant Delacroix: Served in the First Congo War in 1996, believes he’s way too old for this shit.


ADDITIONAL: You benefit from the following bonuses.
>Natural Tactician: Merit played a large part in securing your position. +10 to all tactical and ‘preparatory’ rolls (e.g. ambush setup). More importantly, since you know how damn important it is, you’ve spent your short time here building a solid rapport with your senior NCOs. They can be trusted to support your every decision, at least in front of the men.
>Training Instructor: These past few months have seen you co-operating heavily with Buk and the NCOs in trying to bring the troops up to scratch. You’ve learnt a lot about training new recruits, one of your lessons being that you have to start from the basics and work your way up if you want it to all come together. +10 to training actions, Crit-fails are no longer auto-accepted.

>>22139689
You are Captain Hannibal Bonaparte, your promotion now officially approved by Central Command. Over the past few weeks you have taken steps to transform the men of 2nd Company, 3rd Battalion from a disorderly gang into something approaching a military force to be reckoned with. Although at first it was slow going the men now snap to attention when they see you, and you’re slowly crafting their enthusiasm into dedication to improving their skill. The men in the special NASA patrol squads in particular show a lot of promise as training continues.

You are happy at least to see marked improvement, and now dereliction of duty such as instances of men being absent from their posts are irregular and swiftly cracked down on. Keeping public order and accepting bribes and charging tariffs on incomers, be they official or unofficial, are done with more than a greedy urge to make a profit. The few recalcitrant layabouts who are sluggish in coming around have since been convinced of the error of their ways, or at least that their laziness is not worth the harassment from their squad-mates.

The extortion of the Hunde minority is still in place, but the new duties of the men keep them from pressing too hard for now. Though the Hunde are still wary of you, your actions in keeping your men in check and paying some form of compensation when your interference in their lives results in damage has earnt the grudging approval of the community at large. They won’t stick their neck out for you, but most are willing to admit that you’re probably the best warlord, government-approved or no, to take their place here in recent years. Some of the more opportunistic traders have started to view you as a potential business partner as opposed to a necessary evil.

>>22139718
You have put together a group of the 12 most competent soldiers into a patrol group, named the ‘New African Surveillance Agents’ . Despite some early setbacks and body tackling of NCOs their training continues and they show real promise. The regular troops are steadily improving as well, and the random shooting competition each week is now a regular event. You’ve recently undertaken your first steps in contacting the most powerful armed force in the region, after you and the FDLK. The results of your efforts have been disastrous; the ever-temporary ever-uneasy peace of the Bunkatu region soon looks to be once again be torn asunder by open war.

A few weeks ago your men came under attack while approaching the village of Pierche for the purpose of diplomatic negotiations. Three men were killed, one wounded, and your MG Jeep was destroyed. The survivors, the redemption-seeking rapist ‘Meat’ and a wounded NASA trooper Pvt Mesik, slowly made their way back to Bunkatu. Finding shelter with the local Chapel school, they were given assistance and managed to return to report to you. A week later you heard reports of a massacre of one of the communities to the south, the males butchered and decapitated but the females, and most of the male children, left untouched.

Today you have been approached by those you suspect of being the perpetrators of both the attack against you and the massacre. They claim that the heads they bring as proof of their good intentions belong to the real attackers. On top of everything else, this man, the right-hand man of the Pierche Militia Chieftan, surrounded now by 16 militiamen and your group of 14, is still apparently unfazed by this and the fact that he is under the sights of your NASA rifelmen. He has have offered you 2 motorbikes to assuage your ill feelings, as well as (essentially) a tribute of 10W per week.

>>22139731
The man sitting comfortably before is dressed rather elegantly, you notice. You listen to his claims that Pierche has no reasons for hostilities with you, and that the score or so number of heads sprawled out on the ground before you belong to the real attackers. You wait pointedly before speaking.

"We'd like some proof of this before we just let you leave this place."

He turns back to face you, maintaining eye contact and smiling calmly.

"Ah yes, proof. I thought you would."

He turns his head slightly to the side and speaks loudly.

"Ugeri, bring the proof!"

From behind a couple of bushels a short distance away two more militiamen come out, wheeling two motorbikes. The right-hand-man turns back to you.

"There we are, proof of our good intentions, yes? And our condolences for the loss of your men and vehicle. In addition, speaking for the Chief, I wish to ask you to accept a small token of our friendship. Our Chief is willing to provide you with [10W] per week should you still be unsatisfied with our proof."

I do want to make sure that this incident will not harm our town's trade relationship. Also, I trust that if my men come to deliver a message under a white flag, in the open, the will be allowed to voice their message."

Also, I am going to admit my little obsession - I wrote a "to-do" list after last game, pic related.

Anyway, I don't know about pissing off Pierche before we are ready. However, I don't want to pretend to be their friend and then betray them. Cold business for now seems ok, until we decide what to do / are ready for war imo.

Hey VDV.

Hah, nice man. I've been waiting for this one all day. Gotta admit I'm enjoying this one.

>>22139990

teehee! Nice roll Mach.

>>22140016

I was hoping MM starts later so I could get some work done and then escape to gym. It's not to be though. Still, I will try to do some work and not post as much today.

I'm thinking we should take the bikes, but turn down the tribute, even if only as a gesture of good will. Let's see if we can't convince 'em to hand over some sheep instead of the weekly tribute, since that'd be much more advantageous to us. If they won't give it up to us, see if we can't buy it -- there's no need for hostilities to exist between us and the village.

>>22139834
Perception = 97, Major Critical Success!

You regard him coldly. Sweat, nervousness, well-hidden but still there. The look in his eyes when you asked for further proof, you've seen it before. It's the look of a man that knows he's been dealt a bad hand, the look of a man who is making a gamble even though he doesn't have much to gamble with. They're pulling out all the stops, and its not to earn your trust... it's to appease you.

He'd have no reason to be this nervous unless he really was behind the attack. Clearly though, he either didn't order it or had no idea at first just who his men had attacked. In all likelihood, the men at the outpost had panicked and fired immediately, not knowing the meaning of a white flag. You can imagine his reaction upon finding out just what his men had done and who they had pissed off.

You glance at his men, 16 of them. That's a hefty band of men for a regular militia to travel out in the countryside with, and would normally indicate that the garrison back at Pierche is several times larger... unless this was an attempt at a show of strength. There's no way a village could field enough men to risk on a single outing like this right after attacking another militia, not unless they'd been recruiting non-stop. And they clearly haven't been, the only reason they're trying to buy you off must be because they are very under-strength at the moment and don't believe they could take you on.

>>22140285
There's something else about the men, the way they've been gripping their weapons, the close eye they keep on this man. The deference and eagerness they respond to his commands with.

You look back at the man, dressed too nicely for your average militiaman, though a very wealthy one could have attire like that. He's obviously educated though, and the hint of a French accent indicates to you that he sutdied at one of the major schools before the collapse. You suspect that this right-hand-man may in fact be the Chief himself...

>Perceptive: You have an impressive track record when it comes to reading people. +10 Bonus to perception checks on people. You may request a perception check at any time. You also earn +1W per week from generally coming out on top of any poker(or poker equivalent) matches with your NCOs.

But why attack the hamlet? Why kill off every male and bring you their heads? They would have taken casualties, that's about 20-25 heads on the ground before you and the rumor mill indicates that there was a least some kind of battle.

Perhaps this Chief, for you are certain that is what he is now, is much more cunning than you give him credit for. He had a long-standing feud with the hamlet, and he needed someone to pin the blame of the attack on. Two birds, one stone.

>Call him out on it? Could go south very fast.
>Go along with it? Bandits sure are nasty varmints, good thing you snuffed these fellas before they could do more damage.

>>22139964
really like this list and for an SAW style weapon we can see if we can get some more FAL's and fit them with 30rd mags heavy barrels and tripods we should also get tripods for the "sniper rifles" another thing if we are looking for some better rifles for the NASA that also would be cheap we could look into getting either AK 74s or more FAL's depending on wether we are going to base our combat doctrine around volume of fire in which case i suggest the AK's or accuracy in which case i suggest more FAL's

>>22140275
But now what if it was them? Guerrilla warfare like we had somewhat planned like last thread?

>>22140285
I say we play around with this guy a little bit, haha. He came at us cool as a cucumber and now that we somewhat know his true intentions...

>>22140357
I say we call him out on it only if we still have that 99 to fall back on.

>>22140285
>>22140293

I think we should decide now:

1. We ignore all this, let him go, and then smoke them ALL within the month. This means casualties, instability, and potentially some wealth.

2. We decide on peace for the time being. We push him. We say "Let's take a walk, just you and I."

Then tell him you suspect all of this. Tell him you KNOW it was his men, but you don't imagine him to be a stupid man, and genuinely believe he didn't order it.

Tell him that you want trade, you want a guarantee of safe passage for our troops to his town, and that you will entertain an embassy there in the future (lol house with our troops and a radio). You also want the location of the women and children of the tribe they killed.

>>22140407
what if we ignore it send our NASA guys in truck and he gets attacked by "bandits" on the way back?

>>22140385
You have the 99, but it cannot be used retro-actively. You would have to come to an agreement and then decide to use it rather than roll.

So how do you wish to handle it? Calling him out on it in front of his men (even if they are in on the whole thing) WILL be seen as a accusation of dishonesty and perhaps a refusal of his gifts. You're in a strong enough position that it might not matter though.

Rolled 62

>>22140385
We don't gotta be honorable about it. I just want to get what we want, since there's always the risk that those precious sheep might get killed off when we actually do go in for the kill. Frankly, I think it's more profitable to work with them -- even if only briefly -- and then kill them off just a little bit later.

I agree with VDV, essentially. We'll smoke 'em just a little bit down the line, but we should get what we need before we do so.

>>22140407

He is unlikely to snap if we don't embarrass him in front of his men imo, and he won't shoot us after we come back, because lol, we can clearly smoke them all here.

As long as he doesn't stand to lose wealth or control, I figure he would go with our demands, especially if he publicly looks good and this raises trade. Plus eliminates us raping him.

>>22140471

That's actually an extremely lulzy / evil plan. I am out for 20 mins though.

>>22140484
if we are going to enforce demands either force him to join our group as an officer with all his troops or if that is not possible force him to send a tithe of men to us every now and again it will help keep him honest if we have some hostages and we get some more bodies win win i say

So it sort of sounds like you're agreeing on VDV's second option?

"2. We decide on peace for the time being. We push him. We say "Let's take a walk, just you and I."

Then tell him you suspect all of this. Tell him you KNOW it was his men, but you don't imagine him to be a stupid man, and genuinely believe he didn't order it.

Tell him that you want trade, you want a guarantee of safe passage for our troops to his town, and that you will entertain an embassy there in the future (lol house with our troops and a radio). You also want the location of the women and children of the tribe they killed."

>>22140540
Hell, why not? Let's give our NASA dudes a testfire, yeah? If all goes well, we may be able to achieve the best possible result by getting everything we want right away.

>>22140540
I am afraid you wouldn't get the +10 as you won't be ahead of them long enough to prepare anything. And you'd have to tell me how you plan to get ahead of them in the first place as well.

>>22140605
Ahhh... hm...

Should we just go with VDV's option 2?

>>22140605
look for shortcuts to places on the road where we can cut them off burn the 99er to find one and then set up an ambush and try and capture their leader and equipment for information/usage/sale

>>22140598
>>22140540

So if you guys are doing this, care to tell me how? The Chief, his men, and the traders will be walking home at a fairly slow pace (they will have to camp overnight).

The Truck can transport 11(inc driver), but will need to stay on the roads.

>>22140729
alternatively if we got friendlies along the road get them on the radio and tell them to block the road (ferrying sheep over engine failed on a truck that kind of stuff)

>>22140750
if they are on foot and are staying overnight send the NASA out on patrol on the night put on a show about them being late back when really they are setting up an ambush along the road

>>22140729
If you did that and arrived ahead of them by a large enough margin, then yes you would get a +10 to your ambush set-up.

>>22140775
Maybe take the truck about half of the way and have NASA jump out, walk the rest, jump 'em?

>>22140809
So follow them in the truck, jump out and overtake them during the night?

I'll count that as a tactical maneuver if you personally accompany them so you'd get the +10, plus the +10 for setting up an ambush. BUT, you do not have that +20 camouflage bonus yet for the NASA.

>>22140845
You know, maybe we should just forget it and attack them maybe next week.

>>22140859
i say we do it now if the hamlets were paying tribute to us it would send the wrong message if we didnt do something about it asap

>>22140888
>>22140845
Lending my vote to this, and we should definitely accompany them if we get a bonus. Our rolls thus far have been pretty pitiful, and we need every bonus we can get.

>>22140888
They weren't paying tribute, the 1W from that particular hamlet was your cut of the bribes/tarriffs they paid for entry and to trade in Bunkatu each week.

>>22140859
>>22140888

I am back. I know how to set up an ambush. But if we attack them, we need to go. They leave, we set up ambush, our forces follow.

What the fuck do we do in Pierche though? If anyone can answer what we do AFTER we kill them, then I am all for ambush.

I have thought about it - and my answer is we can't hold the city without incurring major problems.

I wanted war too, and I love 99's idea (again, I know how to do it), but in the end, I don't think we should.

I think we should just push him now and focus on training / econ.

>>22140954
we pretend as if it wasnt us capture their leader coerce some info out of him take their gear and then kill him it will send a message to the hamlets that we arent just power hungry warlords and a message to others about what happends to "bandits" messing on our turf

Let's just take a vote, and figure out the how after.

I vote push for economic concessions, with uncertain future action, but potential to attack them. So NO ambush.

Vote up.

i vote for the ambush eye for eye i say

I vote for this.
>>22140530

>>22140997
and for poetic justice and to mask it as a bandit attack cut their heads off

>>22140976

He IS the leader, as far as we can tell at this point. For all practical purposes, we can take them now. We start backing away like all is good, give the command, pop pop, watching motherfuckers drop. The problem is that people in our village AND the Pierche traders will see this. I am against getting a traitorous reputation. Then again, we could probably spin it.

I'm hesitant to take 'em out right next to the town, since if word gets out of what we did then things could get pretty bad for us.

On the other side, the ambush is equally risky.

I'd suggest going with VDV's thing, building up our powerbase a bit (dem sheep, man!) for a week or two, and then going in hard. I think that with the weavery back online, we could start building smoe serious influence.

>>22141156
if we want to go in hard (i presume that means assaulting their town) it would be much more costly in lives than the ambush and we wouldnt pop them next to town we would set up a few kilometres out and if we take out their leader now it would make future action against them easier

Also, what if they are smart and keep off the road. Then our ambush is worth shit. We don't have radios, so it's not like we can have forward observers.

We aren't ready for this shit if ANYTHING goes wrong. If we have a clear kill-zone, yea, sure, it's fine.

>>22141384

I am not so sure that road is safe, driver might lose truck. NASA can definitely walk back though.

I think for now we are all in agreement that we accept the bikes and let them go. We vote on ambush or not after that.

>>22141332
Accept. Refuse the 10.

>>22141363
I'm thinking this and burning the 99. No witnesses, no survivors, no mercy. Maybe even take their leader alive...

>>22141404
send some regulars on the bikes with the truck to make sure its safe

>>22141407
You understand the traders will be traveling with them?
That'll put them at about 16 armed men and 20 'others' who most likely won't be armed. You've taken the news of the village massacre in your stride, just not sure how you'd handle this.

>>22141438
*hamlet massacre.

>>22141438
Ahh... then I take back my thoughts on ambush... if it was just them it'd be good.

>>22141407

We are going to have about 8 men, if we want to leave the truck with at least some defense / someone to watch all sides.

It's 8 against 17 (I have 14 in the picture, my mistake), so double our numbers. I 100% assume we have element of surprise. If we don't, casualties are guaranteed.

I don't know if I would trust our men to watch their fire too though, that's just asking to have one of them run away, etc.

ASSUMING they stay bunched up, we fire incendiary/anti-infantry RPGS at road from fairly close. These men then roll to a different position and take out AKs. The moment everyone sees the RPGs fired, they open up. If we can get ANY sort of high-ground, we are good. if not, this is going to be a prolonged gun-fight that will need the fire move shit we practiced.

>>22141438
we have to take out the others aswell while we have no beef with the traders to make it look like a bandit attack and keep this in the dark among the others we cannot afford to leave survivors and as i said set up an ambush in the treelines mow them down the traders will be pissed off at the millitary for not escorting them properly millitary will be weakened due to a possible power struggle to find new leader

>>22141438

That nails the coffin on the head for me - I am against ambush. No way can anyone watch their fire, and killing 20 civvies is retarded.

>>22141472

I think it would be clear it was us if we did that.

In either case the consensus seems to be accept the bikes and send him on his way.

You accept his terms, and the gift of the motorcycles as a form of compensation, but refuse the 10W tribute stating 'it is not necessary'.

The Pierche traders take longer than usual, it's been 2 weeks since they were last able to make it to Bunkatu, but they and the 16 Pierche Militiamen begin to make their way home some time in the afternoon.

Just gonna say, no matter what the eventual decision is I like that you guys are fully considering this not rejecting it out of hand due to it's somewhat underhanded nature. Too often in /tg/ quests it ends with questers white-knighting all over the place. I'd still run it, but I am very happy to see you guys have a more cunning approach than that.

I think we can eventually come up with a cleaner way to do it, that prevents civilian death which would most likely harm us in the long run via reputation or profit.

Well... I'd like to, but there's too many consequences of doing it...

... not to say we won't keep doing the guerrilla warfare though. I want revenge for that freaking jeep god-damn it. And the aardvark.

I say we finish up our training and then next turn get with the building and supplying:

1. Stealth practice for NASA. Add some movement. Practice A/B retreats. Group A lays down covering fire, group B moves back and secures good position, lays down covering fire for A, etc.

2. Kill house practice (last one imo, before tearing down this house and building defensive position). No live ammo again, I guess.

3. Have Nathaniel spend up to 10 wealth (2 AKs worth, not that much really) to house the refuges and get them food for a week or two.

Also, with his gentle nature, Nathaniel can question them all. Shakira can dress up for old-time's sake and stand in the background, just so they don't get the wrong impression about us being too sane and safe.

>>22141711
>>22141658

No white-knighting here, I just don't think it's a good idea to piss off their traders too much.

Maybe we should try to get intel somehow. I definitely plan to send NASA to get checkpoint / #s intel, but I mean someone to see how the city feels about the leader. Maybe we can even kidnap someone.

>>22141812
if we dont have already build some watchtowers along the edge of town elevated positions that can look out into the surrounding area

>>22141821
sorry reformed /b/tard

>>22141812
also if possible maybe make some carriages for the bike and put mg's on them unless the mgs are man portable

>>22141837
What are they being built out of?

>>22141847
No problems man.

>>22141835
To get the permanent NASA camouflage bonus, the entire action has to be dedicated to their training solely on camouflage.

Rolled 49

>>22141835
I'm not down with the idea of an ambush if the traders are part of the group. Too much potential for collateral damage, and we don't want to piss off the ever important commercial/merchant groups. As it stands, I'll agree with everything except VDV's last proposal. NASA needs to get beast as hell for our next operation (probably against the scum we just let get away), as do our regular troops.

I'd use our third action instead on acquiring some new devices to play with. I'd send the bikes off to Doma to see if we can't hook ourselves up with some fresh toys. Even a single grenade launcher for one of those FN-FALs or a new medkit could go a long way. Better yet, maybe we could find someone who knows how to make IEDs?

File: 1356049023486.png-(70 KB, 678x540, BIGB.png)

>>22141837

Star thingies are fortifications. We are also building a fortification in our "practice killhouse" when we get the chance (maybe next turn)?

>>22141873

I think we have PKs or .50 cals for MGs, so they are definitely LMGs or medium MGs, so man portable. We had one on our jeep, but alas...our jeep =/

>>22141916
wood? metal sheets?

>>22141925
if they are fifty cals they arent really man portable needing a team to set up and operate properly

>>22141916

That's cool on whole action. Make #1 purely camouflage. I will re-write whole thing for ease once we all agree.

>>22141918

That was the initial idea, but I changed it. We need to prioritize though.

IEDs are good, but we need some sort of remote-det for them to help in our assault. I was just counting on nades and wire for now unfortunately. Nades are expensive as fuck too: 6W each, but might be cheaper in Doma.

I

>>22141835
Agreed.

>>22141929
Depends on how high and solid you want them. For a slightly elevated shack, it will take you two actions and 5W to build it from materials around here.

For anything approaching an actual watchtower, you will need quality lumber from the village of Ikozi costing about 12W (and it would take until next week to transport it back to here). As well as 2 actions.

>>22141961

A man can carry a .50 on his back. But yea, once you factor in ammunition and stand (note: we do NOT have bipods/tripods for them atm).

Also, I don't see them doing much good on bikes, was thinking of one for the truck though. Bikes can just stay as mobile as possible - nazi bikes are slow as fuck and bigger targets.

Proposing a vote to keep this moving. For action #3 vote:

1. Shopping trip - who and how, usually Nathaniel goes with Shakira and his fire-team (non-NASA).

2. Build house / question refugees (could get good intel). My vote.

3. Other.

>>22142013
But seriously. Next time we get traders we'll ask 'em for bipods and what not.

I say next week though, we worry about building up our defense and maybe get some recruits. Propaganda. Advertise the bonuses of joining the Militia.

Sergeant Delacroix seems to know a lot more about this sort of thing than your average Sergeant should. He lacks the materials though, and absolutely refuses to train anyone else. His missing middle finger might suggest a reason why.

>captcha: yanzere officers

Also, I need help with our shopping list:

1. IEDs (with some sort of remote det device)
2. Hand grenades (only 5 or so for NASA)
3. Wire for mechanical traps (like nade trip traps).
4. Bi-pods / tripods for MGs.
5. Suppressors.

Note, if we plan to kill everyone in Pierche, we will need a radio and operator there.

File: 1356049913535.jpg-(439 KB, 1632x1232, home_truck.jpg)

>>22142013
Your truck is one of these.

>>22142136
1. AND materials to make them.
2. Agreed.
3. Covered in #1.
4. Agreed.
5. Just a handful, s'pose.

We've also gotta get those radios ASAP, I don't like being blind here as to what's going on elsewhere in the country. Anyway, having non-remote det IEDs is in itself potentially useful since they can be used as mines should we need to ever block off one of the roads.

So you guys seem to have agreed on:

1. Camouflage session for NASA

2. Kill-house training, no live ammunition

So for your 3rd action:
A) Shopping (send LT/Buk/Whoever and some fellas down to Doma for numerous things)
B) Helping out refugees
C) Start on watchtower?

>>22142195
Agreed on your agreement.

>>22142195
Oh, and I'm pretty keen on getting a grenade launcher or two. I feel that'd be a great investment for NASA, since being a great force is just as much about the quality of equipment as it is of training.

So for concensus:
1. Camouflage session for NASA

2. Kill-house training, no live ammunition

3. Shopping (who are you sending and how much money are you giving them?):
1. IEDs (with some sort of remote det device) and materials to make them
2. Hand grenades (only 5 or so for NASA)
3. Bi-pods / tripods for MGs.
4. Suppressors.

>>22142195
>>22142221

I am down with that.

>>22142205

But I still vote for B, because we can find out EXACTLY what happened and maybe even more. If we don't, we just have 5 starving thieves on the street.

If we can get a "free" action, then A and put the hobos in the barracks, under watch, for the week, until we can decide what to do with them. I just don't want them starving and being butthurt (literally and figuratively)

>>22142271
This has the Idi Amin stamp of approval.

(though it still lacks grenade launchers, goddamnit!)

>>22142271

This is going to cost us. I say send Nathaniel in a truck with like 100W. All this is going to be expensive as hell. Send bikes with him, both to "scout" for him and make sure he doesn't get any ideas. Hell maybe even send LaCroix with them to pick good IED parts.

The more there are, the safer they are, and the less likely Nathaniel is to run with the money. Which is unlikely, but still a concern with that much.

Hey, just a thought in general. Awhile back I said something about training some bad-ass bodyguards that could act as like agents and shit. We can train them in CQC and how to be excellent in pistol combat to where he could take on a group by himself... we could solidify our reputation something of a special forces thing.

>>22142271
Agreed. Add grenade launchers.

>>22142286

I think we can add them to the list. Keep in mind that Nath won't be back for weeks.

>>22142277
You can question them as a free action. You sure you want a couple of women being forced to stay in your barracks though? Regardless of what actually happens it won't look good.

>>22142334

Or at least until next week.

>>22142323
I agree with this, send all our mobile assets and a good squad to guard it. We're going to be hauling back a ton of shit, if all goes well, and we want none of it getting stolen or lost.

>>22142346

Oh yea, women, nm. Then yea, go shopping, but question them. Dunno, maybe pay someone to house them for a week. Whatever, I just don't want them running wild.

>>22142323
i vote against getting the supressors for the sole reason they wont be as useful right now if we had proper weapons to go with them then yeah id agree but we should wait investing in suppressors till we got something other than old ak47's to put them on remember supressors arent interchangeable get materials to set up the watchtowers (the nice one) get some metal plates to armor our truck and check about getting some walky talkies for our NASA team

>>22142382
also see about getting another fal or two and some large capacity mag's tripods and heavy barrels to go with them to act as a light machine gun

Okay, I need 3 rolls (77, 53, 27 etc).

1. Camouflage training. You need above 30 to get the permanent +20 covert NASA bonus. (I'll add to the end result with +10 from you and +5 from Buk).

2. Kill-house

3. Trip to Doma (LT Nathaniel, Sgt Shakira/Delacroix? Also 9 other men, and 1 more on a bike as forward scout.

1. Camouflage = 51.5(+15) = 66.5.
Capitalising on their obvious flair for camouflage and hidden movement, you devote a lot of time to training them in all the numerous ways of blending into the environment and all the myriad ways of going unnoticed. Buk is very impressed and at the end of the week has them spy on the town of Bunkatu at night according to your plan, randomizing the patrols and checkpoints. They go completely unnoticed and their report on the troop movements is roughly accurate.
>Your NASA troops now have +20 to any covert action rolls.

2. Kill House = 93(+15) = 100(max). Major Critical Success!
Practice makes perfect. This is made perfectly clear as throughout the week, in between camouflage lessons, the NASA troops make perfect sweeps and breaches of the Hunde manor. They exemplify professionalism, clearly their teambuilding has allowed them to work in concert in crowded areas VERY effectively.
>NASA troops now receive +5 to Urban Combat rolls.

It's nothing good. When your men arrive they here word of a major FDLR offensive to the south of Kivasu. The army is buying/requisitioning a lot more stuff. This is mainly bad for you because your men have to scramble for the leftovers, which are of course expensive, and there is going to be little chance of convincing your higher-ups to lend you support in the Bunkatu region.

Oh there are a couple of those around. They cost 25W each, no ammo.

>>22142909
I'm thinking the materials, three suppressors, two bipods, fuel for the week, and five grenades? That's 100 exactly. Remove the greandes and it's 80. get another suppressor and more fuel...

Grenade launchers are a good thing, but... we don't got enough money for everything.

>>22143008
im just trying to figure wether its worth buying them over rpgs because if they are like the tubular once used in vietnam with 1 shot then i think its better to just buy rpg ammo.

i suggest we buy 4 proffesional grade handhelds
2 FAL's to be used as SAW (we can make counterweights that act in the same way as heavy barrels anyway) enough bipods for all the fals and mgs suppressors for the two sniper rifles and enough to give to one NASA fireteam and ask around to see if we can find a field medic/medical instructor while we are here we shouldnt have to rely on civvies for medical care we should at least be able to offer basic first aid and the like to our soldiers

>>22143097
the handhelds are 1 for each fireteam along with 1 more for any officers going on missions with the NASA

>>22143075
I'd say this but with also two tube-grenade launchers. That comes out to 150, and gives us mobile fire support capability for NASA.

>>22143125
You only gave Nathaniel 100W to spend.

>>22143125

Nathaniel only has 100W on him. Sec guys, trying to optimize this.

File: 1356054181756.png-(132 KB, 1249x564, ShoppingList.png)

Here is what I am coming up with - pic related.

Let's talk essentials:

We absolutely need fuel. Bipods and tripods are a huge boost, so I say necessary. Walkie-talkies - short range but absolute key for effective ops. Grenades - definitely need some (launchers not so much).

If you guys have something against suppressors, I understand - but I think they are key for getting into the city unnoticed and putting our leet CQB to use.

>>22143271

Note, we can take off suppressors and buy IEDs for exactly 100W - if they are remote det, it's probably worth it.

>>22143097

I am with you on SAW FALs, but I think other stuff is more important atm, since we have automatic rifles anyway.

>>22143271
seems good enough but i think we can cut out the tri pods and add two bi pods instead since i think dragging 50.cals around isnt a good idea rather call the mg's pkm's and have it that way because even if we get tri pods for the 50.cals we still need 2 men to operate it (loader and gunner) however i dont know how bad the commercial grade handhelds are but if they are decent enough we can downgrade to commercial and afford two fals for the NASA to act as light machine guns with bipods and some home made modifications to dampen the recoil

>>22143191
>>22143177
>>22143271
My bad. I'll go with what VDV's putting forward, then.

>>22143400

>>22143410
another thing we can do is go to army headquarters in the town and ask if they have any old field/hunting manuals or the like and if there is a library in town ask for some books on local flora and fauna to train the NASA in survival

>>22143271

>>22143473
That sounds like a good idea in fact expanding on that idea we can locate poisonous flora and use them in blow darts for a insta-quick kill when we need to be quite on covert operations.

Would fit in with the jungle spirit camo thing the NASA has going for them.

Another idea is to find hallucegenic plants, grind them into dust and use that for CQC when things get dicy or make some kind of smoke grenade using that would sow confusion and gods knows what else to enemy troops

Commercial Ones have a little better range than the ones you guys probably played with as a kid. So you could probably hear each other a couple of streets away.

The Professional ones will give you a good mile or so operating area.

i think we can safely downgrade then seeing how it is only for a squad sized force i doubt we need more than half a kilometre of range or so and it lets us buy extra fals or bribe a field medic/physician to come with us if we find one

also remember if we split up the nasa into three groups then one can stay within effective range of both and relay messages if needed

>>22143646

I don't think we can afford to downgrade based on this. A mile isn't shit. We might have them hitting from different sides of the town. We also might keep a radio with the pick up truck (we still only have one truck), so they will have to be inserted and it would be nice to keep some contact with it.

Just waiting on a finalised list. Btw, since you're using up a week's worth of fuel now you'll have 1 weeks worth of fuel left when you get back if you don't buy any now.

>>22143847
Then I vote for removing the either the tripods or bipods and the grenades.... buy two weeks of fuel.

>>22143734
il support this i guess

>>22143870
we can remove 1 professional grade handheld and still have enough to outfit each NASA fireteam with 1 it will mean we wont have any spares though alternatively we could remove 1 suppressor i am however against removing the tri/bipods or the grenades

>>22143870

I promise you I started off with fuel for 2 weeks, but then I realized we are going to be assaulting soon (since we are spending all this money on weapons), so we might as well do it all the way. I changed 2nd week of fuel for nades.

>>22143870
>>22143917

That depends - are we killing ALL MILITARY or are we still taking out patrols and kidnapping the leader?

>>22143954
i suggest we stick one of the bi pods and one of the suppressors on one of the FAL's we have and use that to take out lookouts/patrols stick the same sniper in the assault team and give them the rest of the supressors and then we follow the plan you originally laid out we could maybe have te rest of the NASA make some molotovs and start a brushfire on the other side of the outpost to distract when we make our assault

>>22143954
I was planning on the patrols and leaders... guerrilla thing.

>>22143804
Great movie, hilarious man. Figured the name was appropriate for this quest.

Well since these guys are down here for the whole week I'll let you decide on a list while opening up Week 11 in Bunkatu for action.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Location: Bunkatu
Population: 390 Civilians, 57(1) Military
Wealth: 112
NOTE: The family of 5 refugees has set up a more permanent shack shelter of sorts on the edge of town, and the 3 more able ones have been asking around town for employment.

Income
+30W Wages p/wk (paid monthly)
+9W Bribes/Tariffs (your cut from the soldiers earnings)
Note: This is considered normal in your country.
+1W Poker Night

Expenditure
-15W p/w Food Ration Supplement (paid monthly)
-6W Extra pay to Patrol Squad (NASA)
-2W Shooting Comp
-100W Given to Nathaniel
Vehicles:
-1 Truck (1 on Away Mission)
-2 Off-road Motorcycles (1 on Away Mission)
-Fuel for 1 week

Arms:
-2 Machine Guns
-2 FN-FAL Rifles with scopes
-4 RPGs (each w/ 3 shots)
-Adequate Ammunition
-15 Flashlights
-1 Rifle scopes

Fortifications
-3 Guard Posts at each road entrance, can block vehicles and provide adequate cover for 10
-Villa, looks like it was built to resemble a castle. Will withstand RPGs but you wouldn’t bet on it holding up under sustained artillery.
-Hunde Manor: More of a glorified shed, it commands an advantageous position but would stand up to sod-all incoming fire. Buk recommends tearing it down and starting anew. Needs a new front door, as well as a kitchen table after a Private collapsed on it during training.

Actions available: 3

>>22144139
>>22143983

Let's just stick with option 1 then - we need the suppressors.

Anyway, I am going to the gym

Have NASA scout next week, drop them off by truck, they scout the whole night, and can be picked up in morning. That way we have some intel before our gear arrives. Don't engage or anything, or even take any risks.

Also insert them via road near 2 villages imo, main might be patrolled. Don't even go close to P by truck, have them walk the final 20% or so of the way.

Rolled 81

>>22144187
Reports from some farmers of an attack to one of the southern hamlets!

Rolling to see how it panned out

>>22144190

Maybe question the womenz and make them a house too, dunno. Peace out.

>>22144210
this had better not be the same guys we let go

File: 1356058194840.png-(38 KB, 614x500, Militia Quest Map (Not So(...).png)

>>22144210

The hamlet came under attack at evening-fall, shots raining down from the undergrowth into the community indiscriminately, machine gun fire included. 5 people, 2 of them children, were gunned down during the battle.
The militia fought back fiercely, taking up prepared positions and firing back at their attackers. Unprepared for a swift retaliation, several of the attackers were killed and the others hastily retreated, leaving their dead and wounded behind.

Rolled 70

>>22144326

>>22144326
I'd suggest spending one action on sending a small team over to do a little bit of investigation and to talk with the hamlet's militia. Depending on what they find (and on how valuable the hamlet is), we may wish to consider further action.

May as well continue NASA training in the meantime, perhaps switch things up by having them do some survival exercises. Perhaps we could recruit a handful of tribal peoples or some guides from the more isolated hamlets to that end?

Third . . I'm thinking we really need to assess sometime soon just how functional we can get the weavery, or at least where we can get parts/mechanics to get it even semi-operational. I think we could profit quite handily from it.

>>22144381
if we send people around to the surrounding hamlets i think we could suggest to them that they pay protection money to us (enough for a weeks supply of fuel at a time and a small profit) for us to start sending the NASA on patrols maybe twice a week to them it would help our finances a bit it would give the NASA guys some experience and it would show the locals that we arent just asshole warlods brandishing gold plated ak's

>>22144336
Unsatisfied with measure of vengeance that had been exacted upon them, the head of the community left the younger and more infirm warriors behind to defend their families while he took his 5 best men and pursued the fleeing enemy.

Knowing the area well, they managed to hunt down a smaller split-off group and kill 7, losing only one of their own in their process. They interrogated the wounded, learning that these were FDLR troops, before gruesomely releasing them.

Elder Denge sent dome of his men to warn as many as they can of the new presence of a large FDLR warband in the region, while focusing on turning his home into a defensible position.

>>22144381

Fuck it. Send NASA and another 12 men squad. Get them some supplies. Make sure they don't get shot by accidentally being considered hostiles. Question locals. If no hints, NASA does night intel mission on Pierchi. 12 men sleep just outside hamlets, ready to help them.

If we get info, NASA is ready to track and destroy.

>>22144436

Let me translate for you guys: Leave Pierche alone for now, bigger fish to fry. Make sure D is tight and men are ready. Maybe more training for regular soldiers too.

>>22144381
There is little need for an investigation, Elder Denge has sent one of his men with the regular farmers and tradesmen to Bunkatu to warn you (and others) of their presence. Of course if you don't believe his version of the events you can investigate away...


Also, STILL waiting on that list. :P

>>22144474
continue with the rifle comp
send people to the nearest hamlets to see if they are open to the idea of protection money
prepare some physical exercises for the rest of our millitia supervized by our nco's and the NASA

>>22144474
and if you are talking about the shopping list i believe the consensus was take out 1 professional grade handheld and add another week of fuel

>>22144512

Rifle comp is automatic.
How exactly would we protect them without a radio? We can barely man our posts and have a few men to spare while a shift rests.
I don't think the NASA is any more fit than regular troops lol.

>>22144565
for your second point we would spend most of the money recieved on fuel to patrol the hamlets twice or thrice a week i am however saying that if we had the income to do so we should be doing it for free but fuel is costly

>>22144512
If we do the idea of protection money we will need to give them some form of proof otherwise they will tell us to blow it out our noises.

I suggest we have the NASA group move out in the surrounding area of the hamlet after telling them that we are sending troops to assist. Say a donation of funds for our brave troops who are combing the jungles for these child killing monsters would be greatly appreciated.

If they say no fuck you then we continue regardless so that when we locate and nuetralize the warband we can ride into that hamlet like God Damn Big Heroes and prove them wrong.

Any suggestions to the above?

>>22144533
So:

x2 Fuel = 20
x2 Bi-pods = 6 (I think you guys wanted to drop the Bi-pods?)
x4 Suppressors = 32
x3 Proffessional Grade = 24
x3 Hand Grenades = 12

Total = 94

Is that right?

>>22144603
>>22144631

I say we get leads and have NASA hunt. Some of their indoor bonus might carry over to jungle. Not a lot, but some. Their concealment bonus will carry over a lot though. I dont think they will get ambushed, at least.

As far as getting protection money - we are in no place to do that imo.

>>22144631
Hello there!

>>22144667
No carry over for the indoor/urban bonus I'm afraid, but it's obviously easier camouflage wise.

>>22144674
if the machineguns are pkm's then drop the tri pods and add 2 bi pods if their 50.cals keep the tri pods and the bi pods

File: 1356059766681.jpg-(244 KB, 2956x1368, pkm.jpg)

>>22144699
These things, right?

Yep, definitely not 50cals. You wish you were that lucky.

Final List:
x2 Fuel = 20
x2 Bi-pods = 12
x4 Suppressors = 32
x3 Proffessional Grade = 24
x3 Hand Grenades = 12

Total = 100

>>22144759
the bi pods were 3 each i believe

>>22144759
*x4 Bipods

>>22144674
Hey MM nice to see you guys. Btw do you guys live in Europe or something keep missing the start T.T

Capcha says tragedy anopage

I am worried now

So my internet went out of the longest of time. It's been going in an out for awhile. Don't expect my opinion on things, haha.

We're going to need to rebuild Hunde house. We're going to need to train all of our men on defensive actions and the like.

>>22144831
Heh, Australia mate.

>town helpacil
This isn't sounding too good...

>>22144810
yep seems right

>>22144867

I say we form a dancing troop with Shakira at the head and become traveling performers!

>>22144867
>>22144667
>>22144631
>>22144512

Suggested Actions:
1. Physical training, for everyone (NASA not included if put on another action)

2. Send NASA to contact the Hamlets (need specifics, who goes where). You won't be able to contact everyone, unless you split up down to 1-2 man teams. And you'll need to have at least 1 person use the spare bike.

3. Sweep the Jungle (mix of contact attacked Hamlet and sweep jungle?). Short of a Crit, you will NOT be getting this done in just a couple of turns. That jungle's massive.

4. Rebuild Hunde house (I assume fortify it, or did you want to keep it as a realistic looking house?)

>>22144897
Also 1 vote for dancing troop. May be interpreted as desertion.

>>22144897
>>22145013

>>22144999
i suggest we do 1 2 and 4 if the hamlets agree to 1 then thats a better chance of getting these guys than sweeping the jungle where we may run into an ambush

>>22144999

1. Physical training.

2. Contact Hamlets to South. Get intel. Sweep jungle area based on Intel. This can be their physical training - walk motherfuckers, walk.

3. Fortify former kill house (destroy and rebuild).

>>22145100
>2. Contact Hamlets to South. Get intel. Sweep jungle area based on Intel. This can be their physical training - walk motherfuckers, walk

You won't be able to contact hamlets AND sweep the jungle with NASA. And as I said before, if you want to contact everyone to the south this week you'll still need to split up. Or did you just mean the hamlet that had been attacked?

>>22145174
Oops, me. Really should remember the name thing.

>>22145085
Going for what 99 said, I suggest we have the NASA head to the Hamlet which was attked recently as the trail is still 'fresh' so to speak and have the search for the FDLK or whatever acronym the rebels are.

And captcha says for chinketi!!!
I agree For the Chinketi!

>>22145259
So concensus:

1. Physical Training

2. Tear down Hunde Manor, build fortified positions (1/3)

3. NASA contact attacked Hamlet, try to convince them to help you track down attackers.

Is that about right?

>>22145234

That one Hamlet. Splitting up is dumb.It's beyond dumb. They will just get smoked and achieve nothing.

>>22145341

Yes.

>>22145341
Agreed.

1. Physical Training = 63.7 (+10) = 73.7.
Somewhat satisfied with the marksmanship of your soldiers, you concentrate on their physical health this week. Lifting heavy loads, running to their checkpoints, running back. All sorts of exercises which by the end of the week lead you to believe that most of your men are at least passably in shape.
Sergeant Delacroix suggests that next you could work on integrating the physical exercises into the weekly competition, making it a regular thing.

2. Fortbuilding = 41.
Obviously exhausted over the week from your drills, the men make very average headway. The Manor is torn down and salvaged, and the beginnings of the fortifications are set.

>>22145857
3. NASA contact attacked Hamlet = 5. Major-Critical Fail!

(I’m assuming you went back with the man who delivered the message, so even this isn’t going to be a JoP incident)

It’s past nightfall as your men approach the hamlet. The name of the place is Lindi, says the cheerful man who accompanies you. His name is Jerry Springer, who he claims was a king or ‘Tycoon’ of a faraway empire. Buk, being the only one present old enough to have watched US TV shows, manages to pass his chuckle off as a hefty cough.

Any thoughts of humour die away quickly as he hears gunfire up ahead. Smoke obscured by the night, your men have walked straight up to the hamlet of Lindi. The fighting must have just started, otherwise you would have heard the noise further back, but many houses are already well-aflame and gunfire is… cacophonous. The pitiful return fire from the villagers is nothing compared to the He can tell through the darkness that already the residents are panicking, bodies dropping as they run for cover or try to rescue loved ones.

Jerry Springer gives a mournful cry and rushes forward, unslinging his AK and firing blindly into the night. The NASA troopers are still unnoticed by both sides.

>Crap, here we go boys! [Try to use the element of surprise, will use two rolls]
>To hell with that, there must be at least 30 of them in there! [1 roll needed, your men bail]

>>22145892

Let's do this. If things go bad, we will retreat. For now, engage from range. We have 2 scoped FALs and it's night, so our fire / move / fire / move drill will play wonders. They won't know where we are.

>>22145892
this may seem like a crit fail but this way we wont have to track them down engage them but keep away from the light use the FAL's to take them down one after one when we are in position and the other guys provide supression fire

>>22145964
>>22145955

And if things go poorly, the "hospital" is nearby. Badum-tshhh.

On a serious note, we gonna torture us some rebels.

Rolled 74, 72 = 146

>>22145990
oh and if we find out its the same guys at last time decapitate their heads go to their town and tell their CO "hey i found those of yours who were out terrorizing the hamlets here's the proof" gauge his reaction to see if he gave the order or not

1. Sneak up on flank = 77.7 (+20) = 97.7. Major Critical Success!
Your troops split into two teams (indicate if you wish to split them up further) and stealthily move into the undergrowth. They secure a favorable position without raising any suspicion, in fact the enemy exposes themselves in their eagerness to shoot down the helpless villagers.

2. Firefight = 60.3.
Your men open fire on the enemy, cutting them down in a completely unexpected firestorm. The nearest group of 5 are utterly annihilated, and the group of 12 behind them suffer severe casualties as well.
One of your privates is hit in the neck by panicked return fire.

Eh, not counting these.

>>22146334
does this count towards meat's number of missions?

Oh man we are not losing NASA. I say if we have to counter roll we blow the 99.

>>22146364
Meat should be there, right?

>>22146370
>>22146370
yeah but im wondering since it was more of a coincidence that were seeing battle now rather than an actual mission

>>22146389
We weren't expecting battle for the jeep of peace, were we?

>>22146370
oh and i also say we blow the 99 if we get to counter roll weve put too much time and effort into the NASA to lose them to bandits and if we do use the 99 it will probably impress the locals enough that we can at least get their help learning about the local fauna flora/they decide to help us coerce the other hamlets into paying for our patrols/we get on the good side of the people staying at the chapel

>>22146405
i wouldnt know i hadnt joined then

Blow the 99 - imagine our reputation after this lol

>>22146334
The enemy quickly turns its attention towards the real threat, bullets fly your way and you can hear the shouts of squad leaders organising their men and positioning them to counter-attack.
There must be more of these guys than you thought, you killed and wounded at least a dozen of them in the first few seconds, and you marksmen are picking off who they can in the dark, and their not even thinking of backing off?

The villagers/militia make good use of the reprieve, by the light of the village fires they can be seen fleeing from the barricades, grabbing their families or essentials (one man picking up and carrying a goat). They're running down the road now, away from the fighting, leaving their dead behind.
