Here's the situation as it is now:



UCG, B_C and Bob all get actions this round. Then all the remaining Germans get a go.
Next turn everyone will be aware and can possibly act... if they don't panic. This is a hint that you all should be getting near the leaders to get the benefit of their command radius and for the leaders not to leave their squad out swinging in the breeze.
Also remember your main objective is to capture the 2 bridges intact.....  ;)

Who's up?

What's the command radius again? Also, does my position up on this ridge with the embankment between me and that nazzie in I9 give me any defensive bonus? It make more sense for me to stay closer to the bridges if I can survive a bit longer and if BC and UCG move toward the objective soon.

The command radius is 2 hexes out from any leader ie UCG or B_C.
The German in I9 can't see you at all because of the embankment hexside between you.

You have 4 movement points remember and a free stance change, so you could move an extra hex and the crouch or fall prone if ya wanted.....

Then why was he able to take potshots at me from all the way out in hex G6? It's still across an embankment.

You were right next to that hexside. There's more space now so it's like you are back from the edge....

Staggerwing

Ah. Wish I could throw a grenade at L the Ratzi-patsie. Can I still see him and can he climb the embankment easily?

You can't see him but you can toss a grenade into a hex you can't see... just more chance of it landing wrong.
It costs him 1 extra MP to climb the embankment... not much.

Ssgt UCG runs back to the center of the hamlet to check on the other squaddies.
Meanwhile, at the church, B_C leans out of the door and points his Thompson at the sentry. Brrraaaapppp! The German goes down but Sgt. B_C can see that he's only wounded  in the leg.



Now we need Bob's orders.

Bob, there are 2 SS next to you. One is prone with a jammed MG, the other is standing with Luger in his hand. What do you do?

balls - i should have gone to bob and mirth and let BC cover the 'south'

'IM COOOOOOOMING BOB'


edit - that may not have sounded like i thought

if the Warlock thread is any indicator, I believe "sleeps in" is the answer
