yup lets go BC - bazooka ahoy!!

do we designate a hex for all of us or one each?

edit - obviously one each - let me look at map tonight in hotel, and come up with a cunning plan to figure who should land where

Yeah I need one hex for each soldier and one for the weapon canister.

Double Deuce

I'm thinking we put the canister close to the middle. We need to make sure it gets secured as soon as possible after we hit the ground.

However you choose to set us up, UCG, it won't matter generally, as we're going to randomly float down to earth and move around a lot. Putting the container in the middle, as DD suggested, is as good an idea as any as averages will hopefully keep it near our center of mass. However, this is one of the more ornery Ambush! missions since set up is so random.

I'm pretty sure that once we land, Barth does paragraph checks for the hexes we land in, so we might get creamed before we can even do anything.

Barthheart

I'm not that mean!  >:(  :D

Just a word on parachute drifting. You will start in a hex and the drift either NW or SW from that hex. Then you will drift either NW or SW from that hex and so on until you land.
If you look closely at the hexes you can start from you can see the approximate routes that each start location will send you....  :coolsmiley:

Hint: Church steeples and the river are BAD landing sites.  :crazy2:

Barthheart

ALL building are bad landing sites.... but so is landing in open ground in the middle of the hamlet... or in trees.... man you guys are in trouble....   :crazy2:

(Sigh) Star will have his chance in the next mission, unless we're incredibly lucky.

I say we go with the BAR and 5 clips and use the 2 additional WP on more grenades!

Question - can we pass ammo / grenades to other squad members?
