lock and load.

Can I just attack as much as I want, so long as I have ammo?

I am attacking a sniper with my M249LMG. I rolled a… 9. I killed one sniper. No return fire, because he is dead. 4 snipers remain.

Attacking another sniper with my carbine. I rolled a… 4. One sniper has only 1 hp left. Return fire… 7. Ow. I’ll heal that.

Finishing him off with my revolver.
Automatic 1. Another sniper dead. 3 left.

Another sniper attack! With my carbine. I rolled a… 5. One more dead. 2 left.

Another sniper attack! With my carbine. I rolled a… 3. 2 hp left. Return fire… 9 OW!!!! I am dead, but I will get a second wind.

Finshing off that sniper… With my SMG. I rolled a… 2. Another dead. 1 left.

Last sniper… Attack with my SMG. 1. 4 health left.

Return fire… 9?!? SIGH. I’ll need a point from my latest proposal to heal any other soldies, since I am now dead.

Lock and load…

Finished sniper with a service revolver.

Nice job Wak.  I wasn’t expecting the snipers to be taken out first…but they did their job.  Remember you’re not out of the skirmish yet, any of the medics can heal you 2 each.

Yay! Medic!

I thought that I’d help theothers take out the rest quick, with no need to lose much health or ammo. Its my job.

Just takin’ the pot-shot rod?  tsk tsk.

Only real shot left…

The skirmish will end if all enemies are dead…

nope, it won’t.  Nothing says a skirmish without enemies is inactive.

“If an Enemy Combatant’s Health is at zero or below, that Enemy Combatant is dead. If all Enemy Combatants for a particular Skirmish are dead, then the Skirmish ceases to be active. “

oh okay, then nevermind ><  I misread that.

You gonna take anyone out, Amni? I only got 4 so far, so I’m one away from being done. Unless you aren’t taking any…

I has no guns!

Get one, general. Is that a comment about a lack of weapons?

not at all, but it wouldn’t do for me, the General, to engage in these practice exercises and risk damaging myself.

Lock and load. it’s time to take out the trash!
I’ll attack one of the 50 grunt robots with my gun, DICE10:6, so only 49 left! BOOOOOM

A quick question too, are we updating the skirmish values for our brave soldiers after the skirmish has been completed, because although the rule’s entitled Skirmishes Completed, the actual rule seems so imply doing it straight away.

And ignore that question, i didnt read the italic bit below :(

you should update values as you roll.

As for the rest, keep a count of how many bots you kill (posting each time as per the rule) but then make a final post denoting how many of what you kill, and what condition you left others in.

also, there are not 50 gruynt robots, only 10…well 9 now.

No need to use so much ammo to so little damage… why not use a different weapon?

I probably won’t be able to kill much else with 2 ammo, so…

Killed 4 snipers and allowed Rodlen to kill the last with only a service revolver.

yea, and remember that kills don’t get you anything; you’re better off working together.

Also note that I will heal people, but cannot until I myself get healed by someone. Amni could temporarily make himself medic, heal me, and then make the initial person who he made not medic medic again…

Also, there should be a limit on how often the medics should be changed. Whenever seems wrong.

But not killing in one means getting hurt…

I shot a scrub robot, got shot myself. So one of the 50 scrub robots has 1 health….. Finish him!!!

You sure can!

Sorry, but I’m still dead. I can finish him when I get healed, and use up the rest of my ammo.

Lock and load. Sorry, I physically wasn’t here until now. Healing Wak up 2 as my first action!

Yep hopefully someone will heal you soon… I’m also going to take the liberty of finishing that scrub robot off myself =).

make that 49 scrub robots left

(posted at same time as Devenger, who pretty psychically knew what to do)

Ok, I’ll finish up that bot, and then heal up dog when he attacks the next.

Killed that bot that dog hurt. I’ll wait to get the next one he hurts.

(The scrub bot with a revolver, then changed weapons back. I can do this in one move [changing back and forth without showing it] thanks to the secret ruleset.)

Rodlen, why the hell did you give me ammo?

I guess he wanted you to shoot somthing. Do it!

...where does it say you can even get rid of weapons?

No wasters.

Shoot at a Grunt with the M4 for 7 damage. No return-fire - it’s dead. 8 left?

Yeah.

Shoot at a Grunt with the M4 for 7 damage (max again!). No return-fire - it’s dead. 7 left?

I’ll finish the 1 health one off.

Got him with my last bullet in a revolver.

(I did one damage after Dev did 2.

Shoot at a Grunt with the M4 for 2 damage. I take 2 from return-fire. Grunt has 1 health remaining… I’ll finish it.

I alredy did.

Oh damnit Wak, you’ve broken everything. Can you not do finishing shots until I’ve finished resolving my shot?!

probably a good idea to wait to post it till they post it at the very least.

Sorry. I’ll heal you to make up for it.

I eliminate a grunt with a SMG burst.

Too kind… hmmm, this combat system is tiresome. I’d prefer only firing once per day, and specifying a number of shots or something (hint).

M4 a Grunt for 2 damage.

SR the Grunt for 1 damage to finish.

We need to prevent weapon switching mid-combat.

M4 a Grunt for 2 damage (again?!)

What are you doing to the GNDT, Dev?

SR the Grunt for 1 damage to finish.

apparently I’ve induced magical font enlargement, maybe it’s my copy-pasting…

Seriously, stop that. Why is that even happening?

I think that it might be your name… But I don’t know.

M4 a Grunt for 3 damage, it dies… I’ve lost count, sorry.

(I think it was the square brackets?)

What brackets?

SMG for 1 damage, take one damage, revolver kills scrub.

Scoreboard is current to this point.

Lock and load. Let us defenestrate robotic SOULS.

M4 Carbine on Grunt Robot. Rolled a three. Two grunts left.

M4 Carbine on Grunt Robot. Rolled a four. One grunt left.

M4 Carbine on Grunt Robot. Rolled a perfect four. All grunts are dead.

A perfect seven, I meant. Seven.

If we run out of comments, make a comment thread new.

Hey, yeah. This type of battle is likely to go waaaaaaaaay over our comment limit. I think we need to reduce combat significantly. . . .

One Scrub Robot is on 1 health, got it with my pistol

Bang, I finish it off with my revolver, and it doesn’t shoot back.

Psst Kevan, you didn’t join the skirmish yet. You gotta lock & load

OHMYOD A SKIRMISH!

Lock and load

I just took out a Scrub Robot.

Currently up to date

incidently if someone with a revolver wanted to, they could simply state that they killed 9 of them, drop their health by 9 and their ammo by 18.

Oh, right. Lock and load, and rolling another 1 to finish a different Scrubot off.

I kill 6 of them with a Service Revolver, not making the rolls as Amni suggests (I’ll always take 1 damage and use 2 ammo for each one I kill).

lock and load.

*kicks down a door*

I’m here to kick ass and chew bubble gum—and I’m all out of gum!

*pulls out SR SMG and shoots a robot in the face* FATALITY!

*shoots another robot, only to misfire and just graze it on the side and have the robot shoot him in the arm*

Merely a flesh wound!

*pulls out his SR and fires back after taking one in the arm*

Dodge this!

*continues this process to kill 10 more robots and put another at half health*

Yippie kay yay motherf*ckers!

*rolls to the side and grabs an ammo canister. Stands up and points his SMG at one of the robots*

Hasta la vista, baby

*starts blasting away at robots again*

THIS. IS. BLOGNOMIC!

*continues blasting away at robots, until all his ammo is spent. On the ground are the fresh remains of 21 scrub robots.*

The names Bond. Clucky Bond.

Amen. No way am I gonna participate in one of these tussles.

currently up to date; 2 scrub bots left, I agree with the cleaning up of the combat system, let’s finish this one up and propose a new method?

Uh, I think you’ll have to dig in to see this and any more posts. . . .
