The Hexcrawl

Same initiative order. Sheepdog is up, but everyone may post their actions ahead of time.

1. Sheepdog
2. Cunningham
3. Reed
4. Enemies

Quick Reminders of the Situation:
* Firing at the moving Humvee includes a -1 modifier. (i.e. enemy B)
* Firing at someone in the wooded terrain includes a -1 modifier (i.e. enemies C & D)

Yes Enemy D! He couldn't' see him before because he was beyond 3 hexes of forest, but now he's very visible.

Yeah it still gets the -1 for the terrain.

I'll update Sheepdog's rounds spent to 4.

Cunningham's Agility is d10 and Ranged Combat is d6, so his base roll is more than one step apart. I don't see anything that explicitly prevents that combination. However, when applying modifiers, the dice pool needs to be balanced, so pluses would step up the d6 and negatives step down the d10. I'll poke around in the rules and let you know if I find anything, or if you see anything let me know.

That said, @ForeverDED, can you reroll your agility ranged combat roll using a d8? Enemy D is in a lightly wooded area, and targeting him includes -1 modifier. Sorry, I know that you already rolled a success.

@saevikas Grenades are confusing. - I'm trying to create some player aides to help simplify some of these combat mechanics.

1. Roll MOBILITY to land the grenade in the correct place. (Extra successes do not affect the damage)
2. Roll Blast Damage based on the characters location to the center of the explosion to determine if the target gets hit by the explosion (extra successes increase damage)
3. Roll 1d6 for Hit Location to see where the blast hits the target. (Only applies if the Blast Damage roll is successful)

Reed landed the grenade dead center on the target because of the successful MOBILITY roll. Since the target is at the center of the blast radius, you need to roll 2d8 for blast damage. No matter what happens the target will be knocked prone from the explosion and be forced to make a CUF roll. If you don't roll a success, he doesn't take damage. If you roll 1 success, he gets hit and takes the base damage for frag grenades which is 2. If you roll 2 successes, he'll take 3 damage.

Two additional notes:
I misspoke early about the need to apply a -1 modifier to terrain for grenades. Terrain modifiers don't apply to grenades because your targeting the hex not the person.

Frag Grenades aren't effective against armor, so the target will reduce the damage of the blast by 2 instead of 1 if he gets his in a place where he's wearing armor. In this case, it would be his torso and head.

@Harrigan I personally don't think it's tricky for Sheepdog to take cover behind the rocks and since it's only 2 hexes away he shouldn't need to roll.

No physical damage. However, Enemy C is currently suppressed. He takes 1 stress damage and loses his turn.

Ranged combat in the same hex has these modifiers: -1 for Pistols, Carbines, and SMGS. -2 for all other ranged weapons. I don't see any other modifiers he would include.

I'm assuming Sheepdog is in full cover and can't be targeted. He will need to use a fast action to go from full to partial cover if he shoots next turn.

The driver took his fast action to drive and a slow action to get behind the gun. His next turn will be fast action to shift the dead guy off the gun and then a slow action to fire. He won't be able to use a fast action to aim. If he becomes suppressed, he'll dive back into the armored Humvee.

Same initiative order. Sheepdog is up, but everyone may post their actions ahead of time.

1. Sheepdog
2. Cunningham
3. Reed
4. Enemies

I would play it out like this. Reed needs to get to him with his first fast action. Then point a gun at him at point blank range.

It would require a couple of rolls both which can be pushed. The target is 3 hexes away, so Reed needs a successful MOBILITY roll to make the extra distance in time. Then Reed needs to either make a successful PERSUASION roll or the target needs to fail his CUF again.

It’s not a bad plan. However, problems could obviously happen if he figures out the M249 is jammed or another combatant comes to help his comrade.

I’m definitely open to other ideas.

I like the opposed rolls. Reed’s persuasion vs the enemy’s CUF (1d8). We can apply modifiers to Reed’s action based on how close he is: +3 in same hex. +2 in an adjacent hex, +1 two hexes away.
