With that last pre-battle order you hop off the car roof and get in the driver's seat. You rev up the engine a few times and drive a bit ahead of the main group while they're either getting in the pick-ups or taking positions on the truck-beds with the ammo and other supplies you'll need. Naturally you'll be leading from the front, although with the plan being to rapidly storm lightly defended settlements from multiple angles it shouldn't be too dangerous, God willing.
The group drives east and passes by the first landmark along the way, a memorial to the Japanese interment camps, and turn into a network of farm-roads that while poorly maintained do provide a measure of obscurement given some of the tall grasses that sprouted up in the untended fields with some of the recent rains. As the group moves up north towards the southern edge of Casa Blanca you mutter a quick prayer before crossing the path running west at the very edge of the settlement. You're officially in enemy territory.
The crusader sitting next to you scans the horizons with his rifle at the ready. The guys on the back are doing the same. So far, nobody is shooting at you, which is expected with how much area so few people have to cover, an advantage furthered by your timing.
You all continue further north and encounter no resistance until getting less than a kilometer out from the central part of the village.
"Hey, up on the water tower!" one of the crusaders shouts as he readies his rifle and takes a few shots out on the moving vehicle, probably more for suppression than anything else. You don't stop driving and continue up according to plan. With one of theirs getting shot at, the defenders are no doubt scrambling to put up some sort of resistance even if they don't know what's going on. The battle has now truly begun. The question is if you're feeling blessed today...
>Roll 2d20 to determine how the opening goes Also, if you guys have suggestions for handling combat mechanics or other 'crunch' then now's probably the best time for throwing those out there. During EftV I tried experimenting with some stuff like dice sizes and floated some ideas like per-thread rerolls. For now I'll try to keep things as was done prior with SBC, but I would like to keep that open.
>>6090866>Sworn to Valour & Star Wars: Interregnum, I presume. Plenty of others have come along too, but those are 'yuge.'yuge is definitely right, I'm honestly a bit intimidated with those (I had considered StV a while ago) from the number of threads/reading.
>>6090875These I don't recall (recent?) so I'll check them out.
>>6090923>I fear another Skeleton Garrison Mobile situationIf you recall the prior Local Event roll, it was quite a big number. Now technically it was a "to be revealed later" kind of thing, but it's highly, highly unlikely that anything particularly bad would happen. At least if I'm not egregiously lying! Oh and Warden/LCP stuff is definitely more Musella's mission.
