Wed T2K 4E:
Heliflopter fixed; escaped Poland. Barely.
They split the party... Part A went north, seeking out wrecs to strip. Part B went south, same goal.
Part C stayed at the helicopter.
A had radioactive fallout from being downwind of a tac-nuc. (Out of LOS due to terrain, but in the fallout.) Eli got radiation sickness...
B had a run in with an ambush... BTR70 + 3 × PCs troops... I used 2× PC's + ½×NPCs... and missed every shot. Both the HMGs broke. They managed to suppress most of the NPCs ... it was a Soviet Army Herofest... Many Soviet Heros that day...
Part C found some walkie talkies and a still sealed cup-of-noodles... (the things you find on the scrounging tables...)
They managed to get the sky King pieced into barely flyable shape... just before a random encounter resulted in a bunch of tanks rolling their way... they got hit, a PC died from an AP round from a 125mm tank cannon... as did severa NPCs... I took mercy upon them and let them roll to hold it together in the autorotation ... and they did... and they autorotated down to a safe not-quite-a-crash, got it fixed enough to fly, barely, and then they flew like demons to Ramstein AFB... and a ticket home on day 14 after last orders...
Campaign end by party agreement.
Net casualties of 6 PCs: 1 dead, 3 missing a limb each.
The Survivors:
- Lt Bernard LaRousse MD USN-MC - missing an arm at the shoulder
- 2Lt Eli Jensen USMC (Infantry), unmaimed.
- Capitan Helen Pascal, AdT SigInt. Missing an arm
- PFC Diega Diego, USMC. Missing a leg.
- CPL Jackie, USAR Inf.
- Cpt Amilé Dupan, USMC Intel. Arm blown off by a 125mm off a T80... while in an in-flight helicopter.
The chopper was in barely flyable shape...
They also managed to get 20-some NPCs out. A Sea King can carry 26 troops, so they were a bit overloaded space wise, but well under Max Tskr-Off weight limit. They abandoned all their loot, too... save the spares in case of needing repairs.
4 months of play, covering 14 days... and most of day 14 spent on a cargo plane heading for a badly fractured "Home"...
(Capitan Pascal is presumed to have gotten home via other means)
