I think this might be one of those situations where pushing the die roll is worth the risk.The Hexcrawl

Reed begins dumping lead into the Humvee to shut down any enemy response once the other two make their shot.Oh, come on! Apparently Reed could miss the side of a barn with pounds of metal. Do you guys think I should push the roll?
T2K Referee
If you push, roll 1d10, 1d6. The heavy gunner bonus steps up the zero rank skill.
Also, you won’t reroll the 2 "1"s on the ammo dice which will cause your weapon to jam. That will take you a slow action and a successful heavy weapons check to clear next turn."

Couple of questions:Don't I roll d12 for Agility since I have the bipod?
And do "1"s work differently on ammo dice compared to the skill dice when pushed? I remember that Sheepdog's rifle had its durability degrade due to a push.

That's right! You use Agility with the bipod. Sorry about that.The roll looks good. I forgot about the bipod. Then the machine gunner +1 is negated by yhe -1 for a moving target.
The "1"s on the ammo dice reduce the reliability of the weapon and potentially jam it when you push.
[ +- ] PUSHING & RELIABILITY
If you push your roll, you must also re-roll all ammo dice not showing "1"
When pushing, each "1" on a base die or an ammo die will reduce the reliability rating of the weapon by 1. Any "1" rolled in the initial roll (before pushing) are also counted.
This means rolling more ammo dice will risk damaging your firearm – but only when you push the roll.
If your weapon breaks due to pushing, it does so after the current attack is resolved. Read more about damage to gear and repairs on page 91.
JAM: If you roll two or more "1"s on your base dice or ammo dice after pushing, your weapon jams immediately after resolving the attack, in addition to the reduced reliability. Until the jam is cleared, the weapon cannot be fired. Clearing a jam is a slow action and requires a skill roll for the weapon (i.e. RANGED COMBAT or HEAVY WEAPONS).

[ +- ] Reliability
Weapons, vehicles, and other gear can suffer damage just like people. Each piece of gear has a reliability rating, which works like a hit capacity. Damage from pushing rolls or outside force will reduce the reliability rating. When it reaches zero, the item is broken and can no longer be used. A typical piece of gear in good condition has a reliability rating of 5, but flimsy or badly built gear can start with a lower rating.

Didn't know about / remember the double 1 jaw. Yikes.OOC:
Agility d10, Ranged Combat d10. Sniper Aim with a bipod gives +2, so d10/d10 becomes d12/d12. Range is fine. Called Shot: Head or Torso, whichever is unarmored, means -2, so we're back to d10/d10... but Baker has *Sniper*, so +1 for a final chance of d12/d10. I think! Rolling that. No Ammo dice, as I now remember they cannot be used with the telescopic sights.Hit. That's Damage 3, which is also a crit unless there's armor involved.

Enemy A (The Gunner), takes 2 damage.Reed unleashes a burst of fire from the M249 at the passing Humvee, expelling 13 rounds before the weapon jams, revealing the wear and tear of continuous use during the journey.
OOC:
The M249 requires a successful HEAVY WEAPONS roll to clear the jam. It can’t be fired until that happens.The reliability of the M249 goes from 5 to 1. If it takes any more reliability damage it will no longer be usable.
Maintaining their composure, the enemies in the Humvee continue forward and execute a sudden spin. Two combatants quickly exit the vehicle, each heading in a different direction. Meanwhile, the gunner, armed with the Browning M2HB, focuses on Cunningham. Bullets erupt around the rocks where Cunningham is positioned, creating explosive impacts, but fortunately, none find their mark.

Important NotesEnemy C and Enemy D are currently out of line of sight. This also means that can't fire on you unless they move closer. (3 forest hexes blocks line of sight).
Edit: updated line of sight info because everyone is at different positions and elevations. We’ve been ruling that elevation allows you to see over forest and foliage.

Cunningham needs to make a successful CUF roll or become suppressed. That's a 1d8 for his CUF, and 1d8 for Unit Morale (He gets the Unit Morale roll because he can see Reed).

With the departure of overly helpful in-laws and moody teenage nephews, I can now give more attention to the game.Yes, same initiative order.
If you all prefer, I'm ok with everyone declaring their actions ahead of time for the round, and I can resolve them in initiative order. If someone does something that would obviously impact another's action, I would discuss with that person before resolving.
ORDER:
1. Sheepdog
2. Cunningham
3. Reed

However, if you miss the grenade will deviate 1d6 hexes in any direction, so it's possible that could work in your favor. Or land where you stand. I'm ok with allowing an automatic fail to force the grenade deviation.

Sheepdog curses when his round deflects off the gunner's helmet, but he follows the vehicle and the man through his scope so he can make a follow-up shot... which he does after moving the firing selector to 'full' before he pulls the trigger.
Hit. 4 damage to the torso. If 3 damage is dealt, that's a crit.
Edit: screwed up the location roll. Rerolling, d6 this time. Three rounds expended.
OOC:
Fast Action Aim to cancel the Quick Shot penalty, Slow Action to fire with RoF 1. Agility d10, Ranged Combat d10. Sniper +1, bipod adds nothing without sniper aim, but forgot Elevated Firing Position +1 last time. That should make for d12/d12, not calling a shot, adding 1d6 from ammo.Hit. 4 damage to the torso. If 3 damage is dealt, that's a crit.

Sheepdog fires off 2 rounds from his M21. They go through the flak jacket of the gunner puncturing his lung. He gasps for breath before collapsing incapacitated over the top of the Browning M2HB.
OOC:
3 damage dealt, critical hit! Punctured lung. Enemy B is incapacitated.Cunningham fires rounds at the driver, but unfortunately, none make impact.
OOC:
I rolled 1d6 ammo dice for Cunningham. 4 Rounds Fired.The driver of the Humvee floors it and begins barreling towards Sheepdog. There are no signs of slowing down, and it appears that the driver may attempt to ram Sheepdog with the Humvee.
The thug near Reed opens fire, bullets whizzing overhead as Reed quickly unjams his weapon. Luckily, he doesn't take any damage, as the rocks he's taking cover against block all the bullets.
OOC:
Reed didn't take his fast action last turn, so I think it's save to say he would have moved into more cover. I repositioned him slightly.OOC:
The enemy rolled a torso hit location where Cunningham is protected by the armor level 3 of the rocks due to partial cover.
