But we're only three (Jakub doesn't count), so can't have a lookout for each group and do something.
Right, you're definitely taking a chance. I'm open to having Jakub as a lookout. He rolls d6/d6 for RECON.

Was there a way to mount the MG to our old Humvee?
You can transfer everything over from one to the other. Both Humvees have a frame that supports mounting.

Ok, so now it's Armor vs. Speed. I'm assuming that shows up in fuel economy.

OOC:
I figured it would take quite a big of doing to move the gun. If that's not the case, I suppose we could use the lighter humvee for better mpg. I've been presuming all along we'd keep the armored vehicle.

Which one has more gas, and do we have means to siphon?

OOC:
Tough choice. I think that the armored vehicle might be the better pick, since Tedic can probably use driving rolls to move faster if it's needed, while armor is something that can't be skilled into existence. The fuel economy is a big factor, but I think that we have a fair amount of fuel already, might need to calculate how far that can get us to our destination.

I think we should just take everything we can from the humvee besides the humvee itself, unless it'll be unwieldly to take along for some reason. Back window and fuel included.

Cool with either option here.

Then let's keep the armored humvee. As saevikas put it, "armor is something that can't be skilled into existence."

Do you have any ideas about what you're looking to receive in return for the Humvee?

Consumables: Water, ammo, gas, food. If that's not doable, water filtration kit or weapons. Intel.

It's gotta be a barter economy these days, so it's hard to put a price on things.

To add on to the possible wishlist, toolkit (repairing weapons, vehicles, making IEDs, etc), medkit for emergencies, radio(s), something to help with RECON rolls (since we make a lot of those), maybe even mercenaries who'll escort us to our destination.

Aye, weapon parts / repair kits, everything already mentioned. Priority, for me, to .308 an .50 cal ammo. And gas. :)

Having skillfully concealed the M2, the group climbs into their Humvees and heads toward the guard station for the vehicle inspection. During the return journey, Cunningham's keen eyes catch sight of a small cluster of farmhouses in the distance—three, to be precise. The structures exude an air of past equestrian activity, possibly serving as a venue for horse lessons before the war. The area is now encircled by barbed wire, fortified with sandbags, and secured by an electric cattle fence.

Does the group investigate or do they continue on to guard station?

Cunningham takes note of the farm and its fortifications. "Looks like someone of the same mindset as the gas station hermit. If things in town don't go well, maybe we come back here and see if they're willing to trade." He smirks. "Maybe they like bear meat."

"Yeah, I don't know what that hermit was on. Bear meat is great!"

Leaning out the window of the second humvee, Baker watches as the LT ponders the farmhouses for a moment, then moves on.

"No long now, kid," he says to Jakob.

Police Chief
The remainder of the journey to the guard station unfolds without incident. As expected, they welcome you and guide you to a garage where a team of mechanics promptly begins inspecting the Humvee. After a brief assessment, they relay their findings to their superiors. The chief of police, sporting a strong Polish accent, approaches you and remarks, "This is quite the find. Not many are willing to part with high-quality vehicles these days. We'd be happy to take it off your hands, but I must admit, I can't offer the full value of the vehicle. We're getting by here, but being a town of only 10,000 or so, our resources are limited. While we can provide you with water, other supplies are running low. With NATO no longer sending aid, we're doing our best to maintain order with what we have."

The police chief doesn't strike you as dishonest; rather, he views the Humvee as a valuable asset to enhance his police force. While he's not willing to go to great lengths to secure the transaction, he's making an effort to offer a fair deal. His demeanor suggests a genuine attempt to balance the exchange, though he appears preoccupied with his duties.
OOC:
The Humvee has a total capacity of 250 Encumbrance units.

In addition to the items, below they will fill up your Humvee with a full tank of gas and give you any intel they have. They can also provide someone to help train you in a specialty or skill for a shift if you have enough experience points.

All things considered, I'm thinking that it's a deal, but would like to hear from you guys. Maybe sweeten it by giving us a place to sleep for a shift to unload the fatigue.

OOC:
Sounds pretty good to me too. Can I also have them repair the Soviet uniforms without raising eyebrows?
Dec 23, 2023 7:20 am
OOC:
There's some risk in not moving on right away, but I like the deal and the idea of resting before we next hit the road. Kind of have to.

Also, fair to say we each get two reloads of our choice given there are six total? Would that include a belt of .50 for the HMG?

Yes

During the remainder of the morning, your group finalizes the particulars of the agreement. Afterwards, you're taken to a hotel named "Stare Czasy," where discussions with the owner, Jadwiga, unfold. Despite her skeptical gaze, she refrains from challenging the police's decision. Jadwiga guides you to a room, offering a space for your group to rest during the afternoon.

Day 5 - Afternoon - Clear Skies
OOC:
• I've added details of the Humvee to "Handout - General"
• If you don't agree with the turn of events from above, let me know and I can adjust it.
• I'll eventually need to know which reloads you've requested from your deal.
• Does anyone keep lookout during the afternoon shift while you rest in the old hotel? (Jakub will if no one else does.)
• Are there any details of the area that you are unsure of or would like more information about?
