@EliasWindrider What Sniper Rifles are available to request?

I know you hacked up at least one from the previous encounter so there should still be two of them, take one of those.

As someone with absolutely no knowledge of the military, I have to ask: how are sniper teams normally set up in RL?

From what little I know, a single sniper (though there are sometimes more) typically has a spotter and someone else to watch their back. A single sniper is very vulnerable if spotted, especially if he doesn't realize he's been spotted.

There are/were snipers who operated solo, like Carlos Hathcock and Simo Hayha, but it was extremely dangerous and typically in the wilds, not urban combat. I'm not sure if anybody does that anymore though.

Can I confirm the stats?

You'll have to look back through the thread.

It was slow firing, and the laser sight adding a boost, had the scope that reduced the ed range, by had a custom grip... but if you go to Spanner he can drop what he's doing and adjust the grip to you in about 25 minutes.

Varying sizes of big, there are a whole mess of the I think AAT tanks, there's these

There's the hail fire droids for anti air

And there's artillery, though I don't know what they use for artillery.

The Custom Grip attachment will have to be "re-done"/replaced for any new user. This might slow down Ker'see's exit from the garrison.

Spanner can do it in 25 minutes as a rush job.

So you're including vehicles in "big guns." Good to know.

Is this shield the sort that incinerates unprotected organics, or the sort they can easily pass through?

Bumping in case you missed it.

Okay, I will head to spanner after I drop off my bow and collect the rifle.

Would it be possible remove the customer grip and replace it with a bipod?

With regard to potential distractions ... is this the part where OWK had his tea party with Loathsom?

Personally, I'm not wild with the idea of Mireska repeating that particular event ... among other reasons, she's not a good "face" character (at least, not for quite some XP). Aside from some tea-related distraction, the best that she could do is to drag out a discussion of medical treatment for POWs, etc. In short, Deception, Negotiation, Charm, and Coercion are not her strong suits.

What I am thinking of is offering Mireska's and Jorin's presence on the sabotage mission. Jedi would hopefully act as some sort of force multiplier (no pun intended) for the sabotage team. E.g., Reflect, Improved Reflect, Circle of Shelter, Guardian of the Republic, and plenty of strong Heal power applications (in Mireska's case).

Please let's not repeat that particular performance. I'm not keen on war crimes.

That makes sense given circumstances and was what I was expecting. Camo isn't a big fan of having Jedi tag along (for a variety of reasons), but I'm on board with it and it makes sense from a meta perspective.

I'm with you on that one. Due to my background, I'm particularly sensitive to violations of certain Vienna Conventions.

IC post in the works ... and done.

Should I make a roll to get to a location safely?

Sure that's the artillery.

I was also referring to the shield. Is it the kind organics can walk through without difficulty?

Yes, sort of.... walk through with difficulty.

@RuusMarev @P-47 Thunderbolt

By the way, I just noticed that your CW AU characters on SWSheets still have Wounds taken (Current Wounds) listed.

I assume that Jorin is at 0 Wounds (otherwise Mireska would have reacted!), but is Camouflage still suffering from any Wounds taken on his recent recon jaunt?
