    Well, I don't know if our zone is Outpost or Assault but here are our options (if those rolls are counted)

    OR

    For weather, a 6 means:

    So yay

    GM NOTE: I think I see what you did here. If you rolled only 1d6 ONCE for weather conditions, that gives you Daylight only (not Daylight + Clear + Calm). Looks like you need to roll x2 more 1d6 for Rain & Wind)

    can't tell for sure but I think you missed a step or two. this is what you should have rolled for:

    Mission Selection (1d6)
    • roll once as normal
    • roll a second time because you had a high Leadership roll for Lance Events (New Orders unlocked)
    • for both rolls, you may select either result as you mission
    Weather Conditions (1d6)
    • x3 rolls, one for each condition: light, rain, and wind
    • these rolls are rolled sequentially (light is always first, wind is always last)
    • at any point in time, you may reroll the last roll made (up to three times total).
    • the latest roll always takes precedent
    Examples:
    If you roll 3 for light and 6 for rain and wind, you cannot go back and reroll for light.
    If you roll 3 for light, you may reroll for it immediately. If the reroll gives you 1, you have to keep the 1 or reroll again.
    If you rerolled twice for light and once for rain (3 is total maximum number of rerolls), you have no more reroll chances left for wind and must take whatever you get.

    Also, the mission Zone you are in is an Outpost so look at that table (you guys haven't reached an Assault Zone yet). I recommend catching me on TS if there is any remaining confusion.

    UPDATE!: I think I see the issue. Check GM Note in previous post.

    Pretty sure there's just a tornado constantly following Gamma Lance.

    I may be jumping the gun here but since the turn is over what is our next step? Are we ready to do next round's rolls and then start repairs?

    Trying to figure out what Beta is doing. Either way, we will pick up Turn 04 after my exam on Tuesday.

    Hey Alpha -

    Regarding our current map situation, Delta's strengths are going to lie more in covering the open area to the NE than trying to cover Beta and Gamma coming out of the mountains. If I remember correctly your forces are more suited to nice hit and run tactics that would work well in the mountain grid north of us. Do you want to try to split and cover both sides? That may be the best way to keep the Martillo and Goretti forces out of our newly acquired firebase.

    Hiya Delta -

    I'm actually thinking along the same lines as yourself. If we can link up with Beta/Gamma, we can perform regard actions pretty easily. So long as we have a solid anchor to fall back too.

    Hola Alpha -

    I think that sounds great. We actually have 2 moves this turn so we can go 2 grids NE and engage there, or just 1 and see if they come to us. The only thing I worry about with moving 2 this turn is there's no guarantee we'll get 2 next turn to get back to base.

    While we haven't all discussed exactly what Gamma will be doing, I feel fairly safe in saying this is our current operating procedure until we can be fully repaired.
