The island of Isla Ilha island, January, 2009.
The Beloved Elected Governor El Raul Minguel called an emergency meeting.
“Ladies and gentlemen we have a problem, the worst kind of problem, financial problem. It turns out, opening our economy to the world and investing in the property market wasn’t a great idea after all. I wouldn’t bore you with the details, the bottom line is we have to make budget cuts. I know we’re already strapped as it is but I have been working hard with the Secretary of Finanace and have come up with a way to pull us all out of this mess. We will be cutting budgets for Department of Land Reform, Department of Animal Control and Organic Agricultural Promotion Agency. The good news is by this time next year we should be able to restore funding to one of the three departments, which one it will be depends on your performance in the next twelve months. I ask you all to cooperate and help each other through these hard times. Thank you.”
As the meeting adjurned the three department head snatched cellphones from their personal secretaries, already dialed and said a variation of the same thing.
“Activate the team!!”
At the Department of Animal Control call center the dispatch on duty took the call from the red phone, spun around in his swivel chair and slid across the room. His elboy expertly broke the glass on a box similar to a fire alarm with the sign ‘STD DO NOT PUSH’. He slammed his fist into the button with a satisfied grin. The entire building flashed with red light, everyone stopped what they were doing but there was no siren.
All over the island pagers went off, several citizens suddenly dropped what they were doing and sprinted off like a crazy person.

Sounds like this will a fun one, can’t wait to reads more!
"I saw this in a cartoon once, but I'm pretty sure I can do it..."
The good news is, I’m already digging the background (except “former SF hygienist, what’s up with that???)
Very necessary, especially when operating in foreign countries that have not yet invented the toilet, purel, nor even Q-tips (the true measure of civilization). I mean, who will teach them how to properly clean their telephones so various bio-plagues are not spread. We all remember what happened to that one planet from the Hitchiker’s Guide To The Galaxy that shipped off all of their hair dressers and telephone cleaners. No one wants that again.
@DSG Usually the ideas I have aren’t as fun in practice but I can promise this will be silly.
I’m not worried, I am sure it’ll be a blast!
"I saw this in a cartoon once, but I'm pretty sure I can do it..."
Trying to settle on a rule to play this with.
The following takes place between 09:00 and 10:00 on the day of the Isla Ilha Island, 2007, Beloved Elected Governor Election.
Events occur in tiny scale.
3Some: Explain to me the wisdom of this plan again.
1Love: We go in, we kill the dogs. Minguel gets sad and pulls out of the race.
4Play: Witnesses?
1Love: They don’t matter as much as the dogs.Guarding the compound are 5 State Security Police, two on patrol around the perimeter and three hanging out. 2 in the center are armed with an SMG and an assault rifle, the others armed with pistols.
STD team armed with pistols only.
FiveCore (modified)
Team Odd flanked right and spots a guard, holding their fire until Team Even gets into position on the other side. But the dogs noticed the intruders and were barking like mad alerting the guards. Team Odd shot the guard and took him down.
1Love: “GO! GO! GO!”
Team Even rushed left, the SHTF moment, found am SS sentry. Alerted by the dogs and gunshot, he spotted Team Even but with Team Even shooting at him he missed.
With multiple gunshots going off the SS guards began taking cover.
Team Even kept shooting and 4Play managed to take down the sentry on the left.
4Play: “Sierra Down!”
Team Odd continued flanking right, peeking around the conner to see two guards taking cover. Taking both down easily (Rolled K1 and S6 for both, whats the chance of that?).
Team Odd was on a roll and rushed ahead for the last man (who still couldn’t pin point here they were) without waiting for Team Even (rolled K1 S1) taking the last guard down. The teams easily shot the dogs. Searching the houses and bodies they found the following.
Loot
7.62x51mm Ammo
7.62x54mm Ammo
M16
5.56x45mm Supressor
9x19mm PistolRewound and replayed the episode again.
War Story rulesTeam Odd tried to move stealthily around the right but the dogs noticed them right away and alerted the guards.
A guard came over to investigate and found Team Odd, took a few shots at them making them fall back.
Guards began converging on the STD, one guard was too eager and the animal control agents shot at him pinning him near a house (center of compound).
Regaining the initiative, Team Even shot at the guard on the right with a direct line of sight but 4Play was hit in the exchange. The two guards in the center burst through the tree line, trying to surprise the agents and got themselves shot to bits.
1Love tried to talk his people into getting their butts moving.
“Lets move it people! We got dogs to kill!”
3Some: “You go!!!”
2Sexy: “Yeah! After you.”A guard sneaked up on them while they were bickering, pinning them again. The Guard on their right reloaded and open fired again, aiming for Team Odd but the bullets hit 2Sexy and she went down.
With no one shooting at him the guard pinned by the house recovered.
The one on the left popped out to take his own shot but 1Love returned fire and he dropped dead.1Love saw their chance to break out, the odds were even.
1Love: “Come on! you wanna die here?”They tried to rush left but the guard in the compound were waiting and shot at them, pinning the STD agents again (I even rerolled and failed).
To their right flank the guard at them again and wounded 3Some.
The guard in the compound tried to flank to their left but a few shots his way and he hunkered back into cover.
1Love patched up 3Some and slapped him a few times, they were ready to move again. They rushed left, away form the only guy who managed to hit them.
Catching a break they shot at the guard blocking their path into the compound and killed him. They kept the momentum going and moved towards the dogs. 1Love took aim and his gun jammed.
The remaining guard realized they had moved and rushed after the agents, in his haste he stepped on a stray cat and alerted the agents to his position. 3Some peeked out but the guard quickly shot at him, making him duck back.
The guard rushed 3Some and met the butt of a pistol, they fell to the ground grappling. The injured agent couldn’t deal with the State Security dude and was expertly handcuffed to a rock.
The guard took aim at 1Love but the agent had cleared his weapon, turned around and shot the man center mass (and I didn’t even cheat). The dude’s special operations training paid off and not a scratch on him.
All was quiet, 1Love killed the dogs, checked his people, stabilized them. He checked the houses, he found some loot in one and a naked guy in the other.
1Love: “Who are you?”
Naked Dude: “Bond, James Bond.”
1Love: “The British secret agent?”
Bond: “I see you’ve done your research.”
1Love: “No, not really, you’ve been caught by so many people, even my unborn grand children knows who you are.”
“Now help me carry my people!”Loot
7.62x54mm Ammo
5.56x45mm Ammo
.45AP UMP SMG
.45ACP Ammo
.45ACP Supressor
9mm SupressorI have mixed feelings on how these played out. Modified FiveCore was too fast and too strick, no room for me to do my thing. War Story on the other hand was way long. I rolled very badly and it seems the only time someone got shot was when they failed something and got a negative consequence. I’m convinced it’s the bad dice roll though. Can’t say I have a preference for either at this point.
FiveCore (unmodified)
Last one I promise.
The dogs allerted the guards and everyone rushed for cover (rolled a 1 right off).
1Love easily took the sentry on the right down. While Team Even failed to take out the sentry to the left (starting to see a pattern here).
The lone guard in the center of the compound tried to shoot at Team Even but missed. Another guard came right to cover their flank.
Everyone shot at each other, 2Sexy was pinned. 4Play and the guard by the jeep traded bullets and they both got hit.
2Sexy managed to take down the sentry on the left while 3Some shifted to the center but was spotted my the guard in the compound’s center and scappered back to their rally point. The Guard followed him, cautiously taking cover where he saw 3Some.
The guard on the right came around the corner, took fire form 1Love and hid back behind the house.
2Sexy rushed to a house to the left and took fire from the guard in the center and ran back. 3Some heard the gunshot, peeked out, fired his gun and injured the guard.
The last guard moved to better cover behind the jeep. 1Love moved behind the building and peeked the corner. 3Some took the center and 2Sexy went left, going for the dogs. (Rolled another 1) 2Sexy kept going for the dogs, while 2Some stayed put. 1Love rushed the distracted guard but the guard roundhouse kicked him. Our ex-special forces guy got taken out.
2Sexy got a clear shot across the dog pen and took the shot killing the guard.

9mm SupressorA tad past brunch, tail end of January, 2009.
The STD team approaches its target area from the NE. 1LOVE had decided they would begin with an intel gathering mission on a compound belonging to the Organic Agricultural Promotion Agency (OAPA). 1LOVE would have approached from the SW where there were more cover but 4PLAY had the lead on this one because he was dressed for it, looking the part with his green boonie.
The compound is actually a renovated beach house. Two armed sentries patroled the perimeter. The plan was to get in and out without being noticed, swift, silent, and no violence like. There should be something they could plant a bug or two on, other than that the team was winging it, as usual.
They took a while to sneak close to the compound just in time for the sentries to circle around. Despite his green boonie, 4PLAY and 2SEXY in her flannel shirt were spotted right away. One of the sentries shouted and a third sentry came out of the compound. Just great!
The two sentries shot at 1LOVE and 2SEXY, but they only had pistols and didn’t do much apart from getting 2SEXY to dive for cover and got her flannel shirt dirty. 4PLAY was first to react, popping a few shots back towards the shooters. He didn’t do much either only having a pistol and the two sentries staggered behind the wall for cover. 2SEXY fumbled with her first aid kit and threw something. After a few bounce, it burst into a puff of smoke that quickly grew in size. The new sentry tried to circled around the smoke screen but despite having an SMG his shooting was ineffective
1LOVE got a fix on the shooter’s location and gave him a burst in return. Still a little shaky his burst was a little high than usual and hit the man in the face, climbing higher to hit a bee’s nest sending a swarm of bees to attack the corpse (I rolled double 6). 3SOME popped up to give the two sentries a burst of his own and kept them pinned. 4PLAY in a mood for heroics rushed the pinned sentries. Amazingly crossing the wide open area in a breeze and emptied his magazine. He didn’t hit anyone but one of the sentries went into fetal position and played dead.
The remaining sentry poked his hand around the corner and did the same. He hit 4PLAY with every shot and the dude in boonie crumpled in a pool of blood. 1LOVE ran for the other side of the building to flank the last guy and was surprised by a fourth gunman they didn’t see.
Both panicked, shooting widly, the new sentry missing everyshot but somehow 1LOVE landed every shot in the man’s head (another double 6). Those special forces hygiene training really came in handy. Hearing gunfire from where 1LOVE went, 2SEXY ran for the opposite corner. MOMMA DIDN’T RAISE NO FOOL! She caught the remaining sentry looking the other way. Pulling out a roll of bandages she went for the kill and tripped on the guy laying fetal on the ground. Turns out rolls of sterilized bandage didn’t make good weapons either. She ran back for cover and realized she should have used the bandage on 4PLAY. 3SOME went passed her, popping off shots as he did.
The last sentry backup behind another corner and poked his pistol around to replicate his earlier achivement, but he missed. 2SEXY use what was left in her IFAK to stabilize 4PLAY, but saline drops wasn’t enough to treat gunshot wounds eventhough she had used it on her hermit crabs before. 3SOME cotinued to pop a few rounds, chasing the sentry further back. 1LOVE poked his head around his corner and had the perfect shot at the back of the dude’s head.
1LOVE did a “Jack” and missed the perfect shot. The sentry was scared enough to imitated his friend, falling to a fetal position and played dead. 1Love would tell the rest of the team he meant to miss so they could interogate the guy later.
All sentries down the team went inside and seached for intel. There wasn’t any point in planting bugs and despite 1LOVE and 3SOME through search, they came up empty. 2SEXY tried her hand at field sergery on a human with 4PLAY. Using her IFAK pouch, one of 4PLAY’s shoelace and a shard of seashell, she managed to get bullets out of him.
They picked up an SMG, a carbine and two pistols. 1LOVE pocketed a pistol and took the spiffy carbine, handing his soviet bloc weapon indifferently to 2SEXY. 3SOME took the other pistol. When 4PLAY came to the team gave him the remaining SMG as a reward for his bravery plus a few scars to impress the girls.
but saline drops wasn’t enough to treat gunshot wounds eventhough she had used it on her hermit crabs
This just made me guffaw, at work! Now, there’s only 2 other people here now with everyone else at home, but I still got “the look”.
I’m glad 4Play made it, would have been tough to replace that name. Great stuff dude!
