((Do we lose the Band of Brothers trait as this is a whole new set of clones?))
Gosh, good question. I did say it was unique and non-transferable. But, on the other hand, you all died together, so it'll carry over this time. Each time the whole squad dies together and respawns together it'll carry over, I guess.))
point man gets a ghillie suit and an improved sensor array. it's almost better than your normal eyes and ears. (anything you think should be included additional?)

((notice how even sergeants don't get names? all mine have been Oz00x. try not to get caught. The serge4ants don't like uppity subordinates.)) Organize a firing squad, you. Two privates and yourself.
you have a submachinegun in addition to the normal stuff. No regular gun. the sub is heavy. You also have one unit of armor. And some earplugs. the sub is loud. Even for firearms. It's like ,what? does the thing throw

Yo003,
Fish007, and Zr005 all die in pieces. Actually Fish007 is saved by his squadmate, zii004, who tackles him to the ground and takes the hit instead (zii004 dies). This was the result of the "protect my squadmates" action (rolls were 4 for protect, 1 for not dying)

get out there and kiiiiiiillllllll!Unit number: Bo004, Platoon 8
Inventory: Gun. military backpack. Gum. Helmet.
Status: Minor wound (nostrils, 5 turns)
I retrieve my maker hooks from my backpack, then I jump out of the fanboat onto the worm. If I succeed, I attempt to pry its ring-segments open using the maker hooks, which should allow me to ride it. I then adopt a pose.
(6) you climb on top of one of the worms, in true sci-fi fashion, and stand in one of the Ginyu force poses. Kinda mixing your franchises there, but oh well. now that you are up here, you can see the battlefield more clearly. And you notice something alarming - the worms seem to attract a lot of those very large bugs. you are getting attacked by very large bugs this round.

Health: Healthy
status: Healthy
inventory: gun, helmet, backpack, gum.
character points: none
character traits: nope
rank: Private
Take cover in the airboat and lay down SUPPRESSING FIRE. Preferably with the secondary goal of shooting something shaped like an enemy.
Disembark the airboat and shoot LAY DOWN SUPPRESSING FIRE at the sandworms while running.
(4) you fire 'suppressing' fire a the sandworms. One of the m turns away from you. Maybe because you hit it a dozen times right in the snout. I mean, they're pretty big, and dumb. and eyeless. They tend not to notice things like 'warning shots' or 'little men from the sky' a whole lot. But they are kinda hard to miss.
Rush at the worms with my gun blazing, and my gum chewing
who the snot are you? (5) anyway, you score some pretty good hits head on to one of the crazy worms. It slams the ground a few times and opens it's mouth wide. "Grenadier!"
squad Rak:Ha. Ha. Ha... Poor bastard. 'Sar'Rak001 goes into the fray, then. He totally was there, on one of the airboats. Sleeping. This should also give both platoons one corporal.
Platoon: 8
Designation: 'Sar'Rak001
Unit type: Heavy Grunt
Health: Healthy
Status: -
Inventory: Gun, Sword, Helmet, Armor, Backpack
Rank: Corporal
Get to the ground, organize a firing squad (Jag004, HC001) and blast the fuck out of the nearest worm!
(3) you ping the worm a couple times. It seems unfazed, thogh you make a small. smoking hole in it's side.
Unit Type: Grunt
Unit number: HC001 - platoon 8
Health: 1 Scar, Alive
Status: A - OK
Inventory: Gun. Backpack. Trident Berry Gum. Helmet.
Rank: private
Join 'Sar'Rak001's firing squad. Blast the fuck out of some worms.
Also, admire the fact that I actualy managed to hit a hornet with a standard grunt gun while moving at speed in an airboat.
(1) you aim at the same worm as Rak does, but your gun overheats. Also, you weren't moving that fast - or rather, the 'hornet' was keeping up, and did you notice the size of hte thing? could eat your head, man. more like pegging a watermelon at twenty paces than fancy precision shooting.
Unit number: Jag004 [platoon 8]
Name: Shut up you sod. No one asked. No one cares.
Inventory: gun, military backpack, Gum, 2 sidearms, big ass knife.
status: doin' fine
Character point:
endurance: suffocation
character class: tunnel rat.
rank private
Run around the worm while firing my normal gun.
((only other thing I could think of is a gas mask perhaps? But I'm not really sure that's relevant, since only some of them brought it due to it's bulk and restriction of their sight and hearing.))
(4) you peg the same worm as Rak does, putting a couple holes in it, and eliciting a weird sound from it as it turns away from you for a moment.
Platoon 8 death rollsyou guys get off light compared to the other platoon.
Bo004 and CW001 both get swarmed by giant insects. they bite a limb off from each of you. both get bleedout 0/3. Bo004 gets poisoned (tranq) 1/3
'Sar'Rak001 takes a serious wound when the worm he is shooting sweeps back at him and his squad, knocking him flying.
Ra01 (that's you, ragenaut) and HC001 each take a minor wound from cacti and such.
Instructions for next roundEveryone: 1) please note that the OP has been updated with the new character sheet and other information, including the classes unlocked. I have yet to put character points and achievements in there, as it is a lot of work. PM me your character points earned throughout the game and I will include them in the OP same with achievements.
2) for those of you who aren't, please copy the format that the majority is using to post your character. You can find the format in the OP under character sheet. this is how I know where you are, who you are, and what is happening to you. otherwise, I lose track. And if I lose track, you die.
3)uh ... shoot, it'll come to me. there was another thing.
4) might be a good idea to start putting your sheet in spoilers. things are getting crowded in the turns.
5) I'm going to start posting the turns in two parts, one post per platoon. Please
Do not post between my turn posts. wait until the second post before making your actions fro the next round.
Platoon 6: a couple of you have identified a relatively safe passage to the wall. best to follow them. Either way, you now all know where the enemy is. they have those guns on the wall that you need to destroy.
climbing the canyon is an option. Corporal ynk004 discovered that as a possible route, but not for himself and his great big gun. Well done, corporal Heavy.
Platoon 8:Get them to open their mouths so you can throw grenades in, or follow Bo004 onto their backs via your Maker hooks, and pull a Starship troopers, shooting big-ass holes in their ... parts, then dropping some thing destructive inside. Or, you know, improvise.
