G#1 fires at Candice and hits gun arm. She’s KD. Candice fires simultaneously and hits him in the chest for an out of the fight (OOF) result. I roll for her in the Recover from Knock Down Table and pass 0d6 ! She’s bleeding to death!

G#2 & G#3 fail the Man Down Check. They take the cohesion test, fail and have to Retire.

I send all the officers to help Sean.

We call for back up.

T3 (P1/G6)

Sirens are heard. Back up arrive next turn.

Andy moves in the back of the ganger but can’t fire: he has to ask her to surrender (Grunt Arrest Reaction Table, p.88). She turns and fires…

All fire simultaneously.

She misses with her MP.

Andy scores 3 hits with his shotgun (chest, gut, gun arm): OOF.

The gangers are now in combat mode (no more PEF movement).

Joe fires at the driver. One hit in the chest (impact-1 due to tactical Armor): KD

I roll for him in the Recover from Knock Down Table with 3d6 because the body part hit is armored: OOF!

Jack fires at the passenger. One hit in the chest (impact-1 due to tactical Armor): KD

I roll also for him in the Recover from Knock Down Table with 3d6 because the body part hit is armored: stun.

We try to suround the building.

Sean runs, his gun blazing at Joe (who doesn’t look in his direction) and… misses (despite his loops). Joe passes his Received Fire Test and returns fire. He hits Sean in the gut  (armored) for a KD result : stun.

Next time I'll remember to use Bonus Dice.

T5 (P2/G1)

Andy snakes in the back of Joe & Jack and fires, now, without warning! He hits each once:

- Joe in the chest KD and OOF.

- Jack in the chest OOF.

The shotgun is Andy's friend

As Vargo moves 12’’ he can move two rooms each round and goes to the living room.

T6 (P4/G1)

Officer Vincent takes shelter behind the car to cover the main entrance.

All the doors are covered : « come out hands up; you are surrounded ».

Vargo moves to the northern storage area if the HQ.

T7 (P6/G1)

Vargo exits the building, fast moving but Mike Tao fires first and misses… Vargo flees.
