I joined for two games, Death Squad and Sandstorm, after a brief round of "Why is Thirith hotmiking?" I don't deny the hotmiking, though it's weird that it caused everyone to hear wild typing noises, since I wasn't touching the keyboard at the time.
Anyway, Death Squad. Pretty short mission, unfortunately, because our good plan was soon shot to bits by the enemy, as were we all. Croc got us holed away in a house overlooking the road that the convoy was going to come down, we waited for the frontmost vehicles to pass, and I got off a shot at a UAZ - but it seems there was an armoured vehicle at the rear that then opened up and showed us the colour of our insides. (A nice subtle mauve, I believe.) I survived longer than others, but after Croc headed off to confere with Satire (I believe) and I heard some shooting and dying noises from their direction, I got shot up a bit myself. As command radioed to say that the mission was lost and we should all return to camp, I started on my long crawl, bleeding out after 10m or so.
Sandstorm worked better, in that I made it to the end, we won, and the friendly I shot in the legs neither died nor did he even fall down, which is what I call a high pain threshold. As so often, I was very clear *that* we were being fired on and less clear *where* we were being fired on from, but while I didn't get all that many enemies (three, I believe, after which I ambled obliviously past a bad guy that was still alive but hampered by stupid AI) I think I healed a few comrades that had gone down. I also got sand in my eyes and will have to look into getting some snazzy sunglasses.
