| Example of play: Dravin sees the ugly Kobold taking cover behind a rock just out of site of Kyden. Dravin yells. "Kyden, (Ally that will do the shooting) Fire for effect, (Meaning not targeted on specific creature), Eyes on, (I see location so take range from my current position) 15 feet at 12 O'clock, (15 feet strait in front of me) Area 1, (use area effect target is only one space away from target area) Danger close, (I am within 15 feet don't blast me) On my command, (get ready) FIRE! (um yeah fire and stuff.) MAKING THE CALL Executing ID Warning Order Target Location Target Description Method of Engagement Method of Fire & Control WARNING ORDER Adjust Fire Fire for Effect Supression Immediate Suppression Immediate Smoke Focus Fire TARGET LOCATION Grid Direction (OT) Polar Plot Observer’s Location, Direction (OT) and Range Shift from a Known Point TARGET DESCRIPTION Something Brief Area, Target, Item METHOD OF ENGAGEMENT distance from friendly troops DANGER CLOSE if friendlies less than 15 feet METHOD OF FIRE AT MY COMMAND FIRE |

| Gotta love military lingo. I know I do, now if only we could emote the hand signals that Krieg is fond of. Thought I guess I could find a SWAT guide that illustrates them....nah to lazy. |

| I like this idea. I think it's going to be entertaining. However, I do not understand most of the provided lexicon. For example, "Immediate Smoke." Do the guys in caps mean some kind of category? Or is that how you preface a more specific directive? Army hand signals? Tits. Do it. Also, just out of curiosity, what did you do in the military? I'm not even sure what branch you belonged to. I'm guessing it might have had something to do with artillery.  |

| I like this idea too, seems fun. At least it will definitely fit in with what I am hoping for battle which is battle dictated through our pc's yelling/talking rather than us in real life making the suggestions. I want you (krieg or Dravin) to make tokens for all of the army hand signals and throw them out there at the appropriate times, haha. that would be great. Yeah Jon, not to get too real here... but what did you do in the military? Also, I don't want to sound like a queer or nothin' but I'd really like to see a real picture of you? (Come on orgasmo reference!) I know everyone else here, might be interesting to put a face to the voice. |

| Well I was in the military for 11 years total. 7 years of that I was a Medic for a field artillery battalion and the last 4 years I was the communications specialist (computer/radio geek) for an attack helicopter support regiment. (We were the ones that had to secure landing sites and fix the choppers etc.) As for Pictures I will email one to you guys since I can't seem to attach one on here without it being hosted somewhere. You can view an army picture of me if you go HERE yeah that is me under all the sand and equipment. I will send one that you can actually see what I look like to your emails later. |

Um. Is it just me, or does that link point to a newspaper story that involves President Bush dropping nukes on Iraq? I mean, I don't really follow the news or anything, but I figured that something like that might have filtered down by now. |

| Notice that the URL includes the word "fake". I was momentarily freaked out too. Aside from all that, badass pic, bro. |
