Meet the losers, let's solo scout.

"which way bullets go in?" Squad ID: 54847 Car 1 "Vicious Guppy" Vehicle ID: 361205 Mercenary Front MMG/HMG 3.2L engine F 23 R 12 LE 20 RI 20 T9 B8 1 HMG reload(hope to loot more) Driver/Scout  Scottie Routt  Character ID: 1024639 Str 55 Dex 41 Spd 74 Drv 5 Sct 26 Gunner 1  Ricky King  Character ID: 1019266 Str 28 Dex 64 Speed 56  Gunnery 4 Lgunnery 0 Ballistic 9 Handgunnery 31 Gunner 2  Wayne Garza Character ID: 1006442 Str 69 Dex 56 Speed 67 Gunnery 6 LGunnery 7 Ballistic 7 Handgunnery 49 Car 2 "Thalia" Vehicle ID: 401960 Mercenary Front MMG/HMG 3.2L engine F 23 R 12 LE 20 RI 20 T9 B8 1 HMG reload(hope to loot more) Driver/Scout  Drew Driver  Character ID: 1019267 Str 48 Dex 65 Spd 41 Drv 30 Sct 5 Gunner 1  Max Power  Character ID: 976727 Str 35 Dex 63 Speed 59 Gunnery 17 LGunnery 0 Ballistic 13 Handgunning 32 Gunner 2  Steve Lanza  Character ID: 795914 Str 39 Dex 72 Speed 105(!) Gunnery 7 LGunnery 4 Ballistic 0 Handgunning 36 Total CR: 254 Primary Target: Preferably fight NPC Traders Always Seek ENemies from Faction: Raiders Scout maxiumum miles from town: 25 Scout Direction:  Consortium Spa and Golf Club(other options for Northern Farm Lands map, just ask around) UNCHECK  Accept truces from all NPC traders UNCHECK  Accept truces from all members of friendly factions S475158 (this is the recording number, you can play it back and watch the fight if interested) which way bullets go in? -vs- Colt 45 Crew Northern Farmlands Squad Vs. NPC Gang This is a bad result.  You always want traders.  You won't always get them.  You want traders because some of their CR will be wasted on the trader cargo vehicles, making the fight more in your favor.  The enemy spawned one voyager(Eliminator) and one symphony(Evan enforcer).  They spawned in ambush, and that is great because they are split up.  I can engage them with my four guns to their two guns individually, picking off one then the other. Comments follow the screenshots: If they had been traders they would always spawn "in front" of you, further down the road.  In this example they would have been in the black circle area. Ok I've turned my cars around and came up with a plan.  Plans are good, but remain flexible in case the situation changes.  I'm going to go back down the road towards the Eliminator (at the top) because I suspect he's going to come down the road at me and the  Evan Enforcer (off screen to the right) is going to come at me cross country.  Engaging the Eliminator down the road will give me lots of sustained targeting (+Accuracy bonus) and sustained fire (+More accuracy bonus).  My cruddy gunners need any bonus they can get!  I'm taking my four guns against his two, giving me a huge advantage.  Even if I miss, the act of shooting at him will help stress him out and make him miss me.  Gotta keep an eye on my six though! I've slowed with Thalia to let Vicious Guppy catch up and bring all four guns to bear at the same time.  Never let the enemy use your own cars to screen your fire. Here comes that Evan Enforcer!  Thankfully he muffs the turn and takes it with too much speed costing him some time getting to me. I start to open up his left armor pretty good... ...and punch through.  Now I have one car that can stay on that hurt side (Vicious Guppy) and one out of position to keep engaging.  As the Eliminator is already breached, I split forces here and let the Guppy finish demoing the Eliminator and have Thalia circle right to deal with the guy coming up on my six. My plan is working well, we keep giving them hell. Thalia immediately engages the Even Enforcer, even though I have no hope of hitting I am building sustained targeting and fire bonuses.  Guppy demos the Eliminator.  It is still a threat, but I decide to risk it and put all four guns on the Evan Enforcer to try and demo it as fast as I can.  Vicious Guppy has taken some hits from the eliminator and is getting stressed out, indicated by the yellow circle. By firing on and hitting the EE, I have gotten my guys unstressed.  I keep pouring the fire on. Good guys win! I strip both cars and loot neither.  Only loot cars on returns until you get good specced gangers and have a 50+ scout.  It wound up being a good thing to, I would have probably lost them because i DID get a return. Return:  Check both boxes and cross your fingers. CHECK Accept truces from all NPC traders CHECK Accept truces from all members of friendly factions Scouting with a 50+ scout will reduce the chance of a return.  As I had a crappy scout, I got a return.  Northern Mutant Alliance.  I set up as close as possible to town, offered a truce that they declined and ran like hell.  They brought a wurzel and a pickup. S475165 which way bullets go in? -vs- Northern Mutant Alliance Gates of Somerset Squad Vs. NPC Gang Could I have stayed and won? probably.  but I'd have taken a good bit of damage and risked my gangers.  I only had one HMG reload and the wurzel packs ballistic weapons that are tough to deal with.  Another good option is to get inside the gates then turn and fight.  If it goes badly you can escape into town. That is all.  Switch to your next waiting squad of two cars and repeat.  If you're lucky you'll get some gates encounters and loot some cars, if not you'll get training and not lose your guys. Feel free to PM me any questions.  If they're good and I think of it I"ll add them here. ......................... marshal vet wv pvp5 pvp4 combat1 pvp3 zom community Posted Jul 11, 2012, 2:37 am Last edited Jul 11, 2012, 2:44 am by *Tango*
