Right. Shit. Lack of internet connection last night at update time has thrown me off completely. Please stand by while I attempt to fix this mess.

Right. My apologies for that. Internet was dead all of last night.

Since it's so far into the day, this turn will last to 12 GMT tomorrow. So that's 30 hours to decide what to do.

Quick summary of this turn. Rather uneventful, though nice to see people working to get Lady back in the fight. No more stunning this round, so everyone is in the game.

New weapons:

Autopistol
Smaller brother to the Autogun. Just because it's not as big, doesn't mean it doesn't hurt.

Rules updates still not forthcoming. I'm working on something, but I won't say what yet.

To address the queries on targeting and hitting specific locations... I'm going to stick with the current system. As Germ said, I don't want it to get any more needlessly complicated than it already is. >_<

And with those words of wisdom, let the battle for turn 5 begin.

No new weapons, no new rules, merely one request.

For the sake of avoiding giving me headaches, could people re-iterate ongoing things like their current level of cover and things like rested weapons / ongoing aiming bonuses. This makes my job a lot easier and means I don't have to take timeouts for headpains.

And without further ado... Turn 6.

Could you put down what cover each character is in during the update?

As the observant among you may have noticed, I have been rather crap at updating these last few days. For the next week or so, LMS is on a 'when I get the chance' update basis. I'll try and do it at least once every two days, but no promises.

Uni and illness are hitting me pretty hard. Of course they would, since I'm meeting friends I havn't seen for years.

Fuck you, life.

Rumors of my death in a fire were greatly exaggerated. However, I am now back, and will attempt to get this show running again.

Those who paid attention the this round's update will have noticed that a new player has entered the show. The threat will be revealed at the end of this round, so be ready.

So... For those of you who are still here... Let's start a horribly delayed round 7.

Hooray?

I dunno. Is it hooray? I wouldn't be surprised if everyone had given up on the game by this point.

Right. Another day, another update.

The face of the enemy revealed! The Eldar have turned up to try and claim this planet for themselves, and our intrepid heroes find themselves on the business end of a rather nasty rifle. Watch that one, guys.

I've started to add people's cover status to updates for easy reference, as requested.

New equipment this update:

Medi-pack
Mediiiiic! A useful little tool that increases your chances of succesfully treating an injury.

Gas Mask
Exactly what it says on the tin. This provides a bonus to checks to resist the effects of any airborne gasses you might encounter.

Laser Sight
This scope, which can be mounted on any weapon, increases your chances of making a placed shot. It only functions when the user is aiming though.

That's all the goodies for the humans this round. Of course, the alien warrior might be packing some interesting stuff, so why not kill him and loot his corpse? That is, if he doesn't get you first. I mean it. That rifle is nasty.
