XM8 sure looks good as a general porpouse light assault rifle/carbine. Of couse it lacks the power of the 7.62 round, but it looks like a nice easy-to-fire low recoil gun, as long as it is not used for long ranges and it is provided with full auto cappability to make good use of that low recoil.

You guys may wish to start thinking about a plan for what's next, or at least getting your characters to discuss what their next activities will be and start to deploying them.
A few guys doing construction and repairs, a few doing salvage, auto repairs, security, exploration of the complex below?

Ok, Willie has a scoped Garand now, so he is ready for battle.
Michael just found a landing spot, so I suppose we are going to help some people down there.
Manalowsky is still waiting for a new order but if he is ordered at ease he should start repairing the radio, perhaps someone could order him to do that too, or he could request permission for it.
Sheen has spotted a new possible target, should he start shooting already or do I wait for Mr. Handy to tell me what I am shooting at first?
Stompie:
I haven't noticed the sniper variant was .308. To have that variant in that caliber it is actually a good Idea, and I think this rifle could be the replacement the US military needs for the M16.
But will see how it behaves on the field. Good I hope.

The SF troops might also want to consider finishing up the defense of the Motel. At present two of the stairwells are barricaded, one is partially baricaded adn the other is open. Still this is pretty flimsy. It can slow down a zombie but it won't stop them for long.
The Motel was something of "the Alamo" but note that you cannot access the roof from the second floor unless you break open a hole through the ceiling and onto the roof- a bit of construction required for that. At present- the only way to get to the roof is from a ladder on the ground.
Should the Motel get hit by zombies like the T-Bone, than those on the second floor could be cut off and overrun. And when zombies overrun = feeding frenzy.

are u trying to give us a hint there welsh?
Also Alice needs a gun and no one is left in the box. Where can she get one

Finishing the barricading job is a good idea. Also note that the snipers on the roof will be unable to hit any targets that make it past them and the mines and onto the balcony, because the roof overhangs the balcony. Stephanie had the same problem in Chapter 1.
The ladder is secured by a rope that has one end tied around its top rung and another tied around the base of the satellite dish. It can be pulled up onto the roof if necessary. The balcony is less dangerous than being on the ground when zombies are attacking, but only the roof is truly secure. However, anyone up there could get trapped if the motel is overrun, unable to shoot at zombies on the balcony or inside the building. Making a hole would provide another way on or off the roof, but it will require time and tools.
@Gonzalez:
Malanowski is free to make any suggestions he likes to Lt. Malone. If he wants to convince her of something, he'll need to roll Persuade.
What Sheen and Cole see is actually the helicopter approaching, Now that Black has taken out the woman on the highway, there is nothing for Sheen to shoot at the moment. Don't worry, though, there will be plenty of things to shoot later.
@Steve:
There is one rifle left in the box: Charlie's Winchester M1894 carbine. This is in fact the same rifle Alice had been using on the roof, which she had given to Luke. Luke then placed it back in the box when he switched to the M-14. There are also more weapons down in the warehouse, and some that have fallen off the roof, though all of them will need cleaning. The weapons list has all the details.

okay I would like Alice to get that rifle. Can I move her now or do I have to wait for the next update. Also I would like to have McCain order a better defense by building the barricades and other millitary ideas. Since I do not have a military background can i have him roll military science or idea or again should
i wait? Please let me know
i wait? Please let me know
Alice can take the rifle and ammo now with no problem. McCain can also issue additional orders before the update, though people will have to wait until after the update to carry them out.
You do not need military experience to know how best to make the barricades. I came up with the barricade plan in Chapter 1 without making any rolls, which you are free to use. The idea was to barricade all staircases but the one nearest the ground floor door first, so that supplies (and the comm gear) could be moved upstairs. The barricades would be made of furniture from the ground floor rooms. The furniture in the upstairs rooms can be used for its intended purpose by anyone staying at the motel, and to reinforce the barricades if the zombies damage them. Once everything was upstairs, the final staircase would be barricaded and ropes (or better still, rope ladders) would be used to climb between the ground and the balcony. You should leave that one staircase unblocked until the comm gear is upstairs. It is important that it be moved as quickly as possible once it is shut down, so that Warren AFB isn't in the dark for long.
If you like, McCain may roll Military Science and Idea to come up with other thoughts about how best to defend the motel.
The update will probably be Friday or Saturday. I'm waiting a little longer to give Stardreams and Laraqua time to catch up and get started. Laraqua will need to choose another character instead of Alexandria Mikhalin, since Stardreams is playing her. Once that's done Welsh will send her the secrets and she can get going fairly quickly.

Suaside,
Sorry buddy I do not go that way
Personally though I want to see how far the keepers are willing to play Alice the wandering historian/whore out. Will they simply kill her off since she is being a whore and Mr. handy is starting to feel uncofortable playing a man kissing a man playing a female.

@Steve:
I'm not feeling uncomfortable, but maybe you should be. I don't think you're aware of what exactly Alice has just done, but David will be quick to point it out.
Alice can go as far as you're willing to take her, and I won't kill her off for that. If she makes a mistake or the dice turn against her, however, she's fair game.
@Stompie:
Welsh established it in Chapter 1, but I don't remember the exact model. I think it's some kind of Bell, and that's what I've been using for its sound effects.
