Anthony's Gunner fires all three RR's at Roger's left side. He needs a 4 to hit. Top hits on a 3 6 for 4 2 damage. Metal absorbs some and plastic takes damage as well. Front RR hits on a 6 2 for 6 1 damage. Metal absorbs some and is reduced by 1 - plastic takes damage too. Other front RR hits on a 2 2 for 6 4 damage. Again, metal absorbs and is reduced and plastic takes damage too.

Roger drops an obstacle and needs a 3 to keep control. Safe on a 5.

Hey fellas - had a GREAT couple of days in Nashville in our last minute "get out of Dodge" mission... Had a couple of songwriters invite us to swing by during a writing session Thursday night. Intended to say "hello" and get out of the way. Ended up staying and chatting with the two owners as well as Aria Summer (actress who's now songwriting) and then got invited to sit in on my friend's session. Three hours later and we had a song! Felt blessed to be allowed to stay and was THE MOST FUN co-writing session I've ever had!

BIG correction

I have two specific errors...

First, Jeff pointed out that his D1 left I had noted was for Phase 1 and that he had not submitted for Phase 3. I keep a text file with all the notes (future things people have turned in, as well as a FULL record of every die roll and result).

He also asked if Billy's Gunner was dead too, which made me look back at Billy's sheet. For some reason I skipped the Gunner when assigning damage to the inside. It was the GUNNER that was killed and the Driver is still alive!

That being said, I've taken the tire damage from Jeff, adjusted the internal damage to Billy and put Jeff where he is supposed to be.

Billy - look for a separate email with details on your internal damage... It was moot with your "driver only" dead, but that's not the case now. That also brings up another correction... Keeping the same rolls, you didn't spin out but instead rolled for a major fishtail. This is ignored as you were already skidding.

I've corrected the map to show Billy's proper placement as well as that of the Spikes.

Billy - if you Driver wants to have turned off the Spikes in phase 2, let me know.

So below is the corrected map. Please accept it and my apologies! Holding for Phase 3 combat from...

Randy
Anthony
Rene
Billy

(Jeff - thanks for pointing out the error!)

Corrected items - T3P3 - Billy skids 1/4" to complete the moderate skid. He slows by 10 to 25 and each tire takes 1 point of damage. He moves straight 3/4" to finish the phase. He will perform a trivial skid on his next movement.

Jeff makes a D3 drift right instead of the D1 bend left. He does NOT get close enough to have a chance to hit the spikes.

T3P1 - Combat correction

Jeff did in fact reply, but I had made an incorrect note. His gunner fired all three front RL's at Billy's right side. He needed a 5 to hit. First hit on a 3 5 for 3 6 damage. Second hit on a 6 2 for 5 3 damage. Right armor breached and damage went internal. The third hit on a 3 2 for 5 3 damage. This one took out the driver.

Billy's D2 hazard becomes a D5 instead. His Crash Table 2 roll becomes a 10 for a minor fishtail and roll again on Crash Table 1. This one is a 6 2 +2 = 10 for a spinout. Also an obstacle is dropped.

Still holding for Anthony to move or defer.
