Sounds good to me. Anyway, it will be better if Isaint won't meet with a Drake face to face ;D

I will direct myself and Jackhammer into Crossfire Position (or at least try to do so)

+3 to attack is nothing to sneeze at (if I can get the successes - so please one Intuition + Small Unit Tactics Teamcheck from Jackhammer or at least an Intuition -1)

[spoiler=CROSSFIRE]
Successes required: 6
Description: This maneuver consists of placing two elements of the team into separate positions from which both can envelope a single target from two different directions. The team leader must first identify suitable locations for his people to take up firing positions (solo Small Group Tactics + Intuition Test, Simple Action). The second step is maneuvering the team members into those positions (normal Combat Maneuver Test). This can be done either before combat as part of an ambush, or during combat as a tactical maneuver.
Benefits: Attackers on the team receive a +3 attack bonus.[/spoiler]

Edit: Forgot to add the identify location roll: Small Unit Tactics: 15d6t5 2[15d6t5=1, 1, 3, 5, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 1, 2, 1, 4, 5, 1]

Small Unit Tactics (Crossfire): 15d6t5 5

Ah, you see what I mean? I need one more hit to succeed.

I believe Small Unit is Logic, not Intuition.
Also, Al has a point about it being pretty conspicuous. Jackhammer could exit the vehicle early, but there's no way he'd do that and trust Al to finish the job (sorry Al).
Besides that, if I were to roll 3 dice, I'd probably just...
Small Unit Tactics 3d6t5: 0 [3d6t5=2, 1, 4]
Critical glitch!

Nope, it's an Intuition skill.

[spoiler]
COMBAT MANEUVER TESTS
Combat Maneuver Tests are based on the standard
teamwork skill listed on p. 49, SR5. Before any combat
maneuvers are attempted, the team will have to designate
a leader to order and/or coordinate the maneuver.
The leader in this case will be the primary roller for the
test with the rest of the team contributing.
To perform a Combat Maneuver Test, the designated
leader needs to have the Small Unit Tactics Knowledge
skill. They roll a Small Unit Tactics + Intuition Test. Any
team members who also have the Small Unit Tactics skill
can join on a teamwork test (or they can default on the
test, making an Intuition – 1 Test), making a roll and applying
their hits per the teamwork tests rule. The team
leader may use their Leadership skill to direct one team
member per maneuver as described on p. 142, SR5).
Ordering a Combat Maneuver can be done by verbal
command, which is a Free Action.
[...]
If a team member rolls a glitch but the maneuver still
succeeds, only that team member is considered out of
position and suffers the penalty. A critical glitch by any
team member automatically causes the maneuver to
fail, and in this case it is bungled so badly that the penalties
last until the end of the current Combat Turn, not just
until the end of the Initiative Pass.

[/spoiler]

Oh boy. So that's -3 for the first round of combat for both of us. Seems like we invented the circular firing squad... ;D

Well if it's intuition that changes my roll. Just a sec.

The rest of the dice 4d6t5: 0 [4d6t5=3, 2, 1, 1]
Ha!

Nothing to be sorry about!
Heck, I'm not sure I'd trust Al either...

We all play our characters - that what makes it a great game!

Good luck on that intuition-based roll!

Also, you said you  would be up for the overwatch thing with Isaint OOC, just that it would take some convincing IC.

I might as well give Al's powers of persuasion a shot, just for fun. I can put something like that up in about an hour.

Totally up to you which way you go!

Ha!

Well, it's actually not a glitch, just a fail. You got no successes, but your ones didn't amount to half the dice rolled.

@CoP - well, theres my IC pitch.

Last line probably ruined everything everything else, but that's just Al, I'm afraid!

Dude - you could have at least told us whether the missle was targeting the NeoNets or us...

But I'm guessing the NeoNets. Hopefully one of the escort SUVs and not the limo!!!
