Quick question: can I still see the guy I dropped the stunbolt on?  If yes, I'll do it again, otherwise I'll duck behind a car and look for another target I can see.

Same principle :) Unless they're running on stealth mode, then you'd have to work a bit harder to find it ;)

Okay, let me step in and offer some advice.

1) You can search out individual PANs, but in general, these are like fireflies, or maybe ants, in the matrix, so they are usually are beneath your normal notice.

2) You can definitely go after one of the goons' PAN, but it is a risk/reward thing. or probably more of a effort/result thing.  There will not be a huge combat advantage to doing so in most cases.  Maybe you can shut down a gun for a second, or snarl up his cyberware, but that is after passes of breaking in and issuing commands, and that is ONE GUY.  If they have a combat net of some kind, (not likely) you would have to go after that spider again.  You could go after their comms, but right now they are shouting at each other and you can't do much about that.

3) Snow is a jack-of-all-trades with some good hacking gear, when the lead starts flying in a fight she should be shooting back, not fooling around to limited effect in Hot Sim.

4)  ;D ;D ;D   STOP TAKING ORDERS FOR WHAT TO DO IN THE MATRIX FROM A TEAM OF PEOPLE WHO YOU WERE TOLD BY FIONN WERE BARELY ABLE TO WORK THEIR COMMLINKS!   ;D ;D ;D

Yes, you can, be sure to add the running mod to your spellcasting if you are move more than walking distance.  Also, because this matter to Sammy and Torley, you guys, because of the angle, can use the chainlink fence for cover from the side door attackers.

Thank you for the good advice.  I will delete that post and wait for my turn.  I already have the gun out to support Clem.

I'm not going to do more than my walking distance, as I don't have to.  Just move to a spot with a bit more cover to blast away.  If I can see them from here, I don't see a need to come much closer.  In combat Sammy has one rule: if you can see it, you can hit it.  If you can hit it, you can kill it (or stun, as the case might be)  :)

Judging by the initiative table, Snow follows Sammy since Sam does not have a second IP.  My judgement of the distance is that Snow cannot  walk there and shoot so she wil be ready for the next turn since this is her last IP.  ISshe able to use her image link to see what Clem is seeing?

You can move the distance easily enough, but if you want to take advantage of cover remember you have a modifier of -2 to deal with when you shoot.

Okay, O'Connor abort his 3rd pass to dodge so we have four things left in the round.

Sammy's defense of the bullets.

Snow, if she is going to, shooting someone in the front.

Clem's third pass
then O'Connor "going offensive" in his fourth pass.

Did I miss anything?

OK.  I thought the distance was greater.  Snow will take the shot as she gets to the edge of the roof.

Shoot: 9d6t5 5

Not too bad.

No, not too bad, but you didn't do the shoot from cover modifier so you basically just stood up on the roof to get that shot.  Also, you are firing a Predator right?  Semi-Auto, you get two shots per pass, just like the goons.

OK.  Took a second shot.  Pretty good this time as well.  I am on vacation and do not have access to my books, so I am not familiar with the gun's damage.  Hopefully these shots have made an impact.
