So we played the second session of our MW3 game tonight. Wherein after being massively dropped on by Blakists, and all nearby settlements blown up with nuclear weapons, Our Heroes run to the hills, where they recruit a few conscripts for La Resistance: The back hills hick with half a machine shop, the random investment banker, the random doctor, and the random hillbillies with 4 kids, one of whom is their only ICE engine repairman.
So while half the PCs stay back to guard the fort and build stuff, the other two take off in the investment banker's Lamborghini aircar to scout out the main town in the area. As it turns out, they're spotted by Blakist air patrols, and a squad gets sent out to arrest them. Well, the one of them pretty much pulls a Terminator (we just saw T3 today, btw. It owns), whips out his mech-class multibarrel 50 cal MG and takes down most of the squad in a hail of bullets, while the other guy runs over another Blakist with the aircar (who lives, amazingly, and even fights for a round), then crashes it into a jeep and gets knocked out. And the other guy takes down the rest of the squad, takes a prisoner, and that's that. And I'm being like "Damn, that was good moving there."
Except they got greedy. Had their prisoner call in a Blakist medivac chopper to take it over, then called their own base to get their own chopper in to strip it. Well, the Wobbies intercepted the latter transmission. Sent another squad in a gunship. Squad lands, gets owned in a firefight with the party, then the choppers open up, killing half the party. Right as the PC chopper arrives, takes down one chopper, but gets shot down by the other. They try to shoot down the other one, but it kills them. End of session, end of characters.
So we'll see what they come up with. All I know is, no matter what, this shit is fun.
