Title: PR-The Roles Post by: Chalice on 18/03/2009, 04:40 PM Thought i'd give an overview of the roles...so you lads know what job you'll have-
Rifleman x 2 In this role you act as a semi forward scout and will usually be in the thick of it alot...so wont be boring at all...you'll be paired up with a Buddy and your job is to locate the enemy, engage him in order to kill, supress or force him to retreat or retreat yourself, whilst the Fireteam with the MG bring their guns to bear in order to keep the enemy pinned/dead...at which point you as the rifleman will assualt or supress the enemy with nades and rifles in order to elimate the threat whilst the flanking squad attempt to flank the enemies position. You will be the first to move as your squad performs fire and movement and it is your job to provide accurate feedback to the SL. In a defensive capacity this role will also be placed on strategic roof tops in order to best utilize its scoped weapon to engage targets at long range and to provide ammunition to the MG as required. The Rifleman may also be called upon to use RPG's and the grenadier kits so familiarization with these is essential. Machine Gunner - Fireteam This role is to lay a billion rounds down range in order to kill/supress the enemy to allow for the riflemen to retreat/engage...the MG Fireteam will stay around 20m (depending on terrain) behind the riflemen and will be responsible for covering fire as they move up/fall back or to supress the enemy assualt. In a defensive capacity the MG will also be placed in strategic choke points and WILL be engaging full squads at a time and mowing them the fuck down. In a defensive capacity it may be required to swap kits if the medic goes down for a short term...officer will pick up medic depending on situation as having the MG operational is vital...either way it will be short term only. If the MG goes down it is the number 1 priority of the medic to get back up as it is the squads "BIG BESSY" Medic - Fireteam The medic role is obvious BUT it is expected to engage, kill, supress the enemy as part of the fireteam and will also be placed in choke points in order to ambush enemy squads. This role will see alot of action and will not be babied so be prepared to shoot shit. If the medic goes down the officer/MG depending on situation will swap kits so players need to be able to competently use MG and scoped rifles as well. I cant stress it enough do not think this role will just be running around reviving and healing...we have 5 guns in a squad and we'd be silly if we didn't use them all. Officer - Fireteam This role will be responsible for baking cookies and providing coffee as required and will be a part of the Fireteam. This is just a generalization of the roles and will be fairly fluid once the shit hits the fan |
