[Mafia] Close Circle 2

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

A government train, eh? Sounds like a... Target. That'll get us killed by the government. Anyway, this'll be easy enough. Four it is.

Step one: Lindsey brings a substantial crew, arming them only with pistols and other easily concealed weapons. Large weapons are carried in a duffel bag by a couple crew members. Lindsey then has the crew dress up as teamsters and train company employees. Presumably a smart move to not arouse suspicion.

Step two: Lindsey sends some crew ahead disguised as construction workers (with a two way radio) to break up the tracks by an isolated stretch of road far ahead. Setting up a group of phone signal jammers outside to prevent calls out, the crew sweep into the train yard and take the employees hostage, stripping them so they won't run and locking them in an underground room. Then, Lindsey calls the train over the radio and says that the tracks are damaged up ahead, and that they'll have to unload here, then, being as persuasive as possible, tells them that the rail yard employees will help unload and transport the supplies. If the train doesn't believe them and doesn't stop, it'll derail anyway.

Step three: if the train stops, when the security gets off the train, Lindsey greets them in a friendly manner and, under a guise of taking them to the boss of the place, lures them into a shipping container in an isolated corner of the yard where a fake office has been set up. Lindsey then shuts and locks the door after telling the guards to wait while they go find the boss, and then out come the heavy guns, and the container is riddled with bullets. After going inside and killing any survivors, the crew is free to unload the train completely, getting every bit of gear... If the train goes and gets derailed by ignoring Lindsey however, then Lindsey radios ahead to the crew at the isolated derailment site near a road rarely driven on, and rushes their crew over there. Lindsey then pretends to be there to help, helping the survivors of the crash recover as much as they can (no sense in wasting labor) and then their crew pull out the guns and slaughter the injured and disoriented security.

Step four: whichever way it goes from there, the plan is the same. There shouldn't be a way for anyone to call in backup, but if it does come, driving the supplies into a heavily urbanized area should prevent pursuit, as the military will want to avoid friendly civilian casualties. Any pursuing helicopters can easily be shot down with the easy-to-use anti-helicopter shoulder mounted launchers likely in the supplies, as only helicopters would be able to follow.

1. Sadly for you, your influence doesn't really do much to bring people in to work for you. The most you can do is get a small group of people. And they're not exactly the most inconspicuous types there is, nor are they that skilled. But it's better than nothing. And the best you could do is dress them up in Halloween costumes that make them look like train employees. You tried, but an observant eye would know that they're obviously up to no good. (Rolled 2, plus 1+ for intelligence for a total of 3 points)

2. Though thankfully this part of the plan goes better. You find a couple who are in Halloween construction costumes and are more easily fooled by them for some reason. They gather the hostages and put them in the underground room and you manage to get the train to stop at the railyard. Now your crew can go on the attack. (Rolled 6 plus 1+ for your persuasiveness for a total of 7)

3. But things start to unravel again as they look at the not-so-convincing costumes your crew is wearing, and they become convinced everyone is up to no good, even you. This quickly escalates into a battle where the train people manage to hold their own against your people. A good amount of losses on both sides, even you give into the urge of killing some of them. But nevertheless, you do raid the train and manage to take some of the supplies of there. You think the battle could be a good of a distraction as any. (Rolled 5 and 1- for your violent tendencies for a total of 4)

4. And then you get into a chase with the military as you do wisely decide to go into the urban areas. The helicopters do follow you however, but you don't have any anti-aircraft weapons to use against them. But you do manage to go down the town aqueducts to hide out from the choppers. Eventually they give up pursuit on you and you bring back a not-so-bad amount of goodies for the hood. (Rolled 5 and 1+ for intelligence for a total of 6)
