| Richard Fields | rebelfish resurgent II | The Wilderness | 2017-01-15 | Jury-rigger and Salvager, killed on 15JAN17, in same battle as James `Joe J` Simpson for some reason unmentioned.
James `Joe J` Simpson- Recruited 17Jan12- This ganger was a rock. Always cool under fire, on 7Feb12, he`d emerge from his destroyed rebelRunner to plink 20 rounds into the Desert Hyenas` 4 active vehicles before retiring.
Through his actions and the tactical driving of Shirley Knowles in the squad`s last remaining vehicle, LongboreSedan2, the Rats would be turned back after near-totalling the rebel heavy apache and pheonix and leaving squad leader Cecil Dennis and Adam Block unconcious in their vehicle. Somehow through determination and a whole lot of luck, all gangers would return to SS, minus one expensive hvy rifle.
Returning to active adventuring in 2017 after a four year hiatus, Simpkins would again lend his resolve and now advanced weapon skills- double sniper and heavy weaponx1- to the reconstituted squad before meeting his demise to Colt 45 in a Sommerville scout encounter. Forced into a grinder with six Colts without the benefit of the HeavyWeaponComp2 stuck on a peak, Simpkins would die trapped in the LongboreSedan2, unable to escape Bolts firing from multiple directions and unable to bring significant return fire to bear. rebelfishResurgent would again carry the day, demoralizing 3 Colt vehicles and forcing the remainder to flee, but not before the loss of Joe J and brilliant support mechanic, Richard Fields. |
