I got really lucky I guess, and having Geroj with that Glock 22 was like having a hip shot wonder boy on the team
Even if I'm playing hardcore, I had to load once in the beginning when The Brock rounded that first corner and got such high adrenalin he was pretty useless. He got shot to pieces and almost died. But other than that it was smooth sailing, smoother than it usually is. And it's more fun playing this game carefully when you restrict yourself from loading, your tactics and planning becomes more important.
We have another skirmisher waiting to join the team, and we'll soon have the money to hire him. I'm going to go through the next session and add some banter, then I'm gonna start playing again, see if I can't get enough money to hire Kestrel.
