We still likely need somebody over there. If the deck gun misses any fire on the first turn, then we need somebody to extinguish and try to get the PoI out of there.
OK, how happy are people with this setup? I’d suggest @Kat/CAFS goes south or east to get to one of the three-fire clumps, and I’ll plan to clean up anything that DJCT’s deck gun leaves behind.

‘Good thinking’ there, sonny boy. I’m willing to try your plan, young fella.’
I’ll start east and work with COMaestro to put out the central fires.

That works. If things start going bad to the north, we can split up.

Happy with that, let me know when to start!
OK, here’s the final setup,@DJCT to play.
Ok I will fire the deck gun.
@RogerBW are you doing the rolling (or if not can you remind me how, you will notice I have not pulled a dice in the scurry pbf!)
@RogerBW asked for a die roll:
You put into your post the literal text
[roll d6] [roll d8]
but note that if you use the WYSIWYG editor it will silently insert backslashes before the square brackets, and it won’t work. The easiest way to fix this is to switch to the old editor: At the top left of the box where you type the reply, there’s a pair of icons: “M↓” and “A”; you need “M↓” to be in pale blue.
Since the dice need to be capped to fit into the active quadrant, you can roll them with a reduced range and the effect is the same. In this case we’re in the top left so it becomes
[roll d3] [roll d4]
which I will do now to finish this off:
d3: 3 d4: 4
(3, 4) will get you no extinguishes at all (it fully extinguishes the target square and any that are adjacent). So you can choose to reroll one or both dice. If you reroll one, you’re stuck with the new result, but may then choose to reroll the other.
@DJCT asked for a die roll:
I will reroll black d4: 2
(3, 2) will take out the two fires on row 3.
If you reroll red, 1 gets you nothing, 2 gets you the two fires at (2, 1) and (3, 2).
(And of course you have 2AP left for another deck gun, or to move the engine.)
Simulation: pale blue is what you currently extinguish, green is if you reroll red and get a 2.)
I recommend keeping what you got. If you roll a 1, you’ll get nothing.
Agreed, 2 fires is the maximum you’ll get anyway.
Yep keep what got. Then deck gun again I think
@DJCT asked for a die roll:
Red d3: 2
Black d4: 1
Happy with that I think

@RogerBW asked for a die roll:
OK, so the first one after reroll (3, 2) takes out (3, 1) and (3, 2); then (2, 1) takes (2, 1).
The Fire Rages d6: 6 d8: 1
Smoke in the SW corner.
@DJCT if you say where you’re planning to go next we can try to stay out of that quadrant.
@Lordof1 to play.

Looking a bit better!
Move into 6,3
Put the fire out 6,4.
Save 1AP
