(Gulp!)

Um, i think your already on the "watch" list.

In fact, i think you "friended" some govt types the other day on your facebook page.

As for the question ... downwind? What where they thinking?

I dont have any facts to point to. But i thought Chemical gas weapons would influence a large area. Looking at the v2.2 RB it says 155mm chem weapons have a 35m burst area. Well, thats not so big.

Page 222 of the RB says the Burst radius (35m) is the width of the chemical it releases. THe length is 4 times its width (140m). The cloud starts at the impact point and stretches (you won't believe this) down wind.

Page 223 discuses in brief blood agent chem rounds, blister agents and nerve gas. I dont know what kind Vee-Eex might fit into.

I have to say the danger area is smaller than i thought it might be. With no real reason at hand, i'd double the numbers as a start. Your PCs are still outside this range so maybe they'd be OK after all.
