Sneaky Spycraft: Period 5, Week 12
Aly was slightly tan and looking happy when the class arrived. "Hope you all had a good weekend," she said, glancing around. "Good job, all of you last week on the scenario. I'm impressed with some of your answers. Some of you were a bit more byzantine than others, and always remember that less things can go wrong with simplicity."
"So today we're going to be very simple. So simple that we're blowing things up - with improvised devices. It doesn't seem particularly sneaky at the outset, no, but trust me a well-placed explosion can solve many a problem. Some of you have worked with these materials before in my classes - don't worry about that, have fun and help those who haven't."
"The two explosives we're going to work with today are two improvised explosives. You don't always have access to military material and you definitely don't always need it. One of the most common explosives in this word - and also one of the easiest to make is anfo - fertiliser and fuel oil. It sounds simple, but it's an immensely powerful explosive. A ton or so in a the right place could blow up a cargo ship and the harbor it's sitting in - if you can get it into the cargo ship, of course. The other is less an explosive than a weapon. Molotov cocktails - half gasoline, and half motor oil - you've probably already heard of them if you're from this world. They're easy to make and can do a lot of damage especially against gasoline engines or wood structures."
"What the plan is today is to spend some time discussing tactics with these weapons. When would one of these particular types of explosive devices be useful? Then make the anfo into a bomb, put together a Molotov cocktail, and blow some stuff up."
[OOC:Please wait for the OCD is up. All links in this one go to Wiki so no worries about the Feds. More explanation in the OCD threads.
I'm sorry for the recycled class! I'm starting a new job this week (*flails*) and I totally blanked on the need for a class because I kinda suck. I don't have internets at work yet *CRIES* so Aly won't be around until 5ish EDT.]

Re: OOC
And my deep deep love of explosives thanks you so very much for this class.
