Sean brushes off the dust and rubble from the ceiling.

And take the shots. It nails the man on the motel roof in the arm, probably blowing it off with brutal force. He observes the man falls behind the sign and seems to remain still. Did he pass out? Sean’s pretty sure anyone else in the motel would realise their man has been hit.

1. What is the distance from the buiding of ours to the motel's outer perimeter? What is the depth of all of the preimeters? What is the distance from the inner perimeter to the motel? Here Sean estimates how close it would be possible to approach the buildings without steping in contact with any barbed wire or such.
2. Any signs of mines outside of outer perimeter? I guess the mines themselves should not be visible, but if the place is frequented by the animals, maybe there is a ligher wire fence before main barbed wire to keep the animals out or maybe they have shot some animals as not to leave them on the minefield or maybe some animal went onto the minefield and there was an explosion the results of which have not been cleaned up? Or is the asphalt still mostly intact and visibly clear?
3. Other than that, it's mostly 75 yards of open ground / parking lot?
4. Looking from our side, is the observer on the right building or on the left building? Which building is larger? Does Sean see most of two buildings from his position or is one more or less behind the other? Does Sean see the ladder that the observer would take to get up there? Does Sean see the door closest to that ladder?
5. How is the whole setup illuminated?
6. What would be the size modifier to put a rocket inside the building, preferably near the center? I guess if a window would be boarded by visibly thin plywood, that could count nearly as "a hex" at +4, but if it's mostly covered by sandbags, it might be much less, including negative.

1) the building is 75 yards from the door to the motel’s fence. The motel itself is another 10 yards behind the fence.
2) the landmines are on the inside of the fence, but those are just the ones Sean sees.
3) yeah, open ground. The parking lot of the motel is within the fence.
4) right building, the one with the office. Right is larger. He sees both buildings, but only from the north. The area behind them is obscured. Sean does not see a ladder.
5) Sean sees little lighting on in the buildings right now. He thinks he can see a moving light off in the distance through tiny cracks, but he has no clear shot.
6) the called shot for a rocket into a building through a window would be -4, not taking attacking a hex into account.
