[Tiruin]

After having spoken to the prisoners at length and having returned to her fellows at the front, Nora goes and follows the car driver's words and goes up to him to do the deed. She also asks one of the 'prisoners' their opinion of the war.

[Caellath]

Turn 6: Slow awakening

Take that .30 cal off the jeep, and gather the ammo belt. Once the .30 cal is off the jeep bring it back, give it and the ammo to Heinkel.

Take the machine gun from the jeep and set it up hidden on high ground overlooking the clearing the jeep is in. Try to find a way to comfortably fire it without a tripod.

Grab a Colt M1911 Pistol and 2 .45 Magazines.

Cooperate with whatever the plan was, and keep being a sensor array as before.

>Stand around, keeping eyes and ears open for signs of the enemy.
Be ready to follow orders (unless they're from Nora) and/or just follow the more experienced folks onwards.

Nora goes and follows the car driver's words and goes up to him to do the deed. She also asks one of the 'prisoners' their opinion of the war.

Reiner manages to easily but carefully detach the machine gun from its mounted position due to his tools and knowledge and gives it to Heinkel, who is just arriving as he finishes the job. He looks around and sees the only high ground available nearby are mounds of earth and small hills. (2) After some thinking, his mind is still blank as to what could replace the tripod or alleviate its absence. Wolfgang, on his part, takes his share from the weapons relieved from the prisoners, taking a Colt 1911 pistol and re-loading the .45 ACP seven-bullet box magazine into it before taking a spare just in case.

Thomas and Nora follow the driver's orders and head back to the armored car, getting inside only to take the anti-vehicle mines and some wire. The female panzergrenadier takes the moment to ask one of the tied prisoners his opinion on the war. (4) "Shit." Well, she gets an answer to satisfy her eccentric urges before catching up with Thomas as they return to the Jeep, where Reiner awaits.

Commander Hans gets to the conclusion (6) that the enemies are definitely warming up. The sound of large engines moving equally large vehicles, the traces of smoke he can see raising above the canopy... The noise heard from the forest path is indeed from half-tracks, but they don't seem to be going down the gash in the woods.They seem to be just circling around the camp, either carrying or dragging something with them, or just maneuvering out of the way of soldiers and other war machinery. His acute observations are disturbed once again by the radio operator, who this time tells him the crew of the nearby armored car is asking what exactly your Puma's driver is doing out and about and if any of your soldiers aren't going to scout ahead. Schultz is probably half-asleep by now, what of the lack of excitement. It is said war is composed mostly of time spent performing boring activities before a few minutes of bullets flying and probable death.

...

The sound of engines is even more obvious to those close to the clearing now. It is still rather hard to the soldiers close by to discern whether they are moving close to the path's entrance on their side or if they are heading towards the panzergrenadiers' direction.

(6) Nothing special seems to happen, except for the fact the sound of a - very likely accidentally discharged - rifle's report coming far into the other side of the trees.

This is already giving me the data I needed. I'm glad the original game I have in mind wouldn't lead to characters going through as much time as this without any action.

[Tiruin]

"So the Allies will notice soon that their scouting party hasn't returned--either a few minutes from now or via radio contact, we only have a short span of time until their intel returns." Nora said amongst the other soldiers. "Given our role as reconnaissance, I believe we've found our enemy. What does Command say?"

[Harry Baldman]

"Well, I think we've nearly done our job here, team. Get things done quick, then let's fall back."

Hope we don't get into any trouble before Reiner's done whatever the plan was, then I guess we retreat back when everyone's ready.

[NAV]

"I can't use this gun without any support. I'm probably better off with my rifle anyway."
Get in a good position with my rifle on the high ground.

[TCM]

((Where are we exactly?))

[adwarf]

Get the hell back to the Puma while the others set up.

((Where are we exactly?))

I should probably add a "positioning" section. Reiner, Heinkel and Wolfgang are by the Jeep area/woods; Thomas and Nora are on their way to the Jeep area/woods after getting what Reiner asked for, and the rest are with the armored car.

Get the hell back to the Puma while the others set up.

You really shouldn't ask for something then run away as it is delivered.

And a reminder: Trying to get a better idea of the the enemy forces' composition is part of the scouting mission. Saying "yep, they're there, that's a thing" then getting the hell out of dodge is doable but not satisfactory.

And a tip: you have a functioning Jeep to make the turn-long trip between armored car and woods quicker.

[adwarf]

Get the hell back to the Puma while the others set up.

I agree, but people want me back in the car apparently so they can place the AT mines, its not like they need me to direct them in how to setup a mine :v

Follow suit while watching everyone's back.

[Tiruin]

"Since our notice is reconnaissance, how's about someone drive their jeep and move a-ways nearer to the Allied camp, disembark along the rough trail and underbrush and scout from the flank?

"Doesn't that seem doable?" Nora asked Thomas as she practiced what she was going to say once she returned to the rest.

I intend to update after Saturday's test, so please have your actions posted until then.

[Tiruin]

((I've been waiting on em ))

Get my mortar ready but scan the area and/or the horizon for any details worth mention in this current day-time.

Direction of that rifle-shot to us, compared to where we bet the Allies are?

[Parsely]

PTW, this looks radical.
