Your Helicopter jumps as you are now over land. You are a marine on your way to the base, Khe Sanh. The helicopter slows down on its approch. You, and your squadmate Johnson get off of the helicopter. You are soon greeted by a lieutenant, "Welcome to Viet Nam, You're in my platoon, I'll show you around". He then procedes to show you around the base. You drop your gear in the barracks, you are expected to report back to the LT in an hour. So you have an hour of free time, what do you do with it?

[Phantom]

I and Johnson go check what those SOG guys are doing, crazy bastards.

[elitetaco3519]

You walk over to the SOG guys, you get close enough to hear something about the Tet ceasefire, darn peace before you get action. You turn to tell Johnson something, but it is interrupted by a massive sound, you turn to the SOG guys, they dissapper in a cloud. You and Johnson are unarmed and unscathed, but there is mortar fire comming from some where, you run for cover, you find it in a bunker. Without a weapon, what will you do?

[Phantom]

Obviously the Armory and those douchebags at the front have weapons, go find them!

[elitetaco3519]

You find a body of a fellow Marien. He had an M16 on him plus 4 clips. there are no other bodys around, so Johnson is still weaponless. There is heavy mortars outside. You decide to stay in the bunker.
+1 M16
+4 5.56mm clips

[Phantom]

Shoot at any North Vietnamese troops coming in.

[elitetaco3519]

You make your way to the front of the bunker. you peer out and se NVA Troops everywhere. You fire youre entire mag at them, but stop to change your mag. A Sargent runs into the bunker "WE NEED MEN IN THE TRENCHES! NOW!" will you follow the Sgt's orders? What will you do next?
The mortars have stopped
-1 5.56mm  mag

[quip]

Follow the sargent's orders./minor bump.
...
Morders?

[Draignean]

Morders?

One does not simply walk into Morder...

_{I'm sorry, I couldn't resist.}

[elitetaco3519]

sorry about that, its fixed
Anyway you follow the sargent's orders and you and some others head to the trenches. You get there to see it overran, you could fall back and hold another defencive perimeter, or try to retake the trenches. Either way the trenches still need to be taken. What will you do?

[Omegastick]

Do you know that you've been spelling 'Sergeant' wrong this whole game?

[quip]

In my case it was because of a total lack of spelling when it comes to military terminology (and words in general), fo rexample, I would have spelled 'mortars' as 'mortors'.

I give my battle cry:

and then write a complaint to my governor about the rules of engagement.
