Why not forge a temporary alliance with the Russians?

Keep fighting!

((Heh, well, at this point I'd try for a retreat- we blew up the convoy beautifully, mission accomplished, with nominal casualties. Meanwhile the new enemies will likely circumvent our remaining mines, (what with the roadblocks), and we dont really have the best tank v tank capability. Meanwhile if we pull away, the russians and the allies might duke it out long enough for us to escape. If we really want to try for a moonshot, leave 1-2 squads behind to maybe, (maybe), snag a surviving vehicle or two and vamoose. But that's rather dangerous. Ich melde mich freiwillig.))

Radio the Russians and demand to know why they're attacking the Germans, trying to convince them to attack the allied troops instead.

(( Am I wrong that we have both Allies and Russians against us? If so, then still do that in hopes that they'll bypass our site completely and move toward France. ))

Have one of the Belgian squads prepare to use any grenades we have against the tanks while the riflemen of that group defend against the other military vehicles.

Have the medics hang back and prepare to start taking care of Belgian and German enemies. Command my troops to shoot to kill only, it's far to early to be taking prisoners

(( Sorry about not checking up on this and also, I seriously hope this doesn't backfire. ))

Also, only fire on the Russians if they come within range of us and only if they have aggressive intent. The idea here is to keep as much of our Belgian retinue alive to keep fighting whilst helping the Germans in what ways we can.

((No, they're not! They're a separate faction, and as said, they are here to destroy the Allied convoy as well.))

((I seriously hope this doesn't backfire. ))
((It's more of a Mélêe à Trois with the Russians fighting the Allies in addition to us. Also note that you may have trouble with the communication part of your plan as there is a language barrier, and even then the Russians might have got their orders from higher ups with no context, just like we have, and not know the reason to attack, just that they should.))

Nah, this is after the second great war. Which means cold war time! Except in this verse it isnt so cold. And we're crazy hold-out partisan people.


Hm, we have a motorcycle right? Think we could use that to draw the allies' attention to the ruskies?

Quote from: IcyTea
-What he said-

That's what I thought, but this is a gambit. Also, the language barrier could indeed be a problem. If so, the rolls will indicate this. Being a Belgian higher up, I do know French and German at least, and I'm using German in hopes that the Russians know it as well as Russian. Which, geographically and historically speaking, wouldn't be that much of a long-shot. Still there's no guarantees of anything, perhaps the Russian commanders are also uneducated and will not know what I'm talking about. Perhaps they won't care. Perhaps their orders are to kill everything not Russian. Those were popular orders under Stalin, and there's no reason to suspect they won't be now. I'm just trying something in hopes of diverting combat to the Allies instead of you guys. If it fails, we continue as planned.

* sighs * Yeah... All the more reason to want to not oppose them in direct combat and let the two larger armies engage in a battle of attrition then enact guerrilla warfare to capture the resources ( and prisoners ) of both. Know the limitations of being the little guy.
