The Great War
Western Front
Turn 1
Charge!
[3] You are one of the first out of the trench, swept up in the rush to get out. Above the roar of shouting men and stomping boots, you hear the peal of sniper fire, the guy on your left takes a bullet to the shoulder, one of the ones just behind you takes one right to the brain pan, but, you [19]/[14] are spared from being hit by a round from the German rifles. As you cross into the middle of no man's land, you see the MGs of the enemy, right as they begin to open up.
You are about halfway across the no man's land.
charge head for the nearest piece of cover.
[17] Being one of the last over the top, you are spared the brunt of the sniper fire. [19] You find a decent and almost perfect piece of cover, inside a bomb crater. MG rounds slam into the dirt behind you and whiz above your head, but your cover is sufficient to cover the massive explosive tank on your back.
You are about a fifth of the way into the no man's land.
Charge!
[16] You manage to avoid the death of suddenly going over the top, and waited for a second until it was easier to secure a ladder. [18]/[12]The snipers also were too busy dealing with the main attacking force to deal with you, much. [3]/[11] The MGs have the perfect shot on you,[18][15][10][5][6][1] They shot you twice and killed one of their snipers in their haste to reduce you to a bloody puddle. (-70 health)
You are about halfway across the no man's land.
Charge
[10] You are in the center of the wave. Not really safe from anything. [15]/[17] You are shot at by a sniper, [6] but he misses! The MG shoots wildly into the crowd, tearing chunks off of people, spattering their blood and gore onto everybody behind them. [3]/[17] You are not spared from this either. [8][2][6][1][14][11] You pull through however and manage not to get a single scratch. Lucky you.
PFC Daniels arrives on scene to see the wave of friendlies cross the no man's land. [18] For the moment you are able to go wherever in the entente trench you wish to go, on your way to the front line, that is. You will be given orders then.
You are in the reserve trench.
PFC Amatin arrives on scene to see the wave of friendlies cross the no man's land.[15] You are to move to the front. But, you will wait there until the CO arrives to give you orders.
Charge!!!
[20] You waltz into the no man's land almost completely unimpeded. The MGs are blind to you, as are the snipers. Of course this could change in a heartbeat.
You are one tenth of the way into the no man's land.
The deafening roar of MGs sounds out, like a great dragon breathing fire onto some brave knight. Some members of the wave are lying dead in the mud, some found cover from the MGs, some are still running.
