D-Day + 14
Somewhere in the French countryside surrounding Normandy.

"Alright, boys! This will be a simple operation. Sweep from the north, and tell us what you see. Be back at 0730 hours." The Captain sends off a small squad of men to scout the town for about ten minutes. You're on the other side of the hill from the town and waiting orders.

"As for the rest of you, we'll move out at 0740. Penn, Ryan, Shelly, you other three. You are Alpha squad, you'll flank around the south and go street to street, house to house, door to door. Don't let Fritz keep them. Robertson, go sit in the ruins of that windmill over there and provide overwatch." He drifts off to the rest of the Company, leaving the three of you and Tommy Dean to prepare for your mission into town.

As everybody prepares for their part, shots start ringing out in the town. Quicker than anything anyone's heard since D-Day. Probably an MG42. It fires for a bit then let's off. One of the scouts comes back. He's dazed and obviously shaken by what he'd just seen. "They had... They had t-three machine guns, and twenty men. They m-met us just outside of town. Billy's dead, Ho-Horace is wounded a-and bleeding out. I lost John somewhere on the way back."

"Alpha squad. You're up. Go round the bend and come up through one of the side alleys. We'll meet you in the middle." And with that, you run. Once you arrive, you set inwards.

Skills:
Making germans rage. - Through mastery of the ancient slavic tradition of trolling the germans, Slobodan certainly can provoke those Fritzs to RAEG uncontrollably in and outside combat. (May use a free action to focus up to five enemy units of his own choosing on himself).
The Officer Corps hate this guy! This is his method... - If slavs are naturally able at pissing off the post-teutons, then Slobodan is a slav by all means, however that is not his only great ability - due to the proud tradition of assasinating important officials deeply seated in the balkan mentality Slobodan is great for those killshots directed at officers or other important figures in the enemy force. (+3 for shots targetting either officers, important officials or other high-value targets).

"...Jesus" Richard wipes his brow.

Gripping his M1 Carbine tightly he sets off in the direction the captain ordered hugging the walls and watching the windows.

[Sosoku234]

((You should probably go register in the OOC.))

[S34N1C]

"Let's go get em!" Andrew shouts with zeal. He runs towards the objective, making sure to remain in cover.

((You should probably link the OOC in the OP))

[WunderKatze]

((You should probably go register in the OOC.))

((There's a lot of people should I just edit out my stuff?

Too be fair you didn't even put up a current player list.))

((Done.))

[Sosoku234]

((Nah. Just like make the sheet now. I'll let it slide.

And I've put the player list in.))

[Stirk]

((My character isn't even close to being mine ))

"Looks like we are having kraut for lunch!" Follow everyone else.

[Funk]

"I guess at means i'm storming the street."

[Slick]

"I guess at means i'm storming the street."

"Ah...hell, don't worry Shell I'll back you up."

Jack follows Shelly to support her.

[Sosoku234]

TURN 1


Everybody in the group moves up into the town. It isn't quite smashed to little bits, but it is littered with bomb craters every once in a while.


Richard whispers prayers to himself as he keeps his back to the wall, scanning the windows of the houses for german defenses. [12] You can see a small bit of light from in one of the houses, it immediately goes out. That's about it though.


With a shout of encouragement, Andrew runs bravely forward, and takes cover behind a solid, yet broken, street divider. [8] He doesn't see anything out of the ordinary, but the bombed out streets and random bricks in the road.


Ethan, follows Richard and Andrew , making remarks about what they'll be eating for lunch today, but doesn't make a huge effort to conceal himself, but doesn't attract any unwanted attention. [17] He does see a german helmet sink below a window sill and the barrel of an MP 40 in another. He sees the light in the room go out.


Shelly moves up, also not really keeping to cover. [6] She trips over a brick in the street, making a ruckus. A german man in the house across the street looks out the second story window and sees the whole unit. His look is one of horror at this bunch of soldiers moving down the lane.
 "ICH SEHE SIE!" He takes a pot shot with his Gewehr, [11/3] but misses, awfully. Another german head pops up out of the other window.


"Ah...hell, don't worry Shell I'll back you up." Just before she tripped.

Seeing and hearing the german take a shot at Shelly, Jack fires a few quick shots, [16/8/3] hitting the offending german in the gut and arm, and accidentally hitting the other one in the right side of his chest. They both go down, the second one falling out the second story window. Jack takes cover behind a burned up car.

[WunderKatze]

"Oh marry!"

In a feeble attempt to surpress the Jerries Richard fires a volley of unaimed rounds into the windows.

[S34N1C]

Stay where I am, and go on overwatch. Use my Firing Discipline skill if any enemies are encountered.

[Stirk]

Civi houses? Ain't bulletproof. Send a burst beneath the windowsills, were a combatant would be concealed.

[Sosoku234]

Enemy Action

Screaming is heard inside the house from the wounded. A dead man lies facedown on the sidewalk, a rapidly expanding pool of blood staining the pavement.

Inside, a soldier gets up to drag his wounded comrades back from the window, [13/12+2] he is shot in the shoulder and arm by Andrew. He scrambles back to avoid another volley from the clearly superior firepower.
-$14

Another moved to take a shot at Richard with an STG-44. [12/17] He misses by a foot and a half.

The first offender shoots at Ethan. [19/20] He gets some lucky shots against a lucky guy, hitting him in the gut, and left arm.

((If you do not post an action, I will move you to cover and you will hunker down. This way I won't just kill you for being idle. But if you are idle for three turns, I will start making enemies fire at you.))

"Well Shell got a plan?"

(We are next to each other, right?)
