I start tossing bodies out the nearest convenient hatch, and promise the other that I normally don't bite things that aren't food, I was just really really eager to get some explosives.

Spoiler: Toby ‘Bitey’ Parrish, (click to show/hide)

Name:Tobeis ‘Toby’ Parrish, 20

Physical and Mental Description: Brown, almost black hair, exceptionally blue eyes, white skin, and numerous scratches. Wears glasses (which have as yet managed to survive without breaking) although he can see fairly well within about 50 meters.  Pragmatic in combat, doesn't believe in fighting honorably, and very rarely ever stops moving, except to make a shot or pretend to listen to a superior officer. Has an amazing lack of respect for officers over the rank of 1st Lt. (unless they're serving on the front with him.) Prefers to use his bayonet instead of his pistol for close range, because the bayonet doesn't jam. Would rather hide in the mud than take his chances running for a better hiding place. Assigned to the 888th for assaulting a superior officer ("No, he inadvertently ran into my buttstock just before he could suggest a glorious charge towards a fortified position, clumsy sod"), shooting 3 prisoners whilst on a mission behind enemy lines ("What was I supposed to do, it was a behind-enemy-lines mission, and besides, those SS bastards had it coming to them") and failing to maintain a clean and orderly appearance during an award ceremony ("I guess 3rd strikes out, whoops, can't be any worse than have to serve under this idiot guess you'll have to transfer me to a different regiment.") Spends most of his time digging, building, or otherwise creating defensive positions to hide in when things inevitably go to shit. Is the type of guy who would tape 6 short-fused frag grenades to the inside of a blast door on the off chance that the enemy manages to open it.

"Yes, I am definitely reassured by the fact that you were only chewing on a metal hatch because you really, really, wanted to blow something up. I'm glad that we put you in our tank."

[Strider03]

"Holy shit. Thanks, Ed! Now where's the guns on this thing, I need a machinegun!" Bob tries to make his way through the confined space of the tank to get to a possible machinegun, or other gun, to gun down Nazis.

Find a machinegun, or other if none is built into the tank. Shoot Nazis if there are any that we seem to be attacking. If there's a problem with action, pls forgive, I'm still on vacation.

Name: Robert McKinley
Description: McKinley was about ten years old when WWI ended, and his brother returned with innumerable stories of gore and glory. Robert desired to fight for his country in the same way. There was, however, no immediate war in which he could partake. He considered himself to be one of the few to hate the Roaring Twenties. They were a time when the people wallowed in extravagance and purposely forgot the horrors, but also the sacrifices and heroism of the great war. And then came the depression. He found himself liking the depression, though of course, he didn't admit that. Mainly because it seemed like fitting retribution for the excess of the previous years. it might have also had to do with the fact that he managed to retain his job and keep up a standard of living. In any case, 1939 was a year almost of rejoicing, and after he had settled his affairs, he signed up for the battle which he had lusted for.
He's a tall, blondish man who fancies himself to have a certain rakish look. His eyes are deep set under a heavy brow, but full of disturbing light. Call him Bob.

Sid silently looks around the tank which the man had just dragged him into. He looks at the man who looks most in charge (Simon), waiting for orders.

"You're a sapper, right?  Uhh, I guess that's kinda like a gunner, get in the turret, shoot the really big gun at any enemy tanks, or, like, groups of Nazi infantry, or anything dangerous that needs killing.  Yeah!  Just don't shoot the clouds, they're really dangerous now but I don't think the cannon will do anything to them... well, probably not.  Maybe it's worth one shot, what's the worse that could happen?"

[Egan_BW]

"Do you need that question answered? Because I think we can come up with several possible answers."

[Ozarck]

"Fucken clouds. We'll show them too."

[Redjive_Industries]

"Oh, I can think of many things that could happen! Let's see, the clouds could get really angry and start zapping us even more, they might start throwing shells back at us, they might zoom down on us and start zapping us..."
"Or, y'know, maybe nothing will happen?"

You push on a bit of rubble and it shifts in a terrifying domino reaction. You scramble back and rubble falls against the door to the cupboard you were hiding in, wedging the door shut.

"For the love of God, Montresor! Wait...why did I say that?"

"YeeeeeeeeeeeeeeHAAAAAAAAA!!!! Fuck, that was scary! Let's do it again!"

"What's that, Alice? Oh, right. Just a little rusty, just a little rusty. I hardly exploded us at all. It'll be fine, probably."

Let's try this again. Forward, noble steed, to battle! Same route as before, up the street that crosses toward the fort, looking for Nazis to shoot.

To Tala over the Radio: "Watch for static and St. Elmo's Fire. If you experience it, run as fast as you can. Try to sneak around to the back side of the fort and come up from behind. We'll clear out the east side of town and maybe go up the front. to see what those firing positions at the fort look like."

Spoiler: mission briefing (click to show/hide)

We've been tasked with helping clear a section of city and then to remove the "Fort du Roule", a heavily fortified hill top bunker, from the list of enemy held positions.
Its position on the hilltops above the city makes it too good of a strategic position for them to just bomb it to gravel.
Taking it won't be easy though; its got at least 5 heavily fortified firing positions and a tunnel system in the stone.
Intelligence indicates there's an entrance on the west side of the mountain, though getting to it might be harder than just getting to one of those fortified positions and blasting on through. Your call.

We're going to drop you off by boat and the local boys will bring you where you need to go. We're told they'll have a map for you but don't expect anything amazing.

This is a simple job, lads: Kill any Kraut that still has some fight in him, spare any citizen of the town, and try to keep that fort as intact as possible."  He waves his hand dismissively at that last part, but doesn't say anything more.

"Just like riding a bike. A big armor plated bike with treads and a cannon."

((Yeah, you got dragged into the tank and given four HE shells as payment for being our loader.  You could steal more if you want, I guess.  Not much the loader really gets to do. :\ ))

"Haaah, hahaha, great job, Ed!  Man, this tank is awesome, it even survives lightning!  We're gonna wreck the Naughties!"

"...Though, it's really getting crowded in here.  And wet.  Six people, four bleeding corpses, this can't be within operational specs."

Those four corpses that were left in the tank?  Start throwing them out.  As much good as they'd do as emergency rations, I'm sure we'll find or produce more corpses soon, and the tank is only intended to hold five bodies--not ten.

Also, grab some of the ammo for the mounted machine guns, and reload that MG 15 Simon's been lugging around since D-Day.  Maybe grab a couple boxes of extra ammo if it's convenient, I'unno how the ammo's stored.

  GLORY: 105!
  
  Current mission accomplishments (So I don't have to go back over things later):
  
• Scouted out the northeastern Nazi positions, has now informed everyone.  Including the Nazis, probably.
• Set fire to a Nazi-occupied building, which five Nazis then fled from.  Then snuck past without issue.
• Partially scouted the bunker, from the north, found three machine gun nests which have a good view of the entrance switchback, and 180° coverage otherwise.  Saw that the northern slope terminates in a 25-foot high cliff, making it near impassable.
• Got caught near a house which was struck by machinegun lightning and detonated spectacularly.  Survived with -2 life.
• Killed an entire tank crew.  In melee. Without taking any wounds.  ALONE.  Then stole their Panzer IV and drove it home.
• While riding in that tank, survived a massive targeted lightning bolt through no fault of his own.  Ed rolled a one and utterly failed to dodge.

As Ed drives along you start discarding nazi bodies, pushing them up and out of the hatch one at a time. They tumble down off the tank and into the road.

"Burial at Asphalt." You muse to yourself as the last corpse flops down into the road.

That done you reload a weapon and grab one box of ammo from the tank's machine gun.

Follow orders.

Well wasn't that a wild ride? Jack laughs, knowing just how narrowly he avoided certain death. There must be a god looking out for him after all.

Sir, what should we do with these captives?

His obsession with "soft" things turned to something of an obsession with soft meats. He was quickly transferred to the best brigade for this kind of man.

Name: Sid “Sapper” Brown
Descriptipn: War is never a pretty thing. It burns homes and tears apart families. But sometimes, it will tear apart more than just the physical. Sid “Sapper” Brown was a fresh recruit, right out of the academy, sporting a extensive knowledge of mortar ballistics.

He never got the chance to fire a mortar. The first night he was on the front lines, a Kraut bombardment obliterated his entire squad. Sid was the only survivor. He spent the rest of the night huddled in a foxhole with the upper half of his best friend.

That morning, a kraut patrol came by to check over the blasted position for survivors, and to scavenge any intel they could find.

The company that went to reinforce the position two days later found Sid alone, in a still-smoldering camp, standing over the corpses of several dismembered German soldiers, his trusty engineering shovel spattered with blood and viscera.

You wriggle across the road and into the forested area around the bunker, but you hit a snag: The ground here rises sharply into what is effectively a cliff. You don't think you'll be able to climb it very well and remain as hidden as you are now.

"Holy shit. Thanks, Ed! Now where's the guns on this thing, I need a machinegun!" Bob tries to make his way through the confined space of the tank to get to a possible machinegun, or other gun, to gun down Nazis.

Find a machinegun, or other if none is built into the tank. Shoot Nazis if there are any that we seem to be attacking. If there's a problem with action, pls forgive, I'm still on vacation.

Bob continues the important work of sitting behind a big gun and being ready to shoot nazis.

"YeeeeeeeeeeeeeeHAAAAAAAAA!!!! Fuck, that was scary! Let's do it again!"

"What's that, Alice? Oh, right. Just a little rusty, just a little rusty. I hardly exploded us at all. It'll be fine, probably."

Let's try this again. Forward, noble steed, to battle! Same route as before, up the street that crosses toward the fort, looking for Nazis to shoot.

To Tala over the Radio: "Watch for static and St. Elmo's Fire. If you experience it, run as fast as you can. Try to sneak around to the back side of the fort and come up from behind. We'll clear out the east side of town and maybe go up the front. to see what those firing positions at the fort look like."

Spoiler: mission briefing (click to show/hide)

We've been tasked with helping clear a section of city and then to remove the "Fort du Roule", a heavily fortified hill top bunker, from the list of enemy held positions.
Its position on the hilltops above the city makes it too good of a strategic position for them to just bomb it to gravel.
Taking it won't be easy though; its got at least 5 heavily fortified firing positions and a tunnel system in the stone.
Intelligence indicates there's an entrance on the west side of the mountain, though getting to it might be harder than just getting to one of those fortified positions and blasting on through. Your call.

We're going to drop you off by boat and the local boys will bring you where you need to go. We're told they'll have a map for you but don't expect anything amazing.

This is a simple job, lads: Kill any Kraut that still has some fight in him, spare any citizen of the town, and try to keep that fort as intact as possible."  He waves his hand dismissively at that last part, but doesn't say anything more.

Spoiler: Carolina (click to show/hide)

Name: Carolina Oliveira
Description:
An average sized woman with an athletic build.
She comes from Brazil, where she was secretly trained as a spy. Despite her training, she took up more combat skills than she did stealth and espionage. She was deployed with the Brazilian Navy in the Atlantic for some time before being sent on reconnaissance in Italy, from there she somehow ended up here.
She wears a grey knitted wool cap. It has ear flaps that dangle down several inches, in the style of many South American knitted hats. It is formed to look like it has cat ears, and it has two larger buttons fastened to look like the eyes. When she has her combat helmet on, the cap is worn underneath as a helmet liner.

Tala's increasing bundle of men and women trundle forward, cutting across roads and forested areas on their way towards the rear of the bunker. They're not as fast as the tank but they also don't have to follow meandering french roads so they manage to catch back up with Ed's automated murder caravan, at least in terms of East/West orientation.






The spike in the clouds glides along after the tank, moving not quite fast enough to keep up but always keeping near it. As the tank pass northward along a road parallel to the main road, one of the bunker's entrenched machine guns turns and focuses on it. It seems to pause there for a moment, as though indecisive,  and then opens fire. Rounds tear through the air and rip up homes and asphalt around the tank; several even strike the armor and rebound off or pancake into the plating. Though clearly designed for infantry the shots still dent the metal.  The tank continues forward until it passes in front of home and puts the structure between itself and the machinegun.  The gun keeps firing, sending random rounds through the structure, but rarely striking true.

"We need a smokescreen, to keep em guessing. Hey, cannon! Aim at the fort and get ready to fire, would ya? What are you doing up there, anyway, sightseeing?"

Ed drives to the next break in cover and assists the main gunner in targetting. If nothing else, by shouting advice at him. Once we've fired a shot or two up at teh machine gun, we'll keep trundling forward again, heading toward the long, winding, oh so exposed path up to the fort.

Ed switches to the main gun and aims at the fort. when he gets line of sight, he'll fire on the machine gun position.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Sid “Sapper” Brown
Descriptipn: War is never a pretty thing. It burns homes and tears apart families. But sometimes, it will tear apart more than just the physical. Sid “Sapper” Brown was a fresh recruit, right out of the academy, sporting a extensive knowledge of mortar ballistics.

He never got the chance to fire a mortar. The first night he was on the front lines, a Kraut bombardment obliterated his entire squad. Sid was the only survivor. He spent the rest of the night huddled in a foxhole with the upper half of his best friend.

That morning, a kraut patrol came by to check over the blasted position for survivors, and to scavenge any intel they could find.

The company that went to reinforce the position two days later found Sid alone, in a still-smoldering camp, standing over the corpses of several dismembered German soldiers, his trusty engineering shovel spattered with blood and viscera.

"Hey, yeah, Sid, why aren't you shooting back at them?  ...Sid?  Wait, where the hell did he go?  Gah, Ed, you take over the turret, shoot the bunker, Alice, you're the new driver, just don't screw over our shots.  And, uh, Robert!  You take the radio seat, after the bunker's dead you can use the outside MG.  Bitey, if you desert too, I will hunt you down, and take those shells back."

Tell Ed to man the turret and shoot the bunker, and Alice to take over driving.  Simon himself will wait until the machine gun fire has slowed down or stopped, then pop out of the commander's hatch and scan the offending bunker with his Springfield; mostly, the purpose is to pick out any high-risk targets, but if he sees any machine gunners shooting back he'll try and pick them off.

Have the trench knife ready just in case any Nazi boarders show up.

  Current mission accomplishments (So I don't have to go back over things later):
  
• Scouted out the northeastern Nazi positions, has now informed everyone.  Including the Nazis, probably.
• Set fire to a Nazi-occupied building, which five Nazis then fled from.  Then snuck past without issue.
• Partially scouted the bunker, from the north, found three machine gun nests which have a good view of the entrance switchback, and 180° coverage otherwise.  Saw that the northern slope terminates in a 25-foot high cliff, making it near impassable.
• Got caught near a house which was struck by machinegun lightning and detonated spectacularly.  Survived with -2 life.
• Killed an entire tank crew.  In melee. Without taking any wounds.  ALONE.  Then stole their Panzer IV and drove it home.
• While riding in that tank, survived a massive targeted lightning bolt through no fault of his own.  Ed rolled a one and utterly failed to dodge.
