Boat 1Jack shrugged. "I support any plan that involves blowing these guys up. Sounds good, let's do it."
Covering fire for explosions.
Name: Jack Worter
Description: Jack was transferred to the 888th after one of his explosives went off a bit too close to him, and he's been a bit funny in the head ever since. The scars line up on his face when he starts grinning at explosions. Likes nothing better to see things explode.

You poke your gun out the door and start firing. You only aim in the vague direction of the enemies; not trying to hit anything, just trying to make them duck for cover. [6] You use up your entire magazine, but it effectively surpresses the enemy.
Boat 2Knife out, start crawling towards the trenches.

UGH just realized this didn't go through -_- Could I retroactively act as 'first aid @ Jersey'? in that past turn? (By joining up with them or something)
Get up to a good position, lie prone; beware incoming mortar fire.
Binoculars out to update positions and get a better idea on who is where, and also to possibly get an aim bonus as I ready my sniper rifle (or whichever is better at this range)
Name: Joan Macaraeg
Description: Originally enlisted as a marksman from a background of being a crack shot at things, Joan was placed in supportive roles before she was assigned to anything near the front line. She hails from the northern mountains of Philippines, her home characterized by the jungle-heat and its high altitude.

Story: Honestly, his crew didn't like him. He hunted animals, but never shot to kill. He'd sit there and watch them with his boniculars until his binoculars were taken away. Shipped into the 888th after artillery decimated his crew and he was found, unharmed and smiling. When asked why, he said "Because the screams put me at ease."

Because of darlington and Joan's actions, I'm gonna assume Joan runs her way up to the bunker. Now, joan's job of scanning around is surprisingly easy because basically every single one of you guys is crammed into this bunker. In fact, you're so crammed in that its amazing no one has fired a rocket or thrown a grenade and wiped you all out. Good thing the nazi's are in retreat.
We can assume that from her position Joan can see all the people up on this grassy area and how things are working out. ((Just apply first aid to jersey now, since you're in the same building))
Boat 3"I'll stick around here and give some cover. Anyone got one of them rocket rifles to shoot the main bunker with?" Bob lay down in the grass, aiming his rifle out over the trenches to shoot any head that appeared.
Bob lays down cover fire, if Nazi heads are seen in the trench.
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.

No nazi's left in the trenches, they're all heading for the bunker. And Jack seems to be laying down a good spray of covering fire already, so you just roll with it.
Run into the left Trench and fire my HE round at the command center door

You run from the bunker over to the left trench and take aim at the main bunker. The thing has a big steel door that has, very stupidly, been built on the front, and is open right now as people flee into it. You aim to fire directly into it, so that the round explodes inside the bunker. [2]
The round flies straight over the bunker and off into the distance, exploding somewhere far beyond.
Squad 3:
"So...anyone got a plan? Cause we still got a few trenches to cross. We need somebody to give us some cover fire. That way those bastards don't fill the people running in with lead."
Use Ration.
Name: Joe Nix
Description: A tall, almost ape-like man with a completely shaved head, Nix has always been something of an oddball. Always cheerful when with company he finds pleasant, when its time to get serious, it's as if a monster enters his visage, and he develops a rather disturbing tunnel vision when it comes to finishing the mission.

You eat a ration and talk to the soldiers. (+2 physical)
"We're gonna run up beside it and blow the wall with a satchel charge!" the soldier shouts before hoisting himself up out of the trench and continuing towards the bunker. As he and the rest of the remaining allies run in, the main bunker erupts with machinegun fire, heavy guns spraying bullets at the closest advancing allies and, sporatically, back at the rest of the team.
Bob gets clipped [-1 life] but everyone else manages to survive without injury for the moment.
