"I'm good, ready to go."

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

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.

One standard boat ride to another ship and then boarding of a landing craft later

The ride into Cherbourg is aboard the same kind of landing craft as the initial invasion but this time there are no bullets pinging off the hull. There's a distant sound of gunfire and the occasional resounding boom of shells from the naval bombardment landing, but its overall much smoother sailing.  As the boat travels -to where no one can be sure because the hall sides are too high to see over- a soldier with the unit you're aiding shows everyone a map.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"This is what we've got for the most recent map. Its aerial, taken before the bombardment really started. Upper left here is the furthest extension of the harbor, its where we're headed. We already control the harbor and the buildings around it in that yellowish bare dirt section. Beyond that, everything is technically under german control. We're not sure which homes and buildings in there are actually occupied though. We estimate there are probably a hundred or more civilians squatting, acting as resistance, or just hiding in buildings. No idea about the number of germans or their locations other than that they're definately here"

He taps on the gray structure on top of a hill in the bottom right of the image

"Thats the fort. They've got good firing lines on all the homes and areas around here, though we're not really sure their level of accuracy or their ability to pick out small groups from a long distance. Still, I'd stay off the main streets as best you can; there's a ton of forest around here between and behind buildings, perfect cover.

You guys just have to make a path and clear that fort. Clear as many buildings as you can on the way, of course, and take whatever path you want, but that fort is priority one.

We'll try to keep advancing the front behind you to provide support if you need it, but a big part of this is the fact that a small force has more chance to sneak in unnoticed  than a full blown assault."


He folds the map back up and then holds it in front of him, scanning the boat.

"You have any more questions? Oh and who is the lead here?" He points the map towards the group and moves it back and forth as though seeking the leader.

[The Lupanian]

“Two questions. One, what is that large building at the base of the harbor, and what is the status of it? Second, do each of the colored dots along thecroads indicate individual houses? And how wooded are the areas in dark green?”

[Gentlefish]

Ask:

So uh, those questions. And wot in tarnation's in the lower left of the map? All that gray like the bunker scares me.

”so, um, can I get that gun I’ve been asking for? Or the knife?”
“Also is Alice gonna give us some air support, or what?”
I’m not sure if you gave the gun, knife, or mask to me.

[Radio Controlled]

"You have any more questions? Oh and who is the lead here?" He points the map towards the group and moves it back and forth as though seeking the leader.

"This guy, right here, he's your man!" The radioman shouted, pointing at Ed.

“Two questions. One, what is that large building at the base of the harbor, and what is the status of it? Second, do each of the colored dots along thecroads indicate individual houses? And how wooded are the areas in dark green?”

"Houses round here tend to have either some shade of red to orange roofs or black tartops. Most of the buildings on there are homes. The wooded areas are...maybe 6 or so feet between trees? Pretty dense."

Ask:

So uh, those questions. And wot in tarnation's in the lower left of the map? All that gray like the bunker scares me.
