"That is rather disconcerting, sir."

"Really? Well, let's talk about something else, then. Do you think teh Cardinals will make it to the Series again this year? They have a score to settle with the Yankees, right? Not that the Yankees will lose, even without Buddy Hassett."

"Bah, the Cardinal's batter couldn't hit his way out of a wet paper bag, and their pitcher looks like the he spends most of his time with a filled pitcher, if you catch my drift."

((Note: I know nothing about baseball. I tried to do some quick research but got bored fairly quickly (I mean, it's baseball ), so this probably makes less than zero sense.))

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.

"I should've gotten some of those gas grenades.  Oh well."

Only three?  Hah, Simon can take three!

...There's probably more than three.  Hmm.  Do more scouting before engaging; are there more than three Nazis?  Are there any emplacements, like machinegunners set up to spray fire over the area?  Take note of any such things, and if there's a ton more enemies (at least ten) and/or significant fortification, just start slinking back to Allied territory.

Otherwise, move to the Northeast, trying to find a spot as far away as possible, while still being able to see into the windows, and hurriedly camoflage it a little.  Not *too* much, time is of the essence, but enough that casual scanning won't reveal Simon.

Then fire a single incendiary bullet from the De Lisle, into whatever part of the structure looks most flammable.  Hope it catches.

You sit in a bush scanning the house through your binoculars. You spend several minutes watching the home but even after careful observation you have no idea how many men are in the building. You keep seeing what you think could either be shadows or another man, not to mention you sort of lose track of what these guys look like. Nazis....well they all look the same to you.
[5]
Despite this, you're pretty damn sure there can't be more than 10 people in that house. You slink back into the woods and climb a tree, hiding yourself among the dense leaves and laying out across a broad branch that points towards the house.
[3]
You chamber a single incindiary round and take careful aim at the house, scanning it up and down, looking for the most flammable thing. You eventually settle on a pile of unused firewood on the side of the  building. The rifle coughs and you hear a sound like a hammer hitting wood in the distance. One of the men near the pile of wood looks around, crouching slightly  and raising his rifle. However, after a few moments he straightens up and walks back towards the house. You see smoke rising from the wood pile a minute or so later and then flames.

Bob radios in to the group, "I'm about a block ahead of you guys, just came to the east to west road.

Bob radios to others, then uses his mirror to check in through the windows of the buildings on either side of him. Pistol out in case anyone appears. But if there're people in the building and they don't see him, he'll hide.

If there's no one in the buildings, he'll try to sprint across the street and get into the trees on the other side. Try not to get shot when crossing the street.

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.

You scan the street with your mirror, pistol ready in the other hand. There's no sign of movement, so you take a deep breath and run across the street in a crouch, slipping into one of the buildings on the far side. You push your back to the wall near the door and wait a moment with your breath held, listening. When nothing happens you slowly let the breath out and breath again. You have to stifle a gag as a horrible rotten smell fills your nose. You look around and see you are standing on old, dried blood and there is the lower half of a human torso maybe 3 feet away from your feet.  There is a sharp, acrid, inorganic smell in the air as well.

With that grenade out of the way, go join the house-cleaning crew. Be ready to take out the trash.

Let's not do that again please. Ah'd like to be able to walk back home.

The street sweepers continue to clean house, moving through each building one at a time. They find no one alive, but there are several dead germans and two dead civilians. No one has any guns or ammo; not so much as a knife even. It looks like they've been stripped of everything useful, probably by whoever killed them.

Distressingly, you find something familiar carved into the wall of one of the upstairs rooms; at same symbol that you've been finding around with the odd Nazi goings on; the pinwheel and cephalopodan  thing. Its got something in German written under it.

Tala ran over to the Radioman and tapped him, and radio'd the others with Edward.

"West team; encountered nothing but dead Wehrmacht. A body was trapped; no issues or injuries. I don't see any sense of this being an enemy trap--also would be strange for them to do so on their own. Must be the work of the resistance or others. I'd advise everyone to proceed instead of thoroughly checking this place; there are more fallen Wehrmacht ahead. Also we do need radios for communication. Someone please keep regular updates.

"Edward; orders! Everyone please proceed."

She walked alongside Edward for the moment.

"What do you even mean by "Left here in a hurry"? The one trapped is nearest to our area. That doesn't make sense."

Move along, get something white and tie it around my rifle that I make obvious on my person but not obvious enough to be an overt sniper target.
Get moving, check ahead--that 'further ahead' area where I saw more of them..

You get into the spirit of the french rebellion and hang a white flag~

Tala ran over to the Radioman and tapped him, and radio'd the others with Edward.

"Yes ma'm!"

Do this radioing. Also, as a standing order, communicate things from my team to other teams and vice versa as needed.

and I can be free to find the best location for my precious children to ... blossom ... into wonderful, brilliant flowers.

"That, uhh, that sounds kinda creepy when you put it like that, sir."

Then again try to monitor the airwaves for German radio chatter.

Who else is carrying a radio? I don't think Robert or Simon are. Any of the Street sweepers carrying one?  Otherwise I'll assume you're just radioing back to base.
[4]
You catch bits and pieces of german chatter, jotting down what you can hear for decryption and translation.

Ed will advance his crew to the intersection to the south, keeping in cover where possible, and keeping an eye out for the living. Ed professionally admires the body bombs, though naturally he is repelled by them. He'll use his experience with traps to locate more along the way.

If nothing else interesting happens, we'll rinse and repeat, heading to the second intersection to the south, and again to the west, then south toward that group of red roofed homes.

"Alright, The Germans look to have left here i a hurry, but not enough of a hurry. Try not to touch too many things around here. Rule of thumb gang - if it looks interesting, it's probably explosive. Explosives are always interesting."

One fully autonomous Radio:

Pretty sure I gave it to Oz since he was the first to answer.  Not that he can't be used by multiple people. 

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.

You, Tala, and Radio continue advancing south until you get close to the second intersection. There are corpses just past the second intersection, to the east. They're not laying normally, they're lined up along the sidewalk in a neat row, naked from the waist up. They are bloodier than you would expect; to the point that the entire sidewalk around them is stained dark red. And their hands look like they were bound behind their backs.

Everything is still quiet. At least until a peal of thunder crashes somewhere to the east and makes everyone flinch. You look over to the east and see a massive black wall of cumulonimbus clouds, crackling with internal lightning, advancing towards the city.  They're moving fast enough that their slow churning advance is visible, even with just a glance.

"Hmm, it seems like some 'old friends' have come back for round two.

What should we do about them, sir?"

[Strider03]

"Eugh, you stink man." Bob backs away a bit, to try to inspect the body from a few feet away.

Bob is carrying a radio. Inspect the body without touching, see if it looks like there's anything good to loot. If not, start heading south-east through the trees, watching out for traps. Before moving, signal the clearing team to move up, whether by radio if they somehow have one, by clickers if they're near enough to hear, or whatever.

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.

Survived the attack on the USS St. Elijah.
Proudly displayed his nude form in the Park Crescent Hotel Lobby, and acted as an excellent getaway driver.

[syvarris]

Hmm.  Just wait for now.  If the Nazis notice the growing flame and start to deal with it, start picking them off once they're out of cover and busy, starting with anyone isolated, and then whoever's close enough to run indoors.

If the storm reaches the building before anything can happen, wait for the Nazis to all hole up inside, and then start creeping around towards the East of the building--might as well just sneak past, using the weather for cover.

Hopefully it isn't an eldritch storm with anti-Allied lightning.

"Hmm, it seems like some 'old friends' have come back for round two.

What should we do about them, sir?"

Tala raised an eyebrow at the Radioman until she remembered that one ship-storm.

"Wait really? Are you sure this isn't just a local phenomenon? Also what're your thoughts on...those?" she pointed at the bodies. "I'm still thinking really extreme resistance activity-treatment, but that really looks harsh in turn. Also perhaps desperation or guerilla attacks given the lack of gear or anything, but that's signifying torture on the spot. Whoever did it had the time to do so. I'd advise moving up, I'll try finding a spot I can both provide lookout and check what's on east (the center of our map area). Radio, please...radio the others. I'm really wishing we kept those handie-talkies. Also Ed/Radio, get a gas grenade on me. You may need it soon."

Do so! Find a spot that both gives concealment and overwatch! Pretty much using my sniper scope to check (or binoculars), whichever is better.
Also retroactively probably giving either Ed/Radio a gas grenade.

[Ozarck]

"Hmm. Those clouds do look ominous. Could be natural, but we should be on guard against the alternative.

AS for these bodies, you are right that they look like they had time. This looks like an execution, plain and simple. Could be Frenchies executing captured Germans, but I doubt they've been in power long enough to round up a squad of Nazis. This looks like Nazi handiwork then, probably killing the Resistance, or people they suspect of supporting the Allies. So we are getting closer to a Nazi ... uh, stronghold? Outpost? Outpost. I suggest we gather the troops and move a little quicker, then find a defensible position before the storm hits. I don't want to be outdoors, separated, or exposed when that comes in. But, we have a job to do as well, so I think we'll need to send at least a few forward in any case."

Ed Radios Bob and tells him to call the sweepers forward to our current position. They can use the clickers to communicate. Signal "All Clear. Advance to point. (no living enemies and move up to where we are)" Meanwhile, he and the others will look for a suitable building to act as a sort of base of operations - preferably on the south side of the road, closer to where we are going. Keeping a careful eye out for hostile action, of course.

Edit: acquire from Tala one Gas Grenade. inventory updated.

"So, I'd like to take someone with a shotgun, and someone with a long rifle at least, when we move ahead. One radio needs to stay at base, and the opther should come with me. I've a mind to find out what's going on in those red roofed buildings down there."
