((I mean, there's a lot of lightning and rain going on over there right now, so take an umbrella. and if you manage to clear the fort wile we ... whatever it is we think we're ding over here ... then you get all the GLORY.))

[Tiruin]

Await explosions, ready Luger for shooting leftover Nazis. In cover of course, like a good ambusher.

"Everyone get ready and be quiet! Shoot whatever survives the bombs!

Right now the plan is to kill these Nazis. We're still trying to find some Frenchies to give us info on the bunker. We'll regroup wit hthe others after, but we can't wait out the storm. It ain't natural. We're gonna hafta kill it."

With [Leodanny's character] as her aide and spotter, Tala mentions to Edward (and Radioman) that the storm could likely be a cover front for the Nazi resupply and rearmament, or counterattack to the Allied forces.

She deeply suggests as an order to be patient with the assault before commencing attack, to pick your targets, and to take note of important persons of note. The attack will be sounded by...a birdwhistle, much like how the rain isn't affecting them right now, right before the explodey time.

"I've everything in sight. On your mark, Edward."

Ambush time! Use birdwhistle to accompany before the explosives.
Leodanny's guy is helping me snipe, if he lacks a sniper rifle, in probably my attack roll or recover to fire and shoot again.

Ah![ oh wait, you ain't Nazis. Spaced out a moment there.
help tala snipe, I guess

He is ordered to throw a gas grenade if that would aid our assault, if possible--unless there is rain above the convoy site.

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.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name:Toby Boon, 20

Physical and Mental Description: Brown, almost black hair, exceptionally blue eyes, white skin, and numerous gunpowder burns. 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.

[piecewise]

I'll assume it's too late for latecomers, and observe with amusement as a WW2 nerd.

Sure, just be aware I don't know a lot about WWII so I will probably make mistakes.

Crawl across the open field under the cover of rain, once fairly close to the houses, stand up and draw the trench knife in case of surprise Nazi.  Assuming no Nazis, head south into the woods, and then start traveling west, parallel to the treeline but not too close.  Eventually Simon will cross back over into that patch of forest between the black roofed houses and the reddish ones, to scout out those buildings.

Since this wasn't specified last turn, how steep is the northern slope, and how heavily fortified?  Could the whole team reasonably get up there, to avoid the killzone that is the eastern side?  Or if not, could a small, stealthier team make it up to flank or disable guns?

Edit: If a lone Nazi is encountered, Simon will try to knock him unconscious, rather than murdering from the getgo.  Murder is a valid solution to multiple Nazis, though.

((Very tempted to have Simon stealth his way up and start clearing bunkers with his knife.  But that's not teamwork, bah...))

GLORY: 105!

Current mission accomplishments (So I don't have to go back over things later):

• Scouted out the eastern Nazi positions, has not informed anyone yet.
• 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.

The northern slope is much steeper than the more west facing side, starting with a 25 foot sheer cliff before a steep slope up to the top. Getting a whole team up there would be possible but difficult, especially if you're trying to remain incognito.

You lay face down and drag yourself forward, sliding slowly through the grass until you make it to the back of the nearest building. You draw your knife and are about to continue when you notice that the blade is arcing, little glowing sparks dancing along its length.  You look around and back at the pair of houses you were intent on running to. One, which is taller than the other, is alight in saint elmo's fire. and crackling with discharges. The world seems to go silent and suck in a breath before the house is struck by lightning. Not once, but some dozen times in such rapid succession that they might as well have been instantaneous, one massive bolt.  The house detonates like it was hit by a 1000 lb bomb, exploding into a cloud of wooden shrapnel.
[1v4][life -2, after helmet bonus]
A spray of wooden knives slam into you; a few manage to hit tip first and embed theselves inches into your arm, leg and side. The shockwave knocks you to the ground an instant later.

Moniter the radio, and keep watching. Start singing a little song as I make it up about a brave hero who has to watch a house.

Await explosions, ready Luger for shooting leftover Nazis. In cover of course, like a good ambusher.

Edit: If I have to manually trigger the explosions, do so when the vehicles are on top of them - first vehicle in convoy is priority.

Edit 2, also, if I need to signal the others to begin, do that too. I'd assumed that the explosions would be signal enough, though.

"Everyone get ready and be quiet! Shoot whatever survives the bombs!

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.

Right now the plan is to kill these Nazis. We're still trying to find some Frenchies to give us info on the bunker. We'll regroup wit hthe others after, but we can't wait out the storm. It ain't natural. We're gonna hafta kill it."

With [Leodanny's character] as her aide and spotter, Tala mentions to Edward (and Radioman) that the storm could likely be a cover front for the Nazi resupply and rearmament, or counterattack to the Allied forces.

Ed waits till the convoy is directly over the explosive and then detonates it. At this point things become a bit confused. The blast lifts the first truck at the same time it snaps it in half and throws it backwards. It lands on the cab of the truck behind it and then the team starts firing at anyone left standing. Bullets tear through the air and the nazis fall in the crossfire. They jerk and twitch as bullets tear them apart from multiple angles, blowing out sprays of red as they fall.  Then Will opens up with his flame thrower and in one sweep covers the entire scene in burning jellied gasoline. The last few nazis stagger, screaming or oddly silent, out of the inferno and collapse. Everything grows silent save for the patter of rain and the constant thunder.

After crossing the street, Bob used his clicket to signify to anyone near enough that he was retreating. After that, he'd wait a bit before moving south again through the trees next to the road.

Signal to Denver that Bob is moving out, then wait to meet up. Then head south in the trees along the road, BAR out. Radio out to Main group telling them what we're doing

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.

"The hell was that?" Bob muttered at the sound of explosions. A little concerned, he broadcasted over the radio: "You alright over there? Heard some explosions."

"Anyway, I'm thinking we'll turn east now, start trying to get in a bit closer to the fort, alright?"

Cross the road and head east with Denver. Make sure to look both ways before crossing roads, and be ready to shoot if seen by enemies.

Allow me to just clarify that it is in fact far too late for me to join?
At some unknown point in the future i.e. mission after this one?
I've finally found a ww2 thread for RTD so I would greatly appreciate being able to join.

Report results back to base. Then, Carefully peek out to see if any retaliation is coming, if not go see if there's anything to loot at the scene of the carnage. Make sure to bring my pipe in case magic storm lightning needs to be grounded.

You are absolutely still able to join, and so far as I know we're able to put you into this mission.

Oh. Alright. The spoiler tagged post is the one with my resume, as it were. Unless someone thinks there is any sort of need for a specific class (i.e. AT specialist etc.) I'm a 'not getting shot doing something brave is the better part of valour' rifleman.
EDIT: I'll just drop it here, actually

Spoiler: Rifleman 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 gunpowder burns. 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 pretending to be dead than make some sort of brave ambush that takes out 6 Krauts and a half-track before getting sawn in half by an MG42.
