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.

"Yeah, we found a way in around back. Though it seems to have an infestation of some kind of angry metal wasp? Or someone is shooting at us but that honestly seems kind of far fetched. Over."

You go and push the door open a bit again and, as before, someone sprays rounds down the hall. You let the door's weight close it and step back, wary of any ricochets.

"Yep, definitely metal wasps."

Point at William’s Flamethrower. Point at the door. Nod. Offer to open the door partially while he attacks.

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.

You gesture, quite clearly at indicating what you think is a very reasonable plan.  William rolls his eyes and makes several very rude gestures that seem to indicate that you should perform certain actions with Radio.  You're both offended and honestly a little confused about one of those...what does that...Oh, with your tongue?  Huh.

William takes his extra flamethrower tank and walks up to the door with it in his left hand. [4] He pants his feet, aligns his body just right, and then kicks the door.  It swings open about 3/4ths of the way and he uses his left hand and the weight of his body to lift the flamethrower canisters and hurl it down the hall in the direction of the bullets, all without exposing any more than a bit of his hand.  The door slams closed a few moments later and maybe a half second after that there is a tremendous, if muffled, BANG! as the no doubt bullet riddled canister detonates.  The door bulges out a bit and smoke and flame licks out through the gaps.  William then does an exaggerated showman's pose and says "Ta-da" in a monotone.

"You just wasted a tank of fuel for something that might have been done with one burst!" you whisper to him in an angry hiss.

"Yeah, but I did it without sticking my face into a bunch of fucking bullets. Let the tax payers worry about my expenses, I'll worry about my skin and the continuing integrity there of."

((see, great minds think alike, eh, Egan?))
continue doing my whole loading shells and not drawing attention to myself as long as I don't have any cunning plans thing

You sit in your loader chair and brace for what is SURELY a bad decision.

You settle in to start machine gunning. Hopefully targets will present themselves.

"Woo!  Even trees can't stop us!  We're coming, Radioman, just hold tight and we'll blast 'em all to smithereens!"

Keep that handaxe.  What risk is it, and does it count as a melee weapon, or exotic?

Otherwise, keep on commanding, assist Alice with driving if needed.  Not much to do until we get into shooting range.

  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.
• Was "commander" of the tank while it managed to destroy two bunkers with the main gun.
• Was bravely riding outside the tank as it charged into scorched earth, and then tumbled down the side of a hill.  Was only kept from being thrown free by Parrish, but hey, it's still pretty glorious.  "Glorious" is almost like a synonym of "suicidally brazen"!
• Helped free his tank from several dastardly trees, while within earshot of Nazi machineguns (pointlessly) filling the air with lead.

(2 risk, melee)
"ONWARD GUIDANCE GOBLIN! MURDER AWAITS, BUT GLORY WAITS FOR NO ONE!"

"I'm far too tall for a goblin." She mutters.

You slide up right next to her face and scream in her ear, "ONWARD ORIENTATION OGRE!"

You give Alice a gentle, persuading bonk on the fancy hat with the back of the ax.  The spurs will come later.

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.

[3]
"Its at a point like this" Ed says, rotating the turret to get a good look at the main door of the bunker, "That most people would say something witty or dramatic. But I'm not really good at that sort of thing so I'm just gonna blow the fuck out of you."

And blow the fuck out of them he did. The armor piercing round punches straight through the double steel doors, leaving a lovely hole right in the center. The resulting blast inside the bunker throws light, smoke and debris out every single firing slit near the door and the shooting promptly dies away.  However, the rattle of bullets is replaced by something far worse. Thunder. And not normal "Crack...BANG" thunder. No this thunder is constant, violent, and rising, like a string of firecrackers the size of battleships going off somewhere overhead.  The swirling spike of clouds is coated in spiderwebs of lightning, flashing so bright and constant that you can't even look at it without immediately turning away, eyes burning and dazzled.  The lightning crawls down towards the point of the clouds, condensing.

"FUUUUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK! FUUUUUUCK!"
after pausing to reload what I hope is either an incendiary or HE shell, I set aside a moment to panic about the deafening high caliber guns noises, and then open the loader's hatch just enough to see the sky before immediately regretting doing so. I say something to Alice about damn torpedoes, and going full speed ahead. I tell one of the mchinegunner's to spray down the cloud, as it is clearly hostile. Grab all my gear and strap it on just in case something goes horribly wrong and I need to bug out of the tank

in case that's not quite clear, I am screaming at Alice to get us inside before the hostile cloud kills is all.

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.

"Jeez, nobody told me that the nazis were lightning wizards or whatever. Why do we keep running into this shit?"
Alice sighs.
"...Right. Because we're the 888th. I hate this job."

Ram it!
"Anyway, what do you bet we can stop the lightning by crushing the summoning circle or whatever under our treads? Maybe now that it's in motion we can't stop it. If that were the case the smart option here would be to run away.
Hahaha!
Ridiculous, right?!"

Frikkin gun it into that damn bunker. Identify what's controlling the lightning and smash it!

"Damn!  I knew we should've shot those clouds, they've been hounding me all day!  Alice?  You know what to do!  Ed?  Ah, return fire?"

Lean over Alice, and in a very relaxed, calm tone, tell her she really needs to not fuck up driving into the bunker, or we'll all die horribly.  If this is not sufficient to prevent her from fucking up, stomp on her gas-pedal foot, and wrestle with whatever control surfaces steer the tank.  Because multiple people arguing over the controls will totally save us, yes.

Edit: Oh yes, and draw the trench knife as soon as Alice starts talking about stabbing.  If she starts to act on that desire, beat her to the punch, by punching her head with it, while calling for Ed to take over driving.

  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.
• Was "commander" of the tank while it managed to destroy two bunkers with the main gun.
• Was bravely riding outside the tank as it charged into scorched earth, and then tumbled down the side of a hill.  Was only kept from being thrown free by Parrish, but hey, it's still pretty glorious.  "Glorious" is almost like a synonym of "suicidally brazen"!
• Helped free his tank from several dastardly trees, while within earshot of Nazi machineguns (pointlessly) filling the air with lead.

"Permission to speak freely, commander?"

[randomgenericusername]

Wait, I have been assuming I had 5 tanks and that each was one burst. How many bursts do I actually get per tank and how many tanks and uses would I actually have left if I have only fired it once?

Enter the fort.

"'Course, Alice!  I ain't one of the stuffy brass bastards, say whatever you like!"

((@RGU  Flamethrower fuel tanks are big, bulky backpack-sized canisters.  Google it; you'll understand.  You get one, and only one, which has enough fuel for five turns worth of streaming.  Since you used that single tank as a bomb, you now have no ammo at all.))

[Egan_BW]

"Right. So, like, what you're doing right now. Do you want me to stab you?"

[syvarris]

"Nope!  But from what I've seen during all our missions, you're kinda bad at stabbing people, while I'm pretty good.  And also I have a lot more knives and I'm standing over you.  Also there's a hellish lightning cyclone that's right above our heads and I kinda figure you'll worry about that before stabbing me, and I figure a good ol' fashion stabbing is easier to deal with than that.  Why?"

[Egan_BW]

"Oh, I just wanted to stab you just now, that's all."
