D-day + 1. Germans are retreating and the panzer divisions have finally been let off the leash by the Fuhrer. Allies are trying to get their armour through, but must clear the way of Germans to do it. The two factions meet at the fulcrum point: Saint Mere Eglise.

The first posts will be made by the respective commanders: Sturmbannfuhrer Horst von Epp and Colonel Richard Winters. No offensive action may be made in the first post. Following the first post will be the faction of the first commander to post i.e. Winters posts first, Kennith posts directly after von Epp.

Each side will make their posts in the following order:
-Commanders
-Hoffmann
-Wagemuller
-Stolz
-Hallam
-Kennith
-von Epp
-Hoffmann
-Winters etc.

I will be modding this battle as an outsider, so my decisions are, for the most part, final. However, if I've done something completely lucrative, do not hesitate to point it out to me.

I will not favour posts that do not have much detail and I will probably be a little more harsh for realism. There are four possible ways this battle can end: Allies defeat axis forces, axis forces retreat, Axis forces defeat allies, and allies retreat.

So here it goes. First post goes to Winters or von Epp. Be sure to be very descriptive in your setup, otherwise it could come down unfavourably.

Thanks,

OOC: May sound like I'm god modding but I am just positioning my troops, as the Allied Commander. Also since I have a Communication I can call in artillery which means my Mortar crew has a radio, forgot to include that in the description in shop .



Winters stopped for a moment to gaze at the beautiful abandoned town. He hadn't seen such beautiful towns before, and peaceful. Back where he had lived in the midst of the bustling city. He pulled his binoculars out of their slick leather case. Winters put the rubber ring of the binoculars up to his eyes, and peered through the filthy lenses. Scanning every window corner of the town he made the decision it was safe to enter.

He stopped before entering the peaceful town and sent to soldiers Private Boyd, and Private Carter with the mortar, around the outside of the town. They were ordered to set up in the midst of the woods. They needed to dig a Mortar Pit about 5 feet around and 3-5 feet deep. They took the steal tube of the mortar and the ammo crate they had shared caring in and set it near a tree. They had decided this would be a decent place to dig. They began digging the soft earth with the Shovel Winters had given them. The shovel slid into the soft dirt like a hot knife through a stick of butter, lucky for them the earth was soft. So being good conditions (not to hot outside around 70 Degrees.) and soft moist dirt to dig in. When the hole was finally finished they set the steal mortar into the deep soil pit. Then reached over and grabbed the ammo crate and threw it into the pit to. Then Private Boyd, and Carter grabbed their Lee Enfield's, and jumped into the pit. Then they awaited there orders over the radio.

Winters had arrived into town. He sent Sgt. Kenneth and his men into the first building and ordered them to set up an MG in North Eastern window. He then continued on to the next building where he orders Captain Hallam's men to set up their MG in the most Northern corner, and told them to hold the building.

Winters then took his men to a set of buildings, he ordered Private Atwood,Sgt. Smith,Private Martin,and Private Hobbs into the most South Western building and to hold that building.

He then took the 30 Cal, and Communication Officer,Lester P Lawrence "Comm",Medic, Pvt Eugene Roe "Doc" , and Private Boyd into the North Eastern Building. He had the 30 Cal. Set up in the Northern Window of the building. Then he walked around back to all of the stations to do a check and make sure everything was set.

Please wait, for the head of the Axis Force tp post and position his troops before posting.
