OOC: Sorry I took so long was eating dinner.


Winters was anxious to attack the harbor. It had been being planned for 2 weeks, and he was now prepared for the attack. Fortunately Winters was leading the attack because he didn't know about some of the other officers ideas. Being the highest ranking at the meeting before the attack. Well they had finally came to the ridge before the harbor. Winters ordered the Tank and its crew to stay back within the trees and he would call them in if needed. Winters had Private Atwood and Private Crow two of his platoon members set up the Mortar back in the trees. He then had the troops set up all of their equipment and line up on the ridge line he took a place in the middle. Winters then had a Browning 30 set up on each end of the ridge overlooking the town and the 3rd one set up in the middle. Then they began preparing for the attack by observing every movement the enemy made.

While unaware of an attack Daniel decided it was time to go on patrol. As him and his crew got into the Stug III and started the engine he thought to himself, 'it is going to be a wonderful day'. As he thought that they drove out of the garage and made a few laps around the parimeter. As they were doing that he pops his head out and lets the breeze blow through his hair but then he thought he noticed somthing so he stopped the tank and looked. Then he noticed a deer. then he said "Awww cute deer. Kill it." So they turn the tank towards the ridge where the deer is and they fired the machinegun and killed it.

Winters watched with his binoculars as the massive low tank prepared for it departure. He was worried that they were spotted, so he ordered the bazooka to be prepared to fire. The two soldiers set up the bazooka beside Winters. Then as the tank got closer, Winters became worried. When all of a sudden the tank stopped. Winter ordered the Bazooka man to aim for that tank and one false move to fire. Winters had noticed a deer near where the tank had stopped. He preyed it was the deer they saw not his attack force. Then the MG opened up and the deer fell to the ground. Winters couldn't have got any more lucky. He thought for sure they were spotted.

[Kurt Gerstein]

Kurt came running out side at the sound of the tank firing. He ran to meet the tank crew and see what it was tehy had shot at. The whole harbor was now alert not knowing what was going on. Then when teh tank got back Kurt noticed that it was just a deer that they had shot at. So Kurt went back into his office and god on the bases loud speaker and said "1sorgen Sie sich nicht die Behältermannschaft hatte nur eine wenig Zielpraxis an einem Rotwild gehen zurück zu, was Sie Soldaten taten!" Then he sat down at his desk and continued on what he was doing with paper work.

Translation #1
Don't worry the tank crew was only having a little target practice at a deer go back to what you were doing soldiers!

As the Stug was finishing its patrol Daniel decided to take the Stug back to the garage and clean it up. As they were driving back Daniel heres a sound and tells the tank to stop. As the tank stops he turns around and stands on the top of it and takes binoculars and notices something moving on the ridge. So he gets back in the tank and tells it to turn around and head rowards the ridge. So they tank turns around and starts moving towards the ridge.

Winters had been watching the tank turn around and head back to base. Then he saw the Commander talk to them. He thought for sure they had made it without being spotted. Then one of the allied soldiers stood up to take a leak. Winters shouted "SIT YOUR ASS DOWN" Then he noticed the Commander of the tank turn around and head for the ridge. He knew they had been spotted. Winters turned over to the soldier who stood up and said " what the hell were you thinking now look what you got us into, why don't you go down there and kill it with your finger now" , mumbling "IDIOT!" he yelled for the bazooka to get in position again. Then called for his radio operator, Lester P Lawrence . Winters had him radio for the tank to get in position as close as he could to the top of the ridge with out being seen. Lawrence said " Attention tank crew Alpha Commander would like you to position your self as close to the ridge as possible without being seen over" Then winters ordered Lawrence to tell the mortar team the coordinates of the out posts. Lester said " Mortar team Bravo commander would like you to prepare to bombard the coordinates 26.76.45.67 East, 43.86.52.67 North East and 83.75.74.37 South East, stand by for cue to fire, over" Then Winters waited for the Moment to strike.

As the Stug was going across the south bridge it stops and sits there. As it was sitting there Daniel gets out and takes out his binoculars and looks again but this time sees something worth while. Then he smiles and waves at the allied commander looking through his binoculars. Then he pickes up a radio transmitter and transmits a message to Col. Kurt.

[Austin]

Winters looked at the tank commander with shear aggression. He then reaches up and in stead of waving back gives the Commander the finger, and mumble something to himself as he sees the funny look on the commanders face turn serious. Winters ordered the mortar fire to begin barraging the OP's. Then BOOM! a loud Whistle then another BOOM! Which went on for several minutes. The town was in havoc the only people knowing the position of the allied troops was the tank commander. Then they waited for the perfect shot to take out the tank.

[Kurt Gerstein]

Kurt was sitting at his desk when a soldier came barging in with a message. He handed it to Colonel Kurt then Kurt thanked him and he left. Kurt read what the message said " There are allied soldiers positioned on the ridge attempting to take the harbor. As he finished he heard the defining CRACK! WHISTLE! BOOM! of allied mortars tearing into the OP's. Kurt got onto the loud speaker and said " The Allies are attacking from over the ridge!!!, hold this town at all costs!!!!!" Then prepared for battle.

[∬:Bruno von Haus]

As Daniel heard the whistle he got inside the tank and told the drive to back up. As the tank was backing up it was firing its machine guns and firing its main gun at the same time. Then Daniel told the driver to drive forward and he told the others to keep shooting. As this was happening the Siren went off and every german soldier got into position to fight. Then Daniel stops and turns the tank towards Winter and fires the main gun.

Ok, lets clear things up what has happened before we go to far to where we are all confused.


Winters mortar team has eliminated 1 guard tower killing 2 axis troops.

You will need to be more precise about where you are firing your main gun because its kinda hard to justify where you are firing when your turning and firing "towards the enemy"

You killed 2 Allied soldiers and just startled Winters


Here is an updated Map. (A Map helps for showing where you have shot etc.)



Thanks,

As Derrick got the confromation to move out they turned the tank on. As the engine of the tank turned over the heard the pop of the mortar and then an explosion. They knew something wasnt right as they got closer to the ridge there was another explosion and 2 soldiers go flying through the air. then They stopped and noticed a Stug III. as it was firing Derrick thought i dont think it sees us so Derrick tell the driver to back the tank up and go to the south side of the ridge and sneak behind the Stug. As they were doing that the Sug was still firing at the same location.As Derrick and his crew got in to position. Then they just sat there and derrick said to his crew "Let these shots count. One mistake and we are dead." As they sat there derrick shouted "FIRE!!!" *BOOM* as the tank fired it hit the Stug and immobilized it. Then derrick shouted again "FIRE!!!" *BOOM* then there was a second shot and this time Destoying the Stug III. Then Derrick and his crew gave out aloud sigh.

• Ok saying that you destroyed the tank is god modding, but its what I would have state any ways so the tank is destroyed but the crew is not all dead.
  
• The driver,loader and mechanic is dead and the radio man is so unconscious that he wont wake up then he dies when the tank explodes
  
• The major could wake up any moment along with the other two soldiers.
  

Thanks,

Winters had the bazooka aimed at the tank, he was ready to fire when all of a sudden BOOM!!! Derricks tank crew lit the tank up. First shot immobilizing it, then the second destroying it. Winters shouted with a loud "THATS HOW THE 101st Airborne does it YEE-HAAAW!!" Then he Asked his Platoon Sergeant Sgt. Smith to tell everyone on down the line to charge to the drainage's ditch at the sight of his smoke grenade. Smith ran down the line saying, "charge on the smoke!, Winters' orders!!, stop at the ditch dig in there!!" The smoke can made a loud Poof! then it sounded like the whole mountain was moving 20 101st Airborne soldiers went storming down the mountain. Then Winters came to the drainage ditch they jumped into the ditch and dug in. Winters had left the 3 Browning Machine Gunners on the hill to provide covering fire.
