It was a another sunny day at OSA headquarters, located under the city of Sacramento, when RBHDB was called into operations.

 

Commander Kullman: "A gentleman by the name of Obersturmbahnfuhrer Schwein is on the move to steal a secret weapon. Your job is to find him and stop him." 

 

Back at the Barking Wall Spider

Back at the Barking Wall Spider Tavern in Happy Hollow, our heroes Kurt and Iain reshash the events from the day before.

Kurt returned the jewels to the owner and was paid 30 gold pieces. 8 pieces went to the darwves for helping out and 3 went to the doctor for healing Iain.

Inside the Barking Wall Spider Tavern

The distinguished gentleman next to our table overheard us talking about our success and was curious to know if we could help him out. He explained that when he was young, beings came into his house and stole a family treasure. His great great great great great grandfather had acquired this piece from a crusade against the Orcs. He heard rumors that this treasured artifact is in the lands somewhere around Happy Hollow.

I asked, "What is it?"

The gentleman answered, " a carved wood tribal mask."

Iain: "That's it?"

Gentleman: "That's it. I'll pay a 100 gold pieces to each of you if you can bring it back to me. Start off visiting Pete's Creek - the first clue should be there. Good Luck - you'll need it."

Iain: "Since we can't do anything until tomorrow, let go checkout the Bawdy House."

I decide it's going to take 6 clues to find the Carved Wood Tribal Mask.

The Farm

"The CO wants us to scout a farm for Germans before the rest of our units move into the area. Here's the map of the farm. We'll enter the farm for the north east corner."

"Each building need to be checked out."

 



The squad silently approaches the farm.

It's a nerve-racking feeling when you know bullets can start flying at any time. You never know if your name is on one.

Izzy says, " I know they're there, I can feel it!"

Bill is on point.

He sees movement from the center of the farm.

A squad of German paratroopers appear!

Bill spots them first and as soon as we get into position we serve them hot lead!





One paratrooper immediately goes down in the hail of bullets, Out Of the Fight.

The remaining paratroopers rush forward to the hay loft,
spraying us with their machine pistols.

Hit the dirt!!

Dick and Kurt toss a couple grenades at the hiding paratroopers.

Kurt moves to check out the Germans.

One is still alive! Kurt is wounded and is Out Of the Fight.

The remaining German paratroopers are all shot down.

It's a matter of clearing each building on the farm. The main house is clear.



The squad moves towards the barn. They hear a noise...

Only a couple of pigs.

From the barn window, Germans open up on us! We hit the deck!

  

They are Waffen SS!

With superior fire power on the barn the Germans duck for cover and we were able
to toss a couple grenades into the building. Only one German survived.

Bill checks the pigsty. Nothing.

With one prisoner and 2 pigs we head back to our lines. The farm is cleared.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Merry Christmas

 

Merry Christmas from the squad.

 

 

 

Recover Recon Pilot and Camera, 2nd Attempt, Part 2

The squad makes their way towards the small village where the pilot may be hiding out.

"We need to check the building on the hill for Germans. Dick, Bill, Smitty, will go up the hill,
 the rest of us will circle around to the front."



The rest of the squad provide cover as Bill, Dick and Smitty move in.

It's empty! Bill, Dick, and Smitty take positions in house as we move towards the village.

Suddenly a cowboy appears!

Don't Shoot! Don't Shoot!

He claims to be the American pilot we've been searching for. He says he saw us approaching from the window. We ask him some questions to make sure he's American.

 

Which team won the World Series in 1942? What's the capitol of California? Who's Dick Tracy?

He's Lt. "Tex," from Texas. "Ok, let's get back to our lines!"

 

 

 

 

Recover Recon Pilot and Camera, 2nd Attempt, Part 1

"Ok, we're going to give this another shot, even though last time we almost didn't make it back. Forget the medic this time, we take another gun in his place. And we got another tech to retrieve the camera.

 

"This time we come in from the south west corner and go straight up to where the recon plane should be. Let's saddle up."

 

 

A bird's eye view of the terrain. If the pilot is not at the crash sight, he could be hiding out in the village in the north west corner.

 

 

Seems a little quiet in the village. Only a cat. (actually a PEF, Possible Enemy Force)

 

Hopefully we don't have a repeat of what happened last time.

Let's move out! Keep your eyes open for the Germans.

 

 

Dick takes the point. I'm right behind him. Behind me, Louigi Cantoni with the BAR, the Army tech, Izzy Cohen, and Perm

 

 

Half the squad goes up the hill. I take the other half around the hill. On top of the hill we spot the crashed plane.

 

No pilot in sight.

 

 

A few seconds after spotting the plane, a squad of Germans come up the opposite side of the hill!

 

 

"Amerikaner!"

 

 

Both sides open fire.

 

Kurt drops the first German.

 

 

Dick spots the German squad leader in the open and guns him down at close range.

 

 

The German squad leader is waving his men forward just before getting shot.

 

 

After the German squad leader is shot down, three of the German soldiers flee!

 

"Scheisse! Wir mussen weg gehen!"

 

 

The fleeing Germans fire as they flee.

Perm is KIA

 

 

A few of our guys check the German bodies for souvenirs.

Bill finds a loaf of bread. Dick takes a flask of schnapps off the German squad leader. Louigi Cantoni finds a Swiss army knife from another German.

 

When we get to the plane we provide cover while the tech recovers the camera. 

 

Izzy and the tech successfully recover the camera.

 

Now we have to find the pilot. "Let's check out the village..."

 

To be continued.

 

 

The Cat and the Game Table

My cat always wants to see what's happening on top of the table.
