Breakout Normandy Campaign - Patrol

The US squad consisted of 9 men including one man with a bazooka. Plenty of fire power. The mission was to scout out a farm house. Should be easy.




The US squad is entering the area from the right. Farm house is on the left.



A little too quiet.

Suddenly a squad of German paratroopers open up on the Americans!

7 German Paratroopers and a cat.

They take out the bazooka man and one other soldier. The US squad is down to seven men. With good shooting all the German paratroopers are killed or wounded.


On the hill on the approach to the farm, a small group of inexperienced Germans engage the US squad. They take advantage of good cover and get off some lucky shots taking down 3 Americans.

An inexperienced unit of Germans fire prone and in cover.

P38 Pilot lands near the farm house.

 

 

In the sky above, a fighter is on fire and the pilot bails out. An American pilot lands nearby. Hearing the gunfire he moves to see what's going on.

Waffen SS

Unfortunately a Waffen SS squad in the area also heard the gunfire. They sneak up behind the US squad and surprise them.

The Americans take casualties.

The US squad is able to kill a few of the Waffen SS including their leader, but are still outgunned.




The fighter pilot meets up with the last US soldier.

 The last 2 Waffen SS are advancing on the American position. The 2 Americans can't hold out for long.

"Hande Hoch!"

The last American is pinned and is jumped by the German. The US pilot has no choice but to surrender.

The US patrol mission failed. The US squad could not get to the farm house. The US squad lost 7 men, 1 man made it back badly wounded and 2 captured including the pilot.

Refighting the First Crusade 920 Years Later

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!"
