Funny, I just watched Speirs sprint across Foy to one side of the town and back

[rspeirs]

Best. Scene. Ever.

[William Luther]

Well, I'll join in on this.

[rspeirs]

Alright, lemme finish my neutral, and I will be ready. I will let you know tomorrow where you will start.

[William Luther]

I will be meeting you with 7 Privates, a Cpl, and 2 special units which I shan't name to keep the element of surpise. Mwahaha!

[rspeirs]

I be ready. You have the first post.


And if it helps with your post, the battle is in the town of Bourcy, Northeast of Bastogne. The Date is January 13th, and the attacking Americans are of the 327th PIR and elements of the 4th Armor, under Creighton Abrams, the 2AD, under Patton, and the 3ID.

[Nathan Whyte]

Cool. Can we have a time limit, either 72 hour or one week, whichever is better for you.

[rspeirs]

72 works fine for me.

[Nathan Whyte]

Cool, and if Heiko passes he'll be the mod, if he doesn't JT will be, right?

[heinz]

Indeed, Indeed.

[Heiko Alkema]

For clarification, when you say "snowy" in the original post do you mean currently snowing or just snow on the ground? Big difference in a night battle.

[Nathan Whyte]

I'm taking this as snow on the ground, and from that I based my post.

I know, that's the reason why I'm asking.

[rspeirs]

My bad, I meant that light snow was falling. Sorry.

[Sergeant Brandon Martin]

Is it too late to join? I'd love to get involved in some combat.
