[Mac Bargett]

“Alright, enemy resistance has be more stubborn then expected, but as long as we stay low, keep a clear head, and remember our training and the Good Lord Almighty, we shall be victorious.” Staff Sergeant Bargett tried to calm his demoralized troops as the men reviewed the map. It was quickly handed back to him and he used it while he gave his orders, “Ok, we will divided into 3 fire teams and move to clear the buildings below our position. Corporal, your team will have 3 privates and will be on point. Your men’s duties will be to protect the intersections. As you move down the alley, leave a private at each crossroads here, here, and here.” Mac pointed out the positions as the Corporal chose his men out of the privates he arrived with. The Staff Sergeant then directed the orders to the chosen privates, “ Your duty is to watch these secondary streets for any German activity, pay careful attention to any windows, doorways, or other openings. If you see any enemies or are fired upon, keep up enough suppressive fire to prevent them from attacking as the Sergeant’s and my fire teams clear out the buildings. So move out, Corporal. The Sergeant’s team will follow you shortly”

The first team, lead by the new Corporal filed out of the hut and Mac switched his attention to the other NCO, “Sergeant, your objective will be simpler, but much more difficult. You privates should attach bayonets, I fully doubt there will be any sniping involved.” The privates did as they were told and Mac continued, “You and 4 privates will move down like the Corporal but stack up at this building and prepare to enter. I want you to be as silent as possible until you hear either noises inside the building or any gunfire. Then enter and clear the building, if it is empty, move down and enter the next, if not, stay there after you have neutralized the threat. That is all, Sergeant.” The Sergeant and four of the privates then also filed out the shack to complete their objectives. As he stared at the last two privates, Mac put the map away and also started for the door, “I guess you two are with me.”
--
Frightened about being exposed outside, the MG gunner returns to the building.
--

After they left the shack, the Corporal led the way down the alleyway and stopped at the first intersection. It looked clear, there was a windowless building to one side and a wall covering the other. So after a short check to make sure there was no way that there could be a German sniper or something watching over the intersection, the fire team advances, but leaves of their own behind to be a watchdog over the streets. As the Sergeant’s fire team followed behind them, the smaller team quietly passed by the closed door, hoping there were no Germans inside. And as the Sergeant’s men stacked up against the very door and prepared to open it, another one of the Corporal’s men stopped at the next intersection, and as he crouched, peered at the next road. “Windows,” he quietly told the Corporal, and he carefully watched the shuttered openings through his rifle sights as his comrades darted past the road. The Corporal and his remaining man rushed as quickly and quietly they could until they reached the next bit of cover and the private checked the next street. “Another shuttered window” he also told the Corporal as he leaned back into cover. Luckily they didn’t need to worry about that then.
--
The two privates quickly followed the Staff Sergeant’s stride as they snuck past another private watching the courtyard and an until squad watching a door. “There’s a couple of windows there” the private watching the second street whispered to Mac, and his superior whispered back for him to cover them, and the private crouched back out to watch the shutters as Mac and his privates followed the Corporal’s footsteps.

The next private they came up also told Mac about the windows, and again he told the private to cover them as Mac and the Privates, with the Corporal quickly dash over to the next building and into the door on the other side. The fire team slowly walked down the hallway, first the Corporal, then the Staff Sergeant, and the Privates. As the underlings watched the flanks, Mac headed Thompson first into the main room, where two German soldiers were standing at a machinegun. “Halt! Don’t move!” Mac shouted with his gun pointed towards them. But it looked like they were moving, and Mac and the Private blew them away. Then the Corporal moved to watch the stairs, incase there was anyone in the top floor.
--

As the shots ran out, the Private standing right next to the Sergeant quickly opened their door and gave the NCO room to lean into the doorway and fill the room with a full 30-round mag of lead. He then stepped back to reload, allowing 2 more private to take his place, and with the other private and his rifle, shoot anyone in the room still standing. Then, as their clips shot out with the distinctive cling, they rushed in to finish the job with bayonets, covered by the other privates who took their place at the door.

Alrighty, here we go.

**New Map**

Staff Sergeant Bargett

- Everything was going all hunky dory... until Mac tried to cross the road. Mac and the gang slipped by the first time as the Germans were focused on the north, but as they attempted to cross the street a lone German defender to the south spotted them and popped off a shot hasty shot which went wide. The nearest private rounded the corner and returned fire wounding the German private but setting the plan into motion sooner than Bargett intended.

- In accordance with his orders, the sergeant and his team began to clear the house. The startled Germans were caught completely off guard. The sergeant killed the two nearest privates out-right and wounded one more before clearing the doorway and reloading.

- The two Americans privates moved into position to fire. The unwounded German private and corporal managed to fire back; the German privates shot impacted the wall, while the corporal's shot caught one of the Americans in the throat. One shot was all they got as the semi-automatic American rifles poured rounds into the room wounding both Germans. The Americans charged in to the room and easily dispatched the crippled men.

- In the MG house, the Germans were alerted to the American presence by gunfire to the east. As the Americans entered the room and started shouting the loader fired a single shot, hitting the private in the stomach. A moment later, Bargett's Thompson dispatched both Germans.

- The private with the stomach wound is going into shock and isn't making any noise.

- The success of the assault, despite a few causalities have renewed the men's faith in their commander.

OberleutnantGoethe

- In response to the gunfire, the nearest privates in the central house have moved to the windows. The western MG team has also shifted to better cover the east.

- The defenders have heard the gunfire but are unaware of the what has actually happened, thus their morale hasn't taken a hit.

- Reinforcements have arrived from the North. The Bunkerbuster's body alerted them to danger and they moved away from the road taking shelter behind the western building. They are unsure of the situation but the corporal is keeping his troops calm.

[Mac Bargett]

With nothing better to do, the new replacements enter the nearest building and the wounded Sergeant was relieved about the extra manpower.

--
With the building cleared, S/Sgt. Bargett and the corporal rushed to the aide of the downed private. Although he looked dead and lifeless, Mac could still feel a pulse and calmly whispered to the limp soldier, “Don’t worry private, you are still alive. This wound isn’t going to kill you, just lie there and keep on living and the corporal and I will keep you stay. But first we need to secure the area.” And with that, the Staff Sergeant leapt from the private’s side and led the corporal out into the yard.

Over the duel between the American and the wounded German, Mac gave his next orders, “I’m taking out that kraut sniper, cover me as I cross this street, if it’s clear, I want you to go to our friend back there and keep him comfortable, clean the wound, bandage it if you can.”

Both men crouched beneath the wall and peered around it. There was nothing out of the ordinary, aside from the continuous, almost rhythmic volley of M1 and K98 fire just a few feet away. The corpeal kept watch though, incase there were Germans watching from the numerous shuttered windows facing them as Mac rushed across the road, He then quickly moved down the wall, keeping his head below the window and praying the building was vacant of men with hostile intent. There wasn’t and he safety reached the next alleyway, so as he crept up on the closed door the corporal reentered the building to give his comrade company, comfort, and a nice clean bandage.

As he neared the hostile building, Mac had kept a count of the shots exploding through the air. To counter his private’s repeated covering fire, there was only a single bang ever few seconds, implying a single bolt action rifle. So Mac thought it would be easy as he threw open the door and fired a burst into the first thing he saw that resembled a human, which was the German attempting to return fire with his puny K98.

Better late than never.

**New Map***

Staff Sergeant Bargett

- The fresh reinforcements have brought up the aggregate morale of the Western Americans. Though having so many people in such a small place has them worried about their safety.

- The wounded trooper is staring blankly at the corporal's face and not responding. The corporal has decided that the best thing he can do is to talk to him to keep him comfortable as the private's life fades from his eyes.

- With the proper suppressive fire in place, Mac successfully snuck up on the wounded German soldier and killed him with a short burst of automatic fire. The fire-fight attracted a lot unwanted attention, however.

Oberleutant Goethe

- The exchange of rifle-fire drew the attention of those in the central house. The private in the southeastern window caught a glimpse of an American hanging around the low wall across from him and brought the unsuspecting trooper into his sights. One round was all he managed to fire before the more alert American sergeant next to the unlucky soldier grabbed him and dragged him back to safety. The trooper didn't escape unharmed, though. The German's bullet ripped through his right wrist, leaving it dangling from his forearm barely attached by a few tendons. Its an extremely painful wound and the body of a fallen comrade right next to him isn't helping anything. The soldier is panicking but the presence of the sergeant is keeping him relatively quiet.

- To the south, the three privates near the tank barely heard the gunshots over the tank's growling. Without anyone around to tell them otherwise, the trio moved toward the fight to investigate. With the open door alerting them to trouble, two have moved up to and taken cover behind a low wall, and the the other has moved to the hedgerow.

- The smoke grenade has finally petered out.

Goethe's turn has been skipped.

To keep this battle alive, I will be replacing Felix/Goethe with another Axis player. This replacement will take full command of the Axis forces and Felix will no longer be permitted to post in this battle.

The new Axis player will enter the battle after Mac's next post and will be allowed to make hostile actions immediately.

[Mac Bargett]

As Staff Sergeant Bargett reloaded his Thompson, he walked over to the dead German and then tossed the K98 bolt action rifle out the window, as a sign to show the private outside that that battle had ended. Then, as he started walking back to the door, that Mac heard the low rumble of a diesel engine. Halftrack or tank, he couldn’t tell, and he didn’t want to know either. He just wanted to get away from there as fast as possible and get near his own men. So he rushed out of the building and again took the path back to the building where he left the corporal to keep the wounded private company.

Now the private looked on death’s door, the wound must have been much worst then first assumed. Mac took the corporal aside to speak with him privately.
“You can see it too, can’t you? We did the best we could, but we are not medics, and there aren’t any friendly ones anywhere near us. The private is going to die. The best we can do is keeping him comfortable. It’s what he decides”
And the corporal went back to kneeling by the dying man as Mac kept guard. Back up north, the men beneath the injured Sergeant moved themselves apart by a few of them moving into different rooms.

Sorry for the delay.

**New New Map**

Staff Sergeant Bargett

- Rushing out into the open, in full view of three men, not such a great idea. All three fired as Mac came out of the door. The two closest troopers scored hits. One round cut through Mac's left thigh nearly avoiding any major arteries and the second grazed the left side of his chest passing between his arm and ribcage ripping his tunic and searing the flesh underneath.

- Despite his wounds, Mac made it back to his intended destination without further incident as the three German soldiers did not give chase because they aren't sure if there are more Americans in the building that Mac came out of.

SS-Obersturmfuehrer Anday

- Speeding up from the south, Anday has arrived in a kubelwagen with a mounted MG34 along with a sergeant and two corporals as reinforcements.

- Oberleutenant Goethe will now be considered an NPC sniper and fully controllable by Anday. He is, of course, armed with the bolt-action 98k instead of the standard G43.

[OOC: The brown circles around some privates are hastily dug foxholes, around half a meter deep.]

These last days had been some of the worst in Anday's life at all, although the man had already witnessed a lot of uncomfortable situations before. Since the Allied forces had landed at the beaches of Normandy, the SS- officer had maybe slept a whole of three hours. Desperately, the German forces dug their claws into the French earth, trying to sustain the tons of material that the Americans had brought with them. But nothing seemed to keep the enemy from slowly advancing toward the inner country.

Nervously hauling the smoke of his cigarette deeply inside his lungs, Anday sat besides the driver in his Kübelwagen and tried to bring his long legs into a more comfortable position. He had been up all throughout the night and now the fresh air coming through the open window of the car felt more than welcome to the man. Scharführer (Sergeant) Grün forcefully tromped the pedal, making the Kübel dash through the French countryside with a loudly yawning engine. All the time, Anday strained observed the surroundings of the small, cobbled road for any suspect movements. The radio connection between the divisional command and the German forces in Carentan had gotten cut off earlier this morning. And now those worried pencil- pushers had sent Anday, only accompanied by some of his best NCOs, to investigate the situation in the small town.

Even before the first houses of Carentan could be seen at the horizon, the loud, dry cracks of infantry weapons sounded through the hot, summer air. Instinctively, Grün lowered the speed of the car and the concentration of the soldiers raised to the maximum level. Quickly, Anday discovered a partly camouflaged Panzer IV standing besides the road and a single infantrymen who waved his hands over his head. The breaks of the Kübelwagen squeaked loudly, when the car came to a sudden halt next to the tank and within a few seconds, the officer jumped out of his vehicle.

The face of the single German soldier showed off a very serious expression. He wore the insignias of the German parachuters and now Anday witnessed the big, bulky radio equipment standing on the grassy ground besides the man. Instantly, the Fallschirmjäger turned to Anday and started to speak without making a pause at all: "Herr Obersturmführer, gut sie zu sehen. Die Amerikaner greifen die Stadt bereits von Norden aus mit starken Infanteriekräften an. Noch halten wir, aber wir haben hier ja über Funk alles mitgehört und es sieht nicht gut aus. Die Yankees haben unsere rechte Flanke bereits komplett ausgehoben. Haben Sie Verstärkungen für Uns mitgebracht?" The tall Hungarian needed some moments to cope with all these information in the short time, but within seconds he realized, that only immediate actions could save the day for the German defenders here in this goddamned French hell.

Giving his low voice a hard tone, the SS- officer shouted his orders at the soldiers around him: "Schicken Sie den Männern im Mittleren der Gebäude per Funk den Befehl, sich zur Straße hin abzusetzen, bevor der Ami anfängt Ihre Flanke aufzurollen." The bulky radio uttered some atmospheric sounds for some moments, before the radioman finally reached his counterpart. "Vogel, Sie und Rottenführer Schmidt schnappen sich den Kübel und umfahren diese Häuser dort südlich. Bringt den Wagen rechts der Gebäude in Stellung und macht das MG bereit, Ihr gebt dem Rest von Uns Feuerschutz auf der rechten Seite." Within seconds the driver of the Kübel changed and the car rolled on, leaving a small cloud of dust behind it.

After Anday had taken a short break to observe the end of the cobbled road with his binoculars, he turned to Scharführer Grün and continued his commands, pointing his hand on three privates that dug behind the cover of a low, brick wall to the right: "Sie nehmen sich die paar Männer da drüben und besetzen den zweiten Stock des große Gebäudes an der Straßenecke. Verteilen Sie die Männer an den Fenstern und halten Sie sich bereit, seien Sie aber vorsichtig. Versuchen Sie nicht zu früh vom Ami entdeckt zu werden, Scharführer." Without hesitating, Grün turned around and sprinted toward the three soldier, loudly yelling at them to follow him.

Now Anday yelled some orders over to the commander of the Panzer, who was peeking out of his hold and strained observed the first houses of Carentan: "Setzen Sie den Panzer bis zur Straße vor und jagen ein paar Sprenggranaten in das Haus am nördlichen Ende der Straße, wir wollen dem Ami doch nicht zu viel Ruhe gönnen." While the tank commander disappeared in the hull of the metal giant, Anday signaled the radioman to pick up his heavy equipment and to follow him. The officer quickly sprinted over to the house standing directly in front of the two Germans. The building was an old, heavily destroyed cafe,but still Anday could clearly read the partially faded inscription "Cafe de la Liberte" at the side wall. This may have been a wonderful place at a time, but right now there wasn't any romance left here at all. In the roof of the cafe there gaped a giant hole and parts of the second floor were already collapsed. Luckily Anday found the stair inside the house still useable and so he hurried upstairs, taking up position with the radioman behind the broken windows. Just when Anday had found his breath again, he witnessed the incredible loud sound of 7,5cm shells banging into the big building to the north.

* * *

Only seconds after the order to fall back had arrived via radio, the Germans in the middle building readied themselves to break from the enemy for now. They had already realized the danger coming from the Americans in their flank by themselves and so the men didn't loose any time. Feldwebel Zahn deeply looked into the faces of his worn out men, before he clearly shouted: "Gut Männer. Wir gehen einer nach dem anderen und ganz in Ruhe. Auf der anderen Straßenseite verteilt Ihr euch auf die umliegenden Häuser oder grabt euch an der Straße ein, wenn dazu Zeit sein sollte. Und vergesst beim Graben nicht, Schweiß spart Blut. Clause, wie gehts bei dir? Kannst du laufen?"

Slowly, the wounded corporal shook his head. His broken rib caused awful pain to the men with every try to move his legs. But his eyes wore a fanatic expression when he slowly moved his thin lips: "Ich bleib hier und halt euch den Rücken frei, mit mir habt Ihr ja doch keine Chance. Und die Amis behandeln Ihre Gefangenen doch gut hab Ich gehört. Also macht das Ihr hier raus kommt, bevor es zu spät ist." Waving his hand at the rear door, the corporal grabbed his rifle tighter and turned back to the window, showing only his back to his comrades. He had already made up his decision.

Translations:

" Herr Obersturmführer, gut sie zu sehen. Die Amerikaner ..."
"Herr Obersturmführer, very good to have you here. The Americans are currently attacking the city with strong infantry forces from the north. At the moment we do still hold on, but we could monitor everything here via radio and things don't look all too good. The Yankees have already completely outflanked us on the right. Have you brought any more reinforcements with you?"

"Schicken Sie den Männern im Mittleren der Gebäude ..."
"Send following order to the men in the middle building, they have to fall back to the street, before the Americans will completely outflank them."

"Vogel, Sie und ..."
"Vogel, you and Rottenführer Schmidt will take the Kübelwagen and drive around south of these houses there. Bring the car into position on the right side of the buildings and ready the MG immediately, then you'll give fire support on the right flank for the rest of us."

"Sie nehmen sich die paar Männer da drüben und ..."
"You'll take these few men over there and get into position on the second floor of this big building at the street corner. Spread the men over the windows and stay ready, but be careful. Don't let the enemy spot you too early, Scharführer."

"Setzen Sie den Panzer bis zur Straße vor und ..."
"Get the tank forward to the street and send some high- explosive shells over to the house at the northern end of the road. We don't want to gain the Americans too much relaxation."

"Gut Männer. Wir gehen einer ..."
"Ok soldiers. We'll leave one after another and absolutely calm. When you've arrived on the other side of the street, spread over the houses or dig yourselves in, if there should be enough time for it. And remember while digging, sweat saves blood. How about you Clause, will you be able to walk?"

"Ich bleib hier und ..."
"I'll stay here and cover your backs. With me you wouldn't stand a chance at all. And I've heard that the Americans shall treat their prisoners quite well. So get out of here before it's too late anyway."

***New Map***

SS-Obersturmfuehrer Anday

- With no Americans in a position to stop them, the central building was evacuated without a problem.

- As the kubelwagen maneuvered into position, the gunner spotted the Americans at the other end of the street and began to fire at them. The Americans are uninjured but they're all hugging the nearest solid object as tightly as possible.

- Everyone near the tank nearly wet themselves as it's cannon blasted away at the Americans. The shell screamed over the heads of the German MG crew, smashed through the door and detonated in the entryway. The explosion tore through all the surrounding walls flinging shrapnel and debris at anything unlucky enough to be in the way. The sergeant and private just behind the north wall took the brunt of the northbound debris, there isn't much left of them. A half-meter-long piece of support beam in the wall impaled one the privates in the rear of the room, he's dead as well. The corporal, a private and the MG team were the only survivors, all of them have various lacerations from the flying debris and have been made deaf. The MG team has crawled into the next room, abandoning the machinegun.

- Shattered glass peppered the German MG crew as well. No one is seriously injured, but the gunner and loader have a few light scratches but they aren't bad enough to affect their fighting ability.

- Adding to all that, a few seconds later the front part of the building collapsed with what used to be the roof now dangling down and blocking the German view of the Americans and vise versa.

- The soldiers next to the tank will have managed to dig to the desired depth by the start of Mac's next post, but will be totally unprepared for a fight. Also, digging any deeper may be hazardous as they approach the water table (Carentan is in a coastal/marshy area so it's a lot higher than usual).

Staff Sergeant Bargett

- Reinforcements have arrived in the north. Five privates and one corporal.

- The morale of the uninjured soldiers to the west is... nonexistent. Their leader is dead, they're under attack by heavy weapons, and most of them are dead or getting there. They will run as soon as the opportunity presents itself unless something drastic happens.

- The wounded Private with Bargett has succumbed to his wound.

On grounds of mass inactivity and even replacements orders for an inactive member during this battle, I have decided to close this prolonged test, that should have been finished a good while ago. I'd like to thank Heiko for his persistence and patience in trying to keep this test running, but inevitably, it takes more than just the moderator of the battle to keep it running. I'd also like to thank the volunteers that did participate in this battle and test for the most part.

This test will be wrapped up this weekend and hopefully a final verdict will follow soon after on Heiko's progress; there is however one more step I must clear up, before this test can officially be closed. Heiko, if you may, could you write up a small post issuing what CP you see best fit for the members who've participated in this battle (if any) - may I also strictly warn that no other staff member issue this CP, other than myself.

Again, thank you and the results will conclude this weekend.

Result and CP:

Allies
DRAW!

Bargett: Of the original players, you were the most active. You didn't use that advantage to it's fullest but still did a good deal of damage to the enemy, destroying the entire East flank. For your efforts I award you 22CP
.
Axis
DRAW!

Goethe: You only stuck around for two posts and didn't do much in them. You were here and you posted... for that you get 5CP.

Anday: Sorry to cut this battle short on you. You came into a pretty shitty really really bad situation, quickly took command and made the best of it, flattening a building in the process and doing more damage in one post than Goethe did in two. For your effort I award you 10CP.


I thank all three of you for your time and effort.
