The winter air was crisp. Robert and the two Privates had ran away from their plane after it had crashed and they were waiting for a boat to arrive and take them home. They had found an old telephone which somehow had managed to stay connected and phoned base to get help.
The floor was covered by a thick sheet of snow. The snow was getting thicker and more and more snow kept falling.
'If we run out of bullets we can always throw snowballs at them Lieutenant!' said Owens trying to keep morale high with a pun.
'Let's just hope we don't have to fire anything and that we are not fired at,' the Lieutenant replied.
Robert sat down and rested against the wall. He wished that he hadn't refused a backpack as it would only be a short journey and now he could really use one. Luckily the two privates had their packs and would probably let him borrow somme of their things.
He walked out of the building and walked towards the nearest tree. He pulled a few twigs and branches off and went back into the house. He placed the sticks on the dry floor and then took two stones and began trying to start a fire so that he could warm his cold hands up.

Sodat Fratelli was woke in the middle of the night by a shout into his tent. Wake up. There's been an explosion. You've been ordered to scout the area. Fratelli wiped his eyes and put on his boots and grabbed his gear. Fratelli went to a short briefing where he learned that there was a suspected allied plane down in the area, and he was to investigate. Sent here by the Italians, fighting for the Germans. Should have stayed a plumber.
Fratelli set out towards the harbor; he kept a sharp ear and eye out for any threat. They're most likely dead if their plane went down but you never know. He marched down the little road or what was left of it after all the bombings. There were craters everywhere the very scent of destruction was in the air and Fratelli breathed it in. The snow didn't help matters much the icy air and the shelled out buildings only accentuated the feel of death and things ending... the only thing it didn't regard to was an end to the war.
As Fratelli moved along the road he heard a light 'tap' 'tap' as if some body was sharpening a knife or something similar. The night was still and quiet... no life in the harsh winters of Poland. There was the sound again this time Fratelli was certain of it some one was out there. Fratelli knelt down and started moving closer to the noise trying to make out any sign of an enemy threat. He heard voices indistinctly mumbling but they were clear enough for Fratelli to know that they were not Italian nor were they German.
Fratelli raised his rifle as he crept along scouting out the area. I need to know what we're dealing with here. Better do some reconnaissance.

OOC: Just a question. What does Soldat mean in Italian 'cause in French it means soldier? Map will come soon. Probably later tonight.
Private Owens moved away from the corner and rested against the wall and looked out of he gap in the wall and over the rubble. He made sure that only his eyes and helmet were showing. He could see a Nazi walking up the path on his own.
'Robert. Come over here,' he whispered.
The Lieutenant walked over and stopped when Owens put his hand up in a gesture for him to stop. Robert looked around the corner of the wall and saw the Nazi.
'On three. Open fire,' he whispered.
He took position on the floor and rested it on the pile of rubble.
'One.'
He started to control his breathing.
'Two.'
He took aim.
'Three.'
He let ten rounds go as rapidly as he could and so did Owens as he ran across the gap firing as rapidly as he could. They then hid behind the walls and waited for any return fire. If there was any.

Due to my firewall I am unable to see your map, but I saw the previous map and know where everyone was and you didn't state that you left the building.
The following actions have been made:
- Green and Owens, firing as quickly as you could with pistols at a moderate range has given away your location and you managed to startle the enemy, might want to try carefully aiming some of them in the future.
Shots rang out and bullets whizzed all around Fratelli. Luckily for me there isn't much light out yet. Fratelli thought this as he made a mad dash for cover behind a shelled out building that was close by. Fratelli knelt down beside the corner of the building, loaded his rifle, and took aim in the direction of the shots that were fired at him. Day was just breaking and he could make out two silhouettes standing in a door way across the street. Fratelli took careful aim at the silhouette to the right (Owens) and let a single shot ring out and carefully reloaded for another shot. Fratelli sat still in anticipation to see the outcome of his actions.

The following actions have been made:
- Fratelli, moving to cover and taking aim, your shot missed to your right, the enemy's left, due to the adrenaline running through your body after being fired upon and running to get behind cover. You managed to chip away a piece of the wall.
Owens has a rifle. He is a pilot I have borrowed from Rhodri Williams.
If he is a pilot, WHY DOES HE HAVE A RIFLE? If he went down with you, as I assume that is the case? He has a pistol if that is correct, it has been determined that the rifles would not fit in the cockpits.

What if we were in a bomber?

The two men were huddling against the wall on either side of the gap. They heard some bullets hit the wall and were thankful that the Italian had not had time to aim as they may have been hit. Owens checked how many bullets he had in his rifle and Robert checked the amount in his pistol.
'Owens!' the Lieutenant whispered to his Private. 'Stay here I'll be back.'
'Yes sir!' the private replied.
Robert stood up and checked that the Italian was not looking. He stood up and ran while keeping a low as possible out of the building and into the building that Savoy was waiting in.
'Private!' said the lieutenant causing Savoy to jump.
'Yes sir?'
'Can you try and sneak around the back without being seen and shoot the Italian who is behind the first building across the path.'
'Yes Sir!'
With that the private walked out of the house and began to crawl along the floor on his stomach and began to move across the floor and on to the path.He looked around and made his way to the front of the building as quickly as he could. He looked around the side to check that no one was there. He moved on to the side wall and huddled against it. He looked back at the Lieutenant who was now in the building with Owens.
OOC: Map on the way yet again I apologize for any inconvenience while replying or Mod-Marking.

Ok, well let's get some stuff straight, right now. Have you bought a bomber? To the best of my knowledge no one on this site has so, you didn't crash land a bomber. You are the one that stated that he was a pilot, but I have been set straight and informed he is just a private, I was absing this on the fact that you said he was a pilot. From reading your post no actions were made so it is now Fratelli's turn to post. And one more thing, don't GOD-MOD, it is illegal, you can't say that the enemy was not looking.
STOP SPAMMING![/B] First of all guys, this is not your battle thread (Tom/Ethan/Rhys) and secondly, McMillan was informed the day he made that Mod-Mark that Robert Green actually has two NPC Privates; Not NPC Pilot/s.
It is also elligable that you may proclaim you crashed in a bomber, it's Irrelevant to the thread to begin with (not like he's trying to bomb anyone), so the Irrelevance of saying you crashed in a bomer - doesn't do any harm what so ever to say. Infact, it counts as a Legit reason to why they're actually there!
No more spamming please guys, if McMillan doesn't return in the next 24hrs, I'll mod mark this, but as it stands, McMillan has been handling this thread and I hate to budge in. Particularly as it means I'll have to read all the way through, to understand what's happening in this battle...
McMillan; You may delete all spam posts, including this if you wish. ~Danny[/color]

It's been over a day since PuNK! said we had to come to an agreement we haven't so I guess this thread is closed. I'll try and set up another batle vs Fratelli some other time.
