AUSTRALIAN INFANTRYMAN- A short interactive

[Gurkhal]

I don't think that the prospect of an ambush is less just because we walk around in plain sight, only more likly we'll get attacked at range while Germans can still hid within the woods and ambush us. We have to take the chance of being attacked in some way or another. I do belive that the risks are the leasts within the trees, although it's right that there are considerbal risks.

I would rather be shot at from a range. They are less likely to hit.

Also Warluster could we have some information on the size of our squad? I think that if our group is too small we will not be able to deal with any attack on us, in which case we should go the trees.

[Caius]

Can I play?

[Gurkhal]

Everyone can play, feel free to post.

I think our squads consists of six men, excluding our own guy.

[Warluster]

yes, you are right Gurkhal, there is 7 men including you.
Great to see this interactive picking up interest!

And Caisus, this is an Kraxis Style Interactive, choose your decisions!

Chapter 3
"I'd say we go around the trees Sarge" said web,
"nah, if we go through the trees we can escape any huns from getting to close!" said buck, buck and web argued for several minutes, the rest of the squad deep in thought.
"Oh shut up will ya!" yelled trev, and sarge nodded his head. He waved his arm towards the trees,
"We're going that way" said sarge, he raised his hand for slience when web started protesting and buck cheering, sarge continued on,
"I want no arguments, we run an risk. But either way. We're gonna be shot at" finished sarge, and convinced look on his face. The area round them was quiet. the Germans had retreated to deal wit wounds and injuries to there battalion. When they heard distant yelling, Nicko looked around wildly.
"is that the huns!?" he said in a panic, he did not like situations when they couldn't see there enemy. No one liked that. Buck was stareing hard at something, and pointed.
"What the hell is he doing!?" he said in astonishment, there on the horizon of this French lands. Was someone running along, through the bombholes, he was about 50 metres away.
"OI! HURRY UP! THE HUNS WILL HEAR YA SOON!" screamed nicko,
"they'd probaly hear you before him Nicko! Baxter! bring in that poor flounder fool!" said sarge, issuing his order. baxter ran out, heading for the soldier. WHen there was a sharp intake of air, and an whistleing.
BOOM!
A bomb landed a few feet away from Baxter. throwing the ground and dirt up, baxter was lost from sight as the dirt cloud covered him. There was a few more in takes, and several more bombs landed. Ripping up the dirt. The ground shook as if giants were approaching, the noise was deafening. The ground heaved to and fro, the clouds of dirt drifted lazily across the bombing area. Distrubed only by more bombs dropping.
"Sir! baxter and that Fool will never get out of that bombardment!' yelled buck, web and nicko nodding. Sarge looked like he was yelling something, but they couldn't hear him. All of a sudden two outlines appeared inside the dirt clouds, and out of it came Baxter and following on, the soldier. They raced over to where the squad was and stopped sharply, breathing hard.
"Sorry sir, just a bit of trouble collecting the bait" said baxter, with an small smile. The soldier (Or Fool) snapped his hand to hi head and his boats together.
"Private Morgan Drako reporting in sir" said Morgan, Sarge waved his hand,
"None of tha nonsense Drak, don't need to worry with me" said sarge, with an wave of his hand.
"Uh, sir it's actually Morgan Drako" said Morgan, or Drak as sarge reffered to him as. the squad chickled, and sarge put a hand on Drak's shoulder,
"We Aussies call it an nickname Drak" said Sarge, and Drak understood.
"You'll have to tag along with us Drak" said buck, and Sarge nodded.
"Now back to what we were doing, we're going through the forest, got it?" everyone nodded, and web walked over to Drak and explained verything. Everyone drew there rifles again, prepared them and waited silently.
"Okay, lets move out!" said Sarge, the squad moved into the strech of forest, and the darkness of it enveloped them,
"Keep an eye out for those huns" whispered Nicko, Buck snorted,
"Well obviously, there the only ones who want to kill us" snorted Buck, and everyone laughed, but stopped suddenly.
There was no noise, everyone was quiet. No birds, no nature but the trees. The air was stuffy. Suddenly they were almost out of the forest. Baxter sighed,
"I am happy we got out of there, it was a real n-" there was the crackling of bullets, and an machine gun opening up from inside the forest. Thudding into Baxter who was at the back, Web raced forward and grabbed Baxter, and pulled him forward. Buck and Nicko returned fire, and Drak jsut grabbe dhis helmet and found cover. The squad followed them, german voices from with in the Forest. When it stopped, they had found shelter in a small cave, but they didn't know where the germans were, and baxter was seriously wounded.
"the Battalion will be here soon, don't worry" said Sarge, thats exactly what they were doing, worrying.

Decisions

1. baxter is wounded, and they subtracts your squad to 7 men, including Drak. the Battalion might not be here soon, and baxter rneeds attendance.
A)Tend to him your self
B) make his last moments good with a laugh
C)Surrender

2. The Germans could be anywhere, as theys stopped firing at once, they could be setting another ambush up to finish you off!
A) Say that you reckon that one of the squad should go out (Either Sarge, You, nicko, Drak, Web or buck)
B)Say we should post guards
C)Say to not worry

[CountArach]

1) B

I doubt we have the expertise to tend his wounds, and it is the good Aussie way to laugh at inappropriate times Also it may help boost squad morale if they see this well-liked man laughing at death.

2) B

We should hold position. Sarge tells us that the Battalion will be here soon. Also it sounds as if we may have some cover. If we do then staying put is a great idea.

[Gurkhal]

1. A

Can't hurt if we at least tries to save him.

2. B Let's post out guards and perhaps we can attempt to sneak out past them during the night or something?
