SAVE THE BLAG DAY 1: Cavalry

The Allies are hard pressed. The Germans, based across the river, have been pushing hard. All the centre strip is under their control, and the Allies are losing ground constantly.

Alex is in charge of holding the bridge until reinforcements arrive. He's supported by a full squad of riflemen, a 30-cal fixed machine gun, and an anti-tank gun. Right now, as two Stug-42 tanks in, he wishes he had more men. As he sees the infantry following the Axis tanks, he redoubles his prayer.

Bullets fly through the air with a tremendous whizzing sound. Alex shouts "Give me some suppressing fire on those infantry!" but no sooner does he shout but that the Stugs blow the 30-cal men into messy gore and the infantry are dying and Joe and Farnsworth and Less are dead and the anti-tank gun is firing but the Stug shugs off the shot and the Kraut's are right on top of them -

And with a tremendous roar, explosions burst in the German ranks like firecrackers. Rockets fly in from above, dealing horrific death. A few of the infantry survive, fleeing to the other side of the bridge; the Stugs do not. The men cheer. Behind them, the rocket-launcher equipped Calliope tanks roll in. The cavalry has arrived.

As a German-American, I find your point of view biased and offensive.
