  • Capt. Roy Pritchett: We're making another push.

    Pvt. David Manning: You gotta be shitting me.

    Capt. Roy Pritchett: Our company is to try and take the bridge on the Kall Trail again and hold it. Kraut 88's on the ridge are gonna have us right on the chopping block.

    Pvt. David Manning: Fuckers.

    Capt. Roy Pritchett: There's a road leading up to the ridge from the north side. I figure a single squad with a couple of flamethrowers might have a shot at taking'em out. Their gun crews will be firing at us.

    Pvt. David Manning: What about their infantry support?

    Capt. Roy Pritchett: Krauts are holding their manpower back about a mile behind the ridge. Apparently they're having trouble finding replacements, so they're relying on their 88's to wipe us out. I need a squad to volunteer.

    Pvt. David Manning: Good luck.

    Capt. Roy Pritchett: You take out those guns, and I'll get you that section eight you were begging for.
