Status: offline 		CPT Abe knew that he had to try again. The unit he faced was well disciplined and well led; but there would be no excuse for failure on the battlefield even while his comrades were fighting and dying. He stood, turned, and looked at his men’s eyes. “Fifty soldiers left”, he thought. They looked absurdly young—even to him who was barely 22. Dirty, tired, with hair pasted by sweat to their foreheads. “these are good soldiers” he thought. “You have been brave thus far!” he yelled. “And unrelenting” he continued. Then turning in the direction of the Canadian platoon in front of them, “and that filth has survived your courageous assault only because of the terrain they’ve hidden themselves in!” he said as he peered through the jungle wood line to the rocky ground beyond. “Our brothers have fallen because of them! We cannot now leave this field without victory!” he paused and scanned the fifty faces. “We must attack them, and we must kill them! Without hesitation! Utterly!” He stood taller now, and raised his sword, “Now…we must deliver them death! Banzaii!!!” And 3rd/4th PLT stood in unison, with the absolute discipline of highly trained and experienced men, and uniformly screamed “Banzai!!” with rifles held high, bayonets gleaming…The ten remaining soldiers of 1st/4th PLT also charged quickly through 200 meters of jungle in a rabid state, now falling, now stumbling, recovering, and driving headlong into the rocky ground ahead of them…

Status: offline 		Whether to run what remained of his BN through the pass was weighing heavily on LTC Haga’s mind. He hardly had any infantry left, and moving through the pass now would virtually guarantee the BN’s destruction. And even if they succeeded, his BN would probably no longer be combat effective by the time they reached the reservoir on the other side. Still, his primary mission was to get to the other side…

Status: offline 		The BN XO now had to decide whether to move the TOC forward. The BN’s forward-most elements had advanced 250 to 500 meters beyond his HQ’s ability to keep those units supplied; but with LTC Haga at the front, he was hesitant. If he pulled pitch now, he risked supplies to the bulk of the BN. But if he stayed, those few units that needed it most would likely find themselves low on supplies in the next few minutes. He didn’t have to hesitate long. His senior NCO knew what he was thinking. “Respectfully, Sir. We must move forward now”, the BN SGT said in a very low voice, away from the rest of the men in the tent. The XO turned his head toward him—he was taller than the SGT—“Make it so”. And immediately the SGT barked orders; the men in the tent responding just as immediately…

Status: offline 		Hello, folks. I just wanted to apologize to anyone out there who might have been wondering about my delay in posting. Real life, military duty, etc. have all conspired to keep me away longer than I'd like. I will be posting again soon. Happy gaming!
