Germans Claim First Blood in Team Rumble


Recommended Posts

ARMY GROUP B NEWS-SHEET, 18 December 1944 (Morning Edition) - Obergefreiter Fritz Brandt, known far and wide throughout the Reich as "the Volksgrenadier with a Heart of Gold" successfully led his squad of sturmpioniere in a daring assault on an enemy held bridge in the Ardennes this morning.

Veteran American paratroops, lavishly armed and in the midst of preparing a bridge for demolition, had their plans expertly foiled by a few short bursts from Brandt's machine pistol. With sharpshooter accuracy, he felled four GIs and destroyed two armoured trucks.

Lightly armed German troops operating in the Ambleve Valley are reported making terrific progress against superior American forces.

German troops have taken the offensive all along the Western Front and have caused serious alarm among the American, British and Canadian Armies.

Excellent news brief! Well done. I think I have seen a photo of the german advance somewhere, now where did I put that....hmm.

Gamey?...Ahistorical?....what till you see what was in those trucks. Just a little closer now....closer...that's good keep coming.

Gordon has hacked into the BTS computers and stolen the bridge demo unit from CM2...yes it's compatiable with CM1.

Right now I'm sitting in a secret spot with my hand on the demo charges plunger, hope my lazy, overstuffed, capitalist arm doesn't get too tired smile.gif

Excellent brief. Sounds like you caught the American's off guard for sure but now that they know I'm afraid your cowardly advantage of surprise is gone. You will now face the raft of the best fighting men in the world. I'm sure if you lay down your arms now and return to where you came you will be spared. A few of you will have to hang but you did kill several American's and they can't just let you completely off. Do yourselfs a favor. Surrender! :D

Of course one of you Krauts has to consider that if you are not collectively surrendering, I shall abuse you verbally to no end.

BTW Gordon, I hate you.

For all of those who don't know what I have been assigned with during that Rumble, I'm a TRP.

Now, order wise, I'm a bit laid back.

Next turn I'll try a fancy Unbutton just to see if I can spot beyond that grass...

I think it's that crazy Frenchman. In a desperate search for 'companionship', he's chasing down a few poodles.

Response to Gordon's email:

I can't speak for the germans but I thought all the gamey talk was just fun trash talk. Germans, what do you say?

Oh, and for you German speaking Rumble players, let me translate Gordons email:

"Pull up your leiderhosen and attack" smile.gif

If things are getting a little too rough for the Germans we could give you a couple of Pawbroons TRPs? Lets see you can have the one that your PSW just travelled over....oopps too late....incoming!

Or how about a slightly used truck? It was carrying wine for our x-mas party but I think you went and busted it all up.

Can't wait to see what kind of armor you guys have.

Mother of God, those trucks put up one hell of a fight! Yessireee -- I even broke a nail.

But the wine is excellent!
