You fold the report neatly and you place it into your pocket, then you hear the loud speaker say "PEOPLE REPORTING TO THE 47TH INFANTRY DIVISION GO TO DOCK 2. PEOPLE REPORTING TO THE 12 ARMORED DIVISION REPORT TO DOCK 17. PEOPLE REPORTING TO...".
The loud speaker goes on and on, but you heard your dock, so you go to dock 2. You give your ID to the MP, he salutes you and you salute back. Then you enter the train, you go the the "High Ranks" train car. You put your brief case under your chair then you sit, currently awaiting the train to depart from the train juncture to move to the front.
As you wait, you look out the windows. Then you are interrupted by the train car opening, then closing. The figure is a female, her rank appears to be a colonel.
She sees you seated, then she salutes to you. "Colonel Alison reporting for duty, Sir!" |
|
|
"We're just on the train, colonel. Have a seat." |

Colonel Alison nods and lowers her hand, and thus the salute. She takes the seat in front of you, then she puts her briefcase under her chair. Moments pass before you hear the loud speaker click again. "TRAIN FROM DOCK TWO WILL NOW BE DEPARTING, GOOD LUCK ON THE FRONT." Before it clicks again, then the train starts to gather steam and it starts to move.
A few minutes pass as you begin to think how much it would be a burden to lead these men. On this very train, to there deaths. But you are interrupted by a voice, a female voice. "Erm..sir? " You look up at Colonel Alison and you hear what she says. "Are you nervous, nervous at all?" |

"Er...yes. I am. I'll be leading two platoons, I'm extremely nervous because there are lives that depend on me..and if I mess up....they die." Alison replies as she looks down. |
|
|
"It's their choice to fight for their country." |

"Good point, but I don't want to be that one leader who forces everyone to there death." Alison replies.
[You can skip if you want.] |

"Drafted, sir. I was drafted into the military, mostly everyone on this train is drafted. So we are forced to be in a uniform and given a gun to fight. I was promoted to colonel to 'fill' the gaps in the officer line. I'm not sure about you but my best guess is that you were drafted as well." Alison says as she was getting a pocket map out of her breast pocket. |

"Wait, really? So you signed up on your own will..?" Alison asked with a surprised look. |
|
|
"I can't be the only one who carries pride in my home?" |

"Well, I guess your right." Alison says.
[Wanna skip to the meeting of the Division?] |
|
|
Is there anything else to discuss? |

"I'm going to rest up for when we get there." |

"Yes, sir. I'll wake you up when we get there." Alison says.
EIGHT HOURS LATER
You officially reach the 47th Infantry Division, your staff car slowly drives to the command post. Passing by, infantry soldiers salute the slowing moving staff car. They must already know that you, there commander is here. When you reach the command post and exit the car and go in. You are already greeted by officers of the division, one of them is Captain Mac Arthur. Captain Mac walks up to you and salutes, once you salute back he leads you to the 'main' room.
The main room is basically a entire region, in this case the Verta center. It shows where the enemy is occupying and where we are occupying, and the dart looking thing with a flag. Its probably is where our division is stationed.
Before you get the chance to speak, you are interrupted by gunfire in the distance. Sirens begin to roar while nearby soldiers start running towards the 'front'. You and your officers are confused. You are kilometers behind the front, and yet..gunfire? Yet again, before you get the change to speak you are interrupted by a soldier who ran to your command post.
"Huf...Huf...Sir!....*Wheeze*...attack!...*Cough*..." The soldier finally clears his throat. "Sir! An enemy offensive is happening! And were in the bulk of it! Sir! What shall we do?" The soldier questions.
You look back at the map and you see you occupy a large rocky hill, which gives an amazing advantage in defense. But if you don't move back you might be cut off. But if you lose this hill, the entire Verta front may collapse.
So, pull back and save lives..? Or stand your ground and attempt to 'halt' the offensive. |
|
|
"Hold the Verta Center! Do not let it fall to the enemy!" I turn to the other soldiers. "Get your weapons, hold them off!" |

The surrounding officers and soldiers nod and move to there battle positions. The officers to the planning table and soldiers to the front. Its only minutes into the battle but you already hear tank fire and artillery. You are ready to fight to the last man, prepared to fight than to loose this front.
You have the choice to put all your men on the front or move then to the rears, just in case if they try a flanking attack. |
|
|
Have a few soldiers on the sides, we can easily adjust. |

The officers nod to your orders and begin to instruct the smaller ranks to do so.
THIRTY MINUTES LATER
Your gamble paid off, you received orders the the enemy is attempting to flank your positions but your soldiers at the flanks are keeping them at bay. But another problem surfaces up. Tanks. The attack at the front is officially joined by enemy tanks. And your position if obliterated with any sorts of anti tank weapons. The only anti-tank weapon is the molotov, but that has a limited range. The battle is getting rough and rough on you, the odds are being to stack against you.
Shall you stand your ground or retreat? |
