Dietmar > Jez Convoy to Hell….. almost.

Transport convoy on route…… report, over.
Transport convoy on route.
Progressing.
Attention convoy enemy activity in your area. Be advised. Over.
Convoy to base. All quiet.

Convoy leader to Scout bike squad. Advance to tree cover right and investigate, over.
OK, will do. Over.

They’re gone, gone!
… Speak clearly man, who?!
Sir Scout unit has been wiped out. Strong elements of enemy troops were waiting within the woods, they just wiped them out, our scout unit is dog meat sir.
.
.
Please calm down trooper, and kindly speak better of the dead.
.
Commander to convey, execute defensive manoeuvre Delta 2, 9a on my mark.
.
.
Mark (and the convoy split into two fighting groups).
.
Skimmers, sir we have two skimmers coming in on the left and right of the convoy!
Fire. Fire all weapons.
But we can’t Sir, we are travelling too fast, we need to slow down.
Don’t slow this convoy trooper, never slow the convoy, we have to get these civilians through at all costs.

…..And he did. At all costs.

The convoy split up into two columns and headed for safety. The troopers engaged the enemy in hand to hand fighting and forced the transport through with sheer bloody-mindedness and a rising body count.

As the final transports left the battlefield to safely - but a few brave men stood over the smoking ruin that the enemy has rained down upon them.

Full victory: Jez
Dietmar is looking for payback in Bar Bar!
