Walter's POV
Walter jumped out of his tank's hatch and yelled something into the turret. Upon hearing a "Yep! It's good!" come out of the tank, he slid down the tank and jumped off, landing besides Victoria. "Well Victoria, I can give limited support, depending on the street and area of the city we fight in. Or be a handy distraction. I can take a Rhamos if I aim for the weak spots like the treads, exposed engine block, or if I score a lucky hit, the main body itself. Not guaranteed though."

Ellie was waiting with the group until the the neew Co came. She smiled and said, " you must be the new CO. Im Ellie, nice to meet you. I'm the team's sniper." She smiled and said, " I'll be watching your back while you guys go in and fight up close." She adjusted her gewehr-43 on her back and waited for any order or someone to talk to her. "Let's just keep everyone alive here, huh?" She smiled once again, seeming out of place in a war. though she is dangerous with a sniper rifle.

Hans was smoking a hand-rolled cigarette while he gripped his PPSH in his free hand. his side arm hung losely on his hip and he looked serious and uptight. He said briefly to the new CO, "I'm Hans Hubermann. nice to meet you." A boy, much younger than Hans, overheard him speaking. he thought, * his voice sounds familiar.... wait, did he just say Hans Hubermann? Dad?!* He looked around and said, " dad? Is that you?" Then Hans turned around and said in shock, " Maxwell?! What are you doing here?" Max looked down for a minute and then said, " I was drafted." Hans shook his head, but then embraced his son. After a quick reunion, he said, " Well, it's an honor to have you fight by my side son." Max smiled and said, " Same here Dad." Then max looked up and said to the CO, " uh, yeah hi. I'm Max."

Cap

As the man wanted to lead a group of snipers, Cap just waved them off. "Make sure to cover our backs out there." He said awith a small smile. He then went to the tank man. "Trust me, if you get a chance, aim at the back of them. Thats where they store the ammo. They explode pretty good after one shot at there behinds. And just a note, they'll probably try to use the rhamos in those amll streets I mentionned and get stuck, thats your cew to make as much damage as possible." The sound of bullets and screaming drew steadily closer as frontline soldiers started to be seen running in the distance. "Well, thats the signal I guess. EVERYONE! TAKE COVER AND GIVE THEM HELL!" The sound of tanks rolling couldn't be mistaken, they were coming and they were starting to get close.

Baron Rip

Thinking about it a bit, he had no Idea were she could be. "She wouldn't be on the frontlines..." He said with a cold voice. "Her advisor wouldn't allow it and he has always pulled the strings, using the Duchess as a mouthpiece..." Taking out a knife, he looked at the font lines again for any indicator then stabbed his knife in what was the museum of heroes, a museum of ancient Greatholm founders and heroes. "That Advisor just gived away there position... I have met the man an he would never sleep in a tent or a runned down apartement complex. No... the man wants to live the highlife even in war. This would be the perfect place for him."

When the gunfire started, Ellie sprinted towards the nearest building and quick got to the roof. There she walked over to the balcony and kneeled down with her sniper. She adjusted the scope and looked through it to see the army coming towards them. "well [censored]. hope I don't run out of bullets." she said with a smirk. She waited to fire the first shot.

Hans looked at Max. Max immediately knew what he was saying. "let's do this dad." Hans gave a quick nod and then raised his PPSH. He loaded the drum magazine into it and aimed. Max did the same with his colt. He loaded a mag in and aimed. Hans looked at his son holding the pistol and said, " remind me to get you a better weapon. Fighting with a simple side arm will get you killed." Max nodded and resumed his firing position. "Give us the order when to light em up Cap!" shouted Max eagerly. Hans just smiled and shook his head at his sons eagerness.

he nodded then baron Karl grabbed a small chest opening it revealed numerous tanks and infantry pieces he placed according to their real life positions, "alright them, as we stand this is what we have...the streets are to small for tanks...except for the greatholm tanks...hover we can still use ours to bombard the front...meanwhile we concentrate a short but incredibly strong artillery barrage. here," he pointed to the left flank, "and there," and there pointing to the right. "We send the common troops up the middle with basically the tanks acting as short ranged artillery, meanwhile my legion and your golden cross attack the flanks...we drive in simple pincer maneuver... the museum seems to be in the middle...however there also comes one problem, it maybe like squeezing a zit...and push the greatholm army out, of the trap, and further into the city, also with the artillery bombardment...we may just create more entrenchment with buildings and ruble. that is my plan, Baron." it was fast, they would get hit by all sides...and their worst conscripts were in the front....supported by Tanks, so charging at the tanks was a bad idea...it seemed sound, but no plan survived contact with the enemy. he then said with the utmost respect "baron, I assume you have a plan of attack?"

Alina

"HALT!"

A voice screamed from one of 30 Rhamos tanks advancing after the first wave of tanks were sent into Greatholm. They came to a full halt, and the hatch of the front tank popped open. A slender female figure in black military uniform and some shoulder armour slowly pushed herself out. She removed her goggles and used her gloved fist to pat down her black hair. She stood up and faced the other tank commanders on the roof of their vehicles.

"Brothers! Tis a fine day for killing!" Alina said after taking a breath of the war torn air. "We all know what is in store for us! We all know what we should expect! But now, we shall strike a deeper fear into the core of their very hearts! Observe!" Alina said, smirking as she snapped her fingers. The Rhamos Tank beside hers begun to raise its turret into the air while some of the tank crew got out to hook up sturdy steel cables from the chassis to the ground and put bricks behind the tank treads. The tank commander inside aimed for an empty roof and fired, causing a loud bang. The round went up into the sky, and the round split into several giant shrapnel. They hurled onto the roof as well as the surrounding empty ground, decimating the building until nothing remained but its base.

The rest were stunned as the crew withdrew the equipment and went back into the Rhamos Tank. "I have modified our tanks to accommodate artillery rounds this time. We are now this versatile and we do not need to lunk around those big cannons, although we do need to have that wagon of rounds trailing behind us but still!!" Alina said, pausing to smile as the small remark sparked some laughter into the rest of the tank crew.

She then turned around and drew her sword and pointed it towards the direction of Frosthelm. "Let's give these dogs a taste of what's to come! Ready the rounds!" Alina said, the turrets pointing at the buildings. She knew that by barraging the buildings snipers or anti tank crew would have very little opportunity to snipe at her incoming wave.

With a loud yell, she raised her sword and she cried:

"FIRE!!!!"

All 30 tanks fired a round into the buildings they targetted each, magnificent structures turning into rubble.. "CHARGE!!!" Alina cried as she and the tanks rushed to the city at full speed.

Ellie cringed as she saw the building next to hers crumble apart. "sheesh, that was close. Lets just hope those Rahmos tanks dont spot me..." she looked through the high powered scope on her gewher at the huge rahmos battalion. "geez. I hope that tank we have can clear em out..." she shook her head and waited to see anything to shoot. Then she noticed someone was standing in the open hatch of a Rahmos tank (Alina). She smirked and then carefully aimed with the crosshairs. She drew in a big breath and made sure that the dot was on the persons head. She pulled the trigger and a shot rang out of the rifle. She exhaled and said, " Phew. I hope I got it..."

(hit or miss. Your choice Thrasher!)

Hans looked around and said, " well, by the looks of it, i dont think we stand much of a chance against those Rahmos. Any plans?" he looked around at the group. Max was pretty much his fathers son. He was doing almost eaxctly what he was. Though they had much dofferent personalities. Max had got some of of his personallity from his mother. Hans then looked at Max and whispered to him, " so Max, any girls in the squad your eying up? Hahaha" Max blushed and bit and said, " come on dad, seriously" Hans smiled and lightly punched Max on the shoulder. " just messing with you. Niw, lets see how nice that colt of yours is."

Nerus' POV
He entered a building, and found a spot where he could see the street the tanks would be coming up. He heard the first barage of shells, and quite a few buildings came crashing down. He hoped they wouldn't shoot the one he was in, it would be difficult to get out of. He saw the frontline troops coming up the street. "Heheheh, too easy." he said, taking aim at a soldiers head. CRACK! The shot echoed across the street, and the soldier dropped. He quickly took aim at another, and pulled the trigger, smiling as the soldiers began to look around. "Maybe this will be fun after all" he said, taking aim again.

Victoria's POV
She heard the tanks shoot, 30 or more going off at the same time. It was a deafening noise. Not long after she heard the snipers start to shoot. "Well, I believe that's our cue. Where do you need me, sir? As I said before, I could lead an assault team, but if you need me somewhere else I can be there." She didn't like having to take orders from him, but combat wasn't the time to argue or insult.

Walter's POV
Walter heard the rumble of tank fire. "Well damn! They got here quicker then I expected. Well, I'll roll out ahead of you guys. Stay on the radio, I'll contact you if I have any new Info. Hopefully, my tank's smaller size will give me an advantage in this city." Walter climbed up the side of the Riptide and jumped into the hatch, closing it behind him. The tank rumbled as it started and rolled out onto a nearby street, soon it rolled out of sight, disappearing into the cities various alleys and side streets.

(OOC: Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure a Rhamos tank is pretty wide. And as such I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be able to turn as quickly in tight streets.)

"Here we go." Angela readied her machine gun and ducked behind cover. Marcus ducked down next to her and looked down the iron sights of his rifle. His hands were trembling, this was his first real battle and he was clearly scared. "Calm down kid, just imagine they're nothing but targets at a carnival game" Angela said, setting a hand on his shaking arms. Marcus took a deep breath and let it out slowly, steadying his hands and calming his nerves a bit. "There ya go, now get ready, we're in for a big fight." Marcus nodded and looked down the sights again, awaiting the order to fire.

Ryan had moved down to the first floor. He could see alot of iron conscripts running past towards the Greatholm soldiers and just up the street he saw a line of Rhamos tanks. The sound of their cannons was deafening and was shaking the whole building. He was to close to the frontline to try and kill any important people. He thought to himself alright I guess I'll have to try something else then. He then dove out of a back window and into an empty ditch. He stayed low to avoid anyone seeing him and started inching his way towards the last Rhamos tank on the left flank.

A bullet suddenly zipped past Alina and plunged onto the tank armor right beside her hand. She quickly withdrew her hand without hesitation and froze there for a few seconds. She got really angry and she held her hand up to signal her tanks to stop advancing.

"Greatholm cowards! You wanna play this way?? Huh?! Then we shall too. Battalion, ARTILLERY POSITIONS!!"

As soon as those words escaped her mouth, all of the tank's crew except the commander got out to secure the tank solidly on the ground just like how the previous one did during the demonstration.

"The rest of you! Get the Panzerschrecks for any incoming wave! Quickly! Tank infantry get ready to advance after we blast their [censored]! Ready yourselves gentlemen!"

With the Rhamos tanks turrets raised in the air, Alina gave the loud order to fire. In an instant, the city was barraged and bombarded with deadly steel rain, mostly hitting the buildings and their rooftops.
"Go! Kill them all!!" Alina shouted, signaling the infantry to advance. Her tank followed after them, giving them support.

Abbey took a clip from her back pouch, scanning the streets for a good point. She spied a pile of thick concrete and metal rubble sitting across one of the streets they were to defend, on the second story of a building which looked like the top had been ripped off by a giant. She sprinted over to her vantage point, peering over at the approaching enemy through her scope, anxiety sitting in the back of her mind as she watched iron conscripts rush into her line of sights, bracing herself and taking a shot at the nearest one. The bullet hit, and appeared to have glanced off the armor, until the soldier stumbled and fell.
"Well, they aren't spall-proof, it seems. This'll make things easier, but those tanks could be a problem..." she muttered to herself as the barrel locked back into place.
Looking further, she saw the advancing wave of Rhamos tanks, releasing a shot at the nearest one, watching as it sheared off without the usual dent that indicated a spall tearing out of the internal cabin. She grimaced. "Damn...this will be more difficult than i thought..."

Ellie swore when she saw the target had not been hit. But her situation got even worse when a barrage off bullets were hitting the building she was on. She ducked behind a ledge and felt the bullets barely missing her head and some hitting the concrete ledge. She worked her sniper onto her back and began crawling to the door that lead downstairs. She reached it, unscathed, and quickly hid in a nearby storage closet. "gotta wait fir that darn cannon fodder to stop..."

Hans and Max dashed for cover when the Rahmos tanks started attacking. Hans looked around the corner, then looked at Max. "so, want to do a little father son activity. It's called tank stealing." he smirked and then max said, " thats crazy. Let's wait for the captians order first." Hans nodded in agreement and said, "good thinking son."

Riptide's POV
The Riptide sped through the streets, quickly advancing towards the enemy tank position from the side. He looked out a small viewport in the turret. As they sped through the city, they saw the first of the enemy tanks. "Target in sight! Fire!" The turret angled itself slightly and let out a single shot. The shell slammed into the exposed drive wheel and destroyed it. As the crippled Rhamos attempted to reposition it's turret to fire at the Riptide, The Riptide managed to get behind the Rhamos and fired upon the exposed engine block. The tank enemy tank lit up spectacularly as the shell made contact. "Perfect. One down, god knows how many more left. It's a good day." He chuckled to himself as the Riptide continued on, moving through the Side Streets and alleys.
