Thanks BT - I'm equally amused putting these together - lol.
Here in minute 20, Red Devil's lonely 25 pdr over in the Southeast corner of the map gets some action. The crew gets two shots off at a PzIIIJ way off in the distance, but they miss - it would be a very lucky shot to hit anything at this range with the low velocity of this gun.
Randy says: "had a brief moment of hope there when my big gun almost hit your tigger 2 at 5000 meters"
At the West side of the Oasis, Sgt O'Toole is the first to break under the relentless German HE area fire...
Randy is curious about what is hiding in the cliffs by Leto's setup zone. He writes: "what's behind door # 1?"
Leto: "Well, if you really must know, Mr. Barker, it is a really big sumo wrestler named “kiki” that was hoping to sit on your head and grind to the tunes of the Pulp Fiction soundtrack. : )"
Before long British Sgt Ramsey manages to shake off the German 81mm mortar fire on his position and advance forward - he discovers the guns by taking their defensive fire, losing four men in the squad doing so...good thing the squad was veteran quality. Surprisingly, Leto failed to put an armoured cover arc on the guns - they would have remained hidden had he done so.
Once the guns opened up, three other British squads began firing on them. We can also see circled in green a British sniper is moving into position on the cliffs.
This prompts a Comment and picture from Leto:
Leto: "Nuff said. Kiki most likely will not be unleashed upon the Brits."
RADIO CHATTER:
RANDY: "appears to be 2 guns there! nice.. and they're going to be out of HE real soon at those ROFs.. then we're gonna make soup cans out of them"
PETE: "Well since you’ve discovered my weak arsed attempt at a trap, I suppose it’s time to take my goat and run or you will be shootin’ the piss of my armoured cars..."
(Again - another attempted ruse - Leto has no armoured cars!)
