Spiers realized he needed to link up to communicate with the units on the other side of the German-held town, so he just takes off and sprints through the middle of town, Germans all around looking at him like he's a nut, then sprints *back* to join his men. Almost too many of these to mention...  As another poster said, it's on RPGnow. I'll be picking it up either today or tomorrow and I'll post up what I think of it, though I suspect it will be similar to what DJorgenson already posted.</blockquote>
