Our team:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">26 year old American spy with a history of criminality</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">56 year old Polish truck driver who spent 30 years in prison</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">33 year old American special forces NCO who is career military</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Not-sure-how-old American who has done literally everything: military, police, criminal, blue collar</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Me: The Baroness Petra von Breza, age 30, Polish special forces descended from a noble family</li> </ul>A lot has happened over the last 4 or 5 sessions. We entered a city defended by NATO forces and under assault by the Soviets. We were pressganged into the defense. The Soviets are bringing in a trainload of tanks. If the tanks reach the city, they'll wipe out the defenders. We were tasked to join the team to stop the train. Our mission, which we did not get a choice to accept: Go behind enemy lines, intercept the train, and heist the tanks.Fortunately, the train was stalled by sabotage -- special forces had blown the track. The train was delayed several days as their engineers repaired the track.We arrived on the scene with 2 tanks, an armored personnel carrier, a pair of Humvees, and an uparmored police car. We had about 20 soldiers. We spent a full session planning our attack...but the longer we planned, the closer the train was to getting underway. We sent in our armored units from the north. They were loud and drew the attention of the stalled train's defenders. Our infantry moved on the train from the south. We had the element of surprise, fortunately, because the Soviets had more infantry...and, strapped atop the train, more tanks.Our snipers took out the soldiers with RPGs atop the train. One of our tanks started blowing out the rear boxcars, with the intention of derailing them and obliterating anything within. The derailed boxcars would keep the train from getting underway, while avoiding damaging the armor we were there to steal. Everything was going swimmingly until the Soviet infantry attempted to climb into the tanks on the train cars. They intended to start them up and turn the guns on us. We managed to blow away successive waves of infantry, eliminating the threat.Then the engineer fired up the train. One of our snipers tried to get into position while our tanks tried to blow up a car that connected the engine to the flatbeds hauling the tanks.That's where we paused.It's been a super fun mission, with a great sense of back and forth, and tremendous satisfaction from wrecking face with our M1 tanks.Next session: I think we've got this in the bag.</blockquote>
