[QUOTE="The Shaman, post: 2142187, member: 26473"] [color=sienna]“Machine gun?”[/color] Surprise in Neumann’s voice, then anger. [color=sienna]“[i]Scheisse![/i]”[/color] A brief hesitation. [color=sienna]“Yes, get him.”[/color] Normand feels the kick from the MAS-49/56 against his shoulder, sees a puff of sand scant inches from the [i]fellagha[/i] peering back at him from the gully. Then the fell is moving, closer, a short run, then headlong into the gravel-sand again. Gonzalez fires and a [i]fellagha[/i], about to rise, slumps to the ground instead. Without a word the Spaniard swings the barrel to search for another target. The [i]fellaghas[/i]’ fire dies away as they advance – one squad leaves the protection of the gully and takes a position behind the rocks where Lavareaux’s group was concealed just minutes ago, as the rest continue to work their way along the dry streambed. The last group of fells in line takes up a position formerly occupied by the group providing covering fire, including the machine gunner and his loader. The gunner rests the weapon’s bipod on the edge of the gully as the loader untangles himself from a belt of ammunition. [size=1][color=silver]End of round 17.[/color][/size] Neumann fires again, grunting his disapproval as he misses his mark. ____ Marcel follows Lavareaux, with Berg beside him, as they scramble up the gentle but rocky slope of the limestone outcrop. A glance at the German legionnaire reveals that his skin is pale but otherwise he seems to be moving without difficulty, and the bloodstains on his smock and trousers don’t appear to be getting much larger. However, it’s hard to be sure how bad the wounds are as the trio jogs over the stony ground. ____ Duval raises his field glasses to his eyes, observes the [i]fellagha[/i] advance as he answers Vidal. [color=sienna]“Yes, advise Villiers that we’ve engaged the [i]katiba[/i], approximately fifteen enemy casualties inflicted”[/color] he says, [color=sienna]“one legionnaire casualty sustained.

The leading [i]fellaghas[/i] are now just 150’ from Normand’s position (-2 to hit), 240’ from Vidal and Marcel (-4 to hit).[/color][/size] [/QUOTE]
