Forced Entry

Apparently there's an emergency at the front. You've been hurriedly seconded to a platoon of the 13th Guards Division, and ushered off to a particular section of front fairly near the Volga. Right now you're all piling into a dusty, rubble filled building, nudged along by a sergeant. "Stay away from the holes if you don't want to be shot." he grunts, as you enter a room by the street, filled with rubble and debris. The sounds of a machinegun blasting away nearby tells you that the front is close.

A lieutenant, grey with dust, lies slumped by one of the big holes in the north facing wall. At first you think he's dead, but then he stirs when he hears you lot all tramping in.

Gregor keeps his head down as he moves along, looking about as he creeps along, looking about to see what's happening and keeping his ears open to hear orders.

Dimitri is leading the way, being the scout that he is. A quick look at the lieutenant, "Hello there sir…you look like death, if you do not mind me saying." He scratches at his scruff and takes a knee in the dirty room.

Sokolof tramps in with the lot who've been hustled here. Rifle at his shoulder, a dour frown on his face. This has become his habitual manner whenever hustled anywhere. He's been in this thing long enough that he doesn't flinch at the sound of machinegun blasts anymore. Not that they make him comfortable. "Comrade Lieutenant…?" he says. It's half a call to the man, half a question 'Is that guy going to live?' to the sergeant.

Maschenko hustles along with the others in their little group, his ill-equipped satchel of supplies slung around his shoulder and held protectively under his left arm. At the sight of the slumped man, he speeds up his steps to get closer to the man. He looks alive, kind of.

Novikova tries not to snort softly at the shot comment. Try not to exist if you don't want to be shot would be more accurate, in her humble opinion. Despite the faint twinge that crosses her face, Novikova is a good, obedient Soviet soldier. The machinegun blasts provoke an instinctual urge to coil back, but - well, doing so now would be unwise. She just shuffles until - whoa! A Lieutenant. "Comrade?" She asks quietly too.

Mikhail moves in with the others, shaking his head as he hears Dimitri's comment. "He probably minds, you know," he offers. Otherwise keeping silent for now, just looking grim.

The lieutenant seems to be healthy enough, he's just becoming one with the stone, trying to blend in. "Comrades!". Relief is evident in his tone. "I urgently requested reinforcements, I fear it may be too late.". He indicates northwards. "Sergeant Pavlov is holed up in the building north of here with what's left of his platoon. We have to move fast or the fascists will seize the place, they're in there with him right now!". And the blast of machinegun fire from right next door accentuates the fact that fighting is apparently going on real close. It sounds like a Soviet machinegun, though, that rare beast. "He'll need ammunition. Grab some from the crates.". He points.

«Equipment» Death has dropped 7.62-54R x 300.

«Equipment» Death has dropped 14-114mm x 10.

«Equipment» Sokolof picks up 230 x 7.62-54R .

«Ground Combat» Gregor moves into Hole in the Wall.

«Ground Combat» Maschenko moves into Hole in the Wall.

«Ground Combat» Novikova moves into Hole in the Wall.

Dimitri nods to the lieutenant and looks back to the squad behind him, "Everyone load up…hopefully I'll find a place that isn't near a machinegunner." A glance to the lieutenant, "You notice any places that I could maybe set up a perch?" He pats the scoped rifle in his hands.

«Equipment» Mikhail picks up Antipersonnel Mines.

«Game» Maschenko moves into Hole in the Wall.

«Game» Gregor moves into Hole in the Wall.

Sokolof gathers up some of the ammunition. He'll carry a share of it. That done he slips into the hole in the wall, back against it. Instinctively trying to find the best shadow or cover available. Habits to develop.

«Game» Novikova moves out of Hole in the Wall.

«Equipment» Novikova picks up 7.62-54R x 70.

«Game» Novikova moves into Hole in the Wall.

Gregor loads heavy with ammo, then moves to the hole, to get ready.

«Game» Mikhail moves into Hole in the Wall.

Maschenko also is quick to grab up quite a few clips, as many as he can jam into his pockets, his satchel, and even one shoved into each boot under the heavy fabric covering. He resecures his bag and ducks into the hole in the wall after the others, looking grim.

Mikhail moves to get ready as well now, frowning a little to himself. Otherwise keeping silent.

The lieutenant nods at Dimitri. "Sergeant Pavlov is up on the top floor!". He points vaguely to where the building is beyond. "Apparently he has a very good field of fire. But the Germans are in there with him. You have to get up to him, with that ammo. He's been up there with his men for the best part of a week, shooting panzers, but the Fascists really have had enough of him today!". Holding up a mirror by the hole in the wall, he observes briefly. "We'll have to run fast, there's a trench connecting us to the building, and then when we're inside it'll be about determination and courage, comrades.".

Novikova is quietly able to jam a bit of ammunition into her coat. Her once fine fur jacket is no longer so fine, but still fur and warm - so despite the tattering, she keeps it. She clinks a little, but she's got what she can hold. She looks thoughtful and solemn as she listens and frowns.

Dimitri nods to the lieutenant as the fearless leader explains the situation. He scratches at his beard scruff and he pokes his head out of the window for a split second, trying to take in as much of his environment as he can.

Gregor listens, nodding grimly, hands ready on the rifle.

The hole in the wall seems to lead directly into a trench line cut across the road to the north, which in turn vanishes into a wall in the building beyond.

Sokolof nods, trying to look enthusiastic for the lieutenant's benefit. His long face does not feign enthusiasm well. "Da, Comrade Lieutenant," he says, more because he feels the need to say something. Were he a praying sort, he might say one right now. But he's a good Soviet atheist, so he just looks at the building and quietly dreads.

Maschenko hates that machine gun fire. It doesn't matter that it's been nearly two months clogged with it, he still hates it. "Understood, comrade." No time to be ready or not. Luxuries they don't have.

"Alright, comrades, on me." the lieutenant offers. Where's his platoon? He lost all those already it seems, bodes well.

Dimitri moves up to the hole in the wall and looks back at the rest of his squad with a grin on his face, "Cheer up comrades. Today we either die in glory for Russia…or we defend this place and kill a few Germans along the way."

Mikhail just nods in return to the Lieutenant now, shrugging a little bit in the process.

«Ground Combat» Arnsberg fires its MG 42 at Novikova but misses!

Gregor :runrunruns bullets, blood, more bullets, FUCK. Run run run

Mikhail frowns a bit as he hears the fire from the MG, but keeps on moving now. Nothing else to do. "Keep moving," he calls to the others.

Novikova shuffles north with the oth— whoa! Novikova jerks as she is nearly nailed by the MG42. The bullets ping the ground around her. She hisses softly and keeps moving.

Maschenko is moving. Hell, hell.

«Ground Combat» Arnsberg fires its MG 42 at Novikova and hits!

Novikova suffers 4 wound damage to her left hand.

Hits hard cover.

Hits hard cover.

Dimitri stays as hidden as he possibly can, also moving as quickly as he can.

«Ground Combat» Gregor moves North to Basement <N>.

Sokolof is stopped. By a bullet. For a moment he stands in place, wavering as if in a breeze. Then he crumples against the wall, coughing desperately.

Maschenko sees Sokolof go down in a big spray of blood. He skids to a stop long enough to fall to his knees, jamming his hands on top of the wound. No time to really treat it, alas. Hopefully the man won't bleed out while they're in there.

«Ground Combat» Dimitri moves North to Basement <N>.

«Ground Combat» Reizenstein fires his Kar98k at Novikova and hits!

Novikova suffers 5 wound damage to her head.

Novikova hisses in pain, as her left hand is pinged. She seems to be the man's favorite target and rues the day. Her eyes go wide as she sees Sokolof get hit. "Comrade!" She offers an arm up. She tries not to glare at the MG42 that seems to be fond of her. Keep moving? Go? She hesitates, then decides to - ow! She wobbles and moves on, unsteady. But still up.

«Ground Combat» Novikova moves North to Basement <N>.

«Ground Combat» Maschenko moves North to Basement <N>.

Basement

The Grid-----> > > > > THE GREATEST GENERATION < < <


Coordinates : 4 2

The basement area is illuminated in daytime by the big holes in the roof and the walls, up by the ceiling where the walls are slightly above ground.

One of the bigger holes has been enlarged by engineers, and leads to a trench outside, where troops and supplies can be brought in to the building with some vague modicum of protection.

The basement usually has a couple of dozen civilians in it, men and women, young and old, the civilians who lived here before the Germans showed up. The Volga is not far away, and in any case, not one step back, comrades! This applies to the civilians too, so here they are.

Dimitri slides in through the hole leading up out of the basement. A tuck and roll and he's standing back up. A look around. He spots Maschenko, "Where is Private Sokolof?"

The basement is a cacophony of noise with the sound of gunfire coming from right overhead. And there are people in here. There are women and children in here, literally, and the children are shrieking at the sound of MG42s a room or two over.

Maschenko is slower than the rest, panting as he runs. "Got hit in the chest," he says, trying to catch his breath. "They're dragging him in."

«Ground Combat» Mikhail moves out of Hole in the Ceiling.

«Ground Combat» Dimitri moves out of Hole in the Ceiling.

Gregor thuds into the basement, looking around to take in the situation, rifle ready.

«Ground Combat» Gregor moves out of Hole in the Ceiling.

Novikova is … wobbling in more than walking. Novikova seems dazed but - somehow? Somehow the damn kid is still walking despite taking a rather ugly headwound. Good grief. Stalin would be proud at how she stops that lead. Her relief at Sokolof's survival is apparent despite the red running down her face.

«Ground Combat» Novikova moves out of Hole in the Ceiling.

«Ground Combat» Maschenko moves out of Hole in the Ceiling.

Dimitri nods to Maschenko, "He's going to have to stay here when they get him in. We've got to keep on moving."

Maschenko grabs a bandage from his bag, hurrying over to Novikova to try and stem some of this bleeding. As he can.

Mikhail just keeps quiet as he keeps moving for the upstairs area. Glancing around once more.

«Medic Code» Maschenko successfully performs first aid on Novikova!

«Medic Code» You look over Novikova.

«Ground Combat» Mikhail moves Up <U>.

Maschenko isn't going to have time for her hand. As Mikhail heads up, he grits his teeth and starts after.

Sokolof is hauled and dumped rather unceremoniously on the floor. The worst of the bleeding on his sucking wound has been hastily packed with field gauze to stall the bleeding. He'll live. But his running ability is pretty much shot. He groans and attempts to stay conscious.

«Ground Combat» Gregor moves Up <U>.

Dimitri nods to Sokolof, "Rest now, Comrade." A look around and he nods to the squad at Mikhail heads up.

«Ground Combat» Dimitri moves Up <U>.

Novikova looks worried about poor Sokolof and frowns, "I am sorry," She looks apologetic at maschenko. She nods and follows after the others. Novi seems to understand.

«Ground Combat» Novikova moves Up <U>.

«Ground Combat» Maschenko moves Up <U>.

Buildings

Coordinates : 4 2

The interior rooms of Pavlov's House have largely been cleared out. Most of the interior walls have been smashed down, making it quite a large and airy space inside the building. Rubble and corpses lie scattered around.

It is currently daytime.

Dimitri holds up one finger and points to the west as the two new soldiers enter the room.

Gregor moves up, looking about carefully, then to Mikhail. He then turns west.

Mikhail looks to the north first, frowning a little. "Clear north," he whispers, before he turns towards the east as he hears Dimitri's words. Readying the rifle.

Maschenko follows the others, running after. He presses his shoulder up against the wall, turning to peek past the rubble to the west. Seeing nothing yet.

Dimitri nods to the others and readies to take his shot. He takes a deep breath.

«Ground Combat» Dimitri snipes Ludeker and hits!

Ludeker suffers 6 wound damage to his head.

Gregor nods to Mikhail and turns North

Novikova frowns, and wipes at an eye with her sleeve. "I see one," She offers quietly. Then Dimitri does his thing. She blinks owlishly "Well, not anymore."

Maschenko smirks grimly as Dimitri shoots the one westward. He blows out a tense breath through pursed lips.

Dimitri says quietly, "One." before cycling another round into the chamber. He stands up from the ground and looks around, "I suggest one or two of us goes north and the others west. This way we surround anyone who may be waiting to the northwest." A look around, "Good idea?"

Maschenko whispers back, "Where are the stairs up? Are they to the north?"

Mikhail looks around carefully, before he looks over at Dimitri, offering the man a thumb upwards.

Dimitri shrugs at Maschenko, "I just guessed that they'd be northwest. Pretty standard building contruction." A look at Mikhail, "You see stairs to the north, comrade?"

Mikhail shrugs, "Didn't notice any stairs."

Dimitri ponders, "Well I see an exit to the west leading north…that must be where they are."

Maschenko mutters, "I can't see a fucking thing in this dust. Alright, let's get going."

«Ground Combat» Dimitri moves West <W>.

«Ground Combat» You notice Dimitri arrive at Buildings.

Novikova seems to be scooting west a little. "I am going to look west then," She nods.

«Ground Combat» Maschenko moves West <W>.

«Ground Combat» You notice Novikova arrive at Buildings.

Maschenko turns around, signaling to Mikhail. His finger jerks upwards, pointing. Stairs here.

Dimitri wipes at his right eye, "Damn, how did I miss these." He looks sincerely downtrodden about the oversight. Curse the sniper who took his eye.

«Announcement from Death!» You can hear the sound of booted, maybe even jackbooted, feet above you.

Maschenko mutters under his breath. "Come the fuck on…"

Dimitri looks over at Maschenko, "I'll scout ahead for us when they get here."

Novikova winces. She doesn't like that sound. Or it could be she just has a massive freaking Reizenstein gifted headache. Her lust for revenge is at war with her neurons advising a sensible course of finding ice, sticking her head in it and hiding. She frowns.

«Ground Combat» You notice Mikhail arrive at Buildings.

Maschenko is quite uneasy just sitting here, his fingers tapping against his leg in the morse code of adrenaline.

Mikhail comes hurrying down from the north, "Clear around this floor," he offers.

«Ground Combat» You notice Gregor arrive at Buildings.

Dimitri nods to Mikhail, "I'll head up first."

Mikhail nods, frowning a few moments as he sees Dmitri leave, and starts to move to follow in that direction. "Let's do it?" he offers to the others.

Maschenko unfortunately can't see anything once Dimitri gets past a certain point on the stairs. "Shit."

Gregor nods, "LEt's go say hello."

Buildings

Coordinates : 3 2

The interior rooms of Pavlov's House have largely been cleared out. Most of the interior walls have been smashed down, making it quite a large and airy space inside the building. Rubble and corpses lie scattered around.

It is currently daytime.

«Ground Combat» You are now peeking into Buildings.

Dimitri holds up three fingers and points east while whispering, "Machine gun." He holds up one finger and points north.

Dimitri looks around at the other soldiers and says, "Smartest…and less lethal move would be to try to sneak in to the north and take out that soldier quietly…later we surround the nest." A shrug.

Maschenko looks slightly ill at that warning. But his heart's pounding and there's no steps back around here. He shifts around to see east, spotting the men Dimitri's pointing at.

Dimitri shrugs and continues, "Or I could just snipe the gunner…he's fairly exposed."

Mikhail nods, "Got a clear shot as well. Try, and if you miss, I'll try," he offers to Dimitri.

Novikova tilts her head, "I could try to sneak in." Silent Kill! Could she pull it off in her state? "I'm already hurt, so it's no big loss or I can play dead if I have to," She nods. "Whichever you need." her voice is soft, but she doesn't look pleased by the idea of going near an MG42.

Dimitri nods to Mikhail and then looks back at the other soldiers, "Draw a bead on every single fucking Fascist…fire when I take my shot at the gunner. Am I clear?"

«Game» Gregor changes his style to Standard!

Maschenko jams the butt of his rifle up against his shoulder, aiming as carefully as he can. He's no sniper. "Ready on your mark, comrades."

Novikova takes a little longer, but she nods.

Gregor readies himself, setting his rifle up to fire. got one.

«Ground Combat» Gregor fires his Mosin-Nagant at Adler but misses!

Maschenko takes care of that. He grits his teeth as blood goes gouting out of the MG'er, switching targets.

Dimitri is definately flinching in the face of the big ass gun, twtiching every time it fires…but he continues trying to make the shot. Be breathes relief when Maschenko kills him finally, but he continues to shudder a bit.

Dimitri shakes his head at Gregor, "He took off to the east. We need to catch him."

«Announcement from Death!» Actually never mind

«Ground Combat» Maschenko reloads his Mosin-Nagant!

Mikhail frowns as he looks to the north, "Did you kill that guy?" he offers to Dimitri, as he doesn't seem to be seeing the enemy up there.

«Game» Novikova tries to inspire the troops!

Maschenko turns back around as he gets another clip pushed into the rifle. "East, you said?"

Novikova shakes her head, "Nyet, running around in here is a terrible idea." She frowns. "Best to move carefully." She's in pain, probably even worse than her first hangover. She smiles as Maschenko hands back the rag, "No problem."

Dimitri nods to Maschenko and says, "I got his arm but he kept moving. I say we leave the wounded animal to die and keep moving up these stairs."

Mikhail shrugs a little, "We head on up the stairs, right?" he offers a little bit thoughtfully. Starting for the upstairs area again.

Maschenko nods. "He can paint the walls a nice shade of red for Stalin. Come on. Zoya, stay in the middle."

«Ground Combat» Mikhail moves Up <U>.

Gregor nods, ready to keep the ascent up.

«Ground Combat» You cannot just move through exits at will when an area is declared a warzone. You must use the +move command. You also cannot move through an exit while engaged in close quarters combat, you have to disengage first.

«Ground Combat» Gregor moves Up <U>.

«Ground Combat» Maschenko moves Up <U>.

Mikhail looks around as he gets upstairs. Frowning as he starts looking towards the east first.

«Ground Combat» You notice Novikova arrive at Buildings.

Gregor looks north first himself.

Gregor says "I can see Pavlov."

Mikhail frowns, "East looks clear," he offers, before he nods a bit at Gregor's words. "Time to go greet the man?" he offers.

Novikova smiles, "Da I see him too." She bobs her head.

Maschenko squints north. "How do you know it's him?" Not that it matters, anyone in Soviet dress will do about now. He waits for Novikova to appear on the stairs and peers back down. "Rascalov's still down there."

Gregor nods, "Sounds good to me, Comrade." He looks to Maschenko, "He's not a Nazi." shrug.

Maschenko blinks. "Damn it, now what."

Novikova smiles a little at Maschenko. She's here! She loses her smile fast though, the headache made worse by the sounds of all the bullets. Her eyes close. "I can't see anyone besides Pavlov," She admits quietly.

Gregor says "Let's make contact and deliver some ammo."

Maschenko grumbles and motions north. "Come on. Rascalov can catch up."

Gregor nods.

«Ground Combat» Gregor moves North <N>.

Mikhail frowns as he hears the rifles. "Downstairs?" he asks, before he adds, "I'll go down to help Rascalov, you guys go greet the man first."

«Ground Combat» Maschenko moves North <N>.

Pavlov barks, "Over here, Comrade! I hope you brought the ammunition. The Fascists will not overrun us today." He spits.

«Ground Combat» Maschenko moves into Rubble pile.

«Ground Combat» Bullets fly through the air!

«Ground Combat» You are now peeking into 9th of January Square.

Pavlov points to the west. "Got one out in the square. Not in a hidey-hole. We can make short work of him." He is vicious.

Maschenko spots the one Pavlov is talking about, pulling his rifle to his shoulder.

«Ground Combat» Ludeker shoots in the general direction of 3rd floor Window <E3> with his Kar98k!

Novikova arrives just in time to see the Nazi get made holier than a piece of cheese in a Catholic church. Holy cow. She blinks owlishly. She lifts her rifle though.

«Ground Combat» Pavlov fires his DP 28 at Ludeker and hits!

Ludeker suffers 8 wound damage to his left leg.

«Ground Combat» Ludeker has been mortally wounded!

Maschenko keeps shooting. This is just getting sad.

Gregor revenges Novis hand!

Pavlov fires off a machine gun burst at the German's leg and rather explodes it. So much for getting away. He smiles, grim.

«Ground Combat» Gregor reloads his Mosin-Nagant!

Gregor reloads and starts messing with his ammo PILE.

«Equipment» Gregor has dropped 7.62-54R x 154.

Maschenko draws in a breath and lets it out steadily through his nose. The continuing sounds of rifles have him turning on one knee, frowning. "They must have found the one running around under us."

«Equipment» Novikova has dropped 14-114mm x 10.

«Equipment» Maschenko has dropped 7.62-54R x 20.

Gregor sets down the extra ammo he was carrying. oof.

Novikova quietly contributes to the pile, almost feeling sorry for Ludeker. Briefly. Almost. Her nagging headache drains away her sympathy. "Good shots," She remarks quietly.

«Equipment» Novikova has dropped 7.62-54R x 71.

Pavlov takes the risk of standing to peer at the German out the window. Yes, that one does indeed look fatally bulleted. He is a perhaps surprisingly unassuming sort of man, with an honest and unremarkable face of good Russian peasant stock. "We have a good firing line from this room. As many Fascists have learned in these last days," he says to Novikova. "So long as we have bullets and guns to fire them, they shall not take this apartment."

Gregor looks, surveying the lines of sight. "Very nice, yes." He settles back, looking at his arm. "Damn, another hole."

Maschenko holds still, listening for more shots coming from under the floorboards. His blue eyes are narrowed, one slowly turning an irritated shade of red from the dust kicked into it from bullets knocking the crumbling walls. A nod to Pavlov, and he pulls his satchel off his shoulder. Quickpatch time.

«Medic Code» Maschenko successfully performs first aid on Gregor!

Novikova smiles and nods at Pavlov, "Da. I was just impressed." And a touch of envy. Poor Novi wipes at her eyes again, frustrated by her inability to shoot too straight. She frowns as the firing starts up though and looks around almost instinctively. She finishes contributing to the pile with a few more clips and peers around a bit. Where…

Gregor looks about, "Guess they found him alright."

Maschenko ties up Gregor's arm, securing a bandage. "Below." He picks his rifle back up, standing. "One's still running around like a chicken with his head cut off. I'm going to check on them."

Dimitri arrives from the South.

«Game» The enemy is near… Pavlov's House is now a war zone!

Dimitri limps in, fresh blood staining his shirt. A look at Pavlov, "Is this the man?" he says wearily. He's not looking as fresh as he did when this battle started.

«Ground Combat» You notice Mikhail arrive at Buildings.

Maschenko turns around at the sound of Dimitri's voice. "Comrade. Where's Malakhov?" Then that sound…vehicle tracks. "Sounds like a tank rollup."

«Ground Combat» You are now peeking into 9th of January Square.

Pavlov keeps his machinegun deployed, turning it ominously toward the sound or rifle fire. But he has no target. So he waits. Dug in in his pile of rubble and bodies. He nods tersely to Maschenko. At turns to Dimitri as he enters the room. "I am Sergeant Yakov Pavlov. You, I assume, our are reinforcements. We have held this house since September. And with this ammunition we shall hold it another day. And by our wills another after that."

«Ground Combat» Pavlov deploys his DP 28!

Mikhail comes up as the rear, just as he hears Maschenko's words, "Have no fear, I am here," he offers with a bit of a grin, offering a bit of a grin in Pavlov's direction as he hears the man.

Gregor nods, in the cover with Pavlov, "This is he." He turns to look out at the square, eyes narrowing.

Dimitri looks over at the PTRD and says when he hears the sound of the tanks, "I can use this gun…do I need to?" A look around…he's obviously a little shaken right now.

(From PzKpfw 3J) Ludeker is barking orders inside the panzer. Apparently the main gun does not elevate sufficiently to blast the commies on the top floor! The roof mounted machinegun, however - that is a different story.

(#19040) Mikhail is missed by the MG 34 mounted on (#19528) PzKpfw 3J!

«Game» Maschenko assists Dimitri!

Novikova blinks, and nods. "Pleased to meet you Comrade." She's fairly well mannered at least. She frowns hearing the tank though and goes quiet. Novi settles in among some rubble, but alas. She hisses as the MG from the tank fires. She will help the Sergeant then if her own rifle is no good.

Maschenko climbs out of the rubble pile, hurrying towards Dimitri to help pull him in. "Come on, comrades…" Whoa, tank gun. He flinches, blue eyes widening.

Novikova is glad she pulled her arm back as Mikhail is cut down. She squeaks. That's gory.

Maschenko sees Mikhail get hit by tank fire. His foot's already on the edge of the rubble pile, ready to sprint across for the man…but even from here he can tell it wouldn't do any good. And then BOOM. "Fuck!"

(From PzKpfw 3J) Ludeker spies another target, the barrel tracks towards new victims.

«Game» Maschenko assists Dimitri!

«Ground Vehicles» PzKpfw 3J moves North <N>.

Maschenko does the best he can helping out. As Dimitri has to reload, he winces. Yeah, run tank, run!

Pavlov shouts, "Keep at it, Comrade!" Encouragement.

Novikova nods, "Good job!" She offers then pauses. Hey wait. What's that metal thing in her jacket? Uh oh.

Dimitri looks back at Pavlov, "It's escaped to the north," he says in a sad voice, "I am sorry, Comrade Sergeant." A look over at Mikhail on the ground, "Sorry, comrade."

Gregor looks out at the square now that the tank got away. Hrm. He looks to Mikhail, and sighs, looking back to the open area.

«Medic Code» Maschenko successfully performs first aid on Dimitri!

Pavlov grunts. "It did not pass our doorway unscathed. The Fascists must know they will pay dearly for darkening our door. Is this all of your number?" A look to poor Mikhail. "I wish we could bury our comrades. Well. We shall make the Fascists pay for that, too."

Maschenko sighs quietly, looking over at Pavlov. "Comrade Sokolof is in the basement, he was hit badly. I need to go see to him, and to the rest of the injured."

«Equipment» Novikova has dropped Antipersonnel Mines.

«Equipment» Novikova has dropped Antivehicular Mine.

Pavlov nods to Maschenko. "Get them tended to and back in fighting order if you can. We need men manning the watch points at all hours. With the square below us, this is too fine a shooting point to lose to the Germans. Dig in. We have not taken one step back today. We shall hold to that tomorrow."

Gregor nods to Pavlov and settles in with his rifle to cover the square. Grr.

Novikova nods at all this. Novi looks a little tired. "Do you want me to stay here or go down with you?" She offers quietly to Maschenko.

Dimitri shakes his head at Mikhail's corpse and sits down in the pile of rubble.

«Ground Combat» Pavlov reloads his DP 28!

Pavlov reloads his machine gun. In case he finds more fascists to kill.

«Game» Dimitri unwields his PTRD!

Maschenko shakes his head at Novikova. "Stay here. I'll get Efim and come back to look at you. Stay strong, now." He gives a sharp, respectful nod to Pavlov and gets up, hurrying off towards the basement to play fetch the injured.
