[Lt. Ketch]

Still plugging away at this.

Turn’s Story
2nd. Lt. McGee of AOPB heard the radio buzz again and again. It appears that someone was taking pretty serious pot shots at the Attack birds. After listening for a moment and scanning the horizon west of him, he got on the horn himself. “Major Fox”, he said “I’ve got eyes on the MANPADs. They are entrenched West North West of my position about 1.5 klicks.” The reply came back. “Confirmed 2nd Lt.. Forcast calls for light to heavy showers. Arrange it would you.” McGee targeted the troops with a weapon that he didn’t have and make the appropriate calculations. Next he called 2nd Lt. Coolidge of CTMS MRA 120, 1st. Lt. Miller of AOMB A 105(3), and 1st. Lt. Philllips of Divisions 81mm Mortar and told them where to target. He then asked S. Bell of Disions 120mm Mortar and told him to adjust a little SW of his current plotting. Then he put radioed 2nd Lt. Fowler of AOMB B 105(3) and asked for a smoke screen to be put right on top of those shoulder launchers. He radioed Major Fox again. “Light to heavy showers arranged and expected.” He then gave him the ETA of Steel Rain. “Good work, Lt.” Fox replied. McGree sat back with satisfaction. Almost exactly 1.5 Klicks north of him, Fox’s driver stopped the Abram on the east side of the pit. Fox could see the smoke from the Strela launchers in the distance. He intended to watch this show personally. Before and beneath him, almost a full two companies of troops and equipment prepared to charge right into the face of the enemy. The mine belt had been breached and 1st Lt. Mathis prepared to lead the charge into the first of the enemy’s camps. They would charge after the first storm front of Steel rain fell. It seamed almost quiet with anticipation. Fox sighted his weapons and ordered all men on full alert.
