After the loss of Lieutenant Hughes, C Troop still had a mission to complete; getting the wounded tanker back to friendly territory. Word was received that an ambulance jeep would be waiting at a destroyed farm (hex 6-4).
The farm is still in disputed territory so the meet up will have to take place at night. A flock of sheep has drifted in to the area, as has a patrol of Germans. In the dark it is impossible to tell the sheep from the wolves.
A detachment from A troop stands watch. A machine gunner is dug in at the side of the field and a sniper is perched in the attic. An officer waits to give them their next assignment.
The survivors of Troop C aren't out of the fire yet.
