Overview:

DC Placement Situation, "squads" are Hero counters - All was ready for the start of Operation Bluecoat. Captain Moore had honed his men to a high state of readiness and was ready to allow them a day's relaxation. However, Sergeant Charlton had other ideas. Convinced that a German observation post lay just in front of his position, he persuaded Moore to join him in a move to clear any German observers from the Company's front. Together they moved out; Charlton bearing the satchel charge with four others in the front line, three in support, and two men with Moore covering the rear. As the team moved out, a number of Germans were observed advancing rapidly from the other end of the field. Charlton did not hesitate. He spurred his men forward and the two sides closed rapidly, satchel charges changing hands as the expert infantrymen passed, feinted, and moved ever closer to their goal. Controversy long raged in the Regiment over who made the throw that successfully demolished the objective, but the result was clear. As the two sides returned to their own lines, those involved recognized that it was all over now.. . .VC: The first side to PLACE a DC in the opponent's Pillbox location wins immediately.
