<CPT Cappanetti hopes that the BRDM is too busy to notice Big Bertha. The BRDM slows down as it approaches Big
Bertha, slowly
scanning the sides of the road... The turret pauses as it scans the area around Big Bertha...Then continues on.
It seems that CPT Cappanetti's luck has held so far today.
The BRDM has passed CPT Cappanetti and Big Bertha (his duece & a half).
The BRDM is located approx. 100 meters west of CPT Cappanetti, traveling fast (30m/rd).>
CPT Cappanetti takes aim at the BDRM with his Tank Breaker, but decides not to waste a precious missile. He quickly
keys the mike and says "Vipers, BRDM inbound on your position...ETA 5 minutes."
"Roger that Rattler 1" replies SSG Cutter.
SSG Cutter turns to SGM Brantley and says "Shall we wait and whack the crew when they dismount to investigate,
or make ourselves scarce and hope they leave the truck?"
