<CPT Wolfe turns towards the prisoner and says ""Let's go you!!!! MOVE YO BUTT!!" He then takes
up a good position to cover Cutter and the prisoner, and occasionally checking his 6.
SSG Martinez looks up at CPT Cappanetti and says "should I go check it out? If so, I'll give the area a wide
berth...since you have the Mk19.">
SSG Martinez reaches back and tugs on the pant leg of CPT Cappanetti and says "Sir, Sir, did you hear me?"

<Lee then turns to Ikeman, "The only concern I have about heading west is that most of the Soviets are
concentrated along the German-Polish border. We can wait until things quiet down a bit then head west."
"I'm wondering what our Danish friend is thinking." Lee then looks at VanClete.>
Lee asks Josef "What was the last information you had on Ostrow? And what about those small villages? Do they
have Soviet or Polish soldiers? Do you have any news of towns to the west or south?"
Lee then turns to Ikeman, "Ikeman, you were in Corps recon, what information do you have on those areas?"
he waits then offhandedly, "I don't think we can expect much help in the way of supplies. I'm guessing this
village is very poor."
SFC Ikeman looks at CPT Lee: "I don't think heading North is what we want to do, I still think West to southwest
is our best bet. I also think we should start moving again soon. The lines are moving fast and we don't want to
get swept up."
Josef says "I do not know the situation in Ostrow, other than there are rumors that there was a major battle
in the area. Based on that, the information I have is useless. As for the surrounding villages, my scouts are checking
on the current situation as we speak. I have little up to date of the towns to the west or the south, as I have
kept my scouts close to home since the start of the U.S. offensive. I will see what information my scouts return
with, as that was part of their mission."

<SFC Kartz calls out in German.."Come out with your hands up, I have you in my sights and while I am a
soldier I feel particularly giving, if you surrender now we will enjoy some strong shnapps, and some Knackwurst.">
Kartz' realizing, that whoever was out there did not understand German,
repeats himself in Russian and then finally English....
SFC Kartz finally sees the guy walking around my CART and horses, and lets out a sigh of relief..
"Hey are you an american? I am SFC Kartz James A. Who might you be? curiously Kartz still has a nervous finger
twitching around the triggers of his double barrel shotgun (though its not pointed at anything specific....
<As he moves north, he hears something called out...sounds like german to him, but he's not sure. Moving more
cautiously, he heads towards the voice. He scans the woods, looking for the person that called out, but fails to
see anything. After several more minutes of sneaking, he spots several horses, but no people.>
CPT Whitedog scans the area the horses are in for any persons under cover.Seeing no movement, he moves to circle
the north side watching for movement and listening for someone to home in on. CPT Whitedog looks for info on who
he is dealing with or the person behind the voice sounding like german.
He hears a voice call out in russian, then english. He finally spots the individual that has been speaking.
Lowering the mp5 to hold it across his chest, CPT Whitedog replys "CPT Whitedog US Army, what unit you with
SFC Kartz. I've got a horse out there mind if I go Bring him into your camp."
Holding the mp5 with his left hand still on the grip, Cpt Whitedog slowly moves his right hand up to pull back
the to of his ghillie suit to reveal his green beret, and his native american heritage.
