Our friend in the Warta came by to give us some bad news. One of the prisoners they took is singing loudly. He claims they took out a group of Americans traveling the roads north of Krakow. He provided us with the location of the ambush and a cache where they had hidden the Americans personal effects. Cap took all of us out to the site.
They'd left to the elements for more than a week. We took their tags, buried them, and marked the site as best we could. Maybe, once this is all over, they can be brought home.
We were not in the best of moods as we made our way to the cache. Cap and Leo told me to stop a good ways out. I killed the engine. We could all hear another engine and the squeal of tracks from up ahead. Leo and Lou dismounted and scouted ahead.
Moon-Pie came back shortly. There was a BMP at the cache site and the crew was dismounted and clearing it out. Mix of uniforms, so he didn't think it was Poles from Krakow, and anyway... marauder cache. Cap doesn't believe in coincidences and neither do I.
Course, I got left with the OT while the rest snuck up on them.
They took them by surprise. The turret gunner got sniped, the dismounts were machinegunned down and two grenades got put down the BMP's hatches. Somewhere in the excitement Doc caught a few rounds, but she walked back to the OT under her own power. She says she'll be fine.
We now own a BMP. Course it has no speedometer, fuel guage or any other instrument left in the driver's seat. Worse, the gunner's position is shredded too. The 30mm's sight is still good, but I'm going to have to replace the ATGM station. Even worse, there were, like, guys in there when the grenades went off. Minestrone Soup.
We did find a stash of US gear. Lot of 16's, a few 60's and SAWs. Some weird shit too, lot of papers. They did a trip up the Vistula from the 2nd Marine's landing site, stopped in Lublin and were trying to reach the 5th when everything fell apart. We're going to drop it all off with our good freinds.

What's in the box, the box, the box.
Just add water!

Damn, damn damn. Too much weird and bad bullshit today. IF I write a fraction of it anyone reading this would think me a liar or mad. Perhaps later.
