'Fuck me!' Patterson's visor blackened momentarily as the night sky lit up with the flash of what could only be a small nuke, 'What the fuck are our people playing at?'

Looking around at his small team, smaller than ever since the ambush, he made a snap decision, 'Fuck it, we're nixing the search and heading into the town. Bollocks to tramping about Froggy countryside.

Decision made, he ran as quickly as he could down the road, refreshing his visor map as quickly as he could in the hope that he would start to see friendly units appear. The already thunderous sound of battle reached a new high and without a doubt he knew that his battalion was making an assault.

'Leg it! We've got to get inside the town perimeter to get the points!' Not waiting for an answer, nor sparing a thought for the walking wounded who would be left behind he sprinted for the village.

Reaching 20 kilometres per hour, he zipped past a side road, too fast for the enemy tank waiting there to engage him, and too fast to see it himself. It was only when he heard the roar of its engine and the cries of what was left of his command that the knowledge of his blunder sunk in.

Diving to the ground he flipped onto his back as he skidded along the asphalt, desperately trying to get a handle on the chaos that had erupted behind him. It was too little, too late. The four-wheeled Anti-Personnel Tank was armed with four, twin-linked tri-barrel pulsers. Opening up with all 12 barrels at the same time, the gunner vaporised Patterson's people in a blaze of light and a cloud of blood and body parts. Trapped between the tight confines of the high hedges, they had nowhere to go and no chance of survival.

'No!' He screamed, seeing every horrendous death to the height of the tank's belly. Flipping himself back onto his stomach, sobbing with fear, he ran for his life.
