Operation: Breakout

"''Our mission is to destroy a battery of AA guns that's shooting down our bombers but we have to push through enemy territory and take out those guns before Kraut reinforcements arrive." - BestNightGuard ''over the radio to his allies.

Operation Breakout was a small but important clash between German and Allied forces during the Second Great Butter War. After the D-Day landings in 1944, the Allies launched Operation Cobra in an attempt to breakout of Normandy. Operation: Breakout was devised by BestNightGuard and CcoleHalo in an attempt to support the Allied air forces bombing German positions in St. Lo.

The objectives were straightforward, the Allies would arrive via trucks. An M4 Sherman would accompany them to destroy the German flak guns. BestNightGuard was in charge of commanding the Infantry and Airborne soldiers while CcoleHalo was in charge of Armored and Expeditionary forces. The Allies first objective was to capture a German occupied outpost that held confidential intel. After that, Allied forces needed to build a bridge so the Sherman could cross to the other side. Then, they had to destroy the ammo depot that held the ammo for the flak guns. Finally, they had to escort the tank to the flak guns and destroy them before Allied planes arrived. If the planes arrived before the flak guns were destroyed, then the Allies would have lost air support in St. Lo. Luckily, the Allies were successful in their mission and the planes made it to St. Lo.

Trivia

 * For some unknown reason, the tools used by Allied and German forces had magic powers and could build walls simply by smacking the ground. This was useful to Allied forces when building the bridge.
 * During an interview with German veterans who were taken prisoner in the battle, it apparently hadn't crossed anyone's minds to just blow up the tank with a Panzershreck.
 * Over 65 smoke grenades were used by Allied forces.
 * An experimental MG42 was used by German forces during the battle. It had the ability to shoot without reloading, however it overheated easily.
 * The engineer driving the M4 Sherman was a nervous 19 year old with bladder problems becuaes EVERY TIME ONE SOLDIER WASN'T NEAR THE TANK IT WOULD BACK UP UNTIL SOMEONE STOOD BY IT! IT WAS A TANK! A TANK!
