> Head up the hill to try to intercept the Centurion (blue)

You study the map for a moment before you come to a decision.

“Max! Activate Overclock and follow the road up the hill!” You announce.

“It’s Overdrive…” Max corrects you but you ignore him. A Commander’s never wrong! Werewolf complies with your decision, turbine whirring as he easily climbs the hill. You’re jerked slightly as you crest the hill, you ignore it and pull your binoculars up.

You see no tank, as you scan the plain in front of you. You’re about to give up when Leo chimes in.

“Awfully dusty ahead of us.” He mutters. You look again, and just as he said you can see a lot of dust moving west-south-west.

You watch the dust for a second.

“It has to be from the Centurion.” You decide. “Max! Hug the town! He won’t see us coming!” You pick up speed, Max accelerating towards the edge of town before throwing Werewolf into a track straining corner.

“Ruby, gun 90 degrees left.” You say. “This’ll be a drive-by, we stop and we’re dead.” You leave your gunner to do that as you pull back the bolt on the MG 131 and finger the trigger for the smoke grenades. You’re quickly approaching the north side of the hills. You break the cover of the town. You see the Centurion climbing the hill.

FWOOMP FWOOMP FWOOMP

The smoke grenades fly free as you squeeze the trigger.

“Ruby! Contact! 2 O’clock!” You shout. The Centurion fires off its own smoke grenades, shrouding both of you in smoke, as it struggles to turn to face you. You line up the MG 131 and let loose a burst at the turret. It hits the drive wheel, and the Centurion stutters before continuing to traverse. But it’s enough.

“On the way!” Ruby shouts. The shot screams forward and slams into the rear of the turret. The turret stops traversing, and a small white flag pops up.

“Good kill Ruby.” You say over the intercom as Leo relays your victory from the judges. “Let’s head over there, say hello.” That’s what big brother does so that’s what you’ll do too.

> Flex your guns

“Yeah! We won!” You shout. You flex your biceps as you rumble forth. You can hear Ruby laughing from below but you ignore it in favour of trying to rip the seams of your jacket by flexing. Unfortunately, despite your martial prowess, you’re still pretty small, meaning your biceps are also pretty small. Or at least too small to break the seams of your jacket. You note your opposing Commander watching amused as you approach.

“Careful with those yes? What’s a girl like you doing with guns like those?” He jokes back talking in accented English.

“I worked hard for them!” You declare as you slide out of Werewolf. “They’re some of the most dangerous weapons in Germany!”

“I won’t be crossing ye then.” He smiles. “Name’s Jesus.”

“Erika Hermann.” You reply, offering a hand which he takes. “Just Jesus?”

“Ai, just Jesus.” He replies. “Don’t ask, not unless ye get me drunk first!” You both laugh at that. The two of you continue to make small talk as you wait for their tank transporter to arrive. You watch amused as Ruby and Axel go over to fawn over the 17 pounder and Max and Leo start a game of Hokm with the Jesus’ driver and radioman. Eventually, the transporter arrives.

“This be my cue little Hermann.” He rumbles with a small smile. “Do be taking care of yourself yes? Next time I’ll remember ya speed trick.” With that, he departs to oversee his tank being loaded onto the transporter.

> Organize a girls night with Ruby and whoever else from Ōoarai you can find

“A girls night!” You say as you dismount Werewolf. Fritz and his girlfriend are waiting for you by the transporter that’ll take Werewolf back to Ōoarai. “We’ll have a girls night Ruby!”

“Eh?” She pops her head out the turret and climbs down after you. “Sure, sounds like fun.” You make a hum of approval and walk over to your brother.

“Good job kid.” He moves to ruffle your hair, but you bat the hand away.

“A girls night!” You proclaim. He looks confused.

“A girls night?” He repeats. “What does that have to do with me?”

“It means I need your room.” You explain, as if to a five-year-old. “So, find somewhere else to stay.” You idly wonder if antagonising Fritz so much is a good idea, but you ignore the smart part of your brain. He looks ready to argue, but Yuzu chimes in.

“You can stay with me Fritz.” She smiles at your brother. “Let Erika have her-“

“Nope!” You interrupt. They both turn to look at you. “Yuzu’s coming. Attendance mandatory!” Fritz looks ready to argue again, but Yuzu puts a hand on his chest.

“It’s ok Fritz, she just wants to get to know her brother’s girlfriend, right?” She looks to you and you nod. Fritz glares at you for a moment before sighing and throwing you the keys.

“I’ll bunk with Axel.” He mutters in a voice that promises retribution. You pull out your secret weapon.

“I love you Frit!” You say with a cheeky grin, using the nickname you used when you were too young to say his whole name. He glares at you again, knowing exactly what you’re doing but eventually gives in.

“Love you too.” He grumbles. You lean up and give him a kiss on the cheek before he stalks off to find Axel to inform him of the situation.

.

.

.
As well as Ruby and Yuzu, you also invite Miho and Yukari as well as Rosehip and Koume. Rosehip and Koume are unfortunately unable to make it, Koume due to Black Forest regulations on when you can and can’t leave the ship and Rosehip due to the ‘tea garden’ whatever that is.

The girls slowly arrive, Ruby first since she lives in the same apartment building followed by Yuzu then Miho and Yukari. As they make themselves comfortable and dig into the snacks you borrowed stole from Fritz, you decide on what to do.

As the girls talk among themselves, you sit at the dining table. Yuzu’s in the kitchen, grabbing snacks.

“So, Yuzu.” You start. “You’re dating big brother.” She picks up the bowl of crisps from the kitchen and opposite you.

“I am.” She says. “Is that a problem?” She smiles softly, but it’s clear she wants your approval, or at the very least, approval of her relationship.

“That depends.” You reply before launching into rapid-fire questions.

“Who are you?”

“Koyama Yuzu, a third-year student and vice president of the Ōoarai student council.”

“What do you want to do in the future?”

“I want to go to university next year.”

“Got any interesting hobbies?”

“I do some ballet and play the Saxophone.” That last bit is admitted with a bit of a blush.

“Do you love Fritz?” She hesitates for a moment before replying.

“We’re been dating just over a month.” She starts slowly. “I think that’s too early to say love.” You stare her down for a minute, but she refuses to give in, staring back. You eventually break into a smile.

“Smart.” You give her a nod of respect. “Not rushing into things, you have my blessing Yuzu.”

“Aw, thanks Eri-Chan!” She leans over the table to hug you, but you slip her arms.

“Call me that again and I’ll take it back.” You can hear the other three girls laugh at that.

Fritz didn’t bring much with him, but you manage to find the risk set you used to use back home. The instructions are in German, but a little googling reveals Japanese instructions for the three Japanese girls.

“I’ll take Australia!” You proclaim. The other girls quickly also claim regions, with Ruby taking Europe; Miho Africa; Yuzu North America and Yukari South America. “Just to warn you guys, I used to play this all the time!”

Such is your skill that you barely last an hour.

“I, uh, what?” You stammer as Yukari sweeps through your region. You’d been manoeuvring to take Miho in Africa before Yukari appeared from the north. Your stammered protests go ignored as Yukari breaks through your region in order to engage Ruby in a two-front war. Yuzu’s not in a much better position, having been reduced to only one region and Miho’s on the defensive in South Africa. The remaining girls make an alliance, but with Yukari absorbing your resources she’s quickly able to mount a counter. You can only watch in horror as she dismantles each of your opponents one by one.

“Ha! I won!” Yukari exclaims triumphantly, standing up with her hands on her hips. “Fear the mighty loader of – hmph!” She’s cut off as Yuzu throws a pillow at her. That, of course, leads to a retaliation pillow which hits Ruby which in turn misses and hits you. It devolves from there into a messy pillow brawl.

Eventually, you find yourself in Fritz's bed. Except instead of Fritz, it seems you have Yuzu as a hot water bottle. You think she's a good substitute.

After making yourself as presentable as possible without being able to access your room, you take a walk to the railing between Ōoarai and the open seas. Or the port for now. You open your phone and have a scroll through the contacts till you find Kay. It rings once before she picks up.

“Hey! It’s Kay! You doing okay!?” She chirps. You can’t help but smile at the upbeat greeting.

“I am, thanks, Kay. What about you and Layla?” You ask in response.

“We’re all good!” She replies happily. “Layla’s a little sad you didn’t visit during the display though.”

“Well, I have something that might make it up to her.” You say back.

“Oh? What could it be?” She asks. You can hear the smirk in her voice.

“A T28.” You reply casually. You hear Kay choke on the other end.

“No way! That’s next to imp-“ She cuts herself off as she looks at the pictures you just sent, both of the finished thing and the automotive club working on it. “Fritz. We’ll buy this off you.”

“How much?” You ask.

“110 Credits.” She replies. You almost choke at the number but manage to stay cool.

As a rule of thumb, base M4s are worth 50 Credits and upgraded ones about 60. If you ask for tanks, it’d probably be worth more than the credits. (e.g. 120 credits worth of tanks instead of 110 credits.)

“I don’t know Kay, I think it’s worth more than that.” You counter. Taking a breath, you continue. “There’s only six of these in the world Kay, and three of them are in the United States. It’s also in mint condition, no missing parts and our automotive team have gone over it and she runs like a charm.” The last bit’s a white lie, you’ve not actually run it yet. You can hear her contemplating it and you add one last tidbit. “We’re also next door.” You lookout, and behind the Anzio carrier, you can see the large Saunders carrier sitting proudly.

“Fine.” She relents. “175 Credits.” You nod, that’s a good amount.

“And if I were to hypothetically ask for tanks?” You suggest. She considers it for a moment before responding.

“For a T28, that’s doable,” Kay says. “We’ve been upgrading some of our Shermans, so you can take your pick.”

Without taking it into account.

Doing 2 would mean each takes about 4 days compared to 3 if you do one at a time.

>>4310745
I'll say not to get the M4A1s just for the fact they use the 75mm gun vs the 76mm longer runs. M4A3E2 is good if we want some armor. M4A3E8 is just a lower armored E2 with Easy Ride and Stabilized. Gun stabilisation system cost 1 credits, so not worth it, but Easy Ride would be useful but that armor on the E2s. They are also spaced, it has armor comparable to us.

“How about some Jumbos?” You ask. You can hear Kay talking to someone in the background before she replies.

“Three of them.” She offers. You do the maths, that’s worth about 180 credits, making it a fair trade.

“Deal.” You confirm. You hear movement on the other side.

“Clear Ōoarai’s biggest road.” She shouts over a very loud noise you can’t discern. “We’ll be there to pick it up in an hour.”

“Sure?” You reply, not really following. “I’ll tell the Student Council.”

“Good. See ya, Fritz.” With that, she cuts off the call.

> Buy something from the shop

You start walking towards the school which incidentally happens to be on Ōoarai’s biggest road. It doesn’t take long, and soon you’re outside the Student Council’s office. You knock once and wait for the ‘enter’ to come from inside the room. All three members of the student council are there, as well as Otto who’s lounging on Yuzu’s desk. You share a nod with the cat who evidently also has great taste.

“I’ve sold the T28 for three Shermans.” You explain. “Kay says to clear the largest road we have for some reason.”

“Money would’ve been nice, but Shermans are good too.” Anzu smiles. “Keep in mind, we can probably only get two more crews out of the student body.” You consider that. That would leave one Sherman unused, but you can deal with that later.

“I want to buy some things before our match with Anzio.” You say. Like before she turns around her laptop. You take a seat opposite Anzu as Yuzu and Momo go to clear the road. You set aside some money to pay the automotive club, and get to work.

Total cost = 48
- 10 sell Churchill back = 38
- 18% = 31 credits
Ōoarai has 0 credits left Fritz has 24

(Just so you know, the minor upgrades and the Bergepanther arrive today, the tank upgrade package will need to be applied after Anzio unless you don’t want to field the 38t)

(Shermans are in the Ōoarai sheet.)

You place the order, then turn the screen back round. Anzu looks at what you’ve ordered and nods.

“Hopefully, when we win against Anzio it’ll bring us lots of sponsorship money.” She muses. “That’s tomorrow, by the way, so you have the rest of the day to prepare.”

“Got it.” You reply with a nod. You’re about to continue when you hear an ear-shattering roar overhead.

“What’s that!?” You shout. Anzu looks unfazed.

“Looks like Saunders is here.” She says, sliding out of her chair. “Let’s go say hello.” You follow Anzu out of the school and see a very big plane circling overhead.

“Is that Saunders!?” You shout you get no reply from the Council. The plane answers for them, the Saunders logo displayed clearly on the tail. The plane circles once more, before coming in for a landing. It’s a close fit, but they make it with about a quarter of the carrier to spare.

The plane comes to a stop, and the rear ramp opens.

“Hey! It’s Kay!” Kay shouts. She’s atop one of the Jumbos you just bought, as they roll out of the hold.

“Hey, Kay! You doing okay!?” Anzu shouts back getting a laugh out of Kay.

“I am now we have a T28!” She shoots back. “Where is she?”

“Over here!” Yuzu calls, she’s in the commander’s hatch of the T28 with one of the automotive club driving it. You watch as the tank is carefully backed into the hold.

“That was a good find, Hermann!” Kay slaps your back, and you have to fight to stay standing. “You find anything else like that, you let us know!”

“I will.” You promise. You make some small talk with her while the rest of the airlift division secure the tank. Once it’s secure, Saunders takes their leave. You watch as the plane now weighed down by a large tank struggles to lift off of Ōoarai’s relatively short deck. It makes it however and is soon on the short trip back to Saunders.

> Visit the Saunders stall and say hello to Layla

As far as you can remember, Erika wouldn’t need you till later on in the day, you therefore decide to go visit the other imuto in your life. It doesn’t take long to get to get to the display, and you make a beeline for the Saunders stall. Two Shermans sit either side of a stall which houses the firefly’s gunner and a very bored looking Layla. She’s idly scanning the crowd but perks up when she sees you.

“Fritz!” She cries. Layla jumps over the stall and makes a beeline for you. She crashes into your midriff and hugs you. “It’s been a whole week of this display and you haven’t visited!”

“I’m sorry.” You laugh as you put her down. “How have you been since the last time we talked.”

“I’m undefeated in the duelling league!” She puffs her chest out. “So watch out when we fight!”

“Out of how many matches?” You ask.

“Three!” She replies.

“That’s pretty impressive.” You allow with a nod. “But we still haven’t fought yet, so you won’t be undefeated long.”

“Please.” She snorts. “I’ll go all Cologne Cathedral on you!” She points a finger gun at you, which she cocks and shoots. You just roll your eyes and ruffle her hair.

“You said that last time.” You point out as she squawks and tries to comb her hair with her fingers. She goes red and scratches the back of her head.

“Oh yeah.” She mumbles. “I was a bit of a brat, then wasn’t I?”

> “You were, but you aren’t now.”

“You mean it?” She asks, looking up at you. You just nod. “And you’re not lying?”

“I make it a point not to.” You reply. She looks away, trying to hide a smile but failing miserably.

“Thanks, Fritz.” She mumbles, pushing her index fingers together. “I didn’t have many friends at Saunders when I started, cos of being a dick. So, I’m glad I’ve gotten better.”

“Well, unfortunately, I’m your friend.” You add nodding emphatically. She nods along for a moment before her eyes narrow.

“Hey! What do you mean, unfortunately!?” She demands stomping her foot down. Your laughing makes her even angrier. “Come here you kraut!” She lunges at you, and you take off sprinting. While she does a good job chasing you, but you have a foot on her, making the result fairly inevitable.

“Stop. Running!” She huffs. You do as she says, and she limply pulls back an arm to hit you. It doesn’t do much damage. You end up seated on the grass on a hill overlooking the display. Layla resting her head on your lap.

“Hey, Fritz?” She asks, you hum in response and she continues. “Be careful against Anzio, they have a really strong tank.”

“You know anything else about it?” You ask as you stroke her hair. She shakes her head.

“Nuh, that’s all I got.” She replies dejectedly.

“Well don’t worry, I’m used to strong opponents. I fought you after all.” She cranes her head up to look at you and smiles which you return.

Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. Layla gets a call about abandoning the stall and you have to call Erika about whatever she wanted you for.

You remember she said you could bring someone with you in case it got ugly.

You call your sister. It rings twice before she picks up.

“Hey, Fritz!” She answers. “You didn’t come back to the apartment this morning.”

“I was busy.” You reply. “I need your help with something.”

“Aw but-“ She makes to argue, but you cut her off.

“It’s important Erika.” You say. She pauses a moment, before sighing.

“Fine, I’ll meet you by the Ōoarai stall.” She grumbles. “But this better be good.” She cuts off the call, you head for the stall too. As you walk, you dial big Erika.

“Where are you?” She asks, skipping the pleasantries.

“Ōoarai’s stall.” You reply, equally curtly. She hums for a moment before replying.

“That’s out of the way enough, I’ll be there in five minutes.” She cuts off the call, making that the second time today that an Erika has hung up on you.

Eventually, the three of you are assembled behind Ōoarai’s stall. Big Erika carrying some equipment.

“Here.” She shoves a microphone in your hand. “It’s a directional microphone, point it where I tell you.” She then pulls out a small video camera. “Follow me.” She marches forward, leaving the two of you scrambling to catch up.

“Fritz, what’s going on?” Your sister asks as she jogs to keep up with Erika. “Why do we need all this crap?”

“Well Itsumi?” You pass the question on; she just waves you off.

“You’ll find out soon.” She mutters, continuing the march. All you can do is follow her.

You follow Erika away from the display for a good twenty minutes, the three of yours breathing the only thing breaking the silence. Eventually, Erika calls for a halt.

“Get down.” She mutters. “And stay quiet.” You and your sister oblige, ducking into a bush with Erika. She soon calls for a halt and gestures to start crawling. You sigh and follow her, ignoring the view and after a glare, so does your sister. The three of you crawl forward till you crest the hill you’re on. You see a group of Black Forest students, about twenty in total.

“Point the mic at them,” Erika mutters. You comply and put on the headset to listen in.

>Rolled 1

“I’ve checked the perimeter Sagara-Senpai.” One of the girls says. “We’re clear.”

“Good.” A girl who must be Sagara steps forward. She gives another girl a mighty shove, leaving them flat on their ass.

“That’s Koume!” Your sister whisper-shouts. “They’re going to hurt her!” She makes to stand, but Erika rolls over and grabs her.

“Not yet.” She hisses. “We don’t have enough evidence.” Your sister makes to protest, but you glare at her and she reluctantly gives in. You turn your attention back to the scene below you.

“Now listen up Akaboshi,” Sagara says, loud enough you don’t even need the mic. “Opening your legs for the Nishizumis might be enough to keep you in this school right now, but it’s time that changed.” Sagara kicks Koume, stopping her attempt at getting back up. “You’re not going anywhere dog.” She sneers before continuing. You see Erika shoot yourself and your sister a warning glance. Your sister swears under her breath, and you just grit your teeth and listen.

“You aren’t going to return to the Black Forest carrier,” Sagara says, throwing a piece of paper and a pen at Koume. “You’re going to sign this resignation form and leave for good, we’ve even packed your things for you.” One of her flunkies throws an open rucksack, you see shirts, skirts, underwear and some small accessories go flying across the ground.

“Now sign, or we break your legs and sign for you,” Sagara emphasises that with another kick, sending Koume sprawling again. Both you and Erika look to Erika who nods grimly and puts away the Camera. You let slip your grip on your sister, and a dog of war flies forth.

“Erika wait!” You call. You lunge forward, trying to grab her but she slips left, away from you and breaks into a sprint towards the girls harassing Koume. “Shit.” You mutter before turning to the other Erika. “Call someone, now.” You don’t wait for a response and take off towards Koume. You meet a surprising lack of resistance as you run through the crowd towards Koume, you then realise that’s because half of them are on the floor, Erika having torn through them on her warpath. You watch idly as you run, Erika parries a sloppy jab from one girl and responds with a brutal hook which pops her nose like a tomato. You wince and continue to Koume.

She’s still on the ground, you slide to a stop, and fall beside her.

“Hey, hey, it’s alright.” You coo, lightly slapping her cheek to get her attention. Her eyes blink back into focus and she hugs you tight.

“Fritz!” She’s crying. “I thought they were gonna-“ Her voice cracks, and you hold her tighter.

“You’re safe now.” You mutter, gently stroking her hair. That continues for a moment before big Erika arrives next to you.

“Maho’s on the way.” She pants. “Your sister’s sure done a number on those guys huh?” You look over to what was once a crowd. About half of them have been struck in some shape or form, and a couple are on the ground with some something broken.

You find your sister among those left standing, hands inching closer to the neck of the ringleader.

“Fritz, you have to stop her,” Koume says breathlessly. “If an official sees this she may never be allowed to practice Tankery in Japan!”

“Look after Koume.” You mutter to Erika. She promptly takes your position cradling her as you run towards your sister who’s edging closer and closer to Sagara’s neck.

“Erika stand down!” You shout as you approach. She ignores you, so you grab her from behind and pick her up.

“Put me down, Fritz!” Erika flails like a bobcat. “I’m going to end her career!”

“It’s already over.” You grunt, carrying her away from Sagara. “Erika recorded it all, she’s not getting away with it.”

“She hurt my friend!” Erika growls back.

“And so are you!” You shout. That gets her attention. She looks back towards Koume, who’s watching the proceedings, white as a sheet.

“Erika! Please stop! Don’t throw away your career on her.” Koume shouts. Erika gradually stops struggling as you march back towards Koume, weaving through soon to be ex-Black Forest tankers. You put her down as you approach, and Erika immediately scoops Koume in a hug. You take a position behind the girls, watching Sagara’s cronies continue to gawk at you. You ignore them, and hum Erika in an attempt to calm your sister down as you did when you were little.

It works, Erika slowly calms, still holding on to Koume tight as she listens to you sing. You note slightly amused that Big Erika is mouthing the lyrics in time to your humming.

“And what happened here?” You hear a very familiar voice. You crane your neck and see Maho standing atop the hill with a small entourage you used to scout out the ambush in the first place. Sagara makes to speak, but Big Erika cuts her off.

“An attempted assault on Akaboshi.” She says holding out the video camera. “We have evidence.”

“And half of them are on the ground, several with something broken because Akaboshi stopped them?” She asks managing not to sound sceptical.

You say it completely deadpan. From the look Maho gives you, you can tell she doesn’t believe you for a second. You can also tell she finds the excuse hilarious.

“A good thing I got here in time to assist them then is it not?” She replies. The emphasis she puts on ‘assist’ lets you know exactly how un-assisted they’ll actually be.

“That’s not what happened!” One flunky calls out, pulling out a phone. “I recorded the whole thing, that Bit-“ She doesn’t get to finish insulting your sister. A very familiar calico streak wearing a helmet zooms from the treeline snatches the phone in his mouth and makes for treeline again. You make eye contact as Otto makes a run for it and give him a small nod. What a great cat.

“Guess I just have to take Commander Hermann’s word for it,” Maho replies, hiding her amusement behind her anger at what’s transpired. “Erika, Koume. Let us return to the ship so these delinquents may be dealt with.” You give Koume’s shoulder a little squeeze as if to say you’ll back her if she doesn’t want to but she smiles and brushes your hand off.

“I have to go Fritz.” She murmurs as she stands. “Thank you. I’ll not forget this.” Then she adds under her breath. “Why’d you have to go get a girlfriend…” You pretend not to hear than and just squeeze her hand.

“Thank your vice-commander, without her we wouldn’t have known anything was amiss.” You reply. The Black Forest girls trickle out of the area, leaving yourself and your sister the only two people left.

“I’m calling Anglerfish to give us a lift.” You say. Erika voices no objection.

“Looks alright to me.” You say. “But why the Mark IV?”

“They need combat experience.” She replies. “I’m confident Duck team can handle combat, but we don’t know about Shark team yet so Anzio should be a safe fight for them to dip their toes in.”

“Well, I guess I can’t object to that.” You finish with a nod. “While I have you here, shall we go over the map?”

“Sure.” She smiles. “C’mon, let’s use the lounge.” She leads you to the recently installed lounge area. You see a few of the other crews relaxing and duck team using the large screen to watch a volleyball tournament. Miho unrolls a map and places it on the table in front of you.

“So, we’re starting at L15, and Anzio C1?” You ask looking at the map. Miho nods an affirmative.

“That’s right.” She says. “Lots of the terrain isn’t good, and we have to take this winding path to get to the crossroads, so Anzio will probably get there first.”

“And what do you think we should do?” You ask. She hums again and looks at the map.

“I think I’ll take most of us to the crossroads and send some scouts wide.” She decides.

“And who should be the scouts?” You ask as you study the map.

“I don’t know, the terrain isn’t great so I’m not sure who to send.”

(Orange is high ground, Yellow is Anzio, Blue is Ōoarai, Red is difficult terrain only an offroader can traverse. Overdrive cannot be used on that terrain either.)

Werewolf takes the south route through the difficult terrain. Most of the team goes down the middle, pop smokes and Flank along the top blue arrow. Duck Team could use their smoke and throw it one tile

“How about Cheetah team and I scout?” You suggest. “I’ll go south, and the rest of you can head for the crossroads.” You then point to G11. “We can smoke up here and leave Hippo and Rabbit team while the rest of you head north.” She considers it a moment before replying.

“That sounds good, I’m just worried that if they see the smoke, they’ll be real cautious moving forward.” She replies. “We’ll get the smoke grenades ready but only deploy them when they get closer. What do you think?”

“That sounds good to me. Perhaps you put the Tiger P at the front as well?” You suggest. Miho nods an affirmative and scribbles that down on her map.

“That’s our plan sorted!” She smiles at you and rolls up the map. “Let’s go find Yukari and see what she found.”

“Sounds good to me.” The two of you walk out of the warehouse to search for Yukari. It doesn’t take long to find her. Or rather she finds you.

“Miss Nishizumi! Commander Hermann!” You see Yukari in an Anzio uniform waving at you. “My infiltration was a success thanks to your present!”

“I’m glad.” You reply. “Show us what you found.” You follow Yukari to the Student Council room where the Council and Anglerfish team are watching a video. You take a seat next to Yuzu and watch the video.

Like when Yuzu and you visited, there are a lot of stalls selling food. Yukari even passes passed Pepperoni selling the same Neopolitan you had. It’s 300 Yen like last time.

“Say, you wouldn’t happen to know about a new tank?” Video Yukari asks between bites of pasta.

“And how do you know about that huh!?” Pepperoni asks. Yukari starts to metaphorically drop her spaghetti, but Pepperoni just laughs and points to the right.

“You must be in the know!” She laughs. “Duce Anchovy has been driving it around the colosseum since we bought it!” Video Yukari and Pepperoni make some small talk before Yukari leaves for the colosseum.

It’s crowded, lots of Anzio schoolgirls cheering for the Duce. The Camera pans to the tank on display. A P.44…

“Oh! That’s a tough tank!” Miho says, suddenly looking less confident than she did a moment ago. “How could they afford a tank like that?”

You look to Yuzu whose eyes are wide, likely thinking the exact same thing you are.

> “Well you see…”

You cough once and begin to talk.

“Well, you see…” You pause and the entire room turns to look at you. You wince and continue. “Yuzu and I might have visited Anzio before the tournament and helped them with their financial problems.”

“Did you get anything good out of it?” Momo asks, staring at you flatly.

“Two CVs and free lunch for life?” Yuzu offers. Momo sighs and hangs her head.

“Sold out for lunch.” She mutters. “We’re doomed.”

“Well, I found some more stuff,” Yukari interjects, likely saving you from a tongue lashing. “I left a bug in their planning room and we have the composition of their forces.” She says, handing out sheets of paper with some tanks listed. “They also said something about Operation Macaroni but I couldn’t find anything on that.”

“Don’t worry about it Yukari.” You reassure her. “You’ve already done a lot.”

“Definitely!” Miho smiles at Yukari. You spend the next hour in the council room, discussing the team composition of Anzio and thinking about ways to counter the P.44. Eventually, the meeting breaks for the night.

“Fritz!” As you’re leaving the gate, Yuzu approaches you. “Are you free tonight? We’ve not spent much time together for a week.”

“Not today Yuzu.” You sigh mournfully. “I still have work to do.” You explain what happened with Koume to her as you walk. She takes a moment to consider before sighing softly and leaning her head on your shoulder.

“I suppose it’s for the best that you do.”. She says as she squeezes your hand. “Look after your sister, we can hang out after Anzio.”

“I will.” You promise. You lean down to allow her to place a kiss on your cheek before you part ways.

You put down your bag, and take a seat next to her.

“You alright?” You ask. “I know I felt real bad watching from the hill.”

“I’m sure.” She sneers at you.

“What do you mean by that?” You ask, reminding yourself to be patient with her. She glares at you and continues talking.

“You didn’t do a thing; you were content to sit up there and film it.” She says coldly.

“Filming it means it won’t happen again.” You reply.

“But it wouldn’t have stopped it then Fritz! They were going to break her legs!” She shouts.

“You don’t know that they would.” You counter.

“You don’t know that they wouldn’t.” She snaps back. The two of you stare at each other for a minute before you break the silence.

“Look, Erika I understand, I really do but there are better ways than ripping and tearing.” You explain, gently drawing her into a hug. Erika doesn’t respond for a moment.

“She stepped on it.” Erika starts. You wait for a moment and she elaborates. “I made a friendship bracelet for Koume when she was in Germany and that bitch stepped on it. I just saw red and-“ She trails off into your shoulder. You let her rest there, humming Erika once again. Eventually, you hear a knock on the door and a voice.

“Hey Fritz! We’re coming in!” It’s Ruby. The door slowly opens, and she peaks her head around it. “Hey, we heard what happened. We have snacks and a copy of A Bridge Too Far if you guys feel up to it?” You look at Erika who slowly nods.

“We’re down,” You reply.

“Great!” Ruby replies, far more chipper than before. She opens the door and your crew stream in. “Let’s get this party started!”

Monday 10th June (Day 64)

You wake up as usual, Erika clinging to your back. What’s less usual is both of you being spooned by Ruby and Max asleep at the foot of the bed. You idly wonder whether to wake them but decide against it given it’ll be a long day and it’s still early. You take a shower before Erika can steal the hot water and make yourself some coffee, before sitting down at your desk.

> Discuss something with somebody (Yukari)

You leave some breakfast in the kitchen for your sleeping crew and a key for Erika and make your exit. You start walking towards the school and pull out your phone.

“Hey, Commander Hermann!” Yukari picks up on the first ring. “What’s up!”

“I wanted to talk to you about the P.44.” You say. “You able to meet me at the warehouse lounge?”

“Sure am!” She replies. “I’ll be there in ten minutes!” True to her word, when you arrive at the door you see Yukari with a stack of papers on the table beside her.

“Hi, Yukari.” You say as you approach. “What do you have for me?”

“Technical specifications!” She cheers, handing you a page. “Most of them are in Italian, but you can probably understand the numbers.”

“Did someone say Italian?” You turn and see Caesar and the History Buffs at the door. “I can speak Italian, pass it here.”

“Hmm.” She examines the technical specifications and smirks. “See if you don’t know Italian then you wouldn’t be able to read the designer notes which say there’s a small viewport right there.” She points to the upper right corner of the upper plate and you see the small viewport.

“You hit that, and the tank is blind.” Yukari summarises. You nod and file that for later.

“And anything on the CVs?” You ask. Yukari hums and pulls out another set of specifications.

“Well, that’s a bit difficult.” She mutters. “Aside from the rear weak spot they don’t really have any, a gun as big as yours will just spin it like a merry-go-round.”

“That’s going to be fun to deal with.” You sigh. You hear a commotion behind you, and turn to see the tank transporters arriving, as well as your crew stumbling in. “Looks like it’s time to go anyway.”

The trip to the field is not a long one. You ride inside the tank transporter carrying Werewolf Anglerfish team and Cheetah team to the field. As you dismount and begin getting the tanks off the transporter, you notice a 4x4 approaching with a green-haired Duce riding atop it.

(To clarify what you learnt, the P.44 has a rangefinder that if hit will drastically reduce their view. The CVs essentially have no other weakspots since the whole tank is a weakspot)

> Go brief Shark team on what they’ll be expected to do

You decide to leave the pleasantries to Miho. Anchovy might be a friend, but you wouldn’t put it past yourself to say something stupid. You head for Shark team who arrived later than everyone else. Apparently they wanted to travel by sea. You’re not sure how that works given you’re at least 30 kilometres inland but you decide not to question it.

“Ahoy Fritz!” Ogin greats you as you approach. You get a jerk of the head from Murakami; a nod from Cutlass a cheer from Rum and Flint ignores you to warm up her voice. A pretty good reception if you say so.

“Hi, Ogin.” You say back. “You ready for your first match?”

“Well, a ship’s a ship no matter whether it’s on land or sea.” She answers. It doesn’t actually answer anything. You take it as a no.

“Well your job is pretty simple; all you have to do right now is follow Commander Nishizumi and shoot at any targets you see.” You explain.

“Aye, we can do that,” Ogin confirms. “It’ll be exciting to take the old girl out.” She thumps her fist against the tank.

“That’s good to hear.” You nod. “Need any other help?”

“We may be rookie tankers Hermann, but we be expert sailors, and this here.” She points to the Mark IV. “Is a landship.”

“I get the hint.” You reply with a smile, hands up in surrender. “I’ll leave you to it.” You turn and head for your tank, it seems you did so just in time, as Anchovy also makes to leave, hopping back into her car. You give Werewolf a little thump as you climb up.

“Let’s get to work pal.”

“All tanks! This is Commander Nishizumi, remember this is a flag match – We only need to knock out the flag tank. Understood?” She gets a chorus of yeses from the other tank commanders. Not a moment later, she talks again. “The judges have announced the beginning of the match! Panzer Vor!”

“Alright Max, you heard the lady, let’s get moving.” You order. Werewolf’s turbine whines as you move forward, he picks up speed but immediately slows as you go up a very steep incline.

“Overdrive won’t be much use here boss,” Max says through the intercom. You grunt in response, ducking out the way of a low hanging branch as you advance towards a point the map tells you is elevated ground.

“Leo, how are things going for the others?” You ask. He waits a moment before reply. “All good boss, the B1 had a bit of trouble starting up but it’s moving with the others well enough.”

“Good, let’s keep moving.” You order. Werewolf continues to rumble forth
