-====== Ambush on the Road ====== 
-<WRAP third column> 
-{{INLINETOC}} 
-{{:​colonial_pact:​sarp_spacer.png?​40|}} 
-</​WRAP>​ 
-===== Outline ===== 
------ 
-  *<color #​ed1c24>​Conditions:​ 2AM, overcast, light fog, heavy rain.</​color> ​ 
-  *Charlie Tank of 1st Platoon 'The Red Dogs' introduction of crew and position. 
-  *Overheads of approaching targets and noting the surrounding forces of the ambush. ​ 
-  *POV from lead truck, introducing a peasant soldier who dies to a tank round. 
-  *POV of 1st Combat Team as they engage dismounts from the other side of the valley. ​ 
-  *Dumauri element from the middle of the convoy dismounts and escapes into the treeline, they begin moving toward the dismounts of 1st Platoon. 
-  *1st Tank Platoon begins taking accurate tank fire from demi-human crewed tanks midway down the convoy. 1st Platoon begins returning fire as Charlie Tank deflects a hit off the turret face. The offending vehicle is killed in return. 
-  *The company entrenched opposite to 1st Platoon is now dividing their attention between servicing vehicles with ATGMs, pinning down the dismounts immediately around the convoy, and holding off the quickly advancing dumauri company who's enhanced senses and movement make them difficult to deal with.  
-  *Alpha and Delta tanks of 1st Platoon begin firing air burst fused HE shells both over the targeted convoy and toward the advancing Dumauri, some find cover and stick to it, others merely begin to run faster up and toward 1st Platoon'​s dismounts. ​ 
-  *With most of the convoy'​s vehicles burning and their dismounts following the Dumauri away from the direct fire of the tanks said assets begin to push forward, some dismounts attempt to fight as they reach the burning wrecks of the convoy, some score hits with shoulder fired anti-tank weapons. Alpha tank suffers a blown off track, in exchange the five man unit is obliterated by a main gun HE round fired by an excited gunner. Bravo tank halts in place to cover Alpha as Charlie and Delta push beyond the convoy and into the throngs of fleeing troops. 
-  *The Dumauri reach the first group of amazed dismounts, some dying to close range rifle fire, the others returning in kind before attempting to bayonet their foes. Others draw melee weapons and soon the first position is a messy close quarters fight. ​ 
-===== Writing ===== 
------ 
-They were less than two days out from what most had started to call '​I-Day'​ or Invasion Day, the memories of the young sergeant and colonist were still seered with images for foreign vehicles and uniforms storming into his home settlement. The three bodies of his eldest siblings behind him as they made their run for the armory and their vehicle. However something drew him from the dread of the flashbacks. 
- 
-"Looks like they'​re coming right down the road James!"​ An excited voice filtered into his helmet'​s COMs, he couldn'​t see the source, Robin, the youngest, preferred the hatch down.
