The battle of Amsterdam-Personal log

Report- 8:30 erep time, day 2067-Maine
I crouched behind a small barricade we had constructed in the business district of Portland. We have taken thousands of casualties, the Poles just keep on coming though. I’m covering a retreating contingent of the 7th division of C4. Alongside me is Xpotion and Xavier3. It looks like we don’t have much of a chance of holding back the tide.

Report-9:30 erep time, day 2067-Maine
DMV3 has ordered us to retreat! We are falling back to the airport and as I write, transports are flying in from NY to pick us up. Apparently they held JFK long enough to secure us some air power. We scramble onto the plane as escort fighters strafe the advancing Polish forces.

Report-9:40 erep time, day 2067-Over Nova Scotia(I think)
We’ve gotten onto the transport and we can still see the rising clouds of smoke from the battle. I sit here with Haselrig and Sam Patriot as we start to fly over the island of Nova Scotia. Suddenly, Deficius comes on the radio talking about some sort of redeployment. God! We haven’t even patched our bullet holes from the battle and we’re already being flung into another fight! Apparently, the Dutch have started a revolt in Amsterdam and all the retreating forces from Maine are headed that way.

Report-1😇0 erep time, day 2067-Near the Azores
The pilot is trying to get us past spanish air patrol near the azores so we can refuel in Funchal. It sounds as if they will let us pass as long as we stay away from the island itself.I hear that Dutch fighters have just gotten the news of our incoming. If we make good time, we could be there by 11:00. It’s good news!

Report-11:30 erep time, day 2067- South of Amsterdam
We have touched down in Amsterdam. Polish Anti-air fire hit our landing gear over occupied France so we had to land in a field outside the city. TimbusReven and I stand up and stretch out the stiffness from the crash landing, Aries Prime, their Defense Minister, radios us saying that fresh troops are needed at the south side of the city. We hitch up our gear and head out.

Report-12:00 erep time, day 2067- Amsterdam
We engaged in a firefight with the units at a Polish checkpoint on the outskirts of the city, while elements of EZC drew away their attention, WDWarrior took up a rocket launcher and blew the guard station straight into hell. We were in. While Dutch resistance fighters charged the polish lines, the 5th division of C4 set out to flank a Polish bunker near a park. We are now getting radio chatter from SHIELD and SWORD about a tank squad giving them trouble by blasting down buildings to slow their advance through the streets.

Report-3:00 erep time, day 2067-Amsterdam
Sorry to be gone for so long. A lot of fighting happening. We blasted through the first wave of tanks with the help of USAF bombers, but we are now falling back due to polish reinforcements of artillery and airpower. While I write this, EZC stealth fighters led by yarox15 are engaging Polish strike bombers. Tanks are advancing on us and the only thing keeping our position from being overrun is the courageous actions of Jason Corleone. He charged a polish tank and sticky bombed it, and with that, a perfectly placed sniper shot from SHIELD marksman Carthan eliminated one more problem for the resistance. Unfortunately, Radio chatter is indicating that Polish infantry are fighting through a Resistance stronghold located in a shopping mall and have set up the building as a mortar point. They will soon be raining mortar fire on us.

Report-5:00 erep time, day 2067-Amsterdam
We have been getting harassed by that mortar setup for a while, so a member of EZC by the name of Flashback1 and I are scouting the area in preparation for an airstrike. Resistance seems to be light. It appears that the Polish force has moved on and left only enough of a crew to operate the mortar. We swept in and took out the team, but US-AIM air units we’re comin in hot to demolish the building, so we had to clear out like lightning! We just got out of the raid area when the first bomb struck the center of the building and flung glass out, injuring my partner.

Report-6:00 erep time, day 2067- Amsterdam Camp 6
When we got back, members of EZC and C4 had teamed up to bulid a pretty nice camp for the night. Food was cooking, tents were being set, and perimeter duties were assigned and held. Dauntless2000 was running the supply depot, and as I checked out the renovations our 2 units had made to the city, I asked him about how we were doing on air drops. He said, and I quote,”we have plenty of food, weapons, and shelter, but the supplies didn’t include any fresh mattresses, so we’re sleeping/misc. in the dirt tonight!

Report-7:00 erep time, day 2067-Amsterdam Camp 6- hut 14
Settling down for the night. It’s been a good day, but the night will be exhausting with having to do rounds as a patrolman. I can already hear the irritated moans of those picked for the first watch. Jet lag from the earlier flight has hit most of us, so tonight will be one of those nights you have to be shaken 20 times to be waken up.

Report-1😇0 erep time, day 2067- Perimeter station 2

Got up at 10:00 to start border patrol, turns out that fighting has actually been pretty serious. Polish forces are launching night raids, and they have broken through on multiple fronts. We are losing men and I recently held back a melee attack led by elite guerilla teams. We may have overstayed our welcome

Report-5:00 erep time, day 2068-Amsterdam airfield
We are pulling out. We are unable to hold back the tide and polish forces have us right where they did in Maine. It is a dark day for the dutch, may the FSM help them all.
