Never Leave Bernard In Charge

Von Manteuffel · 10-19-07, 06:25 AM

Before heaping even more calumny on the unfortunate Bernard, we should bear in mind that he could have been the victim of a new secret weapon of the Tommies - the moving bridge pylon. It's believed to work a little like the famous Wooden Horse of Troy. A number of crack troops parachute in, each carrying a section of steel pylon. Under cover of darkness, they build the pylon so that it looks like part of an existing bridge and connect it with underwater steel cables to the shore. They then hide in the shoreline undergrowth and wait for an unsuspecting U-Boat to come along - Just as the U-Boat is about to sail under the bridge, they heave on the cables and pull the false pylon into its path. A collision and the subsequent loss of the U-Boat is inevitable.

As all new Kaleuns who are learning to manouvre and navigate their vessels know, this same underhand and dishonourable method is used by the Tommies with moving docksides, anchored ships and even sections of shoreline.

Are there no depths to which they will not stoop?

I always use the Kiel plot option. No trouble wanted. Bernard should be judged for it!
