Location: Abbeville.

Pvt. Martins and Sergeant Godspeed’s Report. Light Recon unit.
“There’s a bunch of krauts occupying Abbeville. There’s very little activity in the left to Chateau but heavy activity on the city. It looks like they’ve brought some panzers too. Looks like Model four, should be a piece of cake to our anti tank guns and M10 tank destroyers…there seems to be couple of heavy MG42s occupying the church and few of the houses. Damned krauts blew up a house over there. We are continuing our spotting over.” – Sgt Godspeed

I think it might be a good shoutcast to promote EIRR to show how intense some battles can be...
