Bonus discussion question:
Elements of the 24th Mechanized Infantry Division are still taking orders from the Clinton Administration. It is D plus five and the 24th (-) is advancing to support an airmobile attempt to secure for the Clintonistas the assets of the Anniston Army Depot which is being held by a composite force of regulars, National Guardsmen and militiamen under orders from the Governor of Alabama.
The 24th (-) is driving west out of Georgia, having first secured the Atlanta area. Your unit has been assigned the task of harassing and delaying the enemy as much as possible. At this precise moment, you find yourself cut off from your squad after some particularly intense street fighting in downtown Anniston.
You are on the third floor of a brick office building in a corner office looking out on the intersection below. You are alone in the room except for a dead 24th Mech trooper, whose buddies you can hear clearing the rooms below you. You search the dead man and strip him of an AT4, a Claymore mine and two fragmentation grenades.
You are armed with a semiautomatic AK47, a .45 caliber pistol and a LAWS rocket. You have about fifty rounds left for your AK and one magazine for your .45. The dead trooper's rifle, an M16A2, has a broken stock and is useless.
In the intersection below, three armored vehicles pull to a stop. A man gets out of vehicle A and jogs back to vehicle C. You realize that from your perfect vantage point you can nail two of three vehicles with your AT rockets. You have maybe a minute or two before the hostiles below start up that last flight of stairs to you.
What do you do? Specifically, which vehicles, if any, do you target woth which weapon and in what order? What use can be made of the Claymore? What can you do with the frags? How did you get into this mess in the first place? Why did you vote for Perot in '92?
VEHICLE A Bradley Fighting vehicle
VEHICLE B M113 with .50 cal
VEHICLE C. M577 Command Vehicle
