Ready for action, I have finished the Command Post for the US Forces as they battle the Martian Invaders in All Quiet on the Martian Front.
The observant of you will notice the Commanding Officer is reading a dispatch from a runner of the 24th Michigan! http://pzgeneral08.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
The US Army still relies on semaphore flags to give instructions to the platoons on the lines. A radioman sends and receives transmissions to higher command.
"You Michigan boys stopped the Martians and counter-attacked at the Temperance crossroads? BULLY, Man....BULLY!!"
"Anyone who tells you lads they aren't scared is either insane, a damned fool or a liar....but I have no doubt you men will do your duty...."
