Art of Seduction Step 1: Pretend you are a lost tourist.
It’s been a brutal weekend but still Allison to Lillia has kept me intrigued. While the old man was captured he did prove himself as one of those old commandos who for some reason still remain fit at ages over 30. Well if that 50 some ex-spetsnaz grandfather of a friend can still look formidable enough to beat people up I guess ex-SEAL Walter could beat up a fat sergeant and a buck private. Looks like Walter could be the gun toting stoic of his own FPS after all. Nevertheless Allison has proved her wisdom and earned her laurels as a Fallschirmjager by skillfully infiltrating herself and Wil into the local base.
I take it from you scowl that this Private Rune ain’t ranking high in you book, Allison.
Quit acting Wil you know you love that wink…
Avast a blonde lady pilot! Time to get on her six…
While Allison is as glorious as ever a new man has been named and Ker Benedict and soon to be ally has made his official entrance. As Allison calls him 2LT Love Letter, she has proven most perceptive as 2LT Love Letter wasted no time in trying woo his female ground crew. The man definitely likes blondes since he bothered to remember Allison. Hopefully he will be of some help to Allison in her quest and he still needs to apologize for shooting her down in that unarmed trainer.
Hehe boy is he going to be pissed when he sees that there aren’t any donuts…
That guy is hauling ass because he thinks its Krispy Kreme.
Great name.
Walter probably found the treasure on his way back given how he’s the only one who struggled to live on after his unit died off. Given his lock picking abilities and weapons training he probably was a great commando in his younger days. For some reason those spec ops guys I run into stay fit even into their forties so it’s not that big of a starch to see an ageing commando beat up a bloated garrison trooper and a kid private. The fact that those garrison troops weren’t breaking out the heavy armor tells me that they were probably Luftwaffe ground crew playing with their Kar 98ks. Though in the end Walter did fight his last battle and did send off Allison in a new seaplane fighter, so it was not all in vain. Thankfully Wil has a photographic memory and we shall soon see what this treasure is.
The one you tore up Allison…
Allison you should have said that you just “had to see him again”…
Happy Allison is fine too.
As I said before Allison’s selection of that private was most inspired as the boy was clearly a boot who was so utterly terrified of his superiors that he was on the verge of wetting his pants. Seeing as how he never put down his weapon I surmise the poor boy has been sleeping with his rifle for some time. Allison may be a corporal she has the makings of an officer, hopefully when this scarp is over she can earn a squadron command. I was delighted in her naming of Benedict as 2LT Love Letter. It’s so blunt and snarky. Nevertheless Allison is falling hard for Wil as even Love Letter looked a bit irritated that he lost out to Wil.
There was a lot of fireworks this time around but this stands out as one of the better gun wanks in recent memory for me because some one was dong their homework. I just love how they added all those little things like those Kar 98k guys actually using their bolts and the three round volleys. The Luger that Walter was using was never fired more than eight (the number of rounds per ) times in succession and included a magazine change. It also helps that the Luger had excellent accuracy making the ranged barrel shots more believable. Things like this make me happy although their rendition of the volksstrumgewehr 1-5 had an extended stock, nevertheless a close enough approximation of one of the more obscure weapons of the 1940s. I like how they kept the German feel of it in the caps, jack boots, and small arms in the Sou Beil Wehrmacht.
Best war trophy ever.
Seal Team 6?
Soon to be the Red Baron.
Well there is going to be a real dogfight next time and Allison is outnumbered 2 to 1 I hope her flying will be magnificent.
Press z or r twice.

Question is, are seaplanes normally fitted with machineguns of any kind? I don’t want to see her barrel rollin’ and fleein’ again
What I would like to see is how the confession between Allison and Wil turn out. Wil seems to be the laid back type, but I am sure he will eventually come to his senses to see how much Allison likes him. Can’t wait for next episode!
Haha you gun fanatic you. Most of that gun talk just went straight over my head, but it’s nice to know that they’re keeping things relatively accurate.
What king of floatplane is that.
@Shin
There were military float planes used as fighters during the 1914-1940s and larger flying boats like the Catalina were outfitted with guns. I am sure that our aspiring fighter pilot is keen on downing at least one bogie.
@Dando008
the confession will probably be long in coming but it will be all the more sweeter for it.
@Nagato
What can I say I like it when people do their homework.
@Pawn
It is seems to be a fictitious design though overall it fits into the period as many novel aircraft concepts were tried out during the period.
That plane design certainly is novel, it looks like it’s going backwards! Anyway great post, it’s really interesting to learn the little historical details I don’t know about. I really wonder what’s going to happen in this series now because I thought it would mostly be about finding the treasure but next episode they’re there it seems.
@marmot
Pusher propellers aren’t unprecedented but they fell out of favor because debris more easily collided with the engine during take off and landing. the other problem was that in single engined fighters a rear facing engine tended to crush the pilot int he even of a crash. There are some modern aircraft that use it but not many.

THAT is exactly what I studied (in the past THREE months!) for English. What a surprise it was for me to see this phrase pop up here!
