So they approach the mentioned area, and then the commanding officer sends a scout to gather information and report back. The scout detects suspicious movement in the trees using binoculars, but he is to far away to form an opinion about it, so he decides to come closer using all of his scouting skills. So he starts to approach the forest in question, but with his hands up. Why? « Last Edit: Jan 1st, 2006, 5:55am by alien » IP Logged Desi Dhakkan Guest Re: Behind enemy lines   « Reply #1 on: Dec 29th, 2005, 4:46pm » Quote Modify Remove He didn't want to die.     His commander knew that if the scout does not come back within certain amount of time, he must have found them in the forest.   IP Logged alien Guest Re: Behind enemy lines   « Reply #2 on: Dec 30th, 2005, 6:10am » Quote Modify Remove Plausible, but surrender is not in his creed, as he is instructed to avoid capture at all cost, because otherwise he might reveal the location and strength of his platoon. Of course, this is just talk, but let us presume that this scout is afraid of no man, and following instructed engagement of higher command to the letter.     « Last Edit: Dec 30th, 2005, 6:24am by alien » IP Logged john fraser Guest Re: Behind enemy lines   « Reply #3 on: Dec 30th, 2005, 1:22pm » Quote Modify Remove He was walking through deep water toward the forrest and had his hands up to keep his weapon dry IP Logged alien Guest Re: Behind enemy lines   « Reply #4 on: Dec 30th, 2005, 4:13pm » Quote Modify Remove Yep.
