Civ V Doesn't belong to me...
Cpt. Gians of the 2nd Squad, 78th company, 4th Artillery Division, 2nd Armoured Battalion, 1st Grand Army of the Empire sits on the bracing foot of a Mark 32 Howitzer with a clipboard in his lap and a pen in his left hand. There are men shuffling around cleaning out the barrels of other artillery pieces. Shifting Ammo into collection areas next to an Artillery piece. Several men sit on a Jeep smoking and playing cards.
'My Dearest Margaret,
It has been a year since we met at Cumae. I think of our liberation of that city often. We have come far from that day...
We are now around the African Sea near the Gulf of Sidon. We are now assaulting Satsuma. The Japanese homelands are deep into the Jungle, and the jungle reaches temperatures of about 130 degrees. Many of the men don't even bother wearing shirts and many are so hot they don't wear trousers...
I feel sorry for our infantry, their armour is so thick and the air is so stuffy. They drop more of heat exhaustion then actual casualties.
Last night the infantry were fired upon at Hill 393, that's right above our current firing position. We could see the flashes rippling through the trees. We shelled the Hilltop for two hours...
The Same hill top had a massive wave of Jap (Only using the Slur for the sake of the Story!) soldiers trek up to it. As our men charged we [the artillery] fired on the hill, as a massive bomber flight flew over head.
When the sun rose, smoke drifted over the hilltop and we had to rely on Coordinates given by Bomber Radiomen.
I wish you the best my Dear Margaret, give your Mother my love and tell young Friedrich his father loves him.
I love you Margaret, Johann Gians.'
Cpt. Gians signs the letter and addresses it. he hands it to the Postal Officer and goes to his tent..
