Kat had regrouped her team of three within the forestry mountains.

"What's the game plan Kat?" Anka asks out of their tanks. The other Shermans leader, Kumi, watches over the tanks.

Kat, sitting in complete silence, contemplates their next moves. The British tanks would soon be upon them if she didn't think, and she didn't have a plan. "Let me think. How many tanks do they have again?"

"They have all ten tanks, none of which are damaged, or scathed even." Anka replies.

"Right" Kat mumbles. "I think that the best option we got is to play the offensive game. We don't have much of a choice, since running would only delay the game more."

"Well we can't just run in guns blazing, that black prince is guarded by Matildas. It would be a pain to even try to charge without being, well, reduced to atoms."

"I know, I know." Kat replies, a tint of annoyance in her voice. "The damn Black Prince is probably going to be behind. We hit from behind."

"But if we fire, we're giving up our position." Anka says.

"I've already accounted for that. As I said before we go on the offensive. But here's how. Guerilla warfare, they're traveling in a pack, we're just three, we just stay solo."

"Guerilla warfare… I like it." Kumi says.

"So your saying we should take out all the tanks, and leave the prince for last?" Anka asks.

"Exactly." Kat says.

"But wait, the black prince isn't the flag tank though, shouldn't we not worry about it?" Anka asks.

"Well we should worry about it, its like the Churchill mk VII, and its a heavy tank. The flag tank will most likely be in the middle. What we do is take out all of their Matildas, and disable the Black Prince. Shoot its treads." Kat says

"So we first take out some Matildas, and then disable the black prince, and leave the flag tank for last, while playing peekaboo while keeping our location a secret? I like it, its a challenge." Anka says.

"Hey!" Kumi's gunner calls, "Contact! Around 1500 meters away!" and points to the little objects in the distance.

""Alright! Everyone know the game plan? Ok everyone into your tanks." Kat yells jumping into her tank.

The engines begin with a hum, and Julia hits the gas, and they speed down the hill. Kat looks over to her crew, and nods. "Ok everyone, we're going to be on our own from here on out. Akina, be at the ready to open fire on the Matildas. Amber, you do you, and Julia, I want you to keep the engine silent, but whenever Akina fires a shot, I need you to move to another location."

"Gotcha!"

"Yes Kat."

Kat nods her head again, and pulls out her radio. "Everyone went into the forest, leaving signs we went into there. From here on out, you're all on your own."

"Happy hunting!" Kumi cries into her radio. Her crew repeats the words, and takes a fist and pound a wall.

Kiri and her tank squadron enter the edge of the forest within a couple of minutes. "Where the hell are they?" Kiri asks her crew.

"I don't know, they've just… disappeared into the forest." Her gunner says.

"Fine, they're gonna play that game. Everyone into the forest! Protect the flag tank!." Kiri radios. She takes a sip of her tea, and thinks of her coming victory. It makes her laugh, and her crew looks at her like she's crazy.

"Don't look at me, just drive!" Kiri snaps at her crew, and they cower back to work Kiri pulls out her radio. "Everyone on lookout, shoot at everything that moves!"

"Yes Kiri!" Comes a reply.

"Thats Commander Kiri to you!" Kiri replies sarcastically. Kiri out of sensha-do never acted like this, she was proper, and more calm, but in Sensha-do she was fiery and ill-tempered.

"Co- commander?" A voice asked over the Radio.

"What is it?!" Kiri asks sharply.

"Are yo- you sure th- that going into the forest is a g- good idea?" Her Matilda flag tank commander nervously asks.

"I am absolutely sure." Comes a calm reply, as Kiri takes another sip of her tea. "They can't get very far, this forest isn't too big, and we have the numbers. They have no chance."

"O- okay." The flag tank commander replies, and gets off the comms. Kiri relaxes back in her tank once more, the Shermans wouldn't be able to do much to them for now.

"Well Darjy, would you look at that! Its gonna be a forest fight!" Kay says excitedly.

"Indeed." She replies.

"This is were us Americans exceed in! Forest combat."

"We'll see about that Kay. Now calm down, you're getting all jumpy." Darjeeling notes as Kay stands up.

"Alisa! Hey!" Kay yells at her friend. "Take notes from this! This will be useful for you to know more tactics!"

"Aww but Kay-" She begins to complain, but Kay gives her a glare.

"Ballon." Kay says, a tint of anger in her voice, referencing the Oarai match

Alisa gulps and nods her head. Naomi gives a snicker, finding this amusing. She blows another bubble and crosses her legs.

"Kay dear, sit down, you're getting over excited now." Darjeeling says.

"Sorry, but forest matches always make me so giddy!" Kay says, sitting back down.

"I can see that." Darjeeling says, holding out her tea cup. Orange Pekoe pours some more tea in. "Thank you."

"Slow it down now Julia. I'm going to the spot. Akina is ready to fire, Amber have a shell at the ready."

"Yes Kat!" all three reply in Unison. Kat hops out the hatch of her tanks and runs ahead. She disappears into the forest, leaving signs of her trail. As she scouts ahead, she lies on the ground.

The silence blanketed her, and she didn't hear anything, except for a faint humming of her engine. She knew the difference between engines, and she kept an ear out for it. Luck had been on her side, when a different humming began.

The earth below her began to shake slowly but surely. She squints, and just around 700 meters ahead, the distinguishable light brown tanks rumble forward. From her tank, they were at least 850 meters, but she trusted in her gunner.

With a signal, Kat gets up, and throws a stone at the tank, painted red. Akina from the inside see's it, and she licks her lips. She aims her gun, and sees her target. "Shouldn't have moved!" Akina says excitedly, and fires.

The shot rings out through the forest, and a tank goes up in smoke. The white flag pops up. Kat yells in delight, and runs back into her tank. All of the British tanks slowly begin to turn in the direction of the shot, as Kat enters her tank.

"Great shot Akina!" Kat compliments as Julia hits the gas. The tanks rushes back into the dark of the forest. All the British tanks fire into the dark, hitting nothing.

Kiri, visibly angry, shouts into her radio, "What the bloody hell just happened?"

"I don't know! The shot came from out of nowhere and took out the tank in front of me!"

"Well, how can you not bloody know?! There was a bright flash, you should have been paying more attention!" Kiri yells. Her crew all gulps, and continue to man their stations. "How can they get away with this?!"

"Uhhhh commander Kiri?" Her radio operator asks.

"What is it." Kiri replies, "What could you possibly need from me?!"

"Our tanks are asking if we should press forward."

"Terrible idea! We split up and hunt the last three, thats how we easily get the win." Kiri says. She takes the radio from her radio operator, and hops on. "Everyone! Split up into groups of three! Every group find the remaining Shermans."

"Ye- yes Commander!" Comes the replies

Anka watches from her hatch, her tank covered in leaves and grass, completely camouflaged. "How are we holding up?"

"We're in position commander, Kat sent her coords of the tanks. We should have a clear shot." Her radio operator says. "Kat says that

"Perfect. Everyone ready?" Anka asks her crew.

"Yes commander Anka!" Her crew yells and pounds their fists on the walls. Anka smiles down on her enthusiastic crew. They wait patiently for the time, and after 10 minutes of waiting, a group of three tanks being to slowly approach their area with sheer luck.

"Here they come. Miryoku, slow and steady. If we fire too quickly, and miss they know where we are." Anka says, putting her hand on her gunners shoulder.

"Hai!" Miryoku responds.

"Sarah, when Miryoku fires, I want you to rev the engine if they spot us. If they do spot us, charge them. Theres no point in running." Anka says.

"Gotcha!"

"460 Meters!" Miryoku cries.

"When you're ready open fire."

A loud bang rings through the forest, the trees swaying. A 76mm shell flies through the air, and before they know it, the first Matilda gets taken down. The white flag pops up.

"Great shot!" Anka compliments as she looks at the tanks through her binoculars. As the matildas begins to turn slowly, another shot from the Sherman rings out. The shell flies through the air, and bounces off the Matilda.

"Shit!" Miryoku curses, "It ricochet!"

"Sarah! Step on it!" Anka yells just as two shots ring out. The tank rocks, as one shell bounces off, and Anka hits the wall. "Ow…" Sarah hits the gas pedal and the tank lurches forward. Her loader throws in another shell, and closes the hatch.

"A gift for you!" MIryoku yells, and squeezes the trigger, and another tank meets its maker. The last Matilda turns the turret and fires, the shell hitting the treads, Anka's tank spinning out of control.

"We lost a tread! This is going to be a tough one!" Sarah yells from the bottom, trying to take control over the broken tank. "Brace!" She yells again as Ankas tank smashes into the Matilda.

Anka gets thrown across the tank, and right into her Radio Operators lap. "Hi!" She say enthusiastically and sarcastically., Miryoku begins to turn the turret, and aims it right on the engine.

"Gg's!" Miryoku yells and opens fire, and the tank's white flag pops up. Sarah hops out of their tank, and inspects the damage. Most of the wheels are gone, and the tread was torn. Screws were missing, and the tanks treads was beyond repair.

"Bad news Commander Anka, our tanks been taken out for good." Sarah reports.

Anka sighs, and takes out her radio from her radio operator. "Hey Kat, we're out, but we took all three tanks down with us."

"Thank you Anka, this win will be for you!" She responds. Kat puts down her radio, and mutters "Thank you Anka."
