[5] You ignore the jostling of the tank and make a flying leap towards the last armored car. [1] You miss entirely, slam into the metal cattle car and bounce off behind the tank. [4v3] You sit up and shake your head, dazed but uninjured.
Good sir, do not be alarmed, but I do spot here... A discrepancy!
For you see,
You climb up a tree and ready yourself for making a bad decision.
I was never on that tank to begin with! So its ruinous rumbling and rolling could not have possibly gobbled up that most precious of 5s, you see.

Yeah, my mistake. Luckily you didn't fall off the tank you weren't on so we can just transfer that terrible jump over and assume it was from the tree instead.
Though now you have a chance of being run over by the tank....
Jump onto the train.

[5] You make a flying leap onto the train and land perfectly on the landing, Denver helping to steady you and pull you in.
"Fffuu... oww, damn it... I can't believe that didn't work..."
Take a knee and start shooting at the train's cannon's periscopes. Empty the mag. Then reload and empty the next, if there's any chance of hitting.
Also, try and remember whether this was the only train, and if we still need to capture the switching station. If yes, after the train leaves Simon's line of sight, he'll start jogging back towards said station.

GLORY: 230!Mission achievements:
- Supplied the tank which destroyed both enemy tanks, killed many infantry, and provided a, uh, "method" of "boarding" the train.
- Managed to not only stay on top of the tank while it fired a cannon shell point blank into the ground underneath him, but also managed to snipe a Nazi machine gunner, through a firing slit, while standing atop the slaloming and exploding tank. Then he screwed up his jump to the train and ate dirt....
- Came up with the GENIUS plan to
get all his allies killed so that he could hoard all the GLORY jump from a moving tank onto a moving train in order to hijack said train.
This is the only train and its a very long one. Gonna be going past you for a while now.
[6-3] You spit some blood and rise up onto one knee, shouldering your rifle and looking through the sight with the eye that isn't already swelling shut. You sight in on the periscope or whatever it is that they're using to aim the main cannon and put a round straight through it, despite the range, the movement, and the fact that you're pretty sure your arm is broken.
"Ha!" You shout at the train and then fall over into the grass.
Get close to the train. Communicate to the germans that Cthulhu demands their submission.

The train dares to run from me!? I shall sprint towards the place where the train coupled and look for an train engine to steal. Only then will I be able to give chase and joust like a real knight.

You try to run after the train, trip, and fall face first onto the ground.
Keep in cover until the MG cars pass. Then rush the cattle cars when I see an opening to board the train. Knife time.
[6] You keep your footing as the tank jerks about and then try to make the leap to the Armored car. [4] You make the jump and land on a small landing on the back of the last armored car. There's a door into the armored car directly next to you, but you stay where you are, to help other people on.
Hopefully get helped by this guy before his character acts! Get on that train!

You make a wild flailing jump for the train and almost miss it entirely but Denver and Gwen grab your arms and haul you up onto the landing.
"Try to shoot it AT the train this time."
Load another AP shell. Get on one of the machine guns and try to spray down one of the turrets, not any of the ones close to our bois on top tho, don't want a ricochet off the armor to hit them if I can avoid it.
Name:Tobeis ‘Toby’ Parrish, 20
Physical and Mental Description: Black hair, tinted purple. Exceptionally blue eyes, white skin, and numerous scratches. Wears glasses (which have as yet managed to survive without breaking) although he can see fairly well within about 50 meters. Pragmatic in combat, doesn't believe in fighting honorably, and very rarely ever stops moving, except to make a shot or pretend to listen to a superior officer. Has an amazing lack of respect for officers over the rank of 1st Lt. (unless they're serving on the front with him.) Prefers to use his bayonet instead of his pistol for close range, because the bayonet doesn't jam. Would rather hide in the mud than take his chances running for a better hiding place. Assigned to the 888th for assaulting a superior officer ("No, he inadvertently ran into my buttstock just before he could suggest a glorious charge towards a fortified position, clumsy sod"), shooting 3 prisoners whilst on a mission behind enemy lines ("What was I supposed to do, it was a behind-enemy-lines mission, and besides, those SS bastards had it coming to them") and failing to maintain a clean and orderly appearance during an award ceremony ("I guess 3rd strike’s out, whoops, can't be any worse than having to serve under this idiot guess you'll have to transfer me to a different regiment.") Spends most of his time digging, building, or otherwise creating defensive positions to hide in when things inevitably go to shit. Is the type of guy who would tape 6 short-fused frag grenades to the inside of a blast door on the off chance that the enemy manages to open it.

Tobeis sprays machinegun fire into the front most engine and its turrets. Their armor seems to absorb most of the round but a few make it through firing slits and other weak points and cause mayhem within. The Machinegun turrets stop moving for the moment. Meanwhile Mark takes another shot with his cannon, but the round screams out over the top of the train and misses by inches. He stares at the train with annoyance and then shrugs. At least it didn't go as bad as last time.
Try to shoot anyone who pops out to shoot at the creepy “Chaplin”.
Name: Carolina Oliveira
Description:
An average sized woman with an athletic build.
She comes from Brazil, where she was secretly trained as a spy. Despite her training, she took up more combat skills than she did stealth and espionage. She was deployed with the Brazilian Navy in the Atlantic for some time before being sent on reconnaissance in Italy, from there she somehow ended up here.
She wears a grey knitted wool cap. It has ear flaps that dangle down several inches, in the style of many South American knitted hats. It is formed to look like it has cat ears, and it has two larger buttons fastened to look like the eyes. When she has her combat helmet on, the cap is worn underneath as a helmet liner.
