Foy
Scott Riley, Moody and D'angelo crouch and listen to Foley's briefing of the mission in a snowy forest.

Foley: Gentlemen, our objectives are to secure the town of Foy and clear the way for the 11th armoured division. If we're late, the tanks will be sitting ducks for enemy artillery, so move quickly. On my signal, advance across the field and assault the village. Be advised that once we leave the tree line, there isn't much cover. Questions?

All: No, sir!

Foley: All right! We've lost a lot of men here, Make 'em pay, boys!

Foley blows on a whistle and the soldiers move out.

Moody: Stick with me and use the haystacks for cover!
