Rain hammers the mud-soaked hilltop as you shoulder a Sturmgewehr '95, the weight of the Grand Duchy's war pressing down like a stone in your chest. Your trench, a ragged scar carved into an old artillery crater, stretches twelve hundred fifty meters beside seven comrades who whisper of home and phantom enemies. You check your gas mask, ten clips, two grenades. A flicker of memory — Novy Pilsen, a face waiting in the lamplight. The lieutenant's whistle cuts through the static of the rain. you, what's your first move?
