Subject: To which nation do you belong?



Your platoon is surrounded and outnumbered by the enemy. You've 
suffered many men killed and many wounded. You have very few men left 
and your position is desparate. The enemy commander offers you a 
chance to reply. Your reply is to this offer:

1. "Nuts." Hold tight and wait for your relief till Hell freezes 
over, because you know relief _is_ coming. 
2. "Ve Do Not Zurrendur. Not Ze Prussian Vay." Hold tight and fight 
calmly and effectively until overrun, then separate and try to make 
your way back to your own lines. 
3. "Camerone!" then execute a close assault with all remaining 
members of the platoon and win or die. 
4. "Oi, Mate. You wanna give up? Stupid B*st*rds." Be shocked when 
the outnumbering enemy is not in fact surrendering, then get annoyed 
and give them a good thumping.
5. Smile. Sharpen your curved knives. Wait till dark, crawl out, and 
collect some ears. 
6. Shoot the emissary, then shoot a few of your most shaky looking 
men to "inspire" the others. You'd like to surrender, but you know 
the Area Commander and his Commisars would probably do worse than 
just kill you. 
7. "Y'all mosey back to yer lines. And if we see yer sorry *ss around 
these parts agin, we'll git real annoyed." Load your Winchester and 
check the chambers on your shootin' irons. And tell the boys 'n' gals 
to "Remember Dan'l Boone and the Alamo."
8. Praise the supreme being, order your troops to mount a suicidal 
attack (shooting a few as examples of what might happen to those who 
disobey), then look for a convenient moment during the charge to duck 
out and head for home to procure more troops.
9. Thank the emissary for his generous offer. Respectfully decline 
strictly as a matter of honour. Feed the emissary some nice tea and 
send him home. Put on your rising-sun headband and meditate with your 
men. When the spirit has been purified, Banzai!
10. Being incredibly pragmatic, arrange for safe passage of your 
troops and arms from this untenable position. Ensure proper 
gaurantees are in place and then surrender conditionally.
11. Take the emissary prisoner. Interrogate him for information. Then 
launch a counter attack 
with a quick prayer to Yaweh. Do not allow yourself to be captured, 
as the enemy usually does 
some very wrong things to prisoners. 
12. Surrender, because you don't have any support coming to rescue 
you. Rely on your lovely blue headgear to protect you, since nothing 
else will. 
13. Invoke the spirit of Shaka, grab your assegai, and lead the men 
on a cunning two pronged attack on the enemy position.
