“Sir, there is no ‘back door’,” Corporal Darmen, a Mandalorian near to him equipped with a rocket-launcher, said confused.
“Then make one,” he said.
I think it's mandatory that every war movie have that line. Brought a huge smile to my face...
Ouch! Using their own dead as camo? Dirty scarheads. Worked, unfortunately. Nice action, Corran.

Guess you're right. But it worked as planned, anyway .
A hardcore Clone-fan will probably notice more about this line...

I hate those things. You practically have to crawl under them with a Class-A thermal detonator to make them stop. I remember this one time...

Considering how angry this is likely to make the survivors, I wouldn't be too eager to get near them.

““Yes, sir,” his squad replied.
“What do you do?”
“We show these hu’tuunla Scarheads that we are Mandalorians, sir!”
“Darn right, squad. Now let’s move,” he ordered.
Reminds me of the Chaplain blessing the Fightin' Irish before the game in Rudy. 
Priest: "Our Lady of Victory-"
Team (shouting at the top of their lungs): "Pray for us!!!"
Corran_Fett posted:

You never see the one that kills you....

“The Vong were throwing their amphistaffs, razor bugs and thud bugs at the Mandalorians who countered with grenades, missiles and blasts of blaster-fire and projectiles.
Love to see this on-screen.

““We hit on nearly no resistance and only lost five men. We cleared the base as fast as possible and then came here with one of the AIAT/is,” Kharritokh, the co-leader of the Lancer-platoon reported. Stone hadn’t noticed the small Noghri before and was surprised that the warrior had showed up without being detected.
And the Noghri show up in the preferred manner of his race. I wonder if they get a kick out of continually catching everyone off-guard?
Corran_Fett posted:
““Confirmed,” Barec said. “Next status-report in three hours. And good luck, Halberdier.”
Just one little note here: As far as I know, "over and out" was invented in the movies. In real-life it would simply be either "over" (over to you, your turn to speak), or "out" (I'm finished talking and will get off the comm-channel). Other than that, you're doing great.
Overall impression:
Yet another excellent chapter. I wish I could keep up the writing speed you're going at.

Thanks. I had a lil problem with Lancer-lead's (Atross) callsign, but I guess Halberdier works..

Maybe. But I rather think the Vong get kicked...

Thanks for the hint. Will edit this one out.

Vor entye, ner vod. I really appreciate that.
Concering the writing speed: You're right, an update all four days, yet my chapters are all pretty short (not more than 1500 words). Yours have sometimes 3000 or more words in one chapter, so that levels it....

Was just bored and made a photomanip on that Alfreda Goot pic.
Now this is Atross in his armor:
I know, I wrote that he has a orange and red armor, but I think this one looks better.
Tell me what you think.

Very nice, Dave.
I was kinda hoping they would fight the Vong-equivalent to the AT-AT head-on via their jetpacks, but that's just me.
And I really like that backdoor line, heh.

Good idea, but why wasting fuel and ammo when they already have the whole building set up for detonation? They just make the AT-AT-equivalent enter the hangar and then blow it up. Two birds with one strike...

Actually, it was you who brought me on that idea, so credit goes to Antilles.

Well, I only know the German word for it, what is "vibrorakete" and it's a rocket/missile that has a warhead that explodes in a very, very big *boom* - actually, I think those rockets are only fired by starships... the only missile above it is AFAIK the proton torpedo.
Anyone tell me if this crap is correct?
