Ack! I knew something like that would come up. I have to admit I'm no big
freak for actual historical WWII dates and such, so I knew this would come up.
Uh, yeah, it's a commando raid. That's it! :D

Heh. That was probably my favorite occurance in the game. That guy with the
pistol had been shooting at the gunner for a couple of turns, and I was getting
worried he might actually hit/kill him. The pintel-mounted machine gun
couldn't be turned fast enough, we decided- and then I noticed the axe Shaun
had placed on the Willys MB (that's a Jeep, to anyone but Shaun) for a bit of
detail. I snagged it, barely made it to the pistol wielding Jerry, and the
rest is photo-documented history!
One thing I wish we had done is gotten more of Shaun's accomplishments in
there. The battle looks a lot more one-sided than it really was, based on the
webpage. Ah, well.

I know that for my part, I knicked that from somewhere- I just don't remember
exactly where. I think it may well have been a tutorial on making fire
counters for Evil Stevie's Pirate Game, but I'm not 100% sure.
