"right lads,listen up.Our company is pushing through to take these 3 hills.Hill Alpha 7,Gamma 1-4 and Oscar 2-8.As soon as these hills have been secured,we can get basilisks from the 47th Kalashnikov to cover our advance.There is a town on each hill,so checks your clips,and stay sharp.And for those of you who weren't listening,Shoot anything that isn't us.Ready up."
