Let's just gloss over that friendly fire incident shall we...
At least it was "friendly" fire and not "angry" fire
I think it went something like:
British Artillery Observer radio: "Bravo Brit calling Yankee Big Boy, over."
"Yee-essar Bravo this is Big Boy, yuse ready for my big package, over"
"Ummm... Bravo Brit to Yankee Big Boy - roger that - I think what! - Righty-o, gerry target is [Note there is radio interference here caused by Gerry chanting 'roll a one'] (***bzzzzz... 31" NW of ...bzzzz***) my last stated [Note actually still current] position, confirm over."
"Roger Bravo Boy, confirming that, delivering Yankee Big Boy promise now, good luck, out."
Carnage... A loud cheer went up from the gerry ranks as the yank artillery destroyed one unit and severly pinned two others of its own first wave attack force.
