A zombie manages to get on the roof and clings there. Suddendly the hatch opens, and an American crewmember gets out to blast the undead with his tommy gun.
The party reveals to the (probably) friendly group, and so, taken care of the undead, they meet and greet. There are only two crewmember, escaped by the terrible slaughter that hit the retreating american army. the survived a week and captured this German tank, and are now trying to reach the American forces. The party tells them France has also suffered contagion, and now it is safer to be here then near Paris. They join the arty in their search for the American spies.
The blue car in which the GI's fled lies abandoned on the roadside. They must be near!
the party steps into the wood, and find a half-burn cabin, surrounded by partisan forces. In there the Americans are somehow kept under siege.
One of the irregulars comes to tell the party that they intercepted this american patrol in the wood, and are keeping them under surveillance. The partisan group met in Veghel managed to tell this partisan section to keep an eye on any American trying to reach Belgium. This is what they did, and they were waiting for orders before storming the cabin.
Sophie goes to talk with the spies and find a way to get back what the American stole from the party: the books of Volkehauer, the vial containing the virus... many things that will prove useful to contrast the plague in the future.
The Americans ask for Lotte, and propose to share the loot and ask for the assurance that they will be able to get away safely. So, Lotte is sent in with the sdkfz, the bargain is made under the constant aim of both Tony's sniper rifle and the American one.
But when the exchange is nearly done, Vanni steps out of the halftrack, assaulting the surprised GI. In the confusion the American marksman, trying to shoot Vanni, kills Lotte with a badly placed bullet!
Killed the first spie, Vanni and Je Jack jump in to take care of the marksman and secure the loot.
The guy is captured alive. The party reach the cabin, and the loot is put back into safety. Lotte is dead.
Before the party can interrogate the GI, a strange noise is heard across the wood. An american platoon is coming over to rescue the spies... that's what they were waiting for here! A strange armoured giant walks with them... what the hell is that?
Across the fiel the hetzer tries to take aim of the walking machine...
A powerful anti-tank round hits the MaK leg, tearing it apart.
The Americans make a push, Doc. Elias lies on the ground, and only the Mob lies between the advancing soldiers and the precious Loot in the Shack!
Eventually the US soldiers are routed, but Elias lies dead on the ground. Another heavy loss for the freedom fighters...
