DOGFACES Campaign SPOILER PAGE

• issue # 1:1: "BRIDGE TO WAR" , June 3, 2006.
  • RECAP: We open on a bleak Russian battlefield (strangely devoid of snow or chill) as our heroic Dogfaces spread their small force of GIs to cover control of a bridge that stands as one of the last gateways to Lenningrad. Prime Minister Churchhill and the boys have arranged for the Dogfaces to defend the bridge as Nazi Tiger Tanks crest the hills leading into the ravaged village beyond. Coming into sight the boys see a big fella in a steel spiked helmet, tearing a massive brickface from a burnt out building he heeves it nearly two football fields across the bridge at our boys! This man mountain must be "the HUN" according to intel. Following up "COMMANDANT TIGER" commands a triad of Tiger Tanks as German support troops rally toward the bridge. The Dogfaces stand their ground. Dr. Oblongata fortifies the men's position with a force shielf crafted from his mind as they ping rifle shots baiting the tanks into their land mine traps. Slinking into the river Subject Six tries to get the jump on the Hun and they meet on the riverbank in deadly fisticuffs! Meanwhile our boy Mal, the test subject with vampiric ability spies the illusion caster "MADAM VERSTANDER" and leaps across the raging river fangs bared for her. As the allies hold the axis, and Mal swoons the Madam - a blasting boom of "CUT..CUT...CUT!!" comes from "offstage"... The reveal shows this is NOT Russian and our boys aren't in battle with the enemy. This training exercise has been staged on Universal's lot in Hollywoodland! But no matter the necessity needless violence and the accidental deaths in this training excersize are things the Brit Dr. Oblongata will not bare witness to! As the General rounds up the troops to discuss the training excersize Oblongata refuses... Not for long though. The very next day the nation reels as we learn Pearl Harbor has been senselessly attacked by the Empire of Japan. Utilizing ANOMs for the first time in the World Wars, Japan struck a horrid blow. 18 hours later our boys are dropping on Hawaii to seek out the Jap Curveballs responsible. As they arrive in-port, it is the aquatic Subject Six that finds some interesting clues. Among the wreckage a massive stone samuria stands, hand on hilt ready to draw. But he is inert it seems, strange runic symbology criss-crossing his body. Quickly Six sees that it wasn't always motionless, this brute WALKED into the harbor! And the Arizona bares a sword-like gash down it's side!! Before the Dogfaces regroup, Six also finds there are an unusual clutch of sea creatures in the area - as large sharks and orca snap at him. It is unknown what goes on here. Why this sentry was left. Or if the Japs haven't left at all!! Next issue we will see the fruition of this mystery and delve into... the HELLSHIP!!
