Situation
Background InformationUnits in the strategic area around Masendorf have stopped transmitting. A motorised rifle platoon is expedited and despatched to investigate the cause and re-establish contact. HQ does not know the reason for interrupted radio communication. Establishing the cause will allow us to introduce preventive measures in the future. Its loss at three close, separated locations can indicate enemy sabotage. Therefore, great caution is advised.
