OSS Agent: Lieutenant Mike Powell
DOB: May 5, 1916.
POB: Rice Lake, WI
Education: West Point, Military History, Languages
Languages: English, French, German
Prior to his entry into military service, Lieutenant Mike Powell completed a degree in military history and languages at West Point. He served as a rifleman in the 34th Infantry Division, where he showed marksmanship and field craft second to none amongst the thousands of applicants to the 1st Ranger Battalion.
His performance at Carrickfergus and at the live fire training exercises at Achnacarry, Scotland was exemplary. The OSS thus internally (and unofficially) designated Powell as 'special infantry', an elite soldier with Ranger-level training, available for and subject to flexible and short-term reassignment for specific missions requiring covert deception and/or sabotage in preparation for major offensives.
---------------------------------------------
That is from the Official Site. Mike Powell is essentially Special Forces, because that above is what Spec Ops do. Dont get all sooky because you cant fight the War with a platoon of guys. Easytrick, this isnt a squad based tactical game, it never has been, I dunno why you thought this game was like that. Fighting with platoons or squads will happen in the game, theres no doubt about that, how many times it happens ? Who knows, all I know is that the only time you fight with a squad is when you meet up with one in a town and tag along with them, thats all been said before in preview after preview. Some Close Quaters Battle would be very cool, I'd like to see that.

Blessed be the Lord my strength, which teacheth my hands to War and my fingers to fight.
