Design Notes: This is a recreation of the battle in the first episode of "Over There," showing on the FX Channel. The human player should take the UK side in a one player scenario.**

It is a great show and I strongly recommend that you watch on Wednesday night, at 10PM EST on the FX Channel.**

Your Orders:**

Sergeant, you are to hold your ground against any Iraqi advances on your position. Be aware that the orders may come down for you to advance and take the Mosque.**

If fired upon, you are to return fire. Keep us posted of your situation.**

Background:**

Six "virgin" GIs have deployed to Iraq. It is their first week inside the hostile nation. Thier convoy is ambushed from a nearby town. They are forced to take defensive positions. The enemy in the town nearby fires upon them constantly.**

After a few days of negotiations with the rebels, this squad, under Sergeant "Scream" is ordered to advance within a short distance from the mosque. The US is talking with the rebels trying to get them to surrender. An "Al Jeezera" journalist and cameraman are with the rebels recording all that is taking place.**

The sergeant, resentful that his orders home have been cancelled, still shepherds these new soldiers and keeps them calm during the night tension.**

One of the females, "Mrs B," has gone to find a place to relieve herself when she is cut off, away from the group.**

Suddenly in the night the Iraqis in larger numbers attempt to assault the American position. They are driven back. PFC "Bo" and Pvt "Dim" take it upon their own to find and rescue "Mrs B."**

Orders come down to advance behind a US artillery barrage. Sgt. Scream orders his squad forward and they advance to the mosque, winning the battle.**

To win this one, you must do the following:**

1. Keep your men alive. Losing them will hurt you.*
2. Find ans save Mrs B. She will appear on turn 2.*
3. Advance before the scenario ends and take all objectives.**

Doing these things should give you a decisive victory. Remember! The battle as you play it may not go as the TV presentation but that is war. You are to win this fight. You are Sgt Scream and you are to protect your men and get the job done.!**

Taken from the Pilot Episode of "Over There" on the FX Network.
