"Within ten miles of a certain village - call it village "A" - you've just received the following information.
"An infantry unit reports hearing steady engine noises beyond the enemy's lines.
"Scouts see indications of increased enemy patrolling activity in front of them, and that they saw a glint - possibly binoculars - from the steeple of village "A"'s church.
"And one hour ago, Air Force radar reconnaisance aircraft detected a line of vehicles turning off the road about ten kilometers the other side of the enemy's lines, and moving into positions PARALLEL to your own.

"Lock, Load, and Duck. It's going to be a rough night."
