Prussian Soup Run
In 1917 three German soldiers of the Kaiser army were tasked with bringing hot soup to a forward outpost across the no man’s land. In order to avoid getting shot at, they set out after sunset from the main trench line and head through the mud and the barbed wire covering the moon like landscape toward the forward position with nothing but their rifles and a bucket of hot soup when they get lost in the fog and heavy rain.
Looking for a shelter, they stumble upon an ancient crypt unearthed by the heavy shelling. They pry the door open, enter and suddenly are caught in a weird maelstrom of bright dizzying lights and shrieking sounds. Everything starts spinning uncontrollably and writhing in pain, they finally collapse only to wake up in a strange place in a different time. Shell shocked.

Rules :
– Give your pawns German names. You can use this wikipedia link for inspiration :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:German_military_personnel_of_World_War_I
– Ideally, at least one of them, the commandant, should have the annoying voice/abrasive trait to bark orders in Prussian and one pawn should have some sort of cooking skills.
– Even better if some of them have old gunshot wounds.
– They should be all males but I suppose you can use a female pawn for the cook carrying the soup.
