TAR16 - EP5: "I Think We're Fighting the Germans, Right?" (France)
Glamazon Racer:
I'm quite unsure, but I don't think that is a Roadblock clue. It's possible, but I don't think so. Anyone else can clarify? :duno:

Do we have this location matched in GE??
And can we find this spot?? That little hill and white tower seem searchable, :lol:

The battlefield may not be too far from an airport (for the triplane).

Wire Crawl vs Wire Comms? Barbed Wire vs Telegraph Wire?
Does it look like an overnighter to Verdun, and a staggered start at the chateau?

"DETOUR. Two important tasks were related to trench warfare during World War One in France. (1) UNDER WIRE and (2) OVER WIRE In Under Wire teams must crawl one hundred meters on their bellies under a canopy of barbed wire during an artillary barrage and air bombardment. When they have reached their destination, the officer will give them their next clue. A physically challenging task, but if they do not get caught on the pointed barbs, they will complete the task in a short time. In Over Wire teams must travel across the battle field stringing a line of communication wire from the command post to the observation post, and then using morse code to transmit a message back to the CP. If the message is transmitted correctly, and the team member can deceiver the coded message, the officer in charge will give them their next clue."

i love that G-Man...did you create that or find it somewhere?
And then they could send their Morse code message!
I get the idea that the crawling also involves avoiding being "hit" by the enemy...paint ball??

I wonder if getting hit by a paint ball means you start the crawl over?!
Great Detour prose gman! :jumpy:
