without acting.

The year is 1916. You have been fighting in “The Great War” for 2 years. You have been lucky enough to still see another day.

Your best friends have all been killed, along with, a younger brother, and a cousin. You still love your country and refuse to give up.

You have been assigned to build a new trench and open up the Battle of Greeley River. Good luck, and I hope you live to fight again tomorrow.

You have 2 minutes to build the best trench you can to defend your self against your enemy. You will be provided with weapons once the two minutes are up.

If you get hit by a “bullet” you go to the graveyard. Listen to your commander, (ME) or you will die. The country with the most troops alive at the end wins the Battle

of Greeley River and will go down in History as the bravest unit ever.
