The main story, "A Hatred Dies!", follows two survivors of a bloody battle on Hill 133 who must confront each other when an infantry company marches into town. Captain Harrigan discovers that the vicious soldier Hank Kramer is using his position as an excuse to continue killing, prompting Harrigan to risk his men's lives to stop Kramer before he causes more bloodshed. The soldiers endure intense combat involving flamethrowers and machine gun fire as they pursue the enemy, with Harrigan determined to prevent Kramer from furthering his murderous rampage even at great cost to the unit.

The War Criminal!
8 pp · War
Cpl. Hank KramerCaptain Lemm

Cpl. Hank Kramer's battlefield instincts clash with Captain Lemm's inexperience when the corporal's ruthless tactics—gunning down a surrendering enemy—draw the captain's fury and accusations of war crimes. As the squad sweeps through a French village searching for hidden German weapons, Kramer spots an anti-tank gun the captain missed, and must decide whether to follow orders or trust his combat judgment to protect the tank crew and incoming infantry company.

Long Night!
6 pp · War

Lieutenant Ben Lundgren and his platoon dig in for a brutal night on a Korean ridge in January 1951, knowing the Chinese Communist Forces will launch wave after wave of attacks under cover of darkness. With ammunition running short and temperatures plummeting, the outnumbered GIs must hold their foxholes against overwhelming odds, calling in artillery support and preparing for close combat. As the long night wears on, Lundgren rallies his men through successive assaults, adapting their tactics to survive until dawn.

The High Eye!
3 pp · War

An Army pilot flying low over Vietnam in 1966 becomes the eyes in the sky, spotting Viet Cong movements and calling in air support to engage the enemy. When a lone fighter escapes the initial strike, the pilot must decide whether to pursue or hand off the responsibility to higher command. "The High Eye!" captures the tense coordination between ground forces and airborne reconnaissance in the heat of jungle warfare.

A Hatred Dies!
8 pp · War

Lieutenant Gabe Tully and his battle-hardened 3rd Platoon are ordered to assault Hill 133 and silence the Japanese mortars dug in at the summit—a mission command considers expendable, but one Tully is determined to see through. Facing Captain Ayosho's determined defenders, who are driven by a personal hatred born from losses across the Pacific campaign, Tully must find a way to break through heavy fire and entrenched positions. A brutal night engagement unfolds as both leaders push their men toward a confrontation neither may survive.
