Frontline Combat #6

In "A Platoon!", a young soldier grapples with the weight of leadership during the Korean War, as his friend Ed refuses a sergeant’s rating—not for glory, but because he knows the cost of the rank in a war where most sergeants don’t survive. The story captures the quiet tension and camaraderie of a unit under pressure, where every decision carries more than just duty.

In "War of 1812!", a young Delaware warrior named Ki-wi-ex-kim grapples with the shifting loyalty between his people and the white settlers who once promised brotherhood. As the conflict escalates under the leadership of the legendary Tecumsah, Ki-wi-ex-kim must confront the cost of resistance when his leader falls in battle.

In the skies over the Western Front, Lt. Chesterfield—cocky and confident after downing three enemy planes—declares his intent to hunt a Rumpler, knowing that one more victory will make him an ace. As he pushes deeper into enemy territory, chasing his fifth and sixth kills, the air grows eerily quiet, and the hunt takes a dangerous turn. "Ace!" captures the thrill and peril of aerial combat, where every victory brings a new risk—and every moment could be your last.

In "Bellyrobber!", a gruff Army cook known as Bellyrobber Boon finds a young Korean orphan in his tent, and slowly begins to soften around the boy he names Shnooker. Their quiet bond is shattered when North Korean soldiers infiltrate the mess tent, killing Boon’s fellow cooks and Shnooker—sparking a violent reckoning that leaves Boon colder and harder than before.
