Geocache Description:

The boys are back in town following a hard earned rest after the 1st Mission. For their 2nd Mission the boys find themselves deep behind enemy lines sourcing intel for Private Kelly who has commandeered some top secret plans that detail the whereabouts of gold bullion that is being guarded by 3 Tigers.


In their humble M4 Sherman, although grossly modified by Moriarty, the boys need to head off in pursuit of an abandoned SS Tiger. The boys are ready for adventure and in case of any conflict they are prepared with M62 APCBC shells filled with multi couloured paint, which paint pretty pictures when it hits the enemy target. M72 APS shells are onboard in case of any close conflict. The mandatory Garrard Model 301linked through the legendary LEAK Type 15 Point One amplifier with upgraded KT66 vacumm tubes all piped through a PA speaker stolen from the Giants Stadium in 1942, provides the musical entertainment for when they go into battle. The boys love their music loud when they go into battle. Very loud music......"it kinda calms them down".

The intel the boys need will be found when they reach the abandoned Tiger. These beasties were huge and way too big and heavy to cross bridges and far too wide to fit down the narrow streets. Their big old 690hp Maybach V12 engines gave them the speed they needed to flee from any approaching Shermans.

Pretty formidable machines for their day, not a lot could outpace them or get in their way. However, it was the weak rear end that was their downfall and an easy target for the likes of Oddball and his crew. The boys would have fun coming up behind a Tiger that was too long and fat to manouvre through the village streets and would fire a paint filled M62 shell at its weak point. Just to add insult to injury!

All that the boys have to go by to find their intel is the abandoned Tiger and a cryptic message recovered by Private Kelly. The message reads as follows
