The roar of 100 motorcycle engines fills the air as the Detroit Lions come racing along the freeway into Colorado City. ‘Y’better take this, Cal,’ says Kate, handing you a Rifle that she found while you were away. ‘I think you’ll be needin’ it real soon.’ You draw back the bolt and work a cartridge into the breech, noting that there are only two 7.62mm rounds remaining in the magazine (remember to record all three of these 7.62mm rounds—one in the breech and two in the magazine—in the Ammo Pouch section of your Action Chart).

‘You gotta hold ’em off until we’ve got this baby across,’ shouts Cutter, as he waves frantic signals to Uncle Jonas, who is having to fight to keep the tanker in a straight line. The sight of the makeshift platform sagging under the weight of the heavy vehicle makes your stomach churn.

‘You can count on it!’ you shout in reply; then you turn and follow Kate as she runs back towards the town.

As you reach the end of the bridge you notice two ideal defensive positions. One is a three-storey factory that overlooks the freeway; the other is an auto wreck overturned on the approach ramp to the bridge.

If you wish to hide behind the auto wreck, turn to 332.

If you decide to take cover inside the factory, turn to 243.
