Let me guide you through a relaxing emergency retreat and fulfilling battle with Warsaw Pact marauders.

Special thanks to listener Nick from the U.K., who provided the poetic bit about cold Polish nights and tracer fire.

Here is your virtual squad, to accompany you on your journey of relaxation:

• Jeff Swanson, the American heavy-weapons guy
• Nicholas Philman, the British sniper
• Elsa Saavedra de Alicante, Spanish soldier from the UN contingent
• Lycan Devries, the Dutch driver, formerly tank operator
• Ekuwa Asanti, the engineer, mechanic, and pistol expert, from the African Union contingent.
