WWII Battle Plan Sample The End of ‘Welgie Day’ Forever!!!

Sample: Mass Your Troops We will organize our forces into 3 groups code named…  Alpha  Bravo  Charlie  Each Group will consist of 7-10 people

Sample: Objective  Goal is to Destroy Mr. Welgoss’s podium while capturing his prized collection of ‘Presidential Trading Cards’ valued at a total of 62 cents.  Yes he’s pretty cheap!

Sample: Offensive Since I have never seen Mr. Welgoss leave his room in 13 years we unfortunately will have to go on the Offensive in order to achieve our objectives.  Usually this would be a huge risk but since Mr. Welgoss is as violent as Gandhi I think we’re okay.

Sample: Maneuver Alpha Unit  will form up at the door and…  Knock..  Hard!! Beta Unit  already having Neutralized Conrad’s Room will prepare charges to blow through Welgie’s Wall Charlie Unit  massed on the 4 th floor will prepare to repel through his windows

Sample: Simplicity  We need to K.I.S.S. It or…..  It’s so simple that even Conrad & Knight the Varsity Rugby and Hockey Coaches could even understand it

Sample: Surprise  When we knock on his door, blow a hole in his wall, and repel from the 4 th floor …  Welgie will be Surprised!!
