Sgt. August Showalter felt blessed--the gang was off to a fantastic start. Two Union wagons sat still just ahead, one of them off to the left side of the road and the other right in the middle. As Showalter and his mixed band of merry Rebs and Yanks snuck a little closer they realized that the wagon in the middle of the road had a broken wheel. Most of the men in the convoy were occupied in some way, either trying to move the wagon, relieving themselves, playing cards to pass time, or drinking from canteens/cups. Only a couple of the escorting soldiers stood watch--one of them sipping from a flask. Evidently he was very done with the war and didn't worry about being caught one way or the other. Trees and thickets along the right side road allowed the gang to move up very close.
"Alright. I count about a dozen of them, but the two wagon drivers aren't armed so that's ten. Take out the two on watch first, that's eight. If we storm them quick, then they'll either go down quick or surrender quick. Rifles, take out those two first," August pointed to the two guys on watch, "ready? Anything else?"

Welcome to the main thread for the RP! I wanted to start us off with some action, or impending action! Post length isn't terribly important, it's more up to your discretion, preference, and the circumstances. I don't want you to stress about having to write multiple paragraphs, or feel like you need to put in filler. If you naturally write more though that is fine! Otherwise just be a reasonable, courteous, respectful RPer (which I'm sure you are anyways).
