After steaming south for a few hours, Ragnar and his "Corporate Defense Force" arrived at the terminus of the Sandwich line.
Due to the unfinished nature of the coastal extension, the tracks ended abruptly about two hundred yards from the shoreline, sitting atop a reinforced embankment of gravel and railway ties.
As the "Screaming Kettle" hissed to a halt, letting off a plume of white steam that mixed with the salty sea air, Ragnar ordered his troops to set up their defensive perimeter.
The "Iron Gear" heavy infantry deployed portable barricades.. pre-fabricated wooden walls reinforced with steel bands along the ridge of the embankment.
Hiding behind the blackened steel of the locomotive and the flatbed cars, Ragnar's troops lay in wait, ready to audit Grandmaster Roland's assets.
They had received information from the optical semaphore that the Frankish fleet would be walking into the "Kill Zone" within a matter of minutes.
