white flag!
Seeing that all of Rainbow's units are moving into their new positions to finish this battle, general Sennef decides to make an effort to end this bloodshed here and now.
Seeing all those beautiful boys mangled, maimed and in pain for the rest of their natural lives makes him sick to the stomach. He feels it as his duty as a Christian to try stop this from continuing.
He has the white blanket attached to a pole and orders a general cease fire along the line.
When the fire has died down he let the trumpeteer continue with 'cease fire', then approach on horseback with a small staff under cover of the white flag towards the place where he saw the enemy general enter the forest with 23 and 25MA.
If the enemy general is willing to enter into negotiations, Sennef intends to show him the hopelessness of his position w/o artillery. Sennef is willing to stop further hostilities after this gallant fight and to accept the surrender of 23 and 25 MA. To make it more attractive Sennef will offer him and his officers to leave on parole and let them keep their side arms. The men of 23 and 25 will be disarmed and be escorted out of the war zone to the hinterland.
