THE CHARGE OF THE
BIKE BRIGADE
THE CYCLES GIVE GOOD COVER
Like the horses of cavalry, these steel mounts are called upon to shelter their riders when exigency re­
quires. From behind the makeshift ramparts a squad of these soldiers can pour a galling fire.
AND THEN IN LESS THAN TEN SECONDS-
They jump up, mount the motorcycles, and whirl away toward the enemy in a fifty-mile-an-hour charge.
Because the ninety cycle units in this division are so mobile, they are able to accomplish a great deal of
destruction with little loss to themselves.
