SONG LYRICS (lyrics by Dennis Donovan)
My friend, make sure to bring           
Scenarios, that have some bling       
FTs and barb-ed wire
Just like the one called Ring of Fire

I want to play K.E.’s Ring of Fire!
I said, ‘wow!’, ‘Wow!’, ‘WOW!’, and my voice got higher
It’s 6 turns, turns, turns, down to the wire
The Ring of Fire

I talked him into playing Ring of Fire
I’ll throw down, down, down, when the stakes get higher
And he’ll learn, learn, learn, baptism of fire
Trial by fire.

T. O. T. 4-0 is sweet
S.S. and Brits do meet
Old French tanks with F.Ts?  Wild!
Oh, and ECs are mild
 
I thought I could fight fire with fire
In the town, town, town and break the quagmire
And got burned, burned, burned, but his first fire
& Subsequent Fire                              
 
I attacked as the Brits into the ring of fire
Morale went down, down, down when things got dire
And I yearned, yearned, yearned, artillery fire
In this funeral pyre
And got burned, burned, burned in Ring of Fire
In Ring of Fire
In Ring of Fire

SONG LYRICS (lyrics by Troy Nordine)
Picture your squad in a raft, crossing a river,
Attacking German SS with powder blue eyes,
Somebody calls you, your Sargent is screaming,
“It's our movement phase, so get going guys”

The Germans in bunkers are firing at you,
Bullets go flying right over you're head,
Look for the chance to fire your rifle,
And they're gone...

OBA from the sky obliterates them....

Your movement phase begins, you run to the buildings,
While German Defensive First Fire flies over your head.
Your opponent smiles, as his mortar shot hits you
But your morale is so incredibly high.....

More of your squads, appear on the shoreline,
Assault moving toward the VP.
The Germans are climbing to the top of a nearby building,
Then they're gone.......

OBA from the sky obliterates them.......

Picture a wall with an AFV hull down,
It's gun barrel pointed directly at you,
Suddenly your saved as your opponent rolls boxcars,
He's Malf'ed is MA and recalled his tank...then.

OBA from the sky obliterates them.....
