Synopsis:
A new replacement joins Easy Company who claims that war is like chess and that infantry are pawns. The "New Boy" bets Rock that the sergeant will see his point by the end of the day. Rock then leads Easy Company against several enemy targets. New Boy continues to make his claim, but in the end Rock proves that infantry men are more than pawns. Infantry can lift themselves up to fight again.
