The year is 1947, the second world war has raged on for a very long time, battles won on both sides have extended it, the losses were great. To the point were the war petered out, and was rented out to mercenaries in tanks by 1945, although research on tanks and their weaponry has made giant leaps, the poorest mercenaries still fight in old inter-war tanks in small skirmishes, far from the huge modern tanks, on smaller fronts for small objectives.
This game is in a what-if scenario, where WWII has turned into a slow tank v. tank war, rented out to mercenaries for money. You play one such merc, who is fairly poor and have bought a small tank from the 30's, doing small contracts to make money.

Name: please something of your nationality Age: Nationality: please don't be a nationality fighting for a Description: what you look like, purely optional but preferred, just remember, big guys can't fit into tanks Bio: 5 sentences at least, optional Perk: from bio, i make --------- Cash:200 Tank: i put Crew: i put Modules: anything extra added on Equipment: basically anything inside the tank to help it (i.e. first aid kits, extinguishers, etc.) --------- Gun: what gun is on the tank, i put Engine: what engine is on the tank Armor: in MM, the higher it is, the better chance of a bounce, or non penetrating shot Hull: your "HP" i put Condition: Fine
Now you will start with what is essentially a mid war tin can, and you pay to either upgrade it, or the tank itself. You take various missions and jobs for money, you will start doing small jobs, but can get up to larger ones, even spearheading major offensives.

none that you can see it the scrub, it's too thick and too far, about 300 meters
another tank, an MS-1 is hit, this time from the hill on the right, this time you see it much clearer, a flash from a large shrub.

you point it, and fire, it hits the tank and you hear the accompanying crunch of metal, but it fires back and penetrates the front, the driver yells out "The controls aren't responding!" as the tank suddenly lurches forward

I shoot at from where the flash came from, but keep an eye the left hill, just in case there's more than one tank (which is probably the case)

you fire and miss, but receive no return fire, also repairing it is out of the question right now, too much to do with too little tools. you'll need help

you make a quick jog to the post board
"Big push towards moscow. Expect heavy resistance, need light tanks to fill in gaps"
"Medium tanks required for defense of southern borders"
