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.
Nations: Axis: Italian Germany Japan
Allied: America Britain Russia France China
Tank Types: Light (Small, quick, good at scouting and taking out lightly armed foes) Medium (Somewhere between heavy and light, some more related to one side than the other) Heavy (big, lumbering, tough, but slow and slow turning and turret speeds) Tank Destroyer (The "snipers" of the tank world, mostly have no turret, and have thing side and back armor)
while these are rather broad terms, they are easier to adhere to, and don't expect every tank of every type to adhere strictly to these generalizations.
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.
Sheet:
Name: please something of your nationality Age: Nationality: Faction: Basically the nation you fight for 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.
Alright, the person who pre signed up, bring your sheet over here and i'll fill it out, kinda wish i got more people to show preemptive interest

I order 4 T1's and the 2 M2's to stay behind cover and open fire upon the nearest enemy tanks while I lead the remaining tanks back to camp to rescue any survivors sticking to the shadows and staying behind cover when needed.

shadows definitely don't help, but the tanks firing on the itialians definitely grab their attention more then you, you roll around to the front of the camp, seeing most italian tanks behind large rocks, their backs facing towards you

I order the tanks to spread out and hide behind as much cover as they can then open fire at the Italians in unison when ready while I scout around to ensure no tanks are sneaking up on us.

you move around as the others gather in cover where they can, you hear a unison of shots and move around, to see what seems to be a second wave of italians coming, a lot of them, many more then your small force can take on.
As you assess the situation, you hear the crunch of metal as a shell passes through your tank, shaking it, and leaving you and the driver dazed. you look out one of the ports to see a fiat 3000 pulling behind a large boulder, the cannon smoking

I fire upon the fiat 3000, inform them of the second wave of Italians and order my men to regroup, retreat and stay safe.

...(dice rolling)
You fire on the Fiat as it pulls out to take another shot, it goes through the point between the turret and the body, nearly shearing it off, leaving it heavily leaned against the body, the commander no doubt, dead.
You hear over the radio, a nearby M2 light, "I saw your tank take a hit, are you alright in there?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. By the way, Italians are coming and their too many of them for us to handle. We better regroup and retreat."

"More of the god **** eye-ties?!" you hear more radio chatter and most of the tanks are pulling back, leaving the flaming or disabled tanks behind. You retreat about 5 miles out, finding little more then rough semi-desert terrain

I order them to set up camp and repair their tanks. I also order the two unharmed T1's to go on guard duty while I check on the M2 with a dead driver.
What happens if the driver of a tank dies and what is the crew of a M2.

generally, if there is enough crew-members they wil lbe replaced, with anotherr one but with reduced maneuverability and acceleration, if not then the tank is considered disabled, this M2's driver has been replaced by the Co-Driver

you assist in righting and temporarily fixing the turret, while that is happening, you see the M2 has a map in it, he spreads it out atop the turret, after oyu're done with the T1, you look at it, there is your camp, about 50 kilometers directly west is a larger camp, 25 kilometers north is another small camp like yours, along the battle lines, your guess is, that is where the second group of italian tanks came, a large push all along the front

We head to the camp to the north while trying to avoid any hostile tanks, taking detours if necessary.
