Hello, and welcome to strike force. i would normally open a game with a welcome, but their is a somewhat lengthy intro to this, so i will waste no time.
Intro:
2016. It is a warm, summer night. The Commanding general of the United States army is sitting around a table in the war room of the pentagon with the president and vice president, along with a slue of other advisers and important men. the general is having a meeting with these people, and a very urgent one. he begins the meeting with a grim, yet perky welcome. "Hello everyone, and welcome. as you know, i planned this emergency meeting for no apparent reason, but this reason will become very apparent when i play you this," he clicks a button from his coat pocket and a TV appears on the other side of the war room. people adjust their chairs to see it. it starts off with a video of a tall man with black hair. he has nothing covering his face, and a very worn smile. He begins talking in a thick, Russian accent. "Hello Americans. i am Victor Rendolph, a man of great wealth and power. However, i have urgent business with the president, because he will want to see this," he stops talking and moves back away from the camera, to reveal a man in a chair. he is gagged and looks starving. This man is John Green, a general in the army. Victor then continues talking. "I have a bank account in the Americas. the number is 289647. in that account i need 3 trillion dollars placed by next week, or else you, Mr. president, and all of your friends will be soon in a position like this man." He looks towards the general and pulls out a pistol. he then takes quick aim and shoots the general in the head. he turns back to the camera. "If you do not cooperate, you and all of your fellow men will have the same fate. i have the means and potential of getting it whether you cooperate or not, so i expect payment within the next week. do not try tracking this message, whether you use satellite codes or not, because their will be consequences when you do. That is all i have to say. Good day, my friends."
he then shoots the camera. he must have got a live feed into the pentagon from his camera then shot the messenger. luckily, they must have recorded the message fairly quickly. the general stands up midst the chaos that begins.
"We are not putting 3 trillion dollars into his account, nor or we closing it. we have confirmation of the source of this message without tracking device. it comes from southern Iraq. the account this man has is existent, and somehow has an anonymous owner. Running facial scans, however, proves this man does not exist in the American database, so he could be quite the threat. The fact that he got one of our own generals from under our noses also proves he is deadly and has a network inside our own system. I am afraid their is only one thing we can do about this-" the president cuts him off.
"We send in the Strike Team, Commander," he says.
Character Sheet:
Name: (Realistic, for the sake of this game) Age: (18+) Bio: (optional) Class: (below) ---------------------- Level: 1 (0/10 XP) Weapons: None Equipment: None Inventory: None ---------------------- HP: 50/50 Conditions: Perfect
That sheet isnt to hard to figure out. however, there are some things i must tell you before we continue. your HP does not determine whether or not yo uare dead, but is merely a guide as to your general current health. Also, when you sign up, their will be some things added to your sheet. do not change them or worry about them.
You start this game by picking your class, and you are in. the class yo uare in LOOSELY determines your starting weapon, but not completely. the classes are below. of course, you are part of this assembled strike team to destroy this man.
Classes:
Heavy Assault: A man how is in the front lines with a fully automatic weapon and a goal: kill or get killed. your starting weapon falls between a pistol and an ARX. Light Assault: Assist the Heavy assault, With speed and accuracy in exchange for power. your starting weapon falls between a pistol and an AK-47. Medic: Heal, revive, and so on. self explanatory, you guide the men and heal them to safety. your starting weapons consist of a pistol and your healing laser. Sniper: From a distance, pick off as many men as quickly as you can with deadly precision and damage. your starting weapon is an WA2000. Heavy: Lead the pack, take damage, and deliver pain. You are the juggernaut. this is definitely the hardest class. picking this puts you in the middle of the action with either a heavy shotgun, flamethrower, or grenade launcher.
One concept you have to grasp about this game is that it is extremely dice based. the dice will do the following (and more): Determine your starting weapon based on class Determine all of your actions minus the most oblivious Determine all accuracy, bullets fired in a turn, and damage of them Determine the amount of enemies you face at any given time and their skill Determine LOOSELY certain objectives you will need to complete Determine LOOSELY the size of the the squad you are in Determine LOOSELY the actions of any AI
Keep that in mind, but remember, even with dice, your actions are still 100% of the game. this game is objective based. you will have a squad of men that will lead you through terrorist areas and kill them, but this is not call of duty, this is legitimate missions. However, do not think the story is over or the game takes place in only 1 area, because it doesnt.
the combat is turn and cover based, but you will get the hang of it. i will explain when we get their, but it will take some time before you do.
Well, anyone can join at anytime. i will just assemble a new force. however, if you signed up in the kickstarter you will all be in the same team. once those people have posted, the game will begin. How does it begin? that is determined by dice. (Keep in mind, this game isnt completely random, but is highly influenced by rolls). So have fun and remember, you are part of a team. i also ask for a lot of devotion to being active, so if you can, be that way.
Name: Zach Savem Age: 22 Bio: Joined up as a Medic after getting laid off as a paramedic. Class: Medic ---------------------- Level: 1 (0/10 XP) Weapons: M1911, Healing laser Equipment: 2 grenades Inventory: None ---------------------- HP: 50/50 Conditions: Perfect ---------------------- Defects: Below average hand-eye coordination Colorblindness Movement speed: 3.5m
that gun is pretty heavy, but one of your defects makes you slow.
(should we put gender? Just saying)
Im assuming your all guys, but if you aren't tell me or put it on your sheet.
I also scan for where the RPG was launched from.
the general direction of the building.
To the group:
this is a message for all of you to read, and they will be but simply like this.
The captain continues until he gets close to the building. He hides in some bushes about 15m from the building, out of sight from some men walking around. They appear to be on high alert. 5 men are walking around, appearing to be patrolling the area. they are armed well and mostly heavily. the captain waits for slow Sean and the rest of you to catch up and begins talking. "HQ says there are no objectives in this area except for us to kill as many of them as we can. We start with these 5, then we infiltrate the building. if we can, we need to move quickly and quietly. Sean, you will start this assault. get out there and start shooting. They don't see us yet, but they will once yuou start firing. when he begins shooting, we use him and these bushes as cover as they exchange fire."
You all wait for Seans first shot. I suggest you get into some covering positions. to left of you are 2 bushes, and to the right is 1. You will most likely be able to move to one without detection, but its not guaranteed. Use your character sheets from this point out.
sorry for ignoring you. you have an AK-47 primary and a M1911 secondary. you have lots of ammo. you have no grenades. you are colorblind and moderately slow, moving 2.25m per turn. you are with the rest of the squad behind cover firing at 4 terrorists.
Name: Sean Deane Age: Unknown. (Somewhere in his mid-twenty's.) Bio: (cut) Class: Heavy ---------------------- Level: 1 (3/10 XP) Weapons: Right: heavy shotgun (29/30 R10m), Left: Grenade Launcher (0/19 R20m) Equipment: None Inventory: None ---------------------- HP: 50/50 Conditions: Perfect ---------------------- Defects: Slow 3 Movement speed: 1m
Yes, and so it begins.
You step out of the shadows and fire the shotgun 1st, which with a range of 10m misses miserably, however you would have landed a hit. the grenade fires next. you make a shot untended to land in the middle of the group, but your accuracy is rather low. it fires far left. the explosion damages 2 of them, the shards of the metal grenade hits one as well. The one damaged man falls, but appears to be alive. the other gets his legs blown off. the metal scrap flies into the right arm of one disabling him. You gain 3 XP for everything their.
Combat Details: The strike Team: Sean 50/50 HP (1st fire) John 50/50 HP, 5 Steven 45/50 HP, 1 Zach 50/50 HP, 3 Tyler 50/50 HP, 8 Jeaven 50/50 HP, 7 Commander 100/100 HP, 2
1 terrorist disabled from firing 4 terrorist alive (20, 20, 20, 15 HP (disabled)) 2, 4, 8, 7
that is the combat. the numbers outside of parenthesis are the initiatives, the higher the number the 1st person to go. So, tyler and a terrorist will be going at the same time to kick off the round. once you all post, I will put the pieces together and the combat progresses. with this many people, it will be a lot to type and read, so keep with it.

I get to some good cover (tree trunk, bush, whatever is available) and attempt to pick off some of the enemies with my M1911.

Id go to another bush. While in the bush I make a small hole on it. Taking a look over it. Whispering words to myself, "I want my first short in head." Continues looking on it for enemy.
Combat Details: The strike Team: Sean 50/50 HP 3 John 50/50 HP, 4 Steven 45/50 HP, 9 Zach 50/50 HP, 10 Tyler 50/50 HP, 8 Jeaven 50/50 HP, 7 Commander 100/100 HP, 9
2 terrorists alive (20 HP, 5 HP), 2, 7
After Sean's initiation to the combat, the terrorist disperse. the 1st and fastest of them runs around the side of the building and uses it for cover. he then leans over the side of the wall and fires his Galil towards Sean. 10 bullets hit him. 7 of the shots plink of his juggernaut armor doing practically nothing. 3 of the shots hit is left arm with significant damage. Tyler quickly begins taking pot shots at one. You fire 4 shots, each of which hits with deadly precision in his abdomen, left arm, left foot, and finally a headshot, killing one. (2 XP). The next terrorist runs to meet with the 1st that moved, also taking cover with him. he fires 8 shots, and incredibly misses Sean with each shot. Jeaven runs to a bush for cover and fires 1 bullet from his AK that hits the disabled terrorist in the head and kills him. Zach gets into a covered position behind a bush and fires 4 rounds at a terrorist, missing with each shot. The commander pulls out an HK (which is a large machine gun) and fires 10 rounds into the terrorists in cover. 4 of them hit one of them, and he drops, but doesn't die. Steven idles. The next round's initiatives are above. the character sheets are below. John runs to a bush and makes a hole in it.

I move forward pounding at the terrorists with my heavy shotgun to pin them so the team can move up unperturbed. I also re-load my grenade launcher, if I can.
