Creator's note:

This is a European-based sequel(?) to my previous 2 RPGs of the same name. I have drastically changed the storyies, ideas, etc, and this is the improved version. I WILL NOT be testing out ideas, so treat this seriously! Also, please enjoy.

Thanks,

British Royal Airforce (RAF) Story:

The British Warmachine is in throes after the ingloriious rout at Dunkirt. Bruised and battered, but not beaten, you prepare for your new assignment: protect Britain from the inevitable assault that will surely come from the Kraut hordes. As leaflets of Hitlers 'Appeal to Reason' rain down, you are filled with a new resolve to win, at any and all cost.

German Luftwaffe Story:

Operation: SeaLion, the plan to invade the British Isles, is now in effect. Your mission? Destroy the RAF. The German Army has already sent it realing. In the words of The Fuhrer '...selected by the fates to deal the final blow to the structure which these men (Churchhill and CO.) have already set tottering...". End. Them. Now.

Both Sides:

Your goal throughout the entire campaign will be in the role as a fighter-pilot. For the RAF, this means defending their homeland. For teh Luftwaft, this includes destroying the RAF and protecting the Bombers from attack as they progress to London and other British Cities.

Perks
British Royal Air Force (RAF) Perks:

RADAR: Your character can 'see' enemy planes and formations sooner.

Self-Sealing Fuel Tanks: If your fuel tanks are hight, less fuel will be lost.

Fisherman-Friend: If you go down, a friendly fisherman will be there to pick you up.

Exaust Covers: Your exaust pipes are covered, making you harder to see at night

Reflector Sight: Your guns are more accurate, due to your upgrade from the WWI-Era tube sight.

E-MARE-IH-CAN: Americans have come to help the war-effort: Your plane is repaired faster.

German Luftwaffe Perks:

Daschund-Belly: You have an extra fuel tank on your plane belly; your plane uses fuel more economically

Red-Cross Buoy: If you go down, a 'Swiss' AID buoy is always nearby.

Self-Sealing Fuel Tanks: If your fuel tanks are hit, you'll loose less fuel.

Londra: Italians have given you additional training; you do more damage.

Size DOES Matter: Luftwaffe's size is on your side: your plane is repaired faster.

Pure Race: Your eyesight is exceptionally good: your guns are more accurate.
__________
A few notes:

1. There will always be one choice out of four or five in which you die or get wounded. If you happen to choose that one, don't worry, I'll give you the option to parachute out a total of 3 times. After that, it's game over. War is hell, and people die.

2. You may have noticed the Armor/Fuel tabs. These can be your best friend, or your worst enemy. More fuel means you can out run the enemy in dire situations, but more armor means you can take less damage. Play to your strengths, because the enemy plays to your weaknesses.

4. Remember that you are not limited to the choices I give you. There will almost always be an answer marked "Other," where you can do something different or even do two actions I've given you, provided they don't contradict. Surprise me with your tactical skill! If you are especially creative, you may be rewarded with a new weapon or even a perk.

Good-luck.

Several things:

You didn't spend your points on Fuel/Armor.

You can only be fighters, so please pick the appropriate plane for your faction. Bombers would be something like:
Do you:
a) release bombs
b) release bombs
c) release bombs

On plane weapons, you can only start out with MGs.

@locoace3

Please conform to the RPG. I have it set like this for a reason. If you don't like it, make your own so you can do as you please.

JU-88 were fighter-bombers in a sense, though more of a bomber. It suffered from lack of mobility and speed, which is why twas mainly used as a cargo plane or for paratroopers.

Sorry, but no. Everybody has to follow the rules laid out in the OP. If you don't it messes up balances, statistics, blah blah blah.

Make your own RPG, conform, or leave. Not to be blunt, but if you have an idea, run with it.

Have at it: Just don't steal any of MY ideas. And any further discussion should be carried to my profile; I don't want non-RPG stuff in the RPG.

Bio: Formerly a street boxer in London, he joined the RAF to battle it out with the Hun on his own "home turf." His personal philosophy is to "speak softly and carry a big stick," as reflected by his Hawker Hurricane, which is outfitted with more armor than those of his comrades. He has a violent temper at times, but many a street fight has taught him to keep cool and calculating even in the fury of a fight.

I've got finals up until next Wednesday, but I did look at the trial with great interest when it was up. I'll try to stay active as possible.
