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.

I will do that. I think theres another guy who was interested, so I'll do it on a first-come, first-serve basis.

And theres a link on my Profile-About, or you can look through the pages of Forum Games. I updated it about an hour ago, but Forum Games tends to have a lot of threads posted in atonce. The title is 'Dead Legions: Breakout'.

You attempt to follow him stealthy, but he's already seen you. Maby thats why he's fleeing? You lose him in the rain, and are now considerably closer to Normandy.

Your plane has been cleared for takeoff at 8:00 AG TIME, or 2000 hours (also AG TIME).

You tune in your radio, but it only crackles with static, even though you're in range...

You race back to base, and fly over it to find it in chaos: Apparently the Brits are starting to make raids on German Airbases. The comms tower is down, explaining your radio. You fly over the base, and:

You head out to Normandy (-10 fuel), and the rain lets off just a bit. You see the coast soon, and a German Airfield. They appear alerted to your prescence, but haven't spied you yet.

Hm.
I guess I will have to keep a low profile. Perhaps circle the area for an easy target, but keep my distance.

You attempt to maintain a low profile as you circle the base. Your not spotted, and you can see that the remaining buildings have been reinforced with sandbags.
