Join the German Luftwaffe or the British RAF in Battle of Britain! __________ 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, Maverick4 __________ 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. __________ Registration

And try to balance it out to 2 Brits and 2 Germans; more balanced=more fun. ---------- Name: (I shouldn't have to explain this, I hope) Age: (19-24) Force: (RAF or Luftwaffe) Rank: Pilot (this will increase with kills) Plane: (see below) Lvl: 1 0/20 EXP HP: 30/30 Fuel Amount: 100/100 Armor: (see fuel) Fuel: (you have 7 points to spend on armor and speed. more armor means you take less damage, but can stay up less.

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.

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. __________

You lead the Hurricane with your Machineguns, open up and...
BOOM!(+10XP) In a fiery explosion, the Hawker erupts into a mass of flame, debries, and body parts. You roll over the debrie cloud, and fly away with your first victory (and the first in this RPG). You now have to make a descision:

Damage you have sustained from combat means that you can't signal to your compatriots. YOu head back to base anyways (-40fuel), and make it across the channel without any further problems. You land easily on the Tarmac, and taxi into the hanger. You mention to the mechanics your radio problem, and they get right on it.
You are now refueled, repaired, and must wait 3 Hours (10:59 AG TIME) __________ Name: Jorden Adler Age: 20 Force: Luftwaffe Rank: Pilot Plane: Messerschmidt BF 109e Lvl: 1 0/20 EXP HP: 18/30 Fuel Amount: 40/100 Armor: 2 Fuel: 5 Perks: Londra, Pure Race Plane Weapons: (2) MG-17 Bio: Born in Breslau, Germany, Jorden grew up with much admiration of the Red Baron.

You level out of your climb, and watch as the Hurricane heads safely back to base. You start messing with the controls, but to now avail. Suddenly, you hear the dreaded PING of bullets as they erupt around your fuselage (-7HP). With a roar, you jerk your head over to see a Hurricane fly above you, racing to your right. It begins to bank around for another pass, and you:
A) Bank away, and try to outrun him B) Bank towards, and meet it head on. C) Maintain your current course D) Panic, and bail out

You bank towards the oncoming Hurricane. Its machineguns open up, and you reply with your own. You begin to take serious damage, as bullets rip into your engine block (-10HP). Oil starts to leak into the cockpit, but you're doing some damage, too. As you fire, your bullets slowly carve a path into the Hurricane's fueslage, disappearing into the cockpit. Suddenly, the Hurricane's glass becomes red, and the Hurricane limply rolls over, and crashes into the channel (+10XP). With your first victory, you decide to:
A) Fly back to base (-40 fuel) B) Continue on fighting (-10 fuel)

At signals from the mechanics, you taxi onto the runway. As you take off, you decide to:
A) Find some bomber crews to escort B) Run a patrol (-10fuel) C) Head to London (-40fuel) D) Fly out over the channel (-20 fuel) ---------- Name: Fritz von Hasselhof Age: 19 Force: Luftwaffe Rank: Pilot Plane: Messerschmitt 109e Lvl: 1 10/20 EXP HP: 30/30 Fuel Amount: 100/100 Armor: 3 Fuel: 4 Perks: Self-Seal, Red Cross Plane Weapons: 2 MG-17 Bio: Son of a Famous Infantry Officer from WW1, at the bidding of his father he joined up with the Luftwaffe to follow in his father's footsteps to Glory

You arrive in time to see the Hurrican explode into a glorious fireball. 2 109's have left due to leack of fuel, so now the fight is evenly matched. You arrived late, so you have the most fuel; fellow RAF signal that they are at 40% fuel.
You soon jump on the six of a 109e, and you fire a short burst at his fuselage. You score a few hits, and he now tries to escape with a straight climb (one that goes straight up). You then:
A) Follow after him B) Find some differnt prey C) Leave the fight, and go somewhere else

New Char sheet, woot! (Updates with first kill)
Planes? Pshaaw. Life ain't that easy.
You circle the airfield a few times, until you see a group of 6 planes flying towards you. You recognize them as Dornier-17s, or 'Flying Pencils' (named for their cigar-like shape). You waggle your wing tips, and begin to escort them to london. Do you:
A) Fly behind and above them B) Fly directly below them C) Fly infront of them D) Circle around them __________ Name: Joseph S.

You pull back on the stick, and begin to climb after the Hurricane. You fire a few more burst, but can't hit him consistently. You watch your altimeter: 10000, 15000, 20000, 25000 and then:
Your engine sputters, and dies (109e and Hurricanes had similar engine stregnths, but the Hurricane stalled sooner in a climb due to its increased size and weight). As you begin your free fall, you see the 109e also stall out, and think with some glee that atleast he's gonna go down too... Bullets begin to rip into your tail as he's now right behind you (-3hp): exactly as he planned. Do you:
A) Bail out B) Frantically pull on the stick C) Start mashing the starter button D) Scream

B) Frantically pull on the stick I was wondering, what happened to the "make your own option" thing? =(
