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.

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. __________

This is good, right? Also, I might be mistaken, but wasn't the Mosquito more of a bomber than a fighter?

It was a twin-engined fighter aircraft. Made entirely in wood, it was exceptional as a fighter, reconnasance aircraft, or light bomber. Mk.II was the designated Night-Fighter. And why does 'Umbra' sound so familiar...?
With new orders, you take off from your airstrip as night falls, and turn off your flight-lights. You begin to head out towards the channel. You now have several options, and decide to:
A) Head out for the German airbases (-40 fuel) B) Patrol over the English Coast (-20 fuel) C) Patrol over the Channel (-20 fuel)

You wheel your plane over, and open up with a short burst. Most of your shots end up in the Hurricane's Engine Block, and light smoke begins to wisp out of his Engine. He races by you, and you:
A) Turn to follow him B) Help out the Bombers C) Ditch the bombers, and head back to the channel D) Make your own option

It's an astrological term for the darkest part of the shadow cast during an eclipse. See?

You were refueled/repaired at base; sorry.
On Umbra: Very Interesting
You head out to the German Airbases, and soon fly over a small airstrip. Theres a few planes lined up, and more could be around, so you:
A) Strafe the grounded planes B) Bomb the Facilities C) Search the night for any nearby 109e(m)s

C) Search the night for any nearby 109e(m)s Just to be safe, Cooper does a few circles of the perimeter, scouring the area for any enemy planes. He also uses his new RADAR to help him as well.

Bugger... I apologize for the inconvience.
You position your plane above and behind the Heinkel-111h's. You make it across the channel un-attested (-40 fuel), and the Heinkels signal 5 minutes till drop. Suddenly, your plane rocks violently in the air (-5HP). Tommies throwing up Flak, and they don't really care who they hit. You watch as one of the Heinkel's wings blows off, and it plummets through the clouds and out of sight. The Heinkels are releasing their payload, when suddenly, your pounced by two Hawker Hurricanes! They don't see you, and instead head right for the bombers. You:
A) Take out the lead Hurricane B) Take out the second Hurricane C) Abandon the Horniers D) Dive, and start straffing London

Eh... sorry If I didn't clarify, but RADAR is more like 'better and more often reports from Fighter Command'.
You circle the Airstrip, and don't see anything (which isn't saying much, consisdering how dark it is). Your pretty sure your alone, so you:
A) Strafe the grounded planes B) Bomb their facilities C) Look for other targets
