Greetings, and welcome to WWII Europe. In this RPG, you will play as a soldier in WWII starting on January 1, 1942. At this point in the war, the Soviet Union has joined the Allied side and been with them for a full year, and are pressing their counter-assault on Nazi Germany. This RPG will not be completely accurate in it's historical events, for game-play purposes. Not all battles that were lost, will be lost here. And not all battles that were won will be won again. Perhaps Nazi Germany wont be defeated, and will break the will of the Allies in Europe and proceed to take over Soviet Russia. Only time will tell.
First off, some rules.
1. Control only your character. Want a team-mate to do something? Tell him to, and he will try his best. 2. Do not assume you succeeded. Please post what you attempt to do and any extra notes about it, but not what happens. 3. In the event you and another player are in the same battle, it is paused until all plays post their move. If someone doesn't post their action within a reasonable amount of time, they will automatically do what makes sense. Ex. Take cover, run away, etc. 4. Please read over your post before you post it. Does your action make sense? Has your question already been answered? And so on.
Now that that's out of the way, some information about your character and your options. You can join one of many armies, of one of six nations, of one of two factions. Your first choice. Are you part of the Allies, or the Axis? Your second. Are you part of the UK, America, Russia, Nazi Germany, Italy, or Japan? Your next choice is what your character is. Is he/she a foot soldier? A pilot? Perhaps they're in the navy. After that, you must choose further specialization. Are you a demolitions expert, a support gunner, a designated marksman, or perhaps you pilot a fighter plane, or a bomber, or are a gunner on a ship. Perhaps you drive a tank, or are the wheel-man for an armored vehicle? You decide.
Now, please fill out your character sheet. There is always room for more, unless stated otherwise.
NamePlease choose a name that fits your Nationality.) Gender: Age18, 17 for American, 14 for German) NationalityUK, Soviet, American, German, Italian, or Japanese) Description: Biography: InjuriesLeave blank unless you want to play with a handicap.) Health status:Good Stamina:100% ArmyLeave blank.) TeamLeave blank.) RankWill take from age and biography.) Specialization: WeaponsLeave blank.) EquipmentLeave blank.) Misc.Put things that you actually use, not things like "Food" "Water" "Family photo"
Your description does not need to be very descriptive. Tall, green eyes, red hair is perfectly fine with your nationality. Any marks or scars or extra things like that is just for fun, and will help me spice up roleplaying. Your biography on the other hand, is very important. I will derive your rank, your abilities, which army you're in, and how people act towards you by how your character has been developed and how their personality is. Please put your background, your personality, and traits or extra tidbits, along with anything special about your character in the Biography section.
Injuries are optional for now, if you sustain one during combat, it will be listed there.
Your Specialization is what kind of soldier you are. Like before, are you a marksmen, demolitions expert, do you pilot a plane? Please be descriptive as possible here on what you do, and I'll simplify it. The more info, the better.
In the Misc section, I'll give you an example of what my character would have.
Frederick Von Bergerdorf, a Nazi support gunner of the Schutzstaffel, ranked what would be Corporal in America, was given a balisong (Butterfly knife) by his father when he was a child, as stated in his biography. That would be his only important misc item, and would be the only thing I list there. It can be left blank. Things like that would not be listed under weapons, as a Balisong is not a fighting knife, it's a knife that most people keep around for doing tricks and just basic cutting, like cutting wrappers and whatnot.
After you're done, please post your character sheet and await a response. Any questions should be posted above your character sheet, along with any comments that aren't about your current action.
Extra note: I'm a GM for Call of Cthulhu in my town. You can trust that I know what I'm doing, and will do my best to give you the best experience possible. I will be using my dice using the D20 system that is taught in my version of Call of Cthulhu, instead of just making up what happens. If you get shot in the head, it's because that guy with the pistol rolled a 1 on his D100. Tough luck, friend.

He signed up to be a demo expert because he always had a strange fondness for explostions. Expecially the TNT kind. He got his scar from a bad explostion when he was making his own blackpowder and the measurments wernt right. So it exploaded and he sheilded the blast with his arm and thats why theres a big deep scar from the shards that came off.

One of your comrades moves forward with his knife, covering the mouth of the sleeping Nazi and then cutting his throat, pulling him off the chair and laying him in a corner. You all then move downstairs.
Downstairs, you find a long hallway with four doors. Judging the distance of the doors, each room is pretty big. You all move through the rooms and find they're storage rooms. The last room on the hallway is filled with land mines, grenades, rockets, and a general assortment of other explosives.
Mhmm. Sorry, but I doubt five shots from a rifle will hurt these PT boats. Even if they do penetrate, it's not enough to cause enough water to make them abandon them.

Oh.Ok. I then try to shoot the guy driving the PT boats because it will make the PT boats stop and make our enemys more vunreble.

Much better.
You shoot once at the driver of a PT boat, and the bullet crashes through his windshield, though it doesn't hit him directly, it barely misses his head, causing him to duck down, stopping the boat momentarily. You move on to another. You shoot, and hit the driver in the chest, causing the boat to stop in the middle of the water. Your next shot is the same. Your next shot misses. Your next shot causes another boat to stop.
As you reload, the Japanese in the boats that are permanantly stopped jump out and swim to the shore, exposing them to incoming fire, and many of them are mowed down before they can get out of the water.

I say "Bingo. i'll set here." i place the satchel charge hidden under a pile of rockets nearby. "Comrad lets get out of a watch the fireworks" I say with a grin.

As you're leaving the bunker, you hear a scream come from the sick bay you recently left. A nurse wearing a Swastika on her arm runs out screaming something in German, and the patrols begin shouting to each other, and looking around. An alarm is sounded just before one points at your group and shouts, and all the patrols turn with their rifles and begin firing at your group, which is still inside the bunker.

I then leave the machine gun and let another solider have it while i go and shoot the japanese with my rifle because it is more accurate then a machine gun.

You aim your rifle at the incoming soldiers and begin shooting, but before too long the bunkers in front of you are blown up, and the Japanese begin marching towards you. You see hundreds of PT boats coming towards the shore, and while you have thousands of troops on this island, you're just the front of the defense. Bullets begin to clink against the side of your bunker, and one even flies past your head as the marksmen, along with you, are called back to the main group.
You'll have to wait for a while. After some time I'll tell you how the battle ends, same with Vlad.

Your officer, already shouting orders to his troops, opens fire with his PPD, and your grenade rolls towards the group of Nazis and explodes. The shrapnel tears the clothing of the nearest Nazi, which is still a decent ways away, and you realize, they're out of your explosive's effective range.
Two of the Nazis fall down as your comrades begin firing, but unfortunately one is shot in the neck and falls down, lifeless.
