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.

I collect some grenades(If there are any) and then throw the grenades at the bunkers so the bunkers will be destroyed and japanese soliders can not hide there any longer. If there arent any grenades i then keep shooting japanese soliders.
Hello everyone, I'll be finishing up January 2 1942 before we start January 3.

You pocket the clip and move upstairs once again after clearing the second floor. As you get to the top floor, you see a large MG mounted on a tri-pod and put to the side of a window. Obviously it's hidden from plain sight, but easily moved in order to assault the town. There's a door directly across from it, from which you hear movement. Your troops look to you for orders.

You find a couple grenades and lob out out of a window towards the bunkers, but they're too far for it to land inside. It rolls to the side of the bunker and explodes, leaving a small hole in the wall but not much else. You save the other grenade for a better time, and go back to shooting.
Sorry if your days are uneventful, Razer, but this was a pretty major battle in the war. If you can think of something to help your allies, you never know what might come out of it. If you can't, then just shooting will definitely help.

Hm........... I try to find 5 or 6 scopes then attach 1 scope on my gun and the rest of the scopes are for my 5 man squad. Then we will go on a good sniping place and shoot the japanese!

Your squad leader agrees that scopes for the riflemen would help, as they'd get more hits with less ammo. He tells you to go look in the storage area and take some scopes from the M1 Garands. You find four M1 Garands with scopes, which are better than your scope currently, so you replace yours. You take two more for the two riflemen (Your squad leader and the other rifleman), and have them attach them to their rifles. The other squads follow suit, taking scopes off of unused guns and using them for their own guns, generally increasing the accuracy of the basic riflemen.

We then go to a nice sniping place and start shooting the japanese.

You listen closely near the door, and hear what definitely sounds like German. You motion for the rifleman to turn the MG around towards the door, and he successfully sneaks past the door to get the MG, and places it in the doorway. Peering through for a moment, he motions to the left, and raises two of his fingers towards you. Clearly they don't have sight of the door.

I tell him to get on one side of the door and one 3 we rush in and shoot all the germans.
