*This RP does break from actual history. Deal with it.
STORY:It is August 1940, during the peak of the Battle of Britain. An elite team comprised of the top soldiers from the British 2nd Parachute Brigade and the American 511th Parachute Infantry Regiment has been tasked with the assassination of Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring, chief of the Luftwaffe, and Hitler's chosen successor. The intended drop point will be about 30 kilometers south of your target. That's just under 20 miles for you Americans. You will work your way north to a small anti aircraft battery on Pikerts ridge. Göring is inspecting the defences there, you’ll have three days to get there and take him down. You will then head east about 15 kilometers to the shore, where allied transport will be waiting for you five days from now, at dusk. Don’t be late, or you’ll be on your own.
NEEDED RANKS: RANKS ARE FIRST COME FIRST SERVE (lieutenant and corporal applications subject to denial of rank)
1 Lieutenant (British or American): leader of the unit (note, this will come with a lot more responsibility)
1 American and 1 British Corporal (second in commands, some responsibility)
Up to 3 American Private First Class or British Lance Corporal
Unlimited American or British Privates
Application: (copy and paste)
- Code:
[i]Character Name[/i]:
[i]Character Rank and nation of origin[/i]:
[i]If going for Lieutenant or Corporal, what is your level in terms of basic military knowledge and/or strategy (limit to no more than one small paragraph)[/i]:
RULES:
- No meta/power gaming.
- OOC posts must be marked as such, anything not marked will be assumed as IC
- Final decisions regarding everything rest with Ranger. If you have a problem with a decision/ outcome, you may challenge it with a reasonable argument as to why it should be different. This does not guarantee anything will be changed.
- No editing/removing posts more than 30 minutes after making it or after someone else has done something that is dependent/would be affected by it. (if someone makes another post, but they are in another location and would not be affected by the change, you can still edit within 30 minutes of your original posting)
- It is possible for your character to die. It will not be a common occurrence, but if you solo rush a machine gun, don’t be surprised if you end up having to take over a new soldier in some re enforcement group. This would also mean you would not have any of the knowledge of your now dead character.
- IC ranks are a thing. You can disobey orders, but that could lead to consequences. Conversely, if you are higher rank than someone, that does not give you the right to take over their character via orders. Ranger reserves the right to change people's ranks if needed to keep the RP running smoothly
- Rules are subject to change as need be, rule changes will be announced.
MECHANICS:
- Each person will control their own soldier, and will control said soldiers action throughout the mission. Unless a player is gone/inactive for an extended period, each player may only make one or two posts at a time, then must wait for the other soldiers they are with to make a post detailing their actions.
- Battles will be determined by a modified D20 system. The general rule is 15-20 is killing shot, 10-15 miss but location not revealed if unknown, 1-9 miss and location revealed. This may be affected at Rangers discretion by factors such as weather, fatigue, what weapon you have, the enemies cover, etc.
- The mechanics will be developed as needed as the role play goes on.
Applications will be open until Friday night, at which point Role Play will begin. Anyone wishing to join after than time will need to talk to Ranger
