1st Campaign: Operation Barbarossa | Episode 2: Rest and Refit
You are a young Junior Lieutenant in the Soviet Red Army. You graduated from the Moscow Military Commanders Training School. You were either too young or lucky enough to survive the Soviet military purges of the 1930's. Given your education and the state of the Soviet officer corps, you represent the best of the best in the Red Army. You are an officer in the fictional units of the 30th Mechanized Corps or the 5th Fighter Division. The Soviet Union is also piloting a program for female soldiers, meaning female officer positions will be available in all areas. You will take command of a Tank platoon, Infantry Platoon, or a flight of Soviet Fighter planes escorting the Il-2 "Flying Tanks". You & your men are untested, nervous, but ready to fight the enemies of the Union. Your men have been given the best of the best of what the Red Army has to offer. Do not think yourself invincible, for you may fall in battle. While you may be few, your actions here may well determine the course of the war.
This is a Tactical Military World War 2 Rp. This means that you will be in command of units of the Soviet Army on the Eastern Front of World War 2. While this game will be cooperative, do not believe that it will be a cake walk over German enemies. Battle Results will be determined by RNGs which take into account tactical considerations (Numbers, positions, weapons), Roleplay quality (Better posts will yield better results), and skills of the officer. Battle moderators will control the NPC forces of both the enemies and friendly NPC forces. This game will be divided into a Front -> Campaigns -> Battles. Through this organization, player decisions and results form the beginning will shape the course of the war. Player characters will grow in terms of rank and skill. Depending on player rank, awards, and skills, players will be able to call in a limited amount of support during missions to accomplish their objectives. Combining player forces, support requests, and the NPC soldiers, players will work together to win the battle. Be careful with what you do with your characters, because your unit is likely to be slaughtered and your character killed for foolish actions.
