Band of Brothers[OOC/Open]

[Rynagria]

So will you be RPing Albert by D-Day? Plus wouldn't it be more likely if you call out last names instead of by first name?

Yeah, and sorry about that. I thought Elijah was your last name. Hehe.

I'll fix it, but...

Farrell's an asshole.

He just cares for his men. He's a tough son-of-a-bitch, standing up to Sobel. (Watch Band of Brothers... you'll know what I mean)

E: How are you loving this so far? I mean, IC Chat is alive now!

Th plan to overthrow Sobel right?

[Ausira]

Yeah, and sorry about that. I thought Elijah was your last name. Hehe.

Th plan to overthrow Sobel right?

Yeah. Remember how they did it, too. After the "Action Drills" in Georgia, the men found out that Sobel's twitchy in combat. When they went to English to perform another drill, he got lost and got chewed out. Remember that the Sgt's (All of the NCO's of Easy Company) had resigned from their position, and called for a mutiny against Sobel. Robert Sink talked to Sobel and had him reassigned to Chaplain's and Medical Airborne School. (Priests and Doctors)

Wouldn't a BAR be more suitable in the initial drop into France? Then as the allied forces move deeper into German territory to switch to a M1919A4/A6? Like how the M1A1 Carbine is suitable for the drop and some of the first initial engagements, but switch to an M1 Garand or the Thompson if the person gets promoted?

IIRC, the BAR was only issued to glider units. So the BAR wouldn't have made its way into Easy company since the 506 was a parachute regiment. And as for your other question, that wouldn't make much sense since on the initial drop there were already men who had the M1919A4 on them.

So, if I'm getting this correctly, the M1919A4 would be my best option, for realisms sake?

Yeah, it'd be more historically accurate that way.

[Buyan]

EDIT: Oh yeah, the proper carbine for the airborne is the M1A1 which had a folding stock compared to the M1 variant. Paratroopers were equipped M1A1s not M1s.

Aight, I'll take care of that.

I've opened up with Elmer Loewenthal. I'm especially looking forward to the interaction with Neurlant/Witte.^^ [IC]that dirty kraut[/IC]
It might be a good idea if everyone used the ranks a bit more in their RP, it might make it more easy to keep track of how everything relates (so you don't have to constantly look back what rank/position who is). A minor question, as I'm not used to those character RPs, how far can you go with, ehm... "not-your-role-characters". Can you say something with a different guys character (no big things, just a "yes" or a "no"), can you tell about a reaction he had? And what about "noone-role-characters" (like Sobel was in the beginning of the RP, as NP is RPing Spear iirc), can those be described more by every person?

[Weltmachtistan]

Nation name: Weltmachtistan
Character name: Christopher "Grizzly" Griswald
Age: 23
Appearance: At 6'4, 245 pounds, he certainly lives up to his nickname. He generally wears a combat gest, along with crossed bandoliers. An oversized helmet upon his head, with quite a few tallies scratched upon it, needless to say a kill-count. His combat pants holding a few tears.
Rank: I may need some help here
Role: Machine-Gunner
Weaponry: Browning M1919A4, 1911, a couple grenades, and a Bowie knife
Personality: Some may describe him with more... vulgar words. But, Grizzly us an absolute blessing upon the battlefield, all he needs us guys throwing handgrenades at him for the rest of his days.
Bio: Grizzly, earning his nickname through the gutteral grunting heard throughout the battlefield when he gets his hands on the enemy. And, quite frankly, because he looks like a bear. Grizzly was one of the few men put on this Earth, who were simply born for war. His love of lighting up enemy encampments with 50 caliber rounds is... Uncanny to say the least. Despite his rough edges, he is a powerful force on the battlefield, much to his enjoyment.
Anything else: Ready to collect me some Nazi skulls, sir!

Yes, he's loosely based off of "Animal Mother" from FMJ.

Edited as appropriate.

Name: Cpl.Andrew (The Bear)
Position: Assault Infantry (Assault Infantry did carry those two weapons I looked it up)
Equipment: M2-Flamethrower, Bar (If it comes down to it he usually only takes one on a mission)
Notable things: Was serving in the Pacific front but was moved down to the war in Germany (Did happen rarely)
Personality: Passionately hates the Nazi's and is proud to serve his country. He has an undying loyalty to his squad but sometimes can be brutal with the enemy.
Bio: "The Bear" Was not a named picked by his allies. The enemy calls him that due to his ruthlessness on the battlefield. He has a strong hate for Nazi's and what they are doing to people and takes pride and enjoyment every time he gets a kill. Due to his ruthless nature command sometimes gave him permission to use an M2-Flamethrower on certain missions and boy does he love watching cooked Germans. Many people ask how he got the name "The Bear" well lets just say a few Nazi skulls now have baseball bat dents in them. He was born in Brooklyn and raised from a son who did very well in a military career. On the battlefield many reports of him hitting the enemy in the head with a baseball bat have surfaced. Where does he get the bat? No one knows and no on really gives a shit as long as he is killing Nazi's. His mother died before he left and so did his father. He although alone is accompanied by his squad and that is all he needs. This killing machine is "The Bear"

Obviously not in uniform.

Looks better, but as I recall, a single soldier can't carry a Squad Automatic Weapon and a flamethrower. Not only will it weigh down the soldier, but expect them to be one of the first killed because they have a giant gas tanks behind their backs. Also the M2 Flamethrower was only used by regular infantry units, more so with the marines than the army though. Another thing is that since we're paratroopers, there really is no need for us to have a flamethrower.

Please use the app provided next time, because it would make more sense and more favorable if you don't create your own applications when they have you a template. Astor the decision whether to let you jump in or not, I'll wait for the other players to help me decide.

Also this, so you might want to let go of that Browning Automatic Rifle, and let it be replaced with a Garand or Carbine or something.

-Grudgingly gives up flamethrower- Maybe I'll get it for a brief time in the future? I'll stick with my Bar.

Read edit above, I have already asked about that.

[Vortukia]

I'm assault Infantry witch were used in combat during D-day and other operations (Including Paratroop divisions, Some troopers were diverted from Para trooping to D-day.) The Assault infantry used BAR's, M18 Carbines, M1 Garandes and Thompsons.

Yeah, but the 101st Airborne Division, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, Easy Company did jump into France at 1944. But they did not participate in the Normandy Landings what so ever.

D-Day is a broad term to, it means when the Allies broke through and finally got into Paris. There so many D-Day operations that you'll have to be specific, such as the beach landings, or Paratroopers dropping behind, into the German Military's lines.

[Vortukia]

I was hoping for Normandy landing.

[Verbluffen III]

What else did I have to fix?

[Rynagria]

I was hoping for Normandy landing.

Well, I think you should look up about the 101st and their participation in the War. Besides, the Normandy landings are getting a bit old.

What else did I have to fix?

Weapons can't be from the Wermacht military or not. The only thing you would've been able to keep is the Luger. Plus you can't be from the German Military either, as you would most likely get imprisoned than being drafts into the military.

[Vortukia]

I know the 101wt airborne but now I'm just awaiting confirmation to join

[Weltmachtistan]

So, what rank would you feel is appropriate for my character? I understand there is a bit if an issue, with too many high ranking soldiers? So, would Corporal be appropriate?

Well yes, the Luger would be kept. Can't be from the Wehrmacht? Well...

[Vortukia]

I believe I'm a corporal alreadly

[Weltmachtistan]

I believe I'm a corporal alreadly

I believe you just edited that in, considering it said pvt. less than a few moments ago. But, aside from the fact that you have not been accepted yet, there would most likely be more than one corporal in a unit.

The Paratroops were dropped in as a diversion from the main assault that came in the morning, paratroopers were also tasked with other objectives such as: capturing small towns and villages, destroying German gun emplacements, destroying bridges. Easy Company will parachute in with the task of eventually capturing Hitler's Eagles Nest at Berchtesgaden.

[Vortukia]

Shhhhh edit? Whatchu talkin about.

[Rynagria]

Welt you're the one with a M1919A4 right?

I think you would be an enlisted man, so probably a Private or a Private 1st Class. There weren't many NCOs using machine guns you see? Or perhaps you could use the Technician system?

I was hoping to do the German. I may be an expert on WWII, but not that much on the Americans...

Indeed, I am.

I'd be welcome to suggestion, so Private First Class? Or, what exactly do you mean by Technician system?
