[The Armed Republic of Dutch Coolness]

Because that's what I wanted to base the basic setting on?

Mind, it's not actually set in the actual American Revolution, or in our own universe.

So your country have connection American Revolution?

Space American Revolution. With Mecha.

I know, P. I know, I'm just confused as to why people must always use something that is come from America.

Because everything that isn't 'Murica isn't interesting, obviously.

I don't see why everyting isn't Murica isn't interesting. Then again, I'm not a Murican.

Double negatives.

Well, if I change that the sentence'll get a whole different meaning

No, Italy has little no connection with the American Revolution. Maybe a few, rare Italian immigrants worked for the Patriots or the British, but I doubt they had any significant impact on the whole thing.

Same as my country.

As we saw from WW2, Italians best stick to the kitchens/giving me an inferiority complex.

Weak leadership, too. And weak military efforts, too.

According to Rommel, Italians were "an army of lions led by sheep".

IMHO, that's an accurate statement.

A lion does not concern himself with the opinion of a sheep.

[Constaniana]

With mecha.

No, I know that. But why American Revolution?

So the missus and I can bask in old-fashioned British imperialism and have the Loyalists win. *nods*

I fear we made Albia too much sympathetical.

I like this.

I'm in, as your supporter, C.

I completely agree, as long as you don't stick the Sicilians in that category, for a number of reasons. Or, you know, anyone who isn't Mussolini's men. He wasn't exactly the best leader they could've had.

Italians played a big role at Kasserine Pass IIRC.

[Natair]

High Concept: Fast paced character RP
Genre/s: Horror, Action...
Detailed Description: A Short roleplay where a few characters try to survive as long as they can in a hostile environment (Like a Shady Motel where a/some serial killer(s) lurk in the dark... Or an abandoned city filled with mutant creatures.)
Already have part of the OP done, but unsure if its worth starting. Anyone interested?

Sounds like some Left 4 Dead sh!t to me.

1. Except the Wookiepedia article clearly states several AT-ATs were lost to treacherous ice conditions (i.e., crevasses and the like) before even getting a chance to engage the Rebels.

2. Didn't seem to affect the Rebels (neither the snowspeeders, nor the starfighters, nor the starships), Imperial dropships, or the Imperial probe droids all that much.

3. Like they weren't already? That was pretty much exactly their design philosophy, was quantity over quality.

1. Precisely! I know that doesn't sound like the answer you were expecting, but they never sank into the snow, they instead fell into geographic barriers the pilots misjudged or didn't see early on enough. The article never states that the AT-AT's weren't fit for the battle and rather all losses taken before the actual fighting were due to Veers attempting to take a route that had already been deemed shorter, but much more dangerous. Given that in spite of what has been said previously, Vader actually had plans to destroy the base from orbit before he knew Skywalker was present, but yet again, error on the part of the Fleet Admiral gave the rebels an early enough warning to get their defenses up. Also, inb4 you say you never said what I just disproved:

3. Read my post again. I never said it was impossible for the walkers to get through. In fact, I clearly and blatantly acknowledged that they DID get through, even though they clearly shouldn't have, as they should've sank into the ice and snow like a Wooly Mammoth in a tar pit.

2. First, the snowspeeders were designed to deal with the cold and thus were built to withstand such forces; the starfighters and transports evacuating the base were doing just that, evacuating! They weren't attempting a precision bombing strike on a heavily defended shield generator; Imperial dropships are too big and powerful to be affected by such factors and the Imperial probes travel over the surface and have been given the necessary tools needed to scout out their individual targets.

3. Indeed, but to have sent in squadron after squadron through undoubtedly well-guarded holes in their shield defenses would have put too many Imperial resources at stake, and given that almost everyone involved in the Battle for Hoth was incredibly skilled and had plenty of combat experience thus leading to such an outlook being highly risky given the low chances of actually successfully completing the mission.

I see this contributes heavily to the development of an RP.

It does, currently debating whether or not I should continue on with using basic Imperial forces as seen in the Trilogy to retake certain planets within one of the newer RP's, and thus, by contributing material, I'm developing said RP. However, in order to do so, I must discover potential flaws, and the research I've done around this topic is certainly far from over.

How successful do you think a Valkyria Chronicles RP would be?

Just a thought from all this talk about mecha.

No lolly-gaggin'.

I don't think it would be successful in the hands of just anyone.

[Agritum]

Admittedly, I should watch Frozen and try to put Arendelle in the framework of the 30 Year War against Cinderella's Austria.

Agritum, what are you trying to accomplish? Elsa would be an old hag by the end of it.
