The Battle of Servograd [WWII, Horror, OOC]

[Al-Ghaihr]

THE BATTLE OF SERVOGRAD

Some music to get you in the mood and a video too!

The Battle of Servograd will be a Nazi Zombie-based roleplay with elements of WWII combat and horror mixed in. There will be no occult or magic in the roleplay. The Germans devised a virus made from an already existing virus and a chemical which reanimates the dead and thus have formed undead battalions to fight for the important Servograd Oblast. Your battalion has received very vague information (this is on purpose by Soviet High Command as to not demoralize troops.) and will be going into the city to try to put fourth a final liberation. The only hint that something is up is that your battalion has received a surplus of gasmasks and extra filters along with extra ammunition.

The Zombies in question will not be like the ones from George Romeo's films where a magical headshot will kill them. These zombies are more 28-days later style and can run fast and are mainly easy to put down. For instance, you can shoot their legs off or so to stall them. They do not need food/water to survive.

STORY

July 21st, 1944 - Servograd is a key industrial city in the Soviet Union and was the last opposition city before finally being able to reach Poland along with Romania. Servograd hosts a population or once did of around 732,000 and was a fairly popular city. Under the German Occupation. It fared well. But there were many incidents of people being mysteriously taken away at night and never heard from again. This event triggered the Soviet operation "Operation: Servograd's Liberation" which was the complete liberation of Servograd from German forces.

Initially. The battle played out like most on the eastern front and there was fierce street combat and not to mention hand to hand combat until reports of bright flashes in the sky happened. This incident triggered a temporary Soviet retreat until they could reorganize their men and of course figure out what was going on. After some time, Soviet patrols encountered heavily-bloodied German soldiers who reeked of death. When asked to surrender they did not and some charged at Soviet soldiers attempting to cannibalize them. The incidents continued until a formal investigation by Soviet High Command was launched with another assault taking place. This time the battle resulted in a minor Soviet defeat with Soviet soldiers being demoralized by German soldiers that they killed weeks earlier rising seemingly from the dead. The Soviet High Command and Josef Stalin ordered "Operation: Servograd" which was a vague operation and was given to quite a few troops who would be sent to Servograd and the Oblast of Servograd.

This is where the third battle for Servograd will take place. You, the soldiers have no idea what is about to happen. Only rumors of a new secret weapon the Germans are using persist among the ranks. A strict Political Kommisar has been deployed to your battalion that will be deployed to the Servograd Oblast and he will not see a retreat. There is a target list. Supposedly, Soviet High Command has marked SS-Obersturmbannfuhrer Hans Dietrich as a potential target who may behind the research serving as a SS researcher and also, a fierce nazi.

Name: Ivar Andersson
DOB: June 6th, 1921
Nationality: Swedish
Hair color: Black
Eye color: Blue
Height: 1.85 cm
Weight: 70 kg

Branch: Infantry
Rank: Sergeant
Backstory: Ivar's family were among the so called "Kiruna Swedes", workers from northern Sweden who migrated to the Soviet Union in the 1920s in search for a better life in what they thought was a more equal society, but in the end all they would meet was oppression, poverty, and death. Ivar was just a little boy when they left Sweden, with his parents and two older sisters. And in the beginning, things weren't so bad, pretty good for them actually, but in the 1930s, that changed. Ivar's father, Anders, a skilled miner and convinced Socialist, had always been very vocal about what he thought, and couldn't tolerate injustice, and made the mistake to openly critcize Stalin. He was arrested and never seen again. It's not clear weather he's in prison, Gulag, or already executed. Ivar's mother was of course heartbroken and never really herself afterwards, but was lucky in a way to not get arrested as well, since a local leading chekist fancied her, and indeed, after a few years he proposed to her, and void of all resistance, she said yes, even though she didn't love him back. She reasoned that by marrying him, their family would at least have some protection.

Ivar's sisters went to work in the local industry, and he took refuge in the army, even though he already hated the Soviet system and everything in it. However, it was near impossible to get back to Sweden for many practical reasons, and without his family, what would he do in a country he almost didn't remember?

In 1939, he was lucky in a sense that he didn't need to partake in the attempts to restore the borders of 1917 with the attack on Poland, or (in his opinion) worse, Finland, since he by then was part of the force which pushed the Japanese out of Mongolia, a struggle which he could see as just. There, he excelled in battle.

Later, when Hitler broke his pact with Stalin, Ivar would once more fight Fascists, in the Great Patriotic War. A rather funny episode occurred when he had captured an SS-soldier, and just as he was about to shoot him right between the eyes, heard him curse at him in Swedish. It turned out to be a Swedish Waffen-SS volunteer, and they had a rather interesting chat (to say that it was a very nice or friendly one would be to exaggerate, but interesting nonetheless), and Ivar decided to spare him and brought him behind the lines, where the prisoner was then either transported to a POW-camp, or executed by someone else. Not that it really mattered. As much as he hated the Communists, he realized that the Nazis were just as bad. However, he understands why many Soviet citizens choose to become Hiwis, but that doesn't mean he'll spare them when he meet them on the battlefield.

Ivar is quite outspoken, but not as much as his father. This has hindered his promotion. However, as much as he dislikes it, he gets away with much because his stepfather is a respected police officer, so it evens out in a way.

Branch: Sniper/Shock Troops
Rank: Corporal
Weapons: Modified Kar98k (can be equipped with scope), PPSh-41, M1911A1, Bowie Knife, 4x Grenades
Backstory: Nikolai was born in Finland in 1918, only a few months before the First World War would end. During his young life, Nikolai would consistently be trained by his father (who was a veteran of the First World War) in firearms, often going on hunting trips, quickly becoming a natural and expert sharpshooter. At age 17, he would join the Finnish Army, becoming one of her best snipers and soldiers overall, and becoming good friends with one Simo Häyhä. When the Winter War broke out in 1939, Nikolai would fight along Simo, who would often give him tips and additional training out in the field. There, Nikolai would almost be on par with Simo in terms of skill, killing many Soviet Soldiers. However, during the last month of the war, Nikolai would be captured by the Soviets and held in a gulag in the East, where he would suffer and see the true barbarity of the Communist Regime. That would end in 1941 with the German invasion of the Soviet Union, where Nikolai would be conscripted into the Red Army. Stuck in the Red Army and unable to desert to the Germans because of the risk of his secret Jewish heritage, Nikolai (using the Finnish word for Hunter as his last name instead of his real one, to keep his family safe) would use his skill to the fullest, achieving the rank of Corporal and being heralded as one of the Red Army's best Snipers. Now assigned in this front of the war, he thinks of what's different now.

Branch: Support gunner / Automatic rifleman in a motorized rifle brigade
Rank: Corporal (Yefreytor)
Equipment: Degtyaryov '27, 1x RPG-43 anti-tank grenade, 1x RGD-33 grenade, Spade.
Backstory: Voloshyn was born in the Ukrainian city of Odessa. His parents were Mikhail Sokolov and Kateryna Sokolov née Voloshyn. His father Mikhail was a member of the communist party, and was influential enough to be sent to Odessa, Ukraine, to strengthen the Soviet regime there. Leonid was indoctrinated with Soviet propaganda from an early age, and strongly believed in the regime. His father supported the Holodomor in his administrative work in Odessa, and had to flee the unruly city in Western Ukraine. Leonid's family settled in Leningrad, where Mikhail continued working for the regime until his death in 1934. Voloshyn had been taught about his homeland of Ukraine ever since he was a little boy. His mum was Ukrainian, so she talked to him about the long plainlands that made up the heartland of Europe, and about Ukraine's past. Leonid became fluent in both Ukrainian and Russian, and when the Germans invaded in 1941, he offered his services to the government that employed his father. Voloshyn was promoted to the rank of corporal very quickly, because he was the son of a somewhat respected official, ideologically on-par with the soviet regime, ambitious and a natural in his work. Leonid "Voloshyn" Sokolov adapted his mother's maiden name because of his ancestral ties to his homeland of Ukraine, and the Soviet army assigned him to a pro-Soviet Ukrainian unit, so that he could win over the hearts of his men, who were sometimes skeptical about the Soviet regime, and so that his qualities could be tested on the field. He and his motorized rifle unit did very well, and were then hand-picked to serve in the battle of Servograd, so that propaganda could tell the Ukrainian people that their soldiers had won a great victory.

[Offer Erapia]

Im taking a liking to this rp, but, have some questions. First, i know the americans aided the russians in the land lease pact. So, would it be possible, or not, if i could have something like a m1 garand in the red army. Second are we limited to just infantry men or could we be a part of say a tank crew or mortar team.

I’m just gonna add my 2 cents give this
1. The problem is that the M1 Garand was not a weapon the US supplied during the lend lease pact. If you want a reliable semi-auto, your best bet is the SVT-40
2. I think we could be members of the armoured or artillery corps, there is a branch section to the app after all

[Vrijstaat Limburg]

Mortar teams are hugely different to armoured units. I think that you can get away with a mortar team quite easily, because I think most soviet army units had mortar groups on a platoon level, if not on a company level. As for tanks: The OP said that the offensive to Servograd was going to be a big one, with loads of units participating. Tanks are highly ineffective in cities. The narrow streets that they have to drive through can be crowded with enemy infantry that can throw anti-tank grenades upon them and find shelter in the buildings, so driving a tank will be kind of inprobable. I'd ask the OP whether you could drive a tank, but if you'd like to be a mortarman, I think that you could go ahead and do that (Do mind that mortars and tanks need to be manned by a crew. Depending on your tank you'd be looking at around 4 tank crewmen (Loader, gunner, commander, driver, perhaps a machine gunner). Mortars can be manned by two men (A gunner and a loader). You'd have to create multiple characters or play with another person

Zombies sounds fun. Questions; does the Germans controls the zombies as well? Or this is a battle against the zombies in its entirety?

And if the Germans don't control them, do we have a temporary truce at the start of the RP, or is that something that our characters in that case would negotiate on their own?

Accepted, the Zombies are attacking both the Germans and Soviets but there won't be a ceasefire. As I mentioned. The RP will be a combination of WWII battles and zombie battles.

Sure. You can be limited air support but I doubt you'd have much fun as it involves zombies attacking from the shadows/etc. But it'll come to open zombie combat pretty soon as well as traditional WWII combat.

Cool, but I'm pretty sure that the La-7 could hold small bombs, so there's that.
