Project Warfighter - Tier One RP Group / Happily Accepting

[Firewind]

Dat towards me bro

Nope towards Firewind and his 30 or so men. Although it could be toward you. I mean I'm running with a squad of 4 men. However what if I feel like I'm outnumbered. Oh I know how about I make the entire GOLDEN LEGION take part. That's a Legion of men. However considering it's my Spec-Op's it's more like 10 legions. So how about this 4-5 men thing then???

Well, the ship is home base right? Makes sense for a lot of people to be aboard. And don't worry, about half of them are going to stay in that room, while another few will be eaten, and the last few will go out and actually do stuff.

[Vancon]

In my opinion, 4-5 isn't reliable. You need to have some back-ups. That's why I have 15, rather then the original 8. They all have different roles to play, and they all are required for a mission to go according to plan at all times. Not only do we have spares, but we have those forces divide up into subgroups, and subgroups for those sub groups. They can all act independently or as one cohesive unit.

That and the good old ''strength in numbers" thing that totally has never been used before in anything ever.

[Hurtful Thoughts]

Although cross-tech RPing isn't as commonly accepted as it used to be, the generally accepted rule was that the ability to be the higher-tech power in an RP was something you had to earn through RPing.

In my first RP, I started out with crossbows and spears, against zombies from the bowels of hell. It wasn't a great RP, but it was good enough to let me progress my tech up to 1960's era.

The reason for this, is lets say you've been RPing for about eight years, and made yourself a minor super-block... then along comes a person who hasn't even been logged-in for more than 48 hours, and has technology that can pretty much run circles around your well-thought-out designs like some poorly written cross-tech anime.

ANIME PEW PEW

No, we must trust anime propoganda...

Yes, "you can dodge bullets by spinning", "infantry NEVER dismounts into a hostile DZ", and "tanks really do bunch-up like that when behind enemy lines", "ATGMs can shoot round tight corners (but can't hit a mech)", "A nation on the losing side of the war can build mechs that outperform the enemy's tanks/uber-monsters in every way", "tanks wouldn't risk shooting their own", "Power-traverse turrets are too slow to track a walking man*"....

*Actually, that's manual-traverse T-34 and Pnzr-IVs, you'd have to be clipping @ better than 50 mph @ point-blank to outrun an M1 Abrams's traverse....

And nevermind the fact that none of the vehicles wrecked are actually depicted as tanks.
They were all IFVs...

Also, I originally tried submitting a 15-man squad, but had it reduced to 9 for reasons.

As for cross-teching, it's a very dodgy subject. When done well, it's amazing. When it's done poorly, it sinks to the bottom of the barrel at light speed.

Probably in.

Just keep in mind my forces (and likely Servantia's) aren't impressed with shiny gadgets, they've been fighting mechas with their bare hands since before you even started RPing. And these are the characters that survived.

So picking a bar-fight with them because their equipment sucks is a good way to learn how to eat your food through a tube.
-Some troopers from GWO didn't seem to understand this little bit of advice.

[New Emmerian Coalition]

Well, Exantos brings up a very good point.

Guys, for the time being, cap your forces at 10 Men absolutely maximum. If you can deal with less, that's optimal.

I've had 15 for a while, and their use is described in my factbook for them. You accepted them.

[The United Remnants of America]

I used to have a 5 man team with 4 on the ground, but for Necropolis, I added a second team just so I could kill some people off. I'm currently at 8 and I plan to go down ever further soon when my teams meet with Lennox.

Wait, I think the rule was to use only that many on a previous RP; for Olympia I believe.

I haven't used these people in a PW mission yet though, but there is a reason for all of them.

We arn't impressed and we are happy to be lugging around the good old heavy weapons along side you comrade.

(fifty sappers to sink a battleship in the Great Minh war baby)

[Exantos]

Picking a barfight when you have pistols and they don't would be a better idea in any case. Also if Max has been raised to 10 then I think I'm going to see if I can get a technical specialist in there so I can have access to my AI at all times then. This will be fun .

Biography of Warfighter: The Firewind Blackguard was formed as a section of the Firewind Covert Operations branch, but has since been one of the top special operations units. The Blackguard hasn't done much combat, but their training runs have been near perfect. The unit has veterans from many wars and several other special operations units. The Blackguard is large, but works in 4 to 12 man units, depending on the size and importance of the operation.

Specializing in speed, the Blackguard usually travels light, and their tactics in most situations are to burst in and quickly clear the target area of hostiles before their enemy can organize a response. Any form of air travel is a favorite, and many training runs have been done quickly dropping out from a helicopter or parachuting down from high above. But when a quick strike from above isn't possible, the Blackguard will travel with all possible speed across any terrain to get to their target.

Firewind Military Command bunker, 1102 hours

General Ilmar walked into the room. Jarm was there, already, sipping a mug full of coffee. Grif was elsewhere, and Walker was doing whatever he was doing. Sitting down, Jarm spoke. "Atlas for the Blackguard? Are we privatizing our military now?" "No," Ilmar replied. "Atlas works towards the betterment of humanity. Giving them the skills of the Blackguard will further that cause, and ultimately make life better across the globe." "You have a point. But still, I have my doubts." Ilmar sighed. "Look. If nothing else, the Blackguard can take down an evil dictator. That at least gives it worth." "That's not what I am concerned about. I'm concerned about the leadership." "How so? They excel. That implies that their leadership must be good." "In the field, yes. But Colonel Tigren is not making ends meet behind a desk. He can work in the field, but not as a manager." "Do you have someone else in mind?" "Yes. A certain lieutenant who has been reading intelligence reports for me all year round. He's a born accountant, and we can't let skills like that go to waste." Ilmar got up, started walking towards the door, then turned around. "All right. Put this lieutenant in charge. I'll tell the team about the change in leadership." And then Ilmar left, followed shortly by Jarm.

South Helios training grounds, 1346 hours

"Thirty seconds till it blows! Is everyone clear?" "All clear." Come the voices of the other soldiers. "Mark, are you clear?" "Negative." "What's got you down?!" "No-" BOOM goes the building. "Mark? Are you there?" "I'm here. Dusty, but okay." "What kept you waiting?" "I was the one to plant the bomb. Everyone else cleared out before me." Neil Lamber spoke into the radio. "One of the hostiles got a shot off and injured his foot too. He was stumbling behind us, and we didn't know if he could make it in time." "Foot injury isn't that bad! It happened to me before. You were there, Lamber." "Yeah, but now you've had two feet shot out from under you. How many surguries will it take before you needing to limp?" "Quiet, both of you. General Ilmar has just arrived and wants to address the team. Return to base."

South Helios training grounds, 1404 hours

Neil Lamber and Mark Nabb arrived the in the barracks. It was temporary, like most places, but that was the life. After they were gone, someone else would move into this room. Sitting down on their bunks, the other troops of the Firewind Blackguard filed in. When they were all there, General Ilmar came into the room. Walking to the front, he turned and looked at all the troops there before speaking. "Blackguard, you are our most elite. Your training runs have been nothing less than exemplary, and your short but colorful combat record nearly flawless. Starting tomorrow, you are moving to the next step. An international task force, codenamed Atlas, has recently come under our attention. It is a force that has come together to stop those people who threaten human life. We want the Blackguard to join Atlas. While reviewing, we found that your commanding officer, Colonel Tigren, is unfit for the duties he has been assigned. Hence, the Colonel has been assigned elsewhere, and your new CO will be Major Halfey. Major, come in." On cue, the major walked into the barracks. "Hello troops. I've been working in intel, and this came as a surprise to me as well. I don't know what's in store for the Blackguard, but I can try my best to get everyone through it alive and well."

A flurry of questions came out from the troops, on all manner of things. General Ilmar held up his hands. "The Major will answer your questions one at a time. In the meantime, I'm off to draft and submit an application to get the Blackguard into task force Atlas."

Techlevel: On the edge between MT and PMT, and steadily headed further into PMT territory.

Looks great, welcome to Atlas; The Light Body Armor; btw, that only reduces the impact right? If it completely negates the round, that'd be Power Armor. (also depends on how many rounds it can take)

Also; I agree 100% with Congrevopia, and that Star Trek phaser explanation was way better than my long, drawn out Halo plasma armor one...

Anyways, that tech is not feasible, but also not even necessary in the Task Force as all transportation is provided. That, and yes, it 'may' be 22nd Century feasible, but none of Atlas' RPs will take place in the 22nd Century. I can say that. I'm de captain. Any the rules do clearly state that if a RP is not FT, no laser guns, and this si pretty much a general rule for 'Don't bring FT to a MT gunfight"

As with Grammar and RP experience, you may have 5 years but there still needs to be improvement, on both Grammar and RP.

So until these objectives are accomplished, I'm going to holdback on Frank O' Conner's application. If you would like to participate in the future, please redo an application.

[North Arkana]

I'll be joining actively once a new RP starts up. TG me once you put it up, because I'm not always on regularly.

I'd hope so. I'm just making sure is all.

I have somewhere around 8,000 Sentinels, but only 20(now 18) Special Operations troops and only 8(was 5 and then 10 before Necropolis) of them with Atlas, and those are the only ones I've mentioned here until now.

[North Arkana]

Yeah, I mean, the ASDF Survey Corp has 3,000 total, but operates in teams of six to ten, with larger deployments only for all-out war(as in not Special Forces RPs), and STU-S5 has 300, but they also operate in teams of six to ten.

[Exantos]

Ooh we talking total forces. Ok
Golden legion regular spec-ops for my nations about 10,000 deployed. Also don't think that this is regular military or anything we spend a ton of cash on these soldiers. Also operating in squads of 5/6 depends.
Golden legion RavenForce alliance. A special branch developed for RavenForce missions contains about 3000 troops. They operate in squads of around 5-15 it depends on the amount they need to get the job done.
