Frontlines: Allied Assault

"We're not going to just shoot the sons-of-bitches, we're going to rip out their living guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks. We're going to murder those lousy Hun bastards by the bushel. War is a bloody, killing business. You've got to spill their blood, or they will spill yours." - George S. Patton

IC | Sponsored by the CAS Region

Current Date: 8th November, 1942

1st Campaign: Operation Torch | Chapter 1: Operation Brushwood

You are a Second Lieutenant in the US Army. You command a platoon of soldiers fresh out of boot-camp...much like yourself. You are ill-experienced in the art of war but this matters little. Your country has called upon you to serve, many of you are lawyers, businessmen, and teachers who went to college before you were drafted or volunteered after the events of Pearl Harbor. And while you may not be facing the Japs who started America down this path you must remember you face a far more dangerous foe...Nazi Germany. In just a few years Germany has amassed a large Empire that spans throughout continental Europe and into North Africa. It's up to you to take that territory back and kick those Nazi bastards back to Berlin. So, do you have what it takes to save the world from the Nazi menace, or will you fall like so many before you?

This is a Tactical Military World War 2 Rp. This means that you will be in command of units of the US Army on the Western 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.

Character Application

Name: Asher Stein

Age: 24

Gender: Male

Ethnicity: Caucasian with Jewish Ethnicity

Rank: Second Lieutenant

Unit: 1st Platoon/1st Company/1st Battalion/60th Infantry Regiment

Skills: Superior Equipment, Snipers, (Doesn't require a skill slot) Speaks German

Appearance (Picture, Description, or Both):

Height of 6'2'', Blue Eyes, Short Blonde Hair.

Personality: Hostile towards Nazis (will not take Nazi Party members or SS Captive), Caring and Lighthearted towards his soldiers, worried about his old flame Dana Gerst.

History: Born in a small Wisconsin town to a family of German-American Jews, Asher Stein grew up in a stable and productive environment. He was loved by his family (parents, one older sister who's 25, one younger sister who's 22, one brother who's currently 17) and was good at making friends with the local children. When he was in high school Asher found himself falling for a German-American girl named Dana Gerst, she replicated the feelings and the two became close at school, however outside of school the two remained separate due to Dana's parent's holding heavily anti-Semitic beliefs. The two carried on their relation in secret however when Asher was 18 and the year was 1936 Dana's parents and Dana herself moved back to Germany after hearing of the successes of the Nazi controlled nation. This devastated the two who were now only able to keep in contact via letters (with Asher needing to assume the name of one of Dana's friends back in America to fool her parents), though it proved sufficient contact to keep the two's feelings for each other burning.
After high school Asher went to university with the goal of getting a doctorate in History, as Asher was successful in classes an idea was borne between Dana and Asher in their letters with each other. Asher and Dana would save up money so that Dana could escape from her parents into France where Asher would be waiting hopefully with enough money to get them both back to America...this plan was made back in 1939 just before the invasion of Poland. When the war started all means of communication were cut off and Asher has spent the last 3 years unsure of Dana's health and activities. Seeing no way to make his way into war torn Europe, especially with the Nazis in control of much of it, Asher continued his studies and was only a year away from his doctorate when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. When Germany declared war on the US Asher went to his nearest recruitment center and volunteered in the US Army. Now as his landing craft approaches the beaches of Morocco, Asher prepares himself for his first taste of combat against the Vichy French.

Pretty good, just three things, you can only start with two skills that are listed in the OP, equipment should show what your Platoon as a whole has and not just your commanding officer, and your unit is what platoon, company, and battalion you're in so I can update the OP with your character's place. Just fix that and we're good.

Edit: Also we're starting in Africa not Europe so you might want to change that part of your history.

You have 47 people in a platoon, typically I like to do it where we have 4 regular squads of 10 and then a command squad with support groups (like my app shows) in it. You'll need to edit it so you have those 47 people.

Is two squads too little

Serephia wrote:Is two squads too little

First, those are fireteams (squad is 9-10 but you probably want to keep it at 10 for the four regular squads and 7 for the command squad), second you need to have 47 troops in your platoon as this is a platoon-based combat experienced.

Eh, I'm really looking for Americans but...due to lacking participation if you can make an app that explains how a British officer ended up in a U.S. Army unit then I'll consider it.

Character Application
Name: Luke Weave
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Ethnicity: Scot-Franco-American
Rank: Second Lieutenant
Unit: 1st Platoon, 2nd Company, 1st Battalion, 60th Infantry Regiment
Skills: Skilled Soldiers x2
Appearance:

Personality: friendly and down-to-earth, Luke is nonetheless very pragmatic in regards to the lives of his men. He expects the best of the soldiers under his command, creating a special bond which more charismatic leaders never form with their unit. The war has brought out the best and worst of Luke, seeing him very open with his men one minute and ordering them to charge the worst of the enemy defenses the next. Even so, he is a family man first and foremost, seeing this war as both his test before entering manhood and his blessing for making the world safer for his children.
History: The Weaves have had a tradition for providing soldiers to the States, with every generation providing at least one son during war and peace. His father volunteered to serve in Europe during World War One, earning an almost infamous reputation as a no nonsense soldier. He was a man who seemed to enjoy the war, leading him to volunteer for the expedition to Russia. After the American forces were drawn out, Luke's father tried to settle down in England with one of the nurses who he had started a relationship with during the Great War. The post-war years were very difficult for the couple, so they returned to the States, returning to the family home outside of New York.
Growing up in the shadow of his family's exploits, Luke was destined to follow suit after completing his education, a decision which saw him meeting his newly-wed, Frances née Noonan. He joined the army straight after Pearl Harbour, instead of seeing through his doctorate in English to the end. Marrying Frances on the eve of his departure, Luke is expecting to return home to his parents, wife, and a child to call his own.
He and his soldiers are some of the best recruits in 2nd Company, a decision made by their CO out of pride and prestige rather than any actual tactical role. They were to be the vanguard of the Captain's political rise through the ranks, the heads of every parade and the medal-winners of the regiment. Such a goal meant that in preparation for their departure to Europe every man had seen almost half-again as much training as the next man. They had given up almost the entirety of their leave for their CO, creating a strong bond between them that most hoped would see more of them through to the other end.

Personality: friendly and down-to-earth, Luke is nonetheless very pragmatic in regards to the lives of his men. He expects the best of the soldiers under his command, creating a special bond which more charismatic leaders never form with their unit. The war has brought out the best and worst of Luke, seeing him very open with his men one minute and ordering them to charge the worst of the enemy defenses the next. Even so, he is a family man first and foremost, seeing this war as both his test before entering manhood and his blessing for making the world safer for his children.
History: The Weaves have had a tradition for providing soldiers to the States, with every generation providing at least one son during war and peace. His father volunteered to serve in Europe during World War One, earning an almost infamous reputation as a no nonsense soldier. He was a man who seemed to enjoy the war, leading him to volunteer for the expedition to Russia. After the American forces were drawn out, Luke's father tried to settle down in England with one of the nurses who he had started a relationship with during the Great War. The post-war years were very difficult for the couple, so they returned to the States, returning to the family home outside of New York.
Growing up in the shadow of his family's exploits, Luke was destined to follow suit after completing his education, a decision which saw him meeting his newly-wed, Frances née Noonan. He joined the army straight after Pearl Harbour, instead of seeing through his doctorate in English to the end. Marrying Frances on the eve of his departure, Luke is expecting to return home to his parents, wife, and a child to call his own.
He and his soldiers are some of the best recruits in 2nd Company, a decision made by their CO out of pride and prestige rather than any actual tactical role. They were to be the vanguard of the Captain's political rise through the ranks, the heads of every parade and the medal-winners of the regiment. Such a goal meant that in preparation for their departure to Europe every man had seen almost half-again as much training as the next man. They had given up almost the entirety of their leave for their CO, creating a strong bond between them that most hoped would see more of them through to the other end.

You'll need to either get the Snipers perk or remove the scoped Springfields (I'm assuming you have 4 of them, one each in 4 squads of 11). Otherwise this is good.

Yup, you were in the last Soviet version, figured I have better luck with an American one sponsored by the CAS Region which regularly has fun RPs open to both members and non-members alike (shameless promotion required of me by my Chairman XD).
