As the Norwegian infantrymen drew closer, the gunner on the AT piece took aim at the approaching vehicle. Before he could fire, the tank suddenly accelerated, crashing into a tree only twenty feet away from their position. The officer instinctively ducked as the tree splintered in half, before drawing the FN pistol on his hip. As the first Norwegian vaulted over the sandbags, Mihkkal put a round in his chest, and one between his eyes. The cracks of rifle fire off to his right ended the other two.

The lieutenant stared at the killing field in front of him, the mangled and charred Norwegian bodies. After a few seconds, he stooped down, picking up his long-forgotten binoculars, and scanned the horizon. Once he was certain that they'd destroyed the entire attack wave, he turned to the gunner. "Discharge that gun. Unsafe to keep it loaded with no enemies around."

He stowed his binoculars, and his pistol, back in their respective places, before strolling over to the infantrymen in the nearby bunker. He nudges Wahlström. "Remind me to put in a commendation for that anti-tank man of yours when we get back."

the battle was won, we had killed all of the Norwegians charging at our position, this battle was not a test of skill but of resolve.

"You mean Elias? Sure thing, boys led me a shovel, better get to burying the poor bastards."

This is very awkward for me to announce as the game has only recently been started, but I don't know if I can keep being the GM for this forum game. I came into this thinking it would be a good taste of what's to come if I decide to do GM for more stuff, but I think I bit off a little more than I could chew. I got carried away with how I designed the mechanics and ended up making them much too complicated to the point where conjuring up posts felt like an absolute slog, and that's not good for any GM. As well, I was having a very difficult time focusing on creating the maps, changing them, writing up the turns, rolling, etc. to the point where it reinforced my belief that I have ADD. I would go to imgur in an attempt to post maps, or something, but end up browsing it for about 30 minutes before realizing what I was supposed to be doing, or I'd be in the middle of making a map and I'd just end up staring at the screen for a while as I thought about something else. Overall, I've been a bit discomforted by GMing this that I get kinda worried when I don't, say, post quickly enough for you guys or that I mess something up in a post. Perhaps if I can decomplicate the mechanics to the point where it doesn't upset me this much, I'll start this back up, but for now I'm going to have to call it quits. Thank you all for sticking around and participating. Seeing the 6 "Yes " poll votes and numerous "PTW" comments and the multiple interested participants gave me a confidence boost ("Hey! People actually want to play my game !"). Again, thank you so much for participating! If someone more stronk than I would like to GM this, I've got no problem with that, but I'm going to have to back out of this. Sorry if I disappoint anyone.

tl;dr GMed this so I could get a taste of being a gamemaster, bit off more than I could chew.

P.S. I loved reading all the RP you guys put up.

First of all I got to say you have been doing a good so far. As for your concerns, you shouldn't be worried about not putting up updates quickly. Me and probably many other here would be fine with slower paced updates. I think you could continue on with this game at a slower, more comfortable pace, but if there are other stressors in your life or this game, then I completely understand if you can not keep GMing.
