It is raining.  The sound of machine guns roar with greater ferocity than they have for the past few days.  Artillery has begun bombarding in greater numbers than it has for more than a week.  The enemy is coming in numbers.  The commander has ordered you to hold the line, or die trying.

(Each player fills out the above sheet.  Survivors of this forum game will be exported to another.  Each character will get a random assortment of supplies when a sheet is sent in which will determine the actions they can perform.  Unfilled locations will have faceless NPCs until someone puts a sheet up.  If you completely run out of characters, you can make a new sheet, but not until then.  Kindly do not deliberately get your last guy killed for the sake of a reset. Edit: Actually, you can pick up a new guy every time one of yours dies.  Simpler that way.)

Don't have time to list equipment right now, but will in a bit.  Going to see if we can get five or six before kicking off the main turn, so the PC-NPC ratio is a tad less extreme.

Count me in.

I would prefer if you have all your guys starting in the same location, to both represent them all being a part of the same squad and so it can be seen just how far they end up from each other after starting from the same position.
