Ah. Whenever you awake, could you let me know how big a square is? Also, what are the green things?

[USEC_OFFICER]

Ah. Whenever you awake, could you let me know how big a square is? Also, what are the green things?

Around 10x10 metres, though I have no doubts that there will be odd scale issues. Also the green things are the U-Boat pens. They're 2x9 squares so that they can fit the supply U-Boats. The regular combat types were closer to 60 metres, if I remember correctly.

[GreatWyrmGold]

So...are the green things like the "floor" of the Pens and the blue things the water's surface, or are there swimming pools on top of the U-Boat pens, or what?

[Gamerlord]

Ptw.

So...are the green things like the "floor" of the Pens and the blue things the water's surface, or are there swimming pools on top of the U-Boat pens, or what?

Ah. The green things are the pool of the pens where the U-Boat sit, while the blue is merely open space above the pens. Does that help?

1st of July, 1940

With the ever-victorious Luftwaffe and the RAF battling over the skies of Britain, the flight to Norway is short and uneventful. After landing in Bergen you are almost unceremoniously stuffed into several Kübelwagens and driven to the base.

Several workers are still putting the finishing touches on the base as you arrive, though you can hardly complain. With the recent surrender of Norway, it's a small miracle that they managed to complete the base in time for your arrival. The previous commander of the base gives you a quick tour of the base's meager facilities (your scientific equipment having arrived just one day earlier) before jumping into a Kübelwagen and speeding off to Bergen.

Well, it's not much, but it's home.

Spoiler: Mechanics (click to show/hide)

Outside of combat, each turn takes about a month of real-world time.

Secrecy: Secrecy is a measure of how hidden your operations are. Obviously you have no idea what your secrecy is at any given moment, but you can increase your secrecy by purchasing supplies and hiring personnel as little as possible, as well as building and working underground as much as possible. Prisoners or experiments escaping, deaths and building above-ground will all decrease secrecy.

Morale: How happy your personnel are with you. Keep your experiments to prisoners, and provide facilities for their entertainment and you shouldn't have a problem. However too many deaths will decrease morale, as well as any enemy agents that have managed to infiltrate your base.

Reichsmarks and Favour Favour represents your goodwill and standing with the high party, while Reichsmarks represents your cash on hand. You use Reichsmarks and Favour (or a combination of the two) to pay for building new rooms, hiring more personnel or purchasing more goods. Using Favour instead of Reichsmarks to pay increases the secrecy of that purchase/action, since the party will be very quiet about it. Using Reichsmarks will create a paper trail which can be detected by enemy agents and therefore will decrease secrecy.

Each month you get gain a large number of Reichsmarks, to fund your scientific endeavours. Your upkeep will be automatically deducted from your funding. To gain Favour you must complete your scientific projects to the satisfaction of the party. Additionally you can also get requests from high-ranking Nazis each month. Completing these requests will also gain you Favour.

Emergency Food is used if supplies can't reach the base for whatever reason. Each unit will feed one personnel for that month. Hopefully you'll get more supplies before the food runs out.

Spoiler: Weapons (click to show/hide)

PISTOLS:

Parabellum-Pistole DMG: 5 ACC: 50% RoF: 2 CLIP: 8 9mm
COMMON WEAPON
Special: Short Ranged (5)
Lightweight
Description: The Pistole Parabellum 1908 is more commonly known as the Luger, after its designer, Georg Luger. Despite its age, the Parabellum-Pistole is still a serviceable pistol.

Walther P38 DMG: 6 ACC: 60% RoF: 2 CLIP: 8 9mm
10 for 1RM
Special: Short Ranged (5)
Lightweight
Description: While the Parabellum-Pistole is a fine weapon, it is quite complex and difficult to manufacture. Therefore the Walther P38 was designed as a cheaper yet effective alternative. Having just recently gone into production, the number of P38 circulating through the Third Reich are still quite low.

SMGS:

MP38 DMG: 6 ACC: 55% RoF: 8 CLIP: 32 9mm
3 for 1RM
Special: Rapid Fire (4)
Room Cleaner (15%)
Short Ranged (7)
Description: The Machinenpistole 38 was developed for use by Fallschirmjägers. A simplification of the earlier MP36, the MP38 is an excellent submachine gun, though it does suffer from feed failures when used incorrectly.

RIFLES:

Karabiner 98k DMG: 15 ACC: 70% RoF: 1 CLIP: 5 7.92mm
COMMON WEAPON
Special: Long Range (4)
Unwieldy (10%)
Description: Despite its name the Karabiner 98k is not a carbine, but a version of the Gewehr 98 rifle with improved sights. While heavy and with a small, 5-round magazine, the K98 has been the primary army weapon for many years, and will probably continue to do so for years to come.

Karabiner 98k Sniper Rifle DMG: 15 ACC: 90% RoF: 1 CLIP: 5 7.92mm
1 for 1RM
Special: Pin-point Accurate
Long Range (6)
Unwieldy (15%)
Scoped
Specialist Weapon
Description: An usually accurate Karabiner 98k rifle, given to a skilled machinist to attach a scope and make several minor modifications. A skilled sniper can easily use this weapon to its full potential, hitting enemies up to a kilometre away.

MACHINE GUNS:

MG34 DMG: 15 ACC: 50% RoF: 10 CLIP: 50 7.92mm
5 for 1RM
Special: Belt Fed
Rapid Fire (5)
Unwieldly (25%)
Long Reload
Cumbersome
Heavy Weapon
Description: The MG34 is possibly the finest machinegun in the world, being both light-weight and portable, but capable of sustaining withering fire when needed. Such is its ability that its forms the mainstay of the Germany army.

SHOTGUNS:

Winchester Model 1912 DMG: 20 ACC: 50% RoF: 1 CLIP: 6 20 Gauge
1 for 1RM
Special: Room Cleaner (25%)
Short Ranged (5)
Specialist Weapon
Description: The Winchester Model 1912 shotgun was used by the US military forces during WWI, to clear out enemy trenches. How it came into your hands is anyone's guess, but it definitively wasn't cheap.

FLAMETHROWERS:

Flammenwerfer 35 DMG: 15 ACC: 80% RoF: 2 CLIP: 10 Flammöl 19
1 for 1RM
Special: Fire
Burning Fuel
Limited Range (3)
Unwieldly (25%)
Long Reload
Cumbersome
Heavy Weapon
Specialist Weapon
Description: The standard flamethrower used by the German army. Capable of being carried by one man, the FmW 35 carries enough fuel for ten seconds of continuous use. More than enough time to reduce your enemies to a crisp.

GRENADES:

Stielhandgranate DMG: 20 ACC: 75% RoF: 1 CLIP: 5
COMMON WEAPON
Special: Limited Range (4)
Thrown Weapon (3)
Blast (1)
Description: The Stielhandgranate covers several models of handgrenades, with the initial design dating back to 1915. While the grenades may have changed internally, they all operate in the same way. Pull the cord to activate the fuse and throw as hard as you can! Unlike the grenades favoured by the Allies, the Stielhandgranate features a wooden handle, allowing it to be thrown much, much further.

MELEE:

Knife DMG: 10 ACC: 75% RoF: 1 CLIP: NaN
COMMON WEAPON
Special: Melee
Sneaky (20)
Description: If you don't know what a knife is, I'm surprised.

Officier's Sword DMG: 16 ACC: 75% RoF: 1 CLIP: NaN
1 for 1RM
Special: Melee
Specialist Weapon
Description: A fancy weapon, lovingly covered with gold and jewels. However the blade is still made out of excellent steel, and this sword could be quite deadly in the right hands.

ARMOUR:
Army Uniform Armour: 1
COMMON ARMOUR
Special: Military Uniform
Description: The day-to-day uniform of the German army. While the steel helmet is designed to stop shrapnel and not bullets, it does offer slightly more protection then running around without it.

NOTES:
All personnel can only carry two weapons at once, or one weapon if it has the Heavy Weapon trait. Only one type of armour may be worn. Common weapons are free except for shipping costs, since large numbers of those weapons would be easily available. Reloading takes one turn unless otherwise noted. An explanation of combat will be given when combat actually has a chance to happen.

I'm sure that did not explain anything at all. Oh well. Ask as many questions as you need, and once the first turn is complete things should go a lot smoother.

Why do garages need to be built on the surface? Couldn't we build an underground garage with a ramp traverse to the surface, as one might see in a parking garage?

Those are probably even more noticeable. I mean, an underground ramp hints at underground stuff, while a bunker + garage could be a standard outpost.

With some effort, we could disguise our ramp entrance underneath a matt of snow-covered turf, with hydraulics to push it out of the way when we want something to come in or out.

If you want to go to the trouble of designing it, you can build your hidden underground garage.

"I am just a soldier, but I think it would probably be best to make aboveground garages and maybe some kind of other facilities. Make a smokescreen, y'know, maybe some kind of fake oceanography or oceanology place or something.

[Funk]

+1 to the smoke screen base, maybe a radar base?

[Remuthra]

Or perhaps with some effort we can disguise ourselves as an Allied radar base/military outpost?
