Looks awesome. Officer Conrad Kamin, voting for NGR. I'll apply for generalship, 'cause what the hell.

What's your player cap going to be?

I tend to not have one.
You monster.

I'll be a tankman, with a vote for the East Germans.

Mind if I ask what and where this Men of War thingy is?

I would ask why fire can burn two men to death without getting hot enough to burn a book, but then I read "INEXTINGUISHABLE RUNNING KAMIKAZE RADIOACTIVE FLAMING ZOMBIE" and realized that logic, reason, and physics are all occupied with crying in the corner right now.

Alright, the faction we'll be playing as is the New German Republic. I'll just transfer your extant characters over into the NGR list, unless you want to change your class or something.

I'll be a tankman, with a vote for the East Germans.

Mind if I ask what and where this Men of War thingy is?

Men of War:RTSxFPS game that takes place during World War II. Pretty good RTS, the FPS is sub-par (although driving around tanks is pretty badass).

I'll generate up the first map, then we'll get to rolling.

Alright, map is ready.



Mission 1

General is (kamin)Conrad Kamin.

Your task is to fortify this farm, and destroy an enemy convoy that will be passing through the area soon.

Officers have been given 'requisition' so they can choose what to bring into battle, standard officers get 100 and generals get 400 for this mission.

Shopping list

Choose what you want.

Transport
Opel Blitz 3.6 : 10R

SdKfz 251: 25R
      -Commander class: 50R (has a radio)

Infantry:
Standard squad: 50R
Extra Specialties (medics, flamethrowers, elite units): 25 a fireteam

Defense
Engineers (make sandbags, hedgehogs, lay mines, etc): 50
Supply truck (ammunition): 50
Mine truck (contains a good deal of land mines): 100

Artillery

(deployed) Mg42's: 10R
Mortars: 20R
Pak35: 30R
Pak 40: 50R

Combat Vehicles
Open to requests. Panzers, Tigers, go crazy, but good tanks aren't cheap.

One time abilities

What will the infantrymen (which includes me) do for actions?

Once the officers choose what they take onto the map, you'll be free to take your positions, and prepare to ambush an allied convoy. As infantry though, you'd be best off taking orders from an officer, so you aren't running into battle alone, otherwise you'll probably get snipered.

Yep. You could put a man on top of it. He's screwed if someone sees him, though.

The simulator's only got production models... mostly. The heaviest NGR armoured vehicle will be the Jagdtiger, or the Tiger II if you're a tank person.

However, I do have some fancy vehicles up my sleeves for later missions. Those'll be fun.
