Civil War: 23rd Regiment of the Damned - Day 1, 03:00
« on: January 07, 2015, 05:00:12 am »

The Civil War was raging across the South like a wildfire, brother killed brother and father killed son as the war tore the nation apart between the Union and the Confederate States who refused to change their way of life. The first signs of what was happening came from witnesses from throughout the nation, terrified and half-mad they spoke of walking corpses that devoured living flesh and they were simply brushed aside and locked away or put down for we assumed they were insane. Boy were we proven wrong, what happened in St. Louis proved the supposed madmen right as the dead rose from graves, walked out of the forests and hills, and fell upon the city where Captain Lyon lead his mean in a valiant last stand against these foul creatures.Their stand gave many of the citizens time to flee, but Lyon and his company where slaughtered to a man holding the line against the seemingly endless horde.

From there it only went downhill as more of these attacks began overrunning cities and towns all over the North and the South, before long both the Union and the Confederacy found themselves confined to far less land than they once had as they failed over and over to rebel these monsters. Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Charleston, Cleveland, and the surrounding towns became bastions of humanity where the armies of the dead could not reach for the defenders were to many in such confined areas but even when over half of the land of the United States was lost to those monsters the South continued its war of independence

 Even now as I'm telling you this Colonel Jacob is taking the 11th Infantry to meet Union forces who have came North looking for a fight, even in dark times humanity seems to rely on the greed in their hearts. Any who the reason I've brought you here is to give you command, you are going to be the leader of the 23rd Safeguard Regiment, the so called Damned who fight to keep our lands safe and I'm passing this command to you because I reckon I'ma go with Jacob and strike the South. This war is gotta end son so we can fight the true enemy, and I need you to keep our lands safe while we march to bring peace between the South and the North lets just hope we weren't too slow in acting  ...

----------

Now that I've got the intro done I think its time for a bit of explanation. This is Civil War: 23rd Regiment of the Damned, its a tactical game that will be played out on a hex-based map wherein you guys, the players, are tasked with defending the bastions of the living from the hordes of the undead raised against you. Each player will take control of their own officer, and one company of the 23rd Safeguard Regiment (which are called the Damned Regiments by the general populace) with which to carry out that mission.

The game will be carried out in Days which will also then be broken down into rounds which are unspecified amounts of time wherein you move your units about, build structures, and battle the enemy. At the end of every day (also counts as the beginning of the next) your force gains supplies, and requisition for whatever feats they achieved during the precious day. Your main objective (and the most important) is to prevent any of the undead from reaching the exit zone leading deeper into the lands of the North where they can prey on the general populace. However, as days progress you may be given optional missions like rescuing elements of a defeated regiment that has been waylaid by the undead, or escorting a VIP towards the front line, and so on which the completion of will grant anything from equipment to units to requisition points.

I will be accepting six players to start with, and any additional sign-ups will be put on a waitlist to be put in charge whenever one of the player officers die.

My bad, the sign-up should say choose which company you command so you get the entire cavalry company.

Edit: Fixed that mistake, sorry again.

Officer name: Cardan Abart
Officer backstory: Cardan grew up the middle child of a middle class family, he's not as smart as his older sister or as charismatic as his younger brother but throughout his childhood he excelled at sports a talent matched only by his ability to get himself into trouble.

After graduation it was clear that family life was not for him and that a quiet civilian life would drive him insane so he applied for the army to be rejected for problems with authority and redirected to the safeguard regiments where his ability to cause problems could be directed into a productive purpose.

Years later Cardan commands his own unit and has a modest reputation for being almost as big a pain in commands backside as he is in the enemies, a trait he uses to annoy command into giving his regiment the kit they need in a timely manner lest he be sent to make his particular brand of complaint.

Officer Trait: Well Connected.

Company: Command Company.


(( Does the term " unit " in the officer trait Ready, Aim, FIRE!!! mean each individual soldier or does it mean a platoon? ))

Officer Name: Jacob McKinzee

Officer Backstory: Jacob grew up mostly on the streets, as his parents were too busy to look after him. As a result, he tends to be a bit combative, but loyal to those who have earned it. Consequently, this can also make him a bit of a problem for those he doesn't trust.

Officer Trait: Ready, Aim, FIRE!

Unit: 1st Infanty Company: The 1st was recruited out of Philadelphia not long ago. They were trained, and armed enroute to this area leaving their skill and actual experience lacking. They make up for that with an unending bravery and complete dedication to the cause.
    - 1st Infantry Platoon (Henry Delavant) [HP: 6, Armor: 0, Experience: Green, Equipment: 1853 Enfields, Traits: Brave]
    - 2nd Infantry Platoon (Roger McCoy) [HP: 6, Armor: 0, Experience: Green, Equipment: 1853 Enfields, Traits: Brave]
    - Field Engineer Platoon (Hank. Just Hank.) [HP: 4, Armor: 0, Experience: Green, Equipment: 1853 Enfields, Traits: Brave, Field Engineer]

It means a platoon, the only individual units tracked are the officer, and each separate heavy gun such as the howitzer for my own sanity and to ease my workload a bit.

Still waiting for mastahcheese to choose since he did show interest, and ask for a reserved spot when I was making the game and gave some input on its creation, but we're pretty much ready. I'm making the map now, so I'll try to get it started today.
