From what I recall from CoD:WaW, the M1 Carbine came with a 15 round box magazine, standard. In the next game, there'll be attachments, like extended magazines, which brings this up to 30. And it fires a lower powered round at roughly the same rate of fire as the Garand.
So... Yeah, it'll work for that purpose.

The budget is 3500. I may have to up it if anyone else joins in. Otherwise, I'll probably start this tomorrow morning (if possible at all). Also remember that there is a discord. Link's in the OP.

Yah about that:

Though I suppose you could do the same thing with a M1 Garand.
Also I've never used discord how is it.
Edit:
Oh and the invite apparently expired.
Apologizes if I sound condescending.

Alright. Fair enough. I went with my general knowledge of the lower spectrum of the magazine size and what Wikipedia said about the higher end.

Discord is better than anything else I had been using for the exact same purpose. It has a pretty good UI, as far as I can tell. You have dedicated servers that can have a large number of individual channels within them, as well as a voice chat system where you can jump in or opt out at your leisure while still doing everything else on discord on other channels or servers.

Much better. For now, I'll relegated this to OOC and Signups. Tomorrow, I'll start the test mission.

Note. I will try for mtiple turns a day, but my internet connection is a fickle and unreliable thing, over which I have no control. That said, there may be days, or even weeks when I can't post on a regular basis.

I'm not sure that i can guarantee that i'll manage to be that activate, but lets see what happens.

Right here the changes

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

The skills are meant to be more of a perk that distinguishes your character. See the other sheets for examples

Sigh, they always said that junk food was bad for you. I guess that leaves us with canabalism.

Add some numbers to those skills, you don't need to keep those frags in your inventory, you get a free rifle, and you should have enough to buy the 1911.
Otherwise it's perfect.

I have a radio(150), M1 carbine (750), entrenching tools(30),  so I'm kind of maxed save 70 dollars. Unless I missed some changes, if it's ok I don't think I'll take another rifle cuz authenticity (even though this is an alternate WW2).

Done.

Name: Slobodan.
State of Origin: Yugoslavia.
Appearance: Love from Sarajevo!
Backstory: Inspired by that one dude who shot that other austrian dude Slobodan joined the yugoslav volunteer regiment in the west.

Stats:
Power: 14
Tolerance: 10
Wit: 10
Knowledge: 10
Finesse: 10
Presence: 10

Skills:
Making germans rage. - Through mastery of the ancient slavic tradition of trolling the germans, Slobodan certainly can provoke those Fritzs to RAEG uncontrollably in and outside combat. (May use a free action to focus up to five enemy units of his own choosing on himself).
The Officer Corps hate this guy! This is his method... - If slavs are naturally able at pissing off the post-teutons, then Slobodan is a slav by all means, however that is not his only great ability - due to the proud tradition of assasinating important officials deeply seated in the balkan mentality Slobodan is great for those killshots directed at officers or other important figures in the enemy force. (+3 for shots targetting either officers, important officials or other high-value targets).

Inventory:
Free - Springfield 1903;
200$ - M1911;
20$ - Repair Tools;
30$ - Entrenching Tools;
Free - Bayonet.

It looks alright. Could you give a number for those skills, though?
