SELTSAME INSEL

Somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean is a large island that doesn't officially exist. It has very powerful magic qualities that make it a strategic resource. Because of the magic tearing at the very fabric of reality, the island only exists part time in our reality. Every two weeks or so it returns to a pocket dimension for a couple days and then returns.

In the Mid 1920s Germany found and settled this new land. In the 1930s Hitler began to pour troops into it, build defenses, and eventually moved there himself. Now it is 1944 and the Americans are about to take a swing at the Island to purge the Nazi threat. Will they succeed or will the Nazis win the day and the island? Only you can decide.

Spoiler: What be this? (click to show/hide)

This will be a World War 2 themed game on a mysterious and magical island that randomly appeared in the middle of the  Atlantic ocean. It's Nazis versus Americans (with others (hopefully) to be added at a later date) with a semi-magical twist.

The players can choose to be either the Nazis or the Americans. Equipment and storyline is based off of this decision.

Spoiler: Mechanics (click to show/hide)

Combat is run off two d6, one for the enemy and one for the player, with the usual system of:
1= Catastrophic Failure/Instadeath(Only when rolling against the enemy and the enemy gets a 5 or more)
2= Failure
3= Minor Failure
4= Minor Success
5= Success
6= Overshoot

I will use chunky salsa for the health system.

The game will use funds for everything: Ammo, guns, armor, vehicles, extraneous equipment, etc. The players will (collectively) start out with several thousand credits and every couple of missions/days they gain another couple thousand. Any use of ammo or expendables spends credits. If weapons/armor are damaged or lost, they can be replaced at the cost of credits. At the beginning of a mission, the players may choose how many funds go into the mission for ammo and equipment.

Once every two weeks, the island will disappear from the current reality for three days and the magical effects will increase in power. During this time, the players will not get any funds from completing missions, but will get the usual pay after the island returns to existence.

Turns are split into two Major Actions(Move to cover, shoot, throw a 'nade, reload) and an infinite number of Minor Actions(Talking, observing,
and anything else not particularly roll worthy)

(Two question, how does the BAR have a 6 turn usage of its ammo capacity when the standard capacity is 20 rounds, lol what are we just burst firing 3 bullets from a automatic gun?; Also isn't the special rule with the M1 Garand is that you have to waste all of its 8 bullets before you are able reload it?)

[Sosoku234]

I see your point about the BAR and will fix that. I did it thinking it would increase the amount of time one could actually use it in a fight.

And, yeah now that I think about the M1, it probably does need to be shot dry. So I'll change the wording on it to reflect the change.

[S34N1C]

Changed my first skill

When I get two more, I start. There is no waitlist until the end of the first invasion.

I like the Efficient skill, but just know that it doesn't apply to your bazooka.

[Enemy post]

What if it's only 1 turn before reloading?

Also, I just now noticed I gave a German efficiency powers.

[Sosoku234]

Well, the thing needs to be reloaded after every shot. At the time I'm not sure if they'd have had the ability to make a shoulder mounted rocket launcher that could shoot more than one rocket per reload.

[Enemy post]

Alright. I'll keep the original version then.
