Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Robert McKinley
Description: McKinley was about ten years old when WWI ended, and his brother returned with innumerable stories of gore and glory. Robert desired to fight for his country in the same way. There was, however, no immediate war in which he could partake. He considered himself to be one of the few to hate the Roaring Twenties. They were a time when the people wallowed in extravagance and purposely forgot the horrors, but also the sacrifices and heroism of the great war. And then came the depression. He found himself liking the depression, though of course, he didn't admit that. Mainly because it seemed like fitting retribution for the excess of the previous years. it might have also had to do with the fact that he managed to retain his job and keep up a standard of living. In any case, 1939 was a year almost of rejoicing, and after he had settled his affairs, he signed up for the battle which he had lusted for.
He's a tall, blondish man who fancies himself to have a certain rakish look. His eyes are deep set under a heavy brow, but full of disturbing light. Call him Bob.

So...guys, did many of you miss the requisition//+1 skill/stat point?
Some sheets are messy that it combines the Helmet bonus and a Life bonus so it's unsure if you put that stat in Life. :v
STAT point bonuses are permanent, while they're affected per mission, replenish to its 'base' level, including permanent bonuses after mission.

...Update your sheets guys. Piecewise won't do it for you, and honesty per player is a great skill. :3

The name after the name, is the equipment class listed in the OP for better and quicker viewing instead of assumed terms like 'shotgunner'.

Everyone wants to be DPS...

Eeey, I wanted Medic, and I got medic
But then the lack of support classes scare me ._. I aimed for support classes because in my whole gaming experience--it's rarely picked for some reason.

Now I want to shift OR requisition a radio so NOBODY ELSE will worry for one
Actually that helps since I'm a sniper and a sniper buddy/buddy rifleman can do the calls while I commit to overwatch on the area.
Actually HUMPH FINE LET'S DO THAT. :I

I'ma grump at this, but support units forever!

Edit: I love that I asked my military buddy from Argentina about stuff and he was very ♥

We seriously need support classes >_>

@Tiruin honestly, it all depends on what you are, it seems a sniper
Tiruin - Today at 4:57 PM
Yes
Meunahlux - Today at 4:57 PM
i'd advice staying in cover for obvious reasons. cover saves lives, especially in WW2
Tiruin - Today at 4:57 PM
But we're in a covert mission trying to save kids
Meunahlux - Today at 4:57 PM
if its day time, be careful with your scope, it GLINTS and the reflection from the sun can give away your position
Tiruin - Today at 4:57 PM
Also I'm planning to divide us into fire teams and split the group; I'll snipe/cover/distract while they infiltrate
Also we seriously need a support radio officer
:v

no but rly i don't think i'd be able to attend enough eve if its play by post, since i'm starting cav. school VERY soon
Tiruin - Today at 4:58 PM
 
okay
Thanks though u-u
I'd LOVE others in there though
Meunahlux - Today at 4:58 PM
between dad, school, the academy and the fact my arm nearly got broken during an entrenchment stupidity im a bit AWOL
Tiruin - Today at 4:58 PM
Since we're stuffing in our troop transport and hopefully we won't die on the way
:x
hugs hugs
Meunahlux - Today at 4:59 PM
i'll continue delivering advice, keep an eye on the thread and advice
but rly, keep your scope off if you aren't sniping
it'll hinder close quarters, give away your position
keep the scope clean, keep in cover, make sure you don't point the gun at something you don't want to blow the head off
however, there's some actual serious advice i can give, miss sniper lady
german stielhands had ONE massive flaw in ww2.
if you shot them right in the stickhead, they blew up
Meunahlux - Today at 5:00 PM
if you have a group of germans at a reasonable distance, and you need the gone, late war grenades had that flaw
shoot em in the potato masher and the germans will become puré
Tiruin - Today at 5:00 PM
gotcha :3
Meunahlux - Today at 5:00 PM
also, don't be afraid to randomly shoot if you have the ammo
few things terrify the average soldier as unfound sniper fire
even if its missing
Tiruin - Today at 5:01 PM
yes
Meunahlux - Today at 5:01 PM
supressive fire, especially from a sniper, has significant intimidation faction
you usually, at least here, are trained to assume snipers are killing machines that will eat your babies
if they miss the first shot, they won't miss the second.
Tiruin - Today at 5:01 PM
I've got 5 ammo per cartridge and I'm all okay with all these OTHER DPS FOCUSED PEOPLE AROUND ME who won't go support
Meunahlux - Today at 5:01 PM
sorry b, i rly can't support you otherwise i'd be westpoint radio buddy
another thing
SHOOT THE GUYS WITH THE CAPS
SHOOT THE GUYS WITH THE CAPS
99% OF THE TIME, A GUY WITH A CAP ON IS A NCOIC OR A CO
IF THEY AREN'T, THEY'RE A FIRE TEAM'S CORPORAL
THOSE GUYS LEAD.
Tiruin - Today at 5:03 PM
gotcha ♥
Meunahlux - Today at 5:04 PM
as a sniper, you will also naturally want a elevated position
easy to pop people and all
if you go for it, leave a booby trap behind you and warn others you put it there
germans were known for either
A) storming sniper nests
B) just shooting a tiger cannon at it
i can't help you with B, unless you do some Sniper Elite shit and shoot the tiger in the fuel cap
if there's literally nothing to do
you have a tiger aiming at you
try and get the fuel cap.
if not. pray.
Tiruin - Today at 5:05 PM
Do ya mind if I copy paste bits of our chat into the game as a humor moment? :3
Meunahlux - Today at 5:05 PM
not at all
hi bay. i lurk and i'm a CO in training for argentina
Meunahlux - Today at 5:06 PM
but seriously, keep in cover
Tiruin - Today at 5:08 PM
Ooh, I know that I've read a lot on historical detail, and I love how Europe grew a lot (in the positive side) from what had happened
Meunahlux - Today at 5:08 PM
also, don't be afraid to retreat into a much more advantageous position
nobody wants to fight jerry in an open field when you're outnumbered three to one
also, climb trees
humans are pretty much used to not having to look up for trouble
down and forwards? yes.
Tiruin - Today at 5:09 PM
Yep, studied that in Psychology [not in my studies but in the library while I was bored]
Meunahlux - Today at 5:09 PM
additionally, baiting the enemy onto a position where you have tehm in enfilade is obviously wanted
so like
platoons usually advance in wedge formation or line
depending on how they advance
you want to line em up, and knock them down
Tiruin - Today at 5:09 PM
It's not going to be that complex, piecewise plays it simple
Meunahlux - Today at 5:09 PM
flanking works fine here
Tiruin - Today at 5:09 PM
But woo, data \o/
Meunahlux - Today at 5:09 PM
o
still, its probably worth keeping in mind for an ambush
always try and wait for your enemy to line up before shooting if possible
that way, you can fire a second shot without having to aim- or if you're lucky, two for the price of one!
Tiruin - Today at 5:10 PM
Not going to happen in this mission
We've probably saving kids x3
Meunahlux - Today at 5:10 PM
yeah, i can see but who knows
Tiruin - Today at 5:10 PM

Meunahlux - Today at 5:10 PM
if you get confronted by a opel blitz as reinforcements
shoot it in the front engine grill
it won't blow up spectacularly
but odds are it'll stop and buy you time since they'll have to walk
Tiruin - Today at 5:10 PM
Hopefully I can roll good enough to do that :V
And I love how you name their APCs and half tracks and otherwise by their names
Meunahlux - Today at 5:11 PM
its not a small target tbh
however, if a HANOMAG comes over
Tiruin - Today at 5:11 PM
Yeah, I blame me playing Mud&Blood2 and winning a ton too much for that
Meunahlux - Today at 5:11 PM
in that i can't help.
hanomags are there to make your life hard as infantry
either run and ambush it with a grenade down the open top, or just.. blow it up with a bazooka, or something
the most likely enemy reinforcements on the western front are those two, for APCs
just hope a 2-2-2 doesn't come over
you remember that gun in mud and blood two?
comes from the sides, shoot your guys up and pulls back?
with the explosive cannon?
its just as devastating irl as you'd expect.
that thing warrants a bazoka or a AT charge since you can't snipe it
also im stupid :smile:
if you see an opel
just shoot the driver
not sure why i said the grile
Tiruin - Today at 5:12 PM
Yep
Meunahlux - Today at 5:13 PM
might be a better target or a wiser one in certain regards
latewar opels had armored glass
anyways, that's my lesson so far
Tiruin - Today at 5:13 PM
I actually have no idea what year it is, so I'm requisitioning items that are probably late-war
Meunahlux - Today at 5:13 PM
godspeed, tiruin
Tiruin - Today at 5:13 PM
Thanks
Tiruin - Today at 5:13 PM
Thanks :smile:
Meunahlux - Today at 5:13 PM
i mean
you're american, or any variant of allied right?
given how a bit ago, people were dying on d-day..
you're likely somewhere in the timespan of operation overlord
Meunahlux - Today at 5:15 PM
so, yeah, you're probably in overlord
slightly post D-DAY
maybe 10 of june or so from looking at the posts
Tiruin - Today at 5:15 PM
Year?
Meunahlux - Today at 5:15 PM
10 of june, 1944 would be my ballpark
Exotic Melee: Used for rarer melee weapons, like officer’s swords or sharpened shovels.
>sharpene shovels is not standard issue

Tiruin - Today at 5:17 PM
Hmm? Wait yay, that means I can requisition items at that time \o/
Meunahlux - Today at 5:17 PM
sharpened shovels were silly common
especially during d-day since troops were told to prepare in everyway
not much ELSE to do while waiting to drop in or wait for the boats to actually say "get on, lets go invade frace"
germans, save for air raids, were also bored out of their minds
Tiruin - Today at 5:18 PM
Yeah, they had to wait a few days before embarking, but we're doing it for fun-history.
Thanks @Meunahlux :3
Meunahlux - Today at 5:20 PM
 
also, i make no promises of this
but i might consider joining in the future, perhaps if i get a bit better schedule wise and its running
reading it made me remember i have an itch for WW2RP

[Egan_BW]

Sniper classes usually don't qualify as support.

[Tiruin]

Sniper classes usually don't qualify as support.

My backstory dude I was trained as a medic but took up sniper equipment set.
But I'd really prefer someone else take a radio so I don't have to spend my requisition on it.

I plan to [Trap] use grenades as trapping my location with a spotter/helper to snipe whomever guards are left, take some focus out of our position while moving to a different area to get our infiltrators in the zone. Then we rendezvous with a vehicle, which pretty much has focus on short-ranged crews.

If anyone wishes, I can draft up a battle plan for us, separation in teams and all.

Piecewise: Can we change our starting gear class in between mission to mission?

[Ozarck]

I am applying, and applying for the mission, if that is still open.

I like Tiruin's suggestion of the Delisle carbine.  Could I requisition it with a low power scope, making it use heavy rifle, like the Gewehr?  Or would that be two different reqs?  Or would it be impossible to make it use heavy rifle, due to the Delisle being relatively light?

If it would be heavy rifle with a scope, and wouldn't require two reqs, I'll requisition one.  Otherwise, I'll requisition a scope and attach it to the Gewehr to make it use heavy rifle.  Also, I'm upping camouflage to +3.

((@Tir
Nobody is a commander because the commander class is the second worst behind engineer, and giving leadership based upon class selection is a poor idea at best anyway.  If anyone's our field commander, it's you.  Req a flare if you want to be proper about it.

I don't see why everyone hates radioman, though.  I'd think being able to scream at our commander NPCs would be as appreciated as having two grenades and extra ammo.))

((Well I'm grabbing a radio anyway Just so that someone else can grab another class equipment and doesn't have to be bothered. I'll live! Hopefully!
Although I've no idea how flares are used in...covert missions like these. Most of my info is reinforced by talking to a good friend of a good friend: See spoiler about Argentina officer up there ))

The plan I was thinking [if we all live and drop out well thanks to good rolls], was splitting the group up into Infiltrator and Sniper teams; just two of them for that manner. The Infiltrator group (probably has people good with Demolitions + Language [for the kids]) focuses on short/med ranged weaponry, and literally all those Trench Clearing classes. They're the group that gets the kids, hijacks vehicles, and is responsible for getting us OUT. The Sniper group (probably with me as the radio ops?) goes alongside a hill or somewhere that oversees the area, snipes the guards/traps the ground near them, and diverts attention or provides cover fire. That group moves to a point where we can rendezvous with whomever steals vehicles, else they provide a way back into the forests for future missions as a plan B.

[milo christiansen]

The De Lisle carbine is .45 APC, same as the m1911. Also it was known as being not very accurate. Pistol ammo + low accuracy = something you probably shouldn't put a scope on.

Everyone wants to be DPS...

I'll remember that when your DPS ass gets shot (which you really should hurry up and do, Smith is getting bored)
