How does leveling up work again?

[Ozarck]

First two options look rather limited in terms of who can really be active - both look like pilot-oriented options. what roles would the rest of us realistically be taking in those?

[piecewise]

Oh goodie a strawpoll. Those always work out so well.

Question: do we get any glory GLORY despite botching this thing up?

Ah, yes, would be a good thing to remind everyone about.

Post what ya did and I'll give ya GLORY so you can level up. I'm gonna give everyone 50 basic GLORY because you guys managed to not get killed and Kept Bone from dying. Any good specific actions will get the individual character more.

How does leveling up work again?

It's in the OP under "GLORY".

Basically, you spend GLORY to get bonuses, either stat based or various medals/bonuses or custom equipment.

Ed exploded some Nazis. That's about all the useful he was this mission, really.

My glorious and indispensable achievements:
- Located Nazi's, when captured screamed like a little girl deployed sonic defense measures and probably gave a bunch of them tinnitus.
- Provided light music accompaniment.
- Win TONS of cigs in poker (can I trade for anything with these?)
- Ran around informing people like some sort of errand boy.

GLORY PLEASE

[Strider03]

Was a little worried about Bob's lack of GLORIOUS accomplishments in this, but looking over this, that seems to have been the case for a couple others too. Bob did the following: Split off from the main group and went to find the radio room, then opened it with a Crowbar. Located General Bone in the room, circumventing traps (there was a hidden roll, I think?). He also did some boring translating of the voices on the radio, maybe our guys will figure out what those mean at some point. So. . . yeah, nothing particularly GLORY-worthy.

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.
