I'm the same, except I'm not actually a rifleman. I don't have a rifle at all, in fact. Also not a man. I fly planes. Still enthusiastic about not getting shot with my feet on the ground, hence the hiding in some house till the mission's over and I hopefully get to fly a plane again.

[Redjive_Industries]

Best way to fight, really. Unfortunately both I and Toby wear glasses, so he wouldn't be a sniper 
With a bit of tweaking I can re-purpose him as an AT specialist or a non-combat class if any of the current players desire.

[Redjive_Industries]

All of the above? (just kidding only three of them!)

Spoiler: Rifleman Parrish (click to show/hide)

Name:Tobeis ‘Toby’ Parrish, 20

Physical and Mental Description: Brown, almost black hair, exceptionally blue eyes, white skin, and numerous scratches. Wears glasses (which have as yet managed to survive without breaking) although he can see fairly well within about 50 meters.  Pragmatic in combat, doesn't believe in fighting honorably, and very rarely ever stops moving, except to make a shot or pretend to listen to a superior officer. Has an amazing lack of respect for officers over the rank of 1st Lt. (unless they're serving on the front with him.) Prefers to use his bayonet instead of his pistol for close range, because the bayonet doesn't jam. Would rather hide in the mud than take his chances running for a better hiding place. Assigned to the 888th for assaulting a superior officer ("No, he inadvertently ran into my buttstock just before he could suggest a glorious charge towards a fortified position, clumsy sod"), shooting 3 prisoners whilst on a mission behind enemy lines ("What was I supposed to do, it was a behind-enemy-lines mission, and besides, those SS bastards had it coming to them") and failing to maintain a clean and orderly appearance during an award ceremony ("I guess 3rd strikes out, whoops, can't be any worse than have to serve under this idiot guess you'll have to transfer me to a different regiment.")

((Fun stuff, Piece allows anything within bounds of reason. And this reason doesn't include preventing people who want to enlist, going to enlist. I mean look at me. ))

"The hell was that?" Bob muttered at the sound of explosions. A little concerned, he broadcasted over the radio: "You alright over there? Heard some explosions."

Tala gave the situation while speaking to Radioman. (Basically, ambushing a convoy that went through a tunnel, after noticing the storm seemingly stopped over the bunker-fortress)

"-ambushed a convoy probably using the storm as cover. We fear that those...ship-Nazis are present and may be aware of us now. Over."

Everything grows silent save for the patter of rain and the constant thunder.

"We need someone to survey the convoy now, but we need to provide cover and shift our position. I'm really wary of those psychic-dream Nazis or however Winston described them. We do not know how they detect us unlike conventional warfare. Does anyone want to volunteer? I cannot myself because of my speed."

[syvarris]

Simon lays stunned on the ground where he fell, smiling up at the rainclouds.  After a few seconds he reaches up to feel his now-unprotected head, and chuckles to himself.  "Aheheh, damn, had that helmet since the suicide mission... hehe..."

Roll over and start crawling away from the remaining building, back to the forest...  Simon's just going to retrace his path back to base, because that is sadly the wise thing to do.  Much as I want to go kill Nazis in the buildings to the west, there's no actual benefit to...

Wait.  Wait.  This is RTD, right?  So Simon can roll a 1d6 to drive a tank, and has at least a 50% success chance?  Was that Panzer he saw before running, implying occupants?  If not, after getting back to the forest, divert west towards the Nazis and their tank.  No better lightning protection than being ENCASED IN ARMOR PLATING!

Spoiler: Simon Smith, toastiest sniper (click to show/hide)

Description: A short and somewhat stocky man with a thick beard and a bulky gasmask.  His looks are deceptive, as he's actually quite agile.  He has six firearms chained to his back, along with an assortment of knives and a sniper rifle he's always carrying around.

Current mission accomplishments (So I don't have to go back over things later):

• Scouted out the eastern Nazi positions, has not informed anyone yet.
• Set fire to a Nazi-occupied building, which five Nazis then fled from.  Then snuck past without issue.
• Partially scouted the bunker, from the north, found three machine gun nests which have a good view of the entrance switchback, and 180° coverage otherwise.  Saw that the northern slope terminates in a 25-foot high cliff.
• Got caught near a house which was struck by machinegun lightning and detonated spectacularly.

Find stuff to build a plane. Just in this house.

This is RTD. You might just do it.
Or you'll roll a 1 and find a Nazi with a Schmeisser (MP40) who happened to be sleeping in that house.

[Ozarck]

To Bob, over the Radio: "Sure, sure ... you do that. I ... I think we need a minute over here. Something happened. Not sure what, but ... I think  ... I think everything went according to plan. Does that actually happen?

Since Radio is taking point on inspecting the wreckage, Ed will keep an eye out along the intersecting roads for Nazi reinforcements.

Question: How many of Ed's 3 satchel charges did this attack expend?

Finally, Ed will organize the group into squads for searching for friendlies in the area.

"Good work, gang. Excellent work. Radio, call that into base would ya? Also, if you haven't already, alert them about that squad of Nazis that Bob found earlier. Alright gang, listen up! Tala's right, we need to be about our business quickly and get moving. Keep an eye out for hostiles, and start checking this area for Friendlies. Living Friendlies! And just in case it needs saying, DO NOT KILL THE FRIENDLIES!

Tala, if you would take two people, maybe Taggart and Grouse (Random and Leodanny) down the southwest branch, I'll take Jack and Radio down the southeast branch, and we'll meet up again in the middle branch. Sound good? If you have any trouble, three loud whistles on your bird call will bring us running. One long whistle will tell us to retreat to our little bunker. If we don't see you in the middle fork, we'll do a quick sweep of where you were supposed to go before heading back to regroup and move on to the next place. You do the same if you don't find us. If I go missing, you are in charge. If you and I fall, Jack, you'll be in charge. Got it?

Spoiler: mission briefing (click to show/hide)

We've been tasked with helping clear a section of city and then to remove the "Fort du Roule", a heavily fortified hill top bunker, from the list of enemy held positions.
Its position on the hilltops above the city makes it too good of a strategic position for them to just bomb it to gravel.
Taking it won't be easy though; its got at least 5 heavily fortified firing positions and a tunnel system in the stone.
Intelligence indicates there's an entrance on the west side of the mountain, though getting to it might be harder than just getting to one of those fortified positions and blasting on through. Your call.

We're going to drop you off by boat and the local boys will bring you where you need to go. We're told they'll have a map for you but don't expect anything amazing.

This is a simple job, lads: Kill any Kraut that still has some fight in him, spare any citizen of the town, and try to keep that fort as intact as possible."  He waves his hand dismissively at that last part, but doesn't say anything more.

Welcome new guy.

I invite you to post in The OOC Thread to keep up to date on conversations regarding the game that are sort of tangential to the action. Also, if you get spawned in, find out from PW (the GM) where you are. If you are with the main group, Ed will happily put you to work. Good luck, and have fun!

She wears a grey knitted wool cap. It has ear flaps that dangle down several inches, in the style of many South American knitted hats. It is formed to look like it has cat ears, and it has two larger buttons fastened to look like the eyes. When she has her combat helmet on, the cap is worn underneath as a helmet liner.
