Let's Play... Firefight! (Sean O'connor)
« on: January 21, 2011, 04:19:58 pm »

So, I found this nifty little ww2 squad-based-combat simulator, and I'm thinking of running a let's play. Something like, we run through the campaign, and everyone has a squad apiece, and tells me what they want to do with it. Sign up if you're interested, or if you want to tell me how bad of an idea this is, and how you would do it better.

Sounds like a good idea. I'm guessing you're HQ squad?

I want a heavy MG squad, please.

First, we should choose nation and time period. If we're starting from the beginning, that's January 1939, and the country options for this version are;
American, British, Canadian, French, German, Italian, and Russian.

It looks fun.  I'd like a rifle or machine-gun squad also.

Russian would be cool. ( though any would be good since I've never played it  :P )

For the Motherland! Give me command of either an anti-tank team, recon team, or other small group.

Some helpful advice, matt: when you paste into paint, crop the picture a little bit before uploading it.

Very good. So it sounds like we'll be Russia, and will do Chris. (Can you crop in imageshack, or is there a way to do that in paint?)

I really got into this after playing another one of his little gems for a while (Critical mass). Trouble is after a little practice each mission gets a bit generic and the same blitz with infantry support method works in almost all situations, and you only really die if a random artilliery strike lands on you....

(P.S ill take any role...)
