who where would play a WW2 rp

[WarBrood]

I know I would. Just want to know what you all would think of one

[Ragnarox]

I'm all for a WWII RP. As long as I'm the Russians...

Since there's only one other RP I know that is historical, I would be glad to join.

Well if I where to set up a WW2 rp It would be only quarter historical and 75% fictional. Such as this could not happen, "Hitler pulls out his twin sided lightsaber spork and stabs Stalin in the head." And on the other hand this could happen, "Hitler due to months of planning, Launches a large scale amphibious attack on the shores of Florida"

My idea on how the rp would be ran is. Each side, Russia, GB/France, USA/Canada, Germany, Italy, and Japan, each have on company (korp. in Germany) The company will me made up of every rp'er in that division. (There will be other NPC company's)

The RP would start after America joined the war. And incase none of you know what the war was like at that time, Germany help all of Europe (side from GB) and a fair slice of Russia (the line is drawn at Stalingrad, Leningrad, and Moscow) and the northern part of Africa.

The storyline behind the divisions are

Great Britain-- Most of England has been bombed from the battle of Britain, But with the end to that you start to recover. Most of your supplies are coming from over the Atlantic and it is infested with German subs and Manchester’s. People starting in this country will be planning operation overload

USA/Canada-- These people suffered the least civilian damage in this war. Americans are right ticked off at the Japanese for attacking Pearl Harbor. Canadian troops are the most skilled and the American are the most prepared, their down fall though is, Canadian troops are seriously numbered since they have been fighting since the beginning of war, and most of the American troops just got out of boot camp and have yet to fight an actual war. Americans in this fraction will be just heading toward the war to meet up with the battle hardy Canadians and also start planning operation overload

Russia-- Suffered the most since the Germans turned on them, Angry they had to resort to "scorched earth" they want revenge on the Germans. And with the winter coming along they are getting ready. But until the winter comes they get pounded due to their lack of technology, lack of guns, and their lack of guns. One thing they do not lack is troops. Having the greatest number of troops to go into the war there is a 3 to 1 soldier to gun count. People in this fraction will start in Stalingrad trying to hold off the German advance

Germany-- At their prime of the war, Troops are the most prepared. Germany ammunitions are getting made and an extremely fast rate. And Germans soldiers are excellent fighters, second only to Canadians. But with numbers Germany is the strongest fraction at the time. People in this fraction will be either attacking Stalingrad or waiting at the Atlantic wall (I have yet to decide)

Italy-- I really don’t expect that many people to join Italy so it might just become NPC. Anyways, Italy being stronger than ever lead by the fascist Mussolini. Supporting the attack on Africa they move the advance south. Their downfall is, Italians have no morals, surrendering at the sight of death. People in this fraction (if there will be) will be attacking El Alamien (spelling?)

Japan-- again I don’t expect that much of an outcome for Japan because most of its fighting is side quest in Asia so it might be NPC. Anyways Japan is finally making a name for itself with victory after victory. Japan is ruled by the military and has never been stronger. People in this fraction will either be planning to attack Russia on the pacific side or be planning battle at midway.



The way the war turns out can be sided for the Allied or the Axis. Let the rp decide. Will the Allies defeat the Third Reich? Will Hitler get his Arian race? Will Russia betray everyone and murder them in their sleep with sporks? Stay tuned to find out next episode. (Sorry had to add that)


Rules would be someone like this

-We will have to try and avoid killing other rp’s at all cost. Aka aim for the knee, or other limbs to put them out. And please not to much of this (hiding up in the third window second floor of the department store holding a sniper rifle (insert name here) aims and shoots (insert name here), (insert name here), (insert name here), (insert name here), (insert name here), (insert name here), and (insert name here), in the knees putting them all out. All though there may be exceptions to that, I really do not want to see it.

-No god moding! No you do not have the skill to always dodge bullets. And no your eyes do not shoot laser eye beams. And NO double sided lightsaber sporks.

-I want this to be serious but your allowed to have fun, such as, your not always on the front. There will be times you are in cities, towns, and ships, where it is encouraged to have a good time.

-Character stealing is a no no without permission.

-All generals are NPC, you can talk to NPC but you cannot make them plan a battle without PM me about it first.

-Sieges last more than a week, get used to it and don’t go James Bond and defeat the enemy in one post.

-If you Nuke I will nuke you out of the rp

do not take this as me saying im starting this rp.
I do not have enough experiance to gm myself.
If another good gm would like to adopt this idea for their own i highly encourage it. In fact i beg of it

[ZeroCross]

The candians? In a war? That seems a bit of a stretch. lol. Seriously, I thought the canadians were nuetral to everything.

Anyways, it sounds like you have a pretty good handle on the RP. IT would be interesting to see how it turns out.

Anyways, it sounds like you have a pretty good handle on the RP. IT would be interesting to see how it turns out.I'll have you know that we Canadians were a huge help in older wars and we defeated the Americans twice!

This first time the US tried to take over Canada (twas a while back when we weren't yet our own colony) they fought but were unprepared for a Canadian winter and retreated.

The second time is when we fought them all the way back to Washington DC and burned down there capitol building. They then painted the building white, and they called it The White House.

Fear us Canadians! Now I'm not into this RP per say, but I enjoy that you made Canadians what we should be in RPs. Right on Warbrood!

[Vhaeraun]

I would play this perhaps, if I could be Germany ;)

[kongurous]

No, the British did. True, Canada was a British colony, but Britain beat a warpath from Baltimore to Washington and burned the capital to the ground, and ZeroCross, study the history of the World Wars. Canada was involved in both of them, and kicked a lot of ass in the first one, and even took a beach at Normandy, no easy task. Anyway, I pride myself on being a World War Two buff, so I geuss I'd be interested.

[Geno]

It depends on how it's executed, who's playing, etc. If there aren't disputes before it begins, I'd think about it. And even then, it's a long shot for me...

Have you ever heard of the battle at Vimmy Ridge in WW1? No matter what the british tried the germans held them off. I was not untill Canadian strategy was used in capturing the ridge that we beat the germans out.

And in WW2 Canadians and Britains (mainly Canadians) lead the first amphibious attack on the atlantic call at the town of Dieppe, this attack gave important headway to the d-day attack. In D-day Canadians where incharge of capturing Juno beach. Needless to say we where the only ones to succusfully complette the days assinment in under 24 hours. We also had the least amount of causulties (partly because we sent the least amount of troops)

Oh i would also like to know if you guys would rather it start at the beginning of the war instead of halfway through?

[kongurous]

I'd rather start at the beginning, it would allow for some interesting story telling, and I like how the British performed early in the war, especially in the air.

[Raging-Fury]

This could be interesting ill keep my eye out, and on the topic of canadians, i have no reason to doubt their integrity or skill as combatants, i believe they even helped during desert storm and the more recent skirmishes. and there is no substitute for preparation. but like i said ill keep my eyes open

[WarBrood]

The problem with starting at the beginning is...America would not be involved, I guess this could be replaced by having France take that place. Or we could just alter history a bit and say america was involved since day one.

open to opinions here

[Ragnarox]

And in WW2 Canadians and Britains (mainly Canadians) lead the first amphibious attack on the atlantic call at the town of Dieppe

Ya...they got their arses kicked...REALLY badly, only 7 German casualties.

[WarBrood]

i dont know where you got your infomation from, but yah we did get our but kicked, but we did kill more than 7 germans

[Ragnarox]

but we did kill more than 7 germans

The Canadian beach landing only killed 7 germans on the lines and injured two. However the two sea-bombardment guns that were attacked by British Special Forces did suffer casualties. I think the English killed like...some where in the low double digit numbers. The massive naval and air bombardment caused an amount of casualties that I don't know.

Although, if you can, prove me wrong, I would like to know that the Allies kicked a few more butts in that battle.

[WarBrood]

German casualties are put at 591.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/august/19/newsid_3560000/3560309.stm
The experience gained was used extensively on D-Day, 6 June 1944, and the Admiral of the Fleet, Lord Mountbatten, said, "For every soldier who died at Dieppe, ten were saved on D-Day."

Doesn't mean people can't Rp as Americans before they joined the war. It would be preatty interesting to express the thoughts of the country before joining the war, maybe even have some Rpers set at Pearl Harbor. Heck you could even have some one play FDR, now that would kick ass. But they would have to know their WWII history preatty well.

[WarBrood]

The problem with that calibur is america sat idle for a long time...thats the point i tried to get accross. If we where to start from the beginning we would have to wait till half way through the rp for americans to join...then again if i remember my histroy right, russia wasnt involved from the begining either. If we where to start from the beginning everyone wanting instant action would have to be in, Britian, France, Germany, Italy, or Japan. Or another idea is we could start the rp off in the spanish civil war... for all you that dont know history well, the spanish war basicly foreshadowed the entire WW2 that came very soon after

[Ragnarox]

German casualties are put at 591.

Note: I said that the Beach Landing only killed 7 Germans. However, I did get my numbers off on the total casualties so I apologise for my miscalculation.

Acctually, you could only fight in China if you were to start at the very begining of the Second World War. The Second World War really started in *looks for history textbook* 1937...I think (can't find history textbook), when Japan invaded Manchuria.

[WarBrood]

Spanish civil war was before that

[Ragnarox]

Spanish civil war was before that

Acctually, I just checked on Google and found that Japan invaded Manchuria in 1931, not 1937 so that was the spark of the Second World War.

[Nickodemus]

Umm nope. cant see this going much farther than a pipe dream really, but please prove me wrong. I would love to see it.

[WarBrood]

well your right about that, but that wasnt the spark of the Second World War, because it wasnt really a invasion as much as it was just annexation. Manchuria put up little to no resistance against Japan so no fighting occured. The league of nations didnt do anything about it

[kongurous]

Manchuria couldn't fight Japan. Both China and Japan were technologically behind in most respects, and China was in civil war at the time. Oh, and America was involved in the beginning. Americans flew with Britain's Eagle Squadron, a squadron made up of American flyers.

[singo]

A WWII rp?

*Grabs lee-enfield and heads for the front*


(That means yes by the way)

[Geno]

If you'll take note of what I said earlier in the thread, this arguing about "What happened" is what kills any kind of historic RP's. You have to find your stories that are exact to the very littlest detail, or you're screwed. Get all the actual facts together, and make sure they're perfect. *Then* try and release the RP.

[singo]

Of course you can always play the "alternate universe" card, but that's a bit cheesey

[WarBrood]

By all means you are right Geno...but we are not talking about how the rp will go, because if everything goes right this WW2 rp will be totaly different than the actualy WW2...like perhaps Hitler wont commit suicide, none the less we are just struting our knowledge of ww2. and as to Kongurous, the eagle squadren was made of americans who went under there own will to britain. America itself did not join the war untill December 7, 1941.

[Kamikazie190]

I would love to me a member of the Lüftwàffé (sp?) in the Battle of Britain. Or maybe a Russian soldier from the begining of the war - those that invaded Sweden or counter Japan in Mongolia. Or maybe a member of France Libré or FFI? Either way, you'd have an avid officer here. I'd love to partake in a few famous battles, and I'm willing to lose in my own way for when German starts getting their asses kicked. History is written by the victors, after all. None to say that my soldier might not have seen this.

Also, the invasion of Mongolia by the Japanese in early 1939 may be credited to starting WWII (Russians kicked'em out)., but most often credited is Germany's invasion of Poland in mid 1939, then Norway (which wasn't much more then a brisk walk) and Denmark.

And technicly America joined the war December EIGTH, 1941. Senate approved war ALMOST Unanimously (49-1) when they met the next day.

[Spartan-II]

It's LuftWaffe, you went overboard with accent marks. The Germans don't use à or é.

I know that, I've studied World War II extensively.

[WarBrood]

was there every been a successfully WW rp here?

[Geno]

was there every been a successfully WW rp here?

Last I checked, we haven't had any. I could check my back logs of the master thread, which'll give me insight about 5 or 6 months back... But beyond that, I can't say much. If you search for "World War" in the roleplay forum using our search feature, you could probably find out, though.

Sorry, best I could suggest :(
