this is about well, obviously WW2. most ww2-relaed rpgs are allies, so i thought i would make axis :P. well it is based off the german part for the setting, but tried to be politically correct XD
if this somehow offends you i apologize???
Name: Age: at least 14 -.- Class: see below Weaponry: see below equipment: canteen, helmet bio: optional, but recommended
Classes & Weaponry: in sections:
Wehrmacht: the backbone of the entire force. gets easier missions, but not the best equipment.
Volksgrenadier: similar to militia, they were deployed widely mainly for defense purposes. fanatical. starts with Kar98k, 2 ' Potato Masher' grenades, and combat knife.also only gets a grey hat instead of a helmet.
Pioneer: logistical and mechanical strength of any operation. similar or equivalent to an american 'combat engineer'. starts with mp40, Wrench, and repair tools/kit. chance of getting flammenwerfer later.
MG: the gunner of the fearsome MG42. part of a 3-4 man squad. just the sound strikes fear into an enemy roach! also has a Walther pistol.
AT: more of a branch of a normal soldier, they are taked with destroying enemy armor and fortifications. 2 man squad. starts with Panzerfaust and captured Russian AT-rifle. 1 grenade.
Waffen SS: Hitler's personal bodyguard, they served as a brutally effective shock troop on nearly every part of the war. Highly equipped and trained.
Grenadier: basic unit. starts with Gewehr 43,bayonet, foliage camo, and the thicker combat helmet.
MG2: has a lighter, more portable version of the MG42. not much assistance needed. still 2 man squad,though.
Shock: the baddest out of all the BA's. starts with SG-44, combat knife, Luger pistol, and 3 grenades. easy missions will never ever happen...ever.
SS Officer: a trained, professional Officer. deadly,ruthless, efficient, just their present makes a big difference in anything. starts with Luger, compass,map , radio. also has a small entourage. vital for any type of management
Panzer Lehr: the best recruits were hand picked from tank school to be in this division. expect the best.
Schutz: start at the bottom , work your way up.
if there are any historical inaccuracies or suggestions please post on mah profile or here ^.^ .
Name: Paul Age: 20 Class: Pioneer Weaponry: Mp40 Equipment: Wernch, repair kit Bio: Paul joined in his nation's honor (not knowing what he was getting himself into.)
Name: Tomer Age: 25 Class: Shock Weaponry: SG-44, combat knife, Luger pistol, and 3 grenades. Equipment: 3 dynamites, 500 grams of gupowder, bottle of petroleum, ammo. Bio: Tomer joined because he wanted fame and badges. He got good training. He also smuggled a few extra things into the army. He's very carefull and patient. Good reflexes. He is known for good planing.
Well, this is interesting. Most of the time in an RPG, you end up being the good guys, yeah? And I like how you took pains to be historically accurate to at least some degree. Name: Karl Friedmann Age: 22 Class: Waffen-SS Weaponry: Actually, you didn't say what weapons the SS uses, so shall I just pick my own or will you? equipment: Canteen, Helmet Biography: He was raised in a happy but low-class family with next to nothing. Almost fanatically loyal, Friedmann joined at the beginning of the war, having been fooled by the recruitment propaganda and under the belief that the war was a good place and that he was serving Germany. When he first saw a concentration camp, however, he learned quickly that was not the case. Instead of deserting(which would've gotten him killed and been very dishonorable), Friedmann instead decided to continue serving Germany, but will defer to the Geneva Convention as well. So basically what I'm saying is that Friedmann is a lower-ranking Rommel.
Uhmm, normally I wouldn't correct you on this, being that it's just an RPG, but you did ask for it(literally). -Only the Leibstandardte(a regiment of the Waffen-SS) were Hitler's bodyguards. -I don't think there was a tank school, didn't they just take the best tank people already enlisted and put them in the same division(Panzer Lehr)? And that's pretty much all. Owait, I do have a few questions. Why are some of the classes bolded, and when is this(what year)? Also; are we all part of the Heer or can we be in the Luftwaffte or Kriegsmarine?
Name: Age: 16 Class: Wehrmacht Weaponry: MG-42 equipment: canteen, helmet bio: lived a peaceful life near the eastern edge of Germany's border until the war hit his town he had nothing to live for since so he joined the army in hopes of retribution
btw what front are we on or do we choose and what year is it?
Name: Alexander Age: 16 Class: MG2 Weaponry: MG-42 equipment: canteen, helmet Walther pistol bio: lived a peaceful life near the eastern edge of Germany's border until the war hit his town he had nothing to live for since so he joined the army in hopes of retribution
forgot name and figured out their all separate classes o.O
isnt there a soldier class in wehrmacht except militia??
The Volksgrenadier, or 'eople soldier' literally, were not an actual militia. they were merely a less trained counterpart to the Grenadiers, and mainly served for defense, as i said, because they were much more local. they are only a very rough equivalent to a militia.
Only the Leibstandardte(a regiment of the Waffen-SS) were Hitler's bodyguards.
yes, i know this, but their original purpose was this. not quite a bodyguard, but a 'following occupation force' to protect Hitler wherever he went. after this they were more or less diverted to much more productive purposes.
I don't think there was a tank school, didn't they just take the best tank people already enlisted and put them in the same division(Panzer Lehr)?
well obviously there must be a mechanized school,, or else no one would kn0ow how to do anything! the best, brightest recruits were hand-picked to be in the Panzer Lehr, or 'Panzer teach', which doesn't make sense in English but does in German. The Panzer Lehr served a crucial part in stopping Operation Market Garden in Belgium.
Why are some of the classes bolded, and when is this(what year)?
mid-late 1944, early 1945. and those bolded ones aresection headers silly, not classes ^.^ .
are we all part of the Heer or can we be in the Luftwaffte or Kriegsmarine?
the Luftwaffe is far too difficult to pur in an RPG, or are you referring to their ground elements? and i somewhat generalized the Kriegsmarine, SturmTruppen, and the Fallschirmjaeger into one collective group ,the Shock >.>
2 cookies to whoeveer tells me who the Fallschirmjaeger were!!!! actually just an extra gun of my choice XD
btw what front are we on or do we choose and what year is it?
you will all be participating, each in one event, in such historical events as The Siegfried Line, D-Day, Battle of the Bulge, the Eastern Front, and perhaps the Battle of Berlin.
Name: Fichen Stupenhiemer Age: 13 Class: Volksgrenadier Weaponry: Kar98k, Grenades equipment: Canteen, Cap bio: He was drafted, and sent onto the battlefield. He's very resentful of this war, and he misses his family.
Name: Karl Friedmann Age: 22 Class: Grenadier Weaponry: Gewehr 43 w/Bayonet attachment. Equipment: Canteen, Helmet, Foliage Camouflage, Improved Helmet. Biography: He was raised in a happy but low-class family with next to nothing. Almost fanatically loyal, Friedmann joined at the beginning of the war, having been fooled by the recruitment propaganda and under the belief that the war was a good place and that he was serving Germany.

Fallschrimjaeger were the infantry paratroopers(compliments of my fifth grade teacher's weeklong coverage of WW2). If possible, I would like a sugar cookie that has somehow been infused with blueberry doughnut jelly... Owait... Hm. I get a gun instead of a cookie ='(.
and those bolded ones aresection headers silly, not classes ^.^ .
Ohhhhh...I see now. I'm pretty dumb, aren't I? Dur da dur. Fixed now?

German infantry paratroopers, in case you had any questions about what I thought there. Because "fallschrimjaeger" sounds totally English. Lol. Actually, it does kind of have a nice ring to it.
