I have no idea actually, I don't think so. But could Maxwell and your character Poly attach to Scott's section?

Okay, I just want to make sure I understand this- we're in an alternate history where Winston Churchill was assassinated by a German agent?

I must throw my curiosity, and quite a bit of confusion too, into the fray; Is Churchill dead, did they pull a "The Eagle has landed" operation where it was merely a decoy and the real Churchill is alive?

I greatly question the reading ability of most people here.If you'd just go through that "massive" bit of text in the second post...

Having done that, I am still unsure. I am sorry to bother you by asking questions about your post, but I would greatly appreciate an answer, solely for my own edification- is Churchill dead?

Awesome! If I understood the posts that have been made so far in the IC correctly, we're all to be in your character's platoon, Sturmgeschutz? Which Sergeant would Sean most likely have been put under? Or, if you'd like, I could have him be under the command of Lieutenant Bailey. It could make for some more.. interesting interactions between the soldiers, perhaps?

Well, I wanted to play my Corporal as one of the Platoon's Machine Gunners (which is why he's armed with a standard issue LMG for the British Army). I was going to say that he had two NPC Privates with him who were also from his home Regiment in Ireland (if that was okay), who had survived the British failings on mainland Greece, and acted as his MG team ('cause from my experiences on Company of Heroes, there are two extra fellows along with any machine gunner, although I'm not sure if that's historically accurate). I could stick them under the Kewi's command, perhaps, if that's alright?

A Bren would operate fine with just a single user, but you could also have a "loader" who'd be in charge of keeping the thing going (changing the mags etc) whilst your character could be the guy doing all the pointing and clicking. The loader would also be the eyes and ears, and would be yelling out targets to your character.
So yeah, in summary, you'd have an extra guy with you who'd change the mags and watch the flanks.

Alrighty, I'll start writing up a post for Sean, then. He'll have a pair of young Irish fellows along with him, both of whom are semi trained in how to be his "reloading guy", but one who'll just act as a regular ol' rifleman until the other one gets shot. They'll both be expendable, so I'm sure we can easily do away with them and have another player help him out if that's the way things end up going. I'll start working on an introductory post in a moment, and contact kingkonrad to see if he wants to work on a collab post. =)

Thanks! :DAnd do we need to have any other Platoon/other character positions filled? I'll get round to writing up a second sheet at some point, and I'm happy to shape my character around a role we need filled.

Seen as more people are having second characters, would you advise me to cook up a new one too?
