1932:
After the fall of the high monarchy due to a coup initiated by Stormhammer, a rogue organization of nationalist extremists, a new figurehead of power is established in the country of Athyrnia. Stormhammer becomes the governing body, and their leader, a ruthless man named Klaus Herr Weisenhauer, is appointed as high chancellor of Athyrnia. Under the chancellor's reign, the populous of Athyrnia flourishes with a newfound patriotism for their country and a rapidly growing economy, but the cost for such is constant oppression and censorship by the newly formed totalitarian government, and the seizing of the lands vast supply of valuable minerals. Resistances have formed to oppose Stormhammer, but have been crushed by their military might. Traitors, criminals, and those Stormhammer see as undesirable to the country are made examples of in public executions.
1934:
The neighboring countries of Athyrnia, Gaerthis and Reinsborough, swear their allegiance to Stormhammer in order to gain wealth from mining valuable minerals. Athyrnian troops are deployed to their capital cities, and the populations are purged of undesirables in vile acts of genocide. The three countries merge their military forces together and later become the Athyrnian Axis of Stormhammer. A long and harrowing military campaign commences with the forced annexation of various small countries surrounding the Axis, causing an outbreak of sporadic battles, eventually leading to the start of what would become the Great War.
1937:
By this time, most if not all countries have fallen before the might of Stormhammer, yet there is one that continues to fight back tooth and nail against their oppressive military forces. The small but mineral rich country of Saryt. Barely hanging on by a thread, the Sarytian army, comprised of several sparsely equipped militia units, struggle to push back the tide of war from their once peaceful nation, now threatened by the ever looming shadow of Stormhammer. Most of the major cities have been overtaken already, but the capital city Hamalt still stands under the Sarytian flag, despite several bombings by Athyrnian aircraft and artillery strikes by ground forces. The days seem numbered for the battered city, but the Sarytian army vows never to surrender to Stormhammer and continue to wage what seems a losing battle. For days, the casualties have amassed for the small army, however.....there may be at least a glimmer of hope left for Saryt.
And that is where our story begins.....
________________________________________________________________
So what I'm going for here is a WW2-esque RP set in an alternate fantasy (if ya didn't get that by the title) You will have the option of either assisting the Sarytian Army in their fight to defend their country or swearing your fealty to Stormhammer and crushing all who oppose them with the Athrynian Axis. Given this is an alternate world, there is still no technical advances past the 1930s or 40s, so no cellphones, GPS, or anything like that. You are allowed any position in the military of your choosing, be it a sniper, grenadier, rifleman, medic, etc.
So...any takers?
