Righto all, I'll be getting this here RP up and running with an IC introduction post within the next day or two (possibly three). Please remember that this is in the 'Advanced' section and all that comes with it - I don't care if you write entire novels, as long as the quality is good.

As I've said before, think about initiative within the RP - can you develop a character? How are they/will they interact with others? Inner thoughts, emotions, etc; in short, this is a 'team' effort and I will not be just shunting us around from place-to-place (although we shall be following an overarching plot for each act), so use common sense and writing skill and we should all get along shwell.

That is all for now, JB out.

P.S.

Any questions, ask away.

@Jbcool

I was thinking about it. But it seems my sergeant idea has already been taken. I didn't really have a backup, and i'm back to square one. If the RP starts without me just leave me behind.

@Jbcool lol, I just saw the names was was like, most everyone is gonna be a German, so why not?

@OllumhammersongI don't see a reason for two NCO's, most platoons have several.

@Ollumhammersong@Jamesyco I agree with James, it was why I put platoon sergeantS. I understand if you'd rather not, but two is fine with me.

@FrostedCaramel No worries, I'll drag you along with us until you return, and thanks for telling me.

As I said, someone else already grabbed the idea. I don't feel like making a copy of something that already exists. So i'll just leave it alone.

Actually a very good idea! We could use a flamethrower trooper, always handy.

We are light on heavy weapons variety. Gonna suck if we run into tanks or heavy infantry.

@caliban22 it's a light infantry regiment. Heavy weapons larger than a stubber or a mortar aren't really a thing

The ghosts had the treadfeather, likewise they used flamers and I think one or two autocannons? I may be wrong on that last one. Not a lot of stubbers as I recall. Now that I think about it the only ones I know they used for certain were the tread feathers and the flamers...

@Ollumhammersong has it correct, we will be screwed, but that's because we're not designed to take on either of those head on - could probably hold them up though. Many factors to consider.

@Ollumhammersong@DeadDrop@Katthaj@Drunken Conquistador@Oak7ree@FrostedCaramel@CaptainBritton@Jamesyco@Hank@caliban22

Okie dokie, so what we know is this;

We're the Fifty-Second Uzanian Rifles (3rd platoon of the 2nd company), a Light Infantry/Recon regiment from a 'civilised' world, composing of about thirty-or-so soldiers including Sharpshooters, a heavy-weapon team and the like.

For whatever reason (and I'm not sure why) we also, going by characters names (Johnny Killchain excluded), do seem to have developed a Germanic character.

Now what I'd like to know is if anyone has any ideas for some of the smaller things, such as cap badge designs, perhaps something unique to the Uzanian culture - such as a 40k version of Clausewitz' [url=en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_War]On War[/i] - something or things that set us apart from the Tanith for example.

I intend to keep this RP alive as long as I can, and I think such considerations can help in the long run.
