SPEARHEAD is an idea for an RP I have that is inspired by fiction such as Ghost Recon: Wildlands, Tears of the Sun, Blackhawk Down, Rainbow Six and other such fiction and stories about small units of highly skilled military and paramilitary personnel undertaking high-risk, high-impact operations behind enemy lines to disrupt the operations of hostile organizations.

The RP will have some larger-than-life elements and themes, much like the fiction that inspires it, rather than being religiously adherent to reality - after all, the purpose of an RP is escalism, not slavish simulation of reality. However, it will specifically have some grounding and basis in realistic concepts such as tactics, weapons, and the like.
There will be no magic, super-powers, aliens, mechs, etc etc. There may be some hints or minor inclusion of some minor fantastical elements in the background or as minor flavouring or spice - but do not count on them to be front-and-center or a huge focus. More abstract mysteries or things that happen that your characters will be as confused or terrified by as anyone else.

Player characters will be members of the titular SPEARHEAD team, a multinational special operations team ala Rainbow Six, using military tactics, force, and weapons in a (fictional) country to disrupt the corrupt, religious extremist regime that has taken control.
Characters would be from military, law enforcement or other backgrounds where they have experience of direct action, as well as military weapons and tactics, from which they have been headhunted and recruited to be part of the Spearhead team.

As well as heapings of action, there will also be plenty of room for character and story development as part of the RP so that it has significant substance, as well as flashy style.

I am looking for a small group, for a relatively casually-paced game. No more than six players at maximum who can reliably post on about a fortnightly schedule.
While you don't need to have an extensive knowledge of military weapons, tech, and tactics, some knowledge and understanding of such things would be incredibly helpful and useful, and probably one of the things that would attract to this RP in the first place.

That's the minimum number of people I'd want to begin with, so I'll get the OOC up ASAP. I'll link it here when it's up too.

Still open to new applicants up to the maximum of 6 people

Not a player, but I'm running the Discord Server that Rhona is using for OOC discussion of these and his other RP, btw.

Good point - there is a group in the Discord server for discussion of the RP as well. Membership is entirely optional, I hasten to add, and all the RP will still be taking place on the forum threads when it goes up. And anything important will be mirrored to the OOC thread as well, so that everyone and anyone has the same info. It's just a convenient place to chat and catch up.
