Military Themed Role Plays

[Gunther]

I have attempted to present various military Role Plays over the past five or more years and have experienced varied responses. It is my favorite subject, I enjoy reading and writing about. I have had an interest in the military all of my life, I am a veteran and can generate material from several resources to write about for my posts as well as personal experiences.

If you share this interest with me, please post here or send a PM with an idea of what you would like to write about. I can cover historical fictions, present day, the not so distant future, fantasy and science fiction. Even a post apocalyptic setting with a military theme is appealing.

Share your ideas and we can discuss in PM how to work them into an RP. I can work with dialogue, personal accounts, small unit tactics (squad, platoon, company and battalion), Brigade and division operations or strategies at the Corps, Army or higher level. If you would like to work with naval or air units that is acceptable too. I am open to discussion. I don't mind if we deal with inexperienced, experienced, veterans or elite personnel. I can accommodate either request.

Also, if you would like to do a 1x1 with just two "Joes". We could do a slice of life for two veterans that have been off active duty for some time and having to deal with physical or psychological issues related to a combat tour. What about the idea of Role Playing a military academy like West Point, Sandhurst or the Citadel; fictitious school of course. Then have some plot going on at the school. That is fine also. Not a big fan of the Prisoner of War (PW) concept, but other than that, I am open to just about anything even steam punk.

Send a PM or post an idea here. I prefer advanced settings, but also participate in casual. I do not have the luxury to sit at my computer with enough frequency for free play.

If you are looking at this and know of an active military role play you believe I may be interested in, send me a PM with a link and I'll check it out.

Thanks for reading and send me your thoughts.

Intrigued. Very, very intrigued.

[NickTrano]

Interested. Could write a corpsman or something perhaps. Haven't done any hard military stuff and I'm POG as fuck (and in the Navy for that matter), so I'd need some learnin'. I'd be down for some not-so-distant future stuff. War with China from the perspective on the ground?

[POOHEAD189]

I will see if I can brainstorm over the next few days.

[Bourgeoisie]

Looks interesting... I'll try to think of some stuff.

[Gunther]

May I offer a suggestion? About a year ago, I created an RP about a Private Military Corporation called "Alamo Scouts". It is set in the "not too distant future"; and loosely based on the video game Call of Duty: Advanced Warfighter. I ask for non-canonical characters and intent on using the COD;AW weapons and equipment as well as organizations used in the video game. The name Alamo Scouts is based on the WWII unit, 6th Army Special Reconnaissance Unit, which operated out of Australia and performed similar operations into the Pacific Theater of Operations (PTO). This RP is an example of borrowing lessons from the past and thrusting them slightly into the future using a quasi science fiction setting based on theoretical technology of today. Below, in the hider is the In Character post I wrote up about Alamo Scouts. This seems to fill the idea @NickTrano came up with.

Alamo Scouts

In Character

The year is 2056. The United States of America (USA) is in its second year of the war with the People's Republic of China (PRC). Most of the ground war is taking place on the Korean Peninsula, South Pacific Islands (Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, New Guinea, Philippines, Marianas, Taiwan, and Solomon Islands), Eastern Russia, Western Canada and Alaska. The war is being fought slowly, with tremendous volumes of blood being paid for every square yard taken. There is a vast naval and air war being fought, currently at parity across the Pacific Ocean.

Alamo Scouts, Incorporated is a Private Military Company (PMC) based out of San Antonio, Texas with advanced assets at their base in Darwin, Australia. It is a joint US-Australian corporation hiring experienced professional military and paramilitary personnel from the US, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Western Europe. The PMC specializes in intelligence gathering through reconnaissance, surveillance and deep penetration of targeted installations. Occasionally, they are called upon for direct action missions. Employees who come to Alamo Scouts have real world experience in Infantry, Cavalry, Special Operations, Commando, Special Air Service, Joint Task Force, Long Range Reconnaissance & Surveillance, Law Enforcement and/or governmental direct action units (i.e.: CIA's Special Activities Division). Applicants are generally combat veterans who have at least three or more years time in service. Applicants with experience in two or more generalized areas of expertise are given preferential treatment over younger candidates. The average age of the Alamo Scout Operative is 33.1 years of age.

Alamo Scouts, Inc. holds contracts with various Pacific rim nations including the US, Canada, Japan, Philippines, New Zealand and Australia. Hostile nations include PRC, N. Korea, Iran and Pakistan. Hostile organizations include KVA (Russian Terrorists), Daesh or Islamic State (Middle Eastern religious zealots), Taliban and the New Liberation Front (NLF) which seeks to over throw the current democratic government in Russia.

Although the war is fought in many locales in the eastern Russian Federation, Russia is not directly involved with the conflict between the USA and PRC. The Russian Federation is engaged in a protracted war with KVA and NLF organizations. There are no known organized operations involving both KVA and NLF forces working in unison as of this date. Rumor has it, they could be coming together soon.

Alamo Scouts utilize Long Range Reconnaissance and Surveillance Detachments (LRRS-D) which operate in 8-man teams. Each Alamo Scout Team plans, executes and supports its own missions with support from Alamo's Special Logistics Division (SLD). The SLD is equipped with the latest in state of the art technology to include the employment of cybernetically enhanced prosthetic limbs and implants. The SLD also provides Air, Land and Sea transport when needed and has recently given the ability to provide an orbital launch insertion method using jump pods. Alamo Scouts' Intelligence Analysis Division (IAD) gathers intelligence collected by Reconnaissance & Surveillance (R&S) teams and prepares it for dissemination to contracted nations and organizations.

All Applicants to Alamo Scouts undergo a Basic Operator Training (BOT) regimen at Operating Base Crocket near San Antonio, Texas. The BOT experience builds on the training and experience individual applicants have received from their home nation, teaches the Alamo operator how to use the PMC equipment and conduct operations according to the Alamo Scout Operations Procedures (ASOP). Applicants receive a copy of the ASOP during in processing and are expected to memorize every Tactic, Technique and Procedure (TTP) mentioned in the manual.

That sounds pretty fucking sick.

@Bourgeoisie

Any ideas, Bourgeoisie?

[Gunther]

I may just run with Alamo Scouts. It appears that four people are interested in that one. I will probably do the overview sequences rather than RP a character in an R&S teams; paint the scene, RP the bad guys and move a scene forward if it stalls. We may pick up a few more people once it is in OOC format. I'll go with Casual (Advanced) so you can do one paragraph posts or larger if needed. 6-8 is ideal, but four is cozy. Expect the OOC to be posted by Friday. Tues, Wed and Thurs are my busy days. I am more active Fri - Mon.

Copy.

[TheEvanCat]

You don't want to role play West Point. I can confirm it's just a lot of homework and masturbating.

[Dinh AaronMk]

@TheEvanCat

You also don't want to RP Afghanistan or Iraq. It's a lot of angsty masturbating and staring at goats. Angstily.

@TheEvanCat@Dinh AaronMk

If you two are interested, I posted an RP called Alamo Scouts, Inc. It is a PMC based loosely on Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.
I never made it to Afghanistan, I got out before that got really hot. I was Preparing to go to Bosnia when the WTC got hit and in country when the Special guys went in to help the Northern Alliance. Instead of The Long Gray Line, the school for boys on the Hudson or Willy Peter, I went to OCS. Any real world experience y'all have would be appreciated. :D

@Gunther

I just tell girls at parties that I go to the South Hudson Institute of Technology and they think I'm real smart.

Props to OCS though, my dad did the same thing with the Navy.

[Gatekeeper13]

Sounds good. I'm keen.

I did start one called,Alamo Scouts, Inc. It is a PMC based loosely on Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.

...but if you had a different idea, please share.
