[OOC] Soviet Amerika - Red Dawn-Inspired Alternate History

[HeySeuss]

I might join this roleplay if I have any time. That is if you are accepting new people.

@Star Lord

With all due respect, we're rolling with what we have.

[DeadDrop]

@Xandrya Walmart might be an interesting place to have your character hiding. Read this passage I wrote last year...

...When the lumbering Transport Aircraft dropped below the clouds, he knew something was there, but couldn’t tell what it was. Tracers again arced up into the sky. He could hear the chopping sound of several rotary wing aircraft to the west a bit. The transport aircraft then burst into fire along one of the wings. It appeared as though something was dropping from the aircraft but he could not tell what it was immediately. Then he recognized the sight of several parachutes dropping toward the ground. He witnessed the C17 roll to the west, lost altitude and strike the Walmart. He didn’t know where it landed. He assumed it was near exit 12, about a mile and a half from where he stood. He did however see the very loud mushroom cloud of brilliant orange erupt into the darkened sky. It lit up the entire area, illuminating the CH-47s lifting up and away from the park, where they had landed.

In the morning, just around sunrise, the crashing C17 slid through the Walmart parking lot and hit the building itself. It would have shaken the structure significantly. A large plume of fire and smoke mushroomed up over the crash site. None of the crew survived the impact.

The Burlington Raid is detailed in this post.

Eighty-nine people made it out of the doomed aircraft alive as the C-17 rolled to the right and dropped nose first toward the ground. The over-sized transport took seventeen lives with her as it struck the Walmart off Harvest Lane. The bulk of the aircraft continued to slide along the pavement of the parking lot following the impact into the adjacent Home Depot less than a thousand feet from where Joe Sullivan, Danny Douglas and the others from their cell were just starting their raid on the Williston State Police Station. A large mushroom cloud shaped fireball erupted into the morning darkness casting a wave of heat to spread over anyone out of doors in the Route 2A/I-89 area.

In terms of the Special Forces soldiers, this is what happened with the militia "Platoon" our team is part of. One militia cell conducted an ambush to the north at the Long Horn Steak House at the corner of St. George and Maple Tree Pl. The third cell conducted a similar ambush to the south based on the Sunoco Gas Station and DD. Their purpose was to isolate the raid our cell is conducting at Williston VSP barracks. Their intent was to prevent the Soviets and East Germans from reinforcing or relieving anyone at the VSP barracks. The cell to the north destroyed one truck in its kill zone and stopped a second carrying a squad of Soviet infantry which they are now in a fire fight with. The southern cell destroyed a VSP cruiser after the AMerican police man left his motor vehicle. You can see the arc of the doomed C17 as it flew over the area and crashed into the parking lot blowing up at the Walmart across the street. I hope this gets us all on the same sheet of music.

The Giguere brothers are in the back of hte VSP barracks, waiting for the rest. They will head to the woods to the East of their objective. Maybe link up with the other two cells when we all try to get away from the Russians at the Long Horn Steak House.

The only problem I see here is getting with Xandrya's character, but I will rewrite my post to have Dan deal with her.

[Gunther]

The part about Captain Baker plunging to his death upon the BIA tarmac was borrowed from Sword Point written by Harold Coyle (MAJ, AR) who also wrote Team Yankee, a very successful book about a WWIII scenario in 1987.

I am leaving on a jet plane Thursday morning and will return six days later. I will let you all now when I return. It is my intention to exit the aircraft after it has landed at its destination and stopped at the terminal.

[Gunther]

I am back! Do I need to post here or something? Where we at? What are we doing?

[Xandrya]

I don't think you've missed much, to be honest.
