[OOC] Called Up - A WWII-esque Military RP (Alternate Universe)

[Gunther]

Go for it, Aidelein.

[Goldmarble]

Sorry, been busy with a bunch of shit, will get a post up tonight or tomorrow.

[Gunther]

Posted. The enemy are consolidating and reorganizing on their objective; our old position.
Friendly Artillery rounds impacting, walking onto the farmhouse.
Friendly tanks move up to counter attack. 2nd platoon (us) and the rest of the company come out of the trees and follow the tanks into the enemy.

Hey sorry for not posting I'm still very much in the game I've just been traveling

[HeySeuss]

I intend to post today. I'm home from a long one -just- ahead of Red Sox/Orioles traffic (because I work right next door to that)

[Gunther]

I would love to go to a Sox/Orioles game at Camden Yards.
I'm curious to see if there is the same energy you get at Fenway Pahk.

Excellent post, Goldmarble, capturing the physically exhausting nature of Infantry, driving on regardless.
There is an expression in the Infantry when it is raining. "Rain, you gotta love it." The point of the expression is this, if you don't "Love it," you will be miserable so you might as well love it because you really don't have a choice. The same goes with the physical activity of running up and down hills. You either do it, or you die. So, you might as well love it. :D

In all fairness, We need to make it rain in this RP. Tactically, rain favors the attack. They say Rain is Infantry weather. Maybe because of the expression above or maybe because the sound of the rain hitting leaves and the ground masks the sounds of rounds entering rifle chambers, coughing, sneezing and all those other expected noises you wish you could stop making but can't.

Whoopee, wet wounds and falling-apart bandage. :)

And thick, boggy mud is no friend to armored vehicles?

We don't want to make it easy, right? :)

I made a post, gave Aldo a grenade launcher. It's like the shitty cup launcher the old Enfields had -- it fired a modified mills bomb, but was nothing like the German grenade launcher they fielded in 1942; that was a very effective weapon.

Don't toss me out of rp yet lol I'll have a post up tonight at the latest.

[HeySeuss]

I'm not tossing anyone out -- I'm busy this week but I'll be back to more normal hours soon.

[HeySeuss]

RP's dead.
