The Road to Berlin

[Claw2k11]

On the 22nd of June 1941, a invasion was launched. Nazi Germany controled most of Europe at the moment but there was only one nation in Europe that could possibly threaten their dominance(other than England) and that was Stalin's massive Soviet Union. Earlier, at the start of the war, the two nations worked together to crush Poland and split it in half later as a show of friendship between nations.

However, Stalin knew that war was imminent between the two nations and started to modernize the Sovier Union's armies. However, with the Battle of England lost, the Nazi's turned towards Russia as their next target, an invasion would come at any day... and on the 22nd the army of the Nazi's invaded with their full might, catching the unprepared and underequipped Russian army by surprise.

This will basically be a World War II scenario, while it can go the way it went in the history books, it can also go the way of so many Alternate History novels about this period, meaning that all your characters will be able to change the fate of the war if your will is strong enough! Also, while it isn't necessary, I do advise that you use only the nationalities that were present during this invasion(such as germans, russians, italians, romanians, hungarians, etc).

I'm thinking about a character who fights for Fascist Italy. Ultimate Goal: Replace Mussolini and backstab Germany if defeat of the Axis is near or the Allies have been vanquished. If the first option, get ready for WWIII.

[Claw2k11]

Well... you might be able to do that in the next game if this one goes well enough. This game will focus on the Eastern Front and the game will end when either the Nazi's are pushed out of Russia, or when Russia eventually surrenders. Then we'll focus on things such as replacing Mussolini.

With that said, I do like the fact that you have such a high goal, but why not replace Hitler? Why settle for Mussolini and his weak country when you can have Nazi Germany and Italy might?

[CommisarJhon]

Oh yesss WW2 RP :) Im gotta join this roleplay and i mean WILL JOIN. *hype*

@Claw2k11

• 1. Mussolini is the father of Fascism. To replace him and play as a Fascist Dictator would be fun (remember that it was Hitler's version of Fascism that was into racism and genocide not Mussolini).
• 2. Don't want to play as a Nazi (equal-opportunity Fascism for the win!) Hitler is however next on the menu.
• 3. I want to build up a small nation in my quest for power, simply taking control of a powerhouse and bulldozing people isn't as fun.

That said, my ambitions know no limits.

[Claw2k11]

If you want to start with a real underdog, then I would advise playing either Hungary or Romania, what do you say?

[Mardox]

I don't want a true underdog, just a challenge. (No playing as Poland and trying to annex Germany....)

[Claw2k11]

They aren't real underdogs, at least Romania isn't. Among all of Axis, Romania fielded the largest army besides Germany itself.

[Mardox]

Really? I never knew that. But then why say to play as them if I wanted a true underdog?

[Frengo]

So how would this RP play out? Would our characters be in close proximity? Or scattered all across the front line? I think the Eastern Front shindig had about a zillion battles.

Or were you thinking of doing it in stages? Ya know, like:

Scenario #1: Eastern Poland

Scenario #2: Outskirts of Moscow

Scenario #3: Stalingrad

Scenario #4: Kharkov

Scenario #5: Kursk

And so on, and so forth?

[Claw2k11]

The game will start right on the day that Operation Barbarossa started(22nd of June 1941). And again, the universe can be changed, so some battles like the battle of Stalingrad can be won by the Germans, what will happen is not set in stone.

@Claw2k11

Okay cool, but will we all be in the same area? Or will we start wherever we want?

EDIT: What I'm trying to say is, the Eastern Front is a big place, and Operation Barbarossa was a massive operation. I just wanted to know if there was a limited area where our characters could "spawn", or whether we could start out anywhere.

I'm thinking of a German tank commander.

[Claw2k11]

You will be placed randomly. If you're Russian, then you could be placed anywhere in European Russia. If you're going to play with a German or one of it's allies, then you're going to start on the front.

[Delta44]

I'll make an app soonish :P

@Frengo

goddamn I had the same idea xD

@DiZL ReloadeD

I might be mistaken, but I think - and I'm going out on a limb here - that the Germans had more than one tank. :O

Maybe we could double up? I could be an AA tank or a self-propelled gun, and you could be a panzer. I'd have to do a bit of research to see what was available though.

[DiZL ReloadeD]

@Frengo
Haven't thought about that one.
We could do that or I go as commander of a Panzergrenadier Regiment

A tanker duo could also be an option

some tank suggestions

AA tank= Wirbelwind, Ostwind
self propelled gun= StuH IV, StuG IV
assault tank= Brummbär, Sturmtiger (be warned this one has a hell of reload time and its risky as fk but oh boy it makes a big boom)
Tank destroyer= Jagdpanther, Jagdtiger
Heavy Tank= PzKpfw VI Tiger, Tiger II or even a Panther

those arent meant as duo suggestions but as individual strong german tanks divided in 5 classes

@DiZL ReloadeD

I think some of that didn't come about until later on. In '41 we're using rubbish, really - I think the Panzer 4's were the biggest and meanest that the Germans had at the time.

How about we run with the Panzergreandier idea, with one us leading the troops and half tracks, and the other manages an attachment of Stugs or Panzers? That'd put us right up front in the Blitzkrieg.

Maybe some other players could join us, to manage things like artillery and logistics - that'd be cool lol, could be a fully operational company.

But yeah, we should deffo do an infantry/armoured mix.

[DiZL ReloadeD]

@Frengo ok cool, wasn't sure if 1941 was the definite year we play in.

@DiZL ReloadeD

Sounds good.

So what would you prefer to play as? I'd rather get this sorted now so I can go away and do appropriate research :D I have no preference, I'll have fun with either infantry or tanks.
