So much philosophy I feel like I've got my head stuck in an ice cream koan.

The reason they're not really shown in depth is because the SOP seems to be "hold the line until Witches arrive, then get the hell out ASAP". In fact the casualty rate is reasonably low as a result.

And like I said before, in canon the relationship between Witches and conventional forces is overwhelmingly positive.

Hmm... Well, I never got into Strike Witches. I've heard about it and watched one or two episodes, but it never quite caught my interest, but I learned enough about the setting for this RP to interest me.Would there be a possibility for me to play ground crew/infantry or something? The idea of men and other proper soldiers being shown up by young girls would obliviously cause some tension between Witches and your regular soldier, and it wasn't something that was ever really shown in the anime. Plus, I always did like playing the 'underdog' character so to speak.


I'm a little bit sketchy about that.

In general (by which I mean with a grand total of maybe one exception) regular soldiers, sailors and airmen seem to have no problems working with Witches on the rare occasions that they're seen.
That's great.

I was thinking no-one was interested. ^.^;
I'm holding everyone up again, aren't I? >.<
I've only played ZX. Am I still welcome in this discussion?

I don't really see the Mary Sue aspect. It's not like she doesn't have her own problems to deal with.


You mean aside from the fact that the episodes she did appear in went out of their way to show how awesome she was? And the whole "married to the Doctor" thing, which is kind of the classic fangirl wet dream? Or the fact that she's conveniently a Time Lord due to some contrived Deus Ex Machina bollocks?

Edit: I'm typing on a Kindle. There's going to be autocorrect problems.
The year is 1944. The alien menace known as the Neuroi has swept across continental Europe, leaving almost everything from Ostmark to the Gallian coast a scorched wasteland.

Sitting across the water lies Britannia, considered the key foothold in the battle to see Europe freed from this grave threat.

There’s just one problem. The Neuroi are almost impervious to conventional weaponry, with anything less powerful than naval artillery often failing to even scratch their skins.

However, it was soon discovered that there was something that would be effective: Witches. Young girls born aloft by the magic they channel through the engines of devices known as “Striker Units” who had the ability to take on the Neuroi in the air, and even destroy them.

This discovery led to the formation of the Joint Fighter Wings; units of Witches drawn from across the world banded together to fight the Neuroi.

While the story of the 501st’s key role in the liberation of Gallia from their base in the Strait of Dover is probably the most well known, they are far from the only JFW in Britannia.

The Needles Battery, on the Isle of Wight. This old Victorian coastal defence fort now stands as the home of the 514th Joint Fighter Wing, tasked with defending the country against Neuroi incursions from the Hive sitting over Cherbourg and the Channel Islands.

So yeah, it’s my attempt at running a Strike Witches RP. However, given my inexperience at being a GM I’m going to be making this mostly a player-driven RP, at least outside of the combat.

So, is anyone interested?

Yeah, in the future not all challenges will be combat oriented. Expect a fair amount of mysteries, puzzles, shenanigans, and politics (the fun kind) to be involved. XD


Especially the kind of fun that stems from the fact that most of us signed up as heavily combat-oriented characters.

If I can go the route of Souji from Ore Twintail Ni Narimasu....I'm all in!


Speaking from personal experience, that sort of thing does not go over well.

Or actually work without being creepy as hell.
