Queen Raidne

Point of Departure: World War II

Closed to Allied Nations.

Looking for Axis players!

---

---

The date is December 8th, 1941. With the entry of the United States, World War II is in full swing.

Which is when an alien society of omnipotent space bats in the far future screw with dimensions in the multiverse, and pull in some guests.

Play as either a real-life leader of a real-life country; a strange alternate dimension country that could have been; or a single ship, battalion, or air wing, stranded from its home timeline. No magic, and keep tech at a near-WWII equivalent. Pull from books! Pull from timelines on alternate history forums! Go a little crazy! Be very sane!

---

In more detail, the timeline proceeds as ours does up to December 8th, 1941. On that date, countries, ships, fighter wings, or battalions find themselves suddenly "cut" from their timeline and "pasted" into our timeline. They get "pasted" in the same place in our timeline that they were "cut" from in their timeilne. So if your nation is an alternate take on Spain where Napoleon never invaded, your Spain replaces our Spain. Even if that means part of France suddenly disappears.

Any nations that would be carved out of another, already established, player's territory should be cleared by said other player.

Combat is decided through rational roleplay. "Rational", as in, no single tank will destroy an entire army.

Any nations not claimed by someone are NPC's (...NPN's?), and their actions are controlled by everyone - if you need the NPC to react, put it in your post, and then it's canon.

Example

+Ship Name: USS Tulsa, ZRCV 1
+Affiliated Navy: United States of America
+Allegiance: Allied
+Captain: Cdr. Roy E. Owens
+Current Location: Atlantic Ocean, 400 mi. WNW of Glasgow
+Description:

Rough image

Although the scenario pictured is absurd - no ZRCV would get anywhere near enemy airspace if they could help it.

USS Tulsa is a 900 ft. long flying aircraft carrier with a gas capacity of 10,000,000 cubic feet of helium. Though ZRCV's were originally thought of scouting craft, they soon found their niche as an anti-submarine warfare platform, ideal for escorting trans-Atlantic shipping. They have a chief advantage of being able to stay on station, hunting and tracking a submarine for up to a week - far longer than the submarine has air, or battery charge.

The ship is painted with the upper third silver and the bottom two thirds a matte gray for camouflage. As if anyone couldn't see a 900 foot long dirigible floating at 3000 feet. There are three national insignia - one beneath the envelope in front of the control car, and one on either side of the envelope in front of the fins. The name "USS Tulsa" is on both sides near the horizontal fins; "US Navy" is in large letters near the midsection.

USS Tulsa has a trapeze hook system to carry up to 10 aircraft.
+Aircraft:
3x ZOF Seafin - single seat high wing reconnaissance type. One .30 cal machine gun. Combat radius 200 miles on internal fuel, 300 with auxiliary fuel tank. Standard observation/reconnaissance plane on all airships 1939-1945. No conventional landing gear. Designed by BuAer and built by Grumman.

Approximate Picture

2x FAZ Shrike - single seat, single engine defensive fighter. Mid-wing monoplane based broadly on the Brewster F2A, but armed with only two .03 cal. machine guns. 150 mile radius on internal fuel. Light construction and elimination of retractable landing gear gave the Shrike significantly greater speed and maneuverability than the standard F2A. Usually operated without normal landing gear, but could be fitted with simple stick landing gear for conventional landings and takeoffs when necessary. Designed and built by Brewster. Relatively few built and rarely carried by airships operating in the Atlantic.

Approximate Picture

3x PBFZ Harrier - small, twin engine 2 seat ASW floatplane, based loosely on the Grumman Goose. Capable of carrying up to 4 depth bombs, surface search radar and active/passive sonar buoys. 200 mile combat radius. With a wingspan of 49 feet, the largest aircraft routinely carried by the ZRCV ships. No defensive armament. Optimized for airship operation by BuAer, built by Grumman.

Approximate Picture

+Armament: Aside from aircraft, USS Tulsa has nine .50 cal machine guns - two facing forward, one in the bow and the other on the lower fin; two on either side along the lateral keels; and three mounted dorsally along the top of the envelope. Very few expect them to ever be more than a token defense.
+Crew: 80

Map for you to draw all over

The World, December 1941


Black is Axis, Blue is Allied

Point of Departure: World War II

So, we can actually make new but plausible nations, right?
How about the Carpathian Federation?

[...]

Also I can understand that you wish to start this game when USA is involved, too.
But that'd practically prohibit people from exploring plots from earlier times.
For example my Carpathian Federation would most likely interfere during the Polish Invasion already.

@Willy Vereb

Sounds fine. And it wouldn't, actually; the idea being that your nation would be ISOT'd (er, "magically" and instantaneously transported) from its home universe to this one, plopped down in the same relative location. God knows what happens to the poor innocent nations that used to be there.

I would like to partake in this RP! As the former this Submarine!

@Voltus_Ventus

Ooh, what is that, a Type... X? IX? Drat, I used to know this stuff.

Question I'm a bit confused so some parts of our timeline mixed in with parts of another time. So basically two dimensions mixed together. Also I'd be fine with soviet Russia or germany.

@LordZell

Yes, essentially. Take our world in 1941 as the base canvas, then swap out nations, ships, etc. with ones from alternate dimensions. It's kind-of a little bit like Eric Flint's Grantville series (if you've heard of it), minus the time travel.

Just some random questions:
- Are we allowed to pull in nations from other NRP's we've been in?
- Instead of playing as a ship, can we play as a single person or fleet/fighter wing/army platoon?

On another note, nice seeing you again Raid :D

@ClocktowerEchos

Hello, Clock!
-Yes. Edit it, though, to make it fit this RP. Make sure the technology level is WWII. It's preferable if your nation is in their own version of WWII, as well.
-I don't think a single person would work - there's not going to be many other single people for them to interact with. I'm okay with fighter wings and platoons. Maybe fleets, too. But you shouldn't be able to influence events to the same degree as nations with one fleet/wing/platoon.

Point of Departure: World War II

How about an alt-Timeline South Africa?

@Nerevarine

I'm open to the idea.*

I'll start working on a proper OOC, since interest is accumulating (haha, finance puns).

^{*Please no Draka-wank. I feel like 1940's Domination of Draka would utterly destroy everything else.}

Point of Departure: World War II

Yay! Interest! <3

Oooh, go for it, Thang. I like the idea. If you're going off of our timeline, Rommel just pulled out of Tobruk, I believe.

[1x1] Stellvia: A Modest Enterprise

Hahaha, yes, please. The only problem might be figuring out when to transition into flying off. But that's not much of a problem, I think. Probably we could (finally) just start, at this point!

P.S.: Enjoy your fancy Co-GM status and powers. <3

Edit: @White Feather@ForsytheIt's been a while, but I still want this to happen.

[1x1] Stellvia: A Modest Enterprise

Good news! I can now be on here on a regular schedule again! Expect daily to bi-daily activity.

Yes, I agree with these things that have been said. It makes sense to just go with the flow, I think. I was wondering where we should start - with the ship's first launch, or do some posts on constructing it?

And - what shall we call it? Because obviously that's the most important thing.

[1x1] Stellvia: A Modest Enterprise

My vote is for new, but I'm fairly indifferent.

Several hundred years in the future, three alien races took it upon themselves to launch an expedition through an ancient space gate...

This is a non-"adult" 1x1x1* between @myself, @White Feather, and @Forsythe. It's spin-off from the roleplay Stellvia. We're not looking for additional players, but you can comment in the OOC, if you like.

The sheet that follows is just a suggestion. Nothing on it is required. Add more information, if you'd like. Ignore fields, if you want to. Heck, you guys don't even have to use it.

Stellvia [Always Accepting] (Hey, these things in parentheses are hip, right?)

I suggest a timeskip. We move forward, say, 3 months. Then we quietly ignore those connections we've made that are AWOL. Speaking of which, who's waiting on whom?
