I guess someone could take this over if you sent us how this particular game works/is supposed to work or what have you.... congrats on graduating.. btw, now the hard part begins... you need to get your s##% together... ;)
"Yessir!" she says and then falls in and checks her equipment and loads a bullet in the chamber of both her weapons and keeps her eyes peeled for mines or any such foolishness. Perception
Dastl looks at the Captain and gives him a salute but very quickly to not make him a target for snipers. "Sir, mission accomplished although ve lost a lot of good trooperz, how zou holin up, sir?" "Vould zou like me to interrogate za prisona?"
Upon reaching the rally point, Dastl looks at the remaining troopers and says, "Great job, vet's stay on 50% alert, ve need to keep noise discipleen, the other half enjoy zour K-rats... Perception She then looks at the rest of the group, "Are zou fellas allzight?"
Margit follows the rest of the troopers in a crouch and helps setting up the transmitter. Profession Engineer
Dastl frowns at hearing the demise of the Major, then shrugs her shoulders in apathy and asks the respectful question out of duty, "Zou didn't happen to get his dogtag, did zhou?"
Dastl looks over the troopers, Spread out, keep zour intervals, Ve don't want one grenade to take out a squad!!!! Look across at that hedgerow... it isnt our f?$King objective, the damned middle is... Set the MGs to the left and right. Get us a sharpshooter or two to the front and take that bastard out! She then turns to the PCs and an NPC officer or an experienced Sergeant, Ve can probably fill the area vit smoke and sneak in and set up the transmitter...
Turning to Roy, Lets low crawl to set the maschina up, before we do we pop smoke, which gives us cover to run back to a more defensible position. These two pointing at the other two soldiers move to the left flank and initiate contact upon unser hand signal, ve set it up, and make it back.
"Well, I thinkz our best bet is to sneak in as far as we could, pop smoke, plant the transmitter under the concealment of the smoke and crawl back to the fence and hope ve can hold the position till help comes..." she says to Roy mostly but also to the other troopers there. Roy, troopers any suggestions?
Perception to see distance and alternate approach routes
Margit scratches her chin with her pointer finger, Zheems ve could pop zha smoke and set it up in zha confusion or ve could ambush zheir ambush, she says thinking out loud. Turning to the other troops accompanying Roy and her, "How many smoke grenates do zhou have?"
After hearing "friendly fire" Margit walks over to Roy and says "Sorry about zhat." After seeing its ok, she says, "Well fellas, ve needs to unass this place before zome faschistic Prussian heard what just happened and tries to finish zhe job." Perception to see any important landmarks.
Perception to see if there are anymore enemy soldiers in the area. If it is relatively safe, Margit will move towards Roy and say Flash in what my old top would call a shouting whisper. If not she will attack the closest enemy with her grease gun , , for , , .
What happened to Roy?
Margit takes a quick swig from her canteen and continues to the strike zone.
After five minutes of waiting she then continues back towards the direction of the strike zone, trying to be extra careful not to be detected and doubling back to catch would be pursuers, until she sees an ally soldier, French citizen or an enemy column. Perception
Margit looks through the dead bodies looking for a German ID card, 9mm ammunition for her modified Grease Gun and anything for alchemical things like a flask or Stielhandgranaten(stick grenades) and some Reichsmarks, too.
She then goes in the direction she ascertained from before where the DZ should be or the strike zone should be and sticks to the forest running first until she is into the forest and then doubles back a slight bit making sure she isn't followed. Perception on being followed
Margit then switches to her Grease Gun and lets off a controlled burst ,, for ,,
Margit tosses another hand grenade which does , location of it landing if missed is
Round 1 Margit swears at them Ihr seid Dreckschweine, und werdet in Kuerze sterben!!!! She takes aim with her trusty .45 and sends a round at the closest soldier downrange doing a Round 2 She takes a quick peek at her wounds and fires another round in the direction of the enemy with her pistol, if the one is now dead she attacks the other doing
Stealth
Dice for
Initiative Knowledge Nature for finding cover behind a tree, rock or hedgerow She gets behind the cover and prepares one of her pineapple grenades and cocks the hammer of her pistol.
Margit takes in the scenery a bit too much and doesn't bend her knees properly enough to execute a flawless PLF and bangs her elbow in the while trying to slip out of her harness. So ein Mist, She then rolls up her parachutes and gear and digs a hole with the shovel, and covers it up with it. She then slides the shovel somewhere she can hide it easily. She then assembles her weapon, and slings it over her shoulder. Knowledge Geography Perception She whips out her compass and takes a quick bearing in comparison to the local landmarks and the scenery while she descended and has a very good idea where she is in relation to where she should be and pauses for the sound of anything out of the ordinary. Once anything passes her by, she then moves carefully and quietly not trying to invoke either the enemy or friendly fire. She keeps her pistol at the ready with one round in the chamber and seven in the magazine.
Margit fluidly takes her chute's carabiner and hooks it to the plane's static line with a professional's precision you can tell this isn't her first combat jump, she smiles with glee and excitement. When the Jumpmaster screams Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! She waddles to the front of the plane and holds onto the edges of the door just before her "Go," takes a quick moment to admire the skyline and steps out into the sky as her body is taken by the wind outside. But it is quick however as she her body makes its way to the end of the static line.
Wouldn't a reflex or fortitude save make more sense? Unless you are rolling for random snafus like caught in a tree, stuck on a church steeple or landing in a pond. Which could fall anywhere between deadly and completely absurd.
Margit chuckles to herself fully knowing that jump order and survival is irrelevant. Fellas, make sure zhou drop zhour kit bag before zhou land or zhou'll break a femur. Breaking a femur in Nazi occupied France is the vorse ting that can happen to zhou
Once in the plane, Margit starts singing Blood upon The Risers... He was just a rookie trooper and he surely shook with fright as he checked all of his equipment made sure his pack was tight he had to sit and listen to those awful engines roar 'you ain't gonna jump no more' "Is everybody ready?" cried the Sergeant looking up,
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
(I will skip a couple verses) The ambulance was on the spot, the jeeps were running wild,
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
He hit the ground, the sound was "SPLAT", his blood went spurting high;
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
There was blood upon the risers, there were brains upon the chute,
Will Margit puts her Corcoran Jump Boots and the rest of her gear on, she then helps any of her more groggy compatriots with their gear. Then she does a quick jump test to make sure nothing is over rattly, and securely fastened. Afterwards she waddles her way to the C47 with a glimmer in her eye, a stone in her gut and excitement everywhere else.
Margit nods her head and then spends some time sharpening her bayonet and pen knife before hitting the proverbial hay.
After slowly rising and seeing the Captain, she asks, "Sir, I vas vondering if supply vas able to procure the AP rounds for our .30-06 rifles. Zhem could be a lifesaver in zha field." Those rounds can puncture steel plate and we could sure use them against zhem bunkers
After her being dismissed, she sees the others milling about evesdropping and she says with a large $-&t eating grin, "Zhu want to have an esprit de corps, kampfgeist, or whatever... Ve're all doing pushups for the All American Division" She gets down (with the rest of the group) and does her 82 pushups with an additional clap at the end, chanting "A is for Airborne, I is for in the sky, R is for ready, B is for born to die, O is for out the door, R is for ready, N is for never quit and E is for everyday." By the the time she gets B the entire group is chanting in unison, they repeat that for the whole ordeal. She gets up and says solemnly "Vone more for the paratrooper in the sky" as she points up making the veterans remember the jumps in Sicily and Salerno and their fallen comrades. And she gets back down again to the last one extra slow. An Dich errinere ich mich, Johann und der Laboer Einsatz( I remember you Johann and the Laboe mission)
1st LT. Margit Dastl waits for the rest to clear the tent and speaks, "Sir, vith all due respect. Whether zhu like it or not I am an officer in the US Army and have been such for two years and have served with distinction during said time, and according the UCMJ am allotted the rights listed therein. I was not acting in an insubordinate manner. It is, of course, inappropriate to speak to a commissioned officer like that in front of the troops. Major, I hope we can work together to take down the damned NAZIs."
Dastl looks at the SGT. and says,"I want to see 82 pushups for our mother division and then report to Master Sergeant Jones at battalion mess with zhour penknife for the potatoes. Understood!!!"
Dastl frowns at the insubordination, "You may not be up to this mission joung man, cuz zhur eyesight and zhur hearing's be lacking, obviously, I itdn't a sir! If by God you mean Austrian, zhu've got the correct voman." She takes a breath with McGregor at Attention and says, "I can either Article 15 zhour ass or get zhou doin' KP, zhour choice Sergeant."
Dastl turns around to look at McGregor and says, Soldier, is that a way to address a superior officer? Zhu better git your gear squared away right quick and quit bad mouthing zhur betterzzzzz!
Have to establish authority, I know the army is desperate for interpretation help but to stick me in a platoon as CO, strange, at least I'll get to earn an official mustard stain instead of all of the unofficial ones I cannot wear on my uniform.
Verflixte Scheisse, says Dastl to herself as she undoes her harness to stop waddling around uncomfortably. She looks at Johnson, Seems you've been in England too long, picking up the vernacular and all... Gerries none but a Tommy would call the Preussen a Gerry...
When do we start heckling each other? |
