Yesterday, June 6, 2009, was the 65th anniversary of D-Day. I thought, then, that it would be interesting to make an RPG off of the events of D-Day and Operation Overlord. This RPG is open for three people.

Application
Name:
Division:
Class:
Equipment:
Perks:

Division
Once a division has been taken, another person cannot take it. You may choose from:

101st Airborne Division (paratroops into Normandy the night before the invasion)
1st Infantry Division (lands on Omaha Beach)
2nd Ranger Battalion (lands on Pointe du Hoc)

Classes
Rifleman: Starts with your choice of the M1 Garand or the M1 Carbine, a Colt M1911 pistol, and two other items of your choice. Upgraded class is the Sniper, deadly at long-range and one-on-one combat.
Sub-machinegunner: Starts with the M1A1 Thompson, as well as a Colt M1911 pistol and two other items of your choice. Upgraded class is the Squad Leader, who can call down airstrikes.
Support Gunner: Starts with the BAR, as well as a Colt M1911 pistol and two other items of your choice. Upgraded class is the Machine Gunner, who can mow down enemies with their M1916 LMG.
Engineer: Starts with the M1898 Trench Shotgun, a Colt M1911 pistol, a satchel charge, and one item of your choice. Upgraded classes include the the Rocket Soldier, armed with a bazooka, or the Incendiary Soldier, armed with a flamethrower.

Items
First Aid Kit: Heal yourself or another
Knife: Better melee damage than the butt of your gun
Liberator Pistol: A very small pistol for melee encounters
Pineapple Grenade (3): Explosive damage
Smoke Grenade (3): Creates a cloud of smoke
Flak Jacket: Reduces explosive damage
Bouncing Betty (2): Explosive mines
Signal Flare (2): Can be used to blind enemies or signal to allies
Camouflage: Makes you harder to detect
Phosphorus Grenade (3): Creates a cloud of hazardous gas
Gas Mask: Protects you from gas
Shades: Protects you from flares
Bandolier: Allows you to carry more ammo
Molotov Cocktails (2): Incendiary, good against vehicles
Asbestos Clothes: Reduces damage done by fire

Perks
You can choose only two perks.

Stopping Power: Increases your firearm damage
Fireworks: Increases your explosive damage
Will to Live: Increases your health
Quickload: Allows you to reload faster
Trigger Finger: Allows you to fire your weapon faster
Safe Than Sorry: Allows you to carry another weapon in exchange for your pistol
Penetration: Allows your bullets to better penetrate cover
Conditioning: Allows you to run and sprint faster
Steady Aim: Increases your accuracy
Leadership: Starts you as a corporal instead of a private, allows you to command your men and have them fight more efficiently

(Hrm, I've seen that quote before, and it's used in reference for how the Allies would mass fire their bolt action rifles, in short, as a group, not the individual.)

Name: Greg Hawkeye
Division: 2nd Ranger Battalion
Class: Rifleman
Equipment: Scoped M1 Garand with Bayonet, Colt M1911, Knife, Smoke grenades (3), Rifle Grenades (3)
Perks: Steady Aim, Penetration

Name: Sam Miller
Division: 1st Infantry
Class: Sub-Machine Gunner
Equipment: Thompson Submachine Gun, M1911 Colt, First-Aid kit, Pineapple Grenade (2), Binoculars
Perks: Stopping Power, Leadership

Pointe Du Hoc

The call runs through the trenches: "Fall back!"

The bunker in the rear covers the retreat of the remaining Rangers, who take their machine guns and grab as much ammo as they can before falling back to the rear trench. The engineers, last to leave, lay mines in the trenches to surprise the Germans. The halftracks continue to pound the Ranger's positions with their mounted machine guns. As Cpl. Hawkeye continues to snipe, there's one thought running through his head: Too many Germans...

By the manor, a stalemate has occurred. Grenades lob about like a macabre game of hot potato. One of the halftracks comes along to reinforce the Germans. As the anti-tank man stands up to blast away the halftrack, he is suddenly hit in the head, falling dead. Sgt. Miller, leader of the fireteams, picks up his fallen soldier's bazooka and fires the remaining rocket, which misses. At this point neither side has any explosives, and flanks from the Germans result in fierce hand-to-hand fighting.

The halftracks approach the trenches, still creating withering fire, when suddenly one of them explodes into a great fireball. There's a whizz...an American plane! In the distance, American tanks and infantry stream through the bocage, destroying the remaining halftracks and mopping up the last of the infantry. The Germans are crushed in the center.

Of the 250 rangers who stormed the heights of Pointe du Hoc, only 90 remained able to fight. One of these was Greg Hawkeye, who later fought in the Battle of Brest and the Battle of Hurtgen Forest and was later promoted to Sergeant.

Among the three initial squads that came as reinforcements to the Rangers, only five men survived, including Staff Sergeant Sam Miller. He continued to serve in the 1st Infantry Division and fight for the liberation of France, was wounded at Aachen, but recovered in time to fight in Czechoslovakia when the war ended.

(Thanks for joining this RPG of mine...I know it was pretty short, but I don't think I could keep it up much longer, and I was planning to wrap it up eventually. For putting up with me through this whole thing, I have you guys on my "VIP" list, which means that you can reserve a spot on an RPG of mine that you want to join when I notify you beforehand about it. Again, thanks, I hope you enjoyed it!)

Ahhh, The Battle of Point Du Hoc. I was wondering when you were going to bring it up.

Man, I wish this had been a longer RPG because in my oppinion it was one of the best but I guess all batles have to come to an end some time.

SirNoobalot: You're not done yet. The ending is for Greg and Sam only.

Samdawghomie: Until next time...I didn't feel like extending it past the events of D-Day. If you have any feedback, let me know too.

The Kar98k's scope and ammo are incompatible with the Springfield, so you move on. The other rooms are deserted, and you don't feel like checking them in case there are any more booby traps.

You regroup with the rest of the squad and head to the nearby plaza. A fierce battle is going on, but it looks like the Germans are having an upper hand with a light flak gun tearing through the light cover your Allies are huddled behind.

A) Snipe them down with your rifle.
B) Use a rifle grenade to blast away the gun crew.
C) Take the long way around and flank them.
D) Other

actually, he was aiming at the vision port to kill the driver and the gunner, as both can be shot from the vision port in a panzer. This was remedied in later models

He did that in the beginning with his Thompson. When he was lying there shooting at it with his pistol he was doing it hopelessly, until the plane blew it up.

BACK TO THE RPG!
i choose B and D.


You see a squad member loading his rifle grenade, you mimic him and shoot at the same time, miraculously hitting the flak barrel at the same time the gun crew fired, tearing up their defensive line and sending shrapnel spiraling. The remaining squad advanced upward.

Climatic time in the movie. Btw, THAT SNIPER WAS SUCH A N00B! He got blown up by the tank! Aim down the tank missile launcher, shoot. BOOM! God...

Small-arms fire can't destroy a tank. Even if he shot a bullet down the turret, it wouldn't do anything.
