I haven't seen many strategic military RPGs, so I'm gonna set one up. Rules are as followed:
1. Do not Godmod. This means that you cannot control the actions of anyone other than you, or NPCs you control. Example: "I choose to flank the enemy to the enemy to the right." ACCEPTABLE "My guys shot everyone in the head I win !1!!1!1one!" UNACCEPTABLE
2. Character sheets are to be realistic. Examples: Being a Second Lieutenant in the marines right at the start is unrealistic. That is a very high rank and is only achieved through officer training. Being a Lance Corporal in the marines right at the start is acceptable IF you have a backstory. Lance Corporal is not a high rank, and is not very important, but if your character has a reason for being promoted it is acceptable.
3. Try not to flame anyone. You will most likely go up against each other at one point or another and flaming "THAT'S NOT FAIR YOU CHEAT" is not cool. If you have a problem with someone's choice of action, tell me and I'll investigate further if it's possible.
4. Try to have fun.
Character sheet is next. Mine will follow, as I will be playing a minor role.
Name : Age : Nationality (Either American, Iraqi or Russian): Military : (There will be a list at the bottom, of militaries for the three countries) Rank : (I will provide a list of ranks in each military) Weapons : Leave blank. I will provide you with what weapon you have, based on your backstory and rank. If you have a specific kind of weapon you want your character to have (Rifle, Light Machine gun, Heavy machine gun) Tell me in the extra notes. Gear : Leave blank, I will provide you with gear. Bio : Not necessary, if left blank I will delete it from your sheet. Extra Information : Not necessary.
Name: Tray Dogenzaka Age: 23 Nationality: American Military: Special Forces Rank: Specialist SPC (E-4) Green Beret Weapons: (R)M24 Sniper Rifle (M) E-Tool Gear: Standard Night Vision Goggles, Green Beret, ammo pouch. Bio: Tray enlisted in the U.S. Army Special Forces program at the age of 20, going through the program and doing good until the SERE, where he almost cracked under the pressure, but managed to stick it out and continue the training until he graduated. Now a Green Beret, and the leader and sniper of his five man squad, Tray is ranked E-4, which is a specialist rank for certain Green Berets. Extra information: Tray is Six foot tall, one inch, and has a "clubbed" left foot, with a scar going from the left side, around the heel, to the right where he had to have surgery when he was born. He has learned to work through the pain, but an injury to the heel strong enough could make him unable to walk properly, or at all. His left foot has been broken 3 times, twice during his childhood and once in a recon mission to the Middle East.
That's mine, as an example. I will be using a program to decide what happens to your choices (If they succeed, fail, partially succeed, how much damage occurs to who etc).
Applicable militaries in each country:
America: The Army (Can be promoted to special forces), The Marines (Can be promoted to special forces). Russia: Russian Ground Forces, Spetsnaz. Iraq: Taliban, Iraqi freedom fighters.
Ranks in the American Army: Ranks in the Marines:
Russian ranks are very hard to explain. Under rank, give me the american rank you'd have in the marines, give me the weapon you use, and give me your combat experience and I'll assign you the appropriate rank. (They have different ranks for different weapon users. Private - rifleman Private - artilleryman and the such)
I can't find any ranks in the Taliban, or the freedom fighters so put what Marine rank you'd have and I'll know what command you have in that army.
Sorry for the long OP, but I wanted to make sure everyone understands everyone, and to make sure I understand everything you have to say. You don't have to be as detailed as I was, which is why bios are not necessary. Join up, I'll start with I have at least 3 people, and at least one person in the American army, and one in any other army. (Meaning I wont start if we have 3 marines, and no one else. But, should we get 4 people in the same army I'll go ahead and start.) Alright, lets go go go!
