The whole tank AS-11 recoiled to the immense blast of the 120mm HEAT cannon, as it sent another high velocity shell shireaking through the air to explod against the armour of the enemy S.P.G.
"Its no use!" Gunner Williams exalimed on the Challenger II's Intercom, "The frontal armours to thick."
"Thank you I am quite aware of that." Replied Lt. Jace from his perch on the turret hatch.
"Driver, proceed on a course to your left, Williams bring gun to bear on 90'. On my order aim for the crew compartment and fire."
"Sir, you really oughta batten down the hatch, you're gunna get your head blown off!" Commented the Radio Op, Stevens.
"I will be fine" He sighed, as rounds zipped round him and pinged off the tanks thick armour, seeing sense he ducked down inside and switched on the turret-mounted MG's built in camera. Scanning around he saw that the other tanks in his section were bearing.
"Fire!" He bellowed, this time the round smashed home, rupturing the weak crew armour, resulting in a catyclsymic eruption of flame and metal.
"Well done gunner, and Stevens, for Pitys sake get the other tanks back in formation, tell them to set course for 100 metres south-west of the bunker.

As the tanks maneuvered up the slight hill, there was a bright flash, and an anti tank missile flew out of the bunker, it winged its way towards the command tank.
There was a deafening clang.
"Damage report driver" The lt. Enquired.
"We're lucky sir, imapacted on starboard air intake, no serious damage"
"Okay. Thankyou. Switch on reserve air support."
"Already done sir."
"Well done." He nodded. "Well gunner, what are you waiting for smash the daylights out of that bunker!"
"Willdo sir."
"Oh and stevens, signal other tanks, say independent action with a mind to destoying bunker complex."
"Yes sir"

OOC: Fun to watch, is this open or what? Can we get some background?

(Yeah please do join in. Well background is, Hussariot is expanding across the world, but need more oil and fuel to equip their mostly mechanized forces. So, they have invaded the oil rich steppes of____ (Whoever chooses to play against me.)

OOC: Anyone?

OOC: People have nothing to go on. No background or unit descriptions. It's like an action movie with no plot or meaning. When you have a through description of what is the problem, and call out to the world, usually in a telegram, newspaper, broadcast..etc. people will respond and give their idea and maybe help.

Some telegrams are secretive and people aren't supposed to react to it. TG's are to one or more marked people. This is secret to all those who don't have it sent to.

Newspaper and broadcasts are open. This is how you announce problems normally.

Just give a background, your units, your mission. What its worth to the other people who help and something fun to go by. Usually people want active posters who are on and not 'new'. Though there has been many exceptions to this, often 'new' people who are old nations RPing with previous experience, but are taking a different tech level.

Many nations have this, but it doesn't mean we gain up in 'puppet wanking' either, just to let you know.

If your next post is on what, where, how and why it happened it could be done. Though your story is a 'Modern Era/Age' type already by being thrust right into the action with no background. Though all good 'Modern Era/Age' stories quickly give needed info and things away. (Also it doesn't close on a solid 'happy' conclusion, leaving the reader/RPer to create his or her own view on the ending for themselves.
------------

Basically fill it out a little more and your bound to get some RPers, if nothing happens write down a story and a problem and what will happen and then make a new thread several days or even a week later to do that. Well thoughtout RPs with active players and people are usually long with lots of talking and messaging between RPers with full details give before.

Here, allow me to give you a good example, its one by VL. An experienced RPer who used a model of the Queen Mary 2 for a terrorist RP.

He also gives pictures (a nice touch) and a complete detailed floorplan of every deck! I posted several pictures of my movements so he could visualize where I was and how to respond. Its a 13-page RP so far and still we haven't even gotten to the main battle. Fairly organized and active this is an example of a pretty good RP. Though far better and far longer ones exist.

(I don't want to send you to White Tower, lol!)

(By the way I used to be Kings Royal Hussars)
