Say, if Maldorians doesnt appear in the next hours, can I just RP my men slaughtering his?

Yeah, I guess, but chances are I'll pull my men out and move them to the better fortified city of Bayeux (one of the TOP obejctives of the forces landing at Gold Beach) or Isigny-Sur-Mer (and fight the Yanks)...

Ok, i got Whermacht covering Omaha and i'll have some on Utah too...

See? You'll probably get together again later on, that or a nuclear holocaust on both your countries :)

Mind if Yoder or Ferguson runs into Bill Thompson?

And what (reletive) location are our troops fighting?

I know you are attacking a villa, and I'm attacking a town, but how far are these units? (a direction or even the names of these places would be nice)

NVM
I found the map (http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g238/Justin1218/CloseupDday.png)

And then I found out what happened there in real life (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Br%C3%A9court_Manor_Assault)
50 german soldiers and 4 105 mm howitzers. V shaped trench. 3 MG-42s.
Against 13 Paratroopers with 2 Machine guns.
Allies took 4 dead and 2 wounded.
Axis took 15 dead, 12 prisioners (these prisioners where reportedly shot)

Wonder where the good Lt went... oh well, in this story I guess his plane crashed, leaving us to do the job.

So I guess that would set me on the south-east end of Sainte-Marie-du-Mont.

The farm appears to be labeled "Holdy".

Bump....

Ok im here

:( :( awww. This was my first rp and i didnt even get to fight back

Ah, dont worry, I've left the town after succesfully defending it :D

Aww Dammit im pissed off

OOC:When's D-Day and do i need a new squad??

You did fight with honor and still got afew guys, those Germans had to move on to their next objective...the invasion landings have almost started..

No i mean 4 guys died so should I give them new names?

How many guys you got left? i don't really understand what your saying..

I had 8 guys
4 died their namesDickey, Wes, Banks, Jay
Should I rename them for the next battle?

is the landing ready yet?

I had 8 guys

Just RP your guys hiding until they find reinforcements, or wait till' D-Day is over and report to an HQ.

The Canadian's and Brits will be moving in near your location but further up the coast the Americans will be landing at Omaha..but id' suggest you don't go near the beaches untill the invasion is over, you would be crushed by retreating terrifyed German troops just wanting to get the hell out of there.

Just have your guys relax for a bit, the beaches won't hold long...

Should they occupy Cussy, its empty

Reallydrunk']Just have your guys relax for a bit, the beaches won't hold long...

But I certainly hope Bayeux does... you know, because my guys are there...

Sure, credit yourself with capturing a town...Germans will be retreating that way aswell but they won't be stopping any time soon lol

:) Bayeux is safe for a bit..

We'll need some ppl to Rp as the allies comming in....

wow, Bayeux is a town? or what?

Just waiting to see how the germans are reacting in Du Mont before i seal the deal heh!

The World Soviet Party where are your men going?

My men left Cussy in an Opel Blitz Truck, they are headed towards Bayeux, a city near Gold Beach, and a important objective as well...

Then, if things get too messy, we'll head towards Caen.

@ Hurtful : After your last post you are in Du Mont? Linking up with the soldiers there (including mine)?

Yes

(I really needed to pin down my guy's location so I flipped a coin and looked at what made more sense)

I don't know how you'd react to Ferguson test firing an MG-42 in your general direction (but at the ground) would do, but I could guess your men wouldn't be all too happy about that.

Anyways:
What condition is your unit in? (couldn't find their stats and too lazy to go over 11 pages to manually calculate everything [and even that may have mistakes])

OOC:When are we doing D-day?:sniper:

Airdrop was on D-Day minus 1

Landing was D-Day

We've RPed a day from the looks of it, so those 105 mm guns will start shooting at you soon enough, then us crazy people who jump out of perfectly god planes will have to silence them.

Them Naval bombardments and bombers would be due about now

(The shells where alluded to in the Miniseries "Band of Brothers" [episode "Carentan"], think of a
much bigger, louder and closer form of Sputnik flying through the sky like a plane/rocket and you get the unearthly concept of watching those shells sail over your head.)

12 Men - 1 dead = 11 men in my squad.

Allies at Du Mont = 1 Company (Fox) and various squads, about 2 not including mine | Just about control the town, Germans surrenduring. Ill update my Squad Roster after the town is in full control.

I'd like to join!

I shall be a squad of the Milice Francaise, just arrived in Saint-Marie Du Mont to support their German allies.

Lieutenant Le Zouf, member of Accion Francaise, committed Fascist. Webley mk IV revolver.
Adjudant-Chef Groscin, member of Accion Francaise, Sten mk I.
Caporal du Bois, Sten mk II
Gendarme Pucheau, member of Accion Francaise, Lee Enfield
Gendarme Botoin, Bren gun
Gendarme "Le Cochon", member of Accion Francaise, Lee Enfield
Gendarme Joile, member of Accion Francaise, Lee Enfield
Karl Steiner, member of the Gehieme Staatspolizei, Walther P38, MP41

All the Milice have hand grenades and spare Bren mags, as well as spare magazines for their own weapons. They have arrived in two Citroen 15s, and are about to begin the process of rounding up undesireables...

The french didn't get the Lee Enfield.

The got the 8 mm Tube magazine blt action Lebel (7 rounds) or a box mag conversion that held 3 rounds, or the new MAS 36 which fired a new 7.5 mm round.

They also didn't get brens, they had the Chatuerluat (SP?) it looked like the Bren, fired the french 7.5 mm and had two seprate triggers.

(It was that or the 105 pound air cooled strip fed (not belt or mag) 8 mm Hotchis or 8 mm Couchat "Cho-Cho")

The French also had their own pistols and revolver (their ordnance revolver was designed to be fired from the officer's left hand as he carried a sber in his right), it fired a 7.5 mm not to be mistaken for the rifle bullet!

They also didn't get any STENs, they made their own Sub-Machine Gun, fired a 7.5 mm pistol cartridge and the thing looked wrong but shot like a dream.

"Undesireables" where rounded up in 1941 to 1942 for the most part, not 1944

Hurtful thoughts can u radio my squad cuz i want to do d-day but im in Cussy

The Germans are surrendering the town....id suggest Virville or Romel or Carentan..

Hurtful thoughts can u radio my squad cuz i want to do d-day but im in Cussy

I have no radioman, he drowned when the glider landed.

12 of my 20 man unit drowned, another 4 died in an ambush shortly after escaping from the sinking glider.

where are your men. I want to meet up with u if thats ok

Maldorians moving is risky...there are ALLOOT of Germans all around you...

United States of Brink the Germans in the town are preparing to surrender..

"Anyone on the radio, our squad needs aid"
^this was a whole post^

Detail, people...

Mention your location, your radio operator, your CO issueing orders to the Radioman, your radioman setting up and transmitting etc...

Compared to this one
Yoder noticed almost all the troops where retreating away from him, he picked off one German in the back with his rifle, then chased after them blazing away with his M-1911, he then dove for a nearby MP-40, he wasn't too sure how to they worked, but he could recognize a sight, cocking lever, magazine and trigger any day. When he pulled back the lever it appeared as if the round stovepiped, the bolt didn't close! (the MP-40 fired from an open bolt, with the charging lever held in the back by the trigger assembly)

He jumped for cover as he fiddled with the gun trying to "unjam" his new found gun, finally he brushed the trigger and a short burst of fire erupted on the brickwork in front of him.

"That was interesting..."

He loaded a fresh 9 mm 32 round clip charged and let a short burst go

"Huh, so that is how an MP-40 works..."

He then looked around, all the germans had taken advantage of the moment to withdraw, but he did see a sign:
"Sainte-Marie-du-Mont --->"
"<--- Hiesville"

"Not exactly where I intended to be (Sainte-Come-du-Mont), but at least I know I'm still in Normandy"
------
Stanley Ferguson saw a hotel, and an MG-42 layin on the ground, and heaven forbid, American troops! Reinforcements, they're saved!

He rushed the old german foxhole, and quickly checked to make sure the "dead" were really dead, then "inspected" the MG-42. (Keep in mnd he isnt a mahine gunner and therefore has only familairisation training with the M-1919 as the closest he ever got to an MG-42 before...)

He though the system looked familiar, like that of the M-1919, but many of the cams didn't look right, oh well, lets see if I can get this to work...

He loaded a belt, from the setup, it looked like a left hand feed only, then closed the cover, then charged the gun, he then took aim a a chunk of dirt in front of him and fired a very short burst.

He then rechecked the action, considered it that he "knew" how it worked, and then unloaded it, slung his garand behind him and then picked up the MG-42 to give to Henchmann.

After he linked up with these new guys first...
-Snip-

He's right, post a little about your surroundings and what not also..take pride in your work :)

Ste. Marie Du Mont is Secure
Linked up with Hurtful’s men

Woooooo! Panzers!!

Are they Whermacht or SS units? google search German rank structure...

I hope they are SS, they were better equiped and supplied :D

That would be nice, given the area i would say they are probably 2nd SS division...IF they are SS..

Wermacht FTW!

We are still accepting sign ups, feel free to post a squad and get into the action...

I'd like to join!

I shall be a squad of the Milice Francaise, just arrived in Saint-Marie Du Mont to support their German allies.

All the Milice have hand grenades and spare Bren mags, as well as spare magazines for their own weapons. They have arrived in two Citroen 15s, and are about to begin the process of rounding up undesireables...

Ste Marie Du Mont had fallen to the allies... :(

Im down the road trying to force an allied squad to withdraw from the villa, of course you could have your squad near by..it would help, the allies presence is great in the Ste Marie Du Mont area...

There is a German radio station near the villa which my squad will be moving to after we do our part at our present location...

your squad is accepted though

Ste Marie Du Mont hasn't seen the last of German action though..the defenders can expect heavy shelling in the near future, maybe even a counter attack.

I'd like to join!

Good, good, round up everyone at Cussy and have them shot for being spies!

(Only the allies, not the Panzer Platoon!)

A quick update on my men

Petersen and his 7 men are with Steiner and the Milice. The squad is armed as follows:

SS-Obersturmfuhrer Petersen - STG-44
SS-Unterscharführer Wunderburg - MP40
SS-Rottenführer Yuklig - MG42 (box ammo)
SS-Oberschütze Beckenbauer - Kar98
Schütze Gorobets - MG42
Schutze Gerasymenko - MP40
Schutze Zolyar - Kar98
Schutze Cheburko - Kar98

The last 4 men don't have the SS- prefix as they are Ukranian, and they have a Panzerfaust, sidearm and 3 grenades each (extra ammo as well for their own weapons). They are currently riding in a stolen van with Steiner of the Gestapo and some Milice

I've updated my tanks, they are SS, thought about it, but guess I forgot to put it down. Now, if I could get those ranks...

Also, may I get an update on German forces, so I know who needs help.

Ste Marie Du Mont needs reinforcement. If the allies use it for a staging area, then the Communications relay will fall. We can't let that happen!!!


Hey Reallydrunk? If we manage to "beat" the allies, could this end up changing history? Unlikely as that is, I'm just curious.

Well, some of the Germans get together, and we could push the Americans out.

Well, some of the Germans get together, and we could push the Americans out.


Right now, I'm defending a Villa just down the road from St Marie from an American squad. Once i'm done with them, I'll move up to help push them out. And if we lose? Make it a Phyrric victory for the counter attack.

You are going to need a lot of men. As of now there is a full Company of Airborne units as well as various numbers of troops coming and going as they regroup.

PS dont forget the Jabos........

We can do it!

We can do it!


Indeed. I'll use my mighty hammer of doom! ;)

We can do it!

Of course we can, we're defenders of la belle France. Our victory is inevitable!

And I make no apologies for having Milice men commit atrocities, none whatsoever. I will do more fighting though.

- Hello,that command HQ? Leuitenant-colonel Jeffrey S. Wilson here!

- HQ here.by god,we're sure relieved to hear from you!

- We got lost after we landed at Utah,and fought our way through with our two sherman firefly tanks and american half-tracks.

-What's your current situation?

-We've come to st. mary-du-mont,and advncing! we're expecting to encounter an SS force on the way....

Bro its a combat Rp not crimes against humanity.

Bro its a combat Rp not crimes against humanity.

Due, lay it down, that stuff happened and you know it, this is just an RP.

True, he got a SD guy with his men...

Sorry, I understand that it did in fact happen but i really would rather just not read about rape; i was hoping to enjoy a little combat RP is all.

I didn't see that part, maybe some summary executions are alright to Rp though...the SS loved it...well, some of them.

Brits start landing at Gold at 0750'ish...

Ok, who will Rp them?...there are the 105's at Brencourt Manor which the 101st easy comapny took out...who is going to to that?

UPDATE:

The milice have encountered US paras attacking the German held Villa near du Mont...

Lieutenant Le Zouf, member of Accion Francaise, committed Fascist. Webley mk IV revolver.
Adjudant-Chef Groscin, member of Accion Francaise, Sten mk I.
Caporal du Bois, Sten mk II
Gendarme Pucheau, member of Accion Francaise, Bren Gun
Gendarme Botoin - KIA
Gendarme "Le Cochon", member of Accion Francaise, Lee Enfield
Gendarme Joile, member of Accion Francaise, Lee Enfield
Karl Steiner, member of the Gehieme Staatspolizei, Walther P38, MP41

So, anyone up to RP the Brits at Gold?

are we gonna have some action here?battles would be nice

right,i'm gonna alter my squad a bit:

we have on 2 sherman firefly tanks
(17pdr gun,only british gun fullly capable of destroying a tiger,2x M1919Browning .30cal MGs,1x M2 Browning .50cal MG)

Action? The milice and waffen-ss have engaged the 82nd Airborne at a villa outside St Marie du Mont... Does that count as action? :gundge: :p

i'll charge in and save the 82nd with my tanks,and engage them from far off with my MG crew

If Hurtful doesnt reply some time today im going to take 2 sqauds and reinforce the villa

hopefully someone can RP the beach landings

I'm a british squad,but I landed with the yankees at Utah

I'll RP the landings. And if Titawon doesnt reply today, can I just RP his squad being killed by the grenade I threw at them?

Titawon will be back soon i would imagine...go ahead Rp the Brits too...

right,i'm gonna alter my squad a bit:

we have on 2 sherman firefly tanks
(17pdr gun,only british gun fullly capable of destroying a tiger,2x M1919Browning .30cal MGs,1x M2 Browning .50cal MG)

But the landings havent ended yet, thus your Sherman Fireflies cant be that much into France...

Plus, look what happened at the Battle of Villiers-Bocage...

200 Armoured vehicles (tanks, halftracks, etc.) against like 30 German Tanks.

Allied Casualties: 30 something Vehicles (including tanks)
Axis casualties: 5 Panzer IV's and 3 Tiger's.

Sorry, I was out of town for the past 3 days, doesn't seem as if I missed too much thankfully.

Tanks started showing up at around the 101st at about D+2

I will effectively be out of the RP in a week or two.

(More traveling)

The french didn't get the Lee Enfield...

The Milice did - the Germans equipped them with the weapons SOE dropped for the French Resistance. They also used a mix of French and German stuff, but mostly carried British weapons - Dunquerque and the defeat of the BEF was a goldmine in that respect.

"Undesireables" where rounded up in 1941 to 1942 for the most part, not 1944

Earlier, in fact - the Vichy government handed its Jews to the Germans in 1940/41. But this is a dictatorship, and there are always undesireables.

Hurtful you have four men moving onto the guns a brecourt? If so ill cut off my vill attack and help you.

well,i can't be all realistic,world soviet party.
IF i die,i'll just say Jeffrey S. Wilson (the person that i made up,taking my role as commander)escaped,hooked up with the 2nd armoured.then he charges back in again.

Hurtful you have four men moving onto the guns a brecourt? If so ill cut off my vill attack and help you.


Your choice, your men outrank mine.

Continuing the assualt on the villa would e lie pulling rank and forcing the squad to obey.

The CO changing his mind (in light of better information) after hearing their story is also an option.

Or, alternately, send Lt Winters over thre with 12 other guys and 2 Machine guns and chalk that operation to the history books.

Currently my men are standing point and moving to the villa

Oh, OK, I just thought you where being lazy and didn't want to use french weapons (or your believed their weapons infirior or something)

I wonder if I'll see a french tank with a russian tank gun on it in this RP...

French used the MAS, which is a very good weapon :)

French used the MAS, which is a very good weapon :)

http://www.davesguns.com/serverpics/UsedPage/FrenchMASEC19-01.jpg

Yes, the MAS-36 it was 7.5 mm, very good robust gun, made in mass quantity even during occupation. (It was cheaper than the Mauser and used existing stocks of French 7.5 mm ammo too, it was also the last french military bolt action rifle set into production) It served into the the Angolian war alongside the french Châtellerault light machine gun (MAC 24/29), also a world war 2 french gun. The MAS was then retained by French police forces for considerable time.

The initials MAS also could also reffer to a pistol (http://3dlm.net/article.php3?id_article=354) (MAS-35 [sorry, I didn't find it in english) and a submachine gun (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAS-38) (MAS-38), since MAS reffers to the location of manufacture (like "Springfield rifle" reffers to guns made at Springfield IL, and could reffer to anything between the M-14 to the Civil war musket, and the Krag, anf the M-1903 [almost all other places in America made .30-06 caliber Enfields during the first world war])

A not so good combat rifle was the Lebel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebel_Model_1886_rifle), it had a stiff action, tube magazine (try loading one with frotbitten fingers in a trench under enemy fire).

List of World War II firearms (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_World_War_II_firearms) (not complete)

Can i be in a landing?

Anyone want help from my panzer squad?

Not really, Hitler told you (Panzer resserves) to stay put.

Rommel says otherwise, but nobody hears him (Paratroops cut his wire).

But then again, what did he [Hitler] know about D-Day, he was asleep for the first day because he took horse tranqualizers to calm his nerves, if your little bit of mutiny saves the Fatherland then chances are he'll sweep that bit under the rug and promote you.

Anyhow, if nothing is there chances are you can make it back in time for supper and none need be the wiser, call it a "recreational drive" through the french countryside.

Anyways, mind helping the Shermans shell a particular Villa?

Hitler officially freed the Panzers to engage the Americans on D+3

Hurtful i make a post on the villa once we have that secure or what ever happens we'll move on to the guns a brecourt

Wait for the Villa's defenders to post at least once before attacking...

On other, unrelated news, Im still waiting for the Brits to land...

can i make a landing???

I AM THE VILLA'S DEFENDERS!!!! lol

Hurtful i make a post on the villa once we have that secure or what ever happens we'll move on to the guns a brecourt

Or we could just leave the guns to the history books and send Lt. Winters to take them (subtract 13 men and 2 machine guns for a day, losses of 4 dead 2 wounded)

Going into super detail over a battle consisting purely of 'extras' in the RP would seem a bit redundant. Besides, then you'd need to find someone willing to RP 50 germans who will most likely end up dead.

All that is required is a refferance to taking out the brecourt guns.

As effective commander of Easy Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division during D-Day, First Lieutenant Richard Winters was tasked to take on a battery of German 105 mm howitzers that were firing onto causeway #2 off Utah Beach. Some other units had stumbled onto the enemy position earlier in the day.*

*In this RP, it may be assumed that that was Mr. Richards and Yoder.

Any chance of someone RP'ing the Gold Beach Landings?

Else Im hopping in my truck and going all the way to the Villa, or back to Cussy...

Lt.winters - off band of brothers,right?

Ok, thats it, Im going back to Cussy...

Lt.winters - off band of brothers,right?

Actaully the guy really does exist, along withe the location and battle.

He is still alive last I checked. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Winters)

For all the attempts to show detail, they showed 88 mm guns rather than the 105 mm howitzers in the mini-series.

Of course he exists, he has a house near hershey up in lancaster pa. I actually read a biography about him called Biggest Brother, amazing guy but thats besides the point.

Just waiting for the mortars and MG to fire hurtful and than we can land a hurtin on those german troops.

Nobody in the Villa seems to be taking any hits from Yoder's M-1903 sniper rifle... (or for that matter appears to have logged in yet)

And I thought you brought the mortars...

And I can't go out on a limb and say Yoder just single handedly killed off a whole squad...
Can I??? Please? :D
----
While on this tangent:

I still say the MAS 36 and Berthier carbines were far more common Vichy guns than the SMLE (even with the loss of 90,000 guns at Dunkirk, this is paltry compared to the number of M-1903s used duruing WW2 [approxomately 3 million], and that was a specialist only gun by 1944, also, you may have guns, but no facilities to make .303 ammo). Along with the FM-24/29 Machine Gun (http://www.securityarms.com/20010315/galleryfiles/2100/2160.htm). I also dare to say that the MAS 38 was better than the Thompson, let alone the MP-40.

Small rant ahead:
-Also note, that the famouse MG-42, was a simplified MG-34, which was a modified Czech ZB-30 (replaced mag feed with belt and changed caliber [also note the bren is a sloppy copy of this gun]). While the above link states that the ZB-30 was inspired by the FM-24/29.

Therefore, the FM-24/29 is the father of the Bren and MG-42. While the FM-24/29 was a cheap rip of the M-1918 BAR which the americans made to replace the FM-15 Chauchat.

All of these machine guns (even the FM-15) where used well into the Korean war era. The MG-42 has been renamed and is now NATO .308 caliber, and the BAR was finally discontinued in favor of the FN-249 (those numbers look familar [which also replaced the M-60 which was a very exensive rip from the MG-42]) and the Bren has been dropped.

What a great history of French machine guns, eh?

Er right i would have, only about 1 light mortar...60 mm. Still let me know when you want me to open up with it.

That's more than they've got (plus I've got a bazooka, we can't fail).

French weapons Production:
LMGs
187,000 FM-24/29 (7.5 mm)
250,000 ChauChat (8 mm)

Rifles:
2,300,000 Lebel/Berthier (8 mm)

Now compare these figures to the 90,000 assorted british guns captured at Dunkirk.
(France had more FM-24/29s at that time, and it would be more feasable for you to equip you whole unit with LMGs that fired standard ammo than imported .303 stock)

Intentionally left out production figures for:
MAS-36 Rifle (7.5 mm)
MAS-38 SMG (7.56 mm)
MAS-35 pistol (7.56 mm)

I think I'll bring them to the Villa

I think we've waited long enough hurtful, give me the go ahead and ill start lobbing moratrs and we can retake the villa.

K, so, who's going to take the bullet then, or is the villa empty then?

Unless that villa was empty those bullets should have hit something.

Lucky me I wasnt in the villa =p

Lucky me I wasnt in the villa =p

Yes, I know, but it is odd that I knew that at least 2 german/french squads where inside when Yoder started shooting. And neither was willing to take any bullets (or they simply gave up the RP) an therefore both squads are now dead.

That is the penalty of leaving the game for extended peroids of time or intentionally holding up the RP for more favorable conditions/terms.

Both Wunderjar and Antigr had a number of days to respond (about a week) and neither was off the forums for more than 2 days at a time.

Pistols SMGs and carbines are your best friend...

Although I'm not sure the brits came up with the Firefly until later in the war.
I'll allow it since the Tiger will be more plentiful in this RP than in RL.

You may also try trading guns with our squad(s).

Wunderjar, I'm pretty sure you can play as another squad (perhaps a Panzergrenadier with Eriburn's forces...)

Chances are he'll hear us stupid Americans blabbering over their radios...

And there still is that french resistance to RP (they get to take Paris)

Just because you died (because of a technicality and everyone else's impatience, I've waited weeks for some people to reply at times [nomally in small low pressure RPs]) doesn't mean you are gone.

OOC:
Wunderjar is interested (I guess) in playing again as a group of Panzergrenadiers with Eriburn's tanks (which he'll most likely need if he plans on assaulting the villa).

Thread stalled on Antigr

327ths objective is now Carentan...
A little Southeast of my current location.

As the assault force approached the French coast, it encountered fog and antiaircraft fire, which forced some of the planes to break formation. Paratroopers from both the 82d and 101st Airborne Divisions missed their landing zones and were scattered over wide areas. For many the first struggle of combat was to find their units; 1500 soldiers from the division were killed or captured. When units or soldiers finally assembled, they had difficulty in identifying their locations relative to their objectives. The paratroopers of the 101st were promised reinforcements at dawn, when 51 of the division's gliders were scheduled to land. The gliders, however, had problems of their own. Many of the gliders crashed, and several soldiers of the division were killed, including Brig. Gen. Don F. Pratt, the assistant division commander. A second glider landing at dusk that day produced even more casualties.

The men of the division, however, persevered and proceeded with their assigned missions as best they could. By nightfall soldiers from the 101st had secured the beach exits in their zone and contacted the landing forces of the 4th Division. The SCREAMING EAGLES also controlled the la Barquette lock, but could not secure crossings on the Douve River. The following day 101st elements attempted to advance in the division's southern sector, but made little progress against heavy enemy resistance near the village of St. Côme-du-Mont. That same day General Eisenhower (picture above) directed that American efforts be focused on closing the gap between the V and VII Corps. The VII Corps received orders to capture the town of Carentan, and the 101st, already in position outside St. Côme-du-Mont to the northwest, was given the task

I might want to find more glider troops (hopefully with 75 mm howitzers and jeeps) before following Ike's orders to take Carentan.

http://www.101airborneww2.com/Glidermap.jpg
Note Marie Du Mont in upper right center (Right of "DZ C")
Also note that the map is in French.

The small black dots indicate landing locations of the 52 CG-4A WACO gliders of the'Chicago Mission', which landed 148 men at 0400 hrs on D-Day. The Red Triangles indicate landing locations of the 'Keokuk mission'. This consisted of 32 Horsa gliders, which delivered 165 men, including 6 A.T. guns of the 327th GIR at 2130 hrs on 6 June, 1944. Not shown is a WACO which strayed south and landed off this map below Carentan
...
The only sub unit of the 101st which sent a significant portion of its men to Normandy by Glider was the 81st AT/AA Bn. Their Battery 'A' was attached to 506th PIR, and Battery'B' also came in on CG-4As at 0400AM, in the Chicago Mission landings. With them came a total of 16 British 6 pounder (57mm) anti tank guns and their crews, plus eleven jeeps and two trailers of ammunition. The Anti Tank gun platoon of H&H/327th GIR, landed on D-Day evening via British Horsa gliders in the Keokuk Mission, bringing-in their 37mm anti tank guns

Any chance of getting in on this chaps? Looks quite good.

Sure.

There is an allied landing going on at the beaches, and the 101st is due for another round of glider troops (in Airspeed Horsas).

Most of the Allied forces being RPed are around a Villa and Sainte-Marie-Du-Monte.

Mal was somewhere called cussy, but I don't know where that is. And historically Ike orders me to take Carentan...

But then again, as the map I posted above shows, there are many other units available to encounter.

Most of the first German units to respond IRL were of the German 6th Airbone Infantry Division, Allied reports believed them to be panzergrenadiers.

In this RP we have a few rogue Panzer units running around, they they haven't done anything but burn gasoline trying to figure out where to go.

Happy hunting all!

I'll be making a post tomorrow..or later today (its like 12:30). Who all is still here?

Edit: Def Wintrees, get some friends as well.

can ALL of us come together in a big battle somewhere?

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been around. I think I've been gone too long to jump back in, so I'll let you guys have it. I do have a link for you all to check out though, its a region RP that you all might find intersetting: http://nseurope1943.s2.bizhat.com/index.php?mforum=nseurope1943 . I hope you guys decide to RP over there. See ya around!

Sure.


Mal was somewhere called cussy, but I don't know where that is. And historically Ike orders me to take Carentan...



Most of Mal's men got PWNED by me, then he took the town after I left, then a group of panzers and APC's entered the town and stopped there, Mal's men are hiding from them AFAIK...

Titawon it isnt to far along. Itd be great if you could stay.

That goes for anyone since it looks like prettydrunk has left to never return anyone interested just reply and well bring you up to speed.

something going to happen soon?i hope so

Im waiting for other people to post, get more people!

This Rp kinda died out, in my personal opinion the squads were too far spread across the map...

We need somthing more close like Stalingrad....

i was of one those in the last one as man form the big red one

Reallydrunk']This Rp kinda died out, in my personal opinion the squads were too far spread across the map...

Like I suggested?

Anyways, lots of the fighting didnt actually take place IN the city, but in the outskirts of it, only the first part of the battle (Germans Arrive) and the end (Germans Cornered) actually took place IN the city (Most of it).

I didnt die out, main people (like yourself) didnt post. We cant still pull it together, we just need more people.

yup

can i rp a alone soldier when it starts?

the thred is really dead. dum DUM DUMMMM

So, I set everything up to come together in Carentan, then leave for a week, and now it is dead because troops are too spread out?

Befre making such claims:

Chitzeland hasn't posted on Revolt and revolution thread for almost 3 months.

And it is still very much alive.

Mostly because me and the Parthians wanted to see how our battle(s) would end up, until Wanderjar and Pudu decided to get back in, followed shortly after by others

Most likely you are 'overheating' the circut boards.

Set max CPU temprature to about 70 degrees C (prefferably lower)

If this is the problem you may even see a blue error message with
VXD MSGR (SP?) in it.

Moral of the post:
The thread/world doesn't revolve around Reallydrunk, so don't blame him when it dies.

the world doesn't,but the thread sorta does actually COS HE STARTED IT AND IT'S HIS JOB TO KEEP IT GOING!!!!!!!!!!

sorry,just letting off steam

I beleived that threads never die, they only fade away...

And only when everyone lets them do so.

This usually happens when the firm footing of a player slips out from under themselves and they get ost in a flurry of posts; so then they inevitably don't notice when they are attacked and thus an entire battle containing many players is held up because of the lack of sad reply.

This has aleady happened, we already overcame that obstacle, Realydrunk isn't even under attack and you are claiming his lack of involvement has killed the thread. This may quickly be proven false

A death of a single squad didn't end the battle of Normandy, so why would the death of a squad in an RPed war not behave the same?

Especially whe you have the liberal application of NPCs and history books to keep the story moving even when you don't.

Nobody really RPed the attack at Point Du Hoc, Omaha, Juno, or Sword, and Operation Pegass has been almost completely ignored, and then there is the lack of detail on the units of the 327th brigade among many others.

These "plotholes" were filled in by refferances to historical events because it was NPC v NPC and had reletively little effect on the actual RPed aspect.
