Kulikovia
08-11-2006, 01:52
This is a World War II era rp. If you're interested, sign up here.
Takes place in May 1944. Hitler's armies are on the run from the Russian bear in the East and the Allies are sweeping up through Italy. Plans of an Allied invasion on France have been made and are still in preperation. Hitler's armies are still battle hardened and well trained and a tough fight is still ahead. A secret research facility in Emden, Germany is working on a devestating new weapon which could turn the tide of war back in the favor the Nazi's. A bold plan is drawn up by the British to destroy this facility before the weapon can be finished. It is a suicidal mission which seems impossible to accomplish. Will the Allies destroy this secret weapon? Or will they fail and the course of the war shift?
You can be:
British SAS
German SS
German soldiers
Scientists
Civilians
Dutch Resistance
Etc.
German SS for me,
I'll type up a charactor bio soon...

The Melehov's SS-Cossacks are here again! This'll be the third RP I play them with, if you let me join that is. Atleast Reallydrunk and Canadstein should remember these guys from Squad Based WW2 RP as well as from the Goodfather RP.
The 2.SS Kosaken-Kavallerie-division has been moved to Netherlands, and its near the city of Emden for rest and refit, after its last 9 months long frontline deployment in the eastern front. Terek-Kosaken-Reiter-Regiment 6 is camping near the city of Emden, and due the particularly high (in Western Europe standards) partisan activity it's being used in operations against them, as well as guarding important facilities such as couple of factories, bridges and railroad stations. 3rd Squadron is given the task of providing extra protection for the Secret Wunderwaffen Facilities. The facility naturally has its own garrison, but the cossacks bolster this force even further.
3rd Squadron's oldest platoon leader, Untersturmführer Pjotr Melehov, happens to be on shift when the unidentified enemy forces start their assault against the facility.
Pjotr Melehov has fought everywhere, and is propably the only man in the world to have earned The Order of The Red Banner and The Star of Hero of Soviet Union PLUS the Iron Cross' Knight Cross. He was there, when Zhukov gave a teaching to the Japanese in Khalkin Gol, deserving the Red Banner medal, and fought against the Finns, becoming a Hero Of SU. He switched sides with the whole regiment in summer 1941, and has fought against the Russians and Yugoslavian, Polish and Belarussian partisans ever since.
He is about 175cm tall man, quite muscular, bearded and scarred - all in all a rather scary looking fellow. His dark eyes, thick eyebrows and black beard give him a very Russian outlook. He and his men wear quite informal uniforms - some have Russian cavalry boots, some wear the German ones, in all lengths, colours and shapes, some wear helmets, some wear standard field caps (of all types), while the majority still keep their traditional bearskin Cossack hats. Melehov personally preferrs the light SS cap, as it is a rather warm summer, short boots, Russian cavalry trousers and SS-Panzergrenadier's camouflage jacket. His main weapons is the Russian PPSh41-submachinegun, but he has a Walther 38 in a holster too. He carries his grandfathers sabre when mounted, also. His men are mostly armed with submachineguns too, both German and captured ones. Some have rifles, and there are couple of MG42's also present. There are 24 men in his platoon, alltogether (OOC: Though I will not propably play with all of them in this RP).
These cossacks are seasoned veterans, not easily frigthened, but their motivation to fight till death against the Western allies is somewhat questionable. They don't feel like they'd be fighting for the liberation of their people when theyre stationed in Netherlands. Besides, when compared to the East, fighting these "partisans" of Holland can be considered more like a vacation than anything else, and neither the men or their leader(s) are expecting to witness any major fighting during the months they are to spend in here.
OOC: It would be great to have someone playing as the resistance fellows. They could start an actual battle, by attacking some cossacks or other german soldiers somewhere in the city, causing disorder and draving troops towards them, at which moment the commandos could attack. It would make some entertaining running battles around the town.

Maybe to ask questions about the men at the intersection. Joel is an old friend with Lin (the leader of Kengii's clan) so a meeting between them could be arranged, to discuss the matter?

I think it would be better if this RP was a "Squad Based" too, for as it stands now, no one can really get killed or seriously wounded as they play only one person, and getting him out of the action means pretty much getting the player out of the RP. If each player had a couple of characters, they wouldn't be so (understandably) unwilling to take any losses.
Just a personal opinion.

His father was a WWI hero, and Mills always wanted to continue in his father's footsteps, and become a hero himself. Before he was 19, however, his father died and left him alone in the world, for his mother had died when he was young. He signed up into the military the day after his dad's funeral, and he joined the battle for North Africa, and was soon recognized for having special combat abilities. He worked his way up through various special forces schools, until he was finaly declared "graduated" by superiors and assigned to this mission.
