The unit
British 7th Armoured Division, 11th Armored Regiment, D Company. You will be roleplaying as an entire squad in 2nd Platoon, total 7 men. The fate of your men lies in your hands, as you lead them through some of the bloodiest battles in World War Two, through the heat of North Africa, the Mountains of Italy and the Hedgerows of Normandy.

How your characters die
I can at some points of time "kill" your men. But dont worry they will be replaced with roughly the same type of weapons. Their deaths are mainly through how you manage your squad, if your crazy enough to do Patton-style, Run and Gun solo style most likely they will die and your squad will be weakened by 1 man and be handicapped with 1 man less until I say the squad can be reinforced. Another way for your squad to die, is basically becoming inactive, they will all die in a tragic death and you will be kicked out of the RP once your inactive and spot will be opened for others. However you may try very hard to keep all your men alive, but one way or another they might fall in combat, so accept it when your characters die and don't make such a big fuss about it, its war. ;)

Rules
-Be realistic
-No one word post. eg. "LoL."
-No Rambo Run and Gun style, this is not the SAS
-Do not whine when one of your character dies
-Respect all mods please :)

Vice Mod: Void Templar

Er, More to history please " Restriced under the Official Secrets Act" wont be accepted and please these guys are not gonna be SAS, they are normal troops from civilian backgrounds. And Bren Gun Carrier is NOT an infantry, you should have X2 Sten, X4 Enfield, X1 Bren.

I'm blanking on history. How about they all used to be workers at a mine? And were pretty much brothers before they were in their squad?

You can't blank out their history, its important to know. I judge how they die and react in battle on their history. You may write that all of them are brothers or cousins, although that in real life is almost impossible. If you have any questions ask Void Templar, im off to bed, 11.15 pm here.

That sounds good. It'll be interesting to see the death of a soldier in the squad on the rest.

Technically, its not alternate history. As long as the RP sticks to the actual history of the Desert Rat's, we aren't changing history.
