Boom!

Half the party is carousing too hard after the radar site raid; the other half is gathered up to spend 3 weeks humping thru the Scots highlands in preparation for...another raid!

Things go bad for the party on the flight over when our pilot Meryl crashes the plane in a mishap - the party is dead. Or is it? After an hour of laughing over exactly what Meryl had done, the DM notices COMMON SENSE listed on her ADV's. Ok, we don't die.

Right after that, we get shot down over the drop area. Hard landings seperate the party, who then set out to destroy this French (France! Again! We thought the target was in Norway!!)dry dock. Sean manages to throw more grenades , and the Unknown Soldier yet again charges a MG.

Extraction becomes impossible, and the party sets out to evade and escape, only to run into some Kraut armored cars. The adventure ends with the party in German custody (and the Unknown Soldier in the corpse heap) when an explosive-ladened Brit destroyer goes off aginst the docks.

BOOM

Shit, I had got a PzIII

You're a German Tiger Tank (Panzer VI)

You were the backside punter of battlefields. When
and his crew drove you around like the
blood-thirsty aryans they were, you blew up 273
american/soviet armor units on your own. All
that thanks to a big ass cannon and a
Berlin-Wall thick armor. You did have some
serious drawbacks like costs of production and
complex maintenance but we can't really expect
something else from Germans. Conclusion: You
probably rule.


Which WWII Tank are you ?

The GM got the folowing, but disagreed with the description, although funny, so we changed it a bit.


You're a French Renault R-35

Surprisingly had the heaviest armor of any tank in the field, of the day. Qualified as a heavy tank when the Germans used mainly light and medium tanks. Defeated by the Germans, as blitzkrieg concentrated armor to defeat the spread out Renault.

Reign of Steel - Open Thread

2020AD Austin Texas 35years of machine occupation has not been pretty.
Most of the the tall buildings are rubbeled or partially rubbeled.
Everything else is a mess.
Camp maybery was hit with a tactical nuke in the early stages of the skynet attack.

the only 2 bridges left up are I-35 & Congress ave.
The Machines patrol the Austin area somewhat agressively, with HK Tanks, & Sensor Bots.
Popup Flying mines have been seen in the Maybery area to the NW.

HK overflights of the river area every 1/2 hour or so & an airattack base on standby @ Dell Vall in the SE. A new type of HK Supersonic Flyier has been observed with a carrying capasity of 20 Terminators.

THE TRAIN

First Post

Oohrah - let's get to it.


I'm in a GURPS campaign based on WWII. The party is based on an SOE team, altough we've fudged a bit. The DM is sticking as close to the historical timeline as possible.

Trust me on that, coz I tried to get the party to keep the Kraut invasion of Crete from succeeding as possible, and we couldn't swing it. We aslo sunk a couple of enemy ships offa Dakar and the cheese-eating frogs STILL ran, and couldn't complete the invasion.

I play a Welsh NCO named Sean Connery. Sean likes fighting, and throwing grenades. He has had a FEW mishaps throwing grenades, and still throws them. Of course, he also has the Overconfident, Impulsive, and Bloodlust DIS's. Hint, I won't be buying them off anytime soon.

I laughed my ass off when I read the sourcebook, and found that the Welsh were regarded as "dark and brooding madmen".

There is also an element of "wierd war" in the campagin, but I won't go into that for campaign reasons.

Russell plays the Unknown Soldier, a Dutchman disfigured in an early raid, who also happens to have Bloodlust. Trust us to go after prisoners :)

Meryl plays a female pilot who distracts Jerry with her "forward assets".

Laura plays another Welshman who prevents us from blowing up everything we run across. We were planning on blowing up the Eiffel Tower on a jaunt thru Paris. Well, shit, we HAD extra demo.

Alex plays an American liason officer who the rest of the party (errr, me) prevented from gaining Captain's bars in our recent trip to NYC.

Phil plays a paratrooper who redshirts with us, and wierd things just happen around him. For example, a dried up dude in old rags that smelt like myrrh just happened to stab me in the head once while we were in Egypt.

Anyway, we can comment here, but don't reveal any secrets.

Loose lips sink ships!
