Well, there's an RP me and my friends have ran for three years straight (or, sort of. It's been broken up between three forums now since we migrate a lot). Though it's a political RP, we have offered the option to play as single-characters and the likes for those who want it. Though, it's probably not built to be friendly towards them given the time-pacing of the RP (five pages = month) even if posting is slow and moves at its own pace.

Currently we're just entering the major war that was supposed to probably have happened ten years in its lore earlier. But if you want to RP soldier stuff and take some detail weight off the shoulders of us nation-types you're perfectly invited. We even have one other guy in the RP who's "basically army" (or ROTC at best, aiming for the academies after this year) so you should click/bounce stuff off of him. Granted this universe has gone the route of severe alternate history so despite it now being in the 1980's don't expect M1 Abrahms or learning to use computer-guided missiles; as a basis I'd stress most of the tech being built off of stuff from the 1940's.

Though the major boon of this one over what I see in a lot of other NRP's is there's less a focus on number crunching and number bashing and more an emphasis on story-telling factors. So we like to write more about what's going down on the field rather than a broader God-like observer of a battle at hand, which is an evolution in style that's been on going for the three years it's been mostly running. Strength and weaknesses are more arbitrarily recognized than what may be done in something like World in Revolution, but that's because I - and none of us in it - want to spend two weeks doing algebra to determine probabilities and then collecting orders and interpreting the results in calculations better suited for a PC game; we just want to write our stories. So I at least hope our RP - Precipice of War - is more fitting for singular characters than any other NRP.

You're just not in real-world conflicts here. So I don't know how the appeal would be for you.
