Back Story/Bio: Gunsō (Sergeant) Haruka Kazuko was a well-disciplined and trained Non-Commissioned Officer of the Empire of the Rising Sun. Born on Kyushu Island as the only child to a military family, his life was set for him to enlist. At 34 as of 1944 (who knows his age in this timeless realm?), he served as an infantryman on the Malaysian Peninsula, Korean Peninsula, in the Philippines, and also Manchuria. Sgt. Kazuko was last seen during the Battle of Peleliu Island, where he and many other Japanese troops were flushed out of the massive entanglement of caves and tunnels in a mountain by U.S. troops who flooded them with flames and ashes. Haruka ran into the jungle seeking to rally with his squad at a predesignated point, though after about an hour, Sgt. Kazuko was the only person of the squad to not have arrived...

Starting Location: Deep in the heart of Bervan Woods

Other Info:
-Haruka Kazuko, if I translated it properly, means Distant Harmony.
-Haruka is quite lonely without his squad, though he is accustomed to this, being an only child.

Road to Berlin

Name: Major Erik Tan

Age: 49

Gender: Male

Nationality: German

Bio:

Erik is a long serving member of Germany, and proud to be. At the ripe age of 18, World War One erupted, and Erik went to study at the Potsdam Kriegsschule learning infantry strategy and logistical warfare. Once graduated, Erik operated a domestic logistical command structure on the Eastern Front based in East Prussia; while in no danger, the pressure was still on to assist Austro-Hungarian forces fight Russian hordes day and night. Eventually, when the war came to a conclusion with the Treaty of Versailles, Erik was one of the few officers of the 22nd Army who wasn't relieved due to the crippling of the German economy. When Adolf Hitler ran for the Presidency of Germany, Erik was skeptical of his claims to return Germany to its former glory. However, when Hitler dominated the election and proceeded to reclaim old territories and re-mobilize the German Wehrmacht, Erik built trust for him. Now, after the Blitzkrieg of Poland, Erik is about to be launched into the fray again in the East, once again against the Russian forces, along with their many allies in the Soviet Union...

Personality:

Erik is a robust patriot for Germany who wants to see the long historical opponents of Deutschland kneel before the Fatherland. While this seems maniacal, he is also sympathetic, and believes in the policy of respecting the enemy. Take him as fair and just, but wielding an iron fist. He is also very conservative of resources, and hopes that his support will be put in efforts that will have a lasting effect, and will not take kindly to lost materials.

Appearance:

Equipment:

-Standard Issue Wehrmacht Offizier Uniform (Major)
-Walther P38
-Binoculars
-Map of Southwest USSR marking roads, rails, telegraph lines, and other strategic targets.

Other:

Erik is usually seen with a Radio Operator, as it is crucial to maintain lines of communication throughout war, as to better supply the front. Otherwise, he will commonly be found at the Forward Operating Base or Command HQ of the sector, organizing supply lines and such.

No it's fine, I'm just adding bits and pieces to the company tab and wanted to make sure I had the rank right.

As your the logistical side of thing, it makes sense that your character is handling other areas of the advance - not just our AO, so his rank is logical.

The way I've set things up, is that the various platoons/groups will directly call your logistics HQ for whatever support they require.

To make things fun for you, feel free to create NPCs that might give you an "up front" feel of the situation, such as truck drivers who have lost their vehicles and are caught in the crossfire.

Another point of interest is your combat engineers, or pioneers as they were called; they performed various roles, from flame throwers to bridge builders. In an action role, their expertise might be employed to crack open an enemy stronghold with high explosives.

^ Just a few thoughts for you.

EDIT: Not that I'm trying to tell you how to play; your Major can personally spearhead a charge of culinary cheffs armed with rolling pins for all I care. Just so long as you full-fill the logistical side of things, then that's all that really matters. This is a casual RP (I think the GM said?), so there's no need for full on military realism - and to be honest, I've been winging things this far as it is :P

@Frengo

I did think of some of those ideas, though I had completely lapsed the Wehrmacht Pioneers, thank you for reminding me. I will most likely throw posts in during the roleplay from various grunts on the field relevant to my command structure.

No problem, I'll update the company thread.

Am I right in thinking Erik is a Major?

@Frengo

Yes, he is ranked at the well named German equivalent to Major: Major. :) Major just seems like a good position for someone in charge of a crucial link in the war effort, it's not like I'm trying to out command the captains or anything.

Is that right that you'd like to control Panzergreandierkompanie B's logistical wing?

EDIT: Anyone involved with the company can sub to this thread as a way of easily accessing the "Company Tab":

@Frengo

Yes, I suppose I did forget to mention that didn't I? :P

Of Mice and Men and Zombies

May I still be allowed to join? Just curious before I spend time into my CS.

Tactical Insertion: Breach & Clear

Were you guys waiting on me to post? My bad, I was hoping that @User would post about his man in the front's actions with Hayle before I posted the criminals' reactions to what is happening in the front and back of the bank.

But if nothing happens within say two days, I'll post some more criminal activity.

Tactical Insertion: Breach & Clear

@SheogorathYes, unless I magic you in some way that I must think of now. I'll say if I come up with one.

Tactical Insertion: Breach & Clear

@SheogorathI shall add you to the Platoon roster, note you will be the only member of Red Team as of now.
