I changed SFC Park's primary weapon from an HK416 to an FN SCAR-L since according to HeySeuss' timeline in this RP, Heckler & Koch are now producing firearms for the Warsaw Pact rather than NATO.


Yeah, pretty sure Heckler and Koch weaponry show up in the GDR arsenal. Odds are, so does the MG3. The 416 was designed with input by Larry Vickers, so I think that it's possible that another company worked up the concept. There's a bunch of them producing M4 type weapons with pistons or rotating bolts rather than direct impingement, so such a thing is possible.

@Byrd Man I love the
come-home-with-your shield-or-on-it type of operation
line. This made me LOL.
If shit gets bad, blend back into the countryside.

Sure, but we need to be able to work on how

Well, I was going for the default of just having my character be found along the way, but if there should be more to it I'll happily oblige.

Could easily work out that she's from another cell and moves over to theirs for some reason. We can create a casualty situation, like a firefight with GDR troops, that would make her a survivor looking for another unit.

@HeySeuss If someone would like to join the RP as a recently inserted member of A Company, 3rd Battalion, 75th Rangers, that would work. I might make another character along those lines. Of course most of the guys are very young; between the ages of 19 and ~30.

Not sure the Rangers would be breaking up like that though. I suppose if we decided that the Burlington raid went bad, sure.

Edit: And if that makes more plot sense, we can certainly have casualties from the Burlington Raid.

No, you're right. They are sure to maintain squad integrity after the raid.

I tend to watch the History Channel and/or the Military History channel quite frequently. I know, big surprise. I saw this WWII Veteran; former 101st Airborne Infantry and Bastogne survivor. After the 10th Armor and 26th Infantry Divisions relieved them at Bastogne, he read an account of the fight in Stars & Stripes where Patton's 3rd Army "Rescued" the 101st Airborne Division on the 26th of December 1944. He and his brothers in the 101 were offended by that statement. At no time did any of them feel as though they required "Rescuing". He adamantly stated they had a lot of fight left in them and could fight on. Also, he said that if they had eight guys in their squad, they were doing well, when the squads were authorized twelve. The guy said they were constantly being killed. They had cherries that were assigned to the unit in the morning and dead by nightfall. They typically had only four or five guys in a twelve man squad. So yea, these guys are going to take some losses. We may find a squad fragment; nothing more than a fire team working with the cell.

@Xandrya There's an operation on now, and it's entirely possible her cell tangled with East German infantry and came off worse for it. Perhaps wounded?

That'd give us a reason to get the Doctor moving.

Cool, please post the character in sheets. Might want to join the Discord, we have a lot of the background situation out on there.
Notes on the East Germans, the situation nationally in terms of US strategy for dealing. Stuff like that.

There is a small squad-sized firefight going on in the street outside Williston barracks. Casualties are happening. Don't get killed, Doc. ;)

@Xandrya I enjoy your taste in music, Hua! Smashing Pumpkins rocks and enjoyed some Suicide Squad; Jared Leto and Margot Robbie did very well in their roles.

In the first decade of the 21st century, I worked for a railroad. One time my train was on the main line approaching another train stopped in a siding waiting to head in the opposite direction. I got on the radio and sang your quote with my best James Hetfield.
...and it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel, is just a freight train coming your way
