If you are a fan of Warhammer 40,000 or Age of Sigmar, let me know. Maybe we can put together an RP. I play Ironjawz & Kruleboyz in AOS and Salamanders & Drukhari in 40K.

Bio
I am a veteran of the United States Army and the US Army National Guard. I spent three years on Active Duty serving in the 4th Infantry Division (Mechanized) at Ft. Carson, CO, and the 3rd Armor Division at Kirch Göns, West Germany. I spent 18 years in the Army National Guard with the 26th Infantry Division "Yankee" and 29th Infantry Division (Light), "The Blue and the Gray". I was deployed to Bosnia-Herzegovina with the 29th ID (L) in 2001 - 2002. I have also been reading military history articles and books since I was 10 years old. I do prefer Military Role Plays over all other genres, primarily because I have a vast knowledge of the subject including personal experiences. At the very least, my characters are always veterans.
I have been writing for pleasure for at least 35+ years but only got into forum-based Role Playing about eighteen years ago. I do enjoy Nation Role Plays and get into minute detail when designing my military. The only reason I enjoy excruciating detail in my militaries is because for me, it is fun. My education and experience on this subject afford me the insight to see the depth of the structure. It is not just a General and a large pile of soldiers. If someone wants assistance in designing an army, navy, or air force, please send me a PM. I will help. Please specify what level (echelon) or depth you would like me to go. When I say echelon, I mean Army, Corps, Division, Brigade/Regiment, Battalion/Squadron, Company/Troop/Battery, Platoon, and Squad/Section.
When I was a student in High School, I used to play Dungeons & Dragons. Recently, I have been DMing a 5e campaign of my creation for my son and his friends. 5e is so much less cumbersome than earlier editions of D&D. I do have an interest in Tolkien-esque fantasy-styled Role Plays as well. Time travel has always been a fun genre for me, but to do it well, one must have a firm grasp of historical facts.
There are only a few fanfictions I will participate in; Star Wars and Star Trek are two of them. I want to do an exclusively Klingon RP one of these days. I also avoid Canon characters.
I have real-world martial arts experience. I would love to write an RP about hand-to-hand combat, no fantasy magic chit, just hands elbows, knees, and feet. Maybe the occasional head butt thrown in to mix things up. I trained in Krav Maga for six and a half years. I earned a first-degree black belt in Krav Maga on 3 June 2017.
Krav Maga is an Israeli martial art form that employs practical self-defense techniques drawing forms & techniques from Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Taekwando. It is very brutal, demanding, and aggressive. During the seven years I trained, I have bruised two ribs, sustained several muscle pulls, and various lacerations and bruises over my body. I have received a sprained ankle and a fractured wrist. Before the first black belt test, I received a bone bruise to my right shin; where my roundhouse kicks impact. Yet, I am stupid enough to continue training. [Regardless of the physical pain, it is more fun than any other physical activity I have engaged in. Fortunately, the bone bruise healed up prior to the third and final test. EDIT: I did leave the sport over five years ago. :(]
Over two years ago I completed my first novel, a science fiction set in the 24th century. It focuses on a Private Military Corporation solely employed by the earth government. I started a second book in November 2022 and hope to work on that this summer when I have more time.
Send me a PM for a Role Play or if you would like to see what sort of an army I could build for you.
--Gunther (AKA: Old School)
Character Summary
Name: Gunther Aliases: Landain Age: old (I was around when George Washington was a Lieutenant) Birthday: August 12 Ethnicity: French, English, & Seneca (Iroquois Confederation) Location: New England Gender: Male Higher Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science & Associate’s Degree in Criminal Justice Occupation: Substitute School Teacher Languages: English, Spanish, German & a little French Years RPing: 18 Preferred RP Section: Advanced or Casual RP Level: Advanced Dedication Level: Moderate Biggest RP Pet Peeve: People who do not communicate with the group and drop. But then, if someone loses connectivity for an extended period, there is no way of knowing. Teach New RPers Or Coach New GM's: Yes
Appearance
Height: 5' 10" (I shrunk!) :( Build: Medium Eyes: Blue Hair: Dark Brown Skin Tone: Moderate to tanned Tattoos/Scars/Piercings: no tattoos or piercings. 1.5” Scar on the back of the left shoulder (dog’s tooth); 5” scar on left wrist (fracture repair procedure); 0.5” scar on the left knee (rock strike) Personal Style: Jeans, T-shirts, and sneakers, wearing a ball cap. Three of my children have their own cars. Image: I look like a soldier because it is what I know. I tend to wear a high and tight haircut. Clean-shaven, although I grow a beard in November.
Sexuality: Straight Relationship Status: Married with Children Personality: Gunther is conservative but flexible and objective. He attends Catholic mass with his family regularly and attempts a life free from sin. He can be a very moody person swinging from very warm, friendly, and extroverted to quiet and secluded. He hates winter; January and February make him very depressed. Gunther loves his children and would do anything for them and his wife.
Gunther is a morning person, but that comes from a life of serving in the military. He would rather go to bed early and get up early; prefers to exercise in the morning over working out just before bed. His chief flaw is saying what pops into his head unrestrained without thinking it over before letting fateful words spill out, full-fledged Gryffindor.
Habits: Smiling, unprovoked singing, talking with strangers & Coca-Cola Hobbies: Krav Maga, Running, Movies, reading, writing, Military History & Playing games with his children. Most recent hobby: Warhammer Age of Sigmar and 40,000. I have four armies; Two Orruk armies in AoS (Ironjawz and Krule Boyz), Space Marines (Salamanders) and the Dark Eldar (Drukhari). Fears: Heights, being alone, and not being able to afford a living. Likes: wife, his children, blue, 8, food, Military History, Mathematics, and well-written fiction – A Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones). Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, Science Fiction, War Movies, New England Patriots, San Francisco Forty-Niners, Boston Red Sox, Boston Bruins, Boston Celtics, board games, War Games (Strategy TB, rather than FPS), Romance stories, Action adventures, Fantasy, Sports stories and more…
Dislikes: Rude People, Liver, Socialism, Narrow-minded individuals, and Role Plays that end just as they are getting good.
RPs Currently GMing: None RP's Currently Enjoying: None Upcoming Works: Honchos on the DMZ; a story of Russian pilots flying MiG-15s during the Korean War.
History
What Brings You To Role Player Guild: There is a large community of writers here. I enjoy the hobby even though I rarely get time to participate. Currently, I try to limit my stories to one at a time. Unfortunately, I rarely find one I enjoy and others are willing to write in. When I do, they die way too early. Life Before You Came To Role Player Guild: It was very different. I don’t know how to explain it in just a few words or sentences. Life Since You Came To Role Player Guild: This is just a side hobby. I have many irons in the fire and this is just one of them. It has taken a back seat to my real life activities.

Quotes or Sayings: “Those who fail to learn the lessons of the past are doomed to repeat them.” – Winston Churchill paraphrasing George Santayana. “If you’re going to fight, fight like the third monkey on the ramp to Noah’s ark and brother…It’s starting to rain.” Theme Song: Warrior’s Call Advice To The World: Forgive the actions of those who came before us. Behaviors we consider heinous crimes today were generally accepted practices many years ago. Anything Else:
Speaking of mobile devices. I learned yesterday during a work conference that stepping away from the table and leaving your phone unlocked for your co-workers to fill your gallery with crazy selfies is just not smart.
Oh this is laughable!! A riot! A buddy of mine will find his wife's phone unsecured and he will make a post to social media as though he is her. Inevitably, I will find the post allegedly by the wife with her stating how absolutely wonderful her husband is. The comments are usually absurd and quite hilarious.
I will do up a Brigade Task Organization and where they deploy their units on a battlefield. I'll say we are conducting a "Movement to Contact" which is a battle drill intended to do what it suggests, make contact with the enemy. I've given the FA Battalion four batteries instead of the usual three. This is 24 guns versus 18.
Excellent Read on the IC. I finally got to it this morning. It is the last day of school before the holiday break. We are having the students write letters to soldiers deployed to combat zones. I'll mail them to some soldier tomorrow.
Here is the organization:
1st Earth Motorized Infantry Brigade
Task Force "ROY" 1-1 IN motorized infantry battalion (hovercraft) Task Force "MCCUSKER" 2-1 IN motorized infantry battalion (hovercraft) Task Force "COX" 3-1 IN motorized infantry battalion (hovercraft) Task Force "FITZGERALD" 1-10 AR armor battalion Task Force "COLLINS" 2-10 AR armor battalion 2nd Bn, 3rd (2-3) field artillery battalion (24x155mm SP) 1st engineer battalion (hovercraft) 901st heavy aviation lift battalion (VTOL) 335th attack aviation battalion (UCAV) 145th forward support battalion Team "WRANGLER" reconnaissance troop (hovercraft) 639th air defense artillery battery* Team "NEWTON" military police company (Rear Security) Team "DILLON" long range reconnaissance & surveillance detachment (LRRSD) 3rd Platoon, 405th Psychological Operations platoon
Is our squad in one of the infantry battalions listed above? or in the LRRSD?
Same thing with the kind of guys that made resupply runs for the Air Cav or at Khe Sanh.
So I might play a mix of Forward Observer officers, pilots of airlift, resupply and combat aircraft and, depending on the region, this could involve naval gunfire as well.
Assuming this all works for you @Jaredthefox92, I am just brainstorming my thoughts here.
I was considering doing something with the 173rd Airborne Brigade. 1st & 2nd Battalions, 503rd PIR made the one and only combat jump of the Vietnam War at Dak To in 1967. I'm not interested in recreating the jump. But I will take 1st Battalion, 503rd PIR and use their assets to support your intentions. I could use a company or two to conduct area ambushes in an attempt to prevent the PAVN forces from finding your downed pilot. I could even use the 173rd LRRS-D to operate within close vicinity of the pilot to help cordon off the area and be prepared to conduct the actual rescue; assuming these "Sky Soldiers" don't get put into a position where they are the ones in need of rescuing. LOL
Here's a thought in determining things; work out the region of Vietnam and the time period. The border with the North is a very different animal than the Mekong Delta, which is different from the Central Highlands and so forth. From there, we have a much better idea of what the force mix might look like, since ROK and ANZAC forces, for example, operated in two very different spheres.
Oooh! I once read a book on an Australian Battalion sent to Vietnam. They were badass. I have very little memory of it. It was a very long time ago--35 - 40 years. I recall they had a high elan, similar to USMC units, 101st ABN, LRRPs or 173rd ABN. I do remember a description of a ROK (Republic of Korea) unit operating in South Vietnam. If a soldier fell asleep on guard duty, the sergeant of the guard was expected to execute the offending soldier on the spot. ROK soldiers were/are Rock hard!. When I was a Battalion staff officer, we had this young 2LT of Korean descent from California. His grandfather had served in an airborne unit in Vietnam with the ROK army. The 2LT told us, his grandfather had to complete 100 jumps in order to earn his parachutist badge in the ROK Army. He laughed at American paratroopers who only needed 5 jumps.
Vietnam is a war that was lost at home, not in the jungles of Vietnam. Most engagements the US were involved in, they won. The US won the battles, but the NVA won the war. It was simply unpopular because the American People viewed it as a revolution between the North and the South. The US government viewed it as a war of containment regarding communism; this is following the McCarthy era.
Honestly, bud. I would prefer US troops. You pick the fight, It is your RP. Do you want all of us in one squad (difficult) to manage and always seems to fail, or would you prefer we all take on different roles in very different organizations? That would hinder collaboration, but enable folks to employ much more creativity in their writing.
