I'm still God.

Bio



If we are marked to die, we are enough
To do our country loss; and if to live,
The fewer men, the greater share of honour.
God’s will! I pray thee, wish not one man more.
By Jove, I am not covetous for gold,
Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost;
It yearns me not if men my garments wear;
Such outward things dwell not in my desires;
But if it be a sin to covet honour,
I am the most offending soul alive.
No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from England.
God’s peace! I would not lose so great an honour
As one man more, methinks, would share from me
For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more!
Rather proclaim it, Westmoreland, through my host,
That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart. His passport shall be made,
And crowns for convoy put into his purse.
We would not die in that man’s company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.

Please, do fix the bb codes. :P Also I can already see a tiny mistake: specialization can only be 1 thing, as it's called specialization.

I have read books and know quite a lot about the Soviet Union in general, i'm quite interested in their history. Especially during the world war periods. I understand that you're trying to do something alternative now, but I had not figured that out before. You can keep the historical inaccuracies if you don't mind them yourself. Its just not very appealing to me. Especially if you know that the Tiger I didn't appear on the battlefield till 1942 and the Panther did not appear on the field of battle untill 1944. So, seeing those mentioned while we're supposed to be in 1941 confused me.Edit: And I know this might be getting annoying, but the 16h rifle division did not take part in the combat operations around Novgorod and it certainly didn't liberate the city.


I know, but I don't really care about that. They were originally made in Novgorod which is why I chose them.

Waving a historical knowledge e-peen about won't do you much good if I know exactly what you're talking about but instead chose to just capture what I liked about the conflict, such as the tanks and such and put it in a situation/setting that I liked. If you're not interested -- don't post. Simple as that.
The internet gives and takes at it's whims, Runner of Nights.
Well, I was kind of going for an alternate universe with realistic tendencies in tactics, tanks, weaponry and the likes -- however if others feel that it is okay we can shove the date back to 1944 to make it more realistic.

The village is one that I made up -- I don't have an intricate knowledge of Russian (sadly) and cannot for the life of me read the maps from that time which is what actually made me just go for an alternate universe. It's a small city, about halfway between Novgorod and Leningrad, but since the fronts had already passed on the garrison was kept to be minimal as they needed all men to stop the Russian charge.

Historically, 1941 wasn't even relevant to the Russians pushing back, since they were just being attacked and mercilessly slaughtered by the blitzkrieg. The actual date of the pushing back is, as I recall, around 1943. But that wasn't even the time they pushed out of Leningrad, that was much later, I believe to be somewhere more close to 1944.

However like I said, we can push the date back as it isn't a big deal for me. I just don't want to be confined to roleplaying things that actually happened because that will get boring -- if you wanna read what actually happened you should consider just reading a book about it. :P
Yes, please.
Either that or Narutopedia acting up, it has it's problems every now and then.
I'm not ALWAYS dumb, you know. :P
It's just a tiny thing, really. But yeah perhaps it'd be best since others might look at it and not understand and copy it wrong.

I'm still looking for that radio man.
Glory to Arstotzka indeed, comrade. Kudo's to czechmate46 for using the concept of the CS sheet right. Nobody else did. :(

However Czech with a PPSH you would be an assault oriented role -- an assaulter is the correct terminology I guess.
Cause he's an idiot. :D
