Fun Fictional Campaign System - needs playtesting

First of all, thanks for the welcome, Herr Shorker. I am honored and looking forward to battling beside my comrades, Jackal and Phil. I was unable to get to the front during the pre-truce battles, but watched achingly from my living room as news reports flowed in on the developments of that phase of the conflict. I am now itching for the chance to bring down a rain of hellfire on the arrogant, warmongering PRRF; may they long burn in hell (or a reasonable facsimile thereof, depending on one's beliefs)! They get all the good world press, as evidenced by being on the cover of LIFE, for god's sake, while the peace-loving peoples of our great Shorker Reich are vilified, our embassies world-wide subject to attacks, our language, culture and customs belittled and mocked on American TV shows...I could go on, but you all know all about those things. It is time to show the people of the People's Republic of Rico what true men are made of!

Right On, Righteous Brother Dudes of the SR!

Rico, very nice, creative touches to this campaign, as always. Thank you for doing all this work (and naming a town after us!). And I agree with Nathangun, we need those national mods!

@Rico, you'll have to hand out the Ricoville mods for AAR's.

Go the Iron Fists!

This afternoon I managed to mod all the British vehicles that are available in the September 1943 period with the PRRAF Iron Fist insignia. I'll pop them into a dropbox folder tomorrow for the players to download and install if they so wish.

Below some shots from the latest exercises by PRRAF Mechanised formations (entirely defensive maneuvers of course, as a deterrence to any future Shorker Reich aggression) :D





 
Ok, I think I got most of the rules figured out -- now just need to type them up in a simple & coherent first draft so we can get started some time next week.

Also ... this morning... got bored with the plain, vanilla Marder II's that I was killing @Nort 's Shermans with in a CMFI battle -- so added some extra home-spun camo to it ... doesn't look too bad -- this modding malarkey is damn tricky stuff.

Shorker, does the Shorker Reich have an official insignia different from the one above? I'd like to mod our vehicles and some helmets to add our insignia, like Rico has done...if I knew what the official one was!


Also, has it been officially determined that we will be using CMFI/GL for this campaign?
 
Say Rico, shouldn't each country have a parachute division too, or at least a para regiment? It would add a whole new dimension to the campaign to be able to threaten or actual conduct a para operation to support an attack. And even if that type of operation would be a little too much hassle to deal with (abstracting the airborne lift, etc.) it would be nice to have them for straightforward infantry warfare.

Yes --- CMFI/GL, September 1943.

I don't see why not. :)

@mjkerner

Yes, you may mod your units of course. @Rico has the insignia. ;) I for one don't want to change my units - but that's everyone's own decision. :cool:
 
Is the insignia the one I posted above, though? (Underneath it in Rico's post, it said it was not the official one.) Being a good citizen of the Shorker Reich, I would not dare to use an unofficial one. The Gesta....er, the friendly Stats Polizei, that is, might frown on it. I was going to make it a mod pack for our side for whoever would like to use it.

I made that insignia as a suggestion during our first Rico-Shorker war campaign ... added it to a few vehicles ... @Shorker wasn't too keen on it (can't remember why :)) -- @mjkerner -- feel free to design a new one?

 
@Rico don't be disappointed - I just prefer the original national emblem of the Wehrmacht more, that's all. And I'm doing mods here and there to my vehicles on my own and it would make too much confusion with all that different versions. ;)
