Well, if we're going to play this as slightly AU, (basically the same, but our actions possibly changing something) you wouldn't need time travel for an assassination attempt against Hitler.

Don't worry. If you need any real world reference, a thirty minute conversation with me should set you right. And I'm sure that I'm not the only history buff on this site, so you've got reinforcements.

Besides, messing a few things up keeps us guessing, keeps it fresh and interesting, so there you go. . .

Oh, WWII was one of my favorite wars to study.  There's a whole collection of TIME/LIFE books on WWII sitting on the shelf across from the comp at home.

Yeah, me too- I especially liked Patton and the Pacific Theater (where my Grandpa served as a machine gunner's sharpshooter), althought having someone you care about and realize that a statistic like "only 1 out of 4 marines that landed on that meach survived" means that when my grandpa landed on that beach, pretty much everyone he knew died.

Kinda takes the 'glory' out of it. But I'm still interested to learn everything I can.

My interests were mostly in the European theater.

Still, survival rate over there wasn't great either.

But I think we are focusing on the European Theater for this- although it could be expanded later. (I wouldn't mind assassinating some high-ranking japanese officials in Manchuria, myself) but we're going to focus on Europe- not the African Campaigns.

Just like in Shadowrun, the desert wars are just death fields.

No cover. Just lots of guys, guns, tanks, bombs, shells, and of course, the greatest and most lethal foe, dehydration and sun stroke. ..

... Yea, I think im the single least qualified person to run that sorta campaign. everyone else who wants to play is a history major.

my area of expertease: computers, Won't even come into play for another hundred years or so.

Unless ya'll want to be running in a compleatly fictional universe, with very little relavance to our own, using a messed up version of SR3, I'm going to have to suggest someone else take the helm of this one...

Uhh... windtalkers were only used in the pacific, and this is WWII, so I don't think there actually were any divers...

I'm thinking World War II Europa style- with a small crack commando group sent after some of Hitler's agents in wartorn europe.

There were divers during WWII, there was a daring raid by italian (I think) divers against british
warships in a harbor in northern afrika somewhere.

Wind talkers though...

Windtalkers were navajo coders toward the end of the war in the pacific. The japanese kept breaking american codes, so they used a different language base, so the japanese codebreakers would have no idea how to crack it.

But we're not going to be at the end of the war- and we're not going to be in the pacific.
