thoes work too. you can probibly get enough skills to spread it arround and be genericly good at a couple of things.

the good Soviet Doctor who use to drive a truck...
would have to have like a missing leg or something to make up for the colledge educated edge, and resources would be low (russian army and all that) was educated in camberidge, and knows several languages, german, english, and russian, allong with latin...
Dosn't know anyone here though. he was the only survivor from a forward raid. his leg got shot off, and as a dark secret, he's not looking forward to going home, because it's his fault the group bit the big one.

can scrounge 1 for medical materials 4
Drive1 Truck3
Doctor3Firstaid5
Stealth3
Guns3
...
something like that.

Well, any BlackOps WWII general would have a group that works well together do any number of missions. Maybe an extraction of a scientist from Nazi-occupied base. Not like there were any lack of those.

Maybe an assassination of a Czeck official who was unstabalizing the region around Turkey. Or a similar mission in Egypt or Italy. Or hell, even in ye Olde Germany.

Of course, there's always the red herring of "The Plot to Assassinat Hitler"

yup. that's 'a milk run' hahahahaha

this would be like shadowrun, only there's not so much a chance of getting double crossed... as much. still have double agents and such, but at least you'll have someone to turn to if the crap hits the fan...

Yeah, as offical military, you could always just demand they turn you over to thier superiors.

Of course, they could just shoot you... that would suck.

Yes, there's always SOME risk... but it would be less than life in the shadows.

Archtypes

The social engineer, who speaks the enemy langauge, can pose as an enemy officer, or act as distraction.

The Radio man. SO IMPORTANT, relay intelligence, call artillerists. Maybe not so good in a stealth mission, but calling reinforcements could help. Or "We need extraction! We're at (X,Y)! Etc.  See Linguist below.

The scientific or political prisoner.

The combat engineer, builds bridges, bunkers, mans the radar, Etc.

The linguist. Read maps, interogate captured troops/civilians

And as for Assassinating Hitler, that only works if time travel is allowed. . .

Actually, that would be a fun mission too, despite the odds. . .

Trust me, none of the soviet officers would've been looking much forward to going home. They were not treated kindly upon return.

*whew* good.
my WW II history is a little on the 'weak' side... so this may not be historicly accurate... at all.

I'll loan you my military history book, so you can at least know some of the places and stuff.

Although I have reason to believe that we might be walking off the road map of history here.

if by 'walking off the road map' you mean: 'the map caught on fire and it was for a diffrent place anyways' ... then yes. we will be walking off the map.

and if I have to read a RL history book to make up a run for something we spent less than an hour thinking about, you are going to need a diffrent GM.
