GENERAL ORDERS
To: 505th Battalion B Company (Class 34)
4/12/42


     To Class 34 of the Armor Command Course,
Deployment in two weeks to Fort Schwartz near the Naroda Border.
Political situation unstable. The Naroda Government has been extorting Hiemat for extensions of the Mutual Nonaggression Pact, which expires in 3 months.

Political Allies the Saxon Imperial-Republic and Columbia are fighting Xing and the Eastern Countries.

Naroda continues to spread its communist ideals to the northern countries. It is estimated that Naroda will have conquered the northern countries by the end of summer.

Saxon and Columbia are proposing a win-hold-win strategy. The Northern Countries plea for our support. We will not receive support until they end the war in Xing. Peace talks are underway, however whistle blowers in Xing and from Naroda claim that there is a political non aggression pact in the works.

Okay. Basic layout is done. Tomorrow I'll have a map and such. I'll also flesh out the OP.

Tomorrow this second post will serve as the "handbook", containing lore and shell types.

HQ Element

CO Captain William Michael Aust

-- Commands from Tiger 000, which has a distinct number of radio antennas protruding from the top.

XO 1ST LT Lucas Steele
- Commanding Officer's second-in-command. Helps to enforce policies. No further duties.

Company Sergeant: - Position Open -
-Oversees the welfare of all enlisted men, including fitness, health, training, pay, and punishment. Can write up enlisted men for non-judicial punishment and issues these incident reports to the CO. Both the CO and CS must be in agreement in order to enact or repeal NJP. Oversees officer treatment of the enlisted. Enforces and oversees NJP. Helps the CO and XO in planning operations. *OOC: Character should know military law, you serve somewhat as a JAG.
--Commands Tiger 001, in the CO's section.


Supply Officer Sergeant Jonah "Stuff" Hoffman [NPC]
-Works as a quartermaster. Materials requests go through him.
--Appearance/Mannerisms: 5'6, wears thin-rimmed, circular reading glasses. Small, beady eyes. Light blonde hair with a touch of red. Very organized, orders excessive amounts of things "just in case", which isn't a bad thing. This function was apparent during company training. Generally mistaken for being 'hard to approach'. Keeps himself clean, works quietly and diligently.
*OOC; Functions like Blackwater the AWACS. Players can play as this character when their main character is in contact with them. However, only one player can control him at any given time. Use him logically.

Hey using the letters inside the words you're backronyming is cheating. Come on.

[Mr. Hurricane]

Hiemat is a Columbian-influenced country. Basically somewhat "westernized" after the Great War. There's was a movement similar to the European Union. A lot of free trade. The main threat is outside the regions.

I'll need to get the map out to flesh out the story with regional politics.

You're accepted Gojira.

Whelp.

Edit: You can name the tanks and whatnot.

AF pretty much already means ass loving, or as forget, I don't really know what possessed me to put armored forumers

Edit: I'll handle shell types. Also, probably after the first mission I'll allow appliqué armor and field modifications. I'll also pick out the specific variants of the tanks we'll use. Later you'll get the option to switch to later models.
