This weekend, on a camping trip, played a rough cut kit bash of our WWII
Paratrooper game. We had a lot of fun, and kicked ass doing so! I do not
anticipate smoothing this into an actual game package. We played out
the awful drop against Oran in North Africa against the French -
everything went wrong, and only 12 planes dropped their paratroopers
anywhere near Oran - many planes ended up in French and Spanish Morocco,
and one landed in Gibraltar.
The PC's squad, led by a PC
Corporal, was sent off to screw over the airstrip in La Senia, just
south of Oran, while the rest of the 12 plane drop went off to attack
the more important airfield at Tafraoui. The PC paratrooper squad, using
a combination of stealth, explosives, sniping, and mortars wrecked the
airfield with no injuries to the squad. They ended up using Luck and
cover rolls - they made every single cover roll they attempted - to
prevent injuries and deaths, and generally kicked ass. In real life, La
Senia was attacked from the air, and eventually taken by an armored
company.
Ah! That PC glow! Apparently this game is not deadly enough! :D
