    Default [IRS] Recruiting Post for the 83rd Infanterie Division




    Insignia of the 83. Infanterie-Division "Blitzstrahl"


    Welcome, to the recruitment post for the 83rd Infantry Division of His Imperial Majesty the Holy Roman Emperor's Army, otherwise known as "Blitzstrahl Division". The Russian Devil has capitalized on the Columbian Conspiracy to invade our eastern allies - aided by the treasonous rebels that have seized control of their governments.

    Enlist today, and protect all that is Holy, all that is Roman, and all that is Empire!

    In order to enlist, please provide the following:

    Name:
    Age:
    Hometown:
    Prior Work Experience:

    Also, please provide a photograph of yourself for our records. Pack light; you're heading east by way of Vienna tomorrow.

    _______________________________________________________________________________

    In the Thunderbolt style, this will be a one-off RPG to run parallel with our IRS Russo-German War. You'll each control an individual soldier through a battle, where you'll declare actions and I'll simulate their success via dice roll. For those of you who remember the original Thunderbolt, you fought through the trenches of a pseudo-WWI; this time, expect the dynamic to be much different. You'll be utilizing squad-level tactics in a mobile skirmish, and expect to encounter and employ a combined arms approach.

    This is the German 83rd Infantry, so please make your soldiers realistic (no Italians or French loyalists, please ). However, you will certainly encounter some foreign allies on the battlefield. Use the "Prior Work Experience" entry to give your soldier some interesting character and background. One note: unlike the WEF Thunderbolt, your men don't have to be conscripts. Feel free to make them veterans or career soldiers if you wish. Squad role, however, will be decided by your officer .

    but the union makes us strong.

    OOC: Donnerbolzen was so much easier to pronounce... Also, can I be Alexei in this, or should I create a German?

    It also wasn't German, according to my German-speaking friend

    You could potentially be your Ukrainian guy, I just need to have a look at the IH battles first before I decide where to set this RPG. If we set it up north, you'll have to be a German, but if we set it south, you might be able to make an appearance as your would-be Tsar

    Sure thing

    Of course, the way that Thunderbolt is formatted, you won't really be able to run around firing a gun at the players - but I can certainly allow you to RP your guy, maybe blaring out a propaganda speech through loudspeakers and such. Also, if he does anything in the actual IH battle, we can mix it into the action here via mod posts

    Okay.

    Though why can't I run around firing? I mean, I will be leading my charge.

    Donnerbolzen isn't German?

    Did Dan tell you that?
    when the union's inspiration through the worker's blood shall run,
    there can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun,
    yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one?

    OOC: No, I will be charging toward my own death for glory, you will be sitting in trenches shooting at my horsemen.
