[WW] some Normandy options

[Erik Kjerland <erikk@lithtech.com>]

Here are the campaign kick-off options I'm thinking of for my players:

Airborne Troops
The party will be members of the 82nd or 101st Airborne flown in behind
Utah. The party will be WAY off course and end up discovering something
weird almost immediately. Once they hook up with their units again and
report, they'll be interviewed by OSI pretty quickly.

Rangers
The party are members of the 2nd or 5th Ranger Battalions assaulting Pointe
du Hoc. I'm thinking of devising some kind of platoon level combat system
for this and playing it as a wargame. The rangers won't meet any weirdness
on the assault, but during the subsequent German counterattack, something
could happen.

1st Army
Omaha. Yup. The gristmill. The players get a chance to really shoot up in
XP. I'll probably let the players roll up an entire platoon, with each
player controlling several GIs. Hopefully, at least one for each will
survive.

How about the rest of you?  Anyone else planning Normandy?





Thanks,
