and the idea of Dwarven shock troops, elven
commandos, Orcish heavy weapons, squad mage, etc.
I was thinking a set up along the lines
of
Jan 13, 1942
Germany: Riech scientists tamper with
christian artifact, breaking God's sole domain over Earth
USA: Researchers at the atomic project
acidently send a pile critical, unknowingly breaching a dimensional
barrier
Japan: Japanese submarine unknowingly
collides with ancient undersea structure in south pacific unleashing magical
energy into the Earth
Jan 15, 1942 First reported goblinization,
Japanese sailor changes in to what is now called an orc
Jan 16, 1942 with in 48 hours the "epedimic"
spreads world wide 40% of world population goblinizes in to new
forms.
Jan 25, 1942 English druid succesfully casts first
documented spell.
Remainder of 1942, war continues to rage on around
the world with little gains for either side in any theater. Most armies
concentrate on re-organizing and finding ways to utilize the new soldiers.
Most contries begin research in to magic use for battle field and stretigic
applications.
Jan 15, 1943 Game starts with both sides
fielding specialized units as well as units of mixed races. New units
designed to utilize new discoveries and to counter the new
discoveries.
Each side would have differnet areas they tried to
concentrate on and specialize in. And those could change as the campaign
progressed. But I figured if we already have WW2 with necromancy and wierd
creatures, why not go full bore and throw the different races from the PHB in as
well?
