RE: [WW] Women in OSI??
Title: Message
In my
opinion you do not need to use the "its a game" excuse to get women into any
roll. As of 1944 when the invasion of Europe began the Women's Army Corp
was given the same benefits as other servicemen, including overseas pay, life
insurance and death benefits. While women were still not allowed to serve in
combat units it did not prevent them from serving as clerical support for some
officer or general or as a part of the Air Forces at the time. Three women were
awarded Air Medals for their work at the time.
As
pointed out in the females combatants section on page 39, it would not be
impossible to have a female character from the states that grew up in the
country learned to hunt and track with her brothers and then have her separated
from her unit during combat somehow, or be a part of a downed crew and have her
join in as a scout class with a combat group. She would be military that way,
with rank, and thus start as a scout or grunt class. As a military person she
could also then receive an accommodation in combat against the supernatural and
then become OSI.
As for
resistance fighters, someone already pointed out that they could receive a medal
as a not military person or from their own French government and thus still
qualify for OSI prestige classes.
It is a game let women play grunts or officers or
whatever if they want
