Re: [WW] UK Stalingrad

["Paul Wade-Williams" <wiggywade@hotmail.com>]

The basic plot is as follows:

PCs are ordered to help defend a rail station a long as possible.
The Germans shell the place with artillery shells containing fire elementals 
- incendiary shells in short
Escaping the rail yard the PCs loyally report what they've seen (if they 
don't then another NPC unit has a similar encounter).
The PCs are ordered to retrieve a shell, intact, from a German artillery 
base
Lastly, with the shell analysed, they are sent to a "secret" complex where 
the Germans have located a gateway to the Elemental Plane of Fire and are 
harvesting fire elementals.
Big fight - Germans die

All-in-all, it should last around 15 hours and I have pre-gened 18 
characters for it :)

Cheers,

Wiggy
