Give 'Em Helicopter wins the vote! Your starting base consists of: * Office (4 units, $70,000, $3000 a month) * Outdoor Firing Range (5 units, $3000, $100 a month) * Chapel (3 units, $70,000, $200 a month) * Quonset Hut (2 units, $17,000, $20 a month) x2 * Officers' Quarters ($100 a month) * Poor Rations ($50 per person per month) This comes at a total cost of $177,000 to construct, giving you $822,900 to hire soldiers and purchase equipment. Your base takes up 16/100 units. Your monthly cost will be $3420 beginning at the end of July 1955, not including ration and wage costs. Soldier lists will be posted today or tomorrow. I'll start by providing the soldier list just for the Great Lakes Region as these soldiers will have no additional hiring costs to transport to Detroit, but you can ask for any country's soldier list. All of them have their own hiring options, including some nations having specialized troops that few or no other American nations have.

Soldiers For Hire The way everything's going in the world right now, war is definitely an industry that's not going away. Mercenary units all over the world won't have a hard time finding new recruits, though they may not always have the best selection at all times. You can recruit from any American nation, and you can look at overseas countries if you really want to spend a lot of cash hauling foreign soldiers over. Every nation has its own selection of troops that reflect the environment, economy, and existing defense industry. Recruits range from farmers or miners looking for more excitement to experienced veterans, some of whom have special skills like piloting, tank driving, or demolitions. Because of the large list available, I'll give you the local Great Lakes troops first and you can request to see the hire list for any other nation. All soldiers have a few stats. They have different levels of Combat, Driving, Pilot, and Social that affect their base performance on missions. Combat is their prowess at fighting on foot, Driving is their skill at piloting and crewing land vehicles, Pilot is their skill at aircraft, and Social is their handling of non-combat aspects of the job like dealing with civilians. Different missions require a different spread of abilities and certain soldiers are better for some tasks than others. It's possible for a soldier to have a score of 0 in something, which means they provide absolutely no benefit to performing that kind of mission and should not be put on that assignment. Soldiers have a Hire Cost and Monthly Cost. The Hire Cost is the initial paycheck you give them to entice them on board, while the Monthly Cost is added to your base's monthly expenses as usual. Like with building upkeep, you can choose to not pay your soldiers if you're tight on money but will see negative repercussions such as a Morale loss or even a soldier quitting or stealing equipment. All soldiers have Starting Gear, one or two weapons that they come with when they're recruited. This ranges from double-barreled shotguns and cheap revolvers to assault rifles and light machine guns. These weapons are not permanently assigned to your soldier and are added to your base armory upon recruitment, so you can give the weapons to anyone you'd like or sell them if you think they're too useless. Some soldiers have no starting gear at all. Finally, soldiers may have special attributes. This is often specific training such as seamanship (to allow them to captain or crew a vessel) or demolitions work that lets them perform special tasks, or traits that affect how quickly they lose or gain Morale. The Great Lakes Region Factory Worker A former assembly line worker looking for something less backbreaking and boring. Completely untrained, but has gotten the chance to test drive some vehicles. Combat Level: 1 Driving Level: 2 Pilot Level: 0 Social Level: 0 Hiring Cost: $100 Monthly Cost: $900 Starting Equipment: Colt M1892 (.38 Long Colt) Great Lakes Soldier A local soldier, born and bred in Chicago. He's a tough breed used to the cold winters and smoggy air. Combat Level: 2 Driving Level: 1 Pilot Level: 0 Social Level: 1 Hiring Cost: $700 Monthly Cost: $1200 Starting Equipment: Thompson Light Rifle (.30 Carbine) Tank Driver A Great Lakes tank driver who wants to get out from Michigan and ply his trade seriously. Combat Level: 2 Driving Level: 3 Pilot Level: 0 Social Level: 1 Hiring Cost: $800 Monthly Cost: $2500 Starting Equipment: M3A1 Grease Gun (.45 ACP) Armor Training Pilot A former puddle jumper pilot between Detroit and the Upper Peninsula. Completely untrained in combat, but skilled at flying through inclement weather. Combat Level: 1 Driving Level: 1 Pilot Level: 2 Social Level: 2 Hiring Cost: $1400 Monthly Cost: $3000 Starting Equipment: Winchester Model 1886 (.45-70 Government) Fisherman A civilian fisherman seeking to use his seamanship in a more combat-oriented trade. Combat Level: 1 Driving Level: 2 Pilot Level: 0 Social Level: 0 Hiring Cost: $900 Monthly Cost: $1200 Starting Equipment: Krag-Jørgensen Model 1896 (.30-40 Krag) Naval Training Demo Man A World War II combat engineer with the skills and knowledge to blow up just about anything in his path. Combat Level: 2 Driving Level: 1 Pilot Level: 0 Social Level: 1 Hiring Cost: $1800 Monthly Cost: $2700 Starting Equipment: M1A1 Carbine (.30 Carbine) Demo Training

While the rest of the group is huddled over their camp stoves, eating American spam and grumbling about it, Jean slips away from the camp. A few minutes later, gunshots ring out. The heavily armed group of mercenaries immediately reconnaissances in force, and soon find themselves waving their guns at Jean, and the corpse of a moose. https://rolz.org/info?X34451908 "You Americans and your processed food.

Damanation/Glaedwine bought up a good idea of recruiting in Squads of five. So, each Squad will have One Tank Driver, One Solider, One Demo-man and 2 Factory Workers, giving a decent spread of experience to cost. Except the last Squad which will be totally Tank Drivers for some armoured vehicles.

One five-person Tank Team sounds like a good idea, but making 100% formalized squads like that seems a bit too "Quartermaster Corps ditching all its specialist rations giving commando teams the runs" for me. I'd rather be more flexible in infantry composition. Speaking of rations... Kamran "Cameron" Rajavi "Ham...ham...frankfurters...pork...khak bar sar-am!" Kamran mumbles looking over the field ration cans brought out from the staff cars. Just his luck--all the meat cans have pork in them! And with no drat mess hall the only thing on the menu is hardtack and instant soup--and that's probably flavored with bacon! Hearing the shots and turning to Jean, he waves off the moose offer. "You enjoy, please! I'll help you by getting something to cook it better!" And get better things to cook, he says to himself as he marches towards one of the staff cars. He turns to the one who looks the most miserable over the rations. "Rupert, was it? What say you to taking up your tea offer right now?"

Rupert Sebastian Barntal-Sanquith Esq. “Haha! Good man!” Rupert exclaims, instantly perking up. “Tea, civilisation, good company. What more could a man want? I shall however have to ask you a favour. I've never had opportunity to study Farsi before, and a trip like this sounds like just the ticket to start rectifying that. If you are obliging of course.” Turning toward the rest of the assembled officers, Rupert calls out. “But we shan't forget about any of you, no sir. What can Uncles Kamran and Rupert get you all for gifts all the way from Detroit? No need to be shy. Spices for Jean, to be sure; can't have the Frenchman have a worse pallet then I. ” OscarDiggs fucked around with this message at 20:21 on Jun 28, 2018 |

Reginald "I believe I should come along as well. We need to buy a mess tent and related gear. That should tide us over for the summer and we can build a mess hall before fall hits. We should also scope out our competition and look over some prospective recruits. I've rented a small office in the city to be our front end. We'll run some ads in the local newspapers to see if we can't gather some prospective hires. Speaking of learning, I do have some skill with money matters and I believe I could make some time if anyone would be interested in learning. As it stands, whenever we do purchase something I'll be doing the haggling. Just put any unusual gear down on a list and I'll see what I can do."

 Kang: I grab my pile of newspaper clippings and head for the huddle of soldiers. "We are are going to Detroit, Mr. Reg? I will come with you. Time to buy some guns!" Kang squints at Jean. "No tanks! There are big. They are slow. They are heavy." He waves his wad of clippings to prove his point. "I have a better idea." Kang's Idea Fighters - 28 soldiers 4 Demo Men - which gives us two 2-man teams. They can use bazookas and TNT to fight tanks and blow up bunkers. 6 Great Lakes Soldiers and 6 Expatriate French Soldiers and 12 Factory Workers - this makes six fighting teams (24 men total). Fighting team example: 1x Great Lakes Soldier (fighter) 1x Expatriate French Soldier (fighter) 2x Factory Workers (driver + fighter) Small teams are good for riding in jeeps, helicopters, or small boats. It is hard to fit 5 people in a jeep! With even numbers of men in each team, every man has a buddy to fight with. The veteran soldier can train his buddy in how to fight better. Pilots and Crew - 2 pilots 2 Pilots, with Cochrane and Wells, we will now have four pilots. "And when we get to Detroit, we should look for these things. Maybe we cannot buy everything now, but it is something we can work towards." Kang's Merc Company Guns   One of these for everyone - the folding gun will be very good for our pilots and drivers. And I have seen men in Chicago with those rifles. Some could fold their rifles. Others told me that theirs was like a tiny machine gun. "EM2," They called it.   Two of these for fighting tanks and blowing up bunkers.  Enough of these for every jeep, truck, and helicopter to have at least one. Vehicles  Two of these - what are they called? Ducks?  Five of these Jeeps! Kang might not be able to read, but even he know a Jeep when he sees one. Aircraft  Two of these - lots of room. I think eight or nine can go inside. Wheels for the land and like a boat for the water. And they can drop bombs!   Two of these kinds of plane - a little fighter plane that does not need a big, expensive runway.   Two of these kinds of helicopter - they can carry men, they can carry guns. They might be useful for the places our planes cannot go.

The Solid Core Plan A standard squad of 5: One combat veteran: The Expatriate French soldier has a higher initial cost, but same upkeep as the Great Lakes Soldier, but can translate French and is better at combat A tank Driver: The best driver we can get A Demoman: Just for when you want to blow something up Two rookies, in this case, factory workers: They can drive, they can shoot, but most importantly they are cheap. We are brand new, we don’t need to only hire vets, we can afford to train people up Buy 5 squads, then the 6th squad of all tank drivers to man any heavy armor we might be able to get. 5 Expatriate French Soldiers: $7500 initial, $6000 monthly 10 Tank Drivers: $8000 initial, $25000 monthly 5 Demoman: $9000 initial, $13500 monthly 10 Factory Workers: $1000 initial, $9000 monthly Total: $25,500 initial, $53,500 monthly

Damanation posted:The Solid Core Plan I think five men per team is too many. Only about four people can easily sit in a jeep or a staff car. If we have a driver and three men firing out the windows, what is the fifth man to do? And why have an expensive tank driver if we have no tanks and the factory workers can drive almost as well?

I suggest we replace the rookies in the core plan, now that we have more options. If we change from Factory Workers to Sunshine Old Fishermen, we trade the starter pistol and $600 up-front for Naval training and -100 upkeep, which is an improvement IMO. We're gonna be issuing better weapons anyway. Confederacy tankers have the same stats and lower upkeep, but gently caress those guys Tunicate fucked around with this message at 19:11 on Jun 29, 2018 |

Rupert Sebastian Barntale-Sanquith Esq. “Jolly Good! The more the merrier. Let's get a car around and get everyone packed in. See the rest of you ladies and gents later!” Firstly since it is a long journey to and from Detroit, if Kamran is willing getting an hour or two of Farsi training in would be grand. More importantly, while actually in Detroit Rupert is going to wine and dine and skulk about known hang outs of other mercenary companies, posing as a rich potential client. Let's scope out the competition. IQ is 12, Acting is +1, Voice is +2 and 2 levels of Charisma is +2, for a total of 17. OscarDiggs fucked around with this message at 21:59 on Jun 29, 2018 |

Reginald Reginald loads himself in the car. Once he arrives in Detroit, he will purchase a mess tent with the associated gear as well as some mosquito netting. He will also check with the office he set up to handle their business to see if any offers or interesting applications have come in. He will also check his investments.

CRITICAL FAILURE Grunn makes a beeline for the first dumpster he sees after the car drops him off, right behind a bar. As he pops the lid open and starts scrounging through the inside to find anything useful among the broken glass that stinks of old booze, he finds a little vial.  As it dawns on him just what he got, a massive hand suddenly clamps down on his. "Gotcha! You think we didn't have this drop marked, punk?" Grunn looks up to find a tall, broad-shouldered police officer reaching down for a pair of handcuffs from his belt.

Responding to a roll of 15 Rupert Sebastian Barntale-Sanquith Esq. No matter how high quality, well stocked and guarded a place became, one could never quite remove the atmosphere of a good old fashioned Bar. This was not a place where deals were made; that would take time, trust and fine dining. But it was adjacent to deal-making; the best a man in his position could hope for. “Evening” Rupert inclines his head to a group of three by the door, BBC accent thick. Non-nonchalantly he strolls to the bar, humming a tune. The humming was important, projecting himself into this place; not quite an invasion but definitely something that should not be. It also spoke of brash over-confidence. No one was quite as brash and over-confident as a rich man who has been insulated from the consequences of his actions all of his life, and who else is going to be buying mercenaries? All eyes were on him now, sure as anything. Especially the ones that were looking away. He internally winces when he eyes the room himself. It hurt his professional instincts to be so obvious when scanning the crowd, but when one is fishing one must provide bait. The bait here; a rich swot from the Empire of Gun Running looking for some chaps capable of a bit of violence. The fish, some slightly drunk soldiering types looking for a job. A fake story here, some questions of capability there and a fresh round of drinks for his hosts at the most opportune times. Desire, pride and drink will tell him everything he needs to know. Rupert need only wait.
