Guess I’ve got competition, haha!
I love the historically based choice games - and two games on the same era can be entirely different in every aspect (especially since mine is based in the navy) so I’m really excited to try this out soon too! I hope you’re not as slow a writer as myself.

I wish you luck as well. I’m looking forward to reading yours.
Hopefully you grasp a better understanding of ChoiceScript than I do.
Oh, quite the opposite.
It is in fact so bad that I resorted to using Chronicler for the time being, which is a part of my reasoning for taking a month+ to update.
I do hope to command a decent understanding of Choicescript at some point, though. Still learning.

I love the idea but what I want to know is stats. They make or break the game for me. Also what gun you use could affect your stats like a machine gun could have high rate of fire, and better stopping power but you have a slower running speed. Also why not have a pre depolyment training like the US had in Britain. That could tell us our stats what we are using and what division we are in.

I like the idea. Depending on which nation you choose determines where you will receive your training(i.e Germany, Canada, Britain.)
There will also be weapon selections, depending on which type of training you wish your character to take(i.e, MG training, sniper training, SMG training, etc, etc.)
The stats would mostly refer to your combat abilities, and ranks. I originally thought of throwing a kill count in there, but that would ultimately be useless and would only cause more development headaches for me.

What about medals/award’s depending on your accomplishments or where you fought?

I’m planning to incorporate that as well. Which events that will lead to such medals currently haven’t been written, so that’s another thing I plan to incorporate.

Possibly. Hitler is still the leader, yes. But if you play as a German, you’ll be starting out in the standard Wehrmacht, unless you impress a high ranking officer and he offers you SS training.
You won’t know about the holocaust occurring as a Wehrmacht trooper. As an SS you probably would. So whether you wish to go along with it or to bail, is your choice.

I think its a good idea. Though as stated before “the bloody 1st” is not a specialized unit. Maybe being airborne or Ranger would be cool as hell but being on Normandy beach for the ranger and behind enemy lines to help clear out specific areas after parachuting in as airborne would be historically accurate. Though I believe Italy was forgotten in the possible countries for the mc or purposely forgotten. Either way it wouldn’t be to hard to study it and write a possible account of it. I mean hell im a history buff and I could recite certain operations by heart. If you need help let me know Id love to be a part of this if you need or want it, if not I understand as a writer myself something’s are better when you work alone

No problem though if I were you Id just do some research on who moved where and where engagements happened. After that comes the hard part of writing it
yup also can’t wait to ask my men if they want some cigarettes.
