[QUOTE="aramis erak, post: 9067647, member: 6779310"] In '41 and early '42, women volunteering for the Soviet Army were turned away; by 1943, more than 200k were serving in the medical corps in various roles, including corpsmen, nurses, and doctors. Either during or not long after the war, they were also in combat arms, but I can't get to my books to check. If the wikipedia page is accurate, by end '42, 2000+ female snipers... The Soviet Air Force (which was separate since the early 30's) had women pilots starting in the 1930's... and they did fly combat missions in the war. One of the benefits of a sociopolitical revolution during a time of technological revolution is that the military can be reforged to better fit the tech than in stable socio-political nations. I would agree... but one might find a Woman in the USMC in a technically second echelon role (secretarial, driver, "radioman," even a few mechanics - Source, GySgt H. Hardwick, a WW II veteran, may she rest in peace) at a regimental HQ platoon, while the Nursing Corps were rear echelon. Which mattered in Europe, but not in the Pacific. I suspect most groups will be male dominated and most parties likewise. One of the niceties of Deadlands is that they use the extension of the USCW as excuse to make both sides more modernly politically correct for the era that was historically the later Indian Wars timeframe. [B]I'm left on the fence about War Stories, tho'. [/B]I don't know if I could sell my player base upon it. [/QUOTE]
