That campaign started and ended successfully with aggressive patrols, dust storms, stuka bombings, artillery bombings, tanks shots and germans firing rifles at our unfortunate aussies who were only out to get a decent pot of tea. After destroying a concrete bunker comandeered by the germans to house the German Ubermench crew and shooting the rest of the poor unarmed buggers, our talents finally made it out with only two dead.Eight months later, the Maroubra force landed at Buna in PNG. The then trained TOG 8 team were teleported in one of those box gliders from over Normandy to somewhere over PNG. Finding themseles in the middle of a warzone and Buna captured by a japanese Gaki squad, two talents died before they knew what hit them. With luck, guts, and their leader (Something based on that freaky captain or whatever that ran through german lines without getting shot - the one that "It's all a game" guy) dodging a Gaki talent carrying and shooting two heavy machine guns as he hid behind an oven! Let alone when the stretchy guy (We thought this talent was a bit silly until now) when he threw himself around the neck of the massive dragon and strangled it to death..ouch. Well, much fun was had. Last time (a month later) they were defending the owen stanleys against the Japanese onslought.. last defence before Australia could be bombed mercilessly. They were doing well against the japanese mini-tanks and light tanks..Until they came across a walking battle tank with two 88mm guns and four heavy machine guns. The 40 foot monstrocity shelled them badly - a new Tog talent, "Lucky" and the other one "McGiver", he with the power to make any scientifically plausible thing in limited time with only his combat knife copped it in their first battle before shooting off a shot. Later, the tog team were told to defend a particular junction so the Australian forces woudn't be surrounded. And that was when their billy can which survived all the hell of tobruk got a bullet from a japanese sniper. "War is hell."I know Ledded had his WW2 game. Anyone else ever tried anything like this, Supers or not? I don't know why, but the roleplaying is fierce, the combat is hot and deadly, and everyone seems to really get so much fun out of it. If not supers or WW2, has a change ever re-energised your group? Ours was dying from over-use of fantasy tropes.</blockquote>
