Yellow Sign's WWII M&M OOC.

Great. I've always wondered what Nazi smells like. Leiderhossen oil and sweat, I imagine.

Hey guys, I had another idea for our team name, since I don't think we've decided on one:

Action Force

It's actually what GI Joe is called outside the US. Not bad, eh? Suitably vague to fit our purposes, but with a nifty hstory.

We could also do a take on the All-Star Squadron and the All-Winners League, which were DC and Marvel's WWII teams. That'd be cool, too.

EDIT: The Amalgam Comics WWII team was the All-Star Winners.

Ok, my character is basically done, I just have to figure out the final touches.
He is going to be an Australian Super Soldier type...named The Bushwhacker. He is gonna be very spy-like, and good at tracking (I know we have other trackers, but what kind of Australian superhero can't track). I do have one question about weapons, though...It lists it as 1 pt/level but it also lists a certain number of points for certain items. I was thinking that my guy would have a machete (maybe a high quality one, so basically a sword), so would that just be a 3 point weapon?

Thanks for your patience.

Darth; In almost all cases, a mundane weapon simply costs a number of points equal to it's damage bonus. If the machete is a Weapon +3, then it costs 3pp, yup.

I dunno about the rest of the world, but we call 'em GI Joe.

Action Force sounds tolerable

Well, it's at least Action Force in Europe.

Ah, here we go... NZ mostly got Australian stuff, and... "In the early 80s, G.I.Joe figures were repackaged by the Australian toy company Toltoys and sold as Action Man action figures. Eventually, Action Force/Action Man were replaced with G.I.Joe." So we're BOTH right!

I'm still open to other suggestions, though. Maybe... the Metahuman Marauders? That captures both the supers feel and the "Howling Commandos" idea, I think.

You know what this group is lacking? Foxy super ladies. We got none. Ah well, French hoors all around, I guess.

Have we got a leader? Military structure? It doens;t seem so, as few of our characters have much military training or rankage.

Metahuman Marauders, I like.

What, you're sayin' Red Bear isn't just oh so sexy?

The Marksman and Red Bear are at least part of the military. I'm thinking maybe the Marksman in command (Charisma and all, plus he's from the imperialist capitalist West, the pig-dog), with Red Bear as second?

Cool cool.

Heh. He's got presence, certainly, but no experience. He can get people to follow him, no worries... but with his tactical incompetance, he can only lead them into trouble.

Typical British officer, in other words

Now that I take a second look at his skills and backgound, though... I hate to say it, but he still might be the best bet!

Unless the Bushwhacker turns out to be an expert veteran (or we get an extra player), I suggest we don't strictly need a leader.

 

[Zhure]

Minuteman is enlisted in the US Army (after his status changed), and probably went through some kind of basic training, but isn't an officer. I suspect his rank would be as a Warrant Officer, with direct presidential commission.... something like that.

Anyway, while he might be capable as a leader he isn't a military leader. Dammit, Jim, he's a doctor not an officer.

The Bushwhacker is also military, but not really leadership.
