Unternehmen Theodoric - WWII German Paratrooper Funop With "Kampfgruppe Whelan" getting some well deserved R&R Im gonna take this opportunity to Fast Forward a bit to the Spring of 1942. Most of the Ukraine is in German hands with the exception of the Crimean Penninsula. The heavily defended Perekop Isthmus is holding up German forces tremendously. Following the barely avoided disaster on Crete the OKW stopped all future airborne operations until further notice. Now however an opportunity has presented itself. Recon units have discovered a gap in the Soviet air defenses and OKW reckon that a well placed airborne assault could crack the Isthmus wide open provided the Paratroopers can take out some key defensive installations. For this purpose the Paratroopers will be issued with the brand new FG42 rifles that look promising on paper but are in dire need of a proper field test. Half of Sturmgruppe Whelan will be issued with these new weapons.
So people seemed to enjoy the WWII funop last Saturday so I figured we might continue for however long people feel like it. Switching up a bit from last time we shall be playing as German Paratroopers this time. Our goal will be to casue significant chaos in the rear of the nemy lines. Taking out key defensive installation such as AT, AA and AP obstacles. We will be operating entirely behind enemy lines with some very limited artillery support available from front line troops of "Sonderstab Krim" at the Perekop Isthmus.
I will start of the Roster with just one Squad or "stick" but room can and will be made for all who are willing to attend. Initial time for this is around 1900EST follwoing 8321s Team Training on Saturday but adjustments can be made if a majority cannot attend at that time.
