The Lost Regiment - Victory Or Death

(OOC)
  For the past few months the players have been learning about the new world they have accidentally come to inhabit and getting to know some of the locals.  As with any group of people there is good and bad everywhere and the players are slowly adjusting to life in a medieval Rus village, very different from the farms of Maine or the streets of New York.
  But a storm is brewing and our heroes are going to need strength and determination and maybe a few more rifle wielding comrades if they are going to see this through.

  Calling all adventurers, I am looking for a few brave souls to join our regiment, the 35th Maine or their brothers in arms the 44th New York Light Artillery in the fight for freedom that lies in the not too distant future!

  Send your RTJ now to join the adventure before things really hot up!

The Lost Regiment - Victory Or Death

(IC)
  "Drop Anchor!"
  Within seconds the landing boats rattled down and the men started to swarm over the side.  The Napoleon fields piece, swinging from the end of a winch, was already poised.  Working feverishly, the sailors swung the gun out and eased it down to the lifeboat, where planks had already been laid across the gunnels.
  Andrew grabbed hold of a sling and was lowered over the side, into a boat already packed with ten men of Tobias command, who, armed with muskets, had been converted into marines.
  Moments later they were ashore.  Company A leaped from their boats and with practiced skill spread out into an open skirmish line, while with much heaving and cursing, O'Donald's men lifted the one-ton artillery piece off the boat and pulled it up on the beach.  The boats were pushed off and headed back to the Ogunquit to pick up Ivor's troops.
  "The village is just on the other side of that ridge, a verst or so away.  That trail through the woods leads straight to it,"  Kal said, pointing to a series of low-lying hills that marched down from the east.
  It was obvious to all that something was happening on the other side of the ridge, for the sky was blanketed by a dark roiling cloud of smoke from the burning town.
  Andrew took another look at the rough map Kal had sketched out for him.  Ivor and his knights would be galloping out from the city, coming up the road toward the village.  He hoped the Novrodians would be looking in that direction, never expecting a flank attack from the direction of the river.  With a little luck they'd hit them hard, driving them back before dark.  Chances were it was nothing but a raid anyhow, but it'd be a good opportunity for the residents of another cite to his men in action, and to solidify his position with the Suzdalians as well.
  "All right, let's move out!"
  Spread in open skirmish line, the fifty men of A Company started into the forest, while O'Donald's men and the converted marines grabbed hold of the traces for the artillery piece and started to pull the Napoleon up the trail.  Behind them Ivor's men were now landing, and moved up behind their advance.
  Running forward, Andrew reached the front of the skirmish line.  The men were grim, silent, back again to the old game they had learned in Virginia of hunting other men.  Instinctively they moved from tree to tree, pausing for a moment, and then with a low rush sprinting ahead another ten yards.  They weren't facing men with rifles, but an arrow could kill just as easily.
  A hundred yards was gained, then another hundred.  As Andrew kept pace with the line, he saw the trail before him straighten out and the crest of the hill a quarter mile away. So close were they now that the crackling roar of the burning village could be plainly heard, with smoke billowing up on the other side of the crest.  he paused and leaned against the trunk of a gnarled oak.
  A flutter of breeze snapped past him.  It took a moment for what happened to register.  Turning, he looked, the arrow buried in the tree next to him was till vibrating.
  "Everybody down!"

(OOC)
  Which in Referee language means "Everyone roll initiative!"

The Lost Regiment - Victory Or Death

(IC)
  The men of the Lost Regiment have just fought there first serious action against some of the residents of this strange new world where they now find themselves.  After making friends with the people of Suzdal, one of the cities of this new land, it seems they are the descendants of medieval Russians who somehow came to this world hundreds of years ago.
  Now the people of Novrod, one of the other Rus cities of this world, have attempted to ambush Colonel Keane and the men of the 35th Maine and the 44th New York Light Artillery.  The Novrodians have learned the hard way not to charge modern, 12 Pounder Napoleons loaded with canister.  The carnage inflicted was devastating as the Yankees drove off more than 5 times their number but they were not without loss themselves.  Ten dead, more than a dozen wounded and two missing, most likely captured by this new enemy.

(OOC)
  What does the future hold for these brave Yankees on this alien world?  Join the action now as a rifleman, artilleryman or sailor in the world of The Lost Regiment.

  This game is set in the world of The Lost Regiment, a series of books written by Willian R Forstchen using a home brewed gaming system for beginner and experienced role playing gamers.

The Lost Regiment - Victory Or Death

  For the last six months then men of the Lost Regiment, the 35th Maine and the 44th New York Light Artillery, have started building a new life on this strange world where they now find themselves.  In a realm of medieval Russians, these Yankees have made alliances and new friends among the locals and begun to introduce their technology and ideas.  They have even begun building a railroad, with steam engines!
  Then the Tugar arrived!  These 10 foot tall, devil like creatures that live off human flesh are the true overlords of this world.  Every 20 years they circle the world of horses the size of clydesdales, pillaging the human civilizations and taking 2 in every 10 for their feasting pits.
  Will the Yankees stand by as twenty percent of their number are slaughtered?  Or can they convince their new Rus allies to rise up against their oppressors and fight!


I am looking for a few brave souls to join the game as either Yankees from the infantry or artillery or Rus peasants who are ready to fight for their freedom.  The home brewed rules are simple and you do not need to know anything about the books this game is based on.  If this sounds like a story you want to be a part of, send your RTJ today!

Will they stay and fight with their new Rus allies against the coming horde?  Or will they leave, build their strength and come back in 20 years?

The peasant have revolted and overthrown their noble rulers with the help of the Yankees from the 35th Maine.

Now the Tugar are coming, the horde will not allow the people of Rus to rebel against the natural order of this alien world.

The Yankees plan to train the Rus peasants, build a modern army and face down the Tugar horde with muskets and canons and Yankee ingenuity and they need all the help they can muster.

Are you up to the task of raising a civilization from out of the middle ages to fight for their freedom?

New players wanted to adopt some orphaned characters.

We have a wide selection of infantry, medics, sailors and artillerymen with a variety of skills and experience.

Or you can generate a brand new character to join the adventure as the men of the 35th Maine and the 44th New York Light Artillery prepare to defend their new allies, the people of Rus, from the coming hordes of the man-eating Tugar!

The patrol has returned to Suzdal where the Army of Rus is being trained, factories and railroads are being built and new weapons are being made in preparation for the war with the Tugar.

More brave souls are needed for the coming war, the Army of Rus wants you!

What we need most are riflemen and artillerymen (Yankees & Rus) who have aspirations of promotion but there is also room for medics, engineers and sailors.

Due to a retirement of one of the starting group of players there are now a couple of characters available for adoption with higher than usual skills.  An experienced soldier who has been on the outer with most other characters is now at a point in the story where he can either abandon his countrymen or begin on the path of redemption and help save the world!
