Romanian Roughnecks
Using Gurps.
Brief Background:
On the 23rd of August 1945 the King Michael I of Romania tried to overthrow the military dictator Xeron, This Coup failed, the king and his entire family were killed when Xeron's forces eliminated the king and tried to take the family hostage.
on the 24th, Stalin, the great leader of the Soviet Union, died. At his death the Soviets signed a white peace offered hastily by Xeron and Romania quietly exited the war by the back door.
Xerons evil regime continues, and the people suffer like never before. As this great second world war ends no nation is willing to extend or begin another slaughter to free the peasants of Romania, this is where the team comes in, the Romanian Roughnecks. Born of Romania and trained in the USSR to free the peasants from their plight!
But troubles await... The UK have already sent MI5 agents and support to help Xerons regime put down the socialist inclinations rising in the gutters and slums of Romania's blood filled streets.
The team find themselves lying in a ditch after an air raid by romanian Stukas whom took out their convoy, all that remains is a R-2 tank, damaged, at the side of the road and the team. Good job they have a mechanic....
Can they save Romania?
