Now that we have some form of stable tidal forces.

Begin crashing ice-laden comets into the planet's surface.

Crash a smaller planet into it.

You wanna knock a perfectly good Goldilocks zone planet out of solar orbit? x_x

Note that I never said where. Also, assuming we have a longer time before life begins, we can stand to accelerate it out of the goldilocks zone and into the freezing space between where earth currently is and where Mars is, so when the sun gets hotter later on, we'll be entering the perfect place. It also would increase the mass of the planet, add radioactive material into the core, and provide an extra kick-start to the lithologic cycle. And we'd have a good chance of making a moon like ours.

Keep running, but draw my pistol and take a few shots at the MG

[16] You run through the hail of bullets, leading the charge all the way to Jerry's trench. [11]/[3] Snipers are obviously just not having a good day. You fire your GlockColt 1911 [4]/[16];[13]/[20];[13]/[17];[10]/[19] and miss every shot. The MG gets sees an opportunity to fire at you whilst you shoot and [20]/[16];[14]/[10];[8]/[14];[15]/[11];[15]/[16];[17]/[18] are hit by the first, fifth and sixth, the first ricochets off your helmet leaving you a-okay, except the ringing in your ears, the fifth and sixth slam into your flesh unimpeded. [-70]

You are seven ninths of the way through no man's land.

---

Begin the march to the frontline trench.

You get moving there, it'll be one turn 'til you get there.

You are halfway to the frontline.

---

Jump into cover. Shoot the MG guy.

[13] You find some decent cover behind a (Hopefully) dead comrade. Using him as a stand, you aim up the MG guy and [4] Miss. You must work the bolt to fire next round. The sniper [6]/[16] hits you [-70], killing you.

You are dead. Reinforce?

---

Keep running while shooting pistol at Machine gunner.

[15] You run along, passing landmines, jumping barbed wire, and [14]/[10] avoiding the snipers' potshots. You take aim with your pistol at the nearest MG and [19]/[17];[11]/[19];[14]/[6] hit two out of three bullets, killing the gunner immediately.

You are eight ninths through no man's land.

---

Go to the nearest British trench and wait for orders

You're already here, you dumb sod! ((I assume you mean for the nearest frontline trench under British control)) [13] You go to there and await your officer.

You are in the Front trench.

---

PFC Jenkins is in the reserve trench. You know what to do.

---

Continue hauling ass, get closer to the enemy.

[12] You manage to not get blown to bits by a landmine, but get slowed a bit by the terrain. Not too much, but enough to be noticeable. [1]/[11] You are shot in the face by a sniper, immediately ending your life.

You are dead. Reinforce?

PFC 'Sapper' arrives in the reserve trench. You know what to do.

Charge!

[3] You are one of the first out of the trench, swept up in the rush to get out. Above the roar of shouting men and stomping boots, you hear the peal of sniper fire, the guy on your left takes a bullet to the shoulder, one of the ones just behind you takes one right to the brain pan, but, you [19]/[14] are spared from being hit by a round from the German rifles. As you cross into the middle of no man's land, you see the MGs of the enemy, right as they begin to open up.

You are about halfway across the no man's land.

---

charge head for the nearest piece of cover.

[17] Being one of the last over the top, you are spared the brunt of the sniper fire. [19] You find a decent and almost perfect piece of cover, inside a bomb crater. MG rounds slam into the dirt behind you and whiz above your head, but your cover is sufficient to cover the massive explosive tank on your back.

You are about a fifth of the way into the no man's land.

---

Charge!

[16] You manage to avoid the death of suddenly going over the top, and waited for a second until it was easier to secure a ladder. [18]/[12]The snipers also were too busy dealing with the main attacking force to deal with you, much. [3]/[11] The MGs have the perfect shot on you,[18][15][10][5][6][1] They shot you twice and killed one of their snipers in their haste to reduce you to a bloody puddle. (-70 health)

You are about halfway across the no man's land.

---

Charge

[10] You are in the center of the wave. Not really safe from anything. [15]/[17] You are shot at by a sniper, [6] but he misses! The MG shoots wildly into the crowd, tearing chunks off of people, spattering their blood and gore onto everybody behind them. [3]/[17] You are not spared from this either. [8][2][6][1][14][11] You pull through however and manage not to get a single scratch. Lucky you.

---

PFC Daniels arrives on scene to see the wave of friendlies cross the no man's land. [18] For the moment you are able to go wherever in the entente trench you wish to go, on your way to the front line, that is. You will be given orders then.
You are in the reserve trench.

---

PFC Amatin arrives on scene to see the wave of friendlies cross the no man's land.[15] You are to move to the front. But, you will wait there until the CO arrives to give you orders.

---

Charge!!!

[20] You waltz into the no man's land almost completely unimpeded. The MGs are blind to you, as are the snipers. Of course this could change in a heartbeat.

You are one tenth of the way into the no man's land.

---

The deafening roar of MGs sounds out, like a great dragon breathing fire onto some brave knight. Some members of the wave are lying dead in the mud, some found cover from the MGs, some are still running.

((I'm measuring the progress of your push in the PC spoilers. If you have negative, or zero, then you should haul ass and get to the fight, or your designated zone of entry.))

((Isn't nationality just cosmetic?))

((To a degree. They'd have to have been in a practical place for the front. Like Portugal or Spain. To the best of my knowledge, the Greeks didn't participate in the trench warfare of France and I'm wanting some kind of accuracy in who would have been there.))

If we're visiting Gallipoli, can we have Aussie diggers?

I meant at a later date I'd open another thread for the other fronts, and I don't think the Greeks fought on the Western Front. I'll keep that sheet till then, though.

I go East to reach the Western front.

I never thought about that. Nevertheless, anybody with a complete sheet is ready to go. And turn should be posted in about 45 minutes to an hour.

I'm fine with no items. It makes for a challenge on start.
