Do you want battles that are Kursk-esque in scope and things like combined arms? This is the plot for you then.
Do you like tanks? This is also the plot for you
Do you like dank memes? This is also for you. I am looking at you, bob.
That's right, the tank plot that never was is back under a new GMship and without the Houdini-esque disappeareances from last time.
WHAT
The 1st EXMF is a plot that focuses on tankers and their exploits. In the plot, you will control not only your character (the tank commander), but the actions of the crew, with a few limitations. Would you like to know more?
The plot will take place in the conquest of Ukk. With the second NMX war over, Nepleslia is finally consolidating its holdings, and forms a sizeable task force to conquer a system that is occupied by a splinter faction from the NMX. Ukk has been a thorn on the DIoN's side ever since the retreating NMX elements from SC-4 occupied and extensively fortified the systemthere is a need to deploy the HMBTs to spearhead the ground attacks.
Initially, players will mostly be using the Maximus Mk2, but as the plot progresses the newest variant will have been introduced to all the crews.
WHY
"Why are we use tanks when we could use other things like flying PA or glass it with spaceships" you ask. The main reason is simple, because tanks are really cool, and unlike ships, you can love them.
The second reason is one of the centerpoints of the plot: the NMX at Ukk not only extensively fortified their positions on their populated areas, turning them into fortresses, but the intent of the Nepleslians is to capture the planet and retain most of its infrastructure, which isn't possible when it's been glassed by starships. Another reason is the extensive deployment of terraforming by the defenders: The once earthlike planet has been turned into a desertified deathworld, and breathing outside without proper apparatus is potentially lethal, since the dust practically amounts to small shards of glass.
There will also be other reasons, but I don't want to spoil them until the plot is underway.
WHEN
NOW
This first part will just be an interest signup. I want at least 3-4 people so there is a platoon level unit to go with. If more people are interested, I'll rearrange them in 2 different platoons. Character sheets won't initially be required (and I'll later provide a template for the crew), but once the thread leaves Open RP players will have to create a sheet for their PC (and an NPC sheet for the crewmembers, should they want to)
