The British Expansion-God Save the Queen

Intro:

The Prime Minister walked into the House of Parliament. The floor went silent. After a few introduction talks, the Prime Minister finally spoke.

"Welcome, Gentlemen. I have just received a letter from the European Union Leader, William Reid, giving us the details of our endeavor." He spoke. His elderly voice cutting through the air

Dear Mr. Prime Minister,

As you know, we are organizing a effort to recolonize the Americas. We would like to have your glorious nation, The United Kingdom of Britannia, to lead a effort to colonize the East Coast. You are to send one ship, to Virginia, to colonize a place there. You are to carry this, you are to see this wish through, Mr. Prime Minister, or to loose a very unique opportunity.

Best Wishes,

E.U Leader, William Reid

The men looked at the Prime Minister with cold looks as he read the letter

"I believe we should get started, now shouldn't we?" the Prime Minister said.

Backstory:
-----------------------------
In the Nuclear Holocaust that engulfed the world. Most of Europe was OK. After Two Hundred Years of rebuilding. They set their sights on America. The New World. Most people had forgotten about the Americas, knowing it was long gone. The E.U. was soon organized. Russia was tasked with sending men to the West Coast. Spanish were to go to southern Americans. French to go to the north, and the English to go to the East Coast. The government started working on tasks. Fliers and announcements went far and wide from Portsmouth, to Brighton, to Dublin, to Glasgow. People signed on for the mission.
-------------------------------------
Timeline:

2077: Great War

2100-The first contacts between Russia, France, Germany, Italy, and England begin.

2110-The English begin to expand into Ireland. In a month, Ireland is now part of the UK. France has recaptured most, if not all, of its former borders. Germany expands into western Poland, Austria, and other Alps countries.

2280- The E.U., after a hundred years, agrees to have three countries to go to America, and set up colonies
----------------------------
Info:

You are a British Citizen. Let me make one thing clear before people start mouthing off, there is NO Power Armor nor ANY LASER OR PLASMA OR PULSE WEAPONS! The British do not have Power Armor, Laser or Plasma or Pulse weapons. You are going onto a Cargo Ship, like the ones in World War Two. You are bringing the utmost essentials to the New World (food, water, medicinal items, some tools, weapons, ammo). You can be a Frenchman, a German, a Spaniard, a Italian, just you are going with the English to the New World to set up a English Colony. You can compare this RP to historical events. The settlers (English in the RP) with the Native Americans (Wastelanders in the RP).

Reserve a spot?

Ok


Ok

Couple of quick questions mate. In the list of jobs I notice that you have not included soldier. Has the landing ground already been secured for colonization? Or are you expecting people to take over the region with shopkeepers and farmhands?

Also, you say that the british have no power armour or laser weaponry, but you also say that players can RP as a german, if I remember correctly, gauss weaponry was developed in germany before the great war, so would a german character be able to have access to this equipment?

Finally. Does everyone have to RP as an invading brit? Could people also sign up as local US forces tasked with opposing the invasion? Or will all conflicts just be RPd against NPC's?

First off, Thanks for asking a question, I've been waiting to answer

Garrison is the equal to Solider. Solider makes it seem like its a invading force, its not. Its a colonization. No, the ground has not been secured. Yes, people are suppose to colonize.

The Germans wouldn't want to share their tech, now would they. More or less, the British Authorities would confiscate any Gauss weapon. In any way, I personally think Gauss weapon is in its own category. Gauss weapons would be used in any case, because there were some in the US soil, but in the start, no.

Like I said above, the Brits aren't invading. The local US forces are...like Native American tribes like the Lumbee and the Algonquin. It is a Invasion, but its not. Its not meant to be a run and gun, action, all shooting RP. Probably, maybe later in the RP I will let people become Wastelanders.

the germans sold guass rifles to both the USA and china but your Probably right about the British Authorities confiscating them

anyway i have a Question why is the british army using I.E Lee Enfield rifles? They stopped using them in 1926 and are only used in reserve military units( home guard) and police forces. If anything we should be using the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FN_FAL or Modified verison of it.

edit: read kettleison post , i forgot about the SA80 as it was made in the 1970's but it's in Fallout 2

Or perhaps the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SA80

Thanks. I've edited it. I'm using the SA-80 because it is British.

This is quite a large inconsistency here too mate. The RP is called God save the Queen, yet you state in your very first post that the monarch is a king.

God save the Queen is a phrase that is largely popular. It has nothing to do with really teh monarch in the RP

Its a phrase used in Great Britain. The RP has nothing to do with the monarch.

the phrase is used in England because we have a Queen, in WW2 when the monarch was a king it was " God save the king"
(see the movie "the kings speech") when prince William or Harry become king it change back.

edit: serious if your going to do RP about england do some Research first, i bet you don't even know what the captial city is called - London

Fine, I'll change it.

I know that it is, I myself am from the UK. "God save the queen" is a phrase used in Great Britain, when the ruler is a Queen. When the Monarch is a King, the phrase is changed to "God save the King." I was offering a pointer that would clarify an incosistancy, that is all. The RP may have nothing to do with the monarch, but surely your CS does, and on there you say that he was appointed Mayor by a King.

Seeing as I am from Britain, I thought I could help you out a little here Name, same as with the SA80 suggestion. Never mind though, I won't be trying to help you out any more.

Sorry if I came across rude.

I had no intentions of that and I was just trying to inform you as to the saying as I assumed you were an American.
