Last Call for leaders!

Post by Tankerace »

Well, since this was from about 3 months ago (Man.... that was a while. And WPO has come a LONG way) I'll send out one last call. IF you want to command a ship/airplane unit, post your in-game name (For me, Prince, J. G.) and some Leadership and Inspiration values. If you don't want a particular ship, but a type, post that. Also, post your nation (US, UK, JPN, AUS, NZ, CA [only 3 ships, 1 CL and 2 DDs].

I'm a ground-pounder, so if you're offering LCUs I'll take a US or Filipino Cavalry unit. Ldr: 65 Insp: 80 (we Cavalry leaders have very high self-esteem!) . . . and *extremely* aggressive.

If I have to be an aviator, give me command of a patrol squadron: Ldr: 45 Insp: 70

since nobody wants to be a japanese captain, i will take a command of Hosho... but any ship would be nice if possible.


Kresimir Alajbeg (oh, Alaybeg, if sounds more japanese....so let it be Alajbeg,K.) leadership 49 inspiration 63, agressive

If you want strictly japanese names, you could use some of ski jumpers.. like Kazuyoshi Funaki, Masahiko Harada, etc....

Angus Williams. (Williams, A.M.)

He was my grandad and fought with chindits during ww2 in burma, could you put him in charge of a British LCU if possible. And also could you throw my name in the Bag also if possible!

Still taking names?
Is HMAS Sydney available?
Failing that I'd take anything else Australian...

Dodge, G.A.
L = 41
I = 79

I can get people to follow me - trouble is that I don't always know where I'm going :(
