ON LONG TERM HOLD
Winds of Dissention
Set in the spring of 1936, the game focuses on the development of the 51st Combined Arms Regiment. More details will follow. It should be initially noted that all players will be part of the regiment. It is preferred that the players form the basis of a squad (For instance, 1st Squad, 2nd Platoon, Bravo Company for Gears or 2nd Squad, 4th Platoon, Alpha Company for Tankers.) More opportunities and transfers within the regiement are both likely and expected.
