October 1942.

I considered the G.31 semi-auto rifle, but frankly I want the PCs to have some kind of chance, so the bulk of the German soldiers have bolt-action rifles.

Additionally, the majority of the raiding party are 30 Picts n loan from Mabd (they've been fighting trolls under the Grampian Mountains for centuries, so are quite good at stealth, hand-to-hand combat and night fighting).

The PCs are looking at this as a "Doolittle" raid -- not expecting to do much damage, but are expecting to really shake up the Germans by hitting a target they probably consider safe from ground forces.

What kind of weapons are the PCs & NPCs armed with?

Two PCs have assault rifles (basically E.M.1's chambered for .276 Pedersen). The third will probably use an M-1 carbine, but he's more useful for his magical skills (nothing like fireballs or sleep spells).

The fourth PC has an Atlantean battlecruiser, but he's several light years away so really doesn't count -- and he has a Martian invasion fleet to deal with once he gets back.

The 30 Pictss are armed with spears and daggers.

Lillith is also going to let them borrow 4-6 of her daughters, hideous monsters that fight with fang and claw and are very tough -- but will have getting through any magical wards in the castle (in comes the third PC, the Shinto priest).

There may be a few more NPCs involved, depending on what the PCs can scrounge in the next 24 hours or so.

(one of the PCs has used a BAR and silenced Nagant revolver in the past a bit, so might take one or both of those)

The MP18/28 might fit nicely then for NCOs and the ZBs might make nice background colour. Also maybe issue Kar98s not Kar98ks against just to be different but I do recall they were used more for parade grounds.

Will see what I can sort for you over the weekend.

Unfortunately, the session is this weekend. Should have thought to post last week
