Alright, that's ten - though you will see there are only 9 GSN in The Cast list - as one is brand new to Only War and will be working the character generation as a lurker until they are familiar enough with the game to not step on any proverbial land mines too early in the game. ;)
- there may actually be a tenth added with the lurker remaining in the wings, as there is [unfortunately] always attrition in RPoL games. Especially with holidays coming up, and especially when I know a few of you already play in several other games. :)
I will be home most of the day as it is crummy weather outside, so feel free to post/PM and expect answers within an hour or so. Might take a lazy nap later but that's expected on my one day off.
As mentioned previously, I'll keep a running tab of what background options people are requesting for the Regimental creation, and once there's a majority for any/all, I'll post a new thread with your regiment and it's associated units and benefits.
Also, as discussed this morning, it looks like we are leaning toward a tyranid spur as the enemy [not a genestealer cult uprising], so I will go back and edit the RTJ thread to include the option of taking Catachan Jungle Fighter as a fourth Regimental start option.
Note that you do not all have to choose the same regiment. There can be 1 Cadian, 3 Mordian, 2 Catachan and 4 of the custom regiment you're creating. That's perfectly fine. But these are [and will be] the only options available in this game.
- your comrade does not have to come from the same regiment as your primary character, if you prefer diversity.

For the Guardsman specialty, I would suggest maybe swapping Leadership for maybe Willpower or something a bit more useful if they aren't supposed to be leader types.
Nope...everyone needs to be able to step up and take the reins when appropriate, and leadership/command is kind of the backbone of Guardsman structure and discipline. There are plenty of talents to help bolster any areas you folks think you may be weak in, and the rewards for success in missions will also help offset any latent nerfing you feel I might be throwing your way. :)
