Stuffing the enrolment form back into your pocket, you look towards the ferry. It’s an old-looking thing, cast iron and covered in rust. As you approach you see the shipping container holding your tank being slowly lowered into the hold to be transferred to the school ship with you.

You hear the thud of the schoolgirls in front of you and your footsteps as you make your way across the gangway onto the ferry and you decide to:

>New Contact: Ruby (Gunner)

You descend into the bowels of the ferry, ducking the low hanging pipes that threaten to take your head off and weaving through the narrow corridor between groups of schoolgirls loitering in the hallway and moving through it themselves.

You make it to the canteen, and find it packed to the brim. Mostly your soon to be classmates, chatting loudly about boys or fashion or whatever else it is teenage girls talk about. You also see a smattering of kids and adults around, likely the families of students and those who work in the shops on board the carrier.

Scanning the room, you see a familiar bob cut attached to a familiar face. Eyebrows burrowed in concentration, you see your gunner Ruby, the sole girl on your team scratching away at her notebook with her pencil.

“Hey Ruby”! You shout, waving your arm at her, struggling to get her attention over the noise in the canteen.

Upon hearing her name Ruby’s head perks up, scanning the room till her eyes meet yours before smiling and returning the wave.

“Fritz, over here”. She says as you walk over “ Thank God you’re here, Axel, Max and Leo got on an earlier boat and didn’t tell me! I was afraid I’d get lost and fall off the schoolship! ”.

You chuckle at the exasperation and obvious relief in her voice and catch a glance at the book she was scribbling in. “Japanese for dummies? Bit late to be just getting started”.

“Pffffft, I’m kilometres ahead of you Fritz but it doesn’t hurt to brush up on the basics”. Casually dismissing your jest before settling back down and continuing to write away. “Don’t want to use the wrong suffix and have someone coming for my head with a katana or something”.

“I suppose so”. You reply, looking out the window you see the shape of the carrier looming ahead of you. You probably have time to do one more thing before you reach the ship.

You decide to

Ah yes the panther 2, from what i remember in history all its parts were complete and a working one was to be assembled till the allies did the classic bomb everything to smitherines buisness on the main factory it was being assembled at.

Well spotted, remind me of this when talking to Maho for the first time and I'll give you something nice

>>4226791
I was going to expand during the training sequence but since you asked:

MG fire works off accuracy, if you crit an accuracy roll or are at really close range you can use the MGs for free in order to force a contested composure roll (you roll against them and if you roll lower their next shot misses, this goes both ways).

Being unbuttoned provides an awareness boost but if the enemy crits an accuracy roll you may be knocked unconscious and vice versa. Buttoning/Unbuttoning is free to do every turn.

Suppression happens when your accuracy roll misses the dc by 2 or less and adds a negative modifier to the tank being suppressed's accuracy.

No numbers yet because I'm fiddling with them for balance but you'll have concrete numbers before St. Gloriana

>>4226818
Ahh yes getting knocked out by the completely safe high explosive cannons and heavy machine guns. Shensha-do is truly the most wonderful and totally safe sport kek.

“I’m going to check on Werewolf” you say to Ruby, getting a murmur of affirmation in response, her attention still directed towards her scribblings in her textbook.

You walk over to the window and snap a quick picture of the carrier to send to Koume before turning towards the stairs leading further into the ship and sending the picture, along with a small caption:

<AppleFritz>: Be seeing you at the other end of my gun barrel soon

Her reply is instant

<Akaboss> Not if I see you first

Followed by

<Akaboss> OMG you go to Ōoarai? Since when? Why didn’t you tell me you’re in Japan? Have you brought along my dear Pup as well?

<AppleFritz> Yes, Today, I wanted to surprise you, yes in that order

You reply, smiling as you remember Koume’s year in Germany, helping the Munster tank museum where she helped restore Werewolf and the two of you became close friends, bonding over your love of Tankery and ironically named Big Cats.

<Akaboss> Well you certainly surprised me! Let me know when you make a port call, we can try arrange something!

<AppleFritz> Will do. I’ve gotta go but I’ll talk to you later diver.

You smirk as you put the phone away, the buzzing of your phone going off confirming her swim during the finals of the 62nd High School Sensha-Dō Tournament was still a sore point for her.

You arrive at the container holding Werewolf and unlock it, the large metal door groaning as it opens, the light from the hold illuminating the crate.

There he sits. Werewolf in all his glory. You do a round of the tank giving the tracks a kick for good luck; as you run your hand along the surface of the tank that made you and your crew a minor celebrity in the German tankery scene.

Strapped on the back of Werewolf, under a tarp so you could sneak it to Japan with you was your:

>1950s Harley Davidson – you got it from your Dad, ex-Bundeswehr who bought it from Americans in Germany after the war. It’s your pride and joy (apart from werewolf of course).
>Kawaski Versys – X – You’re a bit of a petrolhead, and you’re in Japan for more than just tanks
> Vespa scooter – you just need to get around

I know according to Japanese law you shouldn’t be allowed to ride but travelling is a big part of the social aspect of this quest. Plus I love motorcycles.

As your examining your technically-illegal-according-to-Japanese-tanking-rules modification (listed below) to your tank you hear the door to the container creaking open and see the light from the hold flooding the rest of the container.

Normally I would say you have to look up the answer to this but since you took the History skill I can tell you that extra weapons are fine as long as they are either pintle or hull slot mounted and are 'historically plausible' meaning, unfortunately, no autocannons but you can add a MG 34 to your pintle mount if you find/buy one

“You can come in, I don’t bite but Werewolf might,” you say to the air, betting that someone was at the door and that Ruby would’ve said something by now.

“Hwah, Werewolf? THE Werewolf? The only operation Panther II in existance? Scourge of Fulda and one of the best Sensha-Dō teams in Europe? Ahhhh I feel dizzy”. You turn around and see a girl suspended horizontally, hanging off Werewolf’s gun barrel.

“I wouldn’t put it quite like that but yes. Werewolf is the only Panther II in the world. I’m Fritz Hermann by the way nice to meet you”

THUMP.

You see the girl fall off the gun and flip into a landing before dusting herself off and promptly bowing to you deeply.

“Sorrysorrysorry I totally forgot my manners for a second I’m
Akiyama Yukari. It’s a pleasure to meet you Hermann-dono. It’s just that I love tanks and seeing such a rare tank with such a distinguished Sensha-Dō career… I couldn’t control myself”. The Japanese come out far too fast and you almost miss it.

You can hear the ferry pulling close to the carrier, according to the Student Council President you’d be allowed to drive the tank straight off the Ferry into Ōoarai once it was unloaded

“You’re offering ME a chance to ride such a rare Panzer! Oh thank you ever so much Hermann-dono”. That’s about all you catch before her Japanese gets too fast for you to follow.

------------Line Break----------

It takes less than an hour for your tank to be unloaded, a time that would be surprisingly fast if you were anywhere but Japan, the home of efficiency. An hour was also long enough for Yukari and Ruby to become acquainted the two chatting animatedly about all things tanks and tank guns.

“Hermann” A sharp authoritative voice rings out across the docks “Good to finally meet you. I’m Kawashima Momo, PR manager of the student council. You have a form for me”.

“I do”. You say as you hand over the form. “Nice to meet you too“. Before you can get another word in Momo starts again.

“Take your tank straight to the Sensha-Dō garages behind the school. The automotive club will give make sure it is in fighting shape. The Sensha-Dō club starts after school two days from now. Understood?”

You can barely nod your head before she turns around and marches off clearly a woman on a mission

“What crawled up her butt and died” You spin around and see your small, angry and half-Irish driver, Max staring at Momo’s retreating form with Axel and Leo, your Loader and Radioman respectively bringing up the rear. “Maybe she was on her period or something”.

“Max, you shouldn’t say things like that! There are ladies present – you’ll be eaten alive”. You hear from your radioman, switching the conversation to Japanese, the biggest softie you know and a hopeless romantic. Ever coming to the defence of the fairer sex.

“Please” Max snorts. “Ruby is one of the boys by now and the other one is too busy fawning over Werewolf to care”.

Axel just stands there, looking to you for direction.

“Like dealing with twelve-year olds”. You mutter before dragging Yukari away from Werewolf before she can molest him any further. “Yukari, this is my crew Max, Axel and Leo, this is Yukari fellas. Let’s load up and…

Personally the weaponary's enough to keep me invested but there's bound to be a lot of people who want to bang a lot of different girls.

GuP just on it's own is full of best girls and you're adding girls from other media like RWBY.

It's best to make obvious where you stand on it so we don't get disappointed later and it doesn't turn into a mess.

Honestly I kinda with you'd just pull a Merc and insta lock us on a best girl early so it doesn't turn into a mess but with this being a fandom quest that's unlikely.

This is true, Ruby is the only non-GuP girl you'll interact with and she only exists to facilitate the tank. She won't be an option unless anons specifically pursue her.

>Waifu limit and Hardlocking?

The limit will be one waifu, there are two (2) cases where you can achieve a ménage à trois but you would have to 1. be a super suave ladies man and 2. know which girls but I'm not going to say who they are.

You'll get a chance to interact with the girls from other schools including Rukuriri who is 2nd best girl and the Motorbike is to help facilitate a relationship with girls on other ships who have homeports elsewhere in Japan.

You will see the option :
>KISS HER
and after that you are hardlocked

The plan is for the hardlock to happen before Pravda if its a girl from another ship or earlier if they're from Ōoarai.

Hope this answers your question.

“Gentlemen load up”. You bark, cutting through the idle chatter of your crew. They quickly get into gear, scrambling for their hatches, fluidly slipping into position. You are no different, scaling Werewolf and offering Yukari a hand up and into the tank.

“Oh, thank you!” You hear from Yukari, the platitude going ignored as you run through your startup checklist. Your diligence is rewarded by the roar of Werewolf’s engine baying for blood. The vibration beneath your hand. The smell of oil in your nose. Answer to a question you hadn’t even asked – commanding a tank – that’s where you belong.

“Easy boy” you murmur softly to Werewolf as you pat the side of you cupola. “Max! Advance!” your command receives no verbal response but the lurch as Werewolf lumbers forward is answer enough.

Rolled 6 – Driver & crew appear = no mobility roll required for out of combat navigation

Your trip to the school is uneventful, Max is a skilled driver and was able to deftly navigate to the schoolyard without complication. The only point of note being Yukari earning your driver’s approval by figuring out your engine was tuned up just by hearing it.

You pull your tank up to one of the large warehouses behind the school, the automotive team rushing out to guide Werewolf in. Off to the side you see Momo, Anzu and another girl you haven’t met yet standing to the side, watching the proceedings.

>Wait for Werewolf to stop and take your crew to talk to them

Werewolf slowly lumbers to a halt, the big cat’s engine dropping from a roar to a purr to nothing as Max slowly kills the engine.

“That. Was. Amazing!” You smile at Yukari’s excitement, having felt much the same the first time you commanded Werewolf. Leaving her to the tender mercies of your gunner, you and Leo approach Anzu and her entourage, trusting your driver and loader to debrief the automotive club.

“Fritz. Good to see you again”. The reason for your even being in Japan starts “Ōoarai’s glad to have tankers of your calibre to help the Sensha-Dō team hit new heights. We have the 63rd National High-School Sensha-Dō tournament and the first annual tank duelling league coming up and Ōoarai has to win capeesh?”

“Capeesh? Wha-“

“Excellent, glad you understand Fritz. I knew you were a good pick”. She returns, interrupting you and pulling out a packet of sweet potato chips. “Any questions?”

You can hear the rest of your crew and Yukari coming up behind you. You think you have time for one question before they get impatient and drag you away.

If we mess up my team and the other teams might get I each others way or friendly fire if we don't know how to move together."

“Two days from now?” She says, eyes furrowed. “The tournament isn’t for- ah” she cuts herself off, smile growing as if she’s caught onto something. “Fritz I think some information got lost in translation. The instructor for the Sensha-Dō course arrives in two days and we were planning to have a mock battle! Test our tankers ya see? The tournament isn’t for a month! Nothing to worry about”. You feel no small measure of relief, as good as you and Werewolf are, two days of training is nowhere near enough time to get ready for a tournament.

Before you can express that relief Anzu pulls you to the side “We do however have a practice match with St. Gloriana at the end of the week day 7 so it’ll be down to you, me and another exciting prospect to whip our team into shape. Clear?”

NB: Apologies if I wasn’t clear earlier gentlemen. To clarify: in two days you will face combat for the first time in the form of a training match with the other tankers from Ōoarai. The tournament doesn’t start until May 8th, 30ish days from now

With that out of the way you quickly say your goodbyes, however not before you were treated to the display of Yuzu pulling a business card out of her bra and handing it to Anzu who in turn hands it to you. You aren’t sure what to feel about that.

April 8th (Day 2)

You’re up early today, your father always taught you to be punctual and you wouldn’t want to let him down after how proud he was at you for getting a scholarship on a prestigious Japanese schoolship. Despite your crew’s and your enrolment being very last minute, Ōoarai managed to find some nice bottle green blazers for you to wear.


After a short walk to school, you find yourself in front of Ōoarai Girls Academy. The irony is not lost on you, as you walk through the gates. Nor on the schoolgirls surrounding you.

Despite your excitement to be starting at a new school, classes are as boring as they ever were. You already had a pretty good grasp on English and Maths in Japanese is twice as hard as it needs to be.

Before you know it, it’s lunch as your packing up you hear a voice.

“Hey, Nishizumi, new boy over here!~” you turn and see a cute redhead and a tall brunette looking at you. “You guys wanna join us for lunch?”

>Wasn’t the girl that saved Koume named Nishizumi (Ask Miho)
> Wasn’t the girl that saved Koume named Nishizumi (Stay Quiet)
>As in instructor Nishizumi?

>Sure I’d love to, call me Fritz. You are?

“Only if you call me Saori cutie~”. The redhead answers with a win “And this fine lady to my left is Hana”. Prompting a wave from her.

“And ah, I’m Nishizumi Miho, but you can call me Miho”. Comes the reply from

“Great, c’mon lets go get some lunch, we can talk more in the cafeteria!” Saori grabs your arm, pulling you with her before you can protest the other two following behind.

Before long you find yourself seating in the with your new friends. Unfortunately, there is no Bratwurst, but the salmon teriyaki is a decent substitute. You dig in, listening with half an ear as the girls talk about Birthdays. Miho even knows yours!

>Ask about Maho

“Say Miho, you don’t happen to be related to a girl named Maho do you? Her and Black Forest High School are pretty famous in German Sensha-Dō circles”. Miho visibly flinches at the mention of Black Forest but is obviously smiling as she talks about her sister.

“Yes! Maho is my older sister. She’s really really good at Sensha-Dō”. She pauses to take a bite. “Are you into Sensha-Dō too?” Her voice full of trepidation.

“Indeed”. You reply “Me and my crew are here on Tankery scholarships to help Ōoarai win the upcoming tournaments”.

“Waaaaaah? No Way” Saori chimes in. “We haven’t had a Sensha-Dō team in twenty years! This’ll be great! Ahhhhhh we’re going to have so much fun! I can feel it”.

“Agreed, Sensha-Dō would be the perfect extra-curricular to stay active”. Hana muses.

Miho doesn’t seem to agree…

Well done mentioning Maho, Miho loves her sister big time

Operation flirt with Sayori later?

>>4228418

Your conversation with the girls turns away from Sensha-Dō as you walk back to the classroom, the girls discussing a meet up to have bubble tea, something you’ve never tried before. Apparently Saori also managed to make friends with your gunner, no mean feat given how awkward she can get.

“Oh hey, Nishizumi”. A familiar voice rings out, the room going silent as Anzu and the student council walks over. “And Hermann too, glad to see you’re already acquainted. Let’s talk Nishizumi”. The three of them promptly leaving the room with Miho in tow.

“I wonder what that’s about” muses Hana.

Saori responds promptly - “Perhaps they both love the same boy! And the President is challenging Nishizumi for his love aaaah how romantic”.

Somehow you doubt that’s the case.

When Miho enters your doubts are confirmed, you’d heard about the thousand-yard stare before, but this was your first time seeing it. The entire class noticed taking peeks at an absent Miho. Saori and Hana look particularly worried.

The trance continues the rest of the hour until the teacher notices something is obviously wrong. "Something wrong, Nishizumi? Are you OK?" Miho’s only answer is the stare. ”If your ill head to the infirmary Nishizumi.” Only now Miho moves slowly heading for the door

"Teacher! I have stomach pain!" Saori calls, catching the teacher’s attention.

Hana claims a chronic condition.

> Offer to escort them to the infirmary

“Teacher!” You call out as you stand. “Please allow me to escort my friends to the infirmary! I don’t wish for them to be hurt further!” The teacher’s eyes narrow, staring at you as if to scrutinise your intentions. Whatever she finds satisfies her.

“Very well, just hurry back or there will be trouble.” You mutter your thanks and run after the girls.

>ask her if it’s about tanking given, we know what happened with Koume and saw how tense she got when we mentioned it

“It’s about Sensha-Dō right?” Miho stops and turns to face you, her face even more distraught than before. Saori and Hana are silent, likely sensing the mood. “The 62nd National High-School Sensha-Dō tournament, one of your subordinates almost died.” You continue. “And now the student council wants you to tank for Ōoarai”

“Y-yes that’s it” Miho barely manages to murmur. Her legs look weak, but you and Saori manage to steady her before she can fall. “I don’t know if I can do it again…”

“Then don’t Miho, why don’t we pick a different elective, screw the student council!” Saori’s words, crass though they are help. A ghost of a smile appearing on Miho’s face as your little groups slowly starts moving towards the infirmary again.

You reach the door to the infirmary, it’s time for you to return to class, but you manage one last sentence to Miho before the girls disappear into the infirmary.

“I never thanked you Miho,” she turns to you an unwritten question on her face for what? it asks. “Saving Koume, during the finals. She’s a good friend of mine and I don’t know what I would have done if I had lost her. So, thank you Miho.” As you turn to leave you see the first real smile on Miho’s face since the student council visited her.

Hana gives you a smile as Saori escorts Miho into the infirmary. She’s in good hands as far as you’re concerned.

The rest of class is uneventful, returning to maths in Japanese isn’t the most exciting thing but thinking about tankery helps to alleviate some of that boredom. Frankly, you reckon you could take any tank you come up against in the duelling league even if it’s a M-

Your thoughts are interrupted before you can finish that thought. "Attention students. Please gather in the Gym. I repeat, please gather in the Gym.”

You arrive in the gym a few minutes later, and begin searching for a familiar face, you see your crew standing next to the stage, behind the line of public morals committee members.

“Anyone know what’s happening? And why are you guys standing here?” you ask.

“Extracurriculars and Tankery Fritz! The student council is going to show us and Werewolf off to drum up interest!” Comes the reply from your gunner.
Anzu takes the stage and Momo shouts. “Everyone quiet! You will watch an introduction to our newest elective!”

The film is old, you can tell that much from the grainy nature and old-fashioned title card. What follows is the biggest load of bull you’ve ever heard.

“Senshado, studied by girls across the world to become the best they can be! Practitioners of Senshado will be beautiful like the sound of the iron tracks and have deadly passion like the main cannon.”

Ruby’s head falls into her face, as the rest of your crew struggles to hold in their laughs. You see Miho near the front too, shaking her head and muttering to herself. You hope she’s alright.

The film ends, and the elective sheet is put onto the screen, Sensha-Dō right at the top.

"Next year, the Sensha-Dō World Cup will take place." Momo announces in her usual sharp, authoritative way. "The Ministry of Education has demanded that more girls take up Sensha-Dō!"

"That’s why it’s back after twenty years! You won’t regret it if you pick Sensha-Dō!” Anzu chimes in

Yuzu, who you’d never heard speak before opens up. “Those who take Sensha-Dō will receive two hundred absences, one hundred food coupons and triple credit on other subjects!”

“Wow, you don’t want to miss that” Anzu turns to you and smirks “We’ve even brought some German Sensha-Dō experts! Who’ve brought a tank with them! Now ladies! Presenting Ōoarai’s first tank, commanded by Commander Hermann, WEREWOLF.”

The projector screen rises and Werewolf is sitting on the stage. You brace for the worst.

.

.

.

It’s not that bad actually, you were expecting Werewolf to be bright blue or something but instead it has a little Ōoarai logo on the front, on top of the hull machine-gun. You can also see Werewolf’s been cleaned and a banner saying ‘GO ŌOARAI. WE CAN WIN.’ Is flying over the top

>”Smile and wave boys, smile and wave”

You and your crew wave back to the crowd of schoolgirls, already excited by the video the appearance of 4 male tankers (and Ruby) seems to send them into overdrive, the cheering getting even louder than before. You see some of your new friends in the crowd and make sure to acknowledge them individually. A smile for Yukari, a wink for Miho and a wave for Hana. You’d try get Saori’s attention, but it seems to be squarely on Axel who is steadfastly ignoring it.

“Commander Harmann,” you hear from behind you. You turn and see Anzu addressing you. “Care to join me in my office after this? I think we should discuss the Sensha-Dō club before it starts tomorrow no?”

Seeing no reason to object, you agree “Of course President, lead the way.”

.

.

“Ah, finally behind closed doors, so. Fritz. Let’s get into the details of what’s going to happen. I thought to consult you since you’re our foreign specialist.” A smart choice if you do say so yourself. “Tomorrow the Sensha-Dō club will officially begin, I want you there early. Your tank up and out to give the girls some inspiration! After that we’re goin-“

Anzu is cut off as Miho walks in, Hana and Saori next to her. Miho scans the room and catches your eyes, giving you a small smile before looking to Anzu. Jaw clenched; she takes a deep breath.

The words come out quiet but resolute. “President, I refuse to take the Sensha-Dō elective!”

“Oh? And why not?” The President seems bored all of a sudden, pulling potato chips from somewhere and beginning to munch on them.

Momo shares none of the President’s restrain. “Unacceptable, Nishizumi has to take Sensha-Dō or we are sure to lose.”
Yuzu is no better, looking like a kicked puppy “We're finished!”

“How could you be so selfish? To force a girl into an elective she doesn’t want to do?” Saori is livid “For shame President.” Hana is no better.

"You can't force her!" she says, grabbing Miho’s hand as Saori grabs the other.

“You’re right, I can’t.” Anzu begins, lazily inspecting her nails. “But you won’t be able to come back next year if you don’t.”

>>4228728
Tankery/Shensha-do is a Japanese martial sport involving tanks aimed at young girls to groom them to be determined and beautiful women as well as teach them the importance of cooperation and planning. The sport involves a group of WW2 tank crews working together to either knock out all the enemy crews(annihilation ) or a specific flag tank ( I forgot the gamemode name.)

The sport itself is also perfectly safe with hulls being protected by carbon frames and bullets being coated in carbon coating... Perfectly safe.

>>4228746
Think of it like ballet, knitting or Japanese spear fighting but with tanks.

And all perfectly safe.

>>4228749
Carbon coated white phosphorus rounds, high explosive fragmentations and armor piercing shells. Not even doing a wink wink nudge nudge it really is all SOMEHOW perfectly safe.

You sit back, conflicted. You want to do something, anything to try resolve the tension. You settle for a small smile to try reassuring Miho and a look that you hope says ‘please go easy on her to Anzu’. You hope the message gets through.

Evidently it does not. The volume continues to escalate, Saori looks ready to square up to the council and Yuzu read to cry.

“I’ll do it.” The small voice cuts through the argument like a hot knife through butter. “I’ll join the team.” Her volume rises slightly, fists clenched, looking Anzu in the eyes “I’ll do it for my friends who are standing up for me, despite the risk to themselves!”

You slump back in relief, eyes closed, your crew who had been silent throughout the exchange just as relieved as you are.

“And what a great reason that is Nishizumi~” You can hear the grin on Anzu’s face “Very noble, I look forward to working with you.” Miho and her friends leave the office leaving you and your crew in the office with the student council.

“If you do not have any questions for the President feel free to leave” says Momo, sounding oddly exhausted. “We can continue this discussion another time.”

I really wanna tell Miho about Koume but in canon they only really met after Miho's gone to a better place mentally. Right now she's still dealing with a lot of conflicting thoughts and it might be for the best for her to find her own answers. Realize for her self that what she did was right and find her own school of Tankery.

Questions for the President
>Does werewolf get a budget and if so who do we send our expense invoices too?

“Yes you do Fritz.” Anzu nods, happy to be moving into more familiar territory. “It should be enough to cover ammunition, fuel, paint blah blah blah. Anything more than that you have to find yourself or talk to Momo about finding money in the budget. Make sure you send the invoice to one of us three.”

>What are the tournament rules, and can we have 2 written/typed copies of them?

“Bah, the rules are FAR too long and complicated for me to explain, but I’ll have Momo email your team a copy have fun with that.” She pauses for a second. “Well you are a History nerd so maybe you will!”

>Gained a copy of the Sensha-Dō rules, you can now role History checks to glean information from the rules!

>Why is Miho so important to the team?

“Oh my dear Commander Harmann.” She sighs “You know why, Miho is a Nishizumi, and was vice commander for Black Forest girls last year. Her experience is invaluable ”

You bid the Student Council and your crew fair well as you leave Ōoarai academy, it’s dark now and getting colder. You pull your scarf up slightly to better cover your neck and pull out your phone

<AppleFritz> Met Miho today.

<Akaboss> So she went to Ōoarai? Makes sense given that didn’t have a Sensha-Dō club till now. Did you tell her?

Koume seems more deflated than usual. You know exactly why.

<AppleFritz> I did. The accident left her hesitant to partake in Tankery. Just got out of her arguing with the president about it.

<Akaboss> How horrible! Please tell me when you make a port call so I can come and thank her in person! Do you have any idea what I can get her as a thank you gift?

9th April (Day 3)

You’re up early today, it’s the first day of the Sensha-Dō club and you are excited.

You and your crew are running final checks on Werewolf, all of you eager in anticipation. You aren’t the best in Germany (at the high-school level anyway) for nothing and by god you’re going to prove it.

The plan is for Werewolf to exit the tank garages, and do a round of the small field, to inspire the girls. At least that’s what Anzu’s hoping…

You see the doors open and hear your radio crackle to life, Yuzu’s voice in your ear. “Werewolf you’re clear to go, give them a show.”

“Understood.” You were never very verbose will tanking “Max get us moving! Left as we exit the building!”

“You got it, Boss.” Werewolf roars to life leaving the garage behind. You exit into the light and see twenty or so girls lined up outside, gawking at your tank.

Your lap of the grounds seems to go down well with the girls – All of them excitedly murmuring about the tank, the display and you.

“Alright, everybody!” You hear Anzu shout. “Let’s get straight into it!” The doors to the other garages are flung open. Everybody rushes to have a look.

.


.

.
And they find a single broken-down Panzer IV. Max, the insensitive bastard, bursts out laughing, much to the dismay of the assembled would-be tankers.

“Don’t worry ladies! We just have to find the rest!” Anzu exclaims, somehow managing to stay cheerful despite the less than stellar haul.

“Umm President where are the other tanks?” One brave freshman asks.

“We don’t know! So get looking!” Anzu says, managing to sound chipper despite the situation she found herself in “Chop Chop!”

You and your crew decide to
> Relax, you already have a tank
> Tag along with one of the search groups
> Dig through the archives and see if you can find anything (Roll 1d20 Bo3 Skill: History)

This is your first chance to seriously change the timeline. I will run finish today's session at the conclusion of today's events so no combat unfortunately

The different groups find their tanks

So the question now is: do we get a second tank for ourselves?

>>4228956

Indeed, perhaps the second most powerful gun on the team after your own

>>4228942
Probably not unless we can get a sponsor. A big thing with the show is Oorai's blatant lack of funding. The beginning line up is frankly half junk with the type 95 only really being able to stay in the field because of Duck team's literal shonen willpower, pretty much the same with the 38T except student council president super powers.

They had to make due though because they didn't have any other ways to get tanks except to find the basically forgotten wrecks in their school and repair those.

Also tanks are basically their own characters. I think it's for the best you learn to love and trust the Werewolf instead of thinking of replacing him!

>>4228942

Essentially this >>4228967

But the commanders of the other academies have 'obselete' tanks laying around and they all love a good wager. Make of this what you will

>>4228967
>I think it's for the best you learn to love and trust the Werewolf instead of thinking of replacing him!

He's also very upgradable!

>>4228964
Doesn't the Hippo have a slightly longer gun though? Iirc with the designations the Stug 3's barrel is 10 shells longer than the Chi-Nu while both have the same diameter.

Mallard team's got nothing on Hippo though. Those girls are skilled in Combat Tactics, Camouflage, Armor specifications and marksmanship. They're one of the most skilled off crews and unlike Duck they actually have a decent tank.

ngl I wouldn't mind dating a Hippo girl

>>4228978

You are correct, just consulted my notes and Hippo gets the High-Velocity perk whereas Mallard does not, meaning the gun is superior

>>4228971
Ahh so what you're saying is that we should do what Germany wouldn't which is to say steal Russian and American tanks then give them to Poland?

>>4228983

Exactly. Less steal, more bet for though

>>4228983
Why not just steal the crews too? Then we don't have to worry about compatibility issues between crews and tanks.

You allow yourself a laugh, German tankery was usually a serious affair, making moments like this one rare. “Alright guys, and Ruby, we’re surplus to requirement here. You’re dismissed until the rest of the Sensha-Dō club reconvenes. Ruby immediately leaves to tag along with Saori’s group, dragging a reluctant Axel. You wonder if that’s because he dislikes socialisation or the attention he’s getting from Saori. Max and Leo make like cats, rolling out a heat-proof mat on the back of Werewolf and promptly blasting some shitty American rap song or the other.

You make for Momo, you studied history to a high standard and your information gathering was second only to your professor.

“Momo-Senpai” you begin, addressing her politely. “Is it possible to access the archives? I wish to have a look to see if I can find any more tanks.” You say adding a small polite bow.

It seems that was the right course of action, if her beaming smile is anything to go off.

“Of course, you can!” She smiles at you. “Head to the Library and ask for the Sensha-Dō archives. Tell them Momo sent you. Just do one thing for me?” You cock your head at her question, prompting her to continue. “Call me Momo-Senpai one more time.”

“Momo-Senpai?”

“You hear that Yuzu! Momo-Senpai! Not Momo-Chan! Momo! Senpai!” You leave before you can get dragged into an argument.

.

.

The library is quiet, you are more or less alone. Following the directions given to you by the librarian you find the Sensha-Dō archives. You pull out the giant tome and plug in your headphones and get to work.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRhg2zvalXc


After an hour of scanning the pages a passage catches your eye

“Chi-Nu tank last used in urban combat manoeuvres, parking lot B 34. After this it went missing.”

Could it be? Another tank? You pick up your phone, punching in the number for the student council. It rings twice before Anzu picks up.

“Commander Hermann? That you? Where are you?” She asks.

“Yes, the library and I’ve found another tank.” You pause for a second before continuing. “Parking lot B 34, a Chi-Nu.”

“Oh? Well done commander, and here I thought you were slacking like the rest of your crew. I’ll send someone to get it, head back to the garages.” She hangs up and you take off for the Sensha-Dō warehouses.

You are greeted by a sight that raises your hopes for Ōoarai ever so slightly. 6 tanks, lined up next to Werewolf, ready to be born anew.

Well done today guys! I’m going to finish up this scene and update the pastebins in the morning

I have a couple questions
>What do you think of my writing so far?
>Do you like the history skill mechanic?

Otherwise take care and catch you same time tomorrow to finish this arc!
I’m on for another half an hour or so for questions.

>>4229006
>What do you think of my writing so far?
Its great. You’re great. Quests great.
>Do you like the history skill mechanic?
History skill mechanic best skill mechanic

>>4229006
>What do you think of my writing so far?
it's fine
>Do you like the history skill mechanic?
yes. i presume later will get bonus (negative in this case coz roll under) to our rolls after we get more information ?

So are we gay? That's a rare sort of protag.

>>4229013
Glad you like the quest so far :)
>>4229014
>i presume later will get bonus (negative in this case coz roll under) to our rolls after we get more information ?

Sort of the more you use the skill the greater your modifier. You may even get to the point of auto-successes
Rolling well on History will increase the dc on other types of roll, like the search here. Except in this case, the dc for the Chi-Nu search was already high so it became an auto success

>>4229016
That’s up to you guys, but I doubt it. You’ve not had much chance to talk to the girls recently but that will train after the kiddie wheels come off (the match with Gloriana)

>>4229006
>What do you think of my writing so far?
No complains although I do wish we can spend more time with the girls. I'm sure you want to get us to a fight as quick as possible though but even IC it's a bit jarring we just got here then we're being put to work and now we're practice training. Barely even got time to find out about the school which is alright for me since I watched the show.
>Do you like the history skill mechanic?
I don't mind but I hope we don't just keep locking ourselves in a room looking over papers every downtime.

Personal wishes, I wanna flirt with or at least tease Momo and Saori.

>>4229024
Well, we are effeminate, at least? If we don't have something along those lines from choosing a sport like Tankery, this will be just as god-awful as all those self-insert fanfics where boys stick their ugly mugs into the sport.

>>4229027
Thanks for the honesty! I agree with you on needing more time to talk to the girls. After the training battle Royale tomorrow, you’ll have a lot more time to spend how you see fit, including flirting with any girls you wish to flirt with.

>don't just keep locking ourselves in a room looking over papers every downtime.

Excellent point. I’ll consider a cool down period on the skill of a week or so if this gets to egregious

>>4229016
Out of a sea of best girls you really wanna go after OC Ikeman 1 or OC Ikeman 2? Maybe if this was Jojo with amazing Jojobros or male characters but really man we'd have to actively look for a decent male character everybody will like. And since males usually don't play Tankery they'd be an OC which is an immediate minus for me.

>>4229037
I don't want to go after any of the girls, just play tankery.

>>4229033
I’ve posted a picture of our MC further up in the thread.

I get your complaint about ruining Tankery and don’t worry, the majority of the Tankers you come across in Japan feel the same way you do. Ōoarai just doesn’t have a choice

>>4229039
I’m also anxious to get to Tankery, but knowing 4chan regardless of our gender we’d probably end up dating someone.

>>4229045
I don't wanna waste time on dating when we could be practicing taaanks!

>>4229039
I honestly wouldn't mind that but there's gonna be alot of downtime/bonding. Preferably we pick a girl early so it doesn't turn into a waifu war or saltfest later. GuP is like 50% slice of life though so comedic interactions like suggesting to Saori instead of boyfriends some girls might be dating other girls or bullying Momo as hard as everybody else in the student council because she really doesn't deserve that confidence will probably be par for the course.

>>4229043
I think he just really wants to have a trap protagonist. Iirc he's been saying how or somebody else went on praising this quest for having an effeminate gay protagonist.

>>4229046
You can't just lone wolf it. Tankery is a team sport, it involves working together towards a common goal and a shared passion. The dint of combat forges incredible bonds of friendship on both sides and the sacrifices each crew makes to see their team to victory hardens it even more.

There's a good chance something else sprouts from the friendship. There's even a good chance something else will sprout from any rivalries we make. This is a sport usually filled with respect and awe for both teams involve, add to the fact they're all cute girls and it'd be hard for /qst to resist when the time comes.

>>4229054
Yeah, but we don't have time for dates with Oarai's season coming up.

>>4229055
Depends on what you mean by dates, even in the show they had downtime after every match. It's not like everybody's always practicing all the time.

Plus if everybody votes to abuse the history skill we might still spend a lot of time with the History club girls(Hippo) or Yukari. All of whom love tanks and information. Yukari straight up secret agent infiltrates other schools to learn more information.

Ohh Duck gets a slightly upgraded tank? It's kinda sad to see them change tanks but then again they haven't gotten that attached to the type 95 and the type 89 still seems like shit.

>>4229607

Sorry, I may not have made it clear. To clarify our conversation yesterday on acquiring tanks yesterday:

Duck team still has the type 89 they get originally for now, and in the coming update, you'll see Anzu draft what becomes anteater team into the fold so the Chi-Nu is ready for St. Gloriana

Regarding the wagering I mentioned: The commanders of other schools are eager to see whether your crew and tank are worth giving the time of day and the best way to see that is some kind of tankery competition. The majority of commanders are open to a wager of some kind on those competitions. An opportunity to acquire new tanks or rare upgrades like that MG 131

I will begin writing today's first update in about 20 minutes.

“A Type-89 medium tank; a Panzer 38(t) light tank; an M3 Lee medium tank; a Panzer III Ausf. F. with an assault gun; a Panzer IV Ausf. D and a Chi-Nu medium tank.” You arrive in time to hear Momo say, scratching her head. “How shall we divide them?”

“How about they just take the one they found? We’ll take the 38t.” Comes Anzu, answering as if it’s the most obvious thing in the world.

“Right!” Comes Momo’s response. “Listen up ladies, your assignments are as follows.”

>Panzer IV – Team A – Nishizumi, Takebe, Akiyama and Isuzu
>Type-89 – Team B – The Volleyball club
>StuG III – Team C – The History Club
>M3 Lee – Team D – The Freshmen
>38t – Team E – Student Council

“We’ll have to find more tankers for the Chi-Nu.” Momo mutters before turning to you. “Hermann your tank will be Team W, for Werewolf.” She says with a little smile

>That’s fine
>Actually, I’d like to be… (Write-in)

“Our instructor arrives tomorrow afternoon, make sure you behave appropriately and get your tank clean by the end of today! Understood!”

“Yes Momo!” Comes the response from the other female soon to be tankers present.

You see the girls disperse into their teams, Erwin reprimands the other club members for insulting the Finnish somehow and the Freshmen girls oh-ing and ah-ing over their tank having two guns.

The girls leave to change into clothes more suitable for the wetwork they’re going to be doing. You resolve yourself and decide to help as many of them as you can.

Grabbing a tracksuit from one of Werewolf’s storage bins you head to a bathroom to change. Thankfully being a school Ōoarai is still required to have a male toilet. Somewhere…

> Help Miho and your other new friends

“Hey!” You look over to the Panzer IV where Miho’s shout came from and see Saori absolutely drenching her friends with the hose

“Saori… It’s too cold.” You here Hana moan. You sigh to yourself and grab a brush, starting your wet, soapy work with the rear engine deck.

“Hey Yukari, Girls.” You address your first friend. “Mind if I help you out?”

Miho smiles at you and gives a tiny bow of thanks. “Of course not Fritz. Thank you for helping.” The rest of the girls joining Miho in giving their thanks. You smile and get to work.

You eventually find yourself alone with Miho, cleaning the inside of the Panzer IV. Miho is steadfastly working on removing the grime from the driver’s seat. You are steadfastly ignoring the way she is bent over, focusing on cleaning the gun breech.

“Hey Miho,” You start, waiting for her to turn around. “Are you really alright with doing Sensha-Dō again? I heard the argument and I know you took last year’s final pretty hard. If you really don’t want to be here I can talk to Anzu about it…” You trail off seeing the small smile on her face.

“No.” She begins, a quiet wistful look on her face. “Thank you for asking, I’m glad I could make a friend who cares so much in so little time.” Her smile grows. “But if I leave now then I’m abandoning my friends who fought so hard for me and I could never do that.” Her smile is beaming now. It’s infectious and you find yourself smiling as well.”

>Help the History Club

You leave the Panzer IV after your talk with Miho and head over to the History club. You’d been meaning to talk to the History club for a while given your shared love of the subject.

“Cross the Rubicon!” Goes one.

“Tanks and Water, reminds me of Normandy’s DD tanks.” The one you know is Erwin says with a reminiscent sigh she has no right to make.

“I’d say tank cleaning is going more like Dieppe than Normandy at this point.” You remark with a wry grin as you approach their tank, bucket in hand. “Need another hand? One history nerd to another?”

Erwin stares at you, eyes burrowed, judging your intentions. Whatever her verdict she approves, breaking out into a smile. “Any historian is welcome here! No matter their speciality or Gender.”

“THAT’S RIGHT!” The rest of the History club exclaim as you get to work.

Working with the History Club is quite frankly fun. Full of historical jokes and little tibbits from the various eccentric personalities that compose it. Erwin even lets you borrow her hat!

“Hermann,” Ceasar says, looking at you deadly serious just as you jump off the StuG. “I think I speak for the entire club when I say we enjoyed your company.”

“That’s right!” The rest chorus. Caesar continues

“You need a soul name to be part of the History Club! Any ideas?”

The History club unanimously approves your choice as you walk away, promising to meet with them again soon. You move further down the line, and see poor Yuzu trying to clean the 38t by herself (in her underwear?). Anzu god knows where and Momo ordering Yuzu around.

You sigh and head over. “Yuzu? You need some help?” You ask, readying your bucket and brush. The smile she gives is nothing short of elated.

“Please,” She says, huffing from the effort of trying to clean a tank by herself. “Momo and Anzu are no help and I forgot my gym clothes! You’re a sight for sore eyes, Fritz.”

“No Problem,” You smile and shrug off your tracksuit top, handing it to Yuzu so she has a little more insulation from the rapidly declining temperature as the sun begins to set. “Let’s get moving Yuzu, I want to be done before it gets too cold.”

Between the two of you, you manage to finish the cleaning only slightly after everyone else does.

“Oh thank you, Fritz!” Yuzu exclaims, tired but beaming. “I could never have done it without you!” She continues, giving you a quick hug and a peck on the cheek. “Let me wash this top before I give it back.”

Before you can respond, Momo speaks up. “Well done, we’ll get the automotive club to do the rest of the maintenance tonight. You are all dismissed.
