I'd help you out, but I'm not a CO in this unit. Erik is the only active one as Raf and Strum are scarce. Erik this could also help with what we were speaking about.

Aye, Wolfram has gone slightly inactive again so I'll be looking into the applicants. I wanted to see this trial system implemented before hand, but I guess for now I will be accepting only those well-known and skilled into the unit and monitoring them their initial few weeks to see if they will stay or not.
I'll get around to this tomorrow. Got bogged down with some work this week and tomorrow is Friday.
I have taken the time to read over the last few pages of the divisional thread and have looked over all the applicants. To the others that have I applied, I am sorry to say I will only be accepting Obersturmfuhrer Anday into the division. The others who applied are too new and inexperienced (but may undergo a trial period in the future if they wish) or simply too inactive (this is more so the case on pretty much everyone who applied).
I wish to some blood pumped in to the 2nd SS and hope to aim us towards a more elite unit as Raf was hoping for. Anday, you are becoming an experienced member here and I have witnessed you do well in battle before. I believe I can trust you in the division, but you will not have too much power. I will not be adding you to the "council" (which is 2/3rds inactive) for now and will instead be monitoring you before allowing you any more control in the division.
Joachim von Goethe, you already have a character in the division, seem to be developing good skills in battle, and can be trusted. The only fault of yours is simply the fact that you are inactive. I have seen you lose/deter two battles on other accounts and I will simply not tolerate such in the Waffen SS. If you return to the site and can prove to me you intend to say active, I will reconsider your application. I recommend you become more active on Felix Odegaard.
For now Anday, you will be put in control of Platoon 4A of First Company, basically acting as 2nd in Command of that company. This is the Italian Company, which should be removed anyway seeing as we have no Italians and soon will not be able to have any Italians. Why Marlon Revien is still on the roster when the character is deleted, I do not know? But he will be kicked off and his men will be moved to the Reserves. I have not decided where to play the men, but will most likely leave them in the Reserves to be used by those who need them.
Welcome to the division, Anday. I hope to be able to put more of my time into the Waffen SS (as well as my own division) to keep it afloat. I know the officer inactivity of the division has been weakening it substantially, but I hope to get the division active and growing strong again. If you would like to help Anday, be my guest.

Just a quick idea, could you maybe change this company's name to "Foreign company"?
I would looooooove to be able to bring some more Hungarians into it, together will all those Finns, Norwegians and what else.
Anyways, thanks for approving my application. I guess you know what you're doing here and be sure, I'm completely with you, turning this division into the most elite one of them all.

The platoon will be named the Foreign Company, if you wish. I see no problems with it. The Italians in the SS seems a lot more irrational, so that will change.
Anday, I will be giving you a squad of the Italian reserves (6 men) to be renamed and then moved into your company. These men are:
- NPC: Lorenzo Pilino - NPC: Giovanni Alessio - NPC: Carlo Enrico - NPC: Nino Isaia - NPC: Dino Naldo - NPC: Franco Santo
Please list the six names you wish these to be changed to and you will be given control of them. I see you fit to command these men and now with weapons and men you may find yourself a battle if you wish.
P.S. JT said it would be okay to have the Italians renamed as long as I listed them and what their names were changed to. Don't want uncontrolled, random Italians sitting around in a platoon. You can see the 13 Italians in the bottom part of the reserves list. (14 if you include the Corporal).

Right, so my losses by name are:
Sgt Ebert Pvt Eichel Pvt Hertz Pvt Kölln
Also, because my Halftrack crew is still missing off the list, can Pvts Klein, Kappel and Barbarossa be transferred to it, and 3CP removed fromy my kitty to pay for the repairs.
Thanks a lot for these recruits. Here are the six names and in brackets you've got the nationality of them.
- NPC: Tibor Czako (Hungarian) - NPC: Milan Janka (Hungarian) - NPC: Andras Illich (Croatian) - NPC: Imre Gross (Hungarian) - NPC: Lieven Cornaert (Fleming)
And one of these guys may keep the old name:
- NPC: Dino Naldo (Italian)
Forgot about you, hehe. The six names will be added to your platoon and removed from the reserves.
There are seven Italian Pvts sitting around in the reserves if anyone would like to have a few. Luther, I know you lost a few in that battle, would you like to be reimbursed?
P.S. JT, I believe the stats were this:
Luther: 6 kills, 4 losses (5 on the bridge, one when the Strange's men fell back to the South) (Lost Ebert, Halftrack driver, Halftrack gunner, and that last guy in Owen's last post)
Schneider: 3 kills, 0 losses (2 by mine, Wilkerson at the end)
Just a small check-up on the division, have you listed all NPCs/Vehicles members of this division may have bought? If so, would you please advise me of what needs removing from member mini-profiles (including your own).
The divisional update will soon follow the shop update, so divisions will be kept tidy by staff moderation, who're happy to take chairmen seats as divisional moderators.
It has also come to my attention, that this division has no real divisional commanders present right now. Erik, if you are happy to assume command, you will be given the authority to take over this division as commanding officer. If you are unhappy to assume command, this division may find it's self under staff control or worse still, closed down possibly.
With the divisional update on due-course, all active divisions will be staff monitored and controlled in correspondence to the commanding officer's wishes, but inactive divisions lacking commanding officers, will be removed or assumed control by staff authority, which may include the 'booting' of inactive members within divisions. Including their leaders. Therefore allowing other officers to assume permanent command.
This may come as a shock, but without active leadership, everyone else within the division suffers. Thank you, ~Danny[/color]

Aye. Everything that needs to be added to the roster, has been added to the roster. The only thing would be the halftrack I captured from Merderet, which I have placed on the roster for now. I will fetch a crew to man it sometime in the future.
In the absence of both Raf and Strum, I will take on leadership of the division once more. I would hate to see the division shut down or go without an divisional CO. It is sad to see the SS's leadership so inactive, but I will gladly take control with hopefully the help of my fellow Obersturmfuhrer Anday.

I will be posting more on IO. My construction season has come to an end and i am laid off till spring. Paid to sit through the cold winter . I intend to make some CP through neutral role play. I will be active.

Few things.
Seeing as Wolfram and Strum are both unfortunately inactive, I am going to appoint Andy as Second in Command being the only other experienced, active officer of the 2nd SS.
Oberstabsfeldwebel Luther has request four of the Italian men in the reserves. Seeing as he lost some men in his last victory and needs his manpower replenished for his next battle, I have granted him with four of the Italians in the reserves. They're to be renamed as Luther seen fit, removed from the reserves, and placed in his platoon. So Luther, could you give me for new names for these men:
- NPC: Lorenzo Pilino - NPC: Giovanni Alessio - NPC: Carlo Enrico - NPC: Nino Isaia
Sturmscharführer Albrecht, it's a nice to know you are back at IO and active. Unfortunately, it would appear that Raf accepted you but did not add you to the roster before he went inactive. So, I will do so now. You are going to be placed as commander of Platoon 2AA of Second Company. I would like to sort out that mess of color with Schlegal however, before I move one of the two Sergeants to a new platoon.
P.S. Found some trouble with the ranks when sorting out all you Sergeant Majors. For some reason, Raf had added the Wehrmacht Sergeant Major rank above the Sturmscharfuhrer rank and put some of the Sturmscharfuhrers there. Simply removed the Oberstabsfeldwebel and moved the Sturmscharfuhrers there to their rightful place.
