366 Squadron RAF - Mission 9 this Saturday

Here's a peek into the concept...

As the 366 team sweeps through the German Bunker on a search and destroy mission, they make the amazing and frightening discovery of their new secret weapon.

Prep for 366 Squadron RAF Mission 5

Second Life roleplaying is great fun and I love planning RP events. Part of that is a search for props... sometimes exploding props. While chatting, I told my good friend Buzzbox Munro about my roleplay plans. Buzz is a great guy and a wonderful creator of WW2 Era items in Second Life. 

I told him specifics about our next 366 Squadron RAF mission based in part on the Norwegian Heavy Water Sabotage by the Norwegian Resistance and the British SOE. He was kind enough to recreate VICE Target explode-able Heavy Water Processing Tanks. 

These tanks will "star" prominently in our next few missions, the beginning of a new story arc.

EXTRAS: Random photos from the AXIS side








We're working on a Second Life machinima project that would combine the feel of two movies: Battle of the Bulge and Operation Crossbow

For the next 4 to 6 weeks I'll be shooting stock footage I can use in any WW2 video project.

WW2 New Bastogne Test Movie 1




It's been a while since I created videos in Second Life. 

This is a test machinima produced in the WW2 Combat roleplay regions of New Bastogne, recreating German Occupied France. 

Music by Ron Goodwin from the soundtrack of Force 10 from Navarone. Track 1 Prologue and Track 2 Main Title. Onscreen: Zoe Connolly. OffScreen as Tank Commander: Varus Ordram.

Is she looking for Allied Spies and Saboteurs? Not today. Today she's listening to Christmas music from classical to modern. Songs that range from touching and sentimental to parody and just plain nostalgic fun. 

Merry Christmas!


Enjoy the Holiday Truce and time with family and friends!

Resistance Photos of AXIS Activity






The recent photographs and snippets of conversation between German Officers just bring up more questions for Allied Intelligence. 

  1. What is the full conversation between the Luftwaffe Officer and the two Abwehr Officers?
  2. What is the intended use of this empty bunker? 
  3. When can we schedule another recon mission?

WW2 Roleplay in Second Life

We're doing more than just KillCount Combat.

For those interested in such things, we operate several WW2 groups specific to roleplay (RP) in the New Bastogne regions in Second Life. We felt it was lacking depth without our kind of mission oriented RP, so we've created these groups to augment the combat games that normally occur. We're filling in the gaps. Instead of KillCounts, we do spy and sabotage missions.

On the Allied side:

366 Squadron RAF (owner Cornelius Fanshaw)
One of the more obscure squadrons of the RAF. Very few records of the wartime service are  available other than some tantalising details in other unit histories. Labeled as a "Special Duties" squadron, it is known to have taken part in Operation Backfire and Operation Surgeon and to have been used by SHAEF as part of T-Force.

ALLIED INTELLIGENCE (WW2 Era) (owner Zoe Connolly)
An ALLIED COMMUNICATIONS group dedicated to providing the latest intelligence on AXIS positions and movements in the WW2 Era New Bastogne Regions that simulate NAZI Occupied France. MI6, SOE, OSS, 366 Sqn RAF, T-Force.

 ALLIED INTELLIGENCE Recon

La Résistance française  (owner Zoe Connolly)
La Résistance française is a group dedicated to espionage and sabotage roleplay in the WW2 Era New Bastogne Regions that simulate NAZI Occupied France. We work in coordination with the following groups: ALLIED INTELLIGENCE and 366 Squadron RAF.

The French Resistance group is perfect roleplay in SL for women with moxie.  Just look at this article of the derring-do of real life Resistance Fighter Simone Segouin. Simone was 18 years old when she fought the Nazis.







On the AXIS side:

Abwehr III Counter-Intelligence  (owner Zabrina Jaeger)(aka my alt Zabrina McMahon)
Abwehr III Counter Intelligence IIIF and Minister of Armaments and War Production, Albert Speer, assigned a special Abwehr team to Caen France. Our Mission: To stop the SOE, OSS, T-Force, 366 Sqn RAF and their attempts to steal or destroy Reich special weapons technology.

We decided we needed an AXIS adversary that played by our roleplay rules and in the end, lost most of their battles to us as ALLIES. Who better to do this than us, right?

Zabrina's backstory
Major Zabrina Jaeger of the Abwehr III. A cold and calculating intelligence officer sent to Caen France by Minister of Armaments and War Production, Albert Speer. Her mission: to protect assets and personnel related to German Military Secrets and Wunderwaffe.
