New Venture: Beer Over IP

Grey Ranks is an indie, limited duration, narrativist tabletop RPG set during the Warsaw uprising of 1944 against the Nazis.

To recap the history: the Polish resistance, which owed allegiance to the British-supported Polish government in exile, rose in 1944 as Soviet troops invested eastern Poland and advanced toward Warsaw. Soviet troops halted their advance scant kilometers from Warsaw, and waited until the Nazis had utterly destroyed the uprising, advancing only afterward, ultimately installing their own puppet Communist regime. The British and Americans asked Stalin permission to use airstrips behind Soviet lines to airdrop supplies to the Poles, and were refused. Stalin thus gained twice; the resistance injured the Germans, and the Germans wiped out any possibility of organized Polish resistance to the establishment of a Soviet-controlled regime in Poland.
