"Viena, Austria 1923
Good morning, and thank you for attending the ribbon cutting for the latest venture of the Hamburg businessman and multi millionaire Pieter Vorschlaghammer. With great anticipation he would like to announce the formation of a new company, Trans-Asiatic Petroleum Prospecting & Salvage, Incorporated, intent on finding and exploiti- I mean, utilizing untapped oil reserves in Central Asia. With the anouncement of the company's formation also goes out an open invitation for employees to mount the company's first expedition."
Such is the background fluff for my Back of beyond force. I wil be using this thread to post additions to my force as it grows.
Not much, but here's the man himself, Herr Vorschlaghammer:
Herr Pieter Vorschlaghammer is a German businessman of wealth, a man a bit too fond of wine, and the expedition’s financier. The expedition’s purpose is to find Central Asian oil reserves to claim so that Herr Vorschlaghammer may profit from high petrol prices in his native Germany. He sought out the best experts money could hire to ensure the expedition’s success. He is armed with a fully automatic Spanish Astra 903 with an extended 20 round magazine, which is to his advantage given his near constant state of inebriation.
Also, a few (rough and ready) W.I.P. pics of his newest purchase for the expedition, a bit of Great War surplus: a Nieuport 11 biplane that he picked up cheap in France.
I've stated painting it, and I should get it done by this weekend.
Anyways, thanks for looking, and there'll be more on the TAPPS Inc. expedition as I get it done.
