(Allright. Trying to run something on a considerably smaller scale than before and with all the attention being on only one char. Mechanics will be revealed after part 2 of the chargen since I don't care if it interests people right away or not. Want to keep people guessing what this is.

Units:
GI: The common infantry of the Allies, usually wearing basic armor and carrying around both a machine pistol which they use when they are on the move and a heavy machine gun which they use when they take up defensive positions, both inside buildings or behind quickly built sandbag barriers.
Tactic: Medium Danger. Mediocre firepower and useless against vehicles, so can be defeated through normal means. Become a lot more dangerous when they have taken up defensive positions due to increased firepower. Dedicated anti-personel weaponry, long rage combat or melee combat is suggested.
Guardian GI: GIs with better armor who use 'Seeker' Missile Launchers and are capable of quickly erecting defensive barriers out of collapsible steelplates they carry with them. Once defensive positions are taken they are capable of using the 'Red Eye' system of their weapons for increased accuracy and range.
Tactics: Low Danger. Low danger to infantry due to minimal explosive power of used rockets. Medium danger against vehicles and airborne units. Engage at your leisure.
Attack dog: Attack dogs. With sharp teeth. Thats all you need to know.
Tactics: Medium Danger. Kill them at range, hope you are faster with a knife than they are with their teeth, avoid them or wear armor that is tough enough that they can't harm you. Have a tendency to look through most attempts at stealth.

Rebels: Untrained rabble usually equiped only with old assault rifles, pistols or whatever else they have stolen from either the Allies or the Soviets
Tactics: Minimal threat. Only dangerous in great numbers.
RPG Trooper: Untrained rable usually equiped with low-quality Anti-Tank weaponry stolen from either the Allies or Soviets.
Tactics: Minimal threat. Only dangerous in great numbers. Do not get hit while inside lightly-armored vehicle though.
Technical: Speedy trucks (usually pick-ups) with a machinegun (rarely bigger weaponry) mounted on the back.
Tactics: Low threat. Fast, cheap for Scorpion Cell to acquire and equip and the machinegun can easily kill unwary infantry. Kill gunner first.
Demolition Truck: Trucks filled to the brim with explosives. Nuff said.
Tactics: Extreme Danger. Destroy at distance. Aim for where the explosives are stored.

20 is the cap for everyone
Training gets harder per Rank
Energy Weapons 5-6 75% Chance for Rank up

Training is only for skills you know. To get a new skill, you have to be given a push/get fundamental knowledge to work from.
You can suggest skills and where the character would have picked them up and when they make sense I will add them to the Character Sheet.
Can train Skill/Attribute a maximum of twice per week (no Unarmed x3).
Levels of skill:
1-2 worse than average
3-4 average
5-6 better than average
7-8 better than trained
9-10 almost very well trained
11-12 very well trained
13-14 better than very well trained
15-16 almost superhuman
17-19 superhuman
20 one of the best on the planet
Research:
Blueprints can be found/bought and studied.
Difficulty depends on what is studied.
Inventions can be researched.
Will be rolled on random table, under a threshold nothing happens.
Rolls depend on Science and INT Attribute.
Perks can be gained through special actions or levelups. Every time you level up there will be a choice.
Some Perks have a progression system: Beginner -> Intermediate -> Advanced -> Expert -> Master
Items can be bought at various stores or self-made if appropiate workshop is available.
Items now with quality system: Low quality -> Medium quality -> High quality -> Ultra High Quality -> Legendary Quality
