You guys think that the Spirit warrior idea HEEHEHEEHEHEHEHe....... OH no we have a more sinister plan for these boys. Not so much a robot for containment either more of a uniform able to hold the "Spirit entity" of the dead warrior. Chew on that for a while. Cheers, Robert The Germans are going to bring back Charlemagne?

I don't see much reason to limit America to shamanism, for two reasons. First, the US was already a melting pot for the world. While Amerindian shamans could easily exist, so could mystics from any other culture that had transplanted to the US. That said, a Windtalker that could function as an occult radio operator would be simple to add. Second, the US had plenty of people that were into other forms of mysticism. Edmund Cayce has been mentioned, but there were plenty of societies, both secretive and not, that were into different aspects of occultism and mysticism. Go with the traditional Freemasons controlling the government theories, and you have a large organization opening already. The Freemasons would oppose Nazi attempts to control America, or the rest of the world. With traditional theories of Freemasonry going back to occult ancient Egypt, you have a lot of mystical material. For special occult operatives, military intelligence used several archeologists and other scientists both for research and to keep tabs on German scientists in the field. While they may not be a full fledged organization on their own, enough single operatives brought together can make a good team. Of course, I just watched the new Indiana Jones movie, and he's described as a former OSS colonel that had done several secret missions during the war. While Indie keeps ignoring the occult and mystical encounters he has ('There's a rational explanation'), other researchers could embrace what they see, and attempt to understand it better.

Theres also a massive African-American occult underground: secretsofthethirdreich.com/forums/index.php?topic=125.15 Those were my ideas (halfway down the page) but there's plenty more. Mysticism and Freemasonry have been mentioned, there's also the chance to rip off Lovecraft and Poe, both of whom have lots of good Americn occult potential. Conspiracy is a big area to explore because America is filled with conspiracies, lots of cryptozoology as well.

I think you'll enjoy them. -Matthew

There is also some African-American superstition and arcane traditions being delved into by the OORD. Nothing is too sinister for them to harness for the war effort and they don't mind waiting at the crossroads at midnight to meet 'special' arms dealers.

That'a perfect. It's the cross between the WWF's Papa Shango and Baron Samedi from Live and Let Die...
I had a Soviet group before, and precious little interest in the US forces, but this and the Skinwalker have just tipped me over.
Is this lined up to be a multi-part model with various options, or more of a 'route one' design?
