How YN Soldiers feel about fighting the AN Soldiers

[Bartson]

" These guys might not have the most high speed gear but I will say this, they are some of the most hard and brutal enemies we have encountered. Stubborn is an understatement when you have to push a platoon of dug in KNA, we just called them Kilo Alphas..." Sgt.Burns, Bartson State Army Guard, Infantry

[Independent Republic of Boldonia]

These guys fight like the Americans, the only problem for them is that we have the real Americans supporting us. Their weapons are technically better it's just that we have more of them and more foreign support from them. If we lose a helicopter no problem American factories will cover that loss, them not soo much. Overall it came down to manpower which we surprisingly had more of, usually it's the other way around.

It was easy. We just shelled their capital and nuked their ports and airfields, striking hard and quick, with heavy shelling of their cities as things fell into disarray. I'm certain they capitulated quickly given their capital was vaporized... But the rest was done purely for good measure. Their defeat was a swift victory for us, before NATO could even respond... Now all we need to do is strike against NATO itself.

While their infantry was no match for ours their "Steamroller" vehicles are tougher than their average land vehicles. They can even withstand a direct hit from a Catathract.

“They also have lazer guns, who would have thought? Those runners are a pain in the ass to deal with, thought to be fair, I guess they are called runners for a reason, but they are still a thorn in mein side. Like this one time, my sniper buddy was scouting the area, and one runner was so quick and slim, he was able to hide and then sneak up on him and snap his neck. Oh, wait, I got him. About time too, this shoutout lasted half an hour and neither of us had the guts to fully come out behind our respective barricades”-Huffmanian army officer

“Franz? You are going to want to see this” “mein gott, there are so many” “do you want me to arm the missiles?” “No, I want you to discuss your differences over te-OF COURSE I WANT YOU TO ARM THE MISSILES” “alright, you don’t have to shout at me!” “Sorry, my bad” “Danke for apologizing komerade” “ok”-2 huffmanian missile operators arguing with each other

"So, how did ya' end up here? Last thing I remember is our tachanka tryin' to dodge the fire from their Catathract and retalitate with anti-air rockets. We barely managed to damage it till it decided to fly off, but in the proccess it's engine got busted, must have been indirect hit with some explosion... Then, we got hit with something explosive and flew everywhere. I fell and cracked my head on some rock. Helmet didn't help much."-Road Warrior in Valhalla.

"Oh, dude... ya' really hit your head. We were in one tachanka! Don't ya' recognize me? I also flew, but into other direction. Right into wet mud. Got up and then suddenly a stray missile flies right at me. Dodged it... But got hit with three bullets to the chest. That was... hearbreaking, ha!"-Road warrior 2 also in Valhalla.

Double ninja

"So, dudes... We ended up with lots of waffles... Barks Nivvlla dudes attacked us for some reason and we fought well. Like, we battled their warriors and it wasn't something too specific or strange, except the loot, that included lots and lots of those waffles. At least, we got something to quench the munchies from weed we smoked after the victory in battle."-Man-at-arms.

[Gonswanza]

Precise, disorganized strikes against their civilian and military assets work best. Day after day, the strikes are ramping up, they don't seem to be too aware of where we come from, especially with the sharp ambushes, though they are starting to catch on and have begun reinforcing possible targets. It's interesting, really. We have even stolen some weapons from them, just to use against them! Losses are starting to mount on both sides in this harassment campaign though, I sorta miss the old days of just blasting and capping stupid American dogs with glass nailbomb grenades and pipe guns.

They kinda froze due to the constant blizzards every few hours we also shoot down all their aircraft with Mach 8 anti air missiles, the y also have hard time using their Air Force with the constant anti air missile attacks invade me during ‘summer’ it will be much better!

At first those unusual energy devices caused problems as they were great at pointing out our positions however after the first few times we found them easy pickings as they seem to emit this bright green light and stay still in the air for a few seconds.
Easy pickings for our Distanic Knight infantry to pick off/
Other than those weird energy devices they were no match for the army ad they had no aerial units to speak of other than those wood based aircraft.

Those bugs are a pain to deal with
Even with our Cataphract runs they still seem to be able to recover quickly. But not quickly enough to save their efforts or to break our lines.

[Knights Mare Nostrum]

"A fairly difficult campaign, it was... The first sign that war was even declared was when they deployed their forces from orbit and executed precise strikes on our command centres, taking a few utmost important in our command and not even minding the logistics of reaching our mainland thanks to their presence in outer space. Their armour was nearly as good as ours, if not better, and engaging in close quarters was difficult for the most part since their plasma weaponry penetrates our Nostrumium armour like nothing. And when they realised their main infantry's bullets did nothing, but high-powered Gauss and plasma weapons did, they utilised that instead. Those mecha suits of theirs were surprisingly a pain to deal with; since while their bipedal mechs can usually be taken out with ease by way of, say, a well-placed grenade, a Javelin missile or cavalry armed with lunge mines, getting within that distance was moderately difficult thanks to the hail of laser and heavy artillery fire that their generals must have capitalised on the moment they realised it.

Even with initial air supremacy within our territory, our sheer fanaticism and an overwhelming number of forces, they were holding us off for a good period. Though they couldn't bring us to arrest thanks to our dedication to God and our willingness to fight them at an appropriate distance, they soon adapted and held up a newfound policy of holding no quarter for even the wounded. The only things that may be able to save us now in these trying times will be either a sufficient guerilla campaign or sheer divine intervention, and I have a feeling the former will be more likely..."

"There infantry put up a brave effort, but maybe they should have had you know, modern weapons? though they do have some modern and even futuristic tech, I think some should have gone to supplying the infantry with firearms instead of swords. Cutting through swarms of swordsmen was a bit boring at some times to be honest. Sitting back while having snipers, machine gunners, artillery, mortars and tanks pound there formations was a sight to behold, while there was the occasional HIMARS and drone attack the AA and Iron dome systems do negate that, a lot. While we haven't encountered them in close range combat yet I doubt actually dealing with that would be as easy as shooting them up from a distance. There was one instance where a recon squad managed to see an entire formation of knights charge into a few platoons of Type 10 MBT's, the sound of auto cannons and 165mm HEF rounds more or less deafened any sort of chant the knights where yelling, the only thing they had to show for it was a scratch on one of the tanks from a pike or something, though it was a sight to behold watching hundreds of armored bulldozers try to assault us, they where laughably slow and our AT guys wanted to actually give them time to get closer to quote "Give them a small chance to actually hit us.", they weren't gonna hit us any time soon. I do admire their effort thought it was just all in vain due to the technology gap"

Their battleships are nothing to scoff at... But the Totec and Xiuhcoatl are nothing to scoff at either! Or the Alicorn! Alas, my ship, GMF Totec, is having a ball with her railguns ripping through that poor antiquated piece of shit. From what I hear, the Gonswanzan navy is tearing them a new one! And there's reports from [redacted] that [redacted] is just pulverizing their logistics and defenses... And it even struck the capital! Ha! Now watch this-

Captain [redated] of the GMF Totec, before a railgun fires upon a target from beyond visual range, hitting true against SNV Fubuki... The damage is rather absurd for a 16cm gun... Then again, it's a 16cm railgun

These flamethrower drones are very annoying as they cook our soldiers alive. What is a bit more problematic is their breaking of the Geneva convention with gases. Get the gas masks out! Arm the tanks!

"While they are incredibly advanced, perhaps among the most creative of weapons technologies I have seen from most armies, we sadly seem to have a counter for most of them. They initially had managed a naval landing onto our shores, having a surprisingly large fleet of their own, and fired upon us with lasers. After the first few casualties, we quickly called upon a reserve of Electricity monks to absorb their fire and engage them in close combat, and when we tried to approach, a few of them surprisingly stopped firing and started to dig around them in order to try and fix themselves a trench, so when we closed in, we were met with a few trying to use their spades on us. We disarmed them of their guns, and the ones who engaged in melee were restrained as well, some having their arms and legs broken to prevent them from committing a self-sacrificing attack on us with grenades and such. However, a few of them managed to tunnel under us, and as such caused explosions through underground landmines which took a few good men down.

We managed to take the first wave to the dungeons to be held as temporary prisoners to be exchanged when the oppurtunity revealed itself, but then they started to deploy a few chemical weapons. There were gases that smelled of an odd blue cheese, but were lethal, which is where we had to use our Toxin monks to try and clear it out, but these were followed up with a bomb that released some deadly form of capsaicin that our Fire, Air and Toxin monks had to collaborate on to rid of. To our Fire monks, their Pepper Bombs seemed to have as much effect as a bowl of Sichuan chicken, so the next wave that tried to follow up got a nasty surprise when our firey spit was made even more potent as they recieved at utmost painful beating, with the capsaicin spit being combined with precise punches. There were very few deaths in their department, even less so than on our side, but they had far many more injured. I suspect it will be quite a while before their medical systems will have the capacity to re-establish another invasion. That is, if we don't organise peace beforehand..."

As basic as their las weaponry is, They still are more of an actual threat than their progectile launchers. Also their skirmishing tactics while not effective against our armour is quite infuriating for the troops as all it does is keep them on edge.

As formidable as they are in cqc we have managed to best enough of them to find weaknesses in their methods and fighting style,If possible we have tried to study their martial arts style and we might incoparate it in our own. However their punches are capable of damaging and in a few cases piercing our armour and they are able of withstanding many blows from our weapons. Thankfully we have managed to negotiate a treaty with them.
