How YN Soldiers feel about fighting the AN Soldiers

[Inkopolitia]

"It's almost like these generic OP space empires with no downsides are a dime a dozen. Let's just tell Aubrey and Surume to draw up a peace treaty, i'm getting tired of these generic countries."

-Commander of the 515th division of the INKAIRDEF

[Silver Commonwealth]

''It seems, that those so-called Inklings seem to be constantly getting stronger, while being supported by human lumpen republicans, which should fall under guillotine's blade as well. In fact, they are worse than monarchists, as at least monarchists can stand up for their system, while lumpen republicans serve nothing. Anyways, enough with political talk, and let's get to the point - as we noticed, they already seemed to have a significant experience with fighting against humans, as they were able to predict some of our tactics, and if the ink hit us, it hurt pretty badly. Also, individually they quite overpowered us. Still, in asymmetrical warfare, they were at uneven odds, and we were able to destroy small squads of them, while avoiding larger clashes, by using our fast all-terrain vehicles. Our missile strikes killed God-knows how many Inkling soldiers in the Andean mountains. And while they seemed to somewhat know South American terrain, we were still able to use terrain for our advantage. We also booby trapped the hell out of major roads, so a lot of their vehicles went kaboom. Even with their most modern defenses, warfare in Patagonia is a mistake, which you shouldn't commit.''

" This is just a weird battle. There seems to be specified equipment on their side since we've fought soldiers with swords and soldiers with lasers. their infantry that first came at us was armed with swords and rifles, they managed to get through the defenses we put up but retreated after we killed a few of them. They then cames with laser rifles and some strange vehicles that wiped out our armored platoon. We had to retreat, something the commanders are going to grill us about later. Now we're in the trenches waiting for them to come and attack or for Command to order the engineering corp to flood the marshes that surround these trenches" -A memoir of battle created by an unknown Fantassin Soldat de première classe

Why are all these Laws of Physics Abiding Peasants snarking us decent FT/FFT Space Empires? What did we ever do to you guys!?

"We were getting tired of this whole... charade. So we stopped holding back. It didn't take long. Not very long at all. They were slow, slower than snails in comparison to us. We outranged them from every angle, our mages tore them apart mind, body, and soul. Some of us decided to simply use our hands and legs over our weapons to at least give them a fighting chance."

It is because they fear us.

"Armature suits proved to be our saving grace. They gave us enough time to organize a response... They proved effective on the ground, but the XAX generators were our saviors in orbit... We managed to get the evac shuttles out on time, with what command deemed 'Acceptable losses in the face of overwhelming' odds."

[Adad Civilization]

I feel like there is a... slight disadvantage with their might and strength... oh who am I kidding? We're going to f*cking die unless Eion himself comes down from the heavens and fights on our side. Oh well, it's worth a shot.

[Alpes a Septentrionali Imperium]

" This was the easiest battle in history. We didn't even have to get into close combat with them, we just shot our guns at them and most of the peasant militia and even parts of their professional army just ran away. What was left we just slaughtered. I think this place will be a colony in a matter of days. I just hope they'll name something here after me once the colony is created." Général de brigade Carbonneau

[Deutschen Arbeiterrepublik]

"I do feel a little sorry for them. Sure, they fight in the defence of a corrupt and kleptocratic monarchy, but they are still fellow proletarians, and are completely outmatched. Our weapons tear through them as if they were made of wet cardboard, and thee is absolutely nothing they can do about it."

"The invasion went smoothly from the sea, but once our infiltration units got wind they had time travel technology, matters became more intense and delicate. We must prevent them from wanting to destroy the technology to prevent it from falling into our hands. Feigning our invasion being repelled, I estimate a 99.94% probability they will surrender to us once their government is assassinated and 25% of their population is replaced with infiltration androids. We will have time to steal their device."

"I ran into them on a scouting mission... They were... Ah, unhappy to see my Armature suit landing to study. They brought up a lot of vehicles- But not a lot damages an Armature suit... Especially one with an XAX-8 generator. I killed quite a few, and then got the survey results back. Left without looking back."

''They proudly marched with their mechas through the steppe, as it they would be enough to scare partisans away. Little did they knew, that the larger your robot is, the more easier it is to knock out its legs - something our American expeditionary generals taught us. Hence why our robots aren't much taller than a human. We managed to strike down their 28m mecha legs down with artillery, and rockets, and without legs, they were immobile wrecks. Of course, some of those were able to withstand extreme temperatures, but over 8500 celsius is pretty sketchy - diamond, the strongest of substances, can last only to 5000 celsius, and even then, it is brittle as hell, and can't be used for armor. While their ships are incredible, some of them face the same problem as for those giant mechas - they are easier to target, as they are larger. Humans don't make giant vehicles not because they can't - they don't make them because they have proved to be extremely impractical during history. Only real challenge could be psychological warfare, but we didn't even get that far. Overall, we turned Andean mountains in mass grave, thanks to partisan tactics. We burned the bodies of the dead afterwards, with Mapuche priests leading the burial ceremony.''

"Due to its effectiveness as a combat doctrine and as a shock and awe tactic, we began shelling their world with drop pods containing Killvec companies, directly into areas of high elevation. From there, we descended on their population centers and used searfire tactics to concentrate all our number's fire onto any and all targets encountered. Their military was swept away within a day, and they surrendered immediately after."

"Well shit! Now those Visoras swarmed Skyhooked, hell, we even have less ammo than they have units... I keep shootin' and throwin' things at them, but I don't understand one thing... Why the heck would they need Skyhooked?! We are but a dust particle to them..."-Militiaman.

[Treskovia]

"Originally, I was worried that this was gonna be a short war, as we heard from other universe-travelling powers that the Skyhookedians were just pirates with a country of their own. Imagine our surprise when they attacked us weith mecha scorpions. Now, we're outmatched, and it's the same as the War for the Americas. What's the War for the Americas? It's the massive 4-year conflict that led to the formation of the Union of the Americas. What, you don't have that country in your universe? Huh."
-Unknown private to news reporter from anonymous universe-travelling country, 3 days before the reveal that the conflict between the Unrestrained Commonwealth of Skyhooked and the Imperial Republic of Treskovia was orchestrated by a universe-travelling instance of First Chaplain Erebus of the Word Bearers Legion of Space Marines from the Imperium of Man

P.S.: Fuck Erebus.

"Darned Fascies. True, commies are shit as well- Wait, you want me to tell you about my experiences fighting them? Well, for starters, it was even. Their tech was slightly better than ours, so we sent a request to use the KSOSs. So far, I think that killed 'em. Ready up the Splatlings, girls! We ain't done yet!"

"Ah, the damned squids. To think that they substituted any notion of conventional warfare for just straight-up spraying us with fucking acid! My arm is still covered in burns, though the medics said I'd be fine. Still got the bastard that tagged me. Heh. Anyway, it's been an... interesting front so far. Mechanized units are doing well, and there isn't much they can do against the thaumaturges whenever they're dropped in, but their individual soldiers are a pain in the ass to deal with. They're just too damn fast, and the acid makes us hesitant to engage. I wonder what HELMINTH are making of all this - I won't be surprised if we get issued some acid-sprayers of our own soon enough. They also tried to hit us with kinetic strikes early on, but from what I hear their orbital platform got taken out by Vedogon not long after. I think we can pull through, eventually. I just hope my arm doesn't end up looking like a piece of chewed jerky for the rest of my goddamn life."

"Not wishing to overtly destroy this civilization's pristine Contact status, we instead opted for an infiltration war. As of the time of writing, over 40% of their population has been killed and replaced by Humanoid-model Social Infiltrator AnDroids (SIDs). Their government is almost completely corrupted by this point. I find it likely we can use this nation as a puppet to interact with its planet on our behalf."

"Alright, we had to go all out on this one. Even though they have an space force, the logistic and recon girls said that it's extremely small. Let it be known, we nuked and kinetic striked their political and economical centers to shreds. After that, we told the INKTEDEF and the INKAIRDEF that Berlin was free real state. They mobilized, and they took control of the city. Fuckin' commies, hope they burn in Hekk."
