1870-1920 Era War: A Twist (IC)

[Arengin Union]

II Corps had arrived in Arengin, meeting with I Corps, raising Manticoran force numbers to 240,000 men, 8,000 tanks, and 3,200 armored cars. III Corps would finish its training in five weeks while IV Corps had seven more left. The Army was conducting amphibious assault drills and communicating with the Eakan forces.

The Arenginian ministry of foreign affairs had enacted a high command order for there to Ovograd be protected with 100,000 Arenginian soldiers in charge to oversee the actions od the Manticorian. Rules had also been set to the Manticorian commanders.

1. No weapons inside the town.
2. Training is limited to only the nearby beaches and the soldiers must have their weapons unloaded.
3. Arenginian military personnel will be carefully watching over the exercises.
4. Arenginian laws applied to the Manticorian army while in Arenginian land. No exception.

Winds of Change

Words, words, words. By the staccato clatter of Morvernian military telegraphy and the cream-colored sheafs of Calmontum's courtly correspondence, the servants of the Dowager-Sultana brought her will to bear upon the world.

To Jadakk Khan, Imperator of Asgeirria,

We have considered your offer to secede in peace our claim of protection to Jutland and found it wanting. It contains neither shred, hint or proof of merit and is therefore rejected, utterly and entirely. Further more, in reference to Imperator Jadakk Khan's last missive: the Government of the Republic of Asgeirria may consider this a formal declaration of war. For violating the neutrality of Her Enduring Majesty the Dowager-Sultana's protectorate of Jutland, and suspicion of conspiracy to attack her Enduring Majesty's settlement and subjects along the shores of Seykellid Bay, the Sultanate of Al-Morvern hereby makes it known that a state of war now exists between it and the Republic of Asgeirria.

To the Government of the Empire of Manticore,
CC to Emperor Johann I of the NCSU
CC to Heinrich Himmler, Führer of Wargloria

In reference to the Government of Manticore's earlier request to make use of Jutland as an avenue of advance into Asgeirria, the Government of Al-Morvern has decided to reverse its earlier decision. Henceforth, and for the duration of hostilities with the Republic of Asgeirria, land and naval forces of the Empire of Manticore shall have full access to the province of Jutland. Let the Asgeirrian scoundrels tremble.

To Heinrich Himmler, Führer of Wargloria

In the interest of furthering the effort of Al-Morvern's armored forces against our mutual enemies, the Government of Al-Morvern desires to make it know that a copy of the technical and mechanical blueprints for the "land ships" or "tanks" in current use by the Empire of Wargloria's armed forces would be greatly appreciated.

From: Randall Hanz, 17th Lord of Aelifland

First Speaker,

My Emperor has directed me to extend his sincerest gratitude for your reconsideration. The first units of Manticoran troops will be arriving shortly, as will an Imperial diplomatic envoy. While we would never presume to instruct you on internal matters or diplomacy, we would like to request an extension of your invitation to the Eakan Military. A key part of this campaign will be the Eakan Army.

Please extend our gratitude and submit our request to Her Enduring Majesty the Dowager-Sultana.

The Army in Arengin loaded back onto their transports, bound for Jutland. With the opening of a land war against the Asgeirrians, the conflict had escalated, forcing 4th Army to begin training with armored vehicles. III Corps was being shipped to Jutland at the end of the week and IV Corps would be there in another month. Three months from now, 4th Army would deploy. A battle group was detached from Home Fleet for Battle Fleet 2.

Hetmund

Al-Morvern

On the Run

Senior Agent Heymund rode with his 4 other Agents. 2 NAD and 2 Okran, they rode back for Congarin.

After hours of riding, they pitched a campsite out in the wasteland. 4 Grey-Green Tents surrounding a Fire pit, which was currently unlit.
One of the NAD Agents broke out the teams Ration Pack, and handed out Stale Bread, Beef Jerky, and Chocolate

The Unconscious "Carmichael" was laid on the ground, wrapped in a quite thick blanket.

The man began to groggily wake up, and Heymund ran to his side

Senior Agent Heymund: Agent Carmichael! We are so glad you are still alive!

[The Traansval]

Battle of Fort Trieze

1819 Hours (6:19pm)

Fort Trieze
Veice Line

Sylbania
The Traansval

Lieutenant Jackson:CHAAAARRGE!

URA!

The soldiers of the Entente ran in mass against the Fort that sat a top its mountain, staring down at them.
The Arengin's charged ahead of them all, running up the central (And only) path up the mountain to the Fort's Gates.
Thanks to the work of the Monument Men, the Gate and most of the wall next to it were blown to pieces, but Free Sylbanian Machine Guns still hammered away at anyone who ran up the Path.

The Monument Men now scaled the Walls, using Grappling Hooks and Climbing Gear, they went straight over the top and began to fight the Free Sylbanians and their Foreign Volunteers on the Battlements. Down below, the first Entente Troops were breaking through into the Fort Courtyard.

Twelve Islanders, Boers, Aclusians, Arengins, hell even some Norcourt Foreign Volunteers were fighting in the fray. It was a whole mess of Color's and Uniforms, Al-Morvernians in their Sand Khaki fighting Boers in their Green-ish Blue Standard Issue. Warglorians in their Grey Uniform and wearing their Spiked Helmets, fought the Arengins who wore their Tan Battledress. Free Sylbanians, in their Dark Green Uniforms and Peasants Clotches fought to the death against all of them. Mustn't forget the Twelve Islanders, their Muddled Blue shown brilliantly as they charged in, slashing and dashing their way through the masses.

While the Fort was a Fort, it was also a old Castle. As such, the Fort had almost a mini-town within its walls. When the Castle had first been created, it houses hundreds of Merchants, Nobles, and anyone above the common rabble that lived in the village of Trieze down below.

But it was a Castle no more, now it was a Fort! But, the Houses remained, and for Months had housed the Free Sylbanians and their Allied Troops. Now, it was a logistical nightmare, because as the Entente Advanced, the Free Sylbanians fought a dirty game of Urban Warfare. Soldiers fired out of windows, tossing grenades or bullets then disappearing into the Maze of houses. One squad of Norcourtian's turned a corner, and found a Machine Gun waiting for them.

The Free Sylbanians knew that they were outnumbered, and that their Defenses had broken.

But they were going to make the Entente Pay for this Fort

Pay, in Blood...

[Arengin Union]

Battle of Fort Trieze

1819 Hours

Sylbania

The Arenginians kept going up alongside their Entente comrades. Keeping it slow this time as they climbed up the rocky and wood filled terrain. Many would still take fire from the rifles of the Sylbanian's.

The Monument man had done their work, the Sylbanian's though had made a defensive line around the shattered entrance as they kept firing to the incoming soldiers. Mostly Arenginians were the ones who would be shot. Despite this the joint forces kept advancing until they were mere meters away from the entrance. Sylbanian and foreign soldiers firing from the walls and the towers.

Finally the Arenginians pushing beyond the call of duty finally arrived in masses to the entrance and began to brutally fight with the Sylbanians just like they had in the town right below. Sylbanian and foreign troops kept firing from the top as the Boer, Aclusian, and Islandersm with help of Norcutian fired back at them, covering the Arenginians as they pushed inside the fortress.

The Arenginian flag carrier was also fighting for control of the flag as a Sylbanian rebel tried to take it from him.

[The Traansval]

Eisenwald Prison

Agent Heinrik: Agent Jengur, document all you can find

Jengur nodded, and pulled out a small pocket Camera and started taking photo's of all of the Files

(Image)

Heinrik ran with Scimitar to look through the files

Eisenwald Research Section

Agent Danvers rioted among the Prisoners, fighting the Guards

A giant mob of men in Grey clothes filled the Prison, overwhelming the Guards

Out of one of the Doorways, Danvers saw Doctor Richtofen.

Danvers had his mission, and only one shot

Agent Danvers: DIE MONSTER!

Danvers fired off his one shot from his Derringer, aimed straight at Richtofen's head

Eisenwald Courtyard

Lieutenant Gunther lead his Foreign Legionaries and the Mob of people in the riot, and at the Gates of Eisenwald

Lieutenant Gunther: BREAK IT DOWN, STORM THE PRISON, TAKE DOWN THIS MONSTROSITY!!!

The gate fell, most likely from the pure weight of the couple of Hundred people pushing it down.

The Mob stormed the courtyard, Elite Foreign Legionaries picked off Machine Gunners and Spotlight Operators, while the Mob stormed the Policemen and DSG Guards that stood in their way.

It was pure panic and pandemonium

Perfect...

OOC: To explain the following, Richtofen went through some weird shit, such as religious things, experimentation, curses, etc etc (which explains his madness), he eventually developed a healing capability, however, he's the only one, as all others who followed this path died. So he's the only one, and im not going to use him on the front lines, it's simply the case he won't be killed.

IC: Eisenwald, Research Section
Richtofen was simply walking down the hall, whistling to himself while fiddling with a bloody knife. When suddenly, a man showed up and shot him in the head, penetrating him right through the eye. However, instead of falling, Richtofen simply looked back at Danvers, as the bloody hole in his head slowly filled up and repaired itself, healing it as if nothing happened. "Hello mein pretty, ready to be examined by der doktor? HEA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Richtofen shouted and a very high pitched and mad sounding voice. As he continued to laugh, he pulled out 2 pistols, and started firing at Danvers.

Eisenwald Files Room
Scimitar read through a lot of files, a few very interesting, but not what he was looking for, these are a few of the titles:
-Native Tribes found on a new Peninsula, colonisation on the way lead by General William Allinium......
-All untermensch being sent to gas chambers......
-New continent sighted, will be code named Angelon......
-Operation Nika, spread chaos across Entente.......
-Synthesised Blood Cough Virus developed, succesful testing in the Twelve Isles.....

And some more, however, he eventually found a safe labeled D6. "I've found it! Shit it's locked!" Scimitar said. Suddenly, there were distant voices in the hall. "Scheisse, Warglorian Reinforcements, we need a way to open this safe and fast!" Scimitar said.

Eisenwald Courtyard
The Warglorian Garrison was quick to react, soon machine guns and artillery fire was raining on the peasants, but some how there were still so many, and some of them were being sniped. The commander of Eisenwald, Alfred Schmidt, saw from a distant tower as the place was being overwhelmed. "Damn it, zis vill not happen, no one breaks into Eisenwald and get's away with it........tell the troops to put on the gas masks, prepare ze Mustard Gas!" Schmidt said.

Suddenly, speakers were sounding, the man was saying "CODE G, CODE G, WE HAVE A CODE G, REACT ACCORDINGLY!" The speaker said. All of troops knew what this meant, quickly the soldiers put on gas masks and the MPs who didn't have gas masks started run inside. Suddenly, Mustard Gas canisters were fired, launching into the huge, concentrated blob of rebels.

Eisenwald Research

Agent Danvers: What the absolute fuck....

Danvers took cover in a small space in the wall, the space where a Water Fountain used to be, now only showed its outline on the wall and the Pipes jutting out and spilling water all over the floor.

Wait, Water on the floor..

Danvers looked right above his head, the exposed wires of the Speaker System (OOC: Its 1885, so i would assume that the Speaker System would be pretty rudimentary and basic)
Danvers reached up and pulled the wires out of the socket, the copper ends sparkling a bit in his hand.
Bullets kept ricocheting off the wall, as the crazy doctor kept emptying clip after clip at Danver's hiding spot.

After the doctor finished off another Clip, Danvers poked his head out and saw the Doctor had advanced towards his position.

Now or never...

Danvers jumped up, his back against the wall and his feet propped up on the Exposed Piping. He thrust the giant cord of cables down into the water, and heard a gut clenching scream.

Danvers pulled the wires back up, jumped down and saw the doctor on the floor. He was obviously still alive, but was at least incapacitated.

Good enough...

Danvers bolted for the Doctors Laboratory, he had orders to steal as much intel he could find on Warglorian Research and to take pictures of the Experiments to be used as Anti-Warglorian Propaganda.

On his way, Danvers reached down and took the Doctors Pistols. They were of a interesting design, maybe something that could be copied in the future.
Danvers ran down to the hall and entered the research lab, inside he found a group of Scientists and Assistants insides. He fired off the rounds from the Pistols, killing the Unprepared Scientists.

Danvers pulled out his Snap Camera (Same one used by the Agent in the Documents section), and began to take photos of everything from Experiments to Documents and Research Files

This was a gold mine...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eisenwald Records and Document Storage

Agent Heinrik: Stand back, we thought this would happen.

Heinrik strode up to the small Safe, and jammed a small stick of something wrapped in a kind of wax paper.
The Agent then pulled out a Warglorian Lighter (We dont mess around with Cover Identities, everything on him must be Warglorian) and lit the fuse on it.
After a few moments, the Fuse met the small package and burned with a giant and brilliant flare of light and heat.

The Agents covered their eyes, to look directly at it would cause blindness. When it was done, the entire lock had been burned straight through

Agent Heinrik: Thermite. Some say that it probably burns 'bout hot as the sun. Our boys in the Lab back at HQ spent 15 days measuring that out so perfectly so that it would melt through a Safe Lock Mechanism and not touch the contents. Thats Boer Tax SAP's at work!

Heinrik threw open the safe door
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eisenwald Courtyard

The Canisters fell one by one, a liberal estimate would place around 4 of them being fired off into the massive crowd.

The effect was instant. You see, Mustard Gas isn't something you can combat with a Gas Mask. Mustard Gas doesn't attack your lungs and eye's and such. No, it attack everything, blisters and burns appear all over your body, it attacks your eyes's and blinds you, it fills your lungs so that they Burn from the Inside Out!

However, the Warglorians were fools to use the Gas in such a small space, the reason was the work of a Courageous Legionnaire

The Legionnaire ran through the gas, painful blisters appearing on his pale skin. He picked up a canister of Mustard Gas and threw it right back at the Warglorian Guards.

The Mob was in a panic, but now so two were the Guards.

Because Mustard Gas cannot be combated, and it shows no prejudice

Just a equal hate for all men...

III Corps was nearing the end of its training. With less than a month left, they would soon be in the field. IV Corps would follow a month later.

[Dictatorship Of South Eaka]

Hashovs Workshop, The Great Plains, Occupied Eaka

It was a quiet night in The Great Plains of Eaka, sure there was the occasional chirping of crickets and the like, however other then that the night was quite peaceful, a man by the name of Hashov sat in his workshop working on something, it was a hollowed metal tube made out of steel with a series of hollowed chambers, each chamber was seperated by a baffle made out of aluminum. Hashov had worked tirelessly on this metal tube for several months and today was the day he had succeeded in his task, he grinned as he lifted the metal tube with one hand and raised it to his eyes. For he had invented the supressor, a sound reducing device for firearms, he peered through the hole in the tube inspecting his creation, he walked over to another desk on which his weapon holster layed, he unlatched it and pulled out his revolver before planting the supressor onto the barrel and screwing it in tight. He then raised his revolver with one hand inspecting the sights before walking outside of the workshop.

He ventured through his dwelling before reaching the door to the outside, he methodicaly opened the door and stepped out into the night taking a lamp with him, he placed an empty bottle of milk onto a rock opposite to his dwelling before taking aim with his revolver, he cocked the hammer down before pulling the trigger, the revolver produced a somewhat lower sound to what it would have made if it was unsupressed as a round exited the barrel and impacted the milk bottle sending it off the rock, Hashov smiled as he lowered his revolver, the sound of distant horse hooves impacting the ground alerted him, as he turned his head he could make out several dark figures comming straight at him, he peered open his pocket watch looking at the time "Just on time" he stated as the lead horseman trotted over to him....

[Arengin Union]

Vokosly port, Arengin. Levatine.

After his meeting with the Eakan Commodore Oswyn had quickly made sure everything was in order before heading to Al-Movrvern to meet with the Sultan. The supply lines to the Sylbanian front lines were flowing well. Overall production was skyrocketing. And military production was at all time high. 100,000 Mosin rifles every week, along 500 machine guns and at least 1,000 Knrnak Mark 4 Rifles.

Manticoran forces in Arengin were also being carefully watched to avoid any trickery. And Eakan troops and civilians were being registered to keep track of them.

Armored cars were also being made at a quick pase, 50 being ready by the end of each month. 25 new Battleships and 50 cruisers were being made each year. And airship production was still at debate. After all most people had cars, carriages or used trains to move around.

Oswyn was quick in arriving to the Alpha one of the many royal ships that was commissioned for travel to Morvern. The ship soon began to set course to Morvern. Being escorted by 3 battleships and 5 destroyer cruisers.

Oswyn had left power to the queen and had taken Nikolai and Melissa with him yet again. He had been taking Nikolai to most places recently, this was to tech him the basics of being a leader, after all Oswyn wasn't getting any younger and Nikolai was approaching his 19th birthday.

A telegram was sent to Morvern by Ambassador Victor Dranadov.

For: Foreign Minister Khalid ibn Tarbarid of Al-Morvern
From: Ambassador Victor Dranadov of Arengin

His Majesty has began his travel to your lands, I wish to know what city is most suitable to land. His Majesty has also expressed his gratitude of your invitation and a most sincere wish to overlook political strife in order to strengthen our international relations.

[Norcourt]

Battle of Fort Treize

1820 Hours

It had been about an hour, the Norcourtians and the rest of the Entente moved forward, ever so slightly. The cannons had been firing for ages, and gunshots were as common as words. The Norcourtians could see the Arengins and the rest of the Entente moving forward.

"Lieutenant Reeves, the Arengins are moving upward, any orders sir!" said a Sergeant Harker, "Inform the men to cover the advance, we must protect the flanks. Get the Machine Guns ready!" he said
Slowly, a unit of 4 men, wheeled up what had appeared to be a Gatling Gun, as the Elixian Council couldn't afford such new Maxims.

Contradictory to it's age, the Gatling was still a very effective weapon as of now. They aimed all 10 barrels at the Sylbanians with a hail of lead coming out each one. They kept firing the guns, moving up in small increments of space, allowing walking firepower.

"Keep up the fire!" Reeves said

[Crimetopolis]

The Little Chicago radio stations began the campaign urging the defection of Warglorien colonists to Crimetropolis. Social welfare centers had been set up for both humans and domestic pets. Soon a trickle of defectors began crossing the mainly the rural borders. By 11 a.m, the border guards at the official crossing Had telephoned the WarGlorien provincial capital. "SHUT THE BORDER DOWN!." But , SIr, 35% of our food and medical supplies come across the border!" Protested the colonial minister of trade. While the colonies were mineral rich, farming was poor but ranching worked just fine."

"Attention, War Glorien government officials. We wish to meet to meet with you to discuss your potential independence. Tekno REpublika wants you as friends, not enemies!" the office radio announced.

[Aclus]

Fort Trieze
Aclusian Expeditionary Force

The Aclusian infantry moved up though the middle, taking machine gun and artillery fire from the left and Right flanks, diverting the enemy guns from shredding the Arengin and Norcourtian armies. The casualties were high, hundreds of men fell every minute, the whole Aclusian army was in chaos when the troops neared the hill and began to climb he stakes leading to the mountain fortress, the machine gun fire tore apart the Aclusian troops bunched up.the Norcourtian and Arengin army would have to break through the flanks if the Aclusian army could advance any further.


on the other side of the battlefield, The Aclusian Sherwood Highlanders charged on the left flank with the Norcourtian troops to assist them.

[Arengin Union]

Battle for Fort Trieze

1930 Hours

Sylbania

Arenginian forces kept gradually pushing further and further as the other Entente forces kept firing from a distance while advancing on different flanks. Sylbanian soldiers kept firing from above though Arenginian soldiers already began flooding inside the fortress walls. Foreign volunteers firing from the inside of buildings and Sylbanian riders trying to slash on Arenginian soldiers, only to be shot or taken down by Arenginian rifles.

The sun was already half dead as Arenginian went over the flat tops of the fortress. Arenginian soldiers kept outrunning the other Entente forces as they went up the stairs to the inside of the buildings. Arenginian engineers began to set TNT charges on the walls, they quickly blew them up and let enter thousands of other soldiers to enter. Quickly the 3 side walls of the fort where full of Entente soldiers.

Arenginian army soldiers and Naval troops alike keeping up to the battle as tehy went up to replace the Sylbanian flag with the Arenginian one.

[Norcourt]

Battle at Fort Treize

1935 Hours

The Norcourtians Successfully dealt with the Free Sylbanians at the Outskirts of the Castle, with many dead on both sides. By the tens, many Free Sylbanians surrendered, and were to be shot or imprisoned, many of the former. These were not soldiers but mere rebels, and were to be treated as such.



"The walls are broken!" shouted Sergeant Harker

Reeves and the others looked on, in relief, and excitement. While the Sylbanians not so much.

Nevertheless, the men marched forward, many paces until they reached the cliffside and scaled it with many numbers.
Once they had all arrived, they ran near the Arenginians and the Aclusians. It was time for the final push to end this rebellion and bring an end to these
fascist hooligans.

"Lieutenant! The boys are low on ammo, and are in panic, most of the Machine Guns have been shot or immobilized during the attack and we are in dire need of support." Harker said, "Surely we have enough for a final skirmish?" Reeves asked, "Sir, most of the men couldn't even mold a coin with what Brass is left, we have to think of something quick." Harker Said
Reeves sat down and thought for a minute, if we didn't move now the Arenginians would have the majority of their flanks left open, and vulnerable to attack. This would let this whole operation fall short.
"...charge..." Reeves said Faintly, "Are you mad Lieutenant?! This isn't the Dark Ages sir, we cannot do that!" Harker yelled, "I said what I said Harker, we must charge. We must sweep them like a door, and fight until we cannot, do you hear me?! Now tell the men to fix bayonets!" Harker looked in disbelief, angry, but at the same time he knew this was the only option.

"FIX BAYONETS!!!!!" Harker shouted. Immediately, bayonets were pulled out of their sheathes, and slid onto the barrels of every rifle. They pointed their rifles forward, and waited for the signal.

Reeves took out his saber, and and waved it through the air, and running to the onlooking yet surprised enemy. He took a deep breath, and thought of his family and his class at home. He was a mere school teacher before this, teaching history, battle, and strategics to his class back in Bamburg. He took yet another deep breath, removing such thoughts from his mind, clearing it for the oncoming result. "CHAAARGE!" He shouted! With a great roar, all the remaining Norcourtians charged and thought many the same of what their Lieutenant thought.

Surely they would be remembered at home, Reeves thought...surely...

[The Traansval]

Battle of Fort Trieze

2000 Hours (8:00 pm)

The Veice Line

Sylbania
The Traansval

Field Commander (Colonel) Hainiti looked over the Stone Wall of the wall he and his men took cover behind. They were on top of the Roof of a former Inn, which had been used as the Munitions supply room during the Battle.

Hainiti fired off a couple of rounds at the enemy from his Warglorian Revolver, he had about 20 men with him, a mix of Free Sylbanians and Foreign Volunteers. Their Rifles picked away at any enemy they saw. Boers, Arengins, Aclusians, Twelve Islanders, Norcourtians, didnt matter. They all die.

Haitniti saw a group of Boer's move towards his Building, he pointed them out to his men, but it was too late.

The lead Boer, a Sergeant, threw a Potato Masher Hand Grenade into the building below them.

Right into the Munitions Supply...

BOOM!

POP POP POP POP

The Bullets and Shells stored in the building blew up, sending the Roof and all the men on it Sky High. Haitniti was killed instantly. A giant column of Fire and Smoke rose up into the air, you could see the damn thing from Miles around.

The Free Sylbanians saw the Column and took despair, their Ammo had just been completely destroyed.
It was hopeless, the Enemy outnumbered them 4 to 1, they had already broken through their defenses, and now all of their Ammo was gone.

Field General Juntini saw this and realized that all hope was lost, it was time to raise the white flag...

Wilhelm was simply doing his usual patrol, when suddenly, a radio speaker sounded, telling the colonials to rebel. "Oh for verdammt's sake, not this again." Wilhelm said. Suddenly, he screamed across the border. "Oi! Incase you haven't noticed, the ideals for Colonial seperation died with Adler, that's treasonous talk! Also, it's pronounced WAR-GLORI-A-N, DUMMKOPFS!

This is about the 3rd or 4th time I've heard reports of your nation attempting to create unrest in the Warglorian Colonies, and so, I must demand, STOP IT! I ALREADY HAVE A LARGE ENOUGH CASUS BELLI (War justification) TO DECLARE WAR! I'M CURRENTLY NOT INTERESTED IN INVADING YOUR PITIFUL REPUBLIC, SO STOP PROVOKING ME!

Fridhelm District, beside Eisenwald District, New Berlin
Obergruppenfuhrer Heinz Rudolf was in charge of New Berlin's garrison, when he got a call. "Halo?" He asked. Suddenly, he rushed out of his office, and talked to a nearby oberleutenant. "Eisenwald is under attack, lead a platoon of soldiers to bring the rebels down, bring a squad of armoured cars too." Rudolf said.

Eisenwald Research District
Richtofen woke up. "Zat vaas a pleasent nap, now vere vas ei..." Richtofen said. Suddenly, he reached out for his guns, only to find them lost. "Nein...." He said. Suddenly, he ran back to his lab, to find many files missing. "nein, nein, nein, Nein, NEIN!" Richtofen screamed. Suddenly, 2 soldiers went to Richtofen. "Mein Oberst, ze facility is compromised, you must escape!" The soldier said. "NEIN! ZEY VILL PAY! SEND OUT VAN OF MEIN PETS CAGES!" Richtofen said.

"Vich von?" the soldier said. "Cage......1....1....5" Richtofen said. The 2 soldiers were stunned with fear. "But, mein herr, there are still so many soldat on the grounds, those creatures are uncontainable, und..." The other soldier said. Suddenly, Richtofen punched him in the face. "DO AS EIN SAY!" Richtofen screamed. Suddenly, one of the soldiers went to a panel of buttons, he then pushed in a code, and picked the cage 115, suddenly, gates opened, and there was a mass of hellish shrieks (once again, only for this scenario). "Now mein pretties, RUN, HUNT.....FEAST!" Richtofen.

Suddenly, down the halls, masses of strange creatures with glowing yellow eyes ran through the hallway. "HEUTE, BIN ICH EIN GOTT! (today, I am a god) HEA HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!" Richtofen said.

Eisenwald Courtyard
Jack was with a squad of his soldiers, who were in pain from the gas. However, they kept pulling on, fighting the mob. Suddenly, shrieks could be heard, as yellow eyes came out from no where. Suddenly, through the thick smoke, Jack saw in terror as many of the rebels disappeared through the fog, being pulled away violently, when suddenly, one of his friends was pounced on by what seemed to be a man with yellow eyes, who proceeded to eat through him.

Quickly, he and his remaining squad shot the creature, only to see his friend lying on the ground, with his organs spurred everywhere. Suddenly, more came for his squad, they fired into the horde of creatures, but to no avail, the last thing Jack remembered was being pounced to the ground, and a painful jerk as it felt like his arm was bitten off......

Eisenwald Files Room
Quickly, Scimitar grabbed the files. "Quickly now we must.......wait a second....why is it silent?" He said. He peaked out the door, only to see a gruesome scene, with the soldiers organs strewn across the floor, blood everywhere, limbs littered here and there. "Ein think ein going to be sick" Scimitar said. Suddenly, he heard gun fire, then saw a squad of soldiers with pale faces shooting across the hall. while running in panic at the same time.

One of them tripped and fell, the Scimitar saw in horror as several creatures held him down and started eating through him. Suddenly, some of the creatures started running towards him. "Scheisse, scheisse, scheisse, scheisse, SCHEISSE! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF!" Scimitar screamed, as he grabbed a handful of files, including the D6 book, and started running.

The Analytical Engine MK2 was getting an upgrade today, as much unneeded weight was bow removed in the more refined Analytical Engine MK3. Now the MK3 was, if compared to computers in the 1980-90s, the size of two Macintosh computers with a keyboard strapped on. Due to its smallness, it can be placed in the home of anyone who can afford it, and due to it being produced en masse, it was very affordable. It's primary use was to allow electricity to pass through a controlled path and into another machine, like a cannon, or perhaps a stove! The possibilities were endless.

The Sylbanian War

With the Fascist rebels defeated in Fort Trieze, the Aclusian Artillery batteries set themselves into position to bombard the Fort south of Trieze, Lombardy. The heavy rail guns were loaded with HE shells, while the smaller batteries were prepped as well. The guns were all set for the huge bombardment, the biggest bombardment in the history of warfare began, thousand of shells non stop were fired at the Enemy fort and trenchlines, it would be a cakewalk the Aclusian generals told their men, but everyone knew there was going to be a price to pay, just like Fort Trieze.

The Aclusian troops, such as the Oyster Division dug in the trenches of Fort Trieze, taking a good rest for the coming battle of Fort Lombardy

Dear Fuhrer Himmler. Our goal is simple. We want Klaus Adler back in charge of WarGlorien. WE could negotiate with him. You're a dangerous nut. And incidentally, your settlers are choosing simply to leave your colonies and there are no riots or like activities to indicate revolution. , You've run economically into them into the ground. What kind of idiot charges 90% taxation?! Even before we started the defection program, border hospitals and medical clinics repeated thousands of cases of starved Warglorien citizens admitted for starvation-related illnesses. This despite emergency food and medicine shipments from our nation.

If you love your people you will resign and allow Klaus Adler to return to power., Our Justice Ministry will grant a full pardon and a pensioned, free citizenship in Tekno Republika. This offer also applies to all of your political and military allies, also. It is the best offer you'll get, Fuhrer Himmler. Take it.

[The Traansval]

Fort Trieze

1758 Hours (5:58 pm)
Day after the Battle

The Veice Line

Sylbania, The Traansval

Lieutenant Monroe entered the Command Center set up at Fort Trieze. Yesterday had been a day of unbelievable bloodshed.
The Free Sylbanian's and their Volunteers had eventually Surrendered, around 18,560 Prisoners that were taken to Sicily Prisoner Camp near the Boer Straits Fortifications in the South of the Peninsula.

A Corporal with the Army Engineers was connecting a Telephone to the Military Telephone Line which was being connected to all over the Veice Line.
The Telephone Line could be the single most innovative piece of Military Technology of the time, it will allow for Generals to communicate directly with Colonels and Lieutenants in the field, get Intel on what is going on at the Front in real time, and allow for a Synchronized Offensive.

After setting up the Phone, the Corporal spoke to Colonel Hyder, who was the Commander of Boer Troops on the Trieze Offensive

Army Engineer's Corporal: Sir! General Amundsend wants you to Phone him immediatly, Sir!

Colonel Hyder: The General of the entire fucking Traansval Military wants me to Phone him directly?

Army Engineer's Corporal: Well Sir, he's been placed in Charge of all Boer and Arengin Troops in Sylbania, he wants a Status Update

Colonel Hyder: Well, alrighty...

Hyder took a folded up note from the Corporal, on it was the number for General Amundsends Command Center in Sylbania. The number was not like your usual number, it was Amundsends full name encoded into Number format, with several numbers denoting Rank and Affialitation at the end, this was the same for all Military Numbers. Of course, it wasn't like a Civilian was going to be using the Military Line, it was a completely separate Cable that is laid next to the Telegraph Cable's that are also used by the military.

Hyder used the rotary dial to enter the number, and promptly brought the Speaker Cone up to his ear (OOC: there is a Speaker Cone that is connected to a cable, and is brought by hand up to the ear. You speak into a separate cone that is attached to the Telephone Box.)

Colonel Hyder: Colonel Hyder, Serial Number 1-1-45 (OOC: Branch - Division - Brigade (For Captains and Lieutenant Colonels) - Regiment (For Lieutenants and anything below Lieutenants) - Your place on the Official Registry of Soldiers)

General Amundsend (Over the phone): Ah yes Colonel, give me a update on Fort Trieze

Colonel Hyder: Well Sir, we've taken the Fort and the town of Trieze at its base. At this moment, our Artillery Guns are being brought up into the Fort itself to be used against Fort Lombardy. We estimate around 4 Hours before we can begin shelling them


General Amundsend: Good! Have them begin to night, around 2000 Hours. I will notify the men at the South East Sector to prepare for a Offensive against Fort Lombardy
Over and out.

Hyder heard the line click, signalling that Amundsend had hung up on his end. Hyder put the Cone back in its cradle, and threw the Paper in the raging fireplace

He opened a door, and entered the War Room that had been set up inside the Command Center. A map of Sylbania including the Veice line was laid out on the table, it was updated to show new Territory gained by the Entente.



Around the table, the Officers of the Arengin, Aclusian, Twelve Islander, and Norcourtian Volunteer Forces stood. Lieutenant Monroe and Jackson were there, along with the Officers from the Aerial Marines and all of the other Boer Troops in Trieze.

Hyder spoke:

Colonel Hyder: Gentlemen, we've taken the fort! Now, we focus our efforts on Fort Lombardy. Right now, we are safe within the Stone Walls of this Fort, and from these Walls we will support our Allies.

Hyder pointed to the map

Colonel Hyder: We are here in Trieze, to the East of us is Fort Lombardy. With Trieze taken, we will use this fort to bomb the absolute shite out of the Free Sylbanians in Lombardy. After a good shelling, the men on the South-Eastern Sector of the Line will advance and take the Fort. Now, it wont be anywhere as difficult as Fort Trieze was.
Fort Lombardy is built on top of a Slight Hill, we've come to nickname it "Fort Necessity" due to the fact that it was assembled quite quickly.

Hyder pulled out some Photo's taken by Aerial Recon

Colonel Hyder: As you can see, the "Fort", is made of giant blocks of Stone, taken from the Lombardy Quarry. They've assembled them in a Semi-Circle around a Hill where they've dug in with Trenches and Machine Guns. Previously, we could get near it because Fort Trieze would bomb our boys before we got close.
But now, now we're the ones who will be bombing them from Trieze..
