Opening Stage of the Faulksnian Civil War

On January sixth, 1920, King Rognorr XI declared war on the usurper King Leifgh XV of Foksberg. At the time, three Jarlships and nine cities had declared their support for the new dynasty.
Loyalist submarines began raiding of Foksian shipping immediately, sinking two cargo ships during the declaration speech, having been instructed to attack the night before. In response, all Foksian mercantile vessels were brought back to port and retrofitted with anti-submarine deck guns, which were relatively effective at deterring attacks during the day.

Fokser Defeat at Battle of Jotten Vall
January 18, 1920:

"Yesterday morning, the seventeenth of January, saw the first major defeat of the Fokser military. At around five in the morning, one thousand troops left via train from the city of Dormstrung. The Faulkser Army Engineers, having heard of their plans, had laid mines on the tracks in the Jotter Vallen, one of the few mountainous areas of the country. Our sources say that the initial casualties were around three hundred dead as the first train tumbled down the cliffs. At this point, the other two trains began to reverse, seeking to switch to a different route on the other side of the pass. However, upon returning, a Faulkser division of five hundred had assembled, having seven heavy tanks with them. The light armor on the Fokser cars was insufficient to deflect tanks shells and many of the soldiers dismounted in an attempt to take cover, many of them being killed by machine guns and rifles. By noon, the battle was over with one hundred-twelve Fokser troops being captured. This has, so far, been the worst defeat of the Fokser army in modern history."

Fokser Armor Captures Alfredsted
January 23, 1920:

In the small town Alfredsted, located ten kilometers west of the Loyalist Jarlship Johannesberg, the first real clash of Faulksnian and Fokser tanks groups occurred. After a Fokser scout saw Faulksnian army forces gathering at Alfredsted, a Fokser detachment of 50 H/S-1919 light tanks, 10 Siegler-Platz armored cars, and four hundred heavy infantry were sent to take the small town, led by Overstlojnant Karl Irs Gertrudsenn.
At 9:51, the scout cars reported at least two dozen enemy medium tanks. The Fokser tank column then paused at a nearby homestead to prepare for battle. By 10 o'clock, two squads of hostile tanks had been sent out and a firefight broke out when they sighted the armored cars. Two armored cars were knocked out retreating with no Loyalist casualties. Fokser artillery then began to shell the approaching tanks, knocking one out and immobilizing two others. After reports of the rest of the Faulksnian detachment rolling out, the Fokser armor started up under a creeping barrage and headed to flank the reported enemy movement. At 10:31, the first line of Fokser tanks spotted the enemy and fired into the sides of the Faulksnian mediums, taking out three and immobilizing seven, sustaining four casualties. At this point, the Fokser armor squadrons broke off and began to encircle the enemy line as artillery cut off Loyalist reinforcements. Before 11 o'clock, twenty Faulksner tanks lay destroyed and at least fifty infantry with similar Fokser losses, with thirty-one H/S-1919s remaining and seven armored cars. At this point, the heavy infantry set out, carrying forty machine guns.
The second skirmish happened at 10:35 when the second group of Faulksnian tanks was encountered, again having formed a line. The artillery had hit this group harder, with eight tanks already functionally destroyed and nine with their tracks broken. The Fokser tanks engaged, quickly passing into the Loyalist ranks and firing at close or point-blank range. After thirty-four Faulksnian tanks were destroyed, the remaining force attempted to pull back but were routed, thirteen tanks being captured and the rest destroyed, their infantry support having been slaughtered more than five minutes before. After re-forming and waiting for the heavy infantry, our armored division set out once more, riding into Alfredsted for the outskirts to be largely deserted. However, snipers had been posted in several buildings, and the various alleys had been filled with heavy machine-gun and anti-tank emplacements. Six Fokser tanks were lost taking the town and seventy-one men.
Despite casualties, Alfredsted is now under his Majesty's flag. In total, Eighty-four men, four armored cars, and twenty-five tanks were lost, with Faulksnian deaths significantly higher, thirty-five tanks and current reports estimating between one and two hundred men.

''Markian War'',Enagement 40: ''The last fight''
Part 1:Thousands of years of fooling

This would indeed be the last engagement of the 3,000 year old war between the Markian race,but this is the one we would win.Threw out all this time,we could of beaten them,but we decided to make ourselfs look weaker,just so we can make them underestimate us to the max and see how they would fight. Right now,they extremely underestimate us,so once we attack on our full and realist,they will crumble faster than a peach falling from a tree.

Sector 1 of the DMZ with troops

Attack plans

Rectangle=Infantry [] Circle=Armour [] Pentagon=Artillery
At 2:45AM,Artillery barrage opens full decimating fire at the enemy units,while our rocket barrages are focused on their armour.1st attack group ''STRADA'' attack the Novian troops,who sadly have underestimated our attack quiet alot.The full might of the GZ-01 has shown,as it destroys the Novian armour one buy one. ''STRADA'' group advances,attacking the enemy units who are in disaray and shock. 2nd attack group ''MIDDLE'' advance with the GZ-01s ahead,attacking in a blitzkrieg style. 3rd attack group ''FOXY'' uses anti-tank weapons to take out the few tanks,while the troops split up to flank the enemy units. Group ''FOXY'' is supported by artillery fire. A ZT-01 strikes out the enemies artillery positions with J-Dams and retreats back to base. Group ''STRADA'' destroys the enemy unit it was tasked to decimate,and continues a fast march ,attacking the enemy from behind. A victory is thus followed,giving us a gateway threw the DMZ,allowing us to throw in more troops to flan the rest of Nova Marks troops on the border.

''Markian War'',Engagement 40: ''The Last Fight''
Part 1:Push for unification

This fools have been on the retreat so far,as their counter offensives or defensive have been failing. There nothing but suprised by our capabilities,probably relizing that they have been fooled all these thousand years...but atleast their morale is getting crushed. Our Navy has managed to block their ports,so now they are truly isolated if any fool wishes to help a loosing side. Our ZT-01 has been busy bombarding Nova Marks power plants (and a few water plants) to put them under pressure. Soon we will supply the protesters who wish unification with the greater mark!


Around 20,000 troops with 200 AVs will be dropped off on the North from our ships,near the enemies capital,however they will be nothing but a distraction,so their death will be a worthy sacrafise to Vermand. Our force of 750,000 is split onto three ARMADAS,with VERMAND ARMADA consisting of 300,000 troops which are heading towards the capital,assisted with the ZT-01 at needed moments.The VASEK ARMADA will be marching at the center with 350,000 troops,which are going to split up after they take Shengan,Nova Marks second biggest city. Third group SAGISU ARMADA with 100,000 troops who will go on the other side of the Verhuska mountain to get to North and takeout enemy airfields and remaining troops. Nova Mark AS WE SHALL LIBERATE THE MARKIAN RACE OF THESE VERMINS ONCE AND FOR ALL! FOR VERMAND!!!
