Winter 646

" Beatrix, I heard you worked for my father when he ruled -- do you have any stories about his adventures ?"

" Hm ? I hardly recall anything from that time ... I was young then, and the biting cold of those snowy towns didn't help either but I do remember fighting a strange enemy there back before Laboria ceased to be... when we cut off the head of the snake what we got was a reprisal of a thousand more. We would never have dreamt that an enemy would attack us during that cold day, but there was no doubt that these people were my ancestors with the same fire as the valknyres..... "


>> The Battle of Kruss .... In which we awaken the sleeping bear that is the Krussians. Is one such story we may explore

but wait theres more...

Winter 756

>>continued from:
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/21989151/

In the dimmed halls of the motorpool, the students of Isara prepare for their first exhibition match against a Vosskon opponnent. After 90 years of peace it feels as if that war is still happening to this day, thinly veiled through domestic school competitions with the realest monsters of war to come out from that time..


" What are you staring ahead in space for ? "
" Nothing , I was just wondering about what our last opponnent said, if we do not represent ourselves and who we are, then why do we fight ? what reasons do we have to win if our ragtag group just barely scrapes by with no unified flag to fight for "

" Everyone has their own flag, true, but I think what we fight for is an idea that no one's tried before. And I think that on that alone we should do our best to find out what that idea is -- and win "
"

>> From these two options; we may choose to run one of these games:

1. Kruss Battle Test - In which we try out the Krussian faction
2. ArmorFeight no. 2 - In which we play competitive tank sports

Or

3. Fantasy Fight- In which I run a vs. Game with any faction in the IH canon...

That was Blitz; he drove the lightest tank into some pretty bad situations. Survived.

Alright , time to count some votes...

I don't have a second vote

>>22141429

The man with the aviator sunglasses is Blitz? Then the rugged-looking man next to him must be Von Claude.

>>22141752

Tell me about Dar, Sergeant.

>>22141990

Vonclaude
Go on.....

>>22141990

>>22141990

Dar... Dar was my first command, a trial-by-fire for new recruits to the Royal Guard against Kashir bandits. The operation went smoothly, with what minimal casualties were sustained offset by the Death Korps training we had recently obtained. It was also the first deployment of the Royal Guard's now famous zcifax 'mad doctors.'

What we hadn't expected was for the Kashir to be kidnappers more than thieves. They lined the children of the town up on the cliffs above the river to its East and pushed them over when the order was made to attack the cliffs. I sent a whole platoon of soldiers into that river to pull them out but the Kashir used incendiary grenades on them... We only managed to save 12 of the 30 children.

Later investigations made it obvious they were buying time for a blood ritual. Possibly to summon these death gods we had fought twice before. But at the time those were still unknown to the public, and I suffered some malign press. And you know? I could've sent in another platoon, but I didn't. Some sort of desire to conserve soldiers or something, I don't remember any more. I learned my first command lesson there: You don't hold back. Your enemy is that way for a reason, kill them before they do worse to you.

Needless to say every bandit on that battlefield was a corpse at the end of it all.

>>22142258

Did your soldiers give a good account of themselves? Were there any casualties?

>>22142258

You want to talk to some others that were there at Dar? Most of them have transferred out of the unit now. Those that haven't are dead or undead. Hell, I guess Lennox at least preferred it that way, considering how much he's enjoying being a skeleton. His team was the one leading the effort to recover those children... Guess you can afford to forget a lot of things after death.

Other than that though, I suppose I'm the last living person here who was on that field.

>>22142310

They did, they did. The only casualties were Elfriede, who became a werewolf at this time, and the platoon of men I sent into the river after those kids. And the children themselves of course... In return the enemy was wiped out entirely.

Vote 1: Option 4
Vote 2: Option 2

>>22142378

How many werewolves have you known so far, Sergeant?

>>22142774

Of course, everyone knows about Elfriede, the White Wolf Scourge. I've worked with her often enough, and as the representative lycanthrope of the royal guard she has gained a little bit of a following from undead deregulation fanatics that see her as the perfectly integrated undead citizen. Don't ask me about that, I'm not allowed to have an opinion on the matter.

Other than that, the only werewolf utilized by the Royal Guard was my brother Kurt, though I never actually met him. The story usually goes that he was cut down tearing apart the command structure of the Kashir forces at Dagram. Back then it wasn't well known that the Kashir Shieks wielded silver swords, and he dashed himself on one as he hunted their Shamans.

>>22142908

Ah, but I hear the delegates gathering. This is a picnic after all, and as a guest it'd rude to not heed the gathering. I'm afraid I need to end this interview to get some more uh... 'punch.'

>Back to your regularly scheduled game

File: 1356053623923.png-(388 KB, 900x1350, KRUSSIARULESWEB.png)

It was some years ago, a generation after Ascheron von Voss had liberated the Valknyres from the grips of the 4 corners. Their first taste of vengeance was ravenous, quick to take back what had been taken-- the Voss would expand aggressively East towards the heart of Laboria under General Asmodeus of Hellmarch. The name Laboria was long burned under our treatise but east of that were their surrogate lands who reformed themselves from their old masters and united under a banner more elusive and unbreakable than a simple Flag.

They called themselves Kruss, a monster with many heads, a beast that could walk tirelessly through the snow. But the Millitants would have none of it, and under their new rule would call that wasted region part of Voss.

Aggressively they struck, with a speed and ferocity matched only by the fear driven soldiers of his armies. Asmodeus rode out to meet this little "rebellion" his pride and lust for destruction barely hidden by this provocation.

Little did he know that the Kruss were more than ready to meet him in the cold blizzards of that Solstice. ...

>> How to Kruss; pick 3 units to form a SQUAD. Mind the number if troops under command since Orders are "limited"

[SSS] - 3 Soldier Units
[KKS] - 2 Skolly Millicents and 1 SOldier unit
[RUSu]- an Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, and a Suka.

Those interested can roll a Squad with a named leader identify as the First letter. Everyone's rank is Comrade.

[SSS] Comrade Fidel
[TSK] Firebase Squad - teamnames are fine too.

Thank you for your time, Sergeant von Claude.

We will intercepting here on the frozen reaches of river Melena should we needing to fall back we may do so, There being always more land to fight on we can only fall back two times. The Voss will hard hit us but we must bide our time and wait for our friends to gather. Defend and protect, and if brave, attacking.

With our teams we are powerful enough to build up great strength and roll steam the enemy. But watch our numbers and be sure that our lines are protected well enough so that our friends may getting here in no less than one piece.

We stand out rather dangerously over the buff, perhaps our spry Skollys can get by undetected.

It is said that they play a mean game of "hide" and [seeks] rather legandarily, so long as they retain the innocense of children.

[Skollys may take an action to remain invisible from the enemy, however it goes away as soon as they [hurt someone]]

Two Vosskon officers survey the battlefield, spyglasses peering through the thick flurry of snow.

" The Lieutenant panicked, he's already begun executing the Krussian civilians by the time the main force was upon them. "

" Using them as shields was not exactly a better fate sir, perhaps if the General... "

" There wouldn't be much standing after a fight such as this, they were doomed from the start. Send a runner to General Asmodeus, inform him we've made contact and are currently engaged. "

Enemy Phase... We fell squarely into their trap ! Now our Majors are in a ditch and fired upon ! Don't let them compromise our defensive stability !

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ev6-J1uukxM

We can't take much more of that. Skolly Millicents! Infiltrate their lines and find their officers, we can slow them down by executing their command structure. Set some charges along the way if you feel like it, and if you're discovered... give them a surprise before you die.

>Also don't forget to maintain your hidden status, not sure if it's an action to do so.

>>22149040

Oh, and the official policy on civilians is, if they're in the way, don't bother trying to shoot around them.

You don't hold back.

>>22148974

Hahahah March ! March ! my little demons ! If you're feeling a little cold, go ahead and warm yourselves up to the Krussian women. They maybe blue but they're warm like any other !

I hear that if you get their men to watch the whole population will feel it all the way up to their grand leader Hye hye hye and our jobs as Voss will be so much easier once the enemy declares war on us for once~ "

The sharp faced man goes still and with calm demeanor turns to his aide.

Adjutant, the enemy seems content to charge us, we better welcome them... with our own brand of heavy industry... "

>>22149040

In any case, this ditch seems like a good line in the snow. Get some spotters and shell them until we've got some actual numbers on this side!

Everyone, we can't be falling for the enemy's provocation, every Kruss they take down we feel it and gives them more power.. Is this how Ascheron won against such horrifying odds ? I can't imagine what would have back there ... "

The fires of war continued to sizzle that afternoon, artillery guns pounded away at the Krussian armor, the heat of their blasts kept me warm despite the oncoming blizzard. Officers coordinate their men as if they were possessed with the [Snow] that the empathic Krussians had.

And there in front of me, the world was ending in fire and ice.

[Player Phase will continue when the game starts tonight ! Feel free to plan]

>>22155068

Ekatarina Ivanova, I have a job for you. We're not going to be able to hold on to these empty Majors up North for much longer. Get your northern Millicents to set demo packs inside of them. Destroy the turret assembly at the very least, but if you can scuttle the whole tank from the inside, do that instead. Set the Northern charge to go off a bit early, but go ahead and let the fuse run longer on the southern tank. I want to see if the enemy will take the bait, and that tank isn't loaded.
