Unfortunately, the Belkans aren't exactly going to let you waltz into their home and wreck their stuff. At least not without a fight. You've managed to penetrate the Belkan border and make some good headway into the county itself, and you're near your first objective, the town of Fardan.

Already, the Belkans are scrambling to organize a response force to counter your push. You can see at least two or three companies worth of armor massing outside the town, every individual tank painted in bright heraldry and iconography.

The Federation forces pause for a brief second. Even though they were veterans, compared to the fighting prowess of the Belkan Knights, they might as well be green recruits. No Federation force had ever gone head to head against an equal force of Knights and won, at least not without serious losses.

"Plan, sir?" Julia asks, Fenrir's engines rumbling anticipation.

Get on Headcase's speaker system:

"Hello Karla's men. My name is JAGER STRUMFURER and out of all the invasions I've been a part of, this is my favorite one. And I only have one thing to say, THIS! IS! MY! BOOMSTICK!"

*fires 122mm*

>>26220056

>>26220056

Honestly, I actually am thinking call in the buzzbomb. Better to use it and have something worse show up later, than to not use it and it ends up being never used. And this is bad enough I agree with the proposal.

[X] Use the buzzbomb

(Quick note, I'm this guy >>26220048 and so already voted for 'Stay in Formation' too.)

>>26220108
Let's challenge the leader of this lot. Perhaps that would give the Feds the morale boost that they aparently need.

>>26220225
I think that's liable to get us shot in the face by an Imperial, non-Belkan sniper. Or Imperial, non-Belkan tank. Or something else bad.

Seriously, I think the Imperials are tired of us pulling that sort of stunt.

>>26220008
"Even I know when a plan is too stupid to work." You frown. "Julia, Headcase, we're going to hold position here. I want everybody else to disembark from the Growler and get to cover. Try and take out any tanks if you can, but don't take any big risks."

"Risk? I don't even know what that word means." Ramirez says confidently.

"Ha ha, you know what I mean."

"Okay, so who's day are we going to ruin?" Julia asks, just itching to fire off her 122mm cannon again.

You gaze into the distance. There's a LOT of tanks to choose from. At this range, a 76 or even an 88mm gun would have trouble hitting, much less punching through front armor, but you've got a 122mm...

Taking out a knight would certainly be a big morale boost. Taking out a knight in one of the heaviest Imp tanks would be a HUGE morale boost.

You scan the armor line for targets, and you find the perfect one. It's a big, gaudy thing, looking like all of its armor plating was replaced with gold and making it shine like a miniature second sun. If anything, you had to destroy it for sensible tank designs everywhere.

"Julia, see that big shiny fucker over there? End him, please."

"With pleasure." Julia says with a predatory grin.

"Hey guys, don't leave me out!" Headcase says, turning his vehicle to target the gold tank as well.

Don't you know what happened last ime?

>>26220446
With a deafening boom, the Fenrir's 122mm cannon hurls its deadly payload across the field, breaking the awkward silence between the two opposing forces. It's followed a split second later by Kilroy's smaller, but no less intense cannon report. Both shells fly through the air towards the gold tank.

However, over this distance, even the best gunner can have a bit of difficulty. Julia's shot arcs through the air, but it's clear she aimed a tad bit too low. The shell impacts directly on the tank's front plate, causing the entire vehicle to shudder, but it otherwise looks intact. Headcase's round follows up, striking the turret and shearing the main cannon off. And then something happens nobody expects.

The tank goes into reverse.

The effect is immediate. Spurred on, the Federation tankers start firing as well, showering the Belkan line with shells and explosions, You even see a few light and medium tanks get blown apart in the barrage. The Belkans, realizing they just had the initiative stolen from them, start firing back as well and the whole thing starts turning into a slugfest.

You're left wondering what to do now.

To be honest, you knew Fenrir was going to be a huge target, and she'd be at a bigger risk if she was on it, but you didn't have the heart to tell her that openly.

Headcase starts laying down covering fire as the Fenrir and Growler speed along trying to find a gap in the line.

It'd be better if the whole climbing on a damn tank option didn't win as what good would a shocktropper do on it? They can't take tankshells as well as a Lancer.

>>26221595
Anon, nobody can really eat tank shells. IMO bringing a Lancer along to assault armor would've been a good idea, but not because her armor allows her to eat 75mm

>>26221595
I'm assuming we're going to act as a spotter for Julia and take care of any enemy lancers that try to fuckup our paint job.

>>26221652
perhaps not, but Lancers in the game take much less damage from mines, tank shells, lancer rounds than most other units, but the downside is that they're not as well defended against rifles/machine guns.

>>26221518
Unfortunately, it seems like the Belkans had some suspicions about you pulling this sort of play. Almost immediately, a pair of medium tanks pulls away from the main group to engage you. They're still quite a ways off, but you can see the shells already falling around you.

The medium tanks fire first. One of them, a tank painted in reds and blues, takes a shot, but he misjudges just how fast the Fenrir is and the shell lands harmlessly behind the tank, showering you with dirt and grass. The second one, a tank painted white with a green trim, is a bit luckier, bounding a shell off the Fenrir's front armor, causing the entire vehicle to shudder and your teeth to chatter.

Julia's reply is short and to the point. The 122mm cannon booms and suddenly the red and blue tank just disappears in a cloud of smoke and dirt. When the dust settles, all that's left is a crater flanked by a pair of burning treads.

Undaunted, the second medium tank continues to close distance, firing as it comes.

"Wait up, Sam, we'll catch up to you." You say, motioning for Julia to make a beeline for the town. In the distance, you can hear Headcase's cannon continue to boom, and you see quite a few burning tank carcasses to show for it. You're now too far to really be able to see the main battle, but the constant explosions and cannon reports indicate it's still going fiercely. Fortunately for you, it seems like those two medium tanks were trying to glory hog, and didn't report your position to the rest of the army.

You see the Growler and the rest of the Demons huddled up inside a drainage ditch just outside the town. The see you approach and wave you down.

"So what's the situation?" You ask.

"No contact so far. They probably didn't have a lot of time to dig in, but we can't discount the possibility of Imps inside the town ready to ambush." Sam says.

"Whatever the case, there don't seem to be any watching the perimeter." Tarin points out.

>Albion = Britain

How about Cascadia as NotCanada? Although if this is "not WW2" then Canada would be sparsely populated and still considered part of Britain

>The medium tank again manages to fire first, but due to some weird twist of fate, the shell actually bounces off the front of Fenrir's armor, and ricochets directly back at the tank that fired it with enough force to dent its turret in.
Shit, this actually happened to me once at the archery range. The targets have metal shutters that cover them when not in use to keep out the rain. Well I missed the target, my arrow hit one of the hinges and went *SKPANG* and came flying back at me end first.

"Okay, we'll take the town. That'll be sure to put a red hot poker up their asses." You nod. You then survey the town yourself for a bit. It's nothing too special, just a rather large town of probably a few thousand people. Old brick and mortar, with small narrow streets that were never designed to handle tanks rolling through them.

>The pact with the Nazis bearing Molotov's name, which secretly stated the Soviet intention to invade Finland in November 1939, was widely mocked by the Finns, as well as much of the propaganda Molotov produced to accompany it, including his declaration on Soviet state radio that bombing missions over Finland were actually airborne humanitarian food deliveries for their starving neighbors. The Finns, far from starving and engaged in a bitter war for national survival with the Soviet forces, sarcastically dubbed the Soviet cluster bombs "Molotov bread baskets" in reference to Molotov's propaganda broadcasts. When the hand-held bottle firebomb was developed to attack Soviet tanks, the Finns called it the "Molotov cocktail", as "a drink to go with the food".

And Molotovs stopped being effective against tanks once people realized how to protect their engines.

>>26225226
Yep, Not!Mexico too. But South America is pretty much Erusea, a semi-unified coalition of South American states whose common goal is to not get its shit kicked in by Emmeria.

Essentially, Emmeria is what happens if the US never really got out of its Manifest Destiny phase, and Erusea is what happens if Bolivar actually managed to unite South America.

"Alright everybody, you know the drill." You say, leaping off Fenrir and getting your feet back on solid ground. "Tarin and Brillant up front to scout ahead. Ramirez, Heloise, and Arthur stick with the Growler and cover the rear. Everybody else in between. We're going to do this by the book and clear this town block by block."

"Yes sir!" Everybody affirms.

You all move forward slowly and carefully. However, you don't see anything odd, other than the the occasional swish of curtains, or the pitter patter of fleeing civilians.

It was unnerving.

Something wasn't quite right in this town.

Tarin and Brillant silently creep down the street towards the town square. Something catches Brillant's eye and he whips to his right, rifle ready to fire.

In any other situation, Brillant's instincts would have been right on the money, considering he had an Imperial soldier set up in an ambush position right in sights. However, the only problem was that the Imp was already dead.

From an arrow in his skull.

In fact, the town was littered with Imp bodies, dead from various causes, not the least of which were bullets, stab wounds, and more arrows. You have a sneaking suspicion of what happened here.

"Jager, my man!" Jack Church's booming voice rings out.

Your squad instinctively raises their weapons and points the at the source of the sound. You see Jack waltzing out from a boarded up tavern with his customary longbow and broadsword. Behind him his fellow SOE operatives start quietly filtering out.

"Jack! What the hell is your pasty white Albian ass doing here?!" You say, hugging your brother in arms.

"Same as you, I imagine, killing Imps!" Jack laughs and winks. "Also, our mutual employer told me about your secret mission."

"So you're here to support us?" You ask.

"More or less." Jack shrugs. "We were inserted into Belka months before the invasion. We've been mapping out everything we can, keeping track of movements in and out of that mountain base they're keeping Excalibur in, regular spy stuff. When the big guns started shooting, we decided to help out by clearing out this town and taking out their commanders. Should've known that being in a nation full of knightly bastards, they'd all be on the frontlines."

"Yeah, Belkans tend to be a too honorable to trick sometimes." You laugh.

"Cap, we should probably like, go blow something up now." Sam sighs, poking you in the shoulder. "The battle's still going on.

"Right!" You nod and turn back to Jack. "You guys got anything that can crack tanks?"

"Jager, I was BORN to crack open tanks!" Jack grins.

You think on your options. On the one hand, you since you're mostly infantry heavy, you can try luring the Belkan armor into the town and ambush them here, but then you'd lose the element of surprise. On the other hand, you could push and just hit the Belkan armor from the rear. The only problem with that is if your infantry were caught in the open, they'd get blown to pieces.

Burning one of Karla's towns to the ground? O yes, I advocate doing this.

>>26226665
Can we do both? have our infantry set up in town, push with the grower and both tanks, pop a few and then pull back when we loose the suprise.

>>26227094
Not the town.
The tanks.
Fire is one of the most effective ways to kill a tank, by cooking the crew alive inside, and that was the original purpose of molotovs (actually a Finnish invention, if you didn't know).

>>26226665
"Okay, we're going to turn this town into a killzone and draw in some Imps." You say, "I don't suppose you tapped into their comms?"

"Got the whole set sitting in the pub." Jack points to the tavern behind him.

"Good. Elizabeth, if the Belkans come calling, tell them you need reinforcements ASAP. That should get them scrambling."

"Got it, sir." You spy nods.

"Everybody else, get up in the buildings and get ready to rain some hell down. Julia, go pull on their tails a bit."

"Got it, sir."

Your squad then splits up along with Jack's men, taking positions on the upper floors of the surrounding buildings and shooing away any civilians you come across. Meanwhile, Julia inches Fenrir just out of the town, taking stock of the battle outside. The battle is still even matched, with sides slugging it out, though both sides have taken major losses. Those M5s were certainly helping the Feds hold their line. Even the Belkans were wary of their mighty 90mm cannons.

Julia takes aim at a nearby Heavy tank destroyer painted a dull ochre yellow. Julia coordinates with Headcase, who fires several shots at the Heavy TD to draw its attention. It slowly turns to face the threat, presenting its vulnerable rear to Julia.

>>26227211
No, that's just wasted time. This town will be a supply point for the invasion, we need to push as hard and fast to Excalibur.

>>26227247

Just a town wouldn't be too bad in the long term given it is the empire we are looking to get peace from. But a full on scorched earth policy would be a fast way to screw up.

>>26227247
Maybe what I was pushing got lost? Basically, I was all for using molotovs on the tanks as part of the town ambush along with a small side of arson. Sort of a f-you to Karla for torching our place. With all the flaming tanks rolling around no one would look too far into the surrounding town catching fire.

>>26227178
The ochre TD explodes in a brilliant ball of fire as its heavy ammunition and its ragnite engine are detonated. Its surrounding comrades are confused at first, until the commanders turn around and see the Fenrir poking out from the town. Already, a number of tanks begin spinning around.

"They fell for it, Captain." Elizabeth announces. "They're sending in a relief force right now."

I agree, one or two more shots then pull her back.

Can we get started on those molotovs that totally won't burn the town down?

>>26227347
Not wanting to get caught in the sights of numerous tanks, the Fenrir's gears begin to kick in reverse, but not without one last parting shot.

Julia's parting shot manages to demolish an approaching medium tank, which is all she's willing risk before pulling back into the town. Meanwhile, some of yours and Jack's troops start firing their weapons wildly deeper in town, giving the impression there's still some Imperial resistance in the town.

Thinking their comrades are in need of help, the Belkan relief column simply charges straight in. By your count, there are three light tanks, five mediums, and three heavies with some light infantry support. Slowly but surely, the begin marching right into your prepared killzones. A quick drive by from the Fenrir causes the whole column to pause, which is just the moment you needed.

Grenades are are armed, molotov cocktails are set alight, and lances are aimed.

Between the frag grenades and the molotov cocktails, the infantry doesn't even stand a chance. Some of the tanks have caught on fire. However, your two lances attempt to hit the heavies but fail to do any significant damage.
