You're currently enjoying a very nice cruise on the Vergeltung as it steams down the western coast of Europa into the Mediterranean. The u-boat is currently running on the surface since it could faster, and it could vent the dangerous ragnite fumes that slowly built up as it ran. Captain Davos assured you that it would be safe, since the back of the Imperial Navy had been broken at Albion, and their u-boats never dared venture too close to the coast where they would be easier to spot.

Of course, there was also the problem of getting shot at by friendly forces. Fortunately, Davos had thought of that possibility and had a massive Albion flag raised over the command tower. More than a few Federation patrol ships and a few fishing boats would pull up absolutely bewildered. You'd give them a casual wave while Elizabeth presumably explained the situation to them over the radio.

It had been several days since you left Albion, and you would be entering the Mediterranean soon. You realize that you don't actually know all that much about Ustio.

You decide to go pester Sam about it. Reading her reports and notes about missions just wasn't the same.

You stalk through the narrow passages and chambers searching for her, giving a polite nod the occasional crewman and Demon you pass by. You find Sam inside the mess hall, busily scribbling away at a piece of paper as she continues to draft your strongly worded reply to the GRA.

"Sam. Hey Sam." You take a seat beside her and start poking her should. "I just realized I need info on Ustio."

"You know, why do I even write down those detailed notes and reports when you don't even bother reading them?" Sam sighs, setting down her pen.

"Benefits of command, Sam. I get to order you to do the reading for me." You bob your head jokingly.

"Fiiiiiine." Sam pouts before pulling out another folder from her bag. "Ustio's this large peninsula you see here. It's one of the Federation's easternmost territories. Pretty unique in that it's not actually connected to the Federation by any land route, due to the Empire controlling all of them."

"Then how did they manage to remain independent from the Empire?" You ask.

"Because Northern Ustio is pretty much one big mountain range. The Imperials can't use their favorite tactic of 'roll it over with waves of tank', so they have get through the range the hard way, mountain by mountain. It's why Ustio is managing to hold them off, even with an army a fraction of the size of the Empire's. However, the attrition is starting to catch up to them, and if nothing's done, current estimate is that the Imps break through the mountains within the month, and Ustio is done for."

"Anything I should know about the Ustians themselves?"

"Very stubborn and individualistic. They actually resemble Gallia in a lot of ways, though without the universal conscription since they're just a tad more pacifistic than us.

"Major strengths?"

"Lots and lots of money." Sam grins. "Huge mineral and precious gem deposits mean lots of reserve cash, and they're throwing it around like crazy in hopes someone will come help them out."

"Well I guess that's good for us."

"Unfortunately that also means their army is very well equipped, but small and inexperienced. No SOE or super navy to help us out here."

"Expected." You shrug. "Not like we haven't picked up some extra firepower on the way."

"It's gonna be tough. Northern Ustio is nothing like Gallia. Tight valleys and mountain passes, and treacherous mountain paths. It's going to be a nightmare for an army to get through."

"What about a small band of elite mercenaries?"

"You got a point there, Cap."

Satisfied, you decide to leave Sam to her work.

You decide to track down your mad genius inventor Qyburn. Apparently being confined to the tight spaces of the u-boat has magnified his creative instinct, and he had locked himself away in one of the aft bays ever since you left port. From the sounds emanating within, nobody has found the courage to try and investigate what he was up to.

Well, you guess it was time to change that.

Walking up to Qyburn's temporary lab, you can hear the whine and clanking of machinery on the other end of the bulkhead. You knock on the door just to be polite.

"Oh! Please, come on in, whoever you are!" Qyburn's voice squeaks from inside. "It's quite safe in here... for the moment!"

Grimacing at the last part, you carefully open the door and peek inside. It looks as if Qyburn had taken some of his older inventions and tore them apart to cobble something entirely new and terrible.

"Ah! Captain Sturmfuhrer! A pleasure to see you again!" Qyburn says happily, taking off his heavy welding mask. "What brings you in today?"

"I'm just checking in on you, Qyburn. Making sure you're not putting holes in the hull or anything."

"Oh, nothing like that!" Qyburn laughs and sits on a nearby work bench, and motions for you to join him.

"I the Gallian Resistance Army made an offer to hire you." He says as you sit down.

"Yeah, well, I told them I wouldn't take up their offer... politely of course."

"Of course." Qyburn nods. "I'm glad you didn't. There are far too many mercenaries, and professional soldiers too, who would throw away their morals for money, especially when it comes to the 'Darcsen Issue'. Is it true what Cordelia says?"

"About what?"

"That the Darcsens weren't the cause of the Calamity?"

>>24930166
"Archduchess Cordelia isn't the type of person to lie about something like that. But It's something that happened way back in the past. We have bigger things to worry about for now." You say.

"Well said, well said. I suppose I sound like a senile old fool doddering about things like that, eh?" Qyburn grins. "But it's always important to know where you you came from, especially for Darcsens, who have no place to call home. However, I find it funny..."

"What's funny?" You ask, perplexed.

"Everybody is so caught up with who caused the Calamity, or who won that terrible war it ended, that they start wars of their own to settle things. Tell me, Captain. Have you ever seen a Valkrur? A real one, in person?"

"No, I can't say I have." You shake her head. You heard of a couple showing up during the invasion, one on each side, but the Imperial one died in battle and the Gallian one straight up disappeared.

"And how many Darcsens have you seen?"

"Lots. In fact, there's you, Tarin, and Heloise on this ship right now."

"Exactly! People keep saying the Darcsens lost the war, yet here we still are, clinging to life despite the world's best efforts to stop us. Rather ironic, isn't it? The Valkrur are all but extinct yet we Darcsens still remain to suffer for their sins..."

"Qyburn, are you drunk?" You ask. You can swear you can sniff some alcohol under all of the machine oils and cleaning fluid in the workshop.

"Just a bit." Qyburn shrugs. "It helps jump start my inventor's instinct sometimes. Nothing that would impair my normal functions."

"Does it have to do with something like that?" You point to a large tube-shaped contraption nestled at the back of the chamber.

"Oh, just my latest project. Nowhere near done, but I think I've worked out all the kinks for it."

Sounds to me like Cordelia classified Alicia's activities pretty heavily. Side note: did anyone else get the feeling that she had a crush on Welkin in that game?

>>24930410
"Mind giving me some details on it?" You ask.

"Oh no, I'm sorry, but it's a policy of mine not to give any details on unfinished works." Qyburn shakes his head. "I don't want to get expectations up, you see? But I can guarantee you that if it works, it would help you greatly in Ustio's mountain ranges!"

Well, that didn't really tell you a lot, but you suppose you'd have to go with it.

The rest of the journey is rather uneventful, passing by the occasional Federation naval patrol. However, as you near Ustio's western shore, you notice a heavier and heavier naval presence. In fact, as your destination comes within sight, you can see Ustian and Osean battleships bombarding the mountains farther north.

"Well, that's encouraging." Sam muses.

The u-boat pulls into Valais, Ustio's northernmost major port and frontline base. From the looks of it, the "frontline" part has become rather literal. You can see much of the city has been damaged from heavy artillery bombardment, with the barrels of countless Ustian artillery pieces pointing up in the sky in defiance.

"Charming place." You say.

"Definitely not like Albion, that's for sure." Sam agrees.

The moment the gangplank drops and you step foot on the dock, you're already accosted by Ustian civilians trying to do god knows what. It takes an entire platoon of Ustian troops to push them back.

"I'm sorry about that." An Ustian officer steps forward to greet you. "Ever since the Imperials surrounded us, the only way out of Valais is by sea. And with all the ship being commandeered by the Federation, you can understand the residents here being a bit... antsy."

"I hope you greeting us here personally doesn't mean you're sending us out on a mission right away."

They haven't consolidated their position yet, so they're vulnerable to counterattack. My men are tied up just holding the northern passes, so I'll need you and your men to clear the south."

Make sure both Julia and the TD commander have a direct line to the mortar section, let them direct mortar fire if we need it.

You decide to hit them fast and hard, before they have a chance to react or dig in. Fortunately for you, this is Ustian home turf, so Freyberg helpfully provided you with a map of the area with the most likely places the Imps would set up defensive positions.

"Elizabeth, can you try checking for enemy comms? Any intel we can get would help a lot.

Thinking about it personally I would send some scouts out first instead of charging head long. But once we get a good idea then we charge directly in and bomb the place into nothing.

"I got nothing, Captain." Elizabeth says sadly. "Seems like they're keeping strict radio silence."

"That means they're pros." Sam groans.

Looking at the map, you see there are two possible defensive positions the Imps could be holed up in. Each has a good line of sight on the road. There's a hill that provides high ground vision over the road, and a forest next to the road that provides cover for ambushes.

>>24931667
>Split the squad and hit both positions simultaneously.
Hit both so that we throw the whole lot of them into confusion and disorganization

>>24931667
Take the hill.

Tank with a long gun plus forest is not fun.

>>24931698
Plus with us having the high ground Imps won't be able to hold this area any longer without being shot to hell and back.

Just wanted to add that in.

>>24931667
>>Send everybody at one location. [Hill]

CHARGE!

>>24931667
>Split the squad and hit both positions simultaneously.
Tarin, Heloise, Ramirez and Sam to the forest.

Jager, Alek, Brillant, and Isolde to the hill.

Julia and Headcase to provide fire support.

>>24931667
Send the tanks up the hill, with sam providing suport

Jaeger leads everyone else into the forest.
Send our sniper to get a good position to cover the hill, and order him to join up with the tanks after the hill is secured

>>24931667

>>24931741

Because Russian artillerymen are the best artillerymen.

>>24931792
Yeah, I never saw them mentioned in any of the posts so I was wondering if I missed something.

>>24931762
If that's where they are holed up, we can loop around them via the forest while they're fixtated on the tanks. If they aren't holed up at the hill, save a puny picket to be mowed down, the tanks will have the highground and can bombared the forest.

Light infantry can't do a whole lot to tanks anyway.

That was kinda the point I think. Germany would know best that you don't send tanks in alone after what Russia did to them.

>>24931667
"Alright people, we're going to sweep the hill. If they're not up there, fine, we'll sweep past and continue on down to the forest to flush them out. Armor goes up front, infantry right behind. They can't have anything heavier than lances with them."

"Should we call in the mortars?" Sam asks.

>Light up the hills.
>Hold off. We don't even know if they're up there.
>Have them hit the forest instead, in case there are Imps hiding out in there.

>>24931867

>>24931803
They don't have official names yet. I just wanted to make a reference to The Brothers Karamazov.

>>24931879
Depends on how long combat goes, but it will take at least several combat rounds while they reload.

>>24931867
>Have them hit the forest instead, in case there are Imps hiding out in there.

We're sweeping the hill with our full force. We should be fine if thats where they turn out to be.

If they are in the forest then forcing them to duck and cover will give us time to reposition.

>>24931900
Hmm... alright. I'm guessing we don't have WP ammo either then?

>>24931867
>Have them hit the forest instead, in case there are Imps hiding out in there.

>>24931867
Hit the forest. Artillary always blows the potential hiding spots.

We need to sync our charge with the shelling so we don't completely give ourselves away

Alek prioritizes taking out anyone with a lance.

And look out for mines.

>>24931911

This very much. If we're blowing up something we're not charging into right after then we need to sync that up as much as we can.

The mortar shells rain down on the forest with near perfect precisions, sending explosions rippling through the trees. If there was anything in there, it was deader than dead.

Meanwhile, you begin your push up the hill, with the Fenrir leading the way and the tank destroyer following close behind.

Dmitri Petrovich
Mortar Crew Leader
Prideful - has had a very long service record as an artilleryman, has worked with the smallest knee mortar through to the largest howitzers employed by Imperials. Became a mercenary after the rout of Maximillian's army, his crew were all under Radi Jaeger's command during the invasion. Likes joining in with Ivan in singing when the oppurtunity arises.

Ivan Volkhov
Mortar Crew member
Cheerful - Served alongside Dmitri for the course of his military career, typically whistles old tunes whilst operating the mortar, in fact generally sings old marching songs or tuns at any turn. Rumoured to be a raging alcoholic, but given his peasant origins that sort of is a given, Dmitri is often heard screaming at Ivan for being drunk on duty. Attempts to remain sobre during fire missions. Has once tried dropping a bottle of vodka down the tube.

Alexei Miroslav
Mortar Crew member
Oppurtunistic - Worked as a supply officer before his company was thrust into battle, joined Dmitri's mortar crew reluctantly, but has found himself quite at home amongst the two men he's come to consider his brothers. Thanks to his experience supplying units on the front he's great at mooching munitions from anybody he can, more than once he's handed Dmitri a mortar round with hostile markings.

The opening salvo is punishing, with three Imps going down due to precision fire between you, Tarin, and Brillant. There are about a dozen Imps left, but they've all taken cover from the incoming fire. You're not sure if there are any lancers in the mix, though.

Three of the grenades and Julia's high explosive shell strike true, forcing a number of the Imps to break cover or be blown to bits. Easily half of them are wounded in killed. Two lance rockets zip past, flying over your tanks and exploding harmlessly in the ridge behind you.

There are still at least six troops taking cover in hastily dug foxholes, taking potshots at your squad.

It's bad option. The Japs did that a many times and failed hard. The lost of life in those charges were always high. There's a reason for that. Guns > Pig stickers. Even if the enemy morale is bad is not worth risking people in a charge over when have many more options to use.

>>24932930

To be fair, most bayonet charges in recent times are mostly as desperation moves. As the war in the Pacific proved, bayonet charges are woefully ineffective against properly trained and disciplined soldiers.

>>24932669
"Everybody hold fire!" You order.

One cue, your squad holds its fire. Confused, the Imps also hold their fire as well.

"ATTENTION IMPERIAL SOLDIERS! THIS IS JAGER STURMFUHRER OF THE DEMONS OF RANDGRIZ." You yell loud enough to make sure they can hear you. "YOU ARE OUTNUMBERED AND OUTGUNNED AND HAVE NO HOPE OF WINNING. SURRENDER NOW AND YOU WILL NOT BE HURT."
