The Great War has been raging for three years.
The Changeling war machine has destroyed countless lives, but the days of the invincible Changeling Heer are long gone. Their shattered supply lines have run dry, and the Equestrians have deployed fresh reserves from the East, furnished by the River Republic. The great counteroffensive has begun.
Everypony recognizes the war is in its closing days, but there is still plenty of fighting to be done. Tank commander Rising Glory answers a desperate call for help, unwittingly altering the course of history.
Set in the Equestria At War, Hearts of Iron 4 mod universe. The timeline is based on a personal multiplayer game.

This was gud. Really enjoyed it.
My one quibble would probably be that you’d be better served going with km/h, rather than miles. Even a light tank during WWII, or any MBT except maybe a Leopard II, would be hard-pressed to go 40 mph.

Thanks, I really appreciate it.
The original script was written for some Americans on my Discord who insisted on using MPH lol, and I completely agree on the speed but smh Churchill should have just upgraded the engine 9 times in the Hoi4 tank designer.

Lmao.
Of course, you say that as if you wouldn't focus on tank production that can keep up with elite Pegasi divisions (6km/hr average operational speed) that, because
they have stupid high orgthey're, well, elite units, can effective support many more tanks and still provide effective combined arms support.While it's obviously not the same, I'm currently at ~1016 in a GRI Gabriella run, and since I have both the army doctrines researched (superior firepower then whatever the far left one that's late-game mobile warfare), my Knight divisions have 7 knights and 5 early MBTs and still have like 80 max org. I'd be half a mind to add even more tanks, but I currently have a ~7k MBT deficit since I only just researched them, and I figure that if I end up fighting the few major powers left who'll have also unlocked all the army doctrines and with it a crap ton of org in their divisions too, I'll need it as well.
