SheepNES: Settling Accounts

Eastern Front. A small Ukrainian village, 70 miles from Kiev.

Sergeant Eytinge seed no difference between Satan and a Russian.

Being under his command, as you could probably expect, changes the expectations of fair treatment between the two sides. You are told the Russians will give you no mercy, and thusly you give the Russians no mercy. You are driven nearly mad in combat to escape this prophecy of doom at the hand of the Russians. Its a two sided exchange of fear of capture. I was not prepared for the war, and I was especially ill prepared for the audacity of the brutality of it.


We were outnumbered, so we decided to strike when the enemy was not prepared.

Three of our squads were in a Ukrainian village. It was dilapitated from costant shelling. Russian looters had pillaged the homes, swarming like hungry ants to eat picnic food. Our regiment had won back this ground, but we were spread out. Worse, the Russians were heading for us. We knew this, of course, and were filled with anger for our mortal enemies. We were ready. The Russian Tartars weren't, which was not surprising.

The dead of night brings unreal fears to the human mind. You become more aware of your surroundings. Humans can do this. But the Russians seem to lack this ability, as we would soon find out. More evidance the Russians aren't human.

The sergeant put our squad behind a low wall in front of a narrow street. We knelt and hid with the shadows. We saw the Russians coming miles away; they somehow lacked the mental ability to comprehend military tactics such as stealth.

The sergeant poked his head up above wall and scanned the road. At first he seemed not to notice anything. Then, he turned to us and pointed towards the road and nodded. They were here.

I could here the, shuffling and talking. They were unaware.

The sergeant motioned again. Ready.

They came closer, unaware of their fate. Still chuckling. I will be chuckling after this.

Sergeant again motioned. Set.

Thoughts raced through my mind. Would I be ready for the upcoming fight?

Sergeant didn't give me the chance to think. He motioned again. Follow me lead.

He reached for his belt and unsheathed his knife. He turned, and the rest happened in slow motion. In one motioned he round up and threw the knife. If rotated gracefully in the air, once then again. It finally reached its destination, and imbeded itself in a Russian chest.

This may make or break my NES carrer, may Sheep have mercy on me. Forward my brave Germans, for country and Kaiser!! :salute:

Your NESing career will only benefit from the experience whether you win or lose. Your present country in this particular NES is, however, doomed anyway. ;) Btw, why am I suddenly "treacherous"?

For I will not abide by the reign of evil genocidal maniacs.

Are you reffering to Martin Dorcel? If so, I am sure he's very hurt. He isn't evil at all, he is good. He is a GOOD genocidal maniac (both from the moral viewpoint and from that of skill ;) ). :p
 
Which one? Your improvised Black Shirt leader? Btw, how's Purishkevich doing?

Answer my question as to why I'm doomed before I answer yours....

Wait... I get it.... and that is why you are treacherous. :lol:
 
The Tartars shall DIE!!!!

Indeed they shall, though the Crimean ones will have to wait until the Russian forces recapture that peninsula. Or shall the Turks genocide them while the Russian kill off the ones in Kazan and Astrakhan?

I'm not quite sure who Purishkevich is....

Leader of the Russian reactionaries, though I suspect he's dead by now. And yes, I mean the Black Hundreds ofcourse.

Answer my question as to why I'm doomed

Because I have a plan so cunning you can stick a tail on it and call it a weasel.

He will be soon if he isn't ;].
 
I dunno, send orders soon. Though I am fairly confident that our victory is both assuered and inevitable.

Hmmph, in that case I might as well jump ship when the update comes and take Japan. If I don't survive Sheep, consider it reserved for me! :D
 
What exactly happened in the next few years is unclear. That is to say, it is perfectly known that World War One, or the Great War as it was called back then, had ended, and peace came to the world, inspiring and calm, how ever disatisfactory it seemed to many in Paris. But we know not what happened to during this time to our hero Martin Dorcel. We only know that three years after he had deserted and ran off into the countryside, he had reappeared in Orleans, apparently sane, sober, but very quiet about his past. Not that there were many people who cared about this past of his - his father died back when Martin was young. His mother died from stress and influenza while he was wandering throughout France. He had no other relatives, his friends were dead or moved away. And ofcourse he was very poor, homeless and unemployed.

But misfortune is as fickle as fortune. Gradually, France was healing. The nation lost much weight and still had a psychological trauma, and it would take some time before its teeth grew back, but it was getting better by the day without any help from the doctors (much like Martin Dorcel himself, who, upon his reemergance, was evidently very ill, and couldn't afford medical help, but got better by himself, having been graced by God with a healthy organism). As the economy was being revived, he begun to find occasional work and even housing in the philantropical worker houses. At times ofcourse he wandered jobless, but even then, his remarkable health and ability to find some friends amongst other such downcasts had seen him alive, and occasionally drunk.

In late 1928, as new industries were being built up all over the country, Dorcel finally managed to get a permanent job, with demands for manpower growing high and manpower itself remaining comparatively low ever since the war. A few months later, world economy collapsed, and millions lost their jobs. This rough awakening put an end to the dreamlike existance Dorcel had led ever since the Mutiny of 1917. He woke up, remembered everything, looked in disgust at his life since then, and all that was being gathered up in his heart for years - sorrow, rage, hatred, and above all, restlesness - suddenly burst out. Dorcel was awakened by this blow, and a few years later, he managed to help awaken an entire nation united in one thing - lust for action, Action Francaise.
