gone until Sunday which is when I will update
stSbNESIII - 1815 Turning the Clock Back
- Thread starter Stormbringer
- Start date
Colonel Gustaf Karlsson of the Swedish Royal Army stood next to the Oldenburger officer as cannons flashed and more men were blown apart. The Oldenburger trap had been sprung well, with an unplundered field waiting for the Hanoverians to loot, and 100 men and cannons waiting in the forest for the perfect moment. Now, the Oldenburgers charged, and started firing. The redcoats re-formed into some ranks, and their muskets flashed, covering fire to escape.
When the war had flared up, King Charles XIV John had seen an opportunity to learn the lessons of post-Napoleonic warfare. He sent two Swedish colonels as observers to Niedersachsen, one on each side. After some diplomatic confusion on the Hanoverian side, everything worked out, and many lessons of guerilla warfare were being taught to the two Swedes, who sent letters to Stockholm every week.
The brilliantly conceived Hanoverian plan had fallen apart with the bitingly cold summer, as troops went unfed for days and started to loot and disorganize. The Oldenburgers saw their chance, and initiated guerilla warfare to keep the redcoats from their city. Every other day there was an ambush that claimed lives. The Swedes cursed their noncombatant status and wished to fight, although their King wouldn't let them.
When the ambush was sprung, the twin cannons had torn a hole in one unlucky redcoat, alerting his brothers. Soon, the Hanoverians dove for the ditches and returned fire. There had been sniping for hours before the Oldenburgers mustered a charge that drove their enemy from the field. Casualties on each side were about ten men. The one thing that Gustaf was learning from guerilla warfare was that it was slow. His opposite number in the Hanoverian lines thought it was barbaric. And so, the conflict continued, stretching into its second year.

Dispite what Swedish Military officres have said, Oldenburg and Hanover has made peace 1 month(1 day) after the ending of the year and peace once more reigns on the Continent. The Hanoverian Duke urges the Swedish King not to allow his military officers to fight imagineray enemies as it's not very healthy for troops to do that.

OOC: keep OOC and IC a difference, i didn't answer ur PM since i didn't think lives should've been lost for your amusement and knowledge. And i'm also sure that Oldenburg wouldn't let your officers see their army in action just so you could "learn" from the deaths of their soldiers during the time of peace. They never saw the attack coming from Hanover, so why would they let you see their army?

OOC: heh, i apologize. i just got kinda pissed about how sadistic the Swedish King is watching other ppl die and learning from it. I just remember writing a story in North King's Ruins of Empires that made some ppl give him LOT of complaints

I have orders from UK, Hanover, Russia, Switzerland, Sardina, Sweden, Naples and thats it. Where are my Prussia, France, Spain, Papal States, Ottoman Empire? You all have another day to get orders in, or for that matter if anyone else wants to take any of those countries and give me orders it will be apreciated.

Prussian player quit, French player quit, Ottoman player quit. Grim times, but all the more fun since you can go on a sociopathic NPC rage.
