Sorry guys, its the end of the grading period here... you know how that is: "Hey, its time to test your balls off because we have been jerking around for about 2 months now! Oh, and while youre at it, write a few papers. Jolly good!"
Plus, I am getting hardcore in my spanish scenario's creation ;p
BUT I promise it was worth the wait haha
KOMBAT:
Tarnesvar was heavily bombarded and attacked, with the loss of about 8-10 defenders. Only five cossacks were lost, although several retreated.
Due to losses experienced over time, the Tzar has decided to initiate the creation of a massive roll of all able bodied Russian males in order to make service in the military more representative of the members of the state. It is expected that the conscription program's efforts will take 2-3 months before it is ready to initiate the callups.
Discontent appeared almost instantly after this declaration was made, with several peaceful protests and marches organized in some of the larger cities (most notably Moscow). There were calls by some of the protesters for the creation of a more equitable state which better represents those called upon to die for the state. These protests are expected to escalate in size and ferocity as the conscription process goes on. There are fears that they could indeed topple the state, as most of the military is otherwise occupied on the front lines.
A fifth Corps was created today after nearly two months of organization efforts. It is intended to protect the homeland against the expected incursions of German troops.
The Tzar sent out his Christmas gifts this week:
A brace of fine white horses to the French President
A yacht for the Queen of England
A beautiful Louis XIV oak table for the Prime Minister of Italy
And a finely engraved pistol with a single bullet to his German Cousin... with a note on how to use it
Onward!
