1928
A soldier sits on a chair inside a small pillbox. His brand new SVA-25 rests agains the concrete, while he waits for his comrade to return. When he does return, he returns with two welcome cups of hot tea.
' Quiet night, isn't it comrade? ' Said the arrival as he sat in the opposite chair.
' Yes. But, such is life as people in our positions, nothing much to do, long, boring...'
He is suddenly cut off by his friend as he suddenly looks out the firing slit and spots a man silhouetted agains the moonlight. He rushes to a nearby metal box mounted on the wall, sounding a loud klaxon.
' We are under attack comrade!' He says as he grabs his SVA-25, pokes it out and starts firing. Soon, three other pillboxes are firing either Maxims or SVA's at the attackers.
4 people seem to have luck with their bursts, killing one each and pinning the other 20 or so in position. The withering hail of bullets frightens the attackers, and soon they are running. They are seen making their way to a landing craft before pulling away from the shore. It seems they severely underestimated Forenia.
And now Forenia is at war.
The official declaration came from the offices of Toeren, a nearby island state, located in the Mediterranean. It is a facist state led by General Guantimo, and with a powerful navy. The landing craft was recon. Now it is time for full war.
Luckily this happened near the end of the year, meaning the new weapons were ready. And the prototypes were about to be tested.
TP-1 Heavy Machine Gun
Test 1- 20mm Angular Armour
The machine gun lets loose, the first burst bouncing, the third one bouncing again, and the final one bouncing. The officials do not look impressed.
Test 2- 20mm sloped.
The first burst bounces, while the second and third hit and penetrate. The politicians look more impressed with your creation.
LUP-40
Test 1- Infantry
The gun opens up, the HE rounds sailing towards the group of wood dummies, and the first burst completely annihilates the dummies. This test is met by standing ovation at the success of the gun.
Test 2- 20mm angular plate.
The gun lets forth three volleys, the last two completely shredding the plate with the first bouncing. The officials seem very pleased.
Test 3- 20mm sloped
The gun opens up, but all three shots sadly bounce. The officials are not phased though, and afterwards offer a new factory and more workers.
You accept, and the new guns are finished.
But, first, you receive the design documents for the new tank!
