Got some inspiration
Excerpts from diary of AS-2010 gunnerJanuary 2010. Arrived to the bootcamp
February 2010.
We got new weapon that will the war for us. It is an incredible machinegun. Somewhat heavy but nothing that trained team can't handle. It is called AS-10, but we call it Austin
June 1910. Finally, after months of training we arrived to the front. Those sword carrying cavary morons will remember my crew for some time. War will be over in few months
July 1910. Encountered enemy machinegun. That pile of shit creates very nasty wounds. We call them horse****s or HDs for short
September 1910. Have seen a HD on enemy abandoned positions. Only an idiot can design such monster. I suspect they compensate something
December 1910. We reached abandoned villages, should we push them out, the war will be over
February 1911. My crew is dead. Damned artillery shell. I am in hospital now. It is overfilled with wounded and no good news from the front.
September 1911. Back to active duty. Arrived to jungles. I am getting mad because of heat.
November 1911. They need to design lighter machinegun for jungle warfare. At least we are not forced to drag HDs through the mud.
March 1912. Life becomes boring. I sit on the wall of the fort almost praying for Moskurg's attack
April 1912. Back to the hospital because of some tropical fever
November 1912. Returned to active duty. It is already snowing. Hope that winter will stall their advance through plains
February 1913. New uniform. If my buddies had helmets back in 1911, they would stay alive. What is more important they fixed our artillery. "Twelves" bring death to the scum and we push them back again.
April 1913. Trenches. Trenches. Trenches.
June 1913. Trenches. Trenches. Trenches. Hate it.
January 1914. At first I assumed that they started to use captured Austins, but no, they fielded machineguns of proper size. Slowpokes needed three years to do this
February 1914 Damn. Their new machineguns are everywhere. I must admit it is rather nice weapon. Hopely we will get an equivalent.
March 1914. Trenches... Trenches... Trenches... Trenches...
July 1914. We are sitting in the same place for months. This damned war will never end.
August 1914. Caught a bullet in my leg. Almost grateful for that.
January 1915. Back in action. I got new version of Austin. It uses a detachable magazine. It is a mixed blessing. At least there are many more Austins nearby
February 1915. We got attacked by a... car. I have seen cars before when I visited the capital but this one is very different. It got nicknamed Horse because it carries a HD. Luckily, this thing is not immortal. Twelve Austins focused fire on it and we won the day.
April 1915. We are pushing forward again. Our railless trains armed with guns kick some asses! Eat that, scum! "Sunday express" we call them. Frontline irony is strange sometimes.
June 1915. It exploded. I have seen it. No one know what happened but it is the first Sunday express we lost.
September 1915. Once again It looks like war will be over soon.
February 1916. There are rumors that we will get light machinegun soon. Finally! We need them
March 1916. 9mm!!? What idiot does machinehuns using this calibre? It is like DH but different side of stupidity.
March 1916. On other hand infantry like it. They say it is great in trenches.
April 1916. My buddy from artillery says they got new version of "Twelve". Good.
June 1916. Enemy starts to use its own version of Sunday Express. Of cause it is inferior to ours but I don't envy our guys in this hot metal coffins.
