Battle Report 13, 1902This year is another continuation of our great successes, our greatest addition being the
Yavakh Motorcycle, a fast and highly advanced motorcycle that is faster then any other motorcycle made by the world, and it even can use a side car! We also made an update to our very outdated uniforms and thus the
Daldlakh Infantry Uniform was created, it offers not only concealment but better protection from artillery, shrapnel, and snipers, especially in the case of our officers and our own snipers.
The Nafunan's meanwhile, made a true horror of an abomination called the
Kadesh Armored Mechanical Chariot, which is quite simply an armored mechanical chariot armed with a machine gun and a Sekhmet, it appears lightly armored, and a shot to its tires can stop it in its tracks most of the time, but it has a decent speed for what it is. They also seem to have fielded the
Carrera 'Vera' Series 1 Model 2 Self Loading Light Battle Rifle, which was apparently under work for a while, regardless, it hasn't replaced their old rifle, but it fires without needing a bolt pulled, and to that end, fires a bit faster.
Battle Report, Naval Combat: As it turns out, with absolutely nothing worked on that applies to the sea, by ether sides, the battle goes quite simply more or less in the exact same way it did last year. Our torpedoes help make the enemy ships paranoid and makes them try to stay away from us and kill us with their better guns, but we can still catch up and do damage, especially with our torpedoes,
and we still have an advantage Battle Report, Ruins. Attackers, No one: With the battle here being at a standstill and nothing but the combat for the surrounding waters happening, we moved a particular skilled sniper off to a more needed front in the middle of all the fighting, while the soldiers here had a nice time relaxing and looking up to the mountains where the enemy simply stayed behind their defenses, not coming down from the mountains this year.
Battle Report, Villages/Hills. Attackers, Karikhita, Nafuna: It is here both of our own major new weapon and their own makes its debut. Our bikes are fast and perfect for hit and run tactics that deal a good amount of damage to the enemy and running away before the enemy can retaliate. The usage of bikes most of the time also reduces the amount enemy artillery is able to do to us, and so too do the new helmets we have. However, the enemies new gun is effective and useful against our charges, even more so is their armoured car, as even though we can easily immobilize it, that doesn't stop it from firing, and usually, the best way with dealing with the things is stopping them and moving somewhere else, which we can do, although they tend to follow sometime later if someone misses hitting one of the spare tires on the thing. Our uniforms are also useful here in regards to the fact that they keep our soldiers better hidden, and so too do they keep our snipers. In fact, Tartu who was moved to this front fought with a group of snipers known as Neith's hunters, and he was able to kill a few of them and wound the rest, which did a blow to the moral of the Nafunans.
Despite all the bloody fighting however, No one makes any ground [Karikhita 0/4, Nafuna 4/4]Battle Report, Swamp/Savannah. Attackers, Karikhita, Nafuna: The battles that happen in the Savannah are very similar to the ones that happen in the villages, just we are able to be just that little bit more stealthy which helps our operations go much smother, however, the new guns that they have in the swamp are quite the pain, as while we are able to get one or two shots off before they can retaliate and spot our position, the survivors retaliation is a brutal barrage of fire that cuts down our soldiers quite badly, even if at times they are just guessing where our troops are at times. Of course, their casualties are massive because of our hidden assaults, but stealth alone is not enough to hold off an entire battalion.
Still, while we do lose ground, its only barely and they suffer massive casualties doing so, thanks to both our attacks in the savannah and our advantage at remaining unseen. [Karikhita 3/4, Nafuna 1/4] Outside world and Internal affairs: Thanks to both our expanding industry and the need to produce more oil thanks to how successful the Yavakh motorcycle is, we are now starting to drill for more oil for fuel. In other news, Britain and Japan have signed a treaty after months of negotiating which commits each country to supporting an independent China and Korea, although it acknowledges Japan's 'special interest' in Korea. A United States court of appeals rules that Thomas Edison did not invent the movie camera. France and Russia issue a joint declaration that approves the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, but stipulates that they have the right to protect interests in China and Korea. The US President Theodore Roosevelt signs a treaty with Mexico under which both countries agree to submit a long-standing dispute over interest payments to the Court of Arbitration at The Hague. And the Boer War Ends with the Treaty of Unity signed, resulting in Britain annexing Transvaal.
Mongol Sabre, A old sword design that has served us well even after all these years, It can be used on horseback just as well as it can be used on foot. Costs 1 Ore -Cheap
SS Yalagdashgui, Its a large ship armed with the brand new Tom-Shonkhor cannon. Its slow but basically impervious to all Nafunan fire and it uses not only the power of the wind to sail through the waves, but the power of steam as well using large paddle wheels. Costs 3 Ore 2 wood, Complex- Expensive
Burgud Infantry Rifle, A smokeless powder rifle with the ability to fire five shots before needing to be reloaded, as one would expect its better then our old gun and replaces it as our main rifle, along with it being quite simply as good or better in all regards. Can be used on horseback and has a bayonet and leather strap for ease of carry. Costs 1 ore, 1 wood Cheap
Luu-Class Cruiser, A very fast ship that is lightly armoured but armed enough to take down any Asennu-class the Nafunans have. Due to its speed, it hunts down enemy transport ships more then anything else. Costs 3 ore, 2 wood, -complex, Expensive
Algasahk Rifle Scope, Quite literally a spyglass slapped onto a rifle, it helps our skirmishers see further then they would otherwise, but not much else... -Cheap
Shuurga LMG, A very light Machinegun that is fast firing, slow to overheat, and quick to load. In other words, better then the Nafunans machinegun in almost every way. Costs 2 ore -Cheap
Osolt HE TNT, A explosive shot for our cannons, just plain better then our old shot, even if it doesn't explode once in a blue moon. -Cheap
Ayanga QF-12cm L40, A brand new 120mm Artillery gun that is smaller and lighter then the Nafunan's gun, of course, its mass produced numbers also help with its effectiveness, along with it being equipped on ships and soldiers having flarerrows to call shots down on a position. Costs 3 Ore, -Cheap
Tos-Mori Truck, A new machine powered not by steam, but by oil. The old engine was replaced with the W3L-Mk1, made by Tsaasen, and is very robust and reliable unlike the old one. Costs 2 Ore, 1 oil.
Khagas Semiautomatic Rifle, An attempt that was made to make a semi automatic rifle. We never managed to make a working prototype thanks to sabotage...
Mogoi Torpedo, A useful and powerful explosive that propels itself under the waves to strike at enemy ships from beneath, causing flooding and structural damage.
Yavakh Motorcycle, an amazing work of art that has basically replaced the horse for our military, it can include a sidecar which can be mounted with a machine gun and it is blisteringly fast. A modern Karikhitan master peace. Costs 1 Ore, 1 Oil. -Cheap
Daldlakh Infantry Uniform, Our brand new uniform that replaced our old outdated one, it includes wonderful camouflage abilities, makes officers and NCO's harder to detect, and has plenty of places to put ammo and other things. It also has a nice helmet that protects from shrapnel very well.
Khopesh, A old shoddy short sword design they have not forgotten even after all these years, the major difference between it and the original is the use of steel instead of iron or bronze and it is much sharper then what they had before. Costs 1 Ore-Cheep
1891 Nafuni Soldier Uniform Standardization, A standardization of Nafuna's soldiers, it gives them a pouch and belt for paper ammo, along with a faded gold colored thick shirt that protects against arrows and leather boots. They also are given a helmet, with skilled people having their helms have golden falcon wings on the helm, sadly not sticking out like the bayonet, so we cant drag them down to the ground in combat. All soldiers seem to be equipped with this.
Carrera Series 1 Model 1 Repeating Rifle, An oddly named rifle with break action loading and a revolver mechanism. It can fire all six shots fairly quickly, but it takes a while to reload, leaving it about as quick as our own rifle. No longer makes smoke when fired
Reseph-Vizier Series 2 Service Rifle Model 1900, A long range rifle used by the bulk of Nafunan troops, and by their skirmishers. Its a bolt action and has a box magazine along with a few weird features attached to it as well. Fires slightly more often then our own.
Carrera Series 3 Model 2 Rapid Repeater Revolver, Its a machinegun that uses a revolver and is really annoying to deal with, doesn't seem to penetrate light cover too well and is heavy. Usually has a 2 man team or 3 when being moved somewhere.
Sekhmet 1.6-inch Revolver Cannon, A cannon that is about as heavy as it looks and about as mobile as a horse with only two legs. Can pack quite a punch and has a shield to protect the gunner from gunfire. Needs 6 people to move the thing from what we have seen, and can penetrate cover.
QF Tauret Field Artillery Piece model 1898, Artillery with a massive range compared to our own and has the ability to be used out of sight of its target via the use of sparkly things refereed to as 'flares' It has quite the explosive punch and is fast firing. Apparently what project hippo is.
Sobek class Nushunefu, A Ironclad like our own, has heavy armour and two basic turrets along with a decent amount of casemates. Its not as fast as the Luu, but still quite a bit faster then the Yalagdashgui, then again, most things are...
Cheops Personal Machine Gun Model 1901, A hand held machine gun that seems to take a long time to reload most of the time and is suspected of being very unreliable, however when it fires its just as deadly as any other machine gun, especially at close range.
Toth-Type Observational Kite Balloon, A observational balloon that is very stable and able to go quite high up to help spot flares and artillery for their own.
Kadesh Armored Mechanical Chariot, A 'armored chariot' with light armour. It has a machine gun and one of their Sekhmet cannons. Its not that fast however, at least compared to our bikes, and we believe its a bit slower then the tos mori, although we aren't sure.
Carrera 'Vera' Series 1 Model 2 Self Loading Light Battle Rifle, Simply put, its a rifle that doesn't need a bolt to be pulled after every shot, although they still use their bolt actions quite a bit.
Since some people asked for it.
