You lay with your rifle on a trench, it is day 6 and your defending the capital of the city state, its been 6 days after the invasion 3 days since they laid siege on one of the 3 big city states, and your capital!

You son of a Polanie, you mange to cower in the beaches in your home and now you lied yourself to fight against them? You brave little trooper, i mean Runeos always had a heart of courage when it comes to defence, you Standnoidian-insectoid.

Not 2 days ago a entire Olivandrian Platoon marched up offering to work for them, one of them A newly promoted Platoon leader and some officers and other independent sections and squads offered too, they gave you war plans and any other important information and tactics the olivandrians use.

But information aside, In the background you can hear heavy machine gun firing every 7 seconds, Some sounds of distance artillery firing and sounds of close whistling and very realistic feelings of an explosion.

You pick your self off the ground and grab your rifle, you walk up to a group of 5 soldiers, you become the 6th, soon the guard sergeant walks in and orders you to be in single rank line and to look lively.

(Problem was there was no liveliness in your emotions).

You stand at attention and hear your guard sergeant giving you a order from the guard colonel.

"Men at 05:45 hours the guard colonel ordered that this regiment defending the capital shall go over the top and strike the olivandrian artillery Batteries Within 2 hours after receiving this message, Capturing a Artillery gun or even an officer will be a beneficial to the war effort, This plan has been approved by Guard brigadier general Brights!"

You say with your squad mates "YES GUARD SERGEANT!" and he dismisses you, and you procced to go to your sentry post as you wait for your order, you get there and rise your rifle upon the shield, you see the dead empty land with dead empty bodies and dead empty tress with dead empty dirt!

It is a wasteland desert of dead! In fact the war turned into Krell (their hell)!

Soon it was time to go over the top, but whats this?

An assault force, with around about 107 soldiers and 3 Olivandrian landships (Tanks but better equipped and more used for specific comabt like trenches and open desert).

You shout on the top of your child voice "STAND TOO STAND TOO!"

soon whistle are blown because of the warning, they stand too, and start blasting.

Machine guns fire from burst to never ending firing, Rifles went from cackle by sight, to Popping and banging every 0.3 seconds, Anti tanks and light field artillery went from firing every 5 minutes to firing every 30 seconds.

Soon Monoplanes are here for support against olivandrian jet bombers, the battle was a spectacle to witness, men from both side fight honourably, some men hell even a platoon of guards hope over the wire to charge at the oncoming enemy! 

A deflected Olivandrian officer goes up to the trench commander and tells them that the Olivandrian Landships have a weakness in the engine vents, either a strong concentration of bullets or high explosive grenade can make it immobile and release carbon monoxide.

You over hear this and order 3 grenadiers (despite the fact your a guard private), to throw bunker busters on the Landship attacking from the (your) left, the pull the pins and throw their grandes with best accuracy, 2 hit the engine and 1 the track, the first 2 blow up the engine and destroyed the the tank, but the 3rd added more impact and had it it flipped the Landship into the ,iddle one and it exploded that killing at least 20 men around it.

Soon the Planes took down the bombers and assisted the defenders by destroying of these attackers, making the soldiers who are in the assault to retreat or defect to the defenders.

You see this spectacular show of bravery and honour and YOU yourself give the order to charge!

Soon the entire trench goes over the top and later within 10 hours you and the entire regiment captured the entire Artillery battery.

Soon you get promoted to Guard Sergeant major (to fill the gaps in the ranks)
