1270 AD SPECIAL VICTORY EDITION

SPECIAL WESTERN FRONT REPORT
Stormchickens break through Lego naval blockade!
Transport commander awarded the Iron Tequila by GoW.


QUANTO MECHANICO - In what will be forever remembered as one of the most daring, clever and lucky military operations in history, Stormian transports led a valiant suicide charge against various crippled Lego battleships, sinking them and paving the way for the rest of the fleet to land at Quanto Mechanico which had been left undefended by the Lego Army. "I never thought we'd make it" said Commander Watergrog of the Transport fleet, "Our artillery surprised the dreadnoughts and damaged them heavily, but their 15-inch guns just blew some of our ships out of the water. Fortunately enough of us managed to creep in close and sink the massive ships with the collissions. With their ships gone, the harbor was open for our landing".

In recognition of such valor, the Emperor of GoW, Master Zen has awarded Commander Watergrog and the Stormian high command the elusive Iron Tequila award. Former GoW Emperor Aggie explained what the award entailed: "The Iron Tequila award is not a decoration we give out often, in fact, it calls not just for acts of bravery above and beyond the call of duty, it calls for acts of utter stupidity which no sane person would ever conceivably do which means the bearer was surely in a profound drunken state. No sober person would ever have thought that he could take on those battleships with just troop transports."

The Glory of News managed to get ahold of Commander Watergrog after the awards was given to him in a hospital bed where he is recuperating from wounds suffered during the attack. "Wow, I am so honored, the truth is I was absolutlely WASTED on that crap, ever since we allied with GoW they've been sending case after case of wine and tequila, we were kinda depressed that Lego had been one step ahead of us along the way, so we stole some cases and got so drunk we coudn't even feel our legs! And that's when I suddenly felt our transports were these huge dreadnoughts which could just tear the enemy to pieces!" Fortunately, bombs and torpedoes stored inside the ships detonated as the transports crashed into the battleships, sinking them with many casualties.

The Iron Tequila award is awarded to members of the GoW or allied armed forces for "acts of valor and stupidity above and beyond the call of duty and sobriety". It is also awarded with various ranks, the Iron Tequila with Salt, the Iron Tequila with Salt and Lemon and the highest award: The Iron Tequila with Salt, Lemon and Worm.

SPECIAL EASTERN FRONT REPORT
Triumph and Tragedy at Fort Stanwix!
Almost half a million fall in battle.

FORT STANWIX - For a moment it looked like the Battle of Fort Stanwix would result in GoW's greatest defeat in military history with casualties in excess of the entire Bobian war. But a surprise flank attack by Stormian tanks followed by a tremendous artillery barrage culminated in a dramtic battle as GoW Marines fought the renmants of the cities defenders and almost half of Lego's armored units street by street, house by house. "It is hell on Earth" remarked Cpl. Punishment, GoW Marine of the Trafalgar Regiment. "We have been without sleep for the past 3 days, artillery shrieks pierce the sky as shells fly in every direction and more importantly there are no decent toilet paper supplies, my ass is red from having to clean up with Lego manuals".

Casualties have ravaged both sides. Pvt. Parts, GoW Marine from the Neptune Regiment gave us an account of the horror. "Only half my regiment remains from the day we landed here, we've suffered from Lego tank attacks, artillery barrages and now a desperate defense by various Infantry divisions. My best friend, Private Screening, got killed when a house was rigged with hundreds of lego blocks on the floor. He slipped and fell and died, those dirty bastards NEVER clean up after they play!"

But these were not the only horrors to have struck GoW soldiers. Cpl. Flogging witnessed the grueling fury of a Lego defense. We were assaulting an entire block of houses which was occupped by the battered remnants of the enemy 26th Tank division. My marine squad and me charged into the houses with grenades, but from behind the buildings the remaining tanks demolished the houses and everything collapsed on us. Those were not regular block though, those were DUPLO blocks, over four times as big and heavy! We thought the Monterrey Convention outlawed Duplo blocks and our helments were only made to protect us against regular blocks. This is a war crime if there ever was any".

Fort Stanwix was finally captured after what analysts are calling the largest and bloodiest battle in history with almost as many dead as the entire Bobian War. Near the ruined battleground was built Port Sacrifice in honor of all the Warmonger, Legomen and Stormchickens which fell in the maelstrom.


------------------------------

84% of Legomen disapprove of GoW Occupation

IMPERIAL CITY - A survey was conducted almost immediately after much of Legoland was occupied by the advancing Warmonger Army regarding the sentiments of the local population over foreign occupation. "Many of these people had never seen a bearded lady before" said a GoW census-taker, "the objective of this study is to determine whether continous hostility to occupation would result in violence and the creation of resistance groups". In the capital, Legopolis, 84% people responded with "We hate those mother****ing warmonger back-stabbing gang-banging smelly barbarian pieces of Rider crap". 6% responded with "Well, we really don't care *hick* they brought with them this really great wine... *hick* ... " and finally, 10% responded with "Oh great! They're here to liberate us from those evil Stormians!".

Polls in Panama, Kloreepville, Zargonia, Port Hammer and Sharpehaven showed similar results. A further survey will be done after the 10% of deluded locals are informed that it's really an occupation and not a liberation.

------------------------------

Search for MrWIA continues as Riders head to the front again!

TRAFALGAR - One by one they left the barracks at Yellowknife, Killdaria and other cities. For some people watching the spectacle on the streets it was the first time they had ever seen them before: their shiny and sharp sabres, their beautifully groomed white horses and the menacing black armor which covered them. "It was just like the books we read at school!" said some GoW schoolchildern who watched with awe. These were the last remaining Rider Regiments still in active service, considered the elite of the Cavalry Corps though little use in modern combat was thought possible for them. "Their speed and ability to traverse terrain quicker than even tanks make them indespensable in the Lego campaign" said Colonel Mustard. "400 years ago they liberated our homeland from foreigners, today their services are needed once more for the Empire"

Among those who were sent to Legoland was the mythical Sir UnOrthOdOx Regiment, famous for its role in one of GoW's most beloved literary masterpieces "The Trappings of War". When one rider was asked what their mission on Legoland was he responded just like he would have centuries ago "To find MrWIA and kick his butt!"

[Hot_Enamel]

[Hot_Enamel]

Has there been any chatting with Lego ?

Now that they know their empire is destroyed, are they going to fight it out ? Or look for a sneaky exit. (eg like Vox/RP)

[UnOrthOdOx]

There's very few places left to seek refuge, though. I don't see that as a real option anymore. (course, I really didn't think it was for RP either)



Anywho...

What's the plan on invading GS?

[Hot_Enamel]

Yep - My concern is, that GS maybe talking to them.

GS could resettle Roleplay over there.
Bring Lego back.
Make friends with Vox.
etc etc etc ...



Anyway ...


ND's "invasion" will have to happen soon I think.
Otherwise fortress Stormia will be impossible to break through.

[Master Zen]

GS hasn't talked to Vox, they even asked US to do it...

I PMed Rhoth right after we took Stanwix where I told him that GoW would like to fill Lego's shoes in terms of techs/resources etc. obviously the idea is to get them on our side ASAP.

Btw, how does a UN victory sound? too cheesy? We can definitely get ND on our side because of the joint-victory declaration AND if we get Vox we won. We are just 5 turns away from Fission.

[Panzer32]

Good job guys

If we can pull a UN victory off that would be just fine with me!

[Ennet]

cheers great work MZ!!!
but to the UN.. (we are the Glory of War after all)

[Panzer32]

uh, btw, what is happening to the Lego continent?

[Master Zen]

we're gonna split it up, likely east-west. GS says that Roleplay wants a spot, ND might want another since each assisted the other indirectly. I guess the best thing is to split it east-west off the bat and then have each of us decide what to do with our sides with regards to our "partners in crime"

[Master Zen]

1275 AD thread now up, let's use that one instead.
