         Ponies are a peaceful race and when the prospects of war threatens Equestria, Princess Celestia becomes desperate for help. A ancient spell goes awry and General Patton, the famous American World War II general, is pulled into the pony world. Involuntarily the crew of a Sherman is dragged along as well. Will the assistance of the humans be enough to save Equestria or will their enemies be too much for even Old Blood and Guts to handle?

    Some of you may be thinking. "Not another HiE! Dislike button powers activate!" I couldn't resist! It's Patton in Equestria, and a few people I know really wanted me to make it. After this story (or during it) I will start on something else. Perhaps I will start on Ruby Eyes and Echoes Part 2. :twilightsmile:

    Oh, and this does not count as a "first". Author comments never count. So have fun with that.

    So you've found your way to Equestria.  What's the first thing you say to the ponies?

    “Fuck this tank!”

    They're going to run out of ammo and fuel before long, and then the tank is completely useless. Soon after that, they run out of bullets. Then they're no better than any other pony, except they have more fighting experience.

    Also, I'm holding off on rating until I know if it's historically accurate, as far as the actions of Patton, his crew, and how the tank is operated are concerned.

    Then, maybe I'll read it. Still, skeptical.

    If the Tiger II is there along with them and still hostile, they are pretty well doomed. The Tiger II outclasses any tank of the era fielded by anyone save for the IS/JS series of tanks (maybe). That 88 will hole them from front to back and their 76mm gun, despite being a major improvement from the 75mm in armor penetrative capabilities, doesn't have a hope in hell of penetrating any of the Tiger II's armor save for the back turret and the back of the hull itself.

    As you can see I'm a rather large tank enthusiast and I will follow your story closely ^^

    Very true, hopefully there's a large detachment of Russian tanks so the two can team up :twilightsheepish: Patton did, afterall, at the end of the war become very fond of the German people.

    Okay I just spotted a few historical errors. The first is that unless this is a M4A3E8 the gun would be 75mm not 76 and yes there is a big difference.

    Second the only unit on the western front equipped with Tiger IIs before the Battle of the Bulge was the 1st Company of the 503rd Heavy Tank Battalion and their area of operation was near the French town of Caen. (Which was a British combat sector.) Where most of their Tiger II's were wiped out during Operation Goodwood, in Early July 1944. So the odds of Patton running into a Tiger II are remote at best and non existent at worst. In my opinion you would be better using a Tiger I instead of the Tiger II.  

    Other than that the stories good so far. Gonna see where she goes.

    I'm glad the Sherman's dinky pea-shooter wasn't able to penetrate the Tiger. I would have had to yell at you if they got a penetrating hit from any direction other than a close range straight shot on the rear. Onto the next chapter!

    >>509984 Okay cool, if the tank is an E8 than this must be after the allies broke out of the Normandy hedge rows, if I had to guess as to the time I would put it around either late August or early September 1944. This is just a guess, of course. Only you would know for sure!

    And if that Sherman's fuel is almost gone. Then the Tigers been dry for sometime. :ajsmug:
