4763273 What do you mean by wut? Please elaborate.

Only issue I see is the chapters are just so short. Beyond that I see no real issues even using German gear for Equestria and I am guessing Russian for the enemys gear. Which is kind of too bad, I always figured it would be hilarious to see Luna with a Thompson SMG. Here is hoping you update more often than once a quarter!

5361327 Yeah, don't know why but whenever I write a chapter it feels longer then it is, I'll try to finish the next one sooner and make it longer.

German gear and very British methodology of command and buying rank I am seeing. The fact you have tanks will keep this from devolving into trench warfare. I actually enjoy stories like this, keep it coming.

5367316 Appreciate your comment! Oh no... gotta write out all the trench war... wait is this still on? oh sh-

5367411 funny, real funny. Then again there was plenty of trench warfare in Leningrad and Stalingrad. Some of which got down right ridicuilus in its complexity. And tanks never did well in citys or built up areas. So have some trench warfare, its all good.

Grim taste of first combat. And I am not suprised she is having second thoughts. Most people would when they live a life of happyness and rainbows then see people turned to bloody hamburger.

Only real issue I have is where are they getting there tanks? If this is a civil war shouldn't they be using the same armor that the Equestrians are using and not all new designs? I can understand small arms and Katyushas as being both independant designs and relativly easy modification to a truck. But KV-1's and T-34's are pretty complicated things.

5483677 you know what, I never thought about that! Curse me for not seeing my own plot holes! But i'll solve that problem in an upcoming chapter, thanks for pointing that out!

5485368 If there numbers were limited or it was pointed out that some of the tanks were built in modified tractor factories (many a russian tank was) then its a way of getting around some of that plot hole. Or creating a savant who came up with or bulldogged russian style gear into production. Rifle production is easy, just say that russian style gear and german style gear were initially the same but with diffrent stylings and soon changed to diffrent styles due to logistic issues.

5485793 That's a good idea but I've got a better idea to how the tanks were brought in and how they got so many weapons and such equipment in a short time.

Very nice explanation of where the gear is coming from, and I am guessing that gear isn't used by the Zebra's?

5508076 Perhaps it is, perhaps it's not :raritywink:

Okay, I'm commenting on your story like you asked me to. Words of advice?

The most obvious error in the story is that you don't know when to make new paragraphs. When you change the subject, or the speaker, you make a new paragraph.
That means this:

“Have you tried contacting his squads in Trottingham and Trotronto? “ Celestia asked. “ Yes your highness, but they won’t respond either! Shall I gather a company of Guards to make sure the cities are OK?” Shining asked. “That will not be ness-” Celestia was saying as another guard bust into the throne room.

should be more like this:

“Have you tried contacting his squads in Trottingham and Trotronto? “ Celestia asked.
“ Yes your highness, but they won’t respond either! Shall I gather a company of Guards to make sure the cities are OK?” Shining asked.
“That will not be ness-” Celestia was saying as another guard bust into the throne room.

this is not the only problem with the writing, but the most obvious.

Just a tip~:ajsmug:

5593227 Appreciate it! I thought it looked alright but that shows what I know. I'll try to add that in the next chapter, it's giving me a hard time though. Can't seem to get what I want into words. I hope to get it up soon.

Sad to read this but what can you do? Send me a message when you have something new up!

5726801 I will, but as I said it could take awhile.
