1002. Following a successful attack against Canterlot, the sudden changeling invasion strikes hard. Although the Element Bearers and the Princesses managed to escape, the tide of insectile horses ravages Northern Equestria.

In response, the nations of the world, including the Avalon Republic (a human nation), declare war on the Changeling Empire, and muster troops. Across the southern stretches of Equestria, changelings battle an alliance of ponies, humans, griffons, hippogriffs, zebras, and Saddle Arabians. Millions clash in trench warfare that extends from the San Palomino Desert to the Hayseed Swamps. The prize; a continent's enslavement or it's freedom. But which side is more willing to make the final sacrifice?

Will have references and uses of weapons in Battlefield 1. Is partially inspired by the Great Martian War of 1913-1917, a fictional but serious documentary. Story is written as a historical narrative, with some third person points of view at some points.

can't wait for humans to get to thick of it

this seems a lot like the equestria at war mod

Except the war starts a whole lot sooner, humans exist, and the maps are different.

Regardless, I shall be keeping an eye on this.

More like World War I, whereas EAW is a mod of a WWII game with technology (like advanced tanks and airplanes) to match. But I did have thoughts of EAW while I was writing this story.

>Ponies with tanks

Nope

>Ponies with cars and the like

? Might I ask where you got that idea?

Okay.

No cars for the ponies. The tank in the picture is just an icon for WWI, and I probably should have gotten another, but this was probably the one I thought would illustrate the story best, and I will probably change it. Of course, tanks from the First World War will appear, but as seen in the show, they don't seem to need modern transportation. They either pull or carry everything they need. I didn't even think of ponies driving cars while writing this, or of cars being introduced. Like I said, they don't seem to need or want them, even though they have motorized vehicles (they have driveable floats and carts, and in at least one episode I think Cheese Sandwich was driving a tank) and could put them to everyday use.

Plus, early tanks of this era were more like dreadnoughts on land (hence the term, "landships") rather than the speed demons we think of today. A man could easily outpace one, and anyway Equestria seems fine without cars. They make do with trains, airships, and their own hooves. I see no reason to change that in this story.

While backdoor deals were made to the far south, the war continued at full speed. Of the 200,000 men who had come up by the southern railroad to shore up the line, half were assigned to the coming offensive against the Badlands. They gathered in the Macintosh Hills and the northwestern piece of the Forbidden Jungle, preparing for the assault to come.

Their movements were detected by Chrysalis, who decided that, rather than waste her warriors, to withdraw them. However, once again her messenger was too slow; the Allies, mainly the human forces of the Avalon Republic, began their offensive on July 2nd, 1002.

That part combined with the soundtrack you put makes it an epic BF 1 operation intro!<3

Thank you! :pinkiehappy: I love that theme, so I'll be using it a lot

I imagined this theme during the writing (along with the female British narrator for BF1 Operations voicing the story).

i think consul should have made harder deal with equestrians because he holds all the cards he could ask practically anything. At least have them pay war reparations afterwards because making guns and ammo then giving them free would be too costly. And maybe they should not give their best weapons, give them some outdated weapons compared to avelonian ones.

You know what? You're right about the whole giving them away for free bit. I'll change that. Thanks for the heads up :twilightsmile:

9082707
well my country (finland) history is full of these kinda deals for example before that crimean crisis we bought 100 used Leopard 2a7 tanks pretty cheaply from Belgium and when crimean war happened tanks prices sky rocketed.

So now it's basically:
Changelings
VS
Equestria
Avalon
Saddle Arabia
Hippogriffs
Griffonstone
Yakyakistan
And zebirca (materially)

Well.... This reminds me of the 2nd balkan war (Bulgaria getting gangbangged)

Fixed it up a bit toward the end of the discussion (and chapter, just before the tea arrives).

Also, thanks for the little history lesson :twilightsmile:


9083016

Nice to see someone else interested in history. :pinkiehappy:

And... yes... but in this case the "Bulgarians" still outnumber their opponents by two to one at this point, with more on the way, while they're still systematically transforming the country they control.

Also, the neutral powers aren't going to stay that way... including ones that weren't revealed by this time in the original timeline.

I have a feeling there will be a depth charge...

While this story is very nice indeed, I must sadly remove it from the 'Equestria at War' group, since the group restricts itself to stories set only in the Equestria at War universe (and not just nations that are at war).

My apologies. Pony on! :twilightsmile:

9141553
It's okay. I didn't put it there, fyi.

God bless! :rainbowdetermined2:

Still waiting for chemical warfare and flamethrower scene

I imagine Pony indy Niedell making a show about this on ponyyoutube

Great chapter! Let's hope the rest are to. Xd

This story is very AWESOME!!! :pinkiehappy:
GO ALLIED SPECIES!!! XD

Trains are modern transportation. Trucks, airplanes and freighters get the headlines but trains are the bread and butter of modern transportation.

As for the story, I’ve had this on my list for months but I can’t bring myself to read it. There’s just something about the premise and summary that tells me this story won’t go anywhere.

I'm pretty sure that the consul had been using masculine forms of adjectives and nouns throughout that conversation with Celestia.

Intense awesome chapter. Xd
DOWN WITH THE CHANGELING EMPIRE!!! :flutterrage:

9686651
That is awsome to hear! I pretty much already accepted that this story is dead but now I'm so happy that it's not!

9710420

Sorry its taking so long. I've been working on it, I'm just trying to get it right.

glad this story come back to life love it so far it reminded me of the runner in the battlefield 1 storyline and operation beach party cant wait for the next chapter :pinkiehappy:

So awesome to see this still going! :pinkiehappy:

Any chance at continuing or updating this?

Also, what does the Avalon flag look like?
