kinda odd to request foreign guards to secure ones countries military secrets or weapons after what was clearly industrial spying. I mean ho would prank by capturing sou specific stuff. If i would one from command i would be very sceptical, after weather teams creates a storm in "accident" and same day some one breaks in one of the hangars and steals blueprints and weapons.
how do I send a character? do I just send a private message?
Looks like the griffins will soon have their own air Force.

Indeed you do message me
Forgot to mention that...
From my time in the USAF as a weapons mechanic for F-16s, you did not so much as even look or breathe on a jet if you didn't have your documentation for it within arm's reach at all times, otherwise it was your ass in a sling when QA got a hold of you. I was cringing so hard during that entire paragraph Emily was telling Burnard that he and his team didn't need them. This is certainly a clear indication (among a lot of other things throughout the story) that the vast majority of the players in this 'paintball tournament' have never actually been in their respective country's militaries, but instead they're just using it to play out their military fantasies.
Also, we still. Do. Not. Know! What kind of paintball tournament gathers this many international teams of such size and financially deep pockets as to support all of the people's income, resources needed, and hardware we've seen or have had mentioned in this story (twenty eight bombers? Holy hell, the fuel costs alone...). All for the reward of, if I'm remembering correctly, only half a mil USD? How are any of these teams not operating at a loss if this tourney is only offering that? We don't even know if this is an early season qualifying tourney, or the grand championships.
I like this story, but the underlying concepts of the world building for it defy logic. Having worked both out on the flightline and the commander's support staff side of the squadrons I've been a part of, the numbers and logistics don't add up for me, and it's driving me bonkers. I'm not trashing the story, mind you, it's just something that I notice every time I happen to come across military fantasy fiction.
Over all this story is a fun read.
Some things I think are more of deus Ex kind of development but with how it normally would turn out there would be no story at all.
But what of the hybrids? The Humans with wings and horns?
Who are the shadows, and why is no one more worried for the loos of weapons and schematics of armored and armed vehicles? This could spark disaster in the hands of the wrong people?!?!

Even the answer if Shining Armor is plotting something behind the princesses back?
Referring to my first comment ^^.

If anything, the only thing shining is doing behind the princesses backs is trying to learn more about the new civilization sleeping on their countries couch.

But he looks more like someone who wants to force a conflict with them.
For me to believe otherwise he would need better excuses for his incompetence then what he gave in chapter 25
Everything he said can be disputed and called BS after just thinking about his and his guards behavior for more then two minutes.
And if it really was only his incompetence and no malicious intention that made him act this stupid, incompetent and and utter idiotic, then the princesses are also suspicious for keeping someone so unfit for leading in a position of power and in a post where he will have to work with people who were attacked by someone else from his own troops who was equal unfit for leadership like him.
This is the only part in the story that really rubs me the wrong way XD.

Equestria has seen nothing but peace for thousands of years. Military training and procedure has grown outdated at best under Celestias rule.
Shinings Derp outs keep occuring because he keeps trying to force his perception of humans into a stereotype mold hes familiar with. Instead of looking at them as a different new species, hes trying to get a baisic understanding by compairing them with races hes familiar with...
I think hes changing his tune though. I mean. After so many swift kicks below ones belt of dignity they reapproach the situation from a new angle...right?

Being stupid has nothing to do with the humans.
Not using pegasus to give his orders to the end of the convoy is either so stupid he should get his rank revoked and be demoted to foot soldier or he wanted to force the conflict.
I am a civilian and can see that his "forced marsh" wasn't so that they could find a place to settle.
There is a limit to what I can accept as the result of "long periods of peace " and what Shining Armor did is way to much for me to believe.
G R E A T ! We got fucking griffins with plane schematics and .50 cals. How can things going any further down hill?
