The Changeling war machine rolled over Equestria in a little over a year. The following three years saw brutal oppression of Equestria by said Changelings, but now the Manehattan Protectorate, covering the eastern coast of Equestria, has collapsed. Out of it the Ponies' Front for the Liberation of Equestria, or Equestrian Liberation Front (ELF) has risen, sending the Changelings reeling as they try to minimise the damage and prepare a counterstrike.
But the uprising left many soldiers of the Heer trapped behind enemy lines, and surrounded on all sides by unfriendly ponies. This is the tale of one such 'ling and his unit, and how he saved his own life and that of the others.

awesome story mate keep it up cant wait for the next story
This is a good interpretation of what can happen when the ponies turn things around. Always good to get a view on the ground after being suspended in strategic .mode staring at numbers all day. Nice job, can't wait for more.
Good story!
I enjoyed reading it.
Is that just a stand-alone or are you planning to add more later?
Like the war ending and he getting eventually home trying to rebuild the Changeling Lands under Thorax, or Ginx getting the pleasure of accepting Azure's surrender once the tides had turned again?

Thanks!
It's a one-shot. No sequel is planned atm.
Hopefully after the war, the mean, old changelings can go bugger off and leave Equestria alone while Ginx, Azure, and their mates go and have a pint together in a bar somewhere in Manehattan. Anyway, neat one-shot, friend.

Glad to hear it!
Finally caught it at the live reading, great fun!
Beautiful. Simply beautiful. First EAW story I’ve read, and now I’m gonna go read all your other stories, indeed all the stories I can reasonably absorb. My brain will be filled with nothing else for the coming months.
