It was supposed to be a routine goodwill trip to Saddle Arabia, but now the ponies of Bronco Company have found themselves framed for burning a town to the ground, and a full blown war isn't far behind...
Off hand, I very much enjoy the deep set, nitty gritty, in depth descriptions of Bronco Company, the characters, and their current campaign. The writing is flawless and the fluidity that goes in it for the scene descriptions is defiantly well done. The military structure is also well done as has the feel of being something that could very well exist, giving it a very good sense of realism. Already I can tell I'm going to like our main characters. Captain Corsair (great name btw) seems like a very competent CO with a good head on her shoulders, who already seems to have reputation of leading a crack "fire breathing" outfit. Couple that with a sound XO, a wisened 1stSgt, and a well oiled, well disciplined command, then their enemies should be quaking in their horseshoes! Honestly, it gives me a lot of "Band of Brothers" vibes, with Corporal Cravat very much reminding me of Eugene Roe. And I can't wait to be introduced to the rest of the company.
The initial showing of their fight against the Diamond Dogs was also very well done, even if it was just a short intro piece. And I like how you've incorporated the bumbling of politics that interfere in the operation of the military forces. With unclear, odd orders coming from above that make no sense yet must be carried out. Captain Corsair's reaction and tirade were very enjoyable to watch. Plus, it seems that the Equestrians have a Tennyson of their own. Perhaps "Lord Ponnyson".
And now they are about to venture out into the unknown...
Wow, what a start!
