So, I was looking through the internet for a game that I remember playing a long time ago, back when Impulse was Stardock's child, not GameStop's. Then, after some serious digging, the name was found: Elements of War. The premise is surprisingly simple: you play as an American officer just as... -
GATE: and so the Iron Pact Fought (a GATE: and thus the JSDF Fought fic)
... which is a song pack I don't have for HoI 4, surprisingly enough (stopped playing HoI 4 when it went whole hog on the DLC train and kept slowing down to a crawl). The great thing about using the The Janus Campaign style 'prototype to actual chapter' posting is that you can ask people what...- Words: 63

GATE: and so the Iron Pact Fought (a GATE: and thus the JSDF Fought fic)
Now, for the next snippet, I'm introducing the (Iron Pact) Poles that would be the tip of the spear for the Siege of Italica... but it's taken from the viewpoint of Giselle. In one part of the scene, the Poles start singing in a tavern. I've narrowed it down to two right now (although...- Words: 100

GATE: and so the Iron Pact Fought (a GATE: and thus the JSDF Fought fic)
This is a prime example of how bad (aka overexaggerated in this example) propaganda screws you over. British propaganda of the Germans was so over the top that it caused a sort of 'why we're even fighting the enemy' effect with the troops and stained anything bad afterward. People forget that...- Words: 120

GATE: and so the Iron Pact Fought (a GATE: and thus the JSDF Fought fic)
It's kind of both. People forget that the best type of propaganda is just an exaggeration that isn't overboard instead of something made up wholesale or far out of proportion (for example, a lot of the propaganda that Britain and France did against Germany was so ludicrous that it kept the...- Words: 390

GATE: and so the Iron Pact Fought (a GATE: and thus the JSDF Fought fic)
If it weren't for the fact that the author is, frankly, an ultranationalist idiot, Zorzal would likely be a combination of Caligula, Nero (fun fact: Nero came out the way he did because of his mother, Agrippina), and Mark Anthony. Like in canon, Zorzal is running around with a portion of the...- Words: 170

GATE: and so the Iron Pact Fought (a GATE: and thus the JSDF Fought fic)
As I said before, I'm using how the fanfic The Janus Campaign does things. Basically, I post prototypes of chapter segments to gauge reactions and discover any missed spelling and grammar problems. After compiling the chapter segments, I post the entire chapter with a threadmark. Threadmarks are...- Words: 140

GATE: and so the Iron Pact Fought (a GATE: and thus the JSDF Fought fic)
So, sorry about this, but between real-life events and hopping between two sections, this is what got prototyped. Now, one of the things that keeps bugging people who read/watch the series is why didn't the Warrior Bunnies didn't go into guerrilla warfare mode. Well, a close-to-canon reason is...- Words: 1.3k

GATE: and so the Iron Pact Fought (a GATE: and thus the JSDF Fought fic)
Well, elements of splitting up do happen here, too; it's just that they're meeting up with the Speculatore (Roman military spies) instead of splitting up to cover more ground. You wouldn't believe how much of my real-life frustrations and anxiety pushed this snippet over the finish line. I was...- Words: 63

Now, this next snippet centers around Pina, with Hamilton gone to meet with a Speculatore*, trying to make sense of the situation surrounding Italica as she and the Rose Order are forced to play wack-a-mole against bandits instead of gathering intelligence on the Men in Green. * Speculatore are...- Words: 1.5k
