Griffin fronts November 14th 1930 13:04 40 kilometres from Sombratic secondary base

Fresh snow fell to the ground, the wind blows gently as a T-35 rides through the snow. Close behind was the sound of grinding treads coming over the hill was an Steal tank the treads grinding the snow the barrel peeking out from horizon rolling over more. A box shaped tank rolling out leaving destruction behind the numbers on the side armour were written in fine white and black paint zero zero seven were written. Then a shell hits the front armour as sparks fly turning the gun and tank to the direction. From the shot a Griffin T-34 tanks rolls through the snow at such speed. “Target sighted” the gunner sound out as he turned the turret keeping up with the T-35 tank

“load AP” the grey earth pony with his cutie mark on his sleeve from his jacket was two shells crossing behind an iron cross then a tankers cap located in the center he called out the red unicorn his cutie mark was three different shells crossing each other he turned around placing his hand and grab the shell that was behind him placing it on the slot. as he pushed it in and closing the breach loader and locking it in place

“shell in”. Looking in the scope the pegasi his cutie mark was a scope and a field artillery turning gears and his hand on the trigger of the main gun he squeezed the trigger a force of such power and recoil shook the entire tank back melting the snow instantly and knocked them back to their seats

“shell out” the pegasi sound out. The t-34 stopped dead from the impact as the gun fired back.

“It’s still operational” the snow white earth pony called out turning the wheel to position the front armor of the tank. The T-34 fired round after round with such speed every shot bounce off or ricochet off like striking a unicorn his mark was a radio he call out

“sir command want us to return to camp” the unicorn called through his head set

“tell them we will be late” his teeth biting his lip giving out the closest threat

“jawohl Kommandant” the unicorn said calmly

“sir more T-34’s to the left of us!” the driver called trying to keep the front armour in front of them

“tinny stop the tank” he yelled out with the tank positioned in front

“Ja” he said stopping the armored beast facing its fifty millimeter plating

“load fire” he yelled out his teeth were sinking in his lip as blood draw out looking to the crew as they loaded the gun with speed and such accuracy “load fire” he yelled again the battle was fierce and as more and more tanks ran through the snow. The fall of white snow turns to black from the burning tanks. Others are disabled the sound of guns blazing the trees cut down form missed shells. Every impacted shell leaves dents and scratched paint as sparks fly. The crew loaded the shells and feeling the gun with every shot. Sweating from the heat radiating from the empty shells from tank to tank shell after shell. Shots after the other the tiger tank has took a brutal beating leaving just scratches and scars as it took steady aim and rate of fire to destroy the pest

“sir we’re on our last 19 shells” the red unicorn said in a calm voice growling under his breath and gave out an command

“make them count” an T-34 burst in flames and the crew stopped and the radio came on

“command was impatient so they sent us to get you it looks like you have a good excuse to for it” an another voice sound out in his head set

“yes we need to give the tank a rest” as he sat back in the seat as he wiped the sweat away

“why?” he said back confused

“it’s over heating” as he chuckled

“alright will give you time for that will chase this dogs back” the sound in his voice was confident as he drove off with the rest of the 23rd panzer division as I chuckled

“Ja” after letting the tank cool in the fresh snow command was transferring us and the last of the 1st tiger division to prance we sat on the tank’s frontal armour watching the sun set as Luna’s moon rose behind us the colors was a beautiful orange glow the snow blanket the trees and the steady snow fall as the T-34’s lie in ruin the snow covers the scene covering them in a White blanket my crew and I chariest this moment that we won’t be seeing it again…

A jvu58 transport flies to an open field the lights were flickering as paratroopers tie down the steel beast. The red flickering light turns to solid green the paratrooper pulled the switch anything that was lose was sucked out the rear doors as they open slowly. Pushing the tiger as it rolls out the back the chute opens up a gust of Wind picked up the chute slowly lowering the tiger down. It lands through the top roof of a barn the straps flies off during impact the bellowing black smoke rise through the vents crushing the doors open. Splintering wood scatters around. The top hatch opens an tall black and gold earth pony his eyes were a red color but a dark purple mist was flowing out he raised from the hatch the tiger stuck close the hedge prowling close with the gun looking over pulling the hatch close seeing the youngest crew member sleeping a against the shield loader not hearing a sound from him looking over to the gunner he was on his side sleeping I took my jacket off and placed it on top of him as I took to the hatch again the flowers placed in neat rows from red, yellow, white, blue and purple in strips further down the road was an apple farm a few apples fell on the tank rolling off I garbed a few of them I got out and crawled to the divers hatch I knocked and the hatch open. An earth pony with snow white fur looking in his eyes were emerald green lighting up with the night sky keeping watch on me and the road

“How far are we from the DZ” I asked him

“another hour sir and Nich is sleeping” his voice was strong yet not enough to disturb the sleeping men

“Ja mine fell asleep to” I said in a fathers tone

“they should stay up longer like us” he said as he sinks his teeth in a red apple

“yes but there still young though” as I looked around viewing the country

“Ja they are” he said back

“Will we be there-” he spoke before I could finish

“soon” he said as he too looked at the country

“good here I grabbed a few apples. Give one to Nich” i handed him the other two apples in my hand

“jawohl” rolling more through the still night sky. As I sink my teeth through the red apple. I can taste the juices seeping in on my taste buds and feel its soft inside sliding down my throat it’s been awhile since I and my crew had a good meal… too long. I can feel the wind blow gently agents my fur the soft cool touch and the trees sing with every gust looking to the east. Celestia’s sun peeks over the trees the light shines on my fur the warm feel gives me a good feeling looking to the north was the town I close the hatch and woke up Frisk and Relo when I looked in their eyes they were full of energy and spirit. The thirst for battle was easy to see in them both as they ready the gun and check their coms

“were there yet” I chuckled to myself when I rubbed Frisks head I was the oldest of the crew as we climbed the hill the hill and slowly stoppingon the top

I open the top hatch as tinny asked “Michel what are we doing here” as I poked up from the hatch and filled them in

“to stop the NLR and Solar from advancing any further more and test our new tiger's engine.” I pulled out my binoculars and look down the road Nich the radio operator call out to me.

“misty shadow division is on his way to help us on the attack” my ears twitched I heard faint sound’s it was heard down the road I looked at the convoy. My gunner yelped out

“kommander 2 lee panzers up ahead” both panzers shot their 75mm guns as I ducked shell after shell at a time the shells hit the front armour as striking a Mach letting sparks fly. But was no effect agents my steel beast. As the shots bounced off the armour as the gun turn slowly we took aim.

“Target sighted” Frisk yelled out

“FIRE NEW TARGET AND FIRE” I yelled out the sound of the gun had a strong blast as I lost balance and cutting the branches off the tree’s and fired again knocking me down as the shell hit the second target. The M4A3lee burst in to flames and blew up in seconds the turret blasted off and flew 15meaters high and grinned into the dirt I was amazed by the panzer to burst in flames that easily. Looking up I spotted a lunar armoured car I yelled out. “Armoured car at 1:30 load AP and fire” i said the gun fired hitting the armoured car by the rear side armour flipping it to its side. Coming out from the house were infantry

“sir volksgrenider are here” I looked displeased only low ranks I had no good use for them but on the other hand I let them tag along.

“Thank you Michael we will assist you on the defense” one of them came up to my tank

“where is the rest of your division” as I turned to the Dutch unicorn his eyes giving the same effect as my eyes the purple mist flowing in the wind

“In the town under heavy fire” he said pointing further down

Starting up the tank coming to a wall I called out “Tinny make your own door” the panzer drove through wall and repeated again. Until I spotting a Solar panzer hunter I yelled out “halt 17pdr AT gun” the panzer backed up in fear and Tinny started to drive backwards the gun fired as dirt fly from the recoil as the shell hit the building cutting a tree down. The Dutch unicorn looked over to me

“my men will take it out for you go ahead we will meet up with you”. I nodding my head and spoke out

“meet us at town square”. The grinding treads turned the tiger and drove to the other side of the building. Tiny was looking through his sights and spotting a panzer coming from behind the wall.

“Sir more panzers up a head” tinny said looking out from his view port

I was frustrated when seeing the tank I yelled out “well FIRE”

“yes sir” the gun fired at the Cromwell tank grinding to a halt was caught completely by surprised as. The sound smashed all the windows from the blast as the shell cut off the main 2pdr long gun making it a stubby gun taking it’s shot but the shell shift far left it was driving backwards we took aim and fired the 8.8cm gun as the shell cut it like butter bursting in flames I had a grin as the tank crew got out on fire screaming in pain I pulled out my luger and shot them as we drove by them I could not let them die in such away. Another light infantry support vehicle was spotted. Nich the radio operator spoke out

“Michael more volksgrenider up a head”. Frisk had the element of surprise aiming the gun

“Frisks take your time Relo load H.E. after we fire the first shell in there and fire”. The tiger fired hitting the Vickers in the tread with. he pulled out a red colored tip shell loading it in the unicorn spooked out

“gun loaded” he yelled out

“fire”. The shell whistled in the air the impact with the shell exploded with flying shrapnel knocking the Vickers to its side. The surrounding men caught in the blast flu into walls those that survived ran off with the wounded to the last defense. We fired the tigers MG 34 hull guns sprayed them with lead killing the remaining dogs as men emerge from the building were volks the pegasi coming out holding the wounded officer

“thanks for your help we saw four AA guns behind that building and the AT gun is their see it”. As he pointed to a building I was looking at the building there was a small opening seeing the long barreled 17pdr AT gun looking at it my eyes were in joy

“gunner 4 O’clock load AP 10 cm to the left and FIRE” the force of the gun smashed all the windows from the shock wave as the shell spins out from the barrel crushing the wall and tearing the building open and destroying the second wall with a devastating force. Cutting the AT gun in half and a kill an infantry as shell picked him off the ground and smashed him through the wall. I was in excitement and I was pleased that the AT gun is gone I looked over to the pegasi

“meet in the town square” i said twords the infantry's

“jawohl” they all said in unison

Driving further in to the town we meet head on with the division spearheading the tank division as we blasted the medium tanks as they lie. Engulfed in fire and AA guns fired hitting the front amour shells bouncing off and ricocheting. I felt the tank stopped and started to turn around and drove back I felt my com and asked Tiny.

“What are you doing tiny” the earth pony answered my question

“we reached our limit we have to go back we only have enough fuel to get us back to the nearest supply depot.” he said shifting gears

“Alright get us out” on the way out to town square I felt the tigers engine give off and Tiny noticed something as the tank started to slow down

“what’s wrong?” i said worried

“nothing it must be the tiger’s engine” slowly dying out into a shutting down. I look behind me and spotted a Sherman firefly he had an easy kill as soon as he fired the shell hit the building in front of us Relo the unicorn yelled out.

“He missed us” shocked at the shot

“well FIRE BACK” i yelled the turret turning as fast as it can

“I’ll fix the engine” tinny yelled out

“load AP” i yelled out

“shell in”

“FIRE” i yelled out felling the recoil "HA that was A good shot frisk” when we left a burning hole on the turret more tanks had appeared out from the hedge

“panzer 12 O’clock” i yelled out the turret moving again

“shell in” we never loaded with speed and we shot at anything

“shell out” infantry came out from the rear with a P.I.A.T.  I looked behind me as one NLR infantry got on the tank’s rear armour I was caught by surprised with a blow to the head. He was holding me by the collar of my uniform I was struggling to keep him off my tank still holding me by the uniform fist after fist. The Pegasi head butted my head I lose my balance as I grabbing him by his wing pulling myself up and him down I punched him square in the snout I threw one more blow to his chest knocking back as he gasped for air with sleight of hand I pulled his gun from his holster and pulled him back up but he grabbed the gun and I grabbed him by his neck and give one more he stumbled back as the tiger fired and I pulled the trigger with that he fell back to ground rolling off my tank I found his tags next to me I threw them landing near the lifeless body. Looking to my left

“FIREFLY 4 o’clock” turning the turret as fast as they can and fired. The shell hit the front armour to leave ricocheting off it fired back the shell ricochets of the front of our vehicle.

“Load” the Sherman’s main gun blasted the barrel open and the firefly and blue sky high

“what happened?” frisk called out

“the shell must of bounced off to the main gun and dent it" The tanks started to drive backwards as the tiger fired destroying the remains

“their pulling out Michael” the earth pony smiling in joy

“yes from suffering from the loss of tanks they had to pull back to regroup” but a panzer mark IV pulled out from the woods the earth pony looking at the sun slowly setting down on. The battle field as tanks burn down with the setting

“Kommandant” hearing at the radio operator

“tell command for ne-” caught off from the youngest crew member

“they what us to regroup” tiny how’s it coming.

Crrrrrr “come on soon”

“any time” i said out though my set

rrrrrr “Give papa some love” with that the tiger came back to life “got it HA HA”

“I guess we fight another day get us out of here Tiny Frisk kill count” “21 tanks 12 light armoured and 3 AT guns sir”. “Ha lest see any one can top that”

On the way out an anti-infantry mine blasted as we rolled over it was not a good blow for the tank but destroyed the tiger’s treads frisk was startled by the blast “What was that?” the snow white pony yelled out

“The treads are gone” when he looked back to the road he spotting some movement through his scope

“Solar infantry” tinny yelled out

I was in a confused state “stragglers?”

“Ja” as he confirmed the threat

“FIRE THE 34s” i yelled out

“we got to get out of here” as frisk yelled

“75mm AT gun” as Nich yelled out when we felt the shell hit the front armour firing at the tank

“NO WE STAY AND FIGHT LOAD HE” I yelled out but felt the shell hit again but much louder

“deploy smoke” as Relo yelled out

“ABANDON TANK” I yelled out as the forth shell hit my view port. Opening the hatch getting out from the tank hidden from the smoke running to cover frisk took an mg 42 from the left of the hatch.

“Come on Frisk” I yelled

“jawohl” he yelled out carrying the 11.57 kg gun

"get to town square now" running through twon with my Luger in hand

“Ja” I looked behind us as solar are close behind us we setting up and started to fire my Luger

“sir it’s the volks” as Relo yelled firing his P38 pistol

“we will cover you”. We were caught in the crossfire I took cover in the fountain in the middle and my crew fowled Relo got shot in the leg. Frisk fired his mg42. As I scrambled to him I picked him off the ground and ran I have never felt such surge through me as bullets fly past me. I got behind the fountain putting him down as Nich patched him up. Frisk cut their numbers down as the bullets fly I heard a faint sound in the air I looked up. I heard it more clearly a screeching in the air I knew what they were stuka’s I was hoping not to get blown to smithereens and close behind them were BF129 I was smiling and gave orders.

"hold till reinforcements arrive" the stuka dive bomber drop its load bombs fell. I pulled Frisk down the blast felt like a small earthquake the crashing house’s around the NLR’s and Solar infantry crumbled down “sir its shadow air force were saved. A jur590 transport fly’s over. The sky filled the air with men. Falling from the transports to support the lost as the

Fallschirmjäger elite infantry landed. Supplies landed all over the place as I looked to the sky one was a grey earth pony his golden orbs was wolf he had the same misty purple in his left eye and a heavy strong built body and taller than me. Walking over as I saluted to the one great ace pilot in the Empire was O'Donnell himself I was glad that I can trust. His crew two pegasi flu right behind him as fighters fly above us and take control but the New Lunar Republic countered with Zeppelins just peering over the sunset of the town and the bridge. As the zeppelin come in low the Luftwaffe did their attack run the sight of bright clouds and then darkened to the night sky the Luftwaffe was here
