Previous ChapterNext ChapterWars:
Foxy Wars-
The Whole War- When 'the Troubles' hit the Sprawl, Zebrica was severely weakened and could face a failed state without food and poor morale. Ziro and other commanders, including General Razak though indifferently because there was no other option, pressure the Empress to allow annexing Camelu to increase food supply. She decides to give in and the annexation begins. Initially, there is no resistance by the rather peaceful trading country of Camelu, but when Zebrican forces raid farms and warehouses for food and riches, the Camelu forces decide to fight back but are crushed by Zebrican tactics and armor. The Camels decide to send their riches to neighboring Cervidas by ship as well as resistance leaders. Unsatisfied by the lack of resources and that most of the riches fled to Cervidas, the Military suggest taking Cervid to not only take back the Camel riches and resistance leaders, but also to gain control of the Cervid rich soil lands perfect for agriculture. The Mane Six are sent to Cervidas to help the country.
Redheart Brigade- Nurse Redheart with Fluttershy's consent, forms the Redheart Brigade. A brigade of pony doctors and nurses to be sent to Cervidas .
Appleseed Brigade- When news of the Mane Six going to Cervidas to help the country, ponies especially from the Midwest (Appleloosa)
Future Officers- Some of the ponies serving in the Whole War will become leading figures in the equestrian military. The war is the first war to be fought with new technology by the Equestrians, meaning those who survive will come back with experience from the war. Steadfast enthusiatically joins in the Appleseed Brigade, believing the journey will be an adventure. Instead, his friends will die and he will witness the horrors of war. Pryde, a rising officer in the Equestrian Military, will lead her ponies against the Zebricans, gaining experience
Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy- Both try to help the refugees and prepare the Deer Civillians to survive in the possible war. Fluttershy tends to the medical care and aid to refugees, training the deers
Applejack and Rainbow Dash- Both argue how the Deers should defend themselves. AJ suggests the Militia army of the Deers should fight the massively technologically superior Zebrican army through Irregular Warfare. Ambushes, hit and run, stretch the Zebrican forces out and hit supply lines, and etc. A war of attrition over a long period of time might force the Zebricans to leave.
Rainbow Dash believes that the deers should engage in irregular warfare, but perform more offensive strategies to maximize casualties and lightning strikes
Basically, the difference is AJ favors harassing the enemy, with little casualties over a long period of time. RD favors harassing the enemy more aggressively at any cost over a shorter period of time.
The Grand Patriotic War- After winning in the Foxy Wars, the Griffons saw how resilient and dangerous the Crimson army can be. A threat that had to be put out as soon as possible. Before the War for Equestria, the Griffons, supported by neighboring states launched a massive attack into Stalliongrad territory. At first, the ponies are pushed back and the city is on the verge of collapse, but then, weather arrives that prevents the airborne Griffons from attacking from above or flying. They cannot find food since smaller animals are hibernating and it is impossible to send food through the snow. With this, the Crimson army surround the Griffons held in the city and crush two entire armies by spring. A third of other army survives and retreats back to the Kingdom. This war is seen as a decisive victory by the Crimson army. The Griffon Kingdom loses 2/5ths of its army in Stalliongrad and schisms within the Griffon military starts forming, one defending the King and the other blaming the king and thinking he is unfit to rule. The War scars Stalliongrad, the city will require years of rebuilding. But for now, Stalliongrad was safe and was to not be bothered in the War for Equestria.
The Schisms- Griffons look at weakness with a sore thumb. This goes for the ruler as well. When the Griffons lose the Grand Patriotic War, a split between supporters and those losing faith in the King forms. Gild and Butcher Bird rise up against the king, causing a civil war. They kill the king and supporters flee to the Blizzard Bergs. Gilda lets Butcher Bird rule while Gilda commands the army. When the War for Equestria hits, the two join the Zebricans to defeat the Equestrians, who they see as being in a weaker position and therefore, they may restrengthen the weakened Griffon Kingdom. Condor, a griffon, leads the Supporters and wishes to reclaim the throne back.
War For Equestria:
Battle for Cloudsdale/the Skies: When the Griffons join the Zebricans, they decide to attack Cloudsdale, weakening the Air superiority the Pegasi have over the Zebricans. The Griffons are supported by Zebricans who use Sky Ships to land troops in Cloudsdale and fire at airborne Pegasi (also use mass teleportation spells). Cloudsdale is caught by surprise and the Wonderbolts and their garrison cannot hold off the armada. Rainbow Dash and her Pegasi Jumpers return to Cloudsdale to relieve the Pegasi garrison. Spike and Cadence are also there, and Spike happens to need to defend her. Condor and her followers also aid in fighting the Griffons, where Condor actually fights Butcher Bird. RD fights through swarms of Griffons and meets Gilda. RD tries reasoning with Gilda but Gilda attacks and RD gives up on talking, angry after Gilda claws her face. The two go at it before Gilda has RD by the throat. RD tells her that despite being a jerk, she still saw Gilda as a friend. This causes Gilda to stop choking Rainbow Dash. Just in time, the Veil Pegasi arrive and destroy the Zebrican/Griffon force, routing them. Condor and Butcher Bird's fight remains unresolved. Cadence prior to the attack, had just made a agreement with the Veil that would have the Veil come to Cloudsdale aid if attacked.
Liberation of Gryphus (after or before M-Day): Condor and Butcher Bird fight once and for all. Gilda despite orders to fight to the death with her men, disobeys her after losing faith in her because of the incident with Pinkie Pie and surrenders.
