They always say that "War Never Changes", but I can assure you, dear reader, that war is a constantly changing beast. This beast has a million faces, with a million backgrounds, with a million weapons. As time goes on, War changes to fit its' growing needs. One day, War might need to slaughter a whole defensive line to satisfy a ravenous hunger. The next day, War might rain artillery shells on innocent civilians, boosting the body count to the millions, and so on and so forth.
But in the beginning, War was just a small beast. It had no tactics. It had no experience. It did not know the taste of blood. Hell, it didn't even know its' own name yet. This was also the case of the ponies of Equestria. At one point in their ancient history, the use of the word 'War' was a common thing as tribes fought and skirmished against each other in an attempt to establish themselves. But, in the time of Celestia's rule without Luna, War was all but a forgotten word. Oh sure, you could look it up in the dictionary and find it with no issue, but there was no need for the words' use under Celestia's care.
It wasn't until that issues started to arise with the Zebra Kaiser that the word War started to become relevant again. Rumors started circulating about Zebra forces amassing in their harbors, troops being trained in large numbers in various camps, and the movement of armor and tech along their trade routes became more obvious.
Then, the world changed. War had emerged and began its' terrible rampage. This rampage quickly began to claim lives of the innocent and the combatants thrown into the meat grinder. The body count all across the land quickly reached the thousands within three years as the two nations clashed.
This was never more relevant than in the frozen, industrial city of Stalliongrad.
For when war broke out, Stalliongrad was the first of many priority targets for the Zebras. Eliminate the war factories, and you eliminate your enemy's reliance on machinery to help them fight their battles. This logic was sound and believable to the Kaiser's Generals at the time.
But what the Zebras were not counting on, was the fighting spirit of the residents of Stalliongrad. For too long, the ponies who lived in the frozen North have gotten used to being beaten and battered by the furious environment surrounding them. They worked hard to establish a presence in the inhabitable north, and nothing was about to take their hard work away.
Nothing, except the balefire and burning radiation that rained from the skies.
