[center][b]Age of Imperialism 2.0: TURN 1 | Winter 1920[/b] ([i]December[/i]) (Turn 3, Part 3 of 3)[/center]

[b]December 1st[/b]: The winter turns dreadfully cold. A long summer dripped into fall, which hesitates on the cusp of winter. When it hit, it was dreadful. Sweeping from Soroyan and Neeland all the way to the Tezzi Strait, where the ongoing [b]Po-Chaegonian War[/b] was continuing in the Taranian Highlands. With the snow falling, Prime Minister Bradel of [b][color=yellow]Korenia[/color][/b] announced the modernization of the [b]Korenian Army[/b], and the formation of a hyper loyal paramilitary division named [b][i]Bradel[/i] Infantry Division[/b]. These fanatical loyalists numbered 12,000. Their announcement parade was spectacular, but few onlookers were excited.

Two of them are faulty, their motors giving out on the thousand kilometer overland journey. A third is damaged while traversing rural terrain in Kelric and abandoned in a field. Twenty-seven of the thirty tanks arrive in Liren in the fifth. [i]With no training whatsoever[/i], Chaegonian soldiers are ordered to the front with the tanks.

[b]December 7th[/b]: Two Chaegonian Jentinks run into a ditch, and without the equipment to get them out, must be abandoned there. The crews hitch a ride on other Jentinks toward the front. Halfway to the Izzi Line, they meet 40,000 unarmed Chaegonian soldiers headed back north due to the lack of rifles at the front.
