Bodi Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 The astonishing military success of Olean invading force in King's Port was followed by an equally astonishing retreat. There were quite a few people who were shocked by the sight of the victorious Bluecoats evacuating embarassingly a city they just conquered. Among them, we may cite the example of the Terraversans collaborateurs, those men and women joined the ranks of the occupying force to restore the monarchy, to accomplish personal ambition, or simply to bring some food on their table. Hundreds of these collaborators provided assistance to OL, they called themselves "defenders of order", but the locals just called them "collabos". When they knew the departure of Oleans was inevitable, they rushed to the pier, fearing the reprisal from their own countrymen. Sadly for them, the order was formal, only Oleans can leave. So despite their indignation, imploration, they were refused access by the rear guards. And the browncoats were already there. Some of them decided to find another way of escape. The luckiest ones even managed to climb aboard of one of the troop carriers, only to find a menacing muzzle on their faces. Nevertheless, a few of them finally landed on OL soil. Now, with the Lotii on their door, the Crown once again call these men to service, only a few answered, unsurprisingly. Another company for the Crown! Quote

NOD Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 Very well portrayed incident on the pier. Well shown how some try to get on the ship. I like the stern of the ship, is there a link where I can see the whole ship? The way people are treated I wouldn't be surprised if some become pirates. Maybe they'll find a new home at the Sea Rats?

Jeff of Clubs Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 Excellent moc. Takes a unblinking look at the people whose lives these wars have completely ruined. I'm surprised we found a company's worth of them. Slow learners? Quote
Thomas Waagenaar Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 Woah, heartbreaking story to be honest. Especially when you compare it to real life events where things like this have happened quite often! I hope the people in King Port will make their way safely to other Oleonese cities on the island!

blackdeathgr Posted February 24, 2022 Posted February 24, 2022 Maybe our gracious king wants to send a frigate to ferry those people and their pets to safety? Quote
Khorne Posted February 24, 2022 Posted February 24, 2022 Interesting build and story. It's an aspect of war and its consequences that is often forgotten. A bit dark perhaps, but sometimes that is needed. The movement of the figures is excellent and conveys the chaos well. Plus, that ship is a thing of beauty! Quote

Here's the link to the ship. Maybe some of them are already en route to your rats' lair. On 2/23/2022 at 11:24 PM, Jeff of Clubs said: Excellent moc.

Or they were reproaching their own people for not welcoming them with open arms, instead of those who abondoned them as old rags.

Sad coincidence indeed. 7 hours ago, blackdeathgr said: Maybe our gracious king wants to send a frigate to ferry those people and their pets to safety? If we want to have another diplomatic drama, yes, we should. We need to do this discretly. Quote

Sadly true, those who don't want war have to bear the consequnce of it and those who want war make profits out of it. Quote
