[GBW] Troop Movement - Deland Republic - Deploying the Electronic Warfare

[Tezclatipoca]

The Deland Republic, Bricklandia continent, near the Tosulese border, Map Grid D4 : Deploying the Electronic Warfare

At the northern border of the Deland Republic, during end March and begining of April, when the last snows have difficulties to leave the lands to the Spring flowers, some lumberjacks were surprised to see convoys of heavy trucks with good escort :

Since Tosul try out of a ballistic missile, the Deland Republic government reaction was strong and at the same time fair.

The country ratified the Non Proliferation Act like announced at the Brick Of Nations siege and made a step forward to the Peace by getting closer to New Brickicka on the epinous problem of the Tosulese missile.

The Military High Command needed to follow the politics and so, it had been decided in high places in Edrin, the Capital, that the best way to answer to this Tosulese crisis was not to be aggressive but to build an effective defense.

To do so, the best "weapon" the Deland Republic has at disposal is its high tech Electronic Warfare. The 1st Regiment of Transmission and Electronic Warfare (TEW) had been sent to the border to deploy its specialised trucks.

Those vehicles can jam every AWACS systems; Airborne Guiding Radars AND Missile Guiding systems at a range of 160 miles (near 250Km) and are also capable of destroying low altitude satelite devices. With those systems at the border, no missile could pass to threaten the country.

Of course, such vehicles are quite fragile against a direct attack. So, the 7th Regiment of the Hercynian Hunters (HH), also known as the White Devils, have been sent to escort the 1st Regiment of TEW.

The Hercynian Hunters are Mountain and frost Specialists. They are capable of hiding for days in the snow for recon and guerilla missions. They are also equiped of the best mountainous materiel and their polyvalent assault vehicle (PAV) is almost unstoppable !

Those big Jeeps are literally stuffed by snow equipment and weapons. Plus ! They have a 45mm Anti tank canon which can be deployed at the roof top of the vehicle. This is making the HH regiments the most feared in mountainous assault.

The rumour is saying they are descendants of the old tribes who lived in the Hercynian Mountains along the actual border of the Deland Republic and New Brickika.

 

Here is my first side build for The Great Brick War ! I hope you'll like it !

It took me more time than I thought to build the Hercynian Polyvalent Assault Vehicle ! I started from a Russian Tigr M vehicle for this one and had to stick on its angular form. I am quite happy of the result even if I wanted it a little smaller, but the deploying canon took some precious place...

On the EW truck; I stayed on the Russian inspiration and simply try to render a Krasukha 2 EW truck of the actual Russian Forces. I think it is recognizable enough. Hope you'll like it like I enjoyed to build it !

Hi/Bonjour!

I like the story, the scene and the details. The radar truck looks very good and the Assault Vehicle, however I suggest widening it so more troops will fit inside. To improve its all terrain capabilities I would lower the wheel axles so the bottom of the vehicle will be higher over the ground. This will also increase its survivability against land mines or IEDs.

Best regards and congratulations!

I like the "snow" on the spruce...! Nice detail. I agree with @sigpro that the PAV must be wider, but even now it looks good

Judges Comments (not all judges comment):

The EW Truck looks great, the satellite dish was a little intriguing. Might have used (2) Window panes horizontally instead of 3 vertical as it might have been a bit closer to your source material. I like the detailing of the landscape, especially the odd ball pieces for snow on the tree. The assault vehicle could use a little more ground clearance for driving off road. The width could be a little wider to accommodate more troops/ Might benefit from coming out a little wider and building deep wheel wells to stick larger tires in. Overall, a nice build. Great job!    

Snow field, with trees, covered in snow, and two vehicles, both originals.  Very good start!  I think your PAV is good at 6 wide, I think the height is what's throwing people off.  I like the creation of this truck...Lots of potential for later on in your story line.  Much more detail on the vehicles as oppossed to the terrain, and that's ok.  Great start.

You can Update your AAR Post with your points to keep track.

Thanks for Playing and Have a Happy Easter!
