In an announcement today, Executor Dantes stated that the latest generation of the Armored Marine Division (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1487518#1487518), is quote "Soft, and inexperienced."

"The first line of Defense and first-strike squads are the backbone of our Infantry Corps, and the Pride of the Tersanctan Military. And yet due to decades of peacetime, even the AMD has become lax in its duties so I am asking none other than Lord Bastien the Bronze, Ruler of The Great, Free Land of Pantera. To send us some Reavers who can whip these boys into shape! The AMD are some of the finest soldiers I have met, are brave in battle, are willing to die for Tersanctus. And yet the New Generation taking over are not as battle-hardened as the generation preceding it. Though they practice in wargames non-stop, I feel they need a new perspective on war, a Reaver Perspective."

Although we would be pleased to send advisors and straegists to speak with your commanders, the Reavers do not play at war. War is our business, and our lives. It is not a game, and it is not for fun, or practice.

You fight, teeth bared and screaming defiance. You die fighting or see your enemis dead before you. Should you fall, you fall with honor, pride, and most importantly the lifes-blood of your enemies staining your blade. Then you may tell the Heroes of Valhalla that you died well, and you have earned your place among them.

This is what the Reavers know of warfare, friend, no more. A lesson learned over a thousand years of blood, fire, and glory. Long did we Drag the Waters, warring until our enemies were dust and ashes, taking what was thiers and making it our own. This is how we learned our art, friend, not playing at war in some quiet jungle.

Teach this to your soldiers, and they will know the strength of the Reavers.

Drag the Waters of War

(OC:While I would love to help out, I decided long ago that I wouldn't participate in "wargames" for the IC reasons stated above. The Reavers live warfare, they don't play at it. :) )

Executor Dantes, realizing how new he truly is too Nationstates bows head in shame, I...I...see. Hmm, than perhaps we too shall drag the waters of war, the time has come to cleanse the the shores of our enemies with there blood, wait.....I think Ive got one!!

Speak, fool! Lest you unleash The Machine of War!

There is no cause for shame, friend. We shall send a few of our most praised and decorated strategists to discuss the ways of Panteran wafare, and perhaps formalize an Alliance between our fair nations?

OOC: Truth is, if I do fight a War I just Bullshit my way through it. I'm not really good at logistics and whatnot, but I kill on tactics(10 years of strat games) and no one matches me when I rant and rave about rape and cleasing fire :evil: :evil: :evil:

OOC: Well as far as I can figure, There are two types of RPers, The storytellers, such as yourself. Than the (what I call) Numerologists, these are the ones who RP like this:

I have 20 Ships (class, size, crew...)

With 15 Helicopters, (Weaponry, size crew,)

Transporting 1900 MArines

Headed to your NE shore ETA 12 hours...

You get the Idea...

What I like to do is just get the stats and serial numbers and whathaveyou out of the way in prior posts and just linkup to them so that if people want to know about it clicky clicky!

I shall be honored, to recieve your commanders, for a few pointers, as it were, for the AMD, and to have an alliance with a nation such as yours, is an honor in and of itself. Your enemies, shall be our enemies, we shall die together on the battlefield for the honor and glory of Pantera and Tersanctus!

The oath of a Tersanctan Armored Marine.


"I am an Armored Marine, I know first and foremost, my life does not depend on my suit. I know that only a fool puts his life in the hands of his weapon. I have earned the privlege of wearing this suit for my extraordinary knowledge with weaponry, and my ferocity on the battlefeild. I wear this suit so that I may take more ground for the marines behind me. I wear this suit so that the enemy may not take me out before he runs out of ammunition. I will kill my enemy before he can kill me. If I die on the battlefield, I will die with the knowledge that I have brought glory to my family name. If I die on the battlefield, I will die with the knowledge that the enemy had too put more effort into killing me, than I into them. I am an Armored Marine, and this is my oath"

Now and always, we shall Drag the Waters and stride the Halls of Valhalla alongside one another.

Our commanders should be arriving within the week, and will be staying some three months in your nation, to instruct and assist where they might. They consider it a pleasure to aid in the readying of your troops, and already boast that they plan to create a fighting force to rival that of the bravest Reaver.

We trust they shall, and looks forward to the day when we may fight alongside your fine soldiers.

Bastien the Bronze
