Prologue To The Tudor Civil War

[Archduke]

These are the three Tudor children, and though they seem calm, their feud shall coat the galaxy in blood.

(starting with the guy in the wig)

Henry IX, the eldest, and with the strongest claim to the throne. He has a large force of troops, and suggests "What if we have a Skeleton War?"
He promises ruthless leadership and efficiency.

Next, Henri I, second eldest, His mother was a peach, making his claim controversial, but he has campaigned hard in FSU territories, as well as turning to more tolerant factions. He promises fairness, and a long rule, as well as lots of treasure for his allies.

Finally Zsara, the youngest, She was raised on the teachings of Lenin, and wants to rouse the people to her cause. She appeals most to the oppressed, and to peoples already under communist control. Her platform is on an end to the monarchy and galactic Kommunisim to all.

Each Heir, all three very different, look to the galaxy for aid.

Basically, I'm starting a new plotline, and am hoping that if anyone wants to throw their faction's support behind one of the Tudor Children, and either you can do something with it or I can. The conflict will come to a head in a battle/war report later this month, or next month.

This sounds like an ossum timeline!

As for aid;
The STFU is willing to support Zsara in her efforts.

Wait so Henri I is at war with the FSU or is campaigning his claim there? I.E. he is trying to convince people there? Because when I first read that I thought it meant I was at war with him for some reason.

In terms of picking neighbors Henri I sounds like their pick. Good writing if that was your goal. Henry IX sounds like Black or generic dictator while Zsara is obviously Red and has to go. Also, skin is irrelevant to them compared with ideas and stability, but he can keep the money. Conflicts of interest and moral hazard make FSU diehards uneasy.

Hit me up with PM's about this if you're serious. I could make a small scenario (50-60 figs,) where a handful of Henri's guys are supported by FSU troops in a pitched skirmish with one of the other claimaints. I'd just need your input on designing the uniforms in a way I can afford 20-30 of and still look sick.

EDIT:

WAT? Oh no, it's the Condor Legion and Soviet aid in Spain all over again...

Also, the BNP will of course throw its lot in with Zsara too.

Lol
Actually, the STFU 43rd ArmoredAirborne is called the Kondor Legion.

But why?

Actually, the STFU 43rd ArmoredAirborne is called the Kondor Legion.

But why?

Earlier in STFU history, back when the Shivarian Federation was kommunist, one of the first armored units created was named after what was the national animal. I also at one time had about si x military units nicknamed, and couldn't think of a nickname for the 43rd, so when I was reading a bit about the Spanish civil war, I was like, hey, condor legion sounds cool, let's name it that. So I did.

EDIT: not the national animal, sorry. It was because the sound of a condor was played by the 43rd over loudspeaker to announce that the siege of the old capital by DSM was over. ( no, im not BSing this from scratch, thats actually how it happened).

[BriksKrieg]

On another note, the APL would like to join Henry IX and support him.
Also, PMs if (when?) this lifts off

[motorhead fan]

What do the soldiers of each Tudor look like?

[AZKAMAT]

Archduke PM'd me about the uniforms but I got 404'd to most of the links he sent. I'd like to know soon so I can try to get some kind of story-driving skirmish set in motion before the year ends.
