-[-] Bretonnia

-[-] La Bomba the Killer Queen

Welcome to Mousillon Comrade! Home of Bourgeoisie and Capitalist Pigs both Living and technically neither Living nor Dead!

And also us, the enlightened proletariat.

Anyways Ms. Chairman since you are elected. I, as Chief Secretary and at the behest of Dear Leader must tell you the facts for what it is: The *spits* "Nobles" have for a long time ruled over Bretonnia and The People, treating them with less than human treatment going so far as to kill them for just looking at their pretty winged horses and taking 90% of their earnings. Many of the People' Revolutionary Army will attest to how poorly even the soldiers are; ONE copper coin for a campaign!? Outrageous!

Which is why Bretonnia, this ... SYMBOL of the EVILS of the Bourgeoisie MUST be PURGED of the PIGS!

But we must start somewhere...

Mousillion is the only 'Dukedom' mostly free of their filth but that is only because the Dead linger here.

Not to worry. The PRA stands as our bulwark and will crush these vermin with the weapons our The Academy of Science are busily developing.

General La Bomba, the Killer Queen leads the PRA ; she is an expert of all manner of explosives and guns.

Spoiler: La Bomba

Say hello General!

"Hola~<3"

And with the help of Professor Giovanni, master of all things machine we have managed to develop some means to battle against the enemies of the people!
Say hello Professor!

Spoiler: Giovanni

"COMMUNIST SCIENCE IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA"

...erm... moving on....

Comrade Chairman I am pleased to announce that we have for the most part secured a Town (by unanimous decree it is called Comradegrad) thanks to the help of our superior weaponry provided by the General and the Automatons of the Professor. Mind you there are at least four other Major Towns (and Castle Mousillon) we need to capture for the revolution before we can safely say we control this region but not to worry! Our Goal is just and the will of the people cannot be denied .... but just in case make sure you have an escape plan...

With brilliant planning and organization the EDC has quickly promoted the successful five-point plan to promote the growth and productivity of our rising republic.

Recycling Drives ensure not one piece of scrap is wasted; Public Transit in the form of rotating patrols of horse drawn carts paid by the people's taxes ensure the people can go as they please with mail of the new Postal Service being dispensed the same way as well; Community Gardens provide food for our Comrades and promote unity; and the brilliant establishment of a Rationing System with these little paper cards has done wonders in conserving our resources.

Excellent news! Comrade Giovanni has, after snorting some mysterious green powder, developed a new and powerful weapon to use against the Bourgeois!

Introducing the Wing Pack!

Spoiler: Wing Pack

A wondrous device that uses astoundingly simple yet ingenious pneumetic and clockwork systems to flap a pair of canvas wings, allowing the wearer to fly like the birds themselves!

Congratulations Professor! What do you have to say for yourself!?

FUCK YOU DADALLO! I BEAT YOUR BIRDMEN AT THEIR OWN GAME MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

....my thoughts exactly!

He has even made a small set of them with parachutes and have given them to the PRA for field testing. Time will tell how La Bomba will work her magic.*

Loyalty to the People, the Party, and the State and no one else! (Need 30)(Nationalism: Loyalty to the Nation over Lords, Religion, or Race)
1D100 => 97 NATURAL CRITICAL
Nationalism! Loyalty to none but The Nation Itself! Not to Greed! Not to some false faith or 'honor' towards some Materialist Lord! THIS momentous concept is about believing in something greater than yourself yet grounded in reality unlike the 'gods'. So inspiring is this that our nearest neighboring town has indeed thrown off the yoke of their Vampire Bourgeois to join the Revolution! While some may say that the Socialist Society of Proletariat-Town should not be permitted to join .... on the account that they are all mutants but I say they are just as much victims of Capitalists and Northern Savages as the People are! Welcome Comrades!

NEW DIPLOMACY UPGRADE: Nationalism - Loyalty to a Nation

Proletariat-Town Annexed. 2/5 Settlements Captured.

Toxic Swamp and Poisoned Soil is hard to purify but purify your people do. Sifting soil, draining polluted water, digging up the garbage of the old, all of it is expensive as the decontamination and landscaping process goes over budget twice. But it is done. The land while not very fertile can be tilled and nursed back to health.

The EDC has done it again! The Guaranteed Employment Program which insures that every member of society works in one way or the other is a success! Teamwork and Cooperation ensures that no man or woman or ... thing is unable to contribute to society. Guards, Farmers, Craftsmen, Clerks... the list of jobs is many but many rise to fulfill them. Poverty I am glad to say has been erased within our borders due to excellent planning.

RUMOR MILL
Mutants Welcome!? - To the confusion of the Night Aristocracy of Mousillon the Mutants of what is now Proletariat-Town have rose up against their rightful undead masters and petition to join those strange new 'Socialists'. What is stranger is that they accepted! The Red Duke does nothing and many grow suspicious. Why so little news comes out of Comradegrad?
Druchii Raiding Ships spotted! - The Dark Elves have once more returned to pillage and plunder. Here at least the Red Duke has answered. Many sunken ships have been raised from the sea and now gather at the port of Castle Mousillon. While the Druchii attack the newcomers their ships will be vulnerable to the Fleet of the Red Duke. And soon they too will join his new armada.
WHERE THE FUCK IS SKARBRAND!? - Khorne is fucking pissed! Where the hell is that Skarbrand asshole!?

 

[Spktr Alpha]

Druchii Raid​

You are no stranger to fights. Across the Old World you have fought the Attack Dogs that the Bourgeoise use to oppress the Worker and Peasant as well as the Animals and Barbarians undeserving of the enlightenment of the Collectivist Creed. But despite your insistence that you can grab a gun you, Dear Leader, and much of the upper leadership are forced to watch the defense of Comradegrad from PRA Headquarters.

From the roof at least you see the approaching Druchii Ships, small, narrow, and very fast. Unfortunately you have no navy to speak of and must rely on a Pair of Cannon that cannot target such targets so easily. Every cannonball harmlessly splashes in the water.

At least the Organ Guns manage to quickly train upon two of the first ships to land, quickly raking the open decks with volley fire.

Regardless the enemy had more ships than you had guns and they quickly disembark to find the open beach marked by many makeshift barricades and guns peaking out of them.

And also Skarbrand.

They paused.... and then immediately began to run the other way.

[ ] Demand Surrender
They will us all they know!
[ ] Hunt them Down

Another Glorious Victory for The People's Revolutionary Army! Extra Kvas rations for everyone!
Now as to the matter of the Druchii Materialists a good number were cut down thanks to our enthusiastic Comrade Private Skarbrand but one at least managed to survive ... for a day. Unfortunately it seems that he was such an ignoble cretin that he committed suicide rather than accept a reading of Skarbrand's poetry.

The private has been understandably ... beside himself.

If not for his valorous acts Skarbrand and the fact that he is off fighting the enemies of the people he would be reprimanded for desertion. Last time we have checked he has located the Black Ark and is busy venting his frustration. Not to worry. We will provide a Counselor when he is ready to come back to us. Now as to the matter at hand: I have a good many things on the agenda for you today but I can start with news that the Council of Proletariat-Town has swiftly adopted our policies but our bottom line is still ... ho hum...

Skarbrand has gone on a rampage.

[-] Commissars
We must ensure order within the PRA. Special officers should be conditioned to ensure discipline and loyalty to the Party. (Need 60)(Commissars. Military Morale Bonus)
1D100 => 89
New Political Officers have been commissioned whose goal it is to not only lead the men to battle but also ensure discipline and loyalty to the party. As well as performing ... executions with their pistols if needed...
NEW MILITARY UPGRADE: Commissars - Political Officers that ensure discipline, loyalty, and also lead men into battle. (Military Morale Bonus)

[-] Molotov Cocktails
Cheaper than grenades but just as lethal. (Need 20)(Molotovs: Firebomb range attack for all infantry)
1D100 => 92 NATURAL CRITICAL

...mistakes were made.
​

I will be honest with you chairman every soldier worth his stuff knows how to throw a flaming bottle. Kvas is already flammable enough and since everyone know puts a drop of Phosphex to add that extra kick in their rations I have had the displeasure of witnessing a Tzeentch Flamer screaming about how it was burning to death.

Sadly what is worst is that many of our newest recruits also happen to subscribed to General La Bomba's combat doctrine. These clinically insane comrades of ours have taken to explosives and setting many, many, MANY things on fire.

While I admire their ... enthusiasm in the amount of property damage and fires currently raging across the Bourgeous-controlled regions of Mousillon we have no means to reign them in.

NEW MILITARY UNIT: Crazy Ivans - Because a Flagellant Serial Arsonist/Bomber is worse than a regular flagellant. (Unbreakable. Missile Infantry. Fast for Infantry. Expendable. Vigor. Frenzy. Flaming Attack. Splash Damage. Anti-Large.)​

NEW MILITARY UPGRADE: Molotovs - Bottles of Kvas and Phosphex used as firebombs. Burns EVERYTHING. (Molotovs: Special Missile Attack. Splash Damage. Flaming Attack. Magical. Ignores Armor.)

Mousillon is on fire.

Crazy Ivans x 8

[-] Spread Nationalism
The idea of a Republic by the people, for the people should be spread! (Need 40)(Spreads Nationalism to the rest of Mousillon and Bretonnia; Garner support and followers from Peasantry i.e. resource income & defecting units/characters)
1D100 => 90 NATURAL CRITICAL
We have spread the word of The People's Republic of Mousillon and the response is overwhelmingly positive!

Not only has a third town in Mousillon (Called Collectivist-opolis) has overthrown the Undead Bourgeois but many a Bretonnia Peasant and Worker now flock to our borders, not just human but also many Mutants who are the most enthusiastic of our new supporters. Among them we have many veteran soldiers who have thrown off the shackles of their bourgeois masters and have sided with The People and range from grizzled Foot Squires to skilled Mounted Yeoman who have been absorbed into the PRA. With these new men we have created an Elite Guard Unit who through intense training regiment are now the cream of the crop we can now field.

Better news is that many who do not venture to our Republic now support us from afar and will send us both information and resources and will clearly support us in the time that we launch our revolution to fully retake Bretonnia for the people.

In them meantime our newest member is already pulling its weight. This fishing village was in reality home to a smuggling ring that smuggled supplies to aid the peasantry while their overlords were not looking. These heroes have joined showcasing their invention: A barrel-like mini-submarine called The Turtle which they used to slip past haunted ships and various sea-monsters. Already our Academy of Science has upgraded and produced copies of The Turtle, which now mounts a snorkel for indefinite operation while submerged, an in-built automaton to drive it automatically with arms that allow it or its driver the ability to interact with objects, and lastly weapons in the form of water-proofed bombs and power-tools to cut apart hulls or creatures of the deep. The Smugglers with the Association's blessing has converted and expanded their secret workshop into the first of your Shipyards and quickly tinkering with other submersibles.

Collectivist-opolis Annexed. 3/5 Settlements Captured.

NEW SETTLEMENT: Collectivist-opolis - Fishing Village with experimental shipyard.
Cost and Difficulty of People's Navy action reduced.

NEW INVENTION: Submersibles - Ships that are able sail underwater.

NEW NAVAL UNIT: Turtle - Barrel-like Mini-Submarine. (Small. Submarine. Grappler. Special Bomb Attack.)

Bretonnia Sympathizer Network: A network of Communist Sympathizers within Bretonnia who will provide information and material support to the People's Republic. (Information and Resource network in Bretonnia)

[-] Farmer's Association

1D100+10 => 31
An old Barn is now home to the Farmer Association where they will meet to best discuss farming matters. It took some convincing but now many peasant leaders engage in business and diplomacy to ensure better yields.
Farmer's Association: A governing assembly for Farmers. (+2 Production, +2 Wealth a turn)
-2 Production

The Town is in sorry shape. It needs to be torn down and rebuilt. (Need 40)(5 Production)(Unlock Urban Development options)
1D100+10 => 38
There were a few accidents clearing the three towns of so many condemned buildings but the blight and roads have been cleared. Temporary work camps will do for now while we get brick and mortar industry built.
Urban Development Options unlocked

While the invention of the Wing Pack allows any Comrade to fly we still need something bigger. So after some study the Academy has developed a series of balloons that can be used for transport and possibly warfare.

NEW INVENTION: Ballooning - Lighter-than-air flight using gas-filled balloons.
Flight Research Tree unlocked

[-] Civilian Chemicals
The Kvas supply is ALWAYS running low.... (Need 40)(8 Production, 2 Wealth)(Chemical based Economic and Utility Improvements)
1D100 => 3 CRITICAL FAILURE
Tragedy has struck our Republic as the new Chemical Plant collapsed due to pipes leaking chemicals that corroded much of the foundations lead to a collapse of the structure and the furthering of the chemical spill. The good news is that the dead, the monsters, and Chaotic beings can't stand Chemical Contamination, the bad news is neither can your own people. Emergency cleanup has been done in the towns and farmland but one wrong move and toxic waste may breach our quarantine.

Mousillon Chemical Spill: Environment rendered hostile (increased difficult and cost for land development actions and more severe failures, attrition damage when venturing outside decontaminated regions)
-8 Production, -2 Wealth due to Plant Construction then Destruction

[-] Personal Combat Training
-[-] Range Weaponry

You spent time at the shooting range and developed some skill in the Rifle. You may find some worth as a dedicated Marksmen...

RANDOM EVENT
1D100 => 52
A scouting force of Skeleton Cavalry was discovered and repelled, apparently bogged down in chemically polluted bog that corroded their metal equipment and bones. Weakened enough the Wight Commander had no chance against the ambush and was the only one to not be destroyed. Unfortunately he has escaped and what the PRA has found tells us that others scouts are being sent to probe our lines.

RESOURCES
Production: 11 + 9 Income - 2 Farmer's Association - 6 Basic Industry - 8 Chemical Plant = 4
Wealth: 6 + 3 Income - 2 Chemical Plant = 7

RUMOR MILL
WHY IS EVERYTHING ON FIRE!? - Panic strikes as uncontrolled fires, unexplained explosions, and a widespread chemical spill has disrupted the Red Duke's Peace. Many of the Night's Houses are busy putting down fires literal and not and chaos is spreading.
Like Lemmings! - To the confusion of the Dukes of Bretonnia hundreds of peasants are leaving their villages and streaming toward the Cursed Dukedom. Many Knights are scratching their heads for how can you threaten somone to stop doing suicidal behavior?

I think I have the data sheet up to date for the moment but you guys let me know if something is off. Also I just realised that I put the wrong bonus for Worker. It was supposed to be learning not stewardship . I am unsure how I can fix it now that its been a couple turns . In any case I'll let you guys know when Prologue IV is up.

Click to shrink...

Like what I said above. Rather than posting Prologue IV my deliberation. I've deciding to ask you players what bonus you players will desire. Either a solid bonus to Learning Rolls or an extra Learning Re-roll. Just note that this is NOT retroactive.

[ ] +10 to Learning rolls
[ ] +1 Learning Re-roll
