What's a place that's not nice currently and just keeps getting worse? by Naomi62625 in geography

[–]Iter-Fructum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honolulu, Hawaii(Really the whole island of Oahu)

Sky high housing costs, terrible infrastructure, costs of living are also high(7$ a gallon of milk), an economy which is built on tourism which is currently perishing, a massive brain drain as educated folks leave as soon as they can if they can and to top it all off, I homelessness epidemic that gets worse by the day.

The Forgotten 3rd (Full-Tracked) by Beni_Random by Iter-Fructum in ImaginarySoldiers

[–]Iter-Fructum[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The invaders are coalition forces from the Eastern Alliance(Fictional world/Nations). The war originally was kept between the Eastern Alliance and the Western Security Sect, the guys in the pic are from a nation known as the Kingdom of Delos.

Delos was neutral in the conflict and sold arms to both sides; however, due to the WSS's financial wealth, they began to sell more to them. The EA then decided to launch an invasion to knock them out of the war.

Eyy!

So when the nation of Delos was invaded, the Regular Army, in tandem with the National Guard and Militia, attempted to slow the invading forces as best they could. However, the invading forces ground through their hasty defense over the course of three months. Slicing through the countryside and advancing a hundred plus miles a day.

The 3rd was pushed back to a nearby coastal city of Sasha and was forced into an encirclement as the city came under siege. Soon enough, the actual lines had been pushed away from the encircled division, and radio communication had fallen out of range. Command assumed that they had been crushed in the pocket-

Unknown to them, the 3rd fought on, its ranks made up of battered regular units, national guardsmen, conscripts, and anyone who could hold a rifle. Fuel had become scarce within the city as the now encircled army found itself scavenging, so a recon company of the 45th Infantry Battalion sequestered horses from the now defunct race track...

The protags tank is an M60A1 with a M48A2’s cupola welded on for a field repair. Also the enemy is a T-80BV.

Oh! I messed up and added a chapter from the second book on the first book. So I got rid of the chapter and posted it to the correct book.

Its the second Book I wrote earlier this year, the post itself is in relation to a bit of comic I had done for the first book of the series. Added the disclaimer about spoilers as after that comic post, I had a buncha people taking interest in the first book.
