Stalliongrad
Oh this is nice.
Mind: blown. Marine ponies. Sure, they call themselves the army, but...
Anyway, this is just weird. Not really fitting for the original universe, but good nonetheless.
Very Well Written! The different pony universe took some getting used to but definitely enjoyable. Please keep updating!
Very well written thus far,
Twilight feels a tad bit out of character at times, but you know, the whole war thing.
Stalliongrad? I mean there's puns, and then there's just... sweet Celestia on a solar sandwich. Stalliongrad. Oy....
Twilight seems oddly passive. She's faced danger before and has a heck of a lot of magic to burn... it seems off that she's not really doing anything. Also, shouldn't she send an update to Celestia? Dragonfire can't be jammed. ;)
I do believe this is an awesome story. Great Job. I do ever so enjoy the diction style and especially the setting.
To address Twilight's passivity, I would think it makes sense. She's never been exposed to this sort of danger and carnage before hand. It should take time for her to adjust.
Keep Going Warhorse72, this is awesome!
No one appreciates the armed forces. Except the Dutch.
Needs moar chpaters
Wow, Chapter 4...
Just great.
By far the best chapter so far.
Some small grammar errors here and there.
but the whole pacing, emotion everything interplayed fabulously.
Its hard to take it seriously when Spike keeps making wise cracks.
Fix please.
Great story otherwise
I'll let the others point out your mistakes. For me, I don't really mind because this story is well-written and descriptive. Keep up the good work
"And just like that, Spike did another about-face with his mood, his shoulders slumping and his brow dragging down."
straight from chapter 1..
I don't think many people here know what an about-face is. I do, but I was just sayin'.
annddd I think it should've been Magic Corps instead of army..just sayin'.
Chapter 5 was a bit of a disappointment. Not all too long and it ended with a bit of a slap to the face. If you're overly stressed or cant think of anyway to continue it it'd suggest to write a rough copy of chapter 6, then come back to it and look it over. That usually helps me.
Harold Coyle meets Ponies. *AWE-SOME!!!*
Fics like these are a bit rare... Grimdark but not to terribly gory and overdramatic, and at the same time not failing to make clear the gravity of the situation... Good work, can't wait for the next part.
It's like today is Seth's shipping story day. This has to be the tenth story with shipping posted since 11 AM.
@Logan Warner
But it has no shipping!
Well, at least, not really.
I mean, if you squint. A lot.
Twilight and Short,
sitting in a tree
K.I.L.L.I.N.G.
@terrycloth I think I love you.
I am loving this! Thank you, WarHorse72!
your getting really good, Chapters 8 & 9 bad me tearing up a little bit, very good writing.
i cannot wait for the next chapter when it all starts hitting the fan, confound this fandom and it's awesome authors & artist >_>
FINALLY,
More chapters.
yey update!
Ooh, I like this. The story's a beauty; it has a coherent plot, back story, and it just makes sense in context!
But the more I read, the more I feel like I'm a bad person for enjoying it. D:
it's a bit hidden with Season2 starting and all, but I like this fic. I wish if I could draw something for this but I'm no good.
It's pretty interesting, I think Twilight and Short are very cute... but things like this happen in combat situations, stress makes us...horny?
Anyways, I appreciate your military knowledge, and if you ever need any help with air force type stuff (like rank system, organization, various jargon) I'm more than happy to help as I know the air force is vastly different from the army and marines.
A must read! Y U NO 7 STAR?
I just wish the chapters were longer.
This is, by far, one of the greatest stories I have ever read. And there is going to be a sequel?! AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still good. Oh and warhorse. There's nothing to tone down. All I did was say that the dogs were acting in self interest in the end by looting and all, and merely used the term capitalist to describe them. I really don't see how I could tone it down, or how I insulted you. Jeez......
@Timber
Agreed! far to short, i always end up screaming "NOOOOOO!" in my head when i reach the end of the latest chapter. cant wait for the next one as well as the sequel, so keep up the good work WarHorse!
Odds there's a bunch of bombs on the ship, which now only has a skeleton crew on board?
.... you are evil and I'm going to cry for that cliffhanger was the most heart wrenching on I have read in a long time
truly riveting story WarHorse72 :D
i cant wait for the epilogue and crossfire, keep up the great work!
R.I.P. Gunn =,(
Wow...
I usually find it hard to really get into a war story. I can count the number I actually liked on one... well, hoof, actually.
Which is the reason that I am awed that I ended up reading this story in three days, even chooslightly slightly left behind by Fallout:Equestria (one of my absolute favorite stories from this fanbase).
WarHorse, I salute you, for all that's worth from a meager Boy Scout. You have put together a great story, one that I eagerly look forward to seeing continued. Hay, I've even considered doing a little side story for it...
I also would like to wish you luck while you serve our country. I have a deep respect for our armed forces, for having the courage to risk themselves for the safety of the country.
Sorry for the wall of text...
In summary, great story, eagerly looking forward to more, and good luck.
I have no idea why, but ponies and warfare seem to go together really well. The upcoming war mentioned in the epilogue would make a good basis for a real-time strategy game.
This story is freaking badass. I tried writing an MLP war story myself, but I'm starting with a MW@ crossover instead. I noted this is your only story so far. Keep up the outstanding work!
A huzzah for Ceasefire! Also, excellent art of Private Short Stop, sorry, Sargent Short Stop (alliteration intentional?).
You have obviously been playing way too much COD. And that's awesome. Because this story is awesome extremely awesome. So awesome that you need to HURRY UP AND POST THE NEW CHAPTER!!!!!!
Read this in one go. I have seen it updated before but never tried it. I am sorry it took me so long to. Good story. Very fitting use of the characters. Can't wait to read part two. Keep up the good work.
^^There was CoD element in this? I didn't notice. (Oh, I just read rest of comment, i see) It's nice to see a fan-fic that updates quite frequently. It's gonna be good reading.
Equestria definitely needs a standing army of Russian ponies.
what the, I didn't know there was chapter3 update!? gotta read'em all
Great fic! I've only gotten through Guardians, but I really like your characterizations. I'm usually on the fence about OC ponies, but yours are absolutely wonderful. Love Azure!
Oh my God, this finally got updated!
