Continent of Izia.

Map

The continental map before the war, and now 1 year into the war.

After initial gains against Kiarland and Nairenia in the north and west the assault stalled. Six months ago, Ridengar launched an attack on Nairenia and Tace from the south, securing the whole southern portion of the peninsula while their forces were away. With each nation trying to defend its own borders, cooperation is almost nonexistent.

Tace Confederacy

The nation of Tace was formed hundreds of years ago by willing alliance between Westiano, Ardmoore and Balesier.

Ridengar Commonwealth

Ridengar Army

The Ridengar Army uses olive drab for their field uniforms and vehicles, with purple markings.

Infantry

This is actually a special forces soldier (hence the black uniform) but the Army uses an olive drab version, with purple stripes.

The Infantry section of the Ridengar Army is the most varied, with pathfinders, urban combat specialists, demolitions experts, and all manner of other skillsets.

Ridengar Armored Transport

The workhorse of the Ridengar Army. Although it doesn't carry any weapons, each transport can carry two full squads and a handful of additional support or command personnel. Two of these effectively carry a combat platoon, minus their extended logistics personnel.

The Armored Transport is not good on rougher terrain, so that does limit their mobility.

Ridengar Light Attack Vehicle

A two-person vehicle designed to be fast, agile, and capable of overcoming rough terrain. It is primarily used to support infantry operations when Mecha are not available, but can harass enemy convoys and vehicles with it's light cannon.

Ridengar Anti-Mecha Artillery

A heavy truck chassis that carries an extra Omnium Drive dedicated to power the large Anti-mecha pulse cannon mounted on the back. The weapon is operated from a cockpit on teh back end of the cannon itself, though in emergencies it can be operated from the secondary station in the vehicle's cab, albeit with less accuracy.

Ridengar Mech Force

Due to the scarcity of Mechs as they were first developed and the importance they played on the battlefield, Mech Pilots are drawn almost exclusively from the ranks of officers.

The RMF came about during the Hylek with the creation of Mechs, starting as the Army Mech Corps but soon becoming its own separate branch like the Ridengar Air Force.

Lieutenant - Pilot
Captain - commands a Flight (multiple Mechs)
Major - commands a Squadron (multiple Flights)
Colonel - commands a Wing (multiple Squadrons)
Brigadier - commands a Group (multiple Wings)

Flag Ranks
LT General
Major General
General

The above is the list of ranks that often see combat on the battlefield. Beyond them are Generals who typically lead and coordinate their forces from an operational command center.

There are (or can be) sub-ranks such as 2nd Lieutenant or Lieutenant Colonel, but they typically denote seniority and they fall into the above "normal" command structure.

Bulwark

High Concept: "Gen-3A Infantry Support Mech"

An old but reliable mech design that was retrofitted to keep it somewhat effective against newer Gen-4 Mechs. It is equipped with a Tactical Shield that they can used to protect key vehicles or assets, as well as a series auto-turrets that serve as point defense against vehicles or infantry that get too close.
