NATO Affiliated.); Umamusume: Information about this world and Umamusume:

• Umamusume are an all-female human species with horse ears atop their head (their human ears nonexistent as it's replaced by them), tails, and also possess horse-like speed, strength, and stamina. They have no hooves or whatever other four-legged horse things—just horse ears and tails on human girls. Essentially, kemonomimis.
• There is no such thing as a male Uma.
• There are no normal horses in the world, normal horses never existed in this world, so traits are named after Umamusume.
• Their world has adapted to the existence of Umamusume. For example, they have a dedicated lane for them to run on (though they can still run on walkways) much like a bike lane. Telephones exist with long-necked receivers to reach an Umamusume's ears atop their head.
• Almost all Umamusume run on the balls of their human feet, so heels (whether high or low) are an integral part of their footwear.
• Umamusume seem to have a playful fixation on carrots. Most also have an innate, powerful desire to run.
• Some Umamusume are believed to carry the souls or namesakes of legendary racehorses from another world.
• Umamusume are only born to Umamusume mothers, male children of human–Umamusume unions are fully human.
• Umamusume age differently from humans, their physical appearance remaining youthful for a long time, much like an elf. 1985 • Gorbachev is elected Communist Party General Secretary in March 1985. Surrounding himself with technocrats and like-minded allies, he begins the process of Glasnost and Perestroika. He intends to reverse the Soviet Union’s decades-long economic decline but faces stiff internal resistance against his far-reaching political measures. The Afghanistan War is turning into a drawn-out disaster for the Soviet Army. Victory seems out of grasp. An exit strategy, however, is not yet formulated. • The Reagan Doctrine continues at pace, putting pressure on communist-backed governments worldwide, including Afghanistan, Angola, Nicaragua, and elsewhere. • Under coercion from the United States, oil production is increased in Saudi Arabia, forcing a drop in oil prices. This, in turn, critically hurts the Soviet Union’s revenue stream. A hardline group of communist hawks begins to pressure Gorbachev to respond against - in their eyes - this hostile act by the Americans. • The Soviet Union is forced to loan large amounts from (mostly) Western banks. The once-mighty nation’s economy is slipping even further. 1986 • Chernobyl nuclear disaster. Peaceful demonstrations in the Soviet Union calling for better living standards and representation spread to Eastern Europe. Communist leadership oscillates between a hardline response and one more conciliatory to the protesters. • Seeing the nation’s poor state and Gorbachev’s reforms advancing at a breakneck pace, the conservative nomenklatura - those key people holding administrative power throughout the USSR - start clandestinely organizing themselves. • The Baltic states stir. The first disruptive demonstrations in Estonia spread to Latvia and Lithuania. Conflict within the Communist Party sees the advance of Gorbachev’s technocrats stilted. In a blow to the General Secretary, several key associates of his are ousted through political maneuvering. 1987 • Undeterred, Gorbachev proposes “demokratisy” in the January meeting. He rapidly expands Glasnost. • Massive demonstrations flare up in the Baltic States. With Gorbachev hesitating, local Soviet military and politicians take matters into their own hands. They quell the unrest in the Soviet states with a harsh police response. With “few” deaths but many more wounded or imprisoned, an uneasy quiet returns. • After months of infighting and political smoke and mirrors, Gorbachev and his close allies are disposed of in a bloodless military coup by the “Troika” in April 1987. • The “Troika” is an old guard of hardline communists and Stalinist military men stemming from the highest echelons of the KGB, the Soviet Army, and the Communist Party. They swiftly take over, getting rid of the reformers and technocrats. Originating from Bezhnev’s and Andropov’s days, paranoia runs deep, with the fear of regime change and a fracturing of the Soviet Union almost a constant preoccupation. • The Troika, in one of their first puts into action a secret KGB plan to overthrow Finland’s neutral government. It is considered the source of the Baltic unrest in the months previous. With a public show of force, including a potent mix of external military pressure and “active measures,” Finland turns pro-communist. • Finland moves deeper into the sphere of influence of the Soviet Union, echoing Czechoslovakia’s “normalization” after the Prague Spring in ‘69. A shocking development for the Western world, it dramatically bolsters the Troika’s standing within the USSR. As a direct result, Sweden joins NATO. • In response to the coup and Finland’s “turn to red,” Reagan announces a strong rebuke. He initiates a second phase in the “New Cold War” with even more aggressive posturing in Western Europe, the funding of counterinsurgencies against communist forces, and a massive increase in defense armament deals. • Close to being signed, one of Reagan’s first acts is to abolish the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) agreement. The Troika sees this as a hostile act. • Several Western European countries balk at Reagan’s strong measures. They believe in a more conciliatory approach to the new Soviet leadership. • Crippling debts and rising military expenditure force the Soviet Union into ever worse trade deals. Oil reserves drop dangerously low and food shortages affect the whole of the USSR. 1988 • Trouble in the Caucasus is averted when the Soviet Army steps in and restores control, returning a rebellious Armenia, recently declared independence, back to the communist fold. The Troika asserts its power. • Reforger 88, the annual NATO exercise, is bigger than ever. Much like Able Archer 83, the military build-up near the Iron Curtain is filled with weeks of saber-rattling. The Troika is becoming more paranoid and close to ordering a surprise strike on NATO. A crisis is narrowly averted. In the aftermath, unknown to NATO, the Soviet Union starts planning for a more comprehensive military response. • In August 1988, the Iraq-Iran war continues. All major arms suppliers, including the U.S. and USSR, send ever-increasing quantities of military equipment to both Iraq and Iran. Desperate for cheap oil, the Soviets covertly start sending instructors and more advanced materiel to keep Iran in the fight. Tensions run high in the Persian Gulf. • Soviet disinformation campaigns are ramped up through Operation ROMAN (a massively upgraded Operation RYAN ) at the year’s close. Several NATO members start wavering in their commitment to the alliance’s cause. • Summer of ‘88: Demonstrations in Poland and Berlin are violently dispersed, with hundreds of refugees fleeing to West Germany. • Connections between West Berlin and West Germany is briefly blocked, resulting in a tense stand-off between East German border guards and local Allied forces. The issue is resolved diplomatically, but unease in the enclave remains. • Secret planning by the Troika continues. Offensive Warsaw Pact plans aimed at a conventional war in Western Europe are drawn up. The strategic objective is the Finlandization of Europe, destroying NATO as a military alliance, and annulling American influence in Western Europe’s affairs. 1989 • George H. W. Bush becomes president. His response to several actions by the Soviet Union is delayed, though he doesn’t slow down any of the military buildups or mobilization plans by the United States. • Tentative secret Polish government talks with the opposition become known to the Troika. They are quickly scuttled in January 1989. Under the threat of Soviet military control, Polish leader Jaruzelski tightens his grip on the country with an even harsher implementation of Martial Law. • Other Warsaw Pact countries, fearful of Finland’s coup in ‘87 and a rerun of the Hungarian Uprising and Czechoslovakia Invasion, fall in line. Any dissident is squashed. The Gang of Four (East Germany’s Honecker, Bulgaria’s Todor Zhivkov, Czechoslovakia’s Gustáv Husák, and even Romania’s obstinate Nicolae Ceaușescu) strengthen their hold on their respective nations, becoming even more repressive. • While economic problems wreak havoc in the country, and fearful of outside invasion, Yugoslavia partially mobilizes. Any simmering local ethnic tensions are kept in check. While ostensibly aimed at a potential NATO offensive, a Soviet attack is not ruled out. • In a speech in West Berlin, both UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and U.S. President George H. W. Bush admonish the Soviet Union’s violent crackdown on political dissidents. They promise a greatly renewed effort in “the fight for freedom and democracy.” New armament deals, support for democratic groups behind the Iron Curtain, mobilization plans, and technological advancements are revealed. • The specter of war looms. NATO takes a cautious approach but secretly rearms and prepares to send reinforcements to West Germany. The next REFOGER («REturn of FORces to GERmany») will contain a substantially increased number of units. Reforger ‘89 is scheduled for September 1989. • Greatly upset by the bolstered military planning for Reforger ‘89 and believing Reforger ‘88 was a rehearsal of the real thing, the Troika fervently believes the Soviet Union is only minutes away from a full-on NATO invasion. The decision is made to strike first. The war’s military goals include advancing Warsaw Pact forces to the Rhine before fresh U.S. reinforcements can be brought to Germany. This would result in West Germany’s surrender and subsequent demilitarization. • A massive Warsaw Pact exercise in East Germany is announced for the end of June: Zapad-89. The military build-up continues at pace. NATO’s response tempered by internal political wrangling. • The entire month of June sees major troop movements, chiefly on the Soviet side of the Inner German Border. Suddenly, late on June 19th, the withdrawal of most of the East German border guards. War is imminent. NATO is brought to full alert. • WAR - June 20, 1989, 07:05 - the Warsaw Pact invasion begins. The first shots of war happen in the dead of night. Soviet and East German special forces seize the Kassel-Calden airport in a daring covert operation using Finnish charter planes. • Across the Iron Curtain, the Warsaw Pact air landing forces assault lead the attack, including diversionary operations on Kitzingen. Saboteur actions on the Weser River and Ramstein Air Base are repulsed. • A naval missile strike hits Kiel’s Tirpitzhafen naval base, while Hamburg and Hannover come under sustained missile and artillery strikes. • A multi-pronged strategic offensive breaches the Inner German Border in multiple places, affecting all NATO commands, from the North German Plain to Kassel, the Fulda Gap, and Bavaria. World War III is underway. ##Lore/Background: The U.S. 3rd Armored Division "Spearhead" counted on a distinguished World War II career. seeing combat from Normandy all the way to VE-Day in Germany. Reactivated in the mid-1950's one it's famous soldiers was Elvis Presley, serving with the formation in West Germany. Part of CENTAG, the division was headquartered in and around Frankfurt. In times of conflict, as the V Corps' heavy tank force, the 3rd Armored Division would deploy rapidly to the front, countering any Warsaw Pact incursion through the Fulda Gap. ##Equipment: The 3rd Armored Division relies on its prominent tank and anti-tank forces to dominate the battlefield, fielding not only the advanced M1A1 Abrams but also the M1A1(HA), one of NATO’s most heavily armored tanks.The long-range TOW-2 ATGM is present, either part of the M901A1 ITV or as a dismounted weapon team. While infantry can only deploy as 5- or 6-men half-sized fireteams, they come in the capable Bradley IFV. Supporting units include recon M981 FISTV, heavy-duty HEMTT transports, and the M270 MRLS with cluster warheads. Air power is a strong point. The AH-64A Apache is a potent attack helicopter, while F-111E and F-4E Phantom II come in various close-air support loadouts. Air superiority can be handsomely achieved with the state-of-the-art F-15C ##Lore/Background: The U.S. 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment "Black Umamusume" was CENTAG's tripwire, a screening force situated directly on the Inner German Border. With the outbreak of the war, the regiment's squadrons were to be reinforced with a few West German and American battalions, intent on holding back the Warsaw Pact for as long as possible. Manning outposts such as the famous OP Alpha, U.S. 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment "Black Umamusume's" wartime mission near the Fulda Gap would be near-sacrificial, with life expectancy counted in hours. One of the famous soldiers is a still serving Taiki Shuttle as a dismount trooper. Umamusume are the only soldiers in this division. ##Equipment: The 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment’s recon units are topnotch, from LRS special forces and M1025 Humvee AGL to West German radar-equipped Green Archer and light Bundesgrenzschutz units. One of the most impressive is the M1A1 ACAV recon tank. Much like its logistical train and supporting arms, the regiment’s mechanized infantry is expensive to deploy but includes Engineers and Dismounted Troopers. The cavalry’s armor is well represented, with more M1A1 Abrams bringing their heavy tank guns to bear. Attack helicopters can likewise be deployed cheaply but are limited to the older AH-1F Cobra and the AH-1F C-Nite with TOW-2 missiles. Flying top cover is the F-16 Fighting Falcon in various loadouts, including the F-16CG with laser-guided bombs. The fearsome A-10 Thunderbolt is on standby to provide devastating close air support.

KINETIC CALCULATION: Damage Formula: Damage = (AP Value - Armor) / 2 + 1 Special Cases: If the target has no armor, the damage is calculated as: Damage = 2 x AP Value ##Examples AP Value: 14 Target Armor: 3 Damage Calculation: (14 - 3) / 2 + 1 = 6.5 Resulting Damage: 6.5 (65% damage) AP Value: 10 Target Armor: 0 Damage Calculation: 2 x 10 = 20 Resulting Damage 20 HEAT CALCULATION: HEAT AP: IF AP difference is < or =10 : (AP - Armor) / 2 +1 = damage ( 6 max ) Then AP difference is >10 : +1AP = +1Damage ##Example: 7 armor 20 heat 20 - 7 = 13AP difference The first 10 extra AP => 6 damage 3 extra AP left => 3 damage 6 + 3 = 9 damage total Accuracy determines if a projectile will hit or miss a desired target. This is to ensure there is some sort of fairness and RNG to battles. Static: This is the accuracy when a unit is not moving, and is typically the highest
