User:Romaioktonos/Hellenistic World War IV

Hellenistic World War Δ, also known as the Hot War or the 100 Years War that took only 7 Years, is a massively bloody war that encompassed most of the classical world. It was in a sense the continuation of the Cold War, as the United States of America Epeiros clashed with the Union of Soviet Makedonian Socialist Republics over things such as the economics, even though there were less differences than what the citizens of each factions saw.

Strategy

Both the Epeirotai and the Makedones were aware of the very close distance between their capitals, and as such they held fierce battles against each other in the Balkans. Despite the Stratarchai's protest from both belligerant factions, the Basileis, Pyrrhos Aiakides and Antigonos Doson decided to attack aggressively, creating a no-man's land along the Mpeles. As the near-trench war reality in the mountain ranges became clear, Pyrrhos took the initiative and decided to bypass the Mpeles, devoting a large force to bypass by taking Thermon. However, the siege failed and Pyrrhos gained no advantage in the Balkans. At the call of Yuki Nagato, who was launching an independence movement against the Makedonian occupation of Aigyptos and the new phase of the war, the Struggle for Anatolia, became an reality. Because Antigonos Doson's economy heavily relied on shipping and transportation by land and sea, the Anatolian bases were utterly important to the Makedonian war machine. Pyrrhos sent both Mio and Lily to take Anatolia by sending an introductory invasion against Mytilene, the capital seat of the province of Lesbos. The Epeirote naval superiority engineered by Eupatros Molossos and the trading conglomerate allowed the logisticians to rest as the Makedonian navy was no match for the Epeirote navy. Pyrrhos then used the superior navy to impose a blockade on the entirety of Hellas, creating a massive shortage and in several cases including that of Athenai, open revolt. However, revolts were quickly quelled and any sentiments were largely nullified when the Epeirote offensives at the mainland Anatolia was vanquished by Colette Brunel and the Gastraphetes, invented by Dionysios I Syrakouson. The Makedonian strategy on the other hand relied solely on their superiority in firepower and land mobility, attempting to blitzkrieg Epeiros' allies and by using scorched-earth strategy, make the war unpopular with the allies and force Epeiros, not entirely powerful or numerous on its own, to capitulate.

History

The Initiation: The Invasion of Epeiros

The rivalry between Epeiros and Makedonia eventually led to the Makedonian ambitions, fueled by the megalomaniac Sailor Mars. Sailor Mars decided that the invasion should take place at the time where defenses would be at its weakest, and Sailor Mars decided that that time would most likely be at January 30, the birthday of Pyrrhos Aiakides. To do that, Sailor Mars dispatches Suzanne Vega, a spy, to Ambrakia since Suzanne Vega doubled as a singer who had a recent hit in Epeiros with the song "Luka." The propaganda in either side was not pleasant, with Epeiros calling Makedonia a land of Satanist communism while Makedonia caling Epeiros a land of heretic sexual deviants.
