In my version, I'll have a more realistic approach to uniforms; for example, this is what a Corvun IRL uniform would look like irl because they suffered from a severe shortage of cloth and adequate equipment, so now they will carry whatever they have available or whatever the army provides them, until 1911

This soldier for example is wearing a belt with only 1 large pouch, A winter roll that serves to combat the winter cold; without this, Corvun soldiers would practically die of cold due to the poor fabric of their uniforms, which provides no warmth. This winter roll is also useful for carrying objects inside them, serves as an improvised bed, and protects the user from small pieces of shrapnel, It also carries a canteen so the soldier can drink water.

The Southern Corvus conflict was the first war in which Antares became involved in 1912, beginning the Centauran Wars.

If we analyze the military tactics used in this conflict The main one would be trench warfare or attrition initiated by cetus in the begininng of 1909 And it's understandable because Cetus had lack of men serving in the infantry And somehow they had to stop the Corvun advance without losing so many men

To begin with, the reason I say it was one of the bloodiest wars in Centaura was due to the stalemate between the two countries and the new weapons such as assault rifles, chemical weapons and flamethrowers were first used in this war

As for the condition of the soldiers, in my opinion it was extremely deplorable. Cetus had low morale, the infantry was literally abandoned to their fate at the front because the generals were more focused on exercitus maris, the communication was nonexistent

The soldiers of Corvus were starving to death while fighting or they died of cold because of the poor quality of the uniforms, which offered no warmth.

And the two of them were in trenches filled with mud and dead bodies, Sometimes the supply lines would go down and both sides ate whatever they could find, And the outbreaks of deadly diseases among the soldiers

The chlorine gas managed to break the stalemate for a few moments, but Cetus successfully avoided this, remaining stagnant again. Later cetus launched a counterattack

Thousands of soldiers from both sides died for only 2 meters of land and on the coasts Cetus dominated but this did not contribute to Cetus advances on land

I will also talk about the possible war crimes committed by Corvus (And cetans themselves as revenge) at the beginning of the war, Many civilians died from artillery fire/mortars and the executions to prisoners, This may be true because of the following piece of lore:

"year later, they crossed over the border, with the majority of soldiers fueled by revenge for the suffering the Cetans had inadvertently caused their nation"

This implies that the Corvun soldiers, in a fit of rage, killed captured soldiers as well as civilians in villages, looting them at the same time

The war was not notable for deaths but for brutality, hunger, deplorable hygiene and the state they had the troops in the trenches.

Mental health was also deplorable among soldiers, with many developing mental problems stemming from the brutality of war.

They stolen equipment from the armory and the Chaos Insurgency provided them with assistance.

In TikTok they're still comparing Antares to Nazi Germany btw ✌️

BROOO WHY THE REDDIT POSTS QUALITY ARE SO TRASH

I was lowkey bored so i did this shit, btw this is parody of a Simple History video, and maybe I'll make one about Corvus, Antares, and Aquila.

"The period spanning from late 1910 to 1911 witnessed the most significant casualties and bloodshed of the Southern Corvus War."

Opinions?
