    I always like it when imperial guard regiments get to describe one another. 11 mins in and i''m really enjoying it. will edit this comment once i go through the whole story.
    It took me awhile but this is actually related to that novel 15 Hours. No wonder the author and the setting seemed familiar. especially when the drpship arrived.
    Edit: that farting burrping bit at 47:40 was quite a fun event after a big battle

    Thankyou, this was a real treat and an excellent return to form! This one really drives home the dystopian horror of service with the Guard... TEN YEARS in theatre?! :O I can't imagine the relief cycle is remotely reasonable either - the story doesn't even hint at how many days they spend in this trench line before they get rotated into support (most likely in cellars in that ruined city) or whatever passes for 'rest' billets on this ruined world...

    You’re back! Great news!
    Have you ever played around with the various AI drawing / painting programs?
    It takes awhile to get used to it, I’m still messing with them.
    But you can make custom pictures of your own images to your stories.
    Type in the description of the Lieutenant and I bet you could get a pretty good idea of what he would (ish) look like for the story.
    They can be tricky to work with. I was making a picture of a soldier on horseback waving a flag with a bull’s head picture (or some such description), and it made a picture of a horse with a cows head, a multi-fingered cowboy wearing a helmet with a giant brim on it, and waving a distorted American flag. So, that didn’t work out.
    Welcome back!
