Herrenbucht Civil War (OOC, preparation, very WIP)
« on: May 26, 2018, 06:06:14 PM »
The Factions


Name: Räterepublik Herrenbucht (Soviet Republic of Herrenbucht)
Leader: Georg Gasan

Anthem: Einheitsfrontlied https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5X2BvMS4yQ
Population: approximately 20 million

Background information: The Soviet Republic of Herrenbucht was proclaimed by Georg Gasan shortly after the riots in Wateringas broke out. Most labour unions and socialist militias gave their support for the SRH immediately. In a matter of hours the militias overran the military base in Wateringas, which they had infiltrated beforehand and started conquering the surrounding coastal areas. The SRH effectively rules half of the Herrenbuchtian population right now. Most political decisions inside the SRH are made by the quickly appointed government and its chairman Georg Gasan. Local administration is left to military councils composed of militia soldiers and former soldiers of the Ducal army who switched sides.

Military information: While SRH has manpower it lacks good equipment. During "the miracle of Wateringas" the revolutionaries managed to seize control of the Wateringas military base but much of the equipment was damaged or even sabotaged by the Ducal soldiers to make it useless. Also a big part of the stationed airforce managed to escape to the south. The SRH was able to achieve its initial victories through guerilla attacks with a massive infantry, but they have no possibility to fight in the gigantic valleys of the south east. They are able to throw men into the fight but what they need is equipment an leaders with military experience. Their massive bonus is that they control the coast and most of the navy, therefore they can always receive supplies.





Name: Republik Herrenbucht (Republic of Herrenbucht)
Leader: Lisbeth Kerner

Anthem:   Die Gedanken sind frei (Thoughts are free)
Population: approximately 14 million


Background information: The Republic of Herrenbucht was proclaimed a few hours after the proclamation of the SRH. The movement that proclaimed it is a group of liberal politicians who call themselves the "Freidenkerkreis" (Circle of Free Thinkers). While they initially supported the strikes they were shocked by the proclamation of the SRH since they had a liberal democracy as the new system for Herrenbucht in mind and did not want to side with socialist revolutionaries. They have broad popular support in the northerns regions of Herrenbucht and managed to conquer a big chunk of Herrenbucht without any bloodshed. 


Military information: The Republic only has a small army consisting of a few illoyal members of the Ducal Army and citizen militias. A possibility to improve the Republics chances for a victory is situated in the middle of its territory. The military headquarters of Melkheim offer massive stockpiles that could be used to arm the citizens of the republic, however the forces are not able to crack the fortress. While the soldiers inside the headquarters remained loyal they did not attack the new Republic that surrounds them now yet. Without massive help the Republic will probably be crushed by one of the other factions. The socialists already declared war on them and would probably launch an offensive to take the rest of the coast and then invade the northern territories. The Duxists might use the troops stationed in Melkheim, as soon as they decide what to do the with Republic.




Name: Duxisten (Duxists)/Herzogtum Herrenbucht (Duchy of Herrenbucht)
Leader: Duke Philipp V

Anthem:   Der Gott der Eisen wachsen ließ
Population: approximately 8million


Background information: After the government lost control over the Wateringas area, Duke Philipp declared martial law. The people loyal to him call themselves the Duxists. Technically the Duxist regime is the legitimate government of Herrenbucht, however it is questionable if their claim will be taken seriously. The Duxists currently control the rural and mountainous areas in the south west of Herrenbucht.

Military information: Duke Philipp still controls the lion share of his military. The 3rd, 4th and 5th army were able to dig in along the rivers Weltel and Heese, however they have one problem: They do not control any coastal areas, therefore they have problems receiving supplies. If all offensives against the revolutionaries fail the Duke's troops might be starved out. The 2nd Army in Melkheim is an encircled and awaits orders, however all channels of contact have been disrupted by the Republicans. The Duke can only hope that they will make the right decision and attack the city, although they probably would not do this without qualms.
