FREE ERUSEA ARMY


Background:
The Free Erusea Army is professedly one the most powerful and formidable armed forces on the Usean Continent.

Since the 'Ulysses Strike' news was published in 1996, the entire Usea Continent was becoming cautious as knowing the situation would cause negative effects to resonate through the continent. While the FCU felt responsible for this and began to develop the National Missile Defense (NMD) in cooperation with neighboring countries. Tensions between FCU and Erusean forces had flared. Erusea had become a dominant power throughout the Usea Continent. Erusea ignored United Nations orders to stand down, and continued increasing its military power.

In 1999, the Ulysses passed the Roche Limit, and the impact was severe, especially for Erusea whose people died and suffered economical ruin. 4 years after the Ulysses meteor struck, Erusea planned to overpower all the countries and conquered the entire continent to regain what they had lost 4 years prior. In August 2003, Erusian forces gained their first strike on the neutral nation, San Salvacion, who owned the large rail guns, called Stonehenge. They started to occupy the entire capital city of San Salvacion, by sending in army forces. Many soldiers, tank battalions, anti-tank helicopters, and other reinforcements were placed and dispersed in this area. They also placed their force to guard Stonehenge. As a response to this threat, ISAF (Independent States Allied Forces) was formed and started to send their forces to take Stonehenge back from the Erusians. However, the assault failed as the Erusian army had prepared ground forces and Stonehenge for combat and made the advancing ISAF armies retreat to North Point. This was the beginning of the Continental War.

As ISAF prepared full-scale forces from their GHQ, Erusian forces had occupied the entire continent. The Erusian Army strengthened their troop and tank forces on the coastal beaches, San Salvacion, Farbanti, and Whiskey Corridor as the final defense line. As the ISAF forces became more organized, Erusian forces struggled all through the war, and officially surrendered on September 29th, 2005, bringing an end to the Continental War.

The threat was not over. 1 year later, in 2006, some nationalistic Erusean officers and loyal troops calling themselves "Free Erusea" took over a munition factory and a lot of military equipment. Operation Katina was launched by ISAF to stop the threat. The rebel army was quickly annihilated.

The rifle's definitely European in origin; I think Austrian. Lemme go look it up.

[EstovakianHarrierPlus]

MMM, is that a Magnum sniper rifle I see?

[viperzerof-2]

the army units were are they from?

[EstovakianHarrierPlus]

Is this a Magnum Sniper Rifle? Like the one in CS.

[Cerberus]

I don't think its an AI Acrtic Magnum, from the looks of it I'm guessing its PGM Ultima Ratio Hecate II.

From what i can gather from the scope, magazine, muzzle brake, bipod and what little i can see of the stock. that's my guess.

But then, are the Erusian Armies using the .50 cal. Hecate II, or the .338 Mini-Hecate?

[EstovakianHarrierPlus]

Probably the 50.cal.

I'm sorry Rodd. But it's written as .50, not 50. Hence the name Point Fifty

[EstovakianHarrierPlus]

Whoops.

[Roaches]
