Rovski-Zaporizhian Separation

The Rovski-Zaporizhian Separation was a civil war fought between the Rovsnoski in the north west and the  Yarovars in the south east. The war caused the separation of the United Provinces of Rovsnoska and Zaporiziah, a communist state that had been in disrepair and poverty for the last 20 years, the remnants of which formed Zaporiziah. A key part of the war was a lack of operational aircraft on both sides, leading to a war fought much more traditionally.

Background
In the late-1970s, the UPRZs oil resources were beginning to decrease at an accelerating rate and, by 1984, exploration and production had virtually ceased. The termination of this industry, which played a central role in the economic output of the United Provinces, had a devastating impact on the state's economy. The failure of the government to prepare for such adversity resulted in a famine and humanitarian crisis in 1993 which, according to some estimates, claimed the lives of over 40,000 Rovsnoski-Zaporizhians.

Zaporizhian Forces
UPRZ 1st Army

Being the second largest fighting force and the most organized of the communists, The 1st Army was vital for helping with logistics of the Revolutionary People’s Army. The 1st Army was the main fighting force of the former UPRZ, therefore it has the most armor and munitions of all the communist forces. The majority of operations of the 1st Army included providing armor support for the People’s Army, blitzkrieg esque attacks, transportation, and moving in after a People’s Army human wave attack. After the civil war the 1st army was fused with the People’s Revolutionary Army. A large reason for the 1st Army sticking with Zaporhia is the fact that the soldiers were made up of many slavic minorities and communists, which the Rovsnoskis had been committing war crimes against.

The People's Revolutionary Army

The Red Army, or more commonly known as the Red Army, was the bulk of the communists fighting force. The majority of the soldiers in the Red Army were conscripts, simply given a rifle and uniform without training, and sent straight to the front lines. Around 1996 the Red Army began to better organize themselves and begin mass training, this lowered the amount of soldiers, but created a more effective fighting force. Up until 1996 human wave tactics were used against the fascist with large amounts of casualties, but after 96’ the Red Army began more conventional tactics, spearheading the communists.

UPRZ 4th Artillery Regiment

After hostilities broke out heavy shelling of northern villages followed, most of these shellings were done by the UPRZ's 4th artillery regiment. Due to oil shortages, most airplanes were out of service except for the exception of the UPRZ Airforce and Rovsnoski Grenadiers,this caused a new focus on artillery for preemptive strikes. The 4th Artillery Regiment also had a notable amount of tanks. The 4th Artillery Regiment also had an armored train used for artillery strikes and supply transportation.

UPRZs Airforce

The UPRZs Airforce fought mostly for the communists with a few squads defecting in 1994, but due too fuel shortages and most planes being destroyed in the first couple days of the war only the first air brigade saw fighting, with very little dog fighting and more groundsrikes using the Saab 37 viggen, able to take off from road bases. The only other aircraft used in the war were AN-12 transport planes and two TU-95 bears, for strategic bombing of Krevnigrad. In early 1999 the UPRZ Airforce started to become obsolete due to oil shortages, and their oil reserves were transferred to the 4th Artillery Regiment and the 1st Army.

Guerrilla Fighters

Guerilla fighters were highly active throughout the duration of the civil war up untill the early 2000s. The guerrilla fighters ideology ranged from following that of the UPRZ to sects of Anarchism. Guerillas would routinely attack Rovsnoski supply lines and bases, with their effectiveness ranging from well armed and trained guerilla groups to unskilled and under equipped fighters who would either flee at the sight of enemies or have devastating losses. Guerilla fighters would continue attacks in Rovsnoska until 2006 when it was reported the last remnants were killed.

The Foreign Brigade

A relatively small and under equipped fighting force, the Foreign Brigade was made up of foreign volunteers who saw this civil war as an opportunity to spread communism and prevent the reemergence of fascism. The Foreign Brigade was put at the frontlines most of the time, this was due to the Zaporizhian high command not wanting their foreign or seperate views on communism to spread to their troops, causing high fatalities.

Rovsnoski Forces
Legionary Guard

The Legionary Guard served as the elite combat troops for the fascists. Members of the Legionary Guard underwent longer training and much more propagandization then the other fascist combatants, this resulted in them being some of the fiercest and fanatical soldiers in the war. The legionary guard worked alongside the UPRZ 3rd Army Remnants until they were combined after the 3rd Army's massive losses after the siege of Pochinki. The extra armor from the 3rd Army alongside the generals of the guard proved very effective.

Rovsnoski Grenadiers

The Rovsnoski Grenadiers were a unit comprised of Rovsnoski nationalists from foreign nations coming to fight for independence. The majority came from the Kingdom of Versonnex and Yarova. A large portion also came from Poja, Thallaky, and Gardarike. These soldiers were mainly given equipment from the Kingdom of Versonnex due to their aid being mainly directed to this unit and most of the volunteers came from the Kingdom. This meant that their equipment was the most up-to-date and best quality.

UPRZ 3rd Army Remnants

The UPRZ 3rd Army Remnants were a combination of the UPRZ 3rd Army and remnants of other mainly Rovsnoski units that joined together to fight for the fascist, unlike other former UPRZ units such as the 1st Army. They were the main fighting force for the fascists, having the most armor and men, up until after the siege of Pochinki in 1996 when they were merged with the Legionary Guards after massive losses. After the end of the war the UPRZ 3rd Army was brought out of the control of the Guard to form the Rovsnoski Army.

Miscellaneous Forces
UPRZ Secret Police

Up until 1996 the UPRZs Secret police were still operating in what became Rovsnoska, they provided vital intel to the UPRZ's Scattered armies in the north. They also used torture and other ruthless tactics to get information, further giving the fascists support. In 1996 about half of the secret police defected to the communists after being forced to commit multiple war crimes. Those who left began to run a terror campaign for the communists against those unwilling to work with the communists. The remnants of the Secret Police who remained in Rovsnoska became the Legionary Secret Police, but were much less active during the civil war then the communist secret police.
