![[moravian-guard.png]] *Added to the Codex on* ***October 10th, 2023*** --- ### Quotes "Local resistance fighters, the Moravian Guard, have been all that stands in the way of a new push west."[^1] - Reed "The Moravian Guard have something their enemies do not: hope. It is why they will win in the end."[^2] - Falck "I've seen them in action - tough bastards."[^3] - Boris <br> ### Description An ex-Czechian military battalion founded the Moravian Guard in the 2040s in response to the Eastern Forces' invasion of their territory. As fighting in the cities intensified, the Guard migrated from urban centers and took shelter in the wilderness from where they would go on to wage a guerrilla-style campaign. Utilizing their survival skills to live off the land, their clothes and gear reflect this rugged, outdoor existence. Rank and seniority are expressed by adornments such as wolf and boar skulls as well as blood-red face paint - symbols of dread for the Guard's enemies who dub them "The Cutters" due to their savage combat tactics. Secretly funded by U.S. intelligence, the Moravian Guard's latest operation takes place in [[Reclaimed|Zlín, Czechia]] where Eastern Forces are transporting heavy armor. After sabotaging a train route and causing a massive crash, war with Eastern Forces' partner [[Nova Group]] has begun in earnest as they vie to re-establish this vital transport link.
