History

Inception

The Asgarnian Army was created in the mid 17th Century AD by the then Emperor of Asgarnieu. The role of the army was to protect the homeland from constantly invading Arabanian forces. The Arabanians were angered over the emminent domain declared by Asgarnieu, taking their homelands. When the Arabanians began killing innocent civilians, the emperor created a musket-carrying force to destroy the Arabanians. He was successful in destroying them.

Conquests

The Asgarnian Army, after having secured their overall superiority, began taking over unconqured lands. The first conquests were made in the jungles of the east. They took over hundreds of thousands of square miles of new territory. At that point, the cartography group was created to map out the new lands.

Intermediate Phase

The Asgarnian Army experienced an intermediate phase for several years. Between 1842 and 1901, the Asgarnian Army experienced no combat actions. Instead, they trained for all possible scenarios. They developed and built new weaponry, tested new battle techniques, and tried new concepts. They shed the old lines of fire, and developed the tactics that helped them achieve their now great success.

20th Century

By 1920, the Asgarnian Army had recieved its first tank. It was redesigned to carry lighter armaments, thus increasing its speed. By that time, the first tank prototype was obsolete, so Asgarnian Army engineers began designing a newer tank. It was battle-ready within six years. As technology kept increasing, so did the Asgarnian Army's. The Asgarnian Army has a wonderful track record of meeting or exceeding current technology standards. By 1999, the Asgarnian Army was a world-ready force.
