Ostonian 1st Armored Battalion "The HellHounds"


The Ostonian 1st Armored Battalion, also know as the HellHounds, are the oldest and most famous tank battalion in Ostonian history, recieving more than 37 battle honours, they are the most lethal asset in the Ostonian Army.

History
During its conflict with China in 1910, the President of Ostonia ordered for a Tank battalion to be created, and to only be used by members of the Ostonian Army who have proven themselves in battle. The name chosen at that time, was "The Hounds Of Hell". Employed on the frontlines the Ostonian Army soon saw themselves pushing an advantage against China's armies, The HellHounds were to thank for their numerous victories in the war, which ended on December 15th 1910, due to China's waring problems with Japan.

In the Early stages of World War Two, the Hellhounds were suprisingly outmanouvered and outflanked by the German Luftwaffe And the German Heer, most notable was the Ostonian Defeat at Grozny, were a entire seperate division of Hellhound T-34 tanks were outnumbered and wiped out in just three days by combined air and tank attacks. The Ostonian Government ordered all military personel to abandon their posts and retreat home. On the retreat the Ostonian Army took a crippling 59% amount of damage to its entire army, 19% percent of these statistics were POW'S.

But the tables soon turned for Ostonia, in 1944 with the sucessful attack on Normandy, The Ostonian Government saw this as a perfect chance to get vengeance at Germany for their crippling losses, The Soviet Union lended 600 of their tanks to Ostonia and formed a joint Battalion consisting of the HellHound Battalion and the Russian "Red Stallion" Battalion, and made the push into Easter Germany, backed with ton of support from Civilians of the Ukraine, Czechslovakia, France and Norway, The Combined forces made it to Berlin with only few losses.

Cold War and Present Day
After World War Two, the HellHounds were sent to Berlin to Defend the Soviet Union incase of a sudden Allied Attack, however the chance never came, and after the USMC Massacre in Tiravana, the Ostonian Government began to split from the Soviet Union and became a more Imperialistic Country.

On the 22nd July 2008, due to trade deals gone bust with another continent, the Ostonian Government decided to retaliate by invading Dragkaia, the country that began trading, The HellHounds were deployed in Southern Dragkaia, and made quick work of the Dragkaian Army, Victories mounted and the Ostonian Army are expected to come home victors to this war.

Armaments
The HellHounds currently use the British Challenger 2 tank, as its awesome firepower amazed the Ostonian Army.
