In a particular Armoured Arachnid, a crew of four is currently operating said vehicle. Amongst them, gunman Alexander Averin was jotting down notes. Bored because of the fact that there was nothing particularly interesting going on, he wrote down everything that happened as a memoir.
"I thought something interesting would've happened by now." He commented audibly so that his comrades could hear. "It's already been two weeks, and it's freezing cold."
Although one could believe it to be stupid for the Union to invade during fall to winter months, they weren't entirely without reason for doing so.
First of all, the northern point where they launched their invasion from was always nearly the same temperature of -5 to -10 degrees. This meant that regardless of season, it was always going to be below freezing temperatures.
