TinyTown Reds

Created in 1907 by Phil McCracken aka General TinyTown Red, the TinyTown Reds are TinyTowns most feared force, and served as an elite paramilitary special forces unit, typically charged with high valued operations, state security, or protection of important figures or property

ORIGINS

Following the Cracketeerian War in 1905, the government of TinyTown had respected the determination, uniforms, and leadership that the rebel TinyTown Crackateers had, and especially were quite fond of Phil McCracken. In 1907, the TinyTown Reds were officially created, as a small group of 250 men and served as guards for the Tinii. Their most notable accomplishment was in 1918 when 3 TinyTown Reds had prevented a raid on the Tinii Estate on Charity Island, gaining their trust by the Tinii family. In 1921, they were greatly expanded upon and turned into a genuine fighting force, with a total number count of 15,000 men.

FIRST WAR

The first conflict the TinyTown reds fought was overseas in Cairo. In 1925, the Kingdom of Sicily launched an invasion into Egypt against the HRE. At this time, the HRE and TinyTown were allied, and the TinyTown Reds were gathered to fight. During the first battle of Cairo, the Sicilian army of 4,500 were beaten back by the TinyTown Red army of just 2,500, gaining them immense respect by the Tinii, HRE, and even Sicily, who shortly pulled out of Egypt and signed a peace treaty with Francis.

NSTP REVOLT

The TinyTown Reds for many decades after the battle of Cairo had remained at peace, with only small conflicts and minor Flabian Revolts against smaller powers, however in 2024 Phil McCracken was ordered to shut down Wilhelm von Potsdam's speech in Caseville. Minutes later, the TinyTown reds saw a group of people and assumed they were armed and began opening fire. Many died that afternoon, and returning home, Phil McCracken supposedly offered compensation, however it was never replied to by Potsdam. The Reds were beaten at a surprise raid at a Yellow Smart Car factory, but grew in numbers and won again in the battle of Marine City. Following this victory, McCracken had a massive parade and expected the NSTP to surrender after such a crushing defeat, however he was soon alerted that the NSTP was attempting to siege Caseville. McCracken had a small garrison, and a few fresh troops, and after a small skirmish, had sent the NSTP back into the forests, and the siege was lifted.

McCracken had already begun planning a peace treaty, as it was clear the TinyTown Reds could easily defeat Potsdam little militia. However, after many short battles, the TinyTown Reds began losing ground and men, and the tides of war changed to favor Potsdam. Shortly after, McCracken received word that Lapeer fell, and now Potsdam's army was rapidly taking land. McCracken tried to maintain control, however things began to slip, and he was forced to retreat into Caseville.

ROYAL SLUGS

Not long after McCracken was in Caseville, word was received that the Royal Slugs declared war and were moving in at alarming rates. McCracken fled into his personal bunker and hid for several weeks, re-emerging to a destroyed TinyTown. McCracken helped to rebuild the Town, but Francis was soon to come

HRE INVASION

Pope Francis declared war and almost as quickly as he declared, his troops were moving in at alarming rates. At Bay City, during the main battle the Reds fought, they attempted to protect Tinious McBergenstein, but the HRE was too powerful, and the city fell. McCracken was later captured and was hung publically by Pope Francis. 

The TinyTown Reds no longer had a leader, and once the invasion was over, most of the TinyTown Reds surrendered to Francis and became Catholics, with many enlisting in the HRE or going into hiding, however many had fled to YoogleSnailvia to continue work there. But after the fall of Tiny, the Reds were dissolved entirely, and will slowly fade into obscurity
