So this is an idea that came to mind last night while listening to stuff from the OST from the Hearts of Iron 4 DLC Waking the Tiger, ironic considering this turned into a Total War based project idea; but I’ve been playing a lot of that lately. But the concept began on the premise of: in Fallout Equestria during its great war, how pervasive would armor be really? At some point they would convert to fatigues out of cost and efficiency. After all you don’t begin fielding large armies in full plate, like the guard from the show. From this and some discussion with some friends it turned into something like the unit cards from the Total War series, the graphical depictions of the units in armies on the game map and when on the battlefield.
 
At some point I may go over to do the same treatment with the Zebra armies but I’m going to finish the Equestrian line first, I guess. The three first cards represent what would basically be the opening roster/selection of the Equestrian Royal Army.
 
To also have some additional fun, unit stats thrown together on the spot:  
___________  
Melee attack: 6  
Melee defense: 2  
Armor: 5  
Charge Bonus: 2  
Reload: <melee>  
Morale: 20  
Soldiers in Unit: 80
 
Produced from: Citadel
 
Description: Upholding the long tradition of the petite-aristocracy of Equestria, the Royal Guard represents the royal core of Equestria and its long - though rarely deployed - martial tradition. Equipped in armor modeled from centuries of tradition and a spear they are the front line of and the central pillar of the Equestrian army. At least, for now.
