Hi. Long-time lurker here, and I know I’ve got a weird username.

I’ve got a warrior meaning to test here, but I can’t find a warrior that could match him. Here he is:



Abd el-Krim and the Republic of the Rif

The Moroccan freedom fighters of the 1920s, Abd el-Krim and his Riffian soldiers engaged in a six-year war against the Spanish in what was to become known as the Rif War in modern-day Morocco in order to maintain an independent Republic of the Rif. While sadly the saying that the “gods are on the side of the big battalions” proved to be true (the Spanish, with the help of the French, managed to eventually overpower him, but at the cost of heavy casualties and severe political backlash), Abd el-Krim and his men managed to hold out for six years, even handing the Spanish disastrous defeats and liberating large parts of Spanish Morocco during the war.

X-FACTORS:

Physicality = Due to living in a harsh desert environment, the Riffians have extremely tough physicality and endurance to survive.

Logistics = They have supply problems, especially ammunition for their weapons and rifles for their soldiers, only a few of their soldiers have access to state-of-the-art weaponry.

<p class="MsoNormal">Terrain Familiarity = Fighting in their home turf increases their effectiveness; this is one of the very reasons why they are able to make the things hard for the Spanish.

<p class="MsoNormal">Experience = Many Riffians have much experience using a firearm even before the war. <ac_metadata title="Warrior SUggestion: Abd el-Krim"> </ac_metadata>
