Background
the 7th Imperial Panzer Griffon Division or also called the 7th Imperial Panzer Division , was founded sometime after the rise of the Emperor Karl franz to power , after the formation of the Griffon Order , the great motion of production inside the huge factorys of Reikland industry becoming greater with the good management and rule of Karl Franz and great and new tecnological and manufacturing weaponry by the College of the Engineers of the empire , the emperor ordered the creation of an new kind army for the empire , the panzer divisions.

seven of those divisions were created , the idea camed from the College of Engineers , combined with new ideaslitic minds of high ranked officers inside the own and now professional army of the Empire under the watch of the Emperor Karl franz , this divisions were going to have their name in relation to the extended use of steam tanks , an cheaper version of it , compared to the 8 unique steam tanks , but however still very expensive and be one of the times the empire mostly expended money for military purposes for one single thing.

each one having your own military doctrines and own culture by inside their organization .

the panzer divisions afforded to have turned the tide several times of the battlefield in the name of the Empire and helping the dwarfs allys and as well elves and even being the spear and brought sometime of great peace for the three realms once have broken and totaly disrupted sometimes the destruction forces .

however with the time , the heavy losses , the bad use of some of this divisions by corrupted commands consumed by greedy and hunger for power (giving headche for the inquisition), expensive technical problens taht could not afford to be easily repaired and others problens that as well camed to the point to make the mind of Karl Franz to never again create/found new divisions of it , managed to make only one single division remaining still operating , the 7th Imperial Panzer Division.

under the command of Heraclios , that from rank of an captain when assumed the first 'seeds' of the division , raised to Field Marshal , managed to make just the opposite in the history of the division compared to what happened to the others 6 panzer divisions , the 7th Imperial Panzer Division is still operating and has been not disbanded .

with the time , dwarfs and elves started to be recruited to the division and then the division was not just formaly linked with the Griffon Order , but now formaly linked with the Shinning Guard and as well the OathBearers .

organization

what managed to make the division slipt into one regiment with fixed base in the empire , one at the dwarfs and one at the elves frontlines and as well listening posts to recruit at each place , with one regiment for taking care of the headquarters and one to act as an mobile force was the point of being unique , with demands from all the realms for the works of the same.

Nicknames of the regiments:
1º Regiment , called 'the guardians' , by the work as guarding the Headquarters of the division.
2º Regiment , called ' defenders ' , by the works in the frontline of the empire.
3º Regiment , called ' dark elves purgers' , by the works in the Elves frontline .
4º Regiment , called ' ork hunters' , by the works in the Dwarf frontline.
5º Regiment , called 'panzer elite' , by the huge experience in mobile warfare with use of steam tanks.

the Division from the seven that were created , is the one that mostly lack in the magical part in the use of wizards in combat , however , compensating this disavantage, have huge amount of weapons of fire and new technology in the use of explosives and gunpower in general , having extremaly tighly relations with the College of the Engineers , the Reikland Factorys and the dwarfs Karaks , in special the Karaz-A-Karak and Karak Ungon for military tecnological development purposes.

units

the division has an great tecnology study by inside about improvements to be maked in the part of the artillary and the extensive use of cannons.

other important unit to be maked mention is the 'cheaper' steam tank used by the division , called Panzer IV.

originally it has been created by the College of the Engineers and the manufacturing by the reikland factorys.

and others uniforms sets.

military doctrine and culture.

open mind , speakers of military matters , flexible and versatiles in the speak of military strategies and tatics , the 7th Imperial Panzer division soldiers are with the pass of the time are always in search to train their own skills and having quality and more quality after quality in the military manners , the achievement of the 'perfecionism' in military terms and as well in all areas of militar doctrines are the common goal of the entire division.

their military doctrine is extremaly flexible/versatile , what lies they can act from very small escale groups to great groups depending on the situation , using special ops operation tatics , surprise factors and as well ambushers to to attrition combatents .

tatics and strategys employeds by each of the regiment are always dated and sended to the HQ headquarters to be studied and be guarded in the library .

the relation of superior and inferior officers and of soldiers are mostly of allowing space to the inferior officers give ideas acting in the way they prefer , essentialy into an commoradism /democratic organization , but always the superior officers will want their tasks accomplished in the most 'perfect' way possible that can be describle into military part , minimal consume of resources , minimal losses and soldiers wounded and more speed in accomplishing the tasks and as well the great use of criativity and inteligence in military purposes will always make the superior officer happy with the development of the inferior officers and as well from the soldiers(but that does not mean satisfied , and usually is hard or even impossible make an officer of the 7th Panzer division satisfied) , the officers always search to be truly motivators to win for the troops and boost their morales but of course always holding the realism for the situations happening but at the same time turned also to optimism , however sometimes(altrough hard to happen) can have pessimism combined with frustation by the part of the officers depending in the conditions of the situation during the combat.

are always huge discussion of military matters , tatics and strategys by each regiments and in the common entire division by it self , military theorys , supposed and realistic , ideas for strategys and tatics are always welcomed .

during the military service , the soldiers of the 7th Panzer Division are usually cold and calculists , man of not much speak , impartial , always searching to combine and unite the forces of order into a common cause , extramaly patient and have disgusting for undisciplinated behavior .

aggressive in the offense , stunborn in the defense , are extremaly adaptable to the changes of the situations and circumstances in the battlefield , even more when lack supplys , food , munition and weapons.
