Set six years after season 6, Occupied Equestria presents an alternative history where the Changelings have conquered half of Equestria, while a former Equestrian colony - soured to Princess Twilight's notion of harmony with all creatures because of their encounters with griffins - Invaded and took the other half. In Baltimare and the Equestrian Southeast, the magic of friendship has weakened, as Communists, Changeling infiltrators, Fascists, gangs, and corrupt creepy politicians threaten the city. This role play is based in large part upon the Equestria at War mod for Hearts of Iron 4, and uses D&d 3.5e mechanics.
For those on the train. The train goes along at high speeds through the darkness past farmland, trees, and other trains... until it starts to slow down, and comes to a halt.

Didn't realize we were already back at her room.
Silver steps back inside Blue's room, setting his bags and clothing next to the door and holding out a couple of items for Blue in his magic: the letter from Silver Rain, and the picture of the pony in question. Dark grey coat, silvery mane with a single yellow lightning stripe running through it, and he looks like he's in his upper thirties. In the photo, he's wearing a white button-up shirt, a black suit and pants, and is sitting at what looks like some high-class Las Pegasus bar. It also looks like he has something strapped to the underside of his right wing. "Here, I got letter out of bags for you to read. And here is picture of him I have."

In fact I'll do you one better: I'll post the whole thing right here.
The letter reads as follows:
"Hey Dad,
"It's been a while, huh? 20 years? Something around that? I bet you're thinking, 'Who is this asshat who takes 20 years to write home?'. Well, it's me. Rain. Yeah, I know I'm a little late, and I'm sorry. You know, about…all of that. I'm gonna get to that, I promise, it's just…I've had to rewrite this like six times, now, and every time I've thrown it out because I keep on ranting. Well, screw that jazz. I'm not rewriting this a seventh time, so if I rant, maybe it's just because I feel like I need to.
"Anyways, onto the actual letter part of this. I've been having trouble trying to come up with things to write. I'm not as good as either Spec or White with this sort of thing. I'm a good speaker, not a good writer. Oh, uh, speaking of, I met up with lil' Spec and White not too long ago. Maybe a couple months have passed since then. They're doing well, they said. They also said they were happy to see me, it had been so long. We talked about some things. You, uh…you should have been there. You probably would have been, if it wasn't just a thing that happened with no prior warning. Again, sorry about that. Anyways, it's nice to see Spec likes it in the military. To hear him talk about his company, you'd almost believe he and his Hengstwolves could fight off Chrysalis's forces single-hoofedly, even if they are still just one recon company out of hundreds. I guess they are being, or already have been at this point, I guess, redeployed to the Changeling border, up near Vanhoover. He didn't seem worried about it, like he thinks it's inevitable that we'll 'beat the bugs back to the Olenian Ocean'. I wish I had his optimism.
"And White, she hasn't changed a bit: she's still that book-lovin' egghead we all know and love. Well, she might have changed a little. Looks like a little of Spec's joker side has rubbed off on her, or a little bit of his charisma. It's nice to see they remained close after they left home. Might even be their time apart has made their bond stronger. Anyways, she's doing well, too, if a little worried about the whole Changeling situation. I'm not sure if she's worried for herself, Equestria, or Spec being on the frontlines, though. I asked her about what the government's got her doing now, and all she said was 'Oh, you know, stuff. Stuff and things.'. She did say she's barely spending any time at the Mages Guild or Celestia's School, anymore, now that she's been fully committed to the Princesses' research efforts. I guess she can't actually say anything about what they're doing, but I've got some sources that have said some pretty crazy things. Things like a new model of magic rifle to replace the old Luna Nova, new spellbooks for military use, dark and mysterious magics from ancient times. Hell, I even had one say that they're working on 'splitting the atom', whatever that means. Sounds crazy, right?
"Right, ranting again. Sorry. Anyways, they said that you had mentioned me in your letters to them, asking how I was doing. It sounded like you were worried about me, and that you wanted to see me sometime. So, about the reason I'm writing…Dad, I just…wanted to say I'm sorry, for…everything. The terms on which I left by were not the greatest, I'll admit. And…it's not right, how I haven't tried to contact you until now. When Mom died…when I saw Mom, you know, get murdered like that…it changed me. I was weak, and I just couldn't handle it, and I let it change how I thought of the ponies around me. I even blamed you, at one point in my younger life, for her death. It was stupid of me I've since realized. And since, I've been just as stupid in how I've been living. I'm not always proud of the stallion I've become, and the things I've done. You'd be ashamed of me, I bet, just as I'm ashamed in myself. These past few years I've really come to regret those decisions, and it's only gotten worse every day I've been livin' on. And with this whole thing, this threat of war looming over us all…and knowing you'll be out there, risking your life to help Equestria…fearing that you'll…die…I feel like I don't have much time left to…to make things right. There's a lot I need to get off my chest. And so, I'm writing this letter, to tell you…
"I want to get to know my Dad again.
"Look, you can come down to Las Pegasus. I'll set you up with the swankiest room in the whole city, and with the all-expenses-paid Las Pegasus experience! It'll be fun, I swear! I'll even introduce you to a couple of mares I know who would definitely want to make use of your particular experience. But…most of all…I want us to be able to talk, say the things we want to say. You know, before this whole war comes, and…well, you know. Please, just…think about? For whatever we once had, and what I hope we could recover one day.
"Anyways, the Boss just came in, said there's a line forming of customers who are wanting my services. I guess I gotta wrap this up. I hope to hear from you soon."
-Always, your son, Silver Rain

Of all of the reactions Silver could have expected, of all the reactions he could have wanted, this is exactly the opposite of all of them. It takes him a few seconds to realize what she just said, long enough for her to get done, before Blue can start to feel a slowly growing anger radiate off of him. "What?"

"..." Well, the clarification of what she meant certainly does serve to stave off Silver's anger. He looks visibly calmer, even as he rubs the bridge of his snout. "Can you please avoid calling my son 'faggot' in future?"

He’s looking down into a coach car, something like 55 feet length in total not counting the vestibules and bathrooms at the ends. It consists of couch-like red seats that face each other with a space between them, one pair on each side. Two of the partisans are in the coach closer to Brie’s current position. Both seem to be talking to passengers, of whom there are fully around 30 in this car, with postures varying from subdued to enthusiastic. Both have carbines. In a section toward the end of the car are two more partisans, standing to either side of a kneeling prisoner. The prisoner is an older stallion, a Midnight blue Bat pony with charcoal and black mane. He has a pissed off expression on his face (they are facing in Brie’s direction, more or less) and two legs are restrained. Near the prisoner is a lime green Unicorn mare with a tan cap and a beige uniform. She is unambiguously the ranking officer. She is taking to the prisoner, or trying to, anyways. The two guards of the prisoner have carbines and are more alert than the other two. There is some room to walk around, but it is hardly open, and the corridor down the center is at most three feet wide, perhaps more like two feet

It's something along these lines. Remember that the whole car is divided into sections of seats facing each other, and that there are a decent number of civilian passengers

No, tumbling gives him a +3 to AC against whatever they might do. If moving as he is separates him from one of his threatening opponents, they get an attack of opportunity, but that's all on you.

Well, as Silver lays in his makeshift bed, he ends the day on a bit of a lower note. He has discovered that his only living son is infected with the gays, maybe. The stallion he loved has firmly rejected his advances. And the mare he fancied, it turns out, is actually a bit of a cunt.
As for Dark Star - whatever he was feeling before, whatever his train of thoughts - they are probably better now, with Skies cuddled between his legs

Technically speaking, he would have to turn away from the guns in order to engage the opponents immediately to his side. This and the fact that he would be between the partisans and shooters means he is flanked, which denies his dexterity bonus. Since he's trying to get behind the pink pony, he wouldn't have taken a hit to his back, but that's a moot point.
Tl;dr No. Unless all 3 shots missed, or someone else is shooting, the overwhelming probability is that Brie just died.

A thought, but not one immediately validated by Brie's experience.
The Pink pony levels her carbine at the mysterious pony or bug that takes the form of one of her comrades, but does not shoot, at least, not yet. When the shots are heard, the green pegasus stallion behind her dives down into a prone position. She remains up for a second longer, then falls to the ground herself, still looking at Brie, but not able to effectively keep a ready stance. She looks more than a little confused and afraid. This is nothing compared to the white earth pony stallion (civilian) in the seat to the left of Brie, who was already afraid, and now falls on his belly and covers his eyes with his hooves. No shattering of glass nor thud accompanies the sound of the gunshots, which sound like they are coming from outside. The Lime green unicorn remains standing, and looks out the window to her left
"Sentries are under attack!"

If that's how you want to play it
Unwilling to see if he's been shot or how badly, Brie seizes on the pumping adrenaline coursing through his body, turns, and plants both his daggers into the Lime Green officer's face.
not literally going for the face, just posturing

Do you mean he throws them at her? The only pony within easy melee range is the pink mare, although the stallion behind her is a 5 foot step away

Because of the seats, Brie has the option of ducking and thus going out of line of sight for all but the two ponies near him, and actually probably even the stallion behind the pink mare couldn't see him

One hit, one miss. This should count as sneak attack damage as she was looking out the window to her side when Brie threw the knives. He may fall with a move action, as the pink pony tries to pick up her carbine and position it.

Well, Brie absolutely won intiative, allowing him to act before the peaved pink probe partisan pony pulls her gun into position on the ground

Obviously, but the length of time it takes to activate/change his appearance is a very crucial element to how he proceeds

If he has time to before grappling the pink pony, yes; he's changing his disguise into that of the pink pony.
Otherwise/afterward, he's grappling.

Disguise items are listed as giving a +10 to disguise attempts, he has 0 ranks in disguise, and his charisma modifier is -1. Rolling to start grapple (basic attack roll that disregards opponents armor bonus). Since pink is prone she gets a -4 to AC, but so is Brie (who gets -4 to attack). So, rolling to grab pink against whatever her modified AC is.

Okay, there is no way she is beating that. Brie has her grappled, and she has no light weapon with which to attack him. The stallion across from her and Brie is able to get his gun, but cannot do much but remained ready in absolute confusion at... basically everything. The other two guards are not visible to Brie from this angle.

Spark makes sure the changelings are safely hidden back in their room and drags the crystal bartender inside to keep them out of trouble. He then advances forward to see what kind of trouble the bat got into.

Well, Brie isn’t in his room, the two changelings still can’t speak the language (but also don’t attack Spark). He would find a dead body in the dining car... but no sign of Brie yet

Spark decides that since stealth is blown anyway, he might as well take out his pistol that was not confiscated last I recall as he steps closer and closer to the gunfire.

Eh, fair enough. It's your universe. I can introduce or suggest ideas, but it's your decision on what to implement and how.
White Light is most definitely alive, though whether she's hiding out in Equestria, captured/recruited by New Mareland, or escaped somewhere else could be debated.

I don't know what happens to the divisions station at the border at the beginning of a two-front Great War - whether they are encircled and destroyed, pushed back with heavy losses, pushed back with few losses, or are redeployed to other fronts when those open up

I was thinking option D and that the division his Recon Company was attached to was redeployed to the Eastern Front, but option B and C are also likely. I'm not sure on option A. If this is the AI Changeling Lands, then it's only after a complete breakdown of the Equestrian lines from a lack of ponypower that troops seem to get encircled.

>Equestria ever, under any circumstances, running low on Manpower
The Changelings always make a little advance (unless they make no advance) then stall, then either the war drags on indefinitely in stalemate, or start to lose. It's when a naval invasion takes place that they start to advance... Which I guess implies that the key is troops being redeployed elsewhere

It honest to god happened in the game I'm currently in the middle of. Equestria stalled the war for about a year before they ran completely out of ponypower.

If I was in a situation where I was getting shot at, I would be on edge for attackers that start running up on me. There is a better chance of them not hearing me sneaking over the gun fire... at least I think so.
