[[File:Iron Battle Hoe.png|alt=Image of a Gen 3. Battle Hoe|thumb|A Double Handed Gen. 3 Battle Hoe (Drawn by [[Izzy Blu]])]]The Battle Hoe is a mostly Cresvlitsin based weapon, with its origins in Hoes, gardening tools commonly used by the peasantry. First used by the Socialist army during the Cresvlitsin Crisis, it was adapted and soon adopted by the Cresvlitsin army as its weapon of choice, due to it fitting into the Cresvlitsin plans. Ever since then, it became the symbol of Cresvlitsin presence, wherever the Battle Hoe was.
== Origins ==
Following the regrouping of the Socialist and Democratic forces in the nearby forests, a weapon shortage hit the Socialist army hard. Due to their high numbers, they had a hard time arming the volunteers and as such they needed to find a compromise. This came in the form of the Battle Hoes. Converted gardening tools, this was the perfect compromise and the perfect weapon of the Worker. The first generation saw makeshift battle hoes, with reinforced heads and/or sharpened heads. The concept was amazing, however how they were used was problematic. The Socialists used human wave tactics and the hoes were used as heavy hit weapons, this resulting in giant numbers of casualties. However the Cresvlits Army saw how good the Battle Hoes were, when used effectively.

As Cresvlits needed them to be used effectively, the General Staff devised Hit and Run tactics for the Hoes and when in direct combat the were specialists in crushing skulls, being able to punch through most helmets used. However they became redundant as more improvements were needed.[[File:The St. Joachim Archipelago Bastion.png|left|thumb|600x600px|The St. Joachim Archipelago Bastion (the base of operation of the CBEC)]]
== The Third Generation ==
The best and last generation at the moment of writing, it improved the many logistical problems that the second generation had. These improvements came at a time of need, when a turn in Prospitian politics happened. There were also more variations of the weapon.

''"The Future of the Battle Hoes is bright, as the current developments show. It's just a question of how good will they turn out and how much dedication will they receive. The future of a possible international market model, also hangs on this success, as we might see some interesting ideas being brought up for that purpose.

=== "Staindall" ===
A Gen. 3 Battle Hoe created by Armand Staindall, its head is coated in coal, it basing its main attack on a chemical reaction, igniting the coal, burning the person who the Battle Hoe struck alive. Barbaric, but effective, the Battle Hoe saw combat only in testing, and was at one point held at ceremonies by Armand. Dangerous, at some point it was put in a secure vault in Donslau. It, however was taken out and used to protect the initial refugees fleeing Donslau for [[Coldfront]], and ever since the "Staindall" Battle Hoe was lost to time.
