From The Shelf

For the citizens too young, for those who would like to remember, I will try to write in numbers the Romanian(Atlantis) campaign in Asia. This article will be poor in numbers but really I promise, I'll make up in the next ones:)

So here it goes:


In that time Romania was occupying almost all Hungary, Ukraine, big parts of Russia(including WSR). Indonesia at the same time was on the verge to erupt as a big empire pushing further and further its borders in Asia, South-Africa and Australia. The big clash was about to happen.

Hungary was experiencing a huge baby-boom, actually doubling their population, thanks to the romanian occupation. They weren't any match for the romanians, until the end of the asian campaign they didn't win any battle one on one against a Romania focused only on them, still the romanian president at that time dsalageanu realized the potential power of the hungarian kindergarten and he tried (even in RL) to somehow get together with the hungarian counterparts.
Of course in that time Hungary attacked Romania (in hungarian occupied original territories) almost daily, but it was like a mosquito would bite an elephant, so to speak.

This was the moment when dsalageanu stated with his "bigger picture" the foundation of the Asian campaign. One could say that he just tried to convince the romanian citizens not to focus on Hungary (many were asking for a total anihilation of Hungary at that time). We will never know what was the reason, but Romania declared war to Indonesia and having common border the War was almost there.

Romania was ready, dsalageanu sent a public letter to the indonesians and their PEACE allies asking them to stay straight and fight!

But what PEACE did wasn't quite the opponents would expect. They started switching the border territories between Iran-Pakistan-Indonesia. They avoided the war using what was called "morisca".
The romanian president was very frustrated but still very impressed by that, he sent another letter and he tried to apply the same strategy in one of the Ukraine controlled territories. He was hoping to create a puppet state, in the case Hungary was making too much noise, to create a "partner" to apply "morisca" with. That RW medal it is still there, you can check it!
The result wasn't quite the expected one, Hungary did a TO and the Ukraine puppet state became a hungarian one. PEACE would say that they eliberated them. Don't believe them, it is just propaganda. They used only in their interest.

Anyways, the indonesians were changing territories like hell (gobba had hard time to keep up with their work) so the romanians didn't have anything else left just to apply the tactics. They promised that to the indos opponents(you will see in the next article).


But when nobody would expect, the indonesians did the unexpected:) and they attacked WSR, the big diamond on the romanian crown!
A little bit earlier the hungarians did their daily job attacking Southern Great Plain.

And now let's the numbers speak:

[6074] Battle of Southern-Great-Plain (06 March 2009, 09:54)

Attacker(Hungary): 2110 fighters
Defender(Romania): 900 fighters

The romanians (fighting 900 against 2000 hungarians) managed to defend Southern-Great-Plain . Still, the late romanian effort should have been used in the next one:

[6077] Battle of Western-Siberia (06 March 2009, 23:25)

Attacker(Indonesia): 1980 fighters
Defender(Romania): 1609 fighters
Score: won by Indonesia

Defender: WP: 436, WP_guns: 532, 16 fighters, DMG: 99506

What was that? They were a little bit more, same power, still their GOLD has spoken very loud.

Maybe was just a fluke?

Not realy!
Next one came shortly after that in order to make their WSR a little bit safer.


[6093] Battle of Northern-Russia (09 March 2009, 23:15)

"They have a lot of money, we have to bring a lot of people!", one thought.


Anyways, this was a big fall back for romanians. Really bad. The media was screaming like hell. We were defeated and nobody expected that. After some time, the president, taking his second turn, got rid of the "bigger picture" and stated his main objective: to take the WSR back!
And he did everything to achieve that. He was one step further than his opponents. He brought in the most powerful allies from Atlantis. He masterminded a plan to switch territories with Norway and
to get the indonesian border back. So he did and on March 20, 2009, 13:01, we had the second battle of WSR, the battle that all the romanians and their allies were expecting it:

[6144] Battle of Western-Siberia (20 March 2009, 13:01)

Attacker(Romania): 2981 fighters
Defender(Indonesia): 2960 fighters
Score: won by Romania
A: -1529747d, 23684f, -64.59d/f
1293419d, 19708f, 65.63d/f

Defender: WP: 2424, WP_guns: 2838, 69 fighters, DMG: 580983

This was a huge victory, the power and finally the number of the fighters were the same, but still Atlantis brought this time the tanking and sacrificing back in his yard. It was joy and everybody was cheering up. Romania and their allies were the best!

Still the "bigger picture" was there in some minds. Got bigger and bigger...
