Canada Sponsoring Continued War Games with Ireland

War games will start today at 12:00 server time, but they will be sponsored by Canada and will take place in Newfoundland, Canada. We are not fighting against Canada; we are still fighting Ireland and are defending our ally Canada. Instead of attacking Rhode Island like before, Ireland will instead attack Newfoundland, which will trigger our MPP with Canada and allow us to fight to defend them from Ireland's attack. Because this is not an attack on US soil, there will be no notice on your home page of an attack. You will have to go to the wars page to fight in the war games.

How to Fight in the Ireland vs. Canada War Games

No one has to move to Canada. You will stay and fight from New Jersey or Florida to use the hospitals there to recover your wellness. You can do it 2 ways:

1. Click on this link to fight in war games, or

2. Go to My Places at the top of the screen, then Army and then Active Wars. You will find the war between Ireland and Canada and go to the battlefield.

You won't have to choose which side to fight for - you will automatically fight on Canada's side when you go to the battlefield.

Again, 12:00 today is the time that is scheduled, allowing us 5 fights for today and 5 more fights tomorrow if you are fighting from New Jersey or Florida. Each day, fight to 50 wellness, then go to the battelefield, use the hospital and heal. For fighting instructions, read the Which Button Do I Press article and follow the Wartime instructions. By doing this, after you have healed on the second day, everyone who has fought in these war games will be at or near 100 wellness!
