MAJOR WARS

The Hundred-Hour War
Before

After


Belligerents: France, Canada, Germany vs. UK
Results: Maybe it took a bit more than a hundred hours, but chalk up a win for Terra! Even with oodles of ONE support, the UK never won a single battle after Canada's botched invasion, getting swept from Northumberland to London, with rarely anything close to a legitimate defense ever showcased. With ONE forces busy in Serbia, it doesn't seem as if a rescue force is coming in the near future.

Winner (campaign): France, Germany

Portuguese Resurgence
Before

After


Belligerents: Portugal vs. Spain
Results: It looks as if Spain has finally gotten their act together. After an embarrassing display for the first two weeks, Spain has finally managed to push back Portugal to merely Lisboa. Although Spain has the upper hand, don't count out the Portuguese yet. But this week definitely belonged to the Spaniards.

Winner (this week): Spain
Winner (campaign): Portugal

Breakdown of the Serbian Empire
Before

After


Belligerents: Croatia, Greece, Italy, Albania vs. Serbia, Montenegro, FYROM
Results: The liberation of beloved Bosnia started a massive war of liberation on a scale not seen since the ATLANTIS attack on France. Even my previous article on attacking Serbia hadn't counted Greece in the mix. And with seven fronts to worry about, Serbia is hemorrhaging lands at an alarming rate, even losing to their NE Croatia.

Second paragraph!? Elsewhere, in Albania, FYROM has seized control over all Albanian provinces, yet Albania itself is still up and running, taking Montenegro hostage and putting just enough men as cover to prevent getting wiped. With only a single province left for Albania to run to, it looks like it may be it for the Albanians, but don't count them out yet. They're troopers.

Winner (this week): Croatia, Greece, Italy, Albania
Winner (campaign): Croatia, Greece, Italy, Albania

Romanian War of Unification
Before

After


Belligerents: Romania vs. Hungary, Slovenia
Results: With the Ukraine fiasco settled, it's turned into a bloodbath between fierce rivals Romania and Hungary. With Romania and Hungary swapping provinces but never gaining any ground, it looked like a war without end, until Slovenia attacked Western Transdanubia, liberating the province and suddenly putting Romania on the defensive. With most forces in Serbia, can Romania hold its own against two formidable nations?

Winner (this week): DRAW
Winner (campaign): Romania

Swedish Reconquest of Bohus
Before

After


Belligerents: Russia vs. Sweden
Results: Russia decimated Swedish troops. Sweden was on its last rung, with only its German colonies under its control. It was time for a peace deal. Russia could demand everything and the kitchen sink. So for a glorious victory, you...only take Bohus!? Although Russia did come out as the clear victor, the peace deal was incredibly favorable to the Swedes, who would've been happy just to stay in Scandinavia. A wasted opportunity, no?

Winner (campaign): Russia

Until next time, take care!
