Boot Camp: Basic War-Fighting for New Citizens
Eugene Harlot
Many new citizens want to know how they can fight in support of America. Below is the simplest, most direct information for raw recruits and untrained civilians to gain wellness, experience and boost productivity through combat.
1. Know yourself.
You must be at least Level 5 and have a minimum health of 40% to fight in a battle.
2. Know your weapons.
Weapons increase your damage. The higher the weapon, the higher the damage increase. YOU DO NOT NEED A WEAPON TO FIGHT. You can fight bare-handed in any battle and you still receive the same experience and wellness benefits.
To fight, go to the active war page. Look for wars that have active battles and click on details. Then click on "Go to Battlefield" This will take you to the battle page. Click the big "FIGHT" button in the middle of the screen.
EACH FIGHT USES ONE WEAPON. So be smart and buy what you can afford.
Each fight reduces your wellness by 10 points. Each fight gives you 2 exp.
But most importantly, fighting, even once, gives you access to a hospital, if one is in your region.
3. Know your region.
Before considering to fight, know the war resources available in your state. Next to your name in your citizen profile is the region of the eUSA where you reside. Clicking on that link will give you vital statistics for your home state. The only one of consequence for this discussion is that you know if your region has a hospital and what quality that hospital is.
4. Know your hospital
Hospitals heal war wounds (loss of wellness) on the same server day as any fighting. You recover 10 wellness for every level of quality of the hospital you use. YOU CAN ONLY USE A HOSPITAL ONCE PER DAY. If the region you reside in has no hospital, move to Florida or New Jersey. The highest quality hospitals in the eUnited States are in Florida and New Jersey. They are Q5, meaning they recover 50 wellness points. A Q4 heals 40, Q3 heals 30, etc. The more you can heal, the more you can fight.
IMPORTANT TIP FOR NEW CITIZENS: You don't need to lose 50 wellness to get 50 wellness from the Q5 hospital. If you are at 40 wellness and fight once, you will have 30 wellness. You can use the Q5 hospital to increase your wellness 50 points to 80. That means the next day you can fight more and your productivity at work will increase significantly. That means America becomes more efficient at producing goods, which means lower costs, more profits and higher salaries.
HOW TO USE A HOSPITAL After you have fought to the level you want to heal, then go to the battle page and under the fight button is a "Hospital" button, this will take you to your region's hospital. Next to the word "Hospital" is a small blue "Heal" button. Press this to use the hospital. Alternatively, you can reach the hospital by going to your region page by following the link for your region next to your name on your profile page.
5. Know your limits
Each battle lasts 24 hours of server time. So you should be able to fight twice in a battle. You are more effective (if you are lower wellness) to use the first day to increase your wellness and the second day to fight fully.
DO NOT "OVER-FIGHT" Example: Day 1 you are 50 health, you are in Florida. You fight once. You are 40 health and you heal to 90. DO NOT FIGHT AGAIN THAT DAY. Start Day 2 at 90 health and fight 4 times down to 50 and then heal again. You are at 100. In two days, you increased your health by 50 wellness. Unless ordered to or the strategic situation requires it, DO NOT FIGHT MORE AFTER YOU HEAL.
6. Know how to fight smart.
Always Train first. Training only takes of 1 wellness and increases your strength which increases damage. Then Fight. Then Heal and then Work. You will increase your wellness, your strength, your damage and your productivity.
7. A Word About Resistance Wars.
IMPORTANT: In Resistance Wars, make sure you know which side you are fighting for before pushing the fight button. Sometimes Resistance Wars are used strategicly and we want to lose them. So make sure in these circumstances that you FIGHT SMART and avoid friendly fire.

"...Alternatively, you can reach the hospital by going to your region page by following the link for your region next to your name on your profile page."
It seems most authors covering this topic neglect to note that hospitals are accessible after leaving the battlefield. This article is more complete on the subject than others. Voted.
