February 6th, 2010

It has been Five weeks since Eden operations against the eUK homeland begun and already England finds itself desperately dependent on it's Phoenix allies. The operations began with joint
Swedish-Polish probing expeditions against several British provinces. It's objectives where simple, test Phoenix's capacity to establish a defensive wall, and begin a Three week long war of attrition to wear down gold stockpiles, and to deplete it's weapon stockpiles.


The climax of this opening stage begin on January 29th when elite Phoenix tank brigades incited over six massive resistance wars across Western , Northern, and Central France, taking over 5 regions. It's objectives appeared to be breaking what Phoenix command perceived to be a stalemate, and cutting off Eden's hopes of continuing it's campaign of attrition against the eUK. This insurgency continued until February 5th, when joint Spanish/Polish/US operations pushed it back to the vicinity of Upper Normandy- despite their commitments elsewhere at the time.

On February 2nd the United States launched what became the beginning of the primary invasion, gaining ground in Wales, and South West England thanks to it's MMP advantage where it's allies tipped the battle in Eden's favor at the last moment.

On the following day, February 3rd the eUK launched a counter-attack against dug-in US positions along the Severn and Wye rivers. in Central Wales. Sensing a opportunity, the Canadian armed forced launched a synchronized invasion along-side the Swedes, and Polish armies against key the key provinces of Scotland, South East England, and North East of England.

The next morning, February 4th, the Swedes again launched a fierce assault upon the smoldering beaches and made short work of the exhausted English corps defending the vicinity. With the risk of becoming outflanked, the Phoenix general in command withdrew his beleaguered men South to take up positions over looking Yorkshire giving the battle to the Swedish armies.

Infantry from Sweden are well accustomed to the grueling conditions of winter warfare, as are all Scandinavians, becoming invaluable assets for Eden.

Today, February the 6th has seen some of the worst fighting since Hello Kitty spanning Three provinces and millions of men from Eden and Phoenix. The battles had raged on from the previous day shifting constantly as Eden and Phoenix tried desperately to outdo the other even as the weather continues to deteriorate.

@ Edit.

I'd like to apologise for a inaccuracy about the Resistance wars. I was sick for a few weeks and thus based most of the information off of the map. Due to a map bug i was fooled into believing a large-scale RW started on the 29th of January in France and Germany. In actuality due to the map-bug i was looking at the January 2nd and 3rd map in place of the 29th and 30th. A cause of great embarrassment ><
