Day 50: California Fends Off American Assault
Its been 50 days since PEACE started their invasion of North America with the French invasion of Nova Scotia. Today the war appears far from over as Indonesia has just repelled the U.S. in California and has since launched an attack into Arizona in a move that will force the U.S. back on the defensive. Had the U.S. taken California it would've of meant the likely end of Indonesia in the U.S. however if the U.S. can't pull out a victory in Arizona it will likely put us back on the run and prolong the war even further. Russia will still be blocked by Canada so they won't be able to team up with Indonesia to block us so we still do have a good chance of beating Indonesia if we can just stop them here.
Despite the effort in California PEACE is still having some troubles. Just a few minutes ago Ontario had fallen to Canada. With Ontario back under Canadian control the economy will start to recover and Canada will have a much easier time taking back the rest of their regions with a higher population and stronger economy. The PEACE attacks into Greece and Croatia were also unsuccessful despite early indications that they might succede. PEACE has never really had much success on these fronts though so the failure was expected. Those battles did help out PEACE to some extent though as they drew away F/E troops from California.
The battle to watch right now is the resistance war in Asturias where Spain seeks to liberate the high iron region that is so vital to their economy. Right now there are about 5 hours left and the battle is in the rural area. Asturias has a huge wall and there will likely be a great deal of tanking for both sides so this could easily go either way. Spain also has a resistance war active in Catalonia, a high grain region that is also vital for their economy. While Catalonia is not as important as Asturias it would be a huge win for Spain to secure a high resource region which they have yet to do.
Other then those resistance wars and the battle in Arizona there really isn't much going on today. There are loads of other resistance wars currently active however most of those are simply efforts to keep the Hungarians and Russians from retreating in battles that force them to blocked. Micheal Lewis has started a resistance war in Hawaii as well however this will likely fail with only a few hours left.

BOO INDONESIA!!!
Viva España!
Ontario is liberated, though.
Not that much tanking in Asturias, btw. For some reason PEACE and F/E seem exhausted.
Congrats to the Canucks. ~
There will be another chance. Indo spent a TON of gold

Great article! Voted!
Failure for America and victory for our allies. We might have not one Cali but if we secure 5 other regions its worth it!
Great article as always, voted
I think I speak for everyone behind enemy lines when I say we all support you and look forward to welcoming you as liberators in a beautiful parade in downtown Seattle!
THIS IS.......MORTAL COMBAT!!!!!!!! <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boT7nxmgaI8&feature=related" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boT7nxmga[..]ated</a>
And we should also liberate New Jersey and New York for the +2000 manpower
PEACE
Interesting as always! Voted ^^
YYYEEEAAAHHH!!!
Taking back Ontario, and hopefully Austarias. Those are huge!
I live in Arizona IRL. And I say to PEACE.
Come and take it.
Congratulations on Ontario. Asturias hangs in the balance; if it goes into overtime, people will need to be available to win it after the 00:00 rollover.
I hope the war goes on forever. It only increases our rank and experience...
America- hell yeah!
Let's halt Indonesia in Arizona, go back on the offensive!
Great article as always. Voted

Asturias is returned to eSpain. Ontario is returned to eCanada. We're 2 for 3 in the major battles from yesterday and that's a win no matter what happened in Cali.

3/4 even Drake Koeth! Don't forget catalonia
You would think that PEACE would run out of money eventually fighting the entire world.
I still don't understand why Russia is fighting with PEACE instead of against them.
Wait. ML is still around?
Come on guys, lets get them out of our country.
Allies, never forget! The Axis made great gains in World War 2, but in the end, the great Allied nations fighting for freedom united and defeated the Axis Of Evil! History will repeat itself, you Indonesian evildoers!
@Quicksilver
I guess you guys don't time your battles either?
right now if I was an Eamerican I would apply for citizenship in Canada, it looks like America doesn't stand much of a chance against our PEACE forces now. I love how in real life America is the leading military but here they are becoming one of the weakest.
Anyone know any detailed stats on the California battle? Must've been huge.
GO eUSA and allies!!!
Ahí estuvo mi arma!!!
Thanks a lot guys,
Your effort to move Indo's damage to California was impressive.
Let us to liberate Spain.
We'll be helping to liberating the rest of your regions very soon from Spain throught MPP.
geez, I joined at the wrong time, with all these wars!
