Day 6: Washington And Nunavut Fall, Russia Gunning For Montana And New Brunswick

Day 606, 11:39 • Published in USA USA • by Desertfalcon

Edit: Thanks to all my subscribers I have now hit the 1,000 mark and have received the media mogul badge. I will still keep pumping out these updates though.

Yesterday PEACE attacked us on two fronts and won on two fronts, today is no different as PEACE has conquered Washington in the U.S. and Nunavut in Canada. While both regions had their strategic advantages most F/E forces were directed to Nunavut most likely because it has high diamonds and Canada can't afford to lose any more regions. Washington was a key region as well since it gives PEACE a foothold on the U.S. mainland and now allows Russia to attack three regions instead of just one.

The battle in Washington happened soon after the Russian conquest of Alaska. Despite being an American region with a large population most F/E forces were ordered to fight in Newfoundland and later Nunavut to help Canada. Without much help from F/E forces America was never able to gain very much a lead and the majority of the battle took place in suburbia. In the early hours of day 606 PEACE, like always, started to pull away and pushed the battle deep into no mans land. The last hour of the battle evolved into a shooting match of tanks and America did threaten by pushing it up to suburbia after being down by 20k but in the end the PEACE tanks prevailed and were able to knock the wall down to -29,429k by battles end. The wall in Washington was huge compared to other regions we have seen battles in as suburbia in Washington was almost twice as large as the entire wall in Nunavut.

After the battle in Washington ended PEACE then attacked Montana (even though in RL Washington and Montana don't border each other). Their strategy seems to be to head east and cut off our border with Canada, that way they can take the western half of Canada without having to worry about us interfering like we did in Nova Scotia. In order for them to completely secure off western Canada they will need to take Montana, North Dakota or Wyoming, South Dakota and then Minnesota in that order. None of those regions have high walls so they may be difficult to stop. Whether they will continue across the northern border of the U.S. to Maine if they are unsuccessful we can't be sure as there are quite a bit of regions that would be tough to take in the north east but we can be sure they are going to try and go as far east as Minnesota. The current battle in Montana looks promising however its still way too early to tell and the last battle in Nunavut looked promising about this time as well.

On the Canadian front Canada lost a tough battle in Nunavut in yet another tank war. They did manage to come closer then in Washington with the wall only being -11,624k at battles end however it was the 4th Canadian region to fall with Canada still waiting for their first victory of this war. France has held back from launching an assault out west into Manitoba but they could pick that battle back up if Russia succeed in creating a buffer zone for them over the next couple of days.

Instead of attack Manitoba France has just launched an attack into New Brunswick and is probably gearing up for an attack on Quebec next. Now Quebec is a key region for Canada as it has a large population and a Q5 defense system, it would undoubtedly be harder to take then any region France has tried to take so far. If they did manage to take New Brunswick or Quebec they would be able to hand it over to Britain like they did with Nova Scotia to prevent the U.S. from attacking it and squelch the RWs, so they won't have a problem holding it like they would if they tried to take Manitoba now. They would just have to make sure America is under attack when they take over so they can hand it over to Britain before the U.S. can invade. If America is under attack the game mechanics will not allow them to launch an attack into France.

I will keep you updated throughout the day and make sure to stay tuned for more daily updates.
