Battle Results

We have successfully taken Iowa from eRussia. A resistance war in Mississippi was also successful in recovering our state from eRussia. The resistance war in French-occupied West Virginia was stopped by eFrance.

Our allies in eCanada launched an attack on Hungarian-occupied Montana simultaneous with a resistance war to retake the state, but eHungary blocked both of these, expending a million more damage to defend this state from being retaken.

In Africa, a resistance war was successful in liberating the Brazilian-occupied South African Free State.

War Update

We now have 40 out of our 50 states and the initiative is back in the hands of eUSA, although Washington, D.C. is still occupied by eFrance. We are currently attacking Russian-occupied Tennessee and Kentucky as well as French-occupied West Virginia and Delaware.

A resistance war has been started in Hungarian-occupied North Dakota.

In Asia, a resistance war has been started in the Russian-occupied North Korean region of Pyongan.

Due to the rapidly changing nature of the battles in the war going on at this time, all military personnel are to follow this protocol when deciding where to fight:

Military Only
1. Direct orders given by your CO via PM ECHOs (only orders issued by your chain of command are acceptable). These are the most specific and relate to the particular military unit or platoon you serve in.

2. If no direct orders are given, then follow orders in the military forums according to the specific branch of the military you serve under (Home Guard, Army, Marines, MI, etc).

3. If updated orders are not posted, then military personnel are to follow orders posted in the joint military orders section, which is for the military in general and is not specific to individual branches.

4. If updated joint military orders are not posted, then military personnel will follow Civilian Orders.

Civilian Orders
Civilians (citizens not enrolled in the military hierarchy) should subscribe to, vote up and follow the Department of Defense Battle Orders which are updated daily and sometimes multiple times per day.

Trap Companies

Citizens are advised to beware of "trap" companies, which are companies that post wages much higher than the actual wage, tricking people into joining. If you are looking for a new job, do some research about the company first instead of automatically picking the highest wage. When you join one of these "trap" companies, you may be unable to work because of the lack of funds or raw materials. You can quit these companies right away, but many people, especially our newest citizens, may become discouraged. There is more to a company than the wage that is posted.

For more information about choosing the right company to work for, be sure to read the article What's My Job Worth?
