The Battle of Britain has undergone some changes in the past 24 hours, including the most recent fall of South East of England, which will bring London within reach for EDEN fighters. Even more notable is the elimination of eFrance earlier in the day, after a massive military assault on Upper Normandy reversed a high wall in the battle’s closing minutes.
The front on Day 809, before eNorway swapped into the eUK
USA-UK
After eUK Prime Minister Dishmcds retreated the North West of England on Day 808, no territories changed hands between these two English-speaking rivals. However, West Midlands, East Midlands, and the South East of England came under fire on Day 809, with the eUS winning at SE of England for the first time in four tries on Day 810, but losing at the other two fronts. Phoenix preoccupations in the ePeru-eBrazil fight and other affairs in eFrance (below) may explain the sudden change of momentum in this theater of the Battle of Britain.
If the two Midlands regions eventually fall, eUK PM Dishmcds will be limited in his options of retreating to consolidate his positions or catch EDEN off-guard and attempt a counterattack. It is clear that any attack from the SE of England against London will be fiercely combatted, but if the Phoenix is not careful, an EDEN victory in the East Midlands will put the East of England under fire. This is notable primarily because the East of England is the other region bordering London, and as a result, could imply a possible two-front assault on London if and when EDEN chose to make the fateful assault on the eUK's capital.
More significant is the overtime victory the eUS and EDEN received in an intense battle for SE England. The victory puts London in immediate striking distance, although it is likely that the first attack will be delayed as the militaries of both sides look to recover.
Norway-UK
eNorway used their recent declaration of war on eCanada to region swap into Scotland and bring its powerful mutual protection pacts (MPPs) to the front lines in Great Britain. From Scotland, eNorway launched an attack on Northern Ireland in Day 809, which the eUK also retreated given the region's minimal strategic value and greater need for soldiers elsewhere. eNorway has reached its point of furthest advance in the eUK war, as adjacent regions are controlled by the eUS and eSweden.
eFrance has fallen, and failed to resurrect
by losing in all 6 RWs fought in the circled regions
Conquest of France and Resistance Wars
As recent developments in eFrance reduced the country to one region, Upper Normandy, Phoenix started a series of resistance wars (RW) in eSpanish France. This is likely part of the reason for the changing state of the battle in Great Britain, as several eUK military elites have taken on deceptive avatars and made Spanish-language shouts to creatively attempt to get eSpanish two-clickers to side with the resistance. Six resistance wars were commenced after the eUS strike on Upper Normandy-- and therefore closed after the eUS victory there-- in
- Picardy
- Loire Valley
- Pays de la Loire
- Limousin
- North Calais, and
- Burgundy
All 6 of the RWs closed with walls over 100,000, denying eFrance the chance to reappear on the map before server reset. For the time being, eFrance has been bid "au revoir," but the eFrench could mount RWs in the coming days from eSpanish, ePolish, or eUSA hospital regions. The eFrench people have fought valiantly and the New World can expect them to continue to do so.
Closing, and Public Service Announcement
EDEN has received a huge benefit by successfully erasing eFrance’s list of 11 MPPs, and is now able to divert more resources to the anticipated Battle for London. The combination of eSpanish and ePolish occupation of France, along with some eUS presence in the northern part of the country, could make an organized resistance increasingly difficult for eFrance. Phoenix may withdraw their support as the war in France has, for now, been lost and is not as beneficial to Phoenix to support eFrance at EDEN’s expense. eFrance may be on their own or may be relegated to seeking peace with the eSpanish and allies.
The Public Service Announcement is to inform everyone that President Josh Frost has appointed me to serve as the Secretary of Media in the eUS Government. I have received the Press Room organization, so you can expect updates from the White House via the Briefing Room, along with the President's paper when he is able to write. I encourage you to subscribe to this official eUS Government newspaper, as I oversee and work with Mr. Hyphenated, Necrosis, and Joe Newton to keep the eUS citizenry and the New World informed; all this aside, the Stars and Stripes Journal will maintain its format and remains an independent newspaper, so I hope you stick around for more wartime news.
God Bless America,

What's a France? DENIED
SIGNed
France can't into existence
Ah, geez, now we gotta make sure six RWs don't get won or MPP'd France is back on the map?
Being a belligerent tyrant is so much hard work.
wtf... France will still have open MPPs against Spain and USA, if only one of the 6 RWs succeeds?
france can not on the map
It takes so much effort to take over a country. Why can't they just surrender like in RL? 😛
*Clap Clap Clap*
So, let's check this again, how many months/gold/bugs did you need to bring down one single country that refused to give up and surrender? :3
This must be one hell of a "glorious" victory Eden 😉
if necrosis runs the briefing room now, I should prolly unsub it 😕
I run it, GLaDOS, with POTUS oversight 😉. Necrosis is on our team and will do a fine job
first page?
>implying necrosis does anything right
you really don't know the man, if you did, you would understand
Nation of Traitors...
+1 Angus No retreat no surrender!
France can not into map
Nice article, vote, subbed already.
France cannot into map ;_;
Good article...again lol.
@Tankred : No, France has lost all of its activated MPP's against USA/Spain the moment France stopped to exist 😃
Nice and from an objective point of view. 🙂
An important war has been won, but there are two even more important ones yet to be won...
Signed!!!
The Fall of France = 100K Golds
Good article.
Well, France has been erased, but French people is not dead !
From a French resistant, who will watch the superbowl 😃
I still like your articles 🙂
And thanks for showing respect by saying we fought valiantly 🙂
For Christ's sake, can't you yanks get over what France did last year, in eYears it must be more than a century. GET OVER IT!!!
Damn, I cannot predict this game at all.
A few months ago, Canada didn't exist, the US was down to Fortress Florida, and France and Brazil occupied Spain.
But a few months is a lifetime in eRep.
The French did fight valiantly, but ultimately, we will do our end-zone victory dance, the dust will settle, and eventually France will onto map again.
Then, we can decide if we want to do anything different this time, or if we want to keep doing the same thing over and over again.
@at angus the great, who did we betray? The only ally we have in that fight was eSpain, who's side we fought on.
Da igual el gold. Para que lo queremos??
Para estos momentos!!

Voted.
I think we should probably split up France more evenly among EDEN for a few more days, after the battles in England are over.
Good, junior must fall, because Junior does not deserve to be on the map for their traitorous actions, and then Brazil for their participation in the fall of Spain.
Damn it, Lieutenant S.! I can't watch the Super Bowl because I have to read your article first! 😛
We win the game
you said it wont be biasd
France cannot into map! 😃
*sigh* The SE fell because of Bug exploiting, frankly. I watched that battle, and you people where clicking after the close of battle was meant to pass. I'm thinking right now all those self righteous Eden members talking about cheaters on PHX side.
Exploiting a bug to change a battle result, even if the bug was not caused by you, is a cheat, and there where a hell of a lot of you happy to do that. Well done. at this point frankly I am debating continuing the game, when your up against not ust another side but a broken system that fails so often no one even pauses to think 'Actually should I take advantage of this' instead see it as their right to cheat...
Yeah it's no fun. Fighting against the odds, and if we'd lost the SE fairly I'd be happy to, but people where pressing that attack button after the close of battle, and that frankly is disgusting.
Flying to Florida: 2Q1 Tickets
Fighting at Upper Normandy: 6Q5 + 4Q4 Weapons
To see eFrance fall: Priceless!!!
@Andy Maw😛 People (like me) clicked after the battle was supposed to end because the wall was BETWEEN no-man's land and conquered. It goes on until one side wins, which is why Phoenix was still fighting as well. I hope you understand.
@Alex Carpenter: We have gotten over our gripe with France now, thank you. And we're working though our issues with your country now, which will be resolved shortly.
@Andy Maw😛 Cheating? BattalGazi fought for you in that battle, so don't talk to us about cheating!!
I love watching PEACENIX crybabies cry. Probably the only thing I love more than walking on the ashes of their infrastructure.
Lots of respect for France, but no sympathy. They asked for this.
I can't say "lots of respect" for Junior.
Heh, minister of propa- I mean press 😃 I don't mean it in any derogatory mode, but in a funny way at best. Congratulations on the position, your articles ARE great!
FREE FRANCE!!!
brits - you're next 😉

Actually I watched that battle and when it first went into -1.59.etc it was still in the wall of no mans land, *shrugs* In any case, I'm just a little bored of it all, frankly.
Although I will say this, there are people on Phx side who have cheated, and been banned for it, and deserve to be banned but to Peter Jones, Battalgaza was not one of them, hence why he is back. He and many other Turkey players where routing their connection to the game so they could still play it after Turkey was locked out due to DDOS attacks. It made it look like all the players where the same, but they where not.
Hence why the Admins unbanned him after they had a closer look. Now if the battle was not meant to close fair enough I will wait to see other peoples opinions on the matter but when I was watching that battle it had not gone below no mans land till after the 'official' close time had passed. Now for a long time I had heard about the bug with battle closing but never actually saw it, now I think I have, unless the bug is something else?
