Recently, the French conquered Spain completely, and Russia took New Jersey. Many saw these as big defeats, but they soon proved to be in our favour.

Spanish Reconquista:

Spain quickly grabbed four regions from weak French resistance. The French babies were unable to beat the veteran troops of the Spanish resistance, and four regions were soon grabbed. Resistance was made in the most recent battle (I have no clue why, perhaps to raise morale or something), and, with heavy support from Britain, France achieved a victory for once. In general, however, France is doing badly against rebel forces, and it is suspected direct attacks on Madrid and Asturias will be launched soon enough.

South Rises Again

Also recently, the USA gave up its last northern regions for a grand counter attack in the south. Attacking fast and hard, the Americans proved themselves not to be dead yet. A quick invasion of Alabama gave the Americans a victory. The local Portuguese militia were totally unprepared, and their allies in Hungary and Indonesia were surprised and unable to beat the nearly -700k wall. Following this up, the US president Emerick opened peace negotiations again, while simultaneously rushing through Lousiana and pushing north further into Portugal. The Indonesian president told the army to not fight heavily, resulting in an end wall of below a million points, saying it was a "training war". Despite this, the USA continues into Texas, and there are suspicions Emerick just pulled a big trick on PEACE, like Russia did on the USA several days prior. However, the attack on Georgia would appear to be a feint, as PEACE troops rush to defend it while few Fortis/Eden troops bother attacking, meaning Texas may be the real target. Already, large swathes of Texas are under American control again, as the US forces approach Dallas. Meanwhile, Portuguese troops are pulling back, as the local resistance is surprise to note the Portuguese giving back their land. This is probably a move to help Russia open another front, but whether it will work out or backfire has yet to be seen.

Canadian Resistance

Also recently, Canada reappeared on the map, and furthermore proceeded to grow quite large in the course of small time.

The rebirth of Canada was started by the revolts in New Brunswick, Newfoundland, and Prince Edward Island. Led into combat by Eden commanders from other nations, fishermen and maple syrup miners grabbed their weapons and rose into battle against the British. Prince Edward Island was secured, fortifications were placed, and the British were solidly driven out for the rest of the battle. However, New Brunswick and Newfoundland were very close, with heavy British resistance in defending the more valuable regions. They were hit by surprise, but managed a solid defense, keeping the attackers just short of taking Fredericton, while Labrador was held well by British troops entrenched in the area. Fortunately, paratroops from Eden arrived in time to secure both areas. The Fredericton garrison was completely surprised, and, after brief resistance, defeated. Meanwhile, heavy fighting was conducted in Labrador, with the paratroops almost defeated, when a second wave of Romanian elites arrived to beat back the British and secure the area.

A while after, Alberta and Nova Scotia were attacked simultaneously. Alberta was fortified heavily, and Canadian forces allowed it to stay British, thereby using up much of Britain's supplies in preparing defenses. Not prepared for a later attack however, the British didn't build so hard in Nova Scotia. With hard preparations, Canada gathered up roughly 200 gold to pay its troops, and got ready for a direct assault, with support of local rebel groups. Using this gold, Canada hired the Romanian Tank Squad, some Marines and Romanian heavy tanks, and organized support from Finnish paratroops as well. As the battle began, the American tanks hit the beaches of Nova Scotia and struggled up the harsh rocks. They soon ran out of fuel, but were followed by several Romanian tanks. PEACE tanks counter attacked, and it appeared the attack was over. Suddenly, the second wave arrived. Transport boats crashed into the shore as US Marines, Canadian troops, and Romanian tanks launched a strong, coordinated attack. PEACE was pushed far inland, and put up resistance, but was driven back quick. Soon, the arrival of Finnish reinforcements defeated the remnants of British and PEACE resistance, freeing Nova Scotia

The final British battle was in Alberta. Canadian forces, with heavy help from Eden, launched an airdrop on British Alberta. The Brits were prepared and heavily armed, with their finest paratroopers defending the area, not to mention support from various PEACE units and their own navy and militias. With a lightning-quick attack, Calgary and the farms of southern Alberta were liberated. Meanwhile, troops also landed in the northern Alberta woodlands and mountains, facing heavy resistance from the British Special Forces. Warfare between Canadian-held Calgary and British-held Edmonton continued for quite a while, with Canadians securing land steadily, with some minor losses from British militia and navy forces. Canadian raiders in partisan groups were able to seize several small sections of woodland, giving reinforces a place to land. British counter attacks began in earnest soon enough, thanks in large to big support from Hungarian and Indonesian mobile battalions. Near the end of the battle, it looked like Calgary would fall and British troops moved in for the kill. However, many troops from Eden arrived en-masse, and repeated the tactics in Nova Scotia. First, American troops arrived and launched initial attacks, giving Calgary some breathing room. British (largely PEACE) tanks arrived to push back, but not in especially large numbers. Encouraged, this triggered the arrival of Finnish, Polish, and Romanian troops (not to mention several others), who pushed back quickly thanks to landing bases in Northern Alberta. Soon, Edmonton was entirely surrounded, with only small pockets of British and PEACE troops outside. Pushing onwards, RTF reinforcements arrived, and Canadian resistance groups began mobilizing their forces. Soon, what remained of the British was stuck in the West Edmonton Mall, now a shadow of its former glory, with several holes from the artillery lodged inside. Ignoring this, Eden forces smashed through and defeated most of the British resistance (most of those who didn't escape surrendered and trading for Canadian POWs). It was a glorious day, and the Canadian flag was raised over Edmonton.

Soon afterwards, Canadian resistance groups (such as the famous Iberian Brigade and Brucks Canucks) began a rebellion in French-British Columbia. Without much help from the CAF or Eden, their forces began snatching land in BC. Rebels rose up in Nanaimo, Port Hardy, Victoria, Vancouver, Prince Rupert, etc. Heavy fighting occurred, and perhaps half the towns were secured. Nanaimo, a base for various French citizens and soldiers, was secured fairly quickly. Port Hardy was overwhelmed and (temporarily) made the Canadian base of command. Prince Rupert fell to the resistance, but most of the surrounding coastline did not, leading to fighting between PR and its neighboring French-ruled towns. Meanwhile, Vancouver and Victoria were big hotspots for the fighting, as French Colonists battled Canadian rebels. Several colonists, persuaded by the CBC radio captured by Rebels (temporarily requesting French people to support freedom), fought alongside the Rebel forces and assisted in several victories. Unfortunately, most of Vancouver was taken by French troops barring the local Rebel fort in China town. On the other hand, Victoria was split in an irregular pattern, with fighting being fought amongst the various districts. Downtown Victoria was split completely, with battles taking place between buildings, and the largest battles being amongst the Empress and Inner Harbor, and also nearby on the main bridge. Most of the outskirts (such as Langford and the Highlands) were taken by rebel forces. Oak Bay was largely secured by the French, whereas James Bay and Fairfield were occupied by Canadians, who proceeded to fortify Beacon Hill heavily. French troops put up a very strong fight in Colwood, View Royal, and Esquimalt. Using captured Canadian equipment, the French used old Canadian military and naval bases in Esquimalt to supply their troops and defend their positions. The naval base nearby downtown Esquimalt was used as the main French base, guarded by strong destoyers and troops. In general, the entire peninsula was a fortress, whereas Victoria downtown and Oak Bay were treated as expendable areas for the colonists to defend.

As the day progressed, PEACE sent some help, but so did the Marines and CAF. Slowly but steadily, Canada won the battle, after hard fighting, especially in Esquimalt, Vancouver, and in the Rockies/Inland towns.

Recently, Canada launched a direct attack on France in Quebec, a valuable, well defended region. This resulted in huge fights across the province, between pro-France Quebecois, and pro-Canada Quebecois. Towns were won, lost, and won again. Shouts of "Vive France!" and "Vive le Quebec libre!" rang out through Quebec as Canadian and American forces advanced. In particular, the 22e Quebec division in the CAF proved itself, grabbing several important cities. Hull, near Ottawa, was taken by pro-Canada forces quickly. Montreal, on the other hand, was taken by pro-France forces and heavily defended by whatever the French could spare. Noticing this, the main CAF forces split, going around Montreal, and instead attacked Quebec City, where the fighting is going on. The French haven't arrived en-masse, and the small French militia certainly does not have good odds right now, though reinforcements could certainly tip the balance. Elsewhere, key cities are either defended by local militias (both Canadian and French), or attacked by the strong advance of the CAF. If this advance continues, Quebec will finally fall and all that remains will be to attack and conquer Ontario.

Now, some words of warning.

Right now, we have the upper hand. PEACE is losing on almost all fronts. This does not mean, however, that we have won. Quite to the contrary, PEACE still has lots of fight left, and this war will be very hard. We cannot become complacent and expect more easy victories. Sooner or later, we will face heavier resistance, and we need to be sure that we can be prepared. So, celebrate our victories, but be prepared for a long, hard war and for potential setbacks.
