I WILL BE MAKING A NEW ARTICLE SOON SO THAT ONE OF MY ARTICLES CAN STAY IN THE TOP 5! PLEASE SUBSCRIBE SO WE CAN KEEP COMMUNICATION FLAWLESS
Ok guys I know I said I wasn't going to be that active or publish another article but with the recent events that have occurred I feel that we need new thinking. Clearly the way we are fighting this war is not working at the moment but with some adjustments I believe we can start to turn this war around so listen up.
Here are the current battles that the eUS can fight in:
West Virginia
Iowa
Arkansas
If I missed any battles please inform me by PM
General Orders now listed in order of importance, 9:35 eRep Time, Day 621
Arkansas - Get the wall to 150k, FIGHT HERE FIRST, THEN FIGHT IN WEST VIRGINIA, REASONING BELOW
West Virginia - Get the wall to 80k, FIGHT ARKANSAS FIRST! 80k IS SIMPLY THE FIRST GOAL SO THAT WE CAN POSSIBLY KEEP W.V. AND IOWA, WE NEED TO BUILD THE WALL IN THIS REGION FIRST THEN IOWA!
Iowa - Get the wall to 80k, FIGHT ARKANSAS FIRST!
I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO UPDATE THIS ALL THE TIME TELLING YOU WHICH BATTLES TO FIGHT IN AT THE MOMENT YOU LOOK AT THIS! PLEASE, BRING UP ALL OF THE LINKS GIVEN AND FIGURE OUT WHICH ONES NEED TO BE FOUGHT IN BASED ON THE CRITERIA LISTED ABOVE! THAT'S WHY I GAVE YOU THE LINKS OF THE WARS, NOT THE ACTUAL BATTLES.
Reasoning (how I determined where the wall should be at)
I did this by doing two things: Looking at how many MPPs PEACE has active and by looking at how big the "buffer zone" is. The "buffer zone" is the zone where the battle can keep going if the wall is down in that level. For instance, in the battle for Canary Islands, you'll see that the "buffer zone" starts at 82,800 therefore we need to keep the wall fairly high above that so we can close the battle down before PEACE thinks they stand a chance.
UPDATE
W.V. and Iowa have the same importance but we need to build one wall before another so that we can secure at least one region between the two.

Summary of yesterday/Ideas, Will update soon
First off, let me say thank you for the support that you have given me. I am no high ranking military commander, I am simply putting in a little bit more time, thinking out what we should do, and trying to get everybody on the same page. I got a lot of thank yous for being transparent and all I have to say is you deserve to know the reasoning behind what I think we should do. If my reasoning isn't good enough for you then simply fight somewhere else. Simple as that. I got a lot of people saying that I should be the new Chairman of the JCS. I think that's a little bit far-fetched and I'm sure other good men will be considered for the position.
Let me be clear: the orders I post are not official. These orders are for the people who don't get orders, the everyday citizen or two-clickers. I got a large backing of support because Eugene Harlot said that I'm smart and endorsed my system which I greatly thank him for. But again, these are not official, these are simply my opinions based off criteria that I have made.
I would like to commend everyone who followed orders yesterday. It was the first day of using this system and I must say that I am extremely impressed with our efforts. We secured two of three regions here in the eUS and were able to, for the most part, reach the goals that I had set. It's just a shame that the enemy can retreat a region at any given time because we could build the wall however high we want and not worry.
Due to the server reset near the end of the battles yesterday, Indonesia, who is awake during that time, got to do their usual tanking. This puts us in a little bit of a tough situation for one main reason: we can't tank the day before because the enemy will simply retreat the region therefore wasting a lot of our firepower and money and thus allowing them to fight with their full force at a later time.
I see two solutions: First, we get our allies to be on standby for us while we're sleeping or two, we get more people to stay up until server reset so that they can tank then when there's only a couple hours left in the battle hoping that the enemy won't retreat the region.
In the future, I will try to think up new strategies to battle this problem. It has made us lose one too many times. For now all I can say is that I encourage you to stay up until server reset if possible to see where help is needed.
Comments
This should work because if we get the wall up to a certain level and not too high then PEACE will have to choose which battle to try to win. Throughout the war PEACE has just retreated the region that has a huge wall and focused on another battle knowing that we used a lot of our firepower in that one battle.
We need to implement this new system so that PEACE can't waste our firepower. We can't simply tell the population to fight in one place and one place only because that creates too big of a wall.
I know that this is only one of the problems that we are currently having in eMerica but this is a problem that must be addressed.
I realize that this system may need some fine-tuning so please leave your thoughts below. Again, if I missed any battles that the eUS can fight in please leave that below as well. Thank you.
I'm sorry for my absence most of the day, I was busy. I'm glad that orders were followed. WE CAN DO THIS eUSA!

😨Keep going with this system and we have! Build up the wall in Arkansas first because that has 3 resources instead of just 1 in West Virginia and Iowa.
W.V. and Iowa have the same importance but we need to build one wall before another so that we can secure at least one region between the two.

This is dead on, I do this everyday when I log on and it a great plan. Great article.
Excellent thinking for a war that must be fought on multiple fronts.

Col. mjdiv,

Good idea!
This is actually a lot better than "defend X state at all costs, ignore all other battles". Although, if a state is clearly lost, it'd be good to mention that it's not worth fighting in unless all the other states are at their target levels. By the same token, rating the battles by importance is also a good idea.
Good input Jaime, I just did that. Thank you.
Good job!

@Zoli
PEACE propaganda... 😃DD
Rájöhetnének már, hogy csak jót akarsz nekik. 😛
Thanks and greetings from eCroatia
pepke
De most biztos beutnek Yukonba ha azt mondtam, hogy nem kell 😛
"Yukon - Keep the wall to 110k - Nothing is needed (lot of firepower wasted, PEACE may just retreat it)"
Um..Canada is the attacker in Yukon. That battle is lost.
@Korin Dethanos - exactly, therefore nobody should fight there or nothing is needed. thus the reason I said "lot of firepower wasted". But your right, I shouldn't have given a wall number there haha

Voted and subscribed, thanks!
Chris, Your reasoning is fantastic! I've been thinking about something along the same lines for a while now, and I think that the way you have the plan set, would help to contain the war into smaller fronts, giving us the time rally our troops to multiple fronts other than a single state. Also, I think that people need to buy some damned weapons, instead of buying tickets, turning tail, and retreating into three states. However, that's just my opinion.
What about Iowa? I know it is still early in the fight there, but there seems to be a lot of activity there, and I don't understand why.
Great! But maybe too late? 🙁
Great idea...
@PaminBB: there seems to be a modest amount of activity in each of the battles. I do not know why anybody would be fighting in Iowa at the current time because we have other battles that end before that one so please, fight in either Oregon or West Virginia. Thank you
Great ideas. Maybe if our leaders implemented these instead of wasting everything on one state while three others fall, we might stand a chance.
There's always going to be people who, for whatever reason, don't read the battle orders and just fight. We can't do anything about them and it's pointless to try, at least with the method we've been using. There is no sense in worrying about what we can't directly control.
Also, Chris, it might not be a bad idea to point out whether a particular battle is an attack on us or an attack by us.
If you haven't heard, eCanadians are fed too with how their leadership is handling the war.
With any luck at all, Bruck will be voted in as President on August 5th.
To our PEACE friends out there: Bruck you!!! Hell is coming.
one problem in a near brilliant strategy, if we do this, they can start to focus on canada and flank us, that strategy cannot work if our populace is divided over three battlefields...im not a high rank at all, but in my opinion we cant win on the home front like this, if we can get our allies to attack PEACE at home instead of having them defend with us then we have a chance. they'll have to use resources to defend, then they wont be ablee to keep up this blitz on the E.U.S.
@spartan523: I'm not a high ranking military commander and have no control over what battles we create. All I'm trying to do is give out orders to the eUS and any other citizens who want to participate in our battles. I see your point though, I would take it up with somebody who's higher up in the military.
voted... We will stand.

Intelligence, logic and transparency. Thank you. Voted and subscribed.
Thank you so much for some logic, creating a 150K wall in one zone whilst we have only 2k in another has been frustrating.
Trying to keep many at 80k to 120k forces PEACE to split forces just as we do.
We can still have priorities but it should stop overkill and oversight.
This will also help to counter the issue of orders being stuck and outdated whilst the leadership sleep.
We need them 24/7 but damn everyone has to sleep at sometime.
Good idea fully supported and voted
Great job, this is exactly the coordination we need. Voted and subscribed. You're awesome!
I like your ideas; hopefully, the informed eMericans who read this will know how to decide which battle to fight at any given time without you having to update it, given your suggested wall numbers.
This system of orders is fantastic.
THANKYOU!!! PEACE uses this system, and they have been pwning us...this should put us a little more on par
Your article is one of the more articulate, clearer explanations regarding walls and which battles to fight in, while providing numerical data. Thank you, and I hope you can keep this up, informing the American public like this will surely be of great benefit.
Voted!
Finally some battle orders that make some kind of sense instead of wasting firepower. BTW, I read the battle orders PEACE had for Brazil about a week ago, and this is how they do theirs. Priority order for where to check, and thresholds to determine if you should fight there or try the next one.
Thank you all for your comments and suggestions. Tomorrow's article should be even better with more organization. Spread the word through IRC, shouts, and PMs.
We need EVERYBODY on this system ASAP and throughout today the walls are at or around the designated area. Thank you all for your cooperation. Hopefully tomorrow we can see the same type of teamwork.
awesome, some clear concise and cogent orders, this is what eUSA needs!!

First our president and now the president of Indonesia? What the heck is going? D8? Any reasons here?
