War Games: The 10 minute stat explosion

VOTE SCRABMAN/MOISHE APRIL' 09
In a short while War Games will commence in the Baja region of Mexico tonight and will run through tomorrow ... then will start again Wednesday and Friday. While for many of you this information will appear very basic, if you are new or recently joined eRepublik I want to provide you with the “down and dirty” to taking the greatest advantage of this great opportunity to boost your stats.
First the Baja Wargames will commence tonight, Monday evening (Day 496) with a Resistance War. It is critical for you, if you have not worked already, to wait until you have completed the following steps before working for the day.
1. Go to Army and Train: This will increase your damage and increase your likelihood of increasing rank.
2. If you are not already residing in Florida or New Jersey purchase a Q1 moving ticket and move to one of those to states if you can afford to take advantage of their Q5 Hospitals.
3. If your current wellness is less than 40, seek a gifting partner or contact “Hand to Hand” for necessary gifting. You cannot fight with a wellness level below 40.
4. Assuming that you are in Florida and or New Jersey (Q5 Hospital); go to the Active Wars page and find the resistance war with Baja. It will have Baja (without a country) on the left and the United States on the Right. Click on details.
5. Click on “Go to Battlefield” and press “Fight for Defenders”. Unless you can afford it, do not purchase weapons, since war games are intentionally developed to increase the stats of eUSA citizens at the least out – of-pocket cost possible, you will get the most “bang for the buck” by fighting with you bare hands. Never mind that the results will commonly say things like “weak fight, private!”, as the war games progress, you will progress. The goal is to work toward increasing your battle damage as effectively as possible.
6. With each fight you will lose 10 wellness, but you will gain both experience points and inflicted battle damage which will increase your rank over time and increase your damage.
7. YOU MUST FIGHT AT LEAST ONCE BEFORE YOU CAN USE THE HOSPITAL
8. When your wellness is reduced to below 50**(see Hospital grid below) points, click on the “Hospital” link which will take you to the Hospital page for your region, click “Heal” and you will receive 50 points of wellness.
9. You may only visit the hospital once per day, but the good news is that the war games will take place well before the stroke of midnight eRep time, and therefore you can repeat the entire process outlined before shortly after midnight server time.
10. Now, before returning to battle, go and work. The increased level of your wellness will substantially increase your production for your employer.
11. Your wellness will drop a few points following work, but you can now return to the battle field for a couple more rounds of bare handed fighting to further increase your experience and damage inflicted for the next rank level.
A couple more items to really get the most out of the war games:
Follow the instruction provided as closely as possible, but try and avoid getting so caught up in the battle that you start spending gold for wellness boxes. Wellness boxes cost 2 gold apiece for 10 wellness...therefore for the ability to do one additional fight (which will decrease your wellness by 10) you will spend the equivalent of over $100 USD. Save your gold and wait for the next day, as hard as it may be to resist one more fight.
If you do not currently reside in Florida or New Jersey, and cannot afford a moving ticket, make sure to determine the Q level of the Hospital for your region and use the following matrix to determine the best approach:
Hospital Grid
Q5 Hospital = Do not heal until you are under 50 wellness. Do not fight below 50 wellness.
Q4 Hospital = Do not heal until you are under 60 wellness.
Q3 Hospital = Do not heal until you are under 70 wellness...and consider moving as soon as possible to Florida or New Jersey.
Q2 Hospital = Do not heal until you are under 80 wellness…and move as rapidly as possible to Florida or New Jersey.
Q1 Hospital = Do not heal until you are under 90 wellness…and move as rapidly as possible to Florida or New Jersey.
No Hospital = Do not fight at all until after you have moved to Florida or New Jersey.
These war games will present you with a great opportunity for some very cheap stat padding and will be a contribution to the increased military strength of the eUSA. I encourage you to get involved as soon as possible. This training is meant to give our citizens the same opportunities that members of PEACE countries get with their constant battles against Pakistan and other countries over seas that we cannot take part in.
Our control of Baja, Mexico is for the purposes of these war games we will be providing specific instructions for taking the greatest advantage of the Resistance Wars (RWs) that will follow in the coming days.

nice instructions
Excellent post.
Great summary of fighting strategy! Looking forward to the war games tonight.
Q3 Hospital = Do not heal until you are under 70 wellness...and consider moving as soon as possible to Florida or New Jersey.
So if I have a Q3 hospital in my region I should not use it above 70, but could fight down to 30 and use the hospital?
Zoli -You wothless PEACE troll. Stop trying to confuse the n00bs. That's weak and again displays the depths that you and your ilk will sink to.
Great instructions
Good article. Too bad I missed out on the initial war games due to real world issues. Heres to wed's and Fri's games.
Any chance of more Q5 hospitals coming scrabman or was New Jersey just gifted this q5 hospital to stop all its politicians from demanding one?
INSTRUCTIONS CHANGED to
1) Indicate that it is a resistance war battle and the battle will not be in US-Mexico War Screen. The war you want should be at the top of the first list of wars and will have BAJA on the left and the US on the right
2) Bolded and added at the end "Fight For Defenders." The US is defending this region, Defend it!
No resistance war in Baja as of 07:24 server time on March 30.
@Rollo - From the previous article: "At this time, the War Games are scheduled to start at 17:00 eRep server time (8pm EST) Monday evening"...just a few more hours 🙂 Excellent article President Scrabman, voted.
Voted, thanks for the info (although i knew that) 😛
now we can enhance our fighting capabilities more
and congrats for the alliance with Greece, a small friendship that could evolve to a big headache for the miserable Turks!
Woot Woot, can't wait!
I'm glad you made sure everyone understood that we are fighting "FOR THE DEFENDERS".
You also might want to warn against clicking on any links during this time as PEACE forced us to fight against ourselves last time we tried Resistance Wars.
Nice article. Thanks.
@ADFGDF
???
newb: What happens if I already fought, but did not use the hospital and am not in Florida or New Jersey?
You can still move anywhere in the world after fighting at least once and use the hospital once per day in whichever region you're in at the time.
So if you haven't healed and forgot to move before fighting, you're still fine. Just move now and heal. Message me (or someone else) if you don't know how to heal from anywhere but the battle screen.
2 more hours! I'm excited.
1 hour until attack
DON`T FIGHT AFTER use HOSPITAL. WAIT the NEXT DAY
This is awesome stuff Scrab, I am just curious though..what did we give the Mexicans in exchange of this temporary battleground?
Okay, if you can, fight BEFORE and AFTER midnight!
You can get 10 free fights in 2 days easily with a Q5 hospital.
You won't even lose wellness!
With 9, you'll GAIN it.
Fight smart, fight well, eAmericans!
Viva el Mexico!
Or is it Vive?
I was fortunate enough to find out that if you fight somewhere else and then move to a Q5 state you are still able to use that hospital
Thanks, Mr. President. We all appreciate the opportunity to gain loads of xp. I'm not USWP, but you're impressing me so far..
The answer to what we gave Mexico for this territory to have War Games is that we gave them back the Q5 hospital we destroyed when Sam sneak attacked them last month and ransacked through their country not heeding the advice of his military advisers.
As far as the fighting goes. If people fight smart they will get 35 battles in this week as there is a chance to fight 5 times every day from yesterday up till election day. I won't be trying to start battles on Sunday as everyone will be busy voting and I don't want to grand stand on election day.
Those who fight smart may find themselves increasing their battle rank quite a bit this week. I went a little wild yesterday increasing my damage by quite a bit. I'm still about 7,000 points away from General though ... if we keep these open as long as I hope to maybe I can get there. I'm getting about 400 points a day right now.
Keep up the good training folks! Remember, end your day as near 100 as possible. You fight best at higher wellness.
well done
so, I move to USA, and I go to california for the Q5 hospital? Copy that.
I have to disagree with the point about buying weapons. A simple $10 weapon will more than double the experience that you get from the fight.
Hope everyone is having fun, gaining xp, and raising their wellness. No other candidate has explicitly said they will continue these games. I WILL!
