Firstly, I'd like to apologize in advance if NFTF seems somewhat rushed this week. Got my formal interview for the army this Monday, so I've not been able to put as much time into this as I would have liked

Anywho, ONE has fully committed itself to the Chinese invasion this week. After a slight delay in Kyushu Hungary has finally joined the offensive, attacking from the East. Iran jumped on-board the bandwagon attacking from the South-East. While Poland, late to the party, finally joined Serbia in the North. Its going to take quite a miracle to save China from joining Brazil, Canada and America in the growing list of wiped countries.






The ONE offensive (Click to Enlarge)

The spotlight has well and truly been on China this week. Last weeks NFTF saw Serbia edge through Russia to finally attack and conquer Inner Mongolia on Day 1,327. Meanwhile, the Hungarian attempt to cross from Hawaii to Chinese-occupied Kyushu was stalled thanks to an EDEN backed RW which returned the region to Japan.

Unfortunately for EDEN it did not stall Hungary for long who quickly declared on Japan and conquered Kyushu on Day 1,328, giving them a route into China. In the meantime Serbia continued its advance taking Lianoning (trans. Lion King) and then Jilin the following day.

At this point both Hungary and Iran had NE'd China. On Day 1,329 Iran conquered Chinese-occupied Balochistan. On Day 1,330 Hungary made its first move in the ONE offensive taking Shanghai, giving itself a solid land-bridge into China.

Serbia, Iran and Hungary then picked up momentum, taking turns to steadily capture regions over the next few days. Serbia captured the Chinese capital Beijing followed by Shaanxi, Sichuan, Gansu and finally Yunnan. Hungary preceded along the coast taking Jiangsu, Shandong and on Day 1,333 Anhui. While Iran traversed along Pakistani-occupied India taking North-West Frontier Province, Xinjiang, Tibet and earlier today Quinghai.

ONE had also been clearing path in Canada and Russia through which Poland could join the Chinese party. On Day 1,333 they did, attacking an conquering Heilongjiang and then attacking Inner Mongolia.

China has also lost many of its North Korean and South Korean colonies throughout the week, losing all but one of its regions to ONE backed RW's.






The current state of mainland Portugal

Things have become somewhat repetitive in Portugal. The Portugese RW a region back, Mexico attacks and conquers one, then rinse and repeat. Every Portuguese region has, at some point during the week, been liberated by the Portuguese and reconquered by Mexico. The one exception being Lisboa, which was liberated on Day 1,333 and has yet to be reconquered.




Turkey's counter-attack

Russia has spent the week doing what any self-respecting occupied country should do, start RWs. Unfortunately, other than against Turkey they have not seen much success. Far Eastern Russia was liberated from Serbia, but in reality it was ONE-backed to enable Poland to join the Chinese offensive.

Volga was liberated from Turkey on Day 1,329, Central Black Earth on Day 1,330 and North Caucasus on Day 1,331. However, on Day 1,333 Turkey attacked and reconquered North Caucaus. North Caucasus offers Turkey a bonus to production, neither other liberated region offers anything other than bragging rights.

Currently, Turkey have attacked Volga and it would be a safe bet that they'll win it.





After the US and Canadian wipe things became rather quiet, not much to report in N. America really. The US has been starting one RW after another, and have seen moderate success. Out of the countless RW's started Oregon, California, Nevada and Utaha were liberated. However, Indonesia retook Washington on Day 1,330 and then Nevada. Although Nevada was later liberated 3 days later.



Much like the US, Canada hasn't been very energetic this week. Poland and Indonesia spent the best part of the week working to move Poland through Yukon, Alaska and then into Asia to aid the Chinese offensive. However, Canada has managed to liberate Manitoba on Day 1,328 and Alberta on Day 1,329.

Quebec and Ontario were liberated on Day 1,333 by ONE and UK forces. The following day the UK NE'd Canada, likely to push further into Canada and so extend their NE bonus. Unfortunately, a RW was launched in British-occupied Newfoundland and Labrador. Which Canada currently looks to win.





Brazil started the week pushing further into South Africa, taking KwaZulu Natal on Day 1,328, Mpumalanga on Day 1,329 and the Western Cape on Day 1,330.

Meanwhile, in S. America, Spain was cleaning up the remaining Brazilian home regions. On Day 1,328 the Southeast of Brazil fell to the Spanish followed by Parana and Santa Caterina. Rio Grande do Sul had been liberated by Brazil on Day 1,328, it was reconquered on Day 1,330.

On Day 1,331 Spain conquered the final Brazilian original region the Northeast of Brazil, leaving Brazil with its South African colonies.

But not for long. ONE began to RW each Brazilian-occupied South African region. Mpumalanga was liberated on Day 1,331, the Eastern Cape on Day 1,332, and finally KwaZulu Natal and the Western Cape on Day 1,333. This meant that Brazil was once again wiped. With Spain's focus seemingly on S. America, this time may be more permanent.




The Peruvian advance through Bolivia and it's attack on Northern Argentina

Early in the week Argentina managed to close its open war with Peru after seeing successful RW's in Pampas on Day 1,326, Patagonia on Day 1,327 and Argentine Northwest and the Bolivian Attiplano on Day 1,328.

Peru then preceded to carve their way back through Bolivia, taking every region but Pando. They then re-attacked Argentine Northwest and conquered it on Day 1,332.

Currently Peru have re-occupied South East Chaco and attacked Cuyo. With Brazil out of the game and the Spanish free'd up, we may see Peru have more success in holding onto Argentinian regions.
