USAF Merger Complete!
Dave Gulya, Deputy SecMed

I spoke recently with Secretary of Defense dmjohnston and Operational Commander rainysunday to ask about the merger of USAF Military Units into one cohesive Unit.

dmjohnston told me that “at this point the merger is essentially complete” and that “the command structure has been unified for some time now, and rainy sunday is filling in the remaining spots with people”. This has provided and will continue to provide many opportunities for players to get involved with the Military Unit. Positions ranging from Platoon Leader to Regiment Captain are being filled at this time and as more players join the United States Armed Forces Military Unit, additional Regiments will need to be added and existing Regiments may need to be shifted to accommodate these changes.

SecDef dmjohnston also explained that the biggest hurdles they are facing are technological ones. Supplying soldiers with the needed weapons and food is of utmost importance to keeping a strong military. USAF Technology Chief Darkmantle, has created a new site that displays Regiment Rosters and will give soldiers another option to request supplies in addition to IRC and take the place of the current Google Doc form. Players will be able to request their supplies right from the Darkmantle site and link to the latest Daily Orders and check for Announcements and current info. The supply bot is nearly complete and this will work in combination with the Roster Site. It is importantIf there are USAF Soldiers that have not yet checked it out, can access the Roster Site here

Another benefit from the combined Unit is that the the Department of Defense budget has decreased substantially. dmjohnston attributes the budget decrease in part to the drop in WRM prices. The other part is that "enderaggie, nui04, rainy sunday, and I have been working out the best way to run out supply schemes and communes to ensure we get the most bang for our buck".

Another major step for the DoD was the completion of a couple of coordinated attacks called Joint Strikes. As many available USAF Soldiers gather at a selected battlefield at a specific time and deal major damage to an enemy. This has proven effective in helping nations that we have favorable relations with or even nations that we have a Mutual Protection Pact (MPP) with. Arm America which is a program that provides eUS Citizens with weapons for specific battles was also activated during the Joint Strikes and was very successful. SecDef dmjohnston said to “expect to see more of that”.



Pacifica
Dave Gulya, Deputy SecMed




I asked WildOwl, our Secretary of State for an update of our current Foreign Affairs situation, he provided the following statement:

"Pacifica, which has been initiated as a two country alliance between eUSA and eRussia brings us back together with one of our oldest bros and strongest allies, Russia in an official alliance. Both the USA and Russia have a vested interest in stability in the Pacific region and we look forward to working alongside them to tackle the various challenges that face our nations in the New World. A unified approach towards issues will be the key in the coming months to make Pacifica grow into a strong alliance, and we believe that we have laid a stable foundation for this."

Many patriotic Citizens have already showed their support by shouting:
Hail USA!
Hail Russia!
Hail Pacifica!



Freedom Fighting: A Guide to Gold and Glory
Jude Conners - Contributing Writer, WHPR


I'm Jude Conners and I am a "Freedom Fighter". In a world that is completely run by war, I have found my own niche' which has paid off quite well in only four short months. In that time, I have accumulated 33 Freedom Fighter medals and have participated in over 200 successful battles for independence from an oppressive regime. In that time, I have been able to find a like-minded group of friends in the Bear Cavalry military unit and have been awarded over 150 gold. It is a highly rewarding gameplay style and I am able to keep myself self-funded with food and Q7 weapons. But before you decide to be a freedom fighter, you should understand the basics of freedom fighting.

What is the Freedom Fighter Medal?
The Freedom Fighter achievement is a medal awarded for helping the liberation of regions by fighting in Resistance Wars. It is a progressive achievement that awards 5 gold no matter what division you are a fighter of. The progression si as follows:

- Fight in 3 successful Resistance Wars and defeat 25 opponents in each (1st medal)
- Fight in 3 successful Resistance Wars and defeat 50 opponents in each (2nd medal)
- Fight in 3 successful Resistance Wars and defeat 75 opponents in each (3rd medal)
- Fight in 4 successful Resistance Wars and defeat 25 opponents in each (4th medal)
- Fight in 4 successful Resistance Wars and defeat 50 opponents in each (5th medal)
- Fight in 4 successful Resistance Wars and defeat 75 opponents in each
- Fight in 5 successful Resistance Wars and defeat 25 opponents in each
- Fight in 5 successful Resistance Wars and defeat 50 opponents in each
- Fight in 5 successful Resistance Wars and defeat 75 opponents in each



- Fight in 10 successful Resistance Wars and defeat 25 opponents in each
- Fight in 10 successful Resistance Wars and defeat 50 opponents in each
- Fight in 10 successful Resistance Wars and defeat 75 opponents in each

After this (24th medal), players will start over, and have to..
- Fight in 3 successful Resistance Wars and defeat 25 opponents in each (25th medal)
- Fight in 3 successful Resistance Wars and defeat 50 opponents in each (26th medal)
- Fight in 3 successful Resistance Wars and defeat 75 opponents in each (27th medal)
etc.



Freedom Fighter Armament
I would love to tell you that you can jump right into freedom fighting and that is actually true, to a degree. But I want to tell you a few of the tips I have learned over the past few months to help you.

First, try to use Q7 weapons as much as possible, if not more often. Q7s give you more bang to your buck since they can each be used ten times and give you 200 fire power. By contrast, a Q6 only gives you 120 fire power and can only be used six times. So spend a little more to get the best weapons in order to use that +80 firepower. It is worth the additional expense.



Picking Battles
Depending on your play style, there are a couple of different ways to choose which resistance war battles you will fight in to pursue the Freedom Fighter medal. If you are a complete roleplayer, you will probably choose only certain nations in which to fight for and will probably not care which side is "in the lead" for the battle. If this is your style, more power to you; but you are losing out on many battles that will help you achieve more medals and be rewarded with more gold. To each their own, however.

But if you are more of a mechanist, you may like my approach. First of all, I will usually fight in any resistance war battle for any nation. I simply click the WARS tab on the top of the screen and look for resistance wars there. If there are some in the nation I am currently win, I can save moving costs and fight in them. This happens a lot in the empires of Chile, Argentina, and Serbia.



Usually I have to look under "All Campaigns" to find the most/best resistance war battles. I look for the ones with the best chances of being won. In the illustration above, I obviously chose to fight for Montenegro v Croatia but fighting for Slovenia v Italy is another good option. The worst option is Georgia v Bulgaria, as Georgia has little to no chance of winning that battle.

Checking Your Progress
After each successful resistance war battle you have participated in, you will receive a notification alert. You can also follow your progress from your profile page by hovering your mouse over the Freedom Fighter medal. After you have fulfilled each requirement, you will receive the achievement and five gold.

I hope this helps you understand how to seek out and achieve success in pursuit of the Freedom Fighter medals. It is the only way I play nowadays. If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message with any questions.



War Updates
TheHandyMan


A)-On Scandinavia

1-Denmark liberated their RL capital. We can assume they had deal with Germany for upcoming congress elections.
2-Sweden lost their original regions. They were not strong enough to fight Poland and Lithunaia.
3-Russia had arranged land swap with Finland, as well as some deals with Norway.
4-We can see battle for Vitsebsk (Albania-Belarus). Albania escaped from original regions in lack of strength to face Serbia. But Albania makes 25 % more demage then Belarus, and we will keep seing Albania in Belarus in the future.
😎-On Balkan

1-You see it right, Slovenia is still in war with Italia ... They will end it tonight, cause they lead in both wars. Now we will have to wait, but I think that NAP between those 2 is possible. Italia cant reach their southern regions (Greece) and they will have to focus on northern regions.
2-Yesterday Serbia made attack on Croatians region. If they won that battle, Croatians capital would be cut off. They lost, and Croatia was on the move.
3-Today Croatia attacked eastern Bosnian region. Bosnia started RW. If Serbia looses those 2 battles, 2 regions signed with blue dots will be cut off.
#1-Great Britain

It should not be hard to UK to fight Canada... They make 2 times more demage then Canada. But it is very hard for them. Currently it seems like Canada will win Wales, and UK will reclaim Scotland. More importantly, UK will have to face both Canada and Argentina (red star) to reclaim their original regions.
Argentina is still fighting with Spain. If UK and Spain are with war with Argetina at the same time, it would be itneresting to see who will win. Argetina still makes 33 % more influence than Spa-UK. But, will they get more support from Asteria than Spa-UK from Sirius ? Are Romania,Serbia and Greece tired of seeing Argentina all ove the world ? Or is Asteria truely brotherhood ? This stuation in Great Britain may give us many important answers.
----
#2-Western Asia and northern Africa

1-You would normally look for Australia near New Zealand. But they are now near Saudian Araby. Being proAsteria they are not strong enough to face proSirius Indonesia-Chile-FYROM who now controll Australias original regions.
2-Cyprus will win battle against Hungary and leave them only UAEs regions. But, is proSirius Cyprus strong enough to both deal with Israels RWs and keep winning MPP battles against proAsteria Hungary ?
3-Hungarys main mission was to kick Bosnia and Herzegovina out of Asia. That is the reason why they have settled in this part of eWorld.
4-Did you know that Turkey makes enough influence to complete top5 list ? (Serbia-Poland-Argentina-Greece-Turkey) They make 12 times more demage than Iran. Now lets take a look at these 2 battles. They are leading in both, of course. It is only a mistery will they continue this war till they delete Iran from map, and will they take a try at Pakistan (or maybe India and China)...
->Does this part of world show that Sirius might be stronger than Asteria at the moment. Interesting stuff on the map, in deed.

#3-Notes
I am not from the States, so I hope you understood my english. 🙂

CP Statement
Molly Emma




Molly, delivering her speech, in style.

I am very excited to see the ongoing cooperation and communication happening between some of our most active MUs. For a long time we have had an attitude that either you were in or you were out when it came to being in a private MU or government MU or even independent. This is proving that we still remember how to work together as a country, despite our differences, to bring directed damage to the field, work toward getting our soldiers active and win for the USA. The roots are being established for even more coordinated efforts and greater influence over battles in the future. It makes me proud and hopeful for the future.
