Training War?

Day 1,172, 03:07 • Published in Australia

• by Chris Carnage

I'd like to thank our president for his latest cabinet update, a number of people have been calling for more communication and transparency and that article was an excellent start. It did raise an interesting question for me regarding the eChile situation.

I was an opponent of declaring Chile our NE and voiced my opposition both in the media and in congress discussion. It was sold as a war of conquest and given our history of being on the wrong side of economic colonisation I'm a bit averse to doing the same to others. I was in the minority there obviously, the law passed and we attacked Chile, I accept it and get on with life.

Sir_c0nstant gives us an outline of the events after that point in his update and explains that as the situation changed he "...had a meeting again with Chile and Bulgaria to find out how we could work around the situation we found ourselves in and came to a compromise set of battles which involved training wars centered around the 2 southern regions of Chile." So our conquest turns into a couple of training wars over southern regions, awesome!! I'm happy because we're not colonisers, people are generally happy they get to complete their missions and have a training bonus. Some people are probably a bit annoyed because they wanted to be colonisers but they get on with life.

But this is the most interesting training war I've ever seen. I dropped out of the game for a while and maybe I've missed something, but my understanding of a training war is that one country starts a battle they can't hope to win, everyone gets free fights, they eventually lose then 24 hours later start it again. This "training" war has seen eAus conquer Zona Austral and as I speak we're well on the way to conquering Zona Sur (minibattles are 5-0). What's the deal with that? Are we screwing up the training war? Are we planning to hand the regions back to eChile? Or...not? I'm not criticising policy here because to be honest I have NFI what the policy/strategy is but it seems to me that calling it a training war is patently untrue.

in the old days the 1 would start a battle they couldn't win over and over as training. with the auto attack rules thats no longer possible.

the plan here from what i understand though was that each side would lose every alternating battles intentionally or if aus does win a few, RWs could be sold off to Resistance medal chasers for returning regions back to Chile.

Well, i guess we'll lose zona sur then, otherwise eChile is down to a single region. Can't imagine they're enjoying this training war very much.

Another interesting fact: for some reason eChile is the most hated country on earth. Not only have eAus and eNZ declared eChile as a natural enemy, in a few more hours eArgentina will as well:
