Join the new world

The journey we’ve been on this last month hasn’t been that exciting. A lot of you are bored, and are crying out for some spastic attack on Indonesia or Mexico. We must, as a nation, restrain ourselves, and continue on our mission. To use the metaphor of a rollercoaster, we’ve been on the hill climb section. Then, the chain broke, and we were stuck at the top.



Terra has carefully constructed a plan that, if successful, will secure Germany and France and punish Poland for its unwarranted aggression. After a few successful battles against Poland, it became clear that Germany could not sustain the war, and the introduction of True Patriot doubled this problem.

True Patriot encourages each country to prioritize its own battles, and individual citizens to fight in their own countries battles. To this end, more than ever, the most powerful states will be more unstoppable in war. While we can try to coordinate, have Campaign of the Day and MU orders on allied battles, it is an uphill climb. The United States does a fine job of attempting to send as much damage abroad. Seal Team Six and the Special Forces are famed across the New World for the lightning fast attacks and devastating damage for our allies. Still, much damage is wasted. The United States can have 5 Resistance Wars at once, in UK, Mexico, Spain, France, and the Netherlands… each RW round is won by at least 20%, meaning 10% overkill at LEAST. To the best of my knowledge, the USA has not lost 1 round in a RW since the introduction of True Patriot.

So, what to do? The only way to combat that is to get our largest nations head on against their larger nations, and drain them through multiple battles. To that end, the United States maneuvered through the UK, after our initial goal of ending the Canadian-UK war was met, and moved onto the European mainland in Denmark, which Germany RW’d for us. This is a two purpose move. One, Germany remains safe in 3 regions behind USA and Sweden, and two, Poland would eventually need to conquer Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg, the region bordering the USA.



Poland has done all it can do delay this meeting, attacking it last, and successfully RWing Bavaria from Hungary so they could delay it one day longer. They have finally been forced to attack SHH, and the German-Polish war will close then. At that time, the United States will NE Poland and Poland will likely NE the United States. Whoever NEs first will pick the timing of the first battle.

I will not lie to you, this will be tough. We might lose. But you guys wanted a challenge, and this is it. This is our opportunity to fight a major war on the European continent. This is our moment; this is what we’ve been building towards.

With Artela re-elected, America will be in safe hands during this war. Once again, I will not lie. There is a good chance USA won’t be able to beat Poland. But with Artela at the helm, we stand our best chance. If we fail, we will be having a rematch down the road, but on the North American continent.

So vote Artela to keep America Safe, and Keep America Strong.

Vanek26, SC of TERRA, USA NSC Chairman

One of the first and most important areas of integration for the UM was new avatars. Why bother talking about forums, irc channels, and supply issues when avatars are needed? The esteemed Deificus was put into action, and produced a masterpiece:

Because he's Pfeiffer he needed a 2nd one, too:


I prefer the first one personally.
Anyhow, if you don't like women or something, we got other types, such as mine:



Or if Link isn't your thing, perhaps you'd like these:




Anyhow, I'd like to thank Deificus, Bishop M, Damien Wolf and I'm probably forgetting someone else for avatars.

Coolsauce.

And finally, I'd like to thank Glove, Avruch, Deerslayer, and xDavidx for welcoming us into the USAF family with open arms.
