[EN] HAIL BULGREECE --> FAIL BULGREECE --> ??????????????????? [PART 1]

Strategic Analysis:

We observe these days how much fury and costs conducted in this war. Many people thought it was wrong and some still believe it. The relations between Bulgaria and Greece from

Hail BulGreece!!
were led to
Fail BulGreece!!

Overcoming the events that led to this situation, I will avoid expressing my personal opinion. We will analyze the tactics and strategy each country used and we will seek to make an estimate of the situation which was created.
If we take a good look at the progress of Bulgaria we will observe the following:

Bulgaria:

A) Bulgarians know the meaning of “cut”

Bulgaria declared war on Turkey in pursuit of the “cut” in the Middle East.
Initially they attacked to Vanzadaran and Golidistan and then to Northest Iran. Doing so, they achieved the desired “cut” of the Turks which detracted from them a great amount from their bonuses.

Bulgarians used similar tactic to attack Greece in Lower Egypt through the Aegean Islands in order to “cut” the Greek’s bonuses into half.

Obviously the Bulgarians orchestrate their attacks in such way so to hit our bases and to detract the financial advantage of us. They segregated us in two parts since they were making great damage in all the RW which started in Egypt and especially in the RW at Lower Egypt.

Β) Bulgaria knows how to take advantage of NE.

Some days ago all e-Greeks felt great enthusiasm in the winning against the 50 millions of Flausino. Some of them became very critical and they supported that the 50 millions of Flausino were thrown to the garbage. Additionally they made fun of Flausino changing his nick to Fail-sino.

The truth is that as easy it was for Greece to conquer the Plovid the day before, so difficult it was to keep it. However, the victory was achieved and this brought satisfaction to the Greek camp.

Beyond that, Greece won the most battles, relatively easily, and in combination with the NE of Romania to Bulgaria, achieved full occupation of the latter.

This was commented upon by many in ironic way, as the return of Bulgaria to the EDEN.

Unfortunately, as easy is for Bulgaria to get conquered so easy is to get released.

The plan of the Bulgarians is pretty simple:

We don’t hit the Greeks when they have us as N.E.
On the contrary, we hit Greece at R.W. (one versus one war)

As Flausino had thrown 50 million to the garbage in the fight for Plovid, Greeks throw 5 million (actually, much more if we estimated the total damage of the battle).

The same will happen later with Skopje.

Greece has decided to defend Macedonia against the attack of FYROM, although with a numeric disadvantage. Despite the successful outcome of the battle, 10% from the 3 billion of damage (300 million) goes for the Greeks in garbage.

* in fact, it wasn’t 300 millions since foreigners, who didn’t have the advantage of the bonus from the N.E. fought for Skopje.

**also the battle damage was less than 3 billion. Evidence can be found here

C) Bulgarians hit always in R.W.

Unfortunately, this game is designed in such way that the more countries you have conquered the harder is to keep them, due to the ease with which the R.W. are opened.
As Greece holds over Egypt and a part of Saudi Arabia
faces 4 wars per day. By adding the bigger part of Bulgaria, wars are increased to 6, leading to hyperextension of the country. Moreover, if we add the war with Skopje wars reach the number of 7 per day.

D) Bulgaria reinforces Greece’s internal crisis.

In the early days of the war daily logs were published in Bulgarian newspaper of the country's president hawkoulis.
Immediately controversies began and many spoke of betrayal of the President.
He asked his friend from the congress to release law about him being dismissed for president while on the same time he uploaded in his newspaper article in which he admitted that the logs were all true and that he wanted to leave.

* This article has been deleted even though it had surpassed the 100 votes.
However, the defense ministry in a statement claims that the logs were falsified.

The Ministry’s announcement is here:

The internal unrest in Greece about the logs in combination with the fact that many people were at first opposed to the war against Bulgaria, makes most Greeks unconcerned about the battle in Burgas (the second battle against Bulgaria), in which Greece was defeated and gave the right of initiative in Bulgaria (although Bulgaria re-lost it).

The truth is that NOBODY ever cared and considered about:
HOW, WHERE and WHY these logs leaked.

Bulgaria wins precious time while Greece is sabotaging itself by expecting the president's impeachment and the final official position of the country (Are Bulgarians our enemies or not? Finally, what attitude are we going to follow?).

The Bulgarians turn against Turkey and manage to cut the Turkish bonuses, while on the same time Skopje are prepared to establish a law declaring Greece as N.E.

* to mention, the Bulgarian president, in a statement to the Bulgarian people (in Bulgarian, not in English), reported his surprise about how this war finally managed to unite all Bulgarians.

Greece:

After the outset of the war between Bulgaria and Turkey, Greece announced Bulgaria as a Natural Enemy.

As we can see in the comments of the Bulgarians’ newspapers, we will realize that they didn’t like this move. (in fact this move reversed their plans about Turkey completely).

When Greece declared Bulgaria as NE knew that there was not any special benefit from additional bonuses. The fact that Greece is the only country of EDEN bordering with Bulgaria and Skopje, will led to a double front.

As a result of the above:

A) Greece has led to over-spread addressing 6 and 7 wars per day and the exertion to win in all wars weakens the Greeks, who ignore the rule that impressive victories at the beginning lead to fast and short defeats.

Β) Greece, in a way is 'sacrificed' for the Turks because it gives them the necessary time to recapture the lands lost by Bulgaria by 'reconnecting ' and taking back their bonuses.

C) Greece and Romania sent along the capital of Bulgaria in Russia, a move highly significant (though short-term value). After liberation from Greece, Bulgaria in order to gain the bonuses back must accept the loss of each Russian province that possesses in order for each region to be adjacent to the 'new' capital.

D) Greece depletes damage reserves, losing in this way its strong weapon (the threat to use them). This also hits the Greek economy in an indirect way. For example, in the battle of the 50 million with flausino in Plovid many Greeks achieved damage from 1 to 7 million. In many other battles, this amount of damage would definitely mean B.H. (for more than one). On the contrary, the amount of the damage of Bulgaria was achieved from only one player who has repeatedly demonstrated willingness to spend real money in the game.
The war damages small players who were storing damage for so long and were keeping their RL money out of the game.

E) Additionally, it is proved that the Ionian islands are poor choice as capital because they aren’t associated with the majority of the bonus territories. The best place for capital of Greece is the Lower Egypt and immediately after the Red Sea coast. Although e-Greeks don’t accept this fact, Egypt in combination with Saudi Arabia gives more bonuses than the original territories of Greece. Furthermore, having as a capital a "conquered" area, gives you the advantage to change it whenever it is convenient to you, by 'supporting' a R.W. in which you get defeated.

F) Greece through cutting the borders between Turkey and Bulgaria manages to turn against to two N.E. thus making 1vs1 to 2vs1.

Turkey:

In contrast to Greece, Turkey tries to keep all the battles and the bonuses. So, Turkey handles the situation completely different by giving priority to the fight against Bulgaria and by accepting to lose the bonuses temporarily.
Turkey holds a province of Pakistan, entire Iran, a part of Saudi Arabia and all the United Arab Emirates. Therefore, it knows how vulnerable it is when fighting in many R.W. as the risk of dividing its damage and the risk of exhaustion when fighting in many R.W. is imminent. So, Turkey concentrates on the war with Bulgaria and is indifferent to the United Arab Emirates, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia R.W. It also gives little emphasis to Iran.

With the help of Greece from the west (which has declared Bulgaria as N.E)
Turkey gains the necessary time to rejoin with its bonuses and with the help of China from east exempts from Pakistan (which after its release immediately declared Turkey as N.E.) and from Iran.
