MAJOR WARS
Iberian War
Before
After
Belligerents: Portugal, China vs. Spain
Results: I think we can clearly see the results of this week's battle. Spain has fallen completely under enemy occupation...again. Seriously, Spain, get your act together! Portugal and China worked as one collective unit, coordinating their attacks to strike with lethal force. The end result? The wipe of Spain. Serbia awaits, China!
Winner (this week): Portugal, China
Winner (campaign): Portugal, China
War of Hungarian Conquest and Polish Intervention
Before
After
Belligerents: France, USA, Germany vs. Hungary, Poland
Results: What started as an easy victory for the forces of TEDEN quickly turned for the worse as Poland declared war. USA had seized all of northern Hungarian France, and France had RWed back its eastern lands, and even Germany pitched in, capturing some of the south while also RWing lands from Poland. But Poland's intervention has caused some complications. As relative equals, Poland and USA are locked in close combat. Still, Hungary has caused mass chaos in French lands, with scattered borders and random RWs popping up out of the blue. Poland has started a push into American France, with the initiative in its hands.
Winner (this week): France, USA, Germany
Winner (campaign): Hungary, Poland
Turkish Revolution
Before
After
Belligerents: Turkey vs. Bulgaria, Serbia
Results: Turkey's victory seemed inevitable. Having knocked Bulgaria down to two provinces, a quick wipe was within reach. But Serbia had other plans.
Attacking Turkey, Serbia took Bulgarian lands, while also helping Bulgaria revolt its way back. Bulgaria has since reclaimed every last territory, and has started a counter-assault on Turkey, passing Istanbul into the heart of Turkey. Despite this, Turkey holds onto lands still.
Winner (this week): Bulgaria, Serbia
Winner (campaign): Turkey
Macedonian War of Aggression
Before
After
Belligerents: Greece vs. FYROM
Results: Just when Greece thought it could rest easy, FYROM stormed back, capturing border provinces left and right. FYROM has quickly taken advantage of Greece's lethargy, and appears finally ready to push Greece out once and for all. But Greece isn't giving up, instigating revolts in their conquered lands and making FYROM's conquest as difficult as possible.
Winner (this week): FYROM
Winner (campaign): FYROM
NEW WARS
Chinese Liberation of Italy
Start
Belligerents: China, Croatia vs. Serbia
Results: Heck, yeah! Fresh off the whooping of Spain, China's moved on to help Croatia contain the Serbian menace. Croatia's done fine on its own, taking two provinces, but has since lost the initiative. China's rushing through Sardinia to attack Serbian Italy, but first must hold onto Sardinia as Serbia has the initiative. China must step up its game or be trampled.
Let me know if you want me to discuss any other wars! Deadline is midnight, day 1,657! Until next time, take care!
Comments
I like the breakdown of having two types of winners (weekly vs campaign)
voted, of course
You should update this article to include the China/Serb war, which has started with Serbia kicking China's ass. Also, Poland won against U.S., giving them initiative against them.
Just a quick update, because those battles had not started/ ended when you were writing this
Done ; D
yay!
Great article and well ilustrated as usual. Keep them coming!
I was not expecting the US to lose against Poland in Franche Compte. I believe the Poles will now strike Lorraine at around 1:00 eRep time. If they strike any other region they will be having a border with France. No wonder why the US handed Loire Valley back to the French yesterday.
Very good article o/
