Quote of the Day:

“Excuses, technicalities and small print: the weapons of British warriors ” - hb741




eAsia

Today, eRussian led Phoenix forces initiated a resistance war to eUSA occupation of Far Eastern Russia. The resistance which commenced at 9:00 (eRep time) should be a very large battle, as Military directives ordering citizens from all Phoenix nations to move to the region and join the resistance have been sent out. (for more information about the importance of the region to Phoenix read previous articles).

About an hour (10:00 eRep time) following the launch of the resistance war for Far Eastern Russia, eRussian led Phoenix forces launched a resistance war in eChinese controlled Eastern Siberia.

The eUSA (seems to have-maybe BUG) retreated from the battle for Far Eastern Russia, however eRussia has taken advantage of the situation and attacked Alaska, USA at 10:40 eRep time.

At 11:00 eRep time, eSerbia attacked the ePolish controlled Inner Mongolia region of northern China.

The timing of these battles will most likely pose the most serious threat to EDEN forces with RL American and Canadians having to sacrifice a Saturday morning to participate. The “battle-royal” as eNetherlands sources are calling these actions, it slated to begin wrapping up at 9:00 (eRep) time tomorrow with each battle ending in succession ~ every hour.



eVenezuela

The eSpanish and eColombian campaign for the resource-rich western Venezuela heated up yesterday with eSpain's capture of the regions of Central Venezuela and Central Western Venezuela. Yesterday eSpain also attacked the Zulian region. eVenezuela responded yesterday by attacking Central Venezuela. Without assistance from other eNations, eSpain shouldn't have any trouble securing the region.



ePoland

The war for eCzech Republik (eCR) seems to have run its course, where ePoland will most likely refocus military efforts on the campaign for Russia. After assaulting eCR early this week, eGermany and eHungary stepped in and attacked ePoland's newly gained territories on eCR's behalf. Thus far eHungary has returned the region of Moravia to eCR and it is expected that eGermany will return Northern Boheimia shortly.

eUK and eFrance and eNetherlands[?]

The war raging in the eUK took an interesting turn yesterday. Following eUK's violation of the agreed ceasefire (in attacking North East of England, Canada) eCanada once again went on the offensive in counter-attacking both North East of England and bringing the battle back on eFrench territory in attacking Pays de la Loire, France (which eFrance successfully defend last night).

When eCanada had been so successful in it original assault on eUK (conquering all but 3 regions in the first week), the eUK only saw relief from the assault when Phoenix ally eFrance intervened in the battle for eUK, by attacking eCanadian held regions on the Brittish Isles. With their combined might eCanada has not made any additional region gains, however eUK and eFrance are also not pushing eCanada back as quickly as they had hoped. Yesterday the two Phoenix nations brought yet another ally directly into the war. eNetherlands land swapped into into the battle yesterday, helping eFrance set up a buffer surrounding London (without eFrance having to attack eUK territories and violate their MPP). It isn't expected that eNetherlands will directly assault eCanadian regions, but they have definitely played a large role in the war vs. eCanada.
