eRussia

After successfully defending Alaska from an eRussian attack last week, today, the eUSA attacked the eRussian-controlled region of Far Eastern Russia. The attack seeks to regain control of the region's high titanium resource. As with the last time the eUSA attacked the region, both the EDEN/Brolliance and Phoenix alliances are expected to mobilize most of their forces to the battle. Given that there are few other battles happening in the eWorld today, the battle is shaping up to be a major confrontation.

Due to the fact that both eNation’s MPP have been activated, the eUSA’s attack will include help from its 12 allies and eRussia will be joined on the field by its 17 allies. As of 11:17 (eRep time), with over 8 hours left in the battle, there were already over 600 soldiers on the battlefield. The number of soldiers is expected to increase dramatically as Defense Departments around the world are issuing orders for their citizens to fight in the region today.

The battle is slated to wrap up around 19:00 eRep time.

eAustralia

For the last month eAustralia has been under the political control of eIndonesia. While the political take-over group (PTO) claims to be acting independently from the eIndonesian government, many articles published in eIndonesia would indicate that this is false, and that the regime receives regular direction from their native eNation.

In a news release today, former eAustralian Prime Minister and long serving Senator Xavier Griffith, advised RL eAustralians to not give up the fight against the PTOers. The article stressed that aid may be on the way for the eNation. Griffith noted that he had been in communication with EDEN High Command and confirmed that plans are in the works to free eAustralia from their political capture. While plan details were not revealed, the announcement provides hope for the hundreds of eAustralians that fled the eNation after the PTO; that they may soon be able to return to their native eNation, free of eIndonesian control.

Wars in Central Europe

ePoland was successful in their re-capture of the former eCzech Republic region of Northern Bohemia from eGermany yesterday. Today, however, eGermany once again, attacked ePoland in an attempt to re-take the region. Should eGermany succeed, the region will have changed hands four times in the last week.

The attack today, should be a relatively quite battle as its finishing time coincides with the last hour of the attack in Far Eastern Russia and neither of the eNations will be prioritizing the attack in Northern Bohemia over the battle in eRussia.

On the heels of ePolands victory, eItaly attacked Tyrol, eAustria today. While it is expected that eAustria’s neighbors (eGermany and eHungary) will come to their defense, as in previous attacks from eItaly, this battle may see different end results, with eItaly receiving help from their new ally: ePoland.

For background on the wars in Central Europe between ePoland, eGermany, eAustria, eItaly and the eCzech Republic, read previous articles.

eThailand

eThailand’s PTO government, led by well known eIndonesian Luthfisnet, has continued its mission of destroying the eThai economy through imposing trade embargos with EDEN/Brolliance eNations. Today the eNation’s congress will be voting on its newist proposal, a trade embargo against eCanada. Should the embargo pass, eCanada will join the list of 9 other eNations that the current regime has imposed embargoes against including:

eRomania
eCroatia
eSpain
ePoland
eUSA
eIsrael
eChina
eGreece
