Invasion of the UK

Day 953, 05:22 Published in United Kingdom Germany by Skalg von Tuari
Background

Some while ago, Poland decided to take some Scandinavian regions. Why? No one knew. Maybe they wanted to rent high oil from Norway? Or they wanted to shield Sweden from Germany (that had activated MPPs against them and only Denmark to march through). Another possibility was also there - Poland has always wanted to get to America, be it through Mexico (which did not work when they were not PTO'd) or, as now, through Scotland. This was, of course, only an assumption; however, it was the most likely option.

Occupation of Scotland

They did not attack for quite some time - but when they did, they opened the battle with no less than 2,5 Mio points damage. Yes, they were serious and had planned this for a while. Now, what to do? 11 MPPs obviously were not enough to protect Scotland, and tanking with no end was no option either. So there had to be a block.

UNL helps us out

The plan was to let the United Netherlands take some of our regions (actually all but Wales, NI, London and SE of England) in order to block Poland until we gain iniative, after we retreat Scotland of course; but due to bugs, there was no "retreat" option. Also, America tried to block UNL and took one region. Oh, and in the meantime, the American president announced that Poland wanted to rent high regions in America; but they would also have a free route to South America (many high regions) and Asia (Lionking), so there are many, many targets.

UNL vs Poland/USA

Yeah, now UNL was attacked by both the US and Poland; the US stopped after gaining one region, but Poland attackes Northern Ireland, North East of England and North West of England. They wanted to have a border with Ireland and too many regions in the UK to be kicked out by one little mistake. We attacked West Midlands to actually stop the US from doing anything and started RWs in the other regions as UNL was no help anymore. Still, thanks UNL!

Ireland gets cookies

You wanted us to push teh button? Hey, there you go! However, now thing become really complicated, so I won't talk about single battles anymore. Both the UK and Poland tried to rush through Ireland in order to get to America; Poland even managed to take Connecticut, but we took it back today. Right now, we hold Connecticut, New Jersey and Newfoundland&Labrador, all taken either from Ireland or Poland. Poland took Cork and Kerry, which is their ground for any attempts to get to America. Ireland has 2 more MPPs now, with minor countries but still dangerous as we stand alone against them; further battles will be harder on their ground.

Sweden feels ignored

As soon as we gained initiative, EDEN got scared and sent Sweden to block us. We retreated (now it was possible!) and continued our attacks; now, Sweden is attacking Newfoundland and Labrador. But we have 12 MPPs against them, so the wall stands; also, we are still attacking NWoE, leaving Poland with only Y&H and NI on British soil.

Current situation

We have no Irish region, but all regions that they have tried to reach. If Poland loses their Irish regions, this is over for them; if they get an American region and they gain initiative, they will win.
