Day 10 -

North America

Yesterday, a battle was opened in North Dakota. Spain jumped out to an early lead, but during the evening and night, the United States pushed the battle back, and ended up taking a lead into the early morning hours. Spain and ONE dominated most of the day; but in the final battle, the Americans pulled out the win. It cost thousands of gold, for a state that had just recently been liberated. The long term effects of this battle remain to be seen, but for the time being, it is a massive morale boost for America, and Terra.

FREEDOM!!!

In other battles across North America, South Dakota was attacked by Spain, and it is looking like the Spanish will prevail. This region was also freshly liberated.
Hungary attacked and conquered New Mexico. The idea behind these series of Resistance Wars, and subsequent attacks, is to keep the war open. If the war is closed, America stands a much better chance of being able to resistance the regions without having ONE continually retake them.
In this same thread, Arizona is being liberated from Indonesia. This will allow Hungary to attack the region and continue the war. Either way, Texas is a free state, and will keep the war with Hungary open.

Hungary remains at war with the United States

South America
Brazil continues to win battles against Peru, however they are of the Resistance variety. This bodes well for the Brazilians, and might be a sign that they can turn this war around. Also, the last Brazilian region in South Africa has just finished the first mini battle in the Resistance War. South Africa won. Brazil will probably surrender this region, as it no longer presents a direct route to their capital, and is useless economically. Lastly, a Resistance has started in the North of Brazil. Spain is currently up by a few battles, but Terra will likely shift their resources their, after the victory in North Dakota.

Europe
Mexico is continuing to see surprising success against Portugal. They currently hold a 2-1 lead in the battle for Centro. It is surprising that the Mexicans have made it this far. So far, the attacker has seen little success in this war, so this outcome is surprising.

Overall Outcome
The victory in North Dakota is a massive morale boost to Terra. However the inability of America to retain these liberated regions is perplexing. They are started in the worst possible time, and by the time most Americans wake up, the battle is over, more or less. One of the things that would benefit this war greatly, would be if the United States could get a win in a regular battle. This would allow the nation to start battles when it is best for them. Until then, it is likely that we will see a pattern of Resistance War wins, only to lose the state within a few days.
Also, the long term fallout from the battle in North Dakota remains to be seen. In this current age of warfare, there really aren’t anymore super important battles. There are just a lot of battles. However, there was a lot of gold spent, on a region that is not super important. Perhaps, Spain will be forced to rethink how far the Americans willing to go to preserve their country.
