Response to Comments: Is the War on Belgium a Training War?
Topdop
I realize that many of those associated with the government have been making comments on some of my previous articles that imply that the war on Belgium is just a practice; that we will basically give the land back after we have some Battle Heroes and True Patriots from our conquest. This is extremely irrational on many levels, so I will divulge into how.
1. Belgium is not allied with the United Kingdom. Therefore, officially, we can cream the snot out of them and they can't retaliate (beyond a resistance war, that is). This means that Belgium is being too trusting of the UK, since I believe that some military units will order for their troops to "fight for the UK in Flanders" or "fight for the UK in Brussels", etc.
2. I'm going to shoot down the comments that we're "letting Belgium win" this war: they're just plain wrong. We're creaming and conquering, and I wouldn't be surprised if Belgium was wiped off the map by 11:59:59 ET tomorrow.
3. We've conquered Flanders, and are about to conquer Brussels. If this was "just a training war", we'd be seeing a Resistance War in Flanders, and we wouldn't be creaming Belgium in Brussels right now.
Therefore, I believe that these comments are government propaganda meant to discourage the Belgians. If that's what it is, then I'm sorry for exposing it, but in my next article, I will explain why I am anyways.

Hello. I'm guessing you've had an account in erep before or is this your first? It's your choice who to believe but I think time will tell unless you know something I don't. In which case I'd love to hear in your next article.
w....t....f is this guy on! lol
Seriously... its a training war. We have had one several months ago against the Belguims. Take this opportunity to get some TP Medals and gold.
your 4 days old, you got a lot to learne young man.
Belgium are very good friends so it was arranged to just have a training war between our nations so we can all get true patriot medals for damage dealt on behalf of our country...reward of 5gold helps \o/
Fighting for allies is noble and very, very worthwhile but younger players rely on gold, which is why training wars are around for the true patriot medals.
Keep up the articles though and dont be discouraged. Voted and subscribed.
We've heard former and current CP saying this is just a Training War, so let it be like that. Try to cover other aspects of the game (ie. economy or politics) my friend...
Its a TW : )
But, yea, I can see why there might be a desire to expand our borders. We are not, currently, allied to Belgium, but, well, we are at war with them!
Posting articles, whether right or wrong is definitely the way to buddy. You live and you learn
