PEACE Grasping For Straws
Desertfalcon
Not long after PEACE was pushed out of North America the leaders of PEACE began to focus their efforts on a different part of the globe, eastern Europe. Two major fronts have broken out, one in Finland and the other in Croatia. Russia also tried to make a move on Alaska to continue the war in North America. PEACE has won a few battles but most of those wins were due to the fact that the other side retreated and so far PEACE has been dominated in their new offensive quests.
The largest front of the war had to be the one in Croatia. Serbia, Hungary, and Slovenia all teamed up to attack Croatia in hopes that the three pronged attack and the strength of Hungary would be enough to take out a key rival of PEACE in the Balkans. Unfortunately for PEACE they activated 14 MPPs and the Croatians took advantage of that to fend off PEACE on all fronts. This attack gives Croatia a huge advantage in the long run since as long as they don't attack any of those three countries or declare peace they have a large stockpile of near permanent allies who will be able to help out. With the cost of MPPs going up to 100 gold this will save Croatia a good amount of gold and give them an extra level of protection.
Another major front is the war in Finland. This war has been active since the middle part of the hundred days war, however now things have heated back up. At first Russia was able to take the region of Oulu, Latvia also jumped in on the action and managed to take Southern Finland. After these two losses the Finish started to retreat, this is likely an effort to reduce PEACE's borders with Finland to just one. With PEACE having only one region to attack PEACE wouldn't be able to launch two attacks at once and they would be forced to win the current battle if they want to keep the initiative. Currently Finland is handling themselves quite well in Western Finland as they have already fended off the Latvians and are holding their own against the Russians. The war also activated 6 of Finland MPPs which should help them out later.
Russia tried to continue the war in North America by attacking Alaska again. President Gaius Julius though, wanted none of that and retreated the region that America had just regained days ago just as soon as the Russians wasted quite a bit of damage. Russia gained a key region but they weren't given much time to advance further since Canada launched an attack on Russia soon after. The battle lasted only six hours before the Russian president retreated, eliminating Russia from North America once again. The region will likely be returned to the U.S. soon and the U.S. will have the chance to invade Russia again with more MPPs then ever before. While many Americans support a counter offensive into Russia as a form of revenge it is also worth noting that once we attack Russia we lose the MPP edge we now posses.
I hope you enjoyed today's article. Despite these few battles I would still say the majority of the war is over so long as the Americans and Croatians don't counter attack. These updates won't be daily anymore since the war is over for the most part but I will still try and get a wrap up article out every two or three days.

Haha, its too long to count how many days it been now
LETS GET FER!RAHHH
@ Leilei:
That's exactly what PEACE said 100 days ago. LOL
counter offensive into Russia
i support we cant just play DEF we need to attack. no guts no glory.
Thoughtful article as usual. Voted.
Go Brolliance!
Go eUSA!
counter attack to Russia, liberate the rest of China and north korea, leave
lol
i hope the war continues, i dunno what to do with out my daily DF article 🙁
EDEN is definitely on the ascent but its fallacy if someone thinks PEACE will roll over. There has been very little involvement by France and Brazil have huge reserves.
The war seems likely to carry on for quite a while now, might perhaps even intensify in the coming weeks. Superb for the economy 🙂 the sad thing is that we have been so used to war, I do not think any nation could afford a world without it!

MoFA, india
since peace went on this MPP activation spree i cannot wait until new ones cost 100 gold. now we will have a massive advantage in possible future battles where countries can only afford 4 or 5 MPP's and we have 14 to 17 on our side.
WOOOHOOO!!!!!
I thought gauis said that we were goin to let Canada keep Alaska??
i'm starting to suspect that there is an script written how this game advances... i mean really, we've had the hundred years war in RL and here we got hundred days, c'mon 😃
someone is pulling strings from the shades
great job
Love your articles, DF, very informative. 's where I go for my news. Personally, I'd rather see us get some revenge on those yellowbellied Brits, first, Russians second. I don't take betrayal lightly.
QUALITY INCREASING AGAIN, DF!!!
some days it's just frustrating to read lame article after lame article. it's always a relief to open a Global Defense Report and read Desertfalcon's fair assessment of events.
There is no reason for us to attack Russia, that's just silly. At this point, it is more important that we help protect our allies.
Jewitt/Pig GO FEDS!
Thank you for your paper.
Please learn the difference between then and than.
Damn fine article.
grammer! XP...
nice article
I feel like if we start counter attacking though that we might be starting to spread ourselves too thin. We don't want to lose all of our land again. Having the MPP edge is good and it might be a good idea for us to keep that edge.

Yeah, let's stay on the defensive and see what's going on. We can't make a blunt attack on any country, even though PEACE is fighting multiple countries at once. There's too much at risk trying to get back at Russia. Let's just keep growing and help defend our allies.
Uhm... Russia took Eastern Finland, Oulu and Lapland. Once they attacked Lapland, it was retreated so the Swedes can attack the Russian controlled region and block the Russians from advancing.
All the rest of the regions apart from Lapland are now back in Finnish control after the admins changed the retreat ruling so that the defending side can still retreat after the 6 hours. Promptly using this to their advantage the Russians retreated like the dogs they are.
Thank you once again for your inability to know your own game, admins! God knows these sudden, unannounced rule changes are appreciated.
As usual, eMerickan journalist is weak at geography 😉

You should really look up where Croatia and Finnland are. Neither of them are in eastern europe... Just a thought
Well, Finland is in Eastern Europe but it's considered part of the Western World. Slightly confusing paradox, I know.
"Despite these few battles I would still say the majority of the war is over so long as the Americans and Croatians don't counter attack."
Lol!
As always weak knowledge of erepublik . Mpp's in Croatia are actived couple of months ago , and that front isn't new .
And Alsaka will be soon in hands of Russia not USA .
Thanks god on Peace they make this game interesting , and you make it very boring with your defensive tactics and you all afraid to make counter attacks and ruin games fun.
eden propaganda!

>> the U.S. will have the chance to invade Russia again with more MPPs then ever before.
MORE? 8 (eRussia) vs 15 (eUSA). What kind of advantage do you need? 8 vs 20,30? 😵 Very interesting game, indeed.
