EDEN is losing the Balkans
8-3=1
Yesterday there was a good fight in Sofia (formerly belonging to Romania, now Serbia). It was a 1/1 battle in which Romania lost. Looking at the battle statistics, we will see that the difference was made by the Hungarian and Russian armies fighting together with Serbia.
EDEN did not consider necessary to send troups (only Croatian army came independently). This time there was no major war happening anywhere on the globe requiring some important moves of armies. This is a quite a strategic mistake for the following reasons:
a. Romania is obviously feeling that there is no support from EDEN towards them. There were already (independent) voices in Romania complaining about the lack of support from the allies in previous campaigns. Today it was the President of Romania who said it more than clearly:
"[Infrangerea din Sofia]...este dureroasa mai ales prin prisma lipsei suportului unor tari pe care Romania le-a ajutat sa-si revina de la o singura regiune, sa obtina regiuni iron-high, sa stearga tari de pe harta sau sa isi pastreze teritorii."
"decizia mea (pe care mi-o asum 100% si care este valabila pana la sfarsitul mandatului, urmatorul presedinte avand libertatea de a face ceea ce doreste) este ca Romania sa isi limiteze semnificativ ajutorul acordat aliatilor (cu exceptia Croatiei) in operatiunile desfasurate in afara granitelor Romaniei"
This should make EDEN diplomacy a bit worried and perhaps they should take some steps to resolve the existing situation.
b. It is quite obvious that EDEN do not consider the Balkan region to have a strategic importance. Many voices considered the Romanian campaign in Bulgaria and Turkey to be absolutely pointless, but it created the background for several wins of the allies in West Europe and Asia. With Balkans being quiet, Phoenix regained the initiative in West Europe and they will use UK and RWs in French and German regions to make EDEN life more and more miserable.
c. It seems now that Phoenix gives more and more attention to the region. Previously it looked like it is going to be an EDEN territory (with Romania wiping out Bulgaria and bordering with Greece; Ukraine getting closer and closer to EDEN via diplomacy, Greece using a lot of resources in the war against Turkey). Since then Phoenix operated with much better coordination (Hungary, Serbia and Russia) and they are now having initiative and gaining regions in the area.
For all the reasons above, it looks like EDEN will be losing the war in the Balkans. The perspective of a Phoenix invasion in Croatia and Romania is not far away and this time they might succeed due to much better coordination of attacks compared to EDEN defense. A lot of pressure will be put on Poland to assist the defense in the region, so Poland must decide whether they will remain involved in West Europe only or start behaving like a super-power who can fight on two fronts.
From "across the pond", except Canada attack on UK it all seems quiet. USA is probably waiting to get involved against UK, but it might be simply too late. Meanwhile, the fortress of Balkans might lay in ruins.
The equilibrium of the game might be severely impacted and USA might need to show as a true leader of EDEN not only by asking for allied support for their offensive campaigns, but also by being forced to move their armies across the globe to defend the allies. Also the dream to attack Hellongjiang is now far away and another attack (with a chance of success) will not be possible in less than 2 weeks from now.

I would suggest translate Andyr's words into english, perhaps add a link to his article.
Nope its their own fault they have lost Serbia did some 2,2 milion damage (when you add upp parts of our army in BiH) while Romania did some 1,8 milion with their armies from Ukraine and Belgium.
Romania can do much more damage it is obvious they didnt try hard enough for some reason or maybe they leaned too much on allies
"USA might need to show as a true leader of EDEN"
WTF o.O Do we play the same game?
@Vitortomic: it is not exactly correct. Serbia made 2.2mil damage, Romania+Ukraine+Belgium+Moldova(i.e. the traditional citizenships of Romanian users) made the same damage which is the usual one for a fight.
Difference was Hungary+ Russia (600K damage) compared to Romanian allies (about 260K damage mostly Croatia and Spain). The only reason why Hungary did not do more damage was that it was not necessary. Am pretty sure they had more power to strike at the end of the battle.
@Radar.2: not "the" leader, I said "a" leader. 🙂
we just lost a battle ...sofia... but we don't lost the war... balkaan front is very important for eden ... and dont't forghet ... the battle between romanians vs sebians was win romanians ...and this must say many to our enymiees into a global war confruntation...
tru Vitortomic
voted... all respect for the allies that fought (hail Croatia)
Romania is not a part of Balkans
@Dan Rares: what about Bulgaria? 🙂
maybe some allies should reconsider their priorities, because the "buffalos" like miself which are not politicians consider very seriously about quitting the official army units and give a ... about oficial orders which state to help some "ally"-es.
except CROATIA and partially Greece wright now i do not care about others. when i fought "kamikaze" and/or with my own funds they appreciated our help. now they scratch themselves. i hope they enjoy it now. we`ll see if they enjoy later, in a few month.
we`ll be here, to fight on our own as we can ... and watch on they.

Well, as usual, USA sucks big time, keeping their hands under those huge fat asses and expecting everybody to fight for them when they need it. Their foreign policy it's simply described by words of JFK: "😉on't ask what Amerika can do for you, ask what you can do for Amerika". And the best answer to this kind of policy could be resumed in one word; NOTHGING.
No important battles?
How about: The final high region of Indonesia? Yeah, THAT is what is at stake down in SA. The choice was:
Finish Indonesia
or
Protect a low value region in the Balkans.
See why the eUS made the decision that it made?
lol...
@cam94509: oops, I didnt realize that. Sorry 🙂
Let's see how you act when you will be in defensive then
