USA Department of Defense
My fellow Americans:
Defend Louisiana:

DO NOT FIGHT IN ARKANSAS or NEBRASKA
Dig in and watch for updated orders.
DO NOT FIGHT IN BATTLES AGAINST COLOMBIA UNLESS RUSSIAN BATTLES ARE SECURE. 2-clickers and those not following DoD are a match for Colombia.
Canada Takes the Fight to Iran
Last night 24 hours elapsed since Iran declared war on Canada. Iran did not act and so Canada took the war to them in Yukon. Canada was victorious!!!

THE RUSSIAN ULTIMATUM
The Russian Prime Minister Smirnoff has demanded our capitulation. They have threatened to attack Florida. The Russian President parter has now crowned himself "Emperor" and has stated that he will spend as much RL money as is necessary to defeat us.
What does that mean for us? It means we must be ready to defend our stronghold. The attack will likely come at near server re-set while we sleep. We must be ready to give everything when the attack comes. Every American will be expected to over-fight. Fight 5 times, heal, work and fight 5 more times.
Why are we losing regions again?
1. Game mechanics. A nation with the initiative (on the offense) can remain on the offense so long as they start another battle before losing one. The eUSA is being tag-teamed by Russia and their pawn Colombia. So long as either has an open battle, the eUSA cannot attack back.
2. Time Zone Advantage. The attacker has the advantage of choosing the start (and also end) time of a battle. You will notice that most Russian battles started while the eUSA is sleeping. As a battle lasts 24 hours, this means it also ends while the eUSA is sleeping. Russia and her allies, particularly Indonesia have the luxury of fighting when there is essentially no resistance from the eUSA and our European and Western Hemisphere allies.
3.RL Money > Virtual Guns. Each attack costs gold. eRussia is paying for it's own mutiple battles, but also all of Colombia's blocking attacks. Tanking costs gold. eRussia is paying for other PEACE tanks to fight in contested eUS regions such as Tennessee. In conjuction with time zone advantage, Indonesia tanks in particular are very effective. eRussia has gold. The eUSA economy is wrecked by more than two months of continuous warfare and being nearly exterminated. We simply do not have the same financial resources as the enemy.
So what are you saying, General?
We have several disadvantages. It is best to see them eyes-wide-open. The result of this is that we are going to lose regions to eRussia. The best that we can do is make them spend as much gold as possible while we spend as little as possible until an opportunity arises for us to change the tide of war. The Department of Defense will do what we can to keep the citizens up to date on which battles are of high importance.

The eRussian president will literally sell his own house to win Florida. Let's make his parents mad.

i fought in arkansas!
Go Razorbacks!
Ursa Fi!
The Russian President has informed me that he is willing to sell unto his own home in order to secure victory. Let us drive a wedge between him and his parents.
Good luck!
We stand together o/
We need a counter attack... Don't you think?
2 vs. 1 is kinda hard to do.
Are we able to attack Columbia now?
did we just retreat Kansas from Columbia?
DEFEND THE CARDINALS!
We keep retreating and handing land over to columbia. "Columbia is not a threat" we are told. Then we are told " DO NOT LET COLUMBIA AND RUSSIA CONNECT". Take the initiative and dictate the war.
voted
Why do we keep retreating from Columbia? We're not launching any counter attacks on them...
We're going to loose more resources in the market place if we keep it up.
@IHOCreturns
We won't be able to take initiative until we are able to win *all* open battles. The strategy currently being used by Colombia and Russia makes it virtually impossible to get anything accomplished (offensively that is).
Dear concerned citizens who want to "counterattack" Colombia or "take the initiative".
The reason we do not "counterattack" is because the game mechanics do not allow it, not because the mil/US gov is unwilling to. When you are under attack _you may not attack anyone_. That's just part of how the war module works. One cannot simply "take the initiative", even if one really wants to, until they win every open battle against them. If Russia ever runs out of money or actually just "forgets" to open a new one, I'm sure you will see us "take the initiative" and "counterattack." I hope my explanation helped but the comments of a newspaper aren't always the best format for q&a. If you have more questions a great resource is eusforum.com.
Glad to see other eMericans interested in learning more about the game mechanics, thanks all for your concerns, and go team!
Columbia should be pushed away by couple RWs ASAP.
@IHOCreturns. We retreated in order to regain the initiative. Unfortunately, there was a bug, so we didn't get the initiative. The plan was to counter attack the Colombians.
@U - 235
I don't understand you. How? You were/are blocked by Russia when you retreated from Kansas. You had to retreated from the 2 russian attacks, but after 6 hours it was not possible, you forgot this rule. There was no bug (in this case)
"Take the initiative and dictate the war."
+1, And use your allies; we come here daily IOT receive directives and orders.
Honestly, I would have thought the eUSA would have learned the first time that retreating does not work. I guess retreating everything down to Florida (which was then protected by Portugal and their Peace treaty with the eUSA) and then gaining victories gave you a boost not only in morale but also in arrogance.
Instead of fighting a solid war, you allowed your arrogance and Emerick to sign an NAP with Mexico, who then betrayed it and allowed Colombia to move in and block you.
You need to start fighting smarter, not "harder". Start using the same cheap tricks PEACE GC does and regain the initiave.
Oh and ordering your soliders to live in forigen lands doesnt help much either. Sure it give your allies income but it weakens your walls, especially in florida and california.
When Russia comes to Florida we will be ready.
I will eat you i will eat you!
POSTED IN A RUSSIAN PAPER
Romulus quote:
"4. And finally, the most important thing.
If you somehow found out about the plan - do not act like individuals such as cakes and yelling about
it on every corner!
The only chance we have - surprise.
Only by attacking in unexpected, inappropriate for the enemy and convenient time for us, we can
to win. "
And what do we see?
And what then could be general secrecy? You would still be published in America and wrote
bold letters, "Florida will be attacked at 667th 23:30".
In general, all a good night. Our army protects us.

may i suggest that 15 seconds may be too close to the server's latency limit? 😛 perhaps 16.723 is the cutoff... 🙂 or maybe it varies according to wind, atmospheric pressure, phase of moon, galactic alignment, etc... it would be a real hash if PEACE forces were winning just by fighting honestly and not taking advantage of 'engine bugs'... 🙁 if so, we should modify our final retreat delay preset to accomodate for environmental condition-driven signal latencies, so we can win... 😐

HAIL EDEN
...or, perhaps, it is the best tactic to NOT retreat from battles we WANT to retreat from, so that the BUGGED engine will force us to retreat?
In Soviet Russia...Your Own House...Sells YOU!
We'll stand by your side as long as it takes. We made them spend a lot in hopeless attempts to beat us down and we'll make them spend even more.
EDEN & FORTIS FOREVER!!!
Orders received! OK people we can do this. While we all want to kick some MAJOR Ruskie/Columbian @#$ our best option is to follow our DoD's nad be ready in an instant to defend OR attack. Period!
The point of retreating is so that they have no open battles and US gets the initiative.
If you want, the US can fight defensive wars forever over states that cost little to no money to attack and nobody will get anywhere.
OR the US can be smart, retreat the right states and eventually win back the initiative and take back the rest of the continental US.
Long life to Russia !
"!Columbia should be pushed away by couple RWs ASAP."
true dat
bla bla bla...juts winning..do rw's against russia( in mississipi/alabama to secure florida)..against colombia.( in the zone that's mexican to cut them out and continue with other zones..) you give regions for nothing..in that way in 2 weaks you will be erased..🙁
You dont have the initative as canadians..they fight on two fronts ant kick a33es..ex Iran,.. You just aspect thaat something will fall..nope...they will attack and they will kick you really hard..if you dont attack..back.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! eUSA will fall!!! It will be an EPIC FALL!!!! 😃 😃 😃
It's not Columbia, it's Colombia !!
Geez..
GOOD LUCK AMERICA...->GREEK BROTHERS
What's mildly entertaining is that on the eRussian side there is talk of selling America back piece by piece at an extremely high price...which make it all the more ironic that go get that goal, the amount of money spent.
Oh yes, more then 100,000 rubles were recently donated.
It's true. Florida will be attacked at 667th 23:30. BUY GUNS, BUY GOLD. HOLD FIRE. http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-1-943591/1/all" target="_blank">http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-1-9[..]1/all
Florida will be attacked at 667th 23:30. BUY GUNS, BUY GOLD. HOLD FIRE. I speak russian. They was write that the goverment create the article with the time of attack when americans sleeping and then delete it. They created the article and then delete it.
BUY GUNS, BUY GOLD. HOLD FIRE.
If Florida is getting attacked at 667th at 23:30 then you're about 8 hours late in attacking. . .
Russia was attacking on 665 - didn't happen
Russia was attacking on 666 - didn't happen
Russia was attacking on 667 - didn't happen
Florida isn't going anywhere and just becomes more expensive to attack as time goes on. But Russia can keep dithering around forever and wait for Iran to get it's crap in order.
Dire Americans support Australia freedom !
