Scandinavian wars

In case you are wondering what Sweden, Norway and the rest of the lot up north are doing

+following articles (interesting read if you like warfare and tactical planning in this game)


The swedes are doing some pretty nice tactical moves there.

nice articles indeed, subbed ^^ (need my sources for my own newspaper)

yeah indeed. Poland stands rdy to attack on many fronts and germany has brought slovenia to schleswig holstein to bring in some more actions.

sweden has to watch out however. Their currently only have an alliance with slovakia (their alliances signed 7 days ago seem to be all destroyed by taking ostlandet and vestlandet) and slovenia can attack sweden immediately once they have a common border. Slovenia is driving poland out of mecklenburg (-500k atm).
Denmark is right now a strategic wall, it's only at war with sweden and romania, meaning that, if germany or slovenia wish to pass, the DoW needs to get through first. (only serbia as ally, so germany and slovenia should still be ok with alliances for their attacks).

Yeah, this is an interesting conflict. I wonder if the UK will be invaded soon or not: they do have heavy MPP's rdy.

If the eUK is invaded I dare to say good riddance.
Ther president is a troll and a really big one.

Very interesting. These battles are quite close to us are they not? I doubt highly that anyone would try and get our neck of the woods involved but at least we have a 2nd row view...

Personally, I'd like to see Poland and her Scandinavian allies protect the countries up north against the bulk of the Phx forces.

"Sweden attacked Scania, Poland"

this seems odd to me ...
if slovenia gets mecklenburg and poland looses scania to sweden, nothing would stop the slovenians to rush into sweden en start fighting them on their home territory. why would Sweden do something like that? They don't have any MPP backup ...

If germany is wiped out we will be in danger no?

not necessarily. I don't see what Sweden would want with us. Germany is their long time mortal enemy. They are e-rep equivalent of RL Israel en Palestine

I hope you are right.

unless ofcourse they go on rampaging territory rage, but I've worked with allot of Swedish governments and It's just not in their nature to do untactical landgrabs.

Yes I know but its pretty scary to see what they have done to germany. I know that they won't be able to hold the territories for long.

now I see it
they've locked sweden up.
There's no open war between norway and germany or slovenia and not one possible. Which leans if PHOENIX wishes to move into sweden, they'll need a DoW on norway, which is gold and time consuming. But sweden can still perform hit and run attacks from behind norway. clever.

Agree nice strategy

Well well... So they've created a buffer zone. Simple yet oh so effective. I applaude the Scandinavian teamwork... Again, I like observing a good battle... Wonder who else will get involved...

They can call themselve viking

Well of course! They are great warriors of strategy (maybe not the first thing that comes to mind when you think of a viking but oh well!) and I respect them highly. Anyway, I wonder what will happen after Germany and her allies get stuck in a rut.

The viking were pretty smarts back in their time.

Well of course they were. If not they would not be even nearly as effective of a culture. However, that is not the first thing that comes to mind is it?

Well what come in mind first is cruel barbarian warrior.

image we've got due to the ones who controlled writing skills those days and thus the history and legacy of those times: the church. ironically, they were also the richest part of society those days and thus the most interesting ones to plunder, so they got it very hard ^^

but vikings were very skillfull people. Only not too organised enough on a global scale, which makes that they could rather easily be put against each other and divided once their opponents realised that (normandy for instance was given to a bunch of vikings with the orders to defend it against other vikings )

anyway, history class over, I want to see eVikings next move or PHOENIx next move against the eVikings

lol, are you speaking about a new scandinavian alliance?
haha, that would be funny, regional alliances :p.

Make me want to start a war. lol

with who and against who? :p
i vote to start a war against congo and let it be a colony of belgium once more

they've always had a sort of suballiance in which they all cooperated very strongly with each other.

But I also think that any action taken by PHX now will result directly in war with Bro-EDEN.

things should starting to become interesting and they do, lol @germany for being yet again the reason of a world war.

EDEN HQ responds to the situation

and britain showed balls (or boringdom)

they also started
http://www.erepublik.com/en/battles/show/10718

it's a initiative block to win time to arrange the MPP's for both eUK + Ukraine and to ship out Phoenix forces to those areas.

It's basically a strategic stall

sounds odd to me, why would they need more MPP's to defend ukraine and UK? they both already got MPP's from brazil, russia, hungary and serbia. If those aren't enough, there's something seriously wrong

Who will win this war?

depends on how much money they want to throw at it, how the situation in Asia evolves and who is going to attack who


you can't really say who's going to win

Indeed, you can't. EDEN can do one easy last resort thing : attack Liaoning again. Whole PHX will drop everything in order to help over there. If PHX is losing, an attack on RA or Aquitaine is possible but would drain less anyway.

well, such an attack on Liaoning would have to come from China again, since the americans have been driven out of Shandong and xenan.

I am glad we are not involved in all this mess.

>_> Well I've already said we're merely watching from the sidelines. I won't deny the negatives of war: costly, makes enemies, etc. But there are also positives since eR is based largely around its war module. Lol. I think it'll get bogged down, like most wars, and eventually either EDEN or Phx will get distracted by some other battle...
