Latest information from the front lines

TURN 27 (December 31, 2020): Russia was unsuccessful on both their fronts (3MI & Copenhagen), and lost to the JSF at Springfield, so the tug of war in the American north continues. As expected, the Euros were beaten back at Reagan. They were also unsuccessful in landing at Okefenokee. The JSF is launching a three-prong attack out of Springfield (at Ft. Campbell, Grissom & Shenandoah Valley) while Russia attempts to take it from them. The Euros are engaged with the Spetsnaz at Arrabida and the JSF at Copenhagen. Will the New Year bring better tidings for the Americans? Stay tuned...

RSGB: 23
EFEC: 12 (-1)
JSF: 4 (+1)

SecondWar Timeline

TURN 26: The Russians successfully defended Grissom (JSF's primary front) thus retaking Springfield even though they lost their assault upon the territory. Since the JSF's primary front failed, they did not receive Shenandoah Valley or Ft. Campbell. They were also beaten back at Copenhagen; however the margin was slim even though the Euros had both air and ground supports. The Euros retook Arrabida and are making an attempt at Okefenokee today. Today, the Spetsnaz are giving Copenhagen a go and attempting to take 3 Mile Island while defending Springfield and Ft. Campbell from a JSF assault and a raid (respectively). The Euros are throwing themselves upon the JSF's spears at the U.S.S. Reagan Seabase.
RSGB: 23     EFEC: 13 (+1)     JSF: 3 (-1)

TURN 25: The JSF, refusing to go down without a fight, retook Springfield from the Spetsnaz by a slim margin and successfully defended 3 Mile Island and the raid on Reagan (but were unsuccessful at Glen Albyn). The Russians successfully defended the raid on Grissom and the European conquest on Okefenokee, receiving Arrabida in return. The JSF is launching a 3-pronged attack from Springfield, at Grissom, Shenandoah Valley and Ft. Campbell, while the Russians attempt to retake Springfield. Copenhagen, having defaulted back to the Euros after the bear lost Springfield, is now under attack by the JSF. The Euros are attempting to retake Arrabida.
RSGB: 23 (-1)     EFEC: 12     JSF: 4 (+1)

TURN 24: Except for Arrabida, Russia won all of their engagements again, including a knuckle-biting victory by a mere 20 points in Springfield that secured them the previously US-held territory of Copenhagen due to its isolation. The Americans are making a last ditch effort attempting to secure Glen Albyn from the Euros, while raiding Grissom Air base and trying to retake Springfield from the SPZ. The Euros are attacking Okefenokee, trying to reinsert themself into the U.S. region. The bear is raiding the U.S.S. Reagan Seabase while attempting to cut it off from Washington by attacking 3 Mile Island. If things go well for Russia today, the Spetsnaz could begin their three-stage annex of Washington tommorow.
RSGB: 24 (+1)     EFEC: 12 (+1)     JSF: 3 (-2)

TURN 23: Russia won all of their engagements (save for the raid on Ft. Campbell), stifling the U.S. and European presence in the American south. Today sees Russia defending multiple attacks out of Springfield, while trying to take it themselves. The Europeans have a single engagement, attempting to retake Arrabida from the Spetsnaz in western Europe.
RSGB: 23 (+2)     EFEC: 11 (-1)     JSF: 5 (-1)

TURN 22:
Christmas Day saw Russia securing the vital Maxwell air base. Today, the JSF are finally able to defend Copenhagen, possibly leading to a campaign in Europe... time will tell. Detailed report to follow.
RSGB: 21 (+2)     EFEC: 12     JSF: 6 (-2)

TURN 21: Europe is dealt quite a blow, and has lost all their prescense in the U.S. There is a new SPZ-Euro front at Wiltermarsch, just south of the U.S. foothold in Copenhagen. Detailed report to follow.
RSGB: 19 (+2)     EFEC: 12 (-3)     JSF: 8 (+1)

TURN 20: Europe's footprint in America grows. Detailed report to follow.
RSGB: 17 (-2)     EFEC: 15 (+2)     JSF: 7

TURN 19: Some shuffling but everything still looks familiar... Detailed report to follow.
RSGB: 19 (-1)     EFEC: 13 (+1)     JSF: 7

TURN 18:
Much of the same... Detailed report to follow.
RSGB: 20     EFEC: 12     JSF: 7

TURN 17: Deja vu. Detailed report to follow.
RSGB: 20     EFEC: 12     JSF: 7

TURN 16:
The Russian's primary frontline was an attack on Okefenokee out of JFK. This attack was successful, which means that the JSF attack on JFK out of Maxwell air base did not secure them the territory even though the Russian attack on Maxwell failed as well. Furthermore, since the attack on U.S.S. Reagan Seabase by the Euros originated from "nowhere", the JSF did not receive the defensive spoil of Glen Albyn. They did, however, win at Pascagoula against the Russians to gain more ground in their occupied south. Meanwhile, the Spetsnaz successfully defended both Shenandoah Valley and Chattanooga to receive Pamlico as a defensive spoil from the EF, though they failed to defend against the raid on Ft. Campbell so will be without army support in the U.S. for the near future. Today sees the Europeans making another doomed attack on the Reagan seabase, while trying to regain a foothold in America with the front lines of SPZ-held Okefenokee and Arrabida colliding. Also colliding are the frontlines between the JSF-held Maxwell airbase and the Russian-held JFK. The Americans are also attempting to take Chattanooga out of Maxwell.
RSGB: 20 (+1)     EFEC: 12 (-2)     JSF: 7 (+1)

TURN 15:
The Russians were finally able to best the Americans at JFK Space Centre, which should help solidify their position in the southern U.S. They also were finally able to move into Thessaly after winning there for three straight turns. The JSF lost at their primary frontline of Ft. Levski, so they did not receive Okefenokee even though they won the engagement against the Euros. Meanwhile, the EF took Pamlico back from the Russians but were unable to secure Maxwell airbase from the JSF. Today we are seeing many colliding frontlines resulting in mostly assault battles as opposed to conquests. The Euros are making a suicide assault on the U.S.S. Reagan Seabase. They are also trying to knock out the Spetsnaz' army support out of Ft. Campbell by raiding it from Pamlico while also harassing the Russian held territories of Shenandoah Valley and Chattanooga. The Spetsnaz, on the other hand, are trying to secure Okefenokee which would isolate Pamlico, nullifying any victories from there while simultaneously attempting to secure Maxwell air base from the Americans. The JSF are fighting outward from the isolated territory of Maxwell trying to retake JFK and Pascagoula from the Russians. Needless to say, where the primary frontlines fall may make or break any of the three factions this turn.
RSGB: 19 (+1)     EFEC: 14     JSF: 6 (-1)

TURN 14: Both the Spetsnaz and the JSF lost against each other on their primary colliding frontlines of JFK and Ft. Levski, respectively. This means that the Euros were able to keep both Thessaly and Okefenokee even though they lost in these engagements. However, their failed attacks on Chattanooga and Shenandoah Valley let Russia take Pamlico as a defensive spoil. Today sees the Euros trying to capitalize on their reprieve at Oke by attempting to steal the Maxwell air base from the Americans and fighting northward into Pamlico against the Russians. Meanwhile the JSF are attempting to take Oke out of JFK while fighting the colliding frontline of JFK/Levski against SPZ (a risky endeavour). The Russians will fight for Thessaly again.
RSGB: 18 (+1)     EFEC: 14 (-1)     JSF: 7

TURN 13:
The Euros were able to gain more ground in the U.S. by taking Pamlico from the Russians. While the Americans were successful in Okefenokee which should have pushed the Europeans out of America, they lost on their primary frontline of Ft. Levski so they did not receive the territory, and are making another attempt today. They did repel the SPZ and EF attacks at JFK and Maxwell to retain those isolated territories in the south. Russia won at Thessaly but lost at their primary frontline of JFK, so must fight in Thessaly again today. The EFEC is trying to branch out from Pamlico to take Shenandoah Valley and Chattanooga from the Russians, however they will find stiff resistance from the bear as it has both air and ground supports. The JSF are seeking to retake Okefenokee which would isolate the Euros and send them packing. The frontlines of JFK and Ft. Levski are colliding again.
RSGB: 17 (-1)     EFEC: 15 (+1)     JSF: 7

TURN 12: Russia definitely celebrated with a little too much vodka after turn 10 because turn 11 saw them give back all of their gains. They lost to the Euros in Okefenokee and Matera, and the Americans at JFK. They successfully defended Pascagoula and Chattanooga, but the JSF were able to disable army support out of Ft. Campbell. The JSF pounded the Euros at U.S.S. Reagan Seabase by a margin of nearly 6 to 1. Today is another day with many encounters with the Europeans trying to extend northward into the U.S. at Pamlico by taking it from the Russians while trying to secure air support in the region by taking Maxwell from the Americans.  The JSF are trying to retake the lost territory of Okefenokee from the Euros while making a risky play on Ft. Levski army base in east Russia from their isolated territory in the south. Meanwhile, the Spetsnaz have launched a counter-offensive, colliding the front lines. Of course, Thessaly is once again being taken back by the Russians after losing it to Europe at Matera.
RSGB: 18 (-3)     EFEC: 14 (+2)     JSF: 7 (+1)

TURN 11:
Russia continues its campaign of world domination.They defended the JSF raid on Grissom, ensuring air dominance in the region. They also defended the European attacks on Pamlico and JFK, taking Okefenokee as a result. Furthermore, they drove back the JSF attacks on Pascagoula and Ft. Campbell and took control of Chattanooga. They also retook Thessaly and will be fighting again for Matera. The JSF defended the EF attack on Maxwell and retain the territory even though it is now surrounded by bears. They are launching several attacks from there (on Pascgaoula, Chattanooga, and JFK). They are also attempting to raid Ft. Campbell. The Euros are trying to take Okefenokee from the Russians out of Arrabida while making a doomed attempt on the Americans posted at U.S.S. Reagan Seabase.
RSGB: 21 (+3)     EFEC: 12 (-2)     JSF: 6 (-1)

TURN 10: The Spetsnaz beat back the American attack at Carpathia, receiving Pascagoula for their efforts. The EF (once again) defended Matera and received Thessaly from the Ruskies (which SPZ will no doubt promptly take back today). The Americans defeated the raid on Maxwell Air force base and the conquest of Chattanooga by the European agressors. The Russians beat the Euros in Shenadoah Valley and received Pamlico in return. Today, the JSF are making an attempt at raiding Grissom, while simultaneously taking Ft. Campbell and Pascagoula, all out of Chattanooga. The Euros using Okefenokee as a staging ground, attempting to take Maxwell from the JSF while attacking the Russians to the north and south at Pamlico and JFK, respectively.
RSGB: 18 (+1)     EFEC: 14     JSF: 7 (-1)

TURN 9: The Euros were able to take Pamlico from the JSF, but lost at Maxwell Air base and JFK. They were able to retain Okefenokee however, and have now launched a raid on Maxwell and are attempting to take Chattanooga from the JSF. The Russians retook Thessaly and again are attacking in Matera. The JSF are attacking Russian soil in Carpathia from out of Pacagoula. The JSF failed to retake Shenandoah from the Spetsnaz, and now the EF are having a go.
RSGB: 17 (+1)     EFEC: 14     JSF: 8 (-1)

TURN 8: Russia successfully drove off the JSF raiders at Grissom, retaining their air support in the northern U.S. and also defended Ft. Campbell, receiving Shenandoah Valley in return. The Europeans reestablished a foothold in America at Okefenokee while defending (once again) the Russian attack on Matera to receive Thessaly (which the Spetsnaz will no doubt retake again today). The remaining engagements are being fought in the United States, with the JSF attempting to retake Shenandoah from SPZ while raiding Ft. Campbell army base. The EFEC have launched a risky three-pronged attack out of Okefenokee targeting the JSF in Pamlico and Maxwell and the SGB at JFK Space Centre. A loss in any three of these encounters will nulllify victories in the remaining two and push them back off the continent.
RSGB: 16     EFEC: 14 (+2)     JSF: 9 (-2)

TURN 7: In the closest call yet, the JSF defended Maxwell Air base by a single point (1430 to the EF's 1429). They also successfully defended Pamlico and received Okefenokee in return. The Spetsnaz were finally able to retain control of Grissom Air base and received Ft. Campbell for their efforts. They also took back Thessaly again. Today, the JSF are raiding Grissom to disable the Russian's air support while trying to take back Ft. Campbell and defending Okefenokee from a European attack. Russia and Europe are again fighting in Matera. As the Americans pushed the Euros out of America, the Russians received JFK Space Centre back by default due to its isolation.
RSGB: 16 (+3)     EFEC: 12 (-3)     JSF: 11

TURN 6: While the Euros were successful in their raids on Maxwell Air base and Ft. Campbell Army base; they encountered stiff resistance from the JSF in Shenandoah and Chattanooga and were pushed back to Okefenokee, forfeiting Pamlico back to the Americans. The never-ending tug of war over Matera/Thessaly continued, with Europe defending Matera yet again to set the stage for Russia's retaking of Thessaly today. Another case of history repeating was the Spetsnaz repelling the JSF from Rondane to take control of Grissom, which is under contention again today. In the southern U.S., the EF is attempting to take Pamlico back and secure Maxwell air base to aid their campaign in the region. No overall change in territory count.
EFEC: 15     RSGB: 13     JSF: 11

TURN 5: Europe and JSF together pushed the Russians out of America, winning in JFK and Grissom respectively. Europe also took Pamlico from the Americans, but lost at Maxwell Air Base. The Russians once again retook Thessaly from the EF. Today, the expanded European campaign in America is underway with multiple raids at Maxwell and Fort Campbell ongoing while they attempt to take Shenandoah and Chattanooga. The Spetsnaz are trying yet again to take Matera from the Euros while they defend Rondane from the JSF out of Grissom.
EFEC: 15 (+1)     RSGB: 13 (-1)     JSF: 11

TURN 4: Russia was unsuccessful yet again in Matera, forfeiting Thessaly for the second time to the Euros. Fortunately, they repelled the JSF from Rondane and took control of Grissom again. They were unsuccessful in Pascagoula, though JSF were not given the attacking territory of Carpathia. The Europeans seized Okefenokee from the JSF and are using it as a staging area in the region attempting to take Maxwell Air Base and Pamlico from the Americans and JFK from the Russians. The Russians must defend Grissom again and try to retake Thessaly.
RSGB: 14     EFEC: 14 (+2)     JSF: 11 (-2)

TURN 3: Surprisingly, the JSF were successful in retaking Grissom Air Base from the Russians. However, they lost JFK to the bear. The Russians also had success on their homeland, retaking Thessaly from the European invaders. Europe also retook home ground from the Americans at Arrabida, meanwhile the JSF have landed in Northern Europe at Copenhagen. Continuing their offensive, the JSF are seeking a foothold in northern Russia as well, at Rondane; while defending attacks from both opposing forces in the southern U.S. at Pascagoula (vs Rus) and Okefenokee (vs. Euro). The Spetsnaz are once again attempting an incursion into southern Europe at Matera.
RSGB: 14 (+1)     JSF: 13     EFEC: 12 (-1)

TURN 2: The Europeans were unsuccessful in landing at the U.S.S. Reagan Seabase, however, the JSF did not receive the attacking territory of Glen Albyn. The JSF defense of Okefenokee awarded them Arrabida in western Europe. Meanwhile the Euros were successful in their defense of Matera and received Thessaly in return. The Spetsnaz successfully defended Rondane from the Americans and received the defensive spoils of Grissom Air Force base, which is now under JSF attack. The JSF is also attacking Europe at Copenhagen and defending Arrabida from the EF, while the Russians attempt to retake Thessaly and land in America at the JFK Space Centre. No change in overall territory count.
EFEC: 13     RSGB: 13     JSF: 13

Regarding the FirstWar


The FirstWar is over and EFEC has been declared the victor...


QuidProKuo, the EndWar community manager wrote -

After careful consideration the EndWar dev team has decided to bring the First War on the Xbox 360 to a conclusion. We’ll be doing this by changing the victory conditions from 30 territories and three capitals to 30 territories and only two capitals. This will make the European Federation Enforcer Corps the official winner of the First War. Congratulations guys!

We’re doing this so that we can get as many people as possible back into playing EndWar over the upcoming weekend when we start up the second war. We know there has been some frustration with people replaying the same territories over and over again and this is the best way to get EndWar players facing each other on new territories.

We hope the Spetsnaz Guard Brigade players understand why we went with this decision and want to assure all EndWar gamers that during the entire First War we were completely hands-off with the TOW system. Everything that has happened in the TOW up till now has been fully automated by the TOW system.

The end of the First War will be followed by a 24 hour EndPhase. This will give everyone a chance to check out how the war unfolded using the Theater of War viewer at www.endwargame.com/tow. The second war will be starting shortly after the EndPhase. All battalion experience levels, ranks, and upgrades will be kept. If you have any questions, feel free to post them on the forums.

Most importantly, the dev team would like to let each of you know that all your feedback has been invaluable. EndWar has been incredibly fortunate to have such a dedicated, passionate, and intelligent group of gamers. Keep it up and keep on gaming!

An update on my status - as of 2008-11-19, I`ve unlocked the Total War achievement - 100 2 v 2 TOW matches (I also happened to unlock Command & Control during TOW as well - not even realizing it as I went). Army of One was three days earlier. Current leaderboard rank is 81, with 82 wins 9 losses and battalion statistics indicate 139 wins, 25 losses, 1107 hostiles defeated, 62 casualties. Current rank Lt. General (10).

By the end of the FirstWar, using "Bravery and Discipline", the European Assault Battlegroup 28 and sacrificing 152 brave souls, I defeated 2395 hostiles, fought 366 battles and won 304. The actual leaderboard listed 167 wins and 25 losses (persistent rank 45). I would like to commend everyone I fought with and against - good game all around.

    Xenocidic, thanks for posting this.

    I'm one of those Noob gamers who might start TOW after new year.

    Why do you think the JSF was so dominated? Do you think this is due to the abilities of the JSF generals, or is it more inherent limitations of the JSF force? I guess my question is it better to be master of something, then jack of all trades in this game?
