After 25 hard fought days and nights the ALLIES ARE VICTORIOUS in Campaign 181.  Axis forces fought to the end to defend every inch of the homeland.  Congrats Allies!   We are planning a longer than normal intermission to allow us to finish testing the next game patch.  Finally, both CinC's issue more awards and medals - See if your on the list...

Allies are Victorious in Campaign 181

Allied forces met victory conditions earlier today and Campaign 181 is an Allied win!  The campaign lasted 25 days and we were about 1/2 way into Tier 3 equipment.  It seems the arrival of the Americans only accelerated the Allied advance. The Axis fought until the last bullet was gone!

Last week XOOM announced the details of our next game patch which will be in final testing starting any minute.  With that release only days away we have decided to extend intermission until we are ready to deploy the new patch and new content.  The specifics of the patch 1.36.9 can be found here. 

Right now we are hoping for a start in the first half of next week.  Intermission is underway with unlimited supply for now.  We may mix things up over the next few days to jazz up intermission play.  In addition, we will be announcing a couple short team building events to take place on the weekend.  More information will be forthcoming on Friday night's development news release.

Axis CinC Report
6 April 2021

The tenacity with which our officers, soldiers, sailors, and pilots fight is beyond measure. Only when grossly outnumbered do we lose ground. Give us even close to an even fight and that is a fight the Allies LOSE!
For the past 2 weeks, the Allies have found we cannot be rolled over and dismissed. They now see we cannot be counted down and out. They figured it would be a fight...we have given them HELL ON EARTH!
There is put one mission for the Axis fighter now. And that is best summed up as this:
From Hell's heart, I stab at thee
For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee
We will fight for every square meter as though it were all of Germany
Recognizing the valor, skill, and accomplishments of the Axis players and officers is the most important and satisfying part of being Commander in Chief.

It is with great pride that I announce the following awards to very worthy individuals who make the Axis the power that we are.

Report from the Allied Commander in Chief Rabbit

S! Allies,
I write to you all hopefully in the waning hours of Campaign 181 on 4/6/2021 as we push further into German territory. The last couple of days has seen a huge surge but for the most part of the last two weeks we have struggled to make sustain pushes. I ask that as we try to close this campaign out to practice good fundamentals: communicate, mark, and work together. The adage of practice makes perfect is kind of bogus, if you are sloppy in your practice then you reinforce bad habits. It should be perfect practice makes perfect. If we had kept the same fervor and smart play, we saw in the first two weeks we would have reached this line in Germany a week ago.
Now on to the good parts, the last few days has seen a huge turn around. The Axis made a big push over the weekend and you all stood your ground proudly. You shut down their attempts to gain momentum and turned the tables. Time and time again you have shown a resiliency that can few groups have ever shown. Keep that fire burning as the war is not over yet.
S! Rabbit
