Community Report February 23, 2021
S! all this is Blkhwk8 Assistant Community Manger. The last two weeks has seen the front pushed back and forth with some great attrition battles with great strategic counter attacks to push the front. Each side has dug in for a long campaign. RDP has been a difference maker and continues to aide the attrition on the front lines.
CRS would also like to remind people of the proper use of .bug (used to report issues in game such as Terrain issues, Vehicle not working as intended etc) .report (used to report to a Game Manager to “review” suspect activity or harassment. This activity can include suspected cheating or clipping issues.) The reason for this is the .bug reports are reviewed by our QA team to be fixed and the .reports got to our Game Managers directly. These are two different teams and especially in the .bug case vital information is used to help resolve the bug.
From the Desk of the Allied Commander in Chief "Colt":
This campaign has reached its three-week point; it may seem longer than that with the accelerated tier cycles. These have been three very hard-fought weeks with wins and losses. We have seen the front line move both directions multiple times in that time span. Through all of that you all have fought hard. When we were starting to get pushed West, no one panicked, you kept your heads high, dug in and pushed back. After some truly major battles, we are starting to build a bulge in the middle of the map. We are starting to grind away and pick up more and more land. Both sides know this is going to be a slog and only those mentally tough enough to see it through will win this campaign. My money is on you, the Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen of the Allied Forces.The last couple of weeks have seen some truly remarkable action on the land and in the air. The Air Forces of the Allied countries have been locked in a battle to destroy each other’s industrial complexes with each side gaining advantages only briefly. On the ground there has been a heavy toll in lives lost in places like St. Truiden and Schilde. We have had many moments of valor, in Philipville we had seven soldiers receive medals for their efforts; in St. Truiden we awarded six decorations; and a massive air operation seeing 17 medals awarded. The last week has seen a steady stream of successes as we have been able to stay on the offensive. A few days ago, with no supply in Lier and the Axis crashing down, we successfully pulled of a rare fallback, saved the town, and booted their AO.

From the Desk of KardeHK
Commander in Chief of Axis Forces
For the past two weeks, the Allies have executed a counter-offensive to stop our westward expansion. While we did suffer a few setbacks, notably losing Antwerp, we have held strong!
72 hours ago, we launched our second major offensive and have had amazing results! Forces led by Copone and Slayer overran resistance in several towns, claiming those towns for the Wehrmacht! Re-capturing Diest, Zandvliet, Aarschott, and Lier has us back on the doorstep of Antwerp; it is only a matter of days before we once again control that important city.
The RDP war rages in the skies above. Luftmarshall Gazoo has organized large bomber raids that crippled Allied supply for days. Luftwaffe interceptors are downing Allied bombers regularly. The skies are deadly…for the Allies.
Kriegsmarine strikes led by Delems on the Whitstable factories have kept the British weakened. Naval forces have once again proven integral to defending river towns.
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.
