Good speech. But it seems to me that General Willem has just exposed his battleplans to the Russians. Then again, they will be mobilising in less than an hour.

But in this picture he looks more white than dark skinned, or was he never dark skinned to begin with?

This image has texture added to it. And you can see the light source is coming from behind. Hope that explains.

Maybe it's a gambit to make Aleksandr believe that the ECA will literally advance along the -entire- frontline, thus making it harder for him to figure out what to defend and what to give up. Like a wise man once said: He who tries to defend everything will end up defending nothing.

Svea Rike, looks like the devs paid a tribute to your fanfic of the Battle of Skåne/Scania. SWR rocks!

Interesting point actually. For some reason, I operated under the assumption that the unit would maintain that name, since it'd be kind of odd to rename a whole military unit every time the monarch has a different gender.

Well, two problems with this:

1. The Queen's Guard is called the King's Guard when there is a king. (And they are an active military unit)
2. How often is there a monarch change really? Queen Elizabeth has been reining for more than 60 years now. Her predecessor reined for 20 years.

They aren't lancers at all so why do we care whose lancers they aren't?

Well I would say, one would assume they simply got rid of constantly changing their name between "Queen's Lancers" and "King's Lancers" because honestly that is very silly. IMHO, I would simply call them the British Lancers, problem solved.

Why not just Royal Lancers ? .___.
I thought that'd be the closest to it, and still serve for both genders. "British Lancers" sounds kinda.....

Doing some research, I found out that they will indeed be referred to as the Royal Lancers as part of the Army 2020 reforms. Suppose I could edit that in the texts, but I don't feel like re-doing the image right now. Consider it a little error with no in-lore implications whatsoever.

Finally, the counter-offensive towards the east.

It seems that Serbian mercenaries are the "Brown Berets" of the Legion of Solidarity - (judging by the color of their berets). Wonderful update. mindfuck.gif

Haha i love the Anti-Russian story line! Brilliant it is, in reality NATO expansion and containment of/to the Russian borders will eventually and naturally trigger the Ruskies cutting most of Europe's gas supplies off via Ukraine. Naturally this will result in Russia selling its gas to the far east (China) instead. The BRICs nations will be contained. The PNAC (Project for the new American Century) will commence.

I don't think you know the entire story... NATO is dead, the ECA hates America, Russia sold gas to Europe but they cut them off so now they have little to no other options than to eliminate the European adversaries but that got turned on its head when the ECA nuked themselves and the US got back into action.

So I guess we are getting closer to the Battle of Berlin, will Aleksandr release his crazy Super Secret Russian thing there? So lore-wise is Greece & Serbia on the side of Russia?


I'd also think logically that Serbia would side with Russia.

The "Balkan Confederation" was formed in the official story too. Not only Serbia and Greece are on the side of Russia, so are Bulgaria and Romania as they are also members.
Altough i'd personaly like if instead of country flags they'd used the flag of BC.

Somehow, I can't shake the feeling that the Confederation will get the short end of the stick once this war's over...

How involved is the United States in the war? Are they taking any action against Russia in the Pacific? (You know, sink the Russian Pacific Fleet, possibly occupy or at least disable Vladivostok's port facilities?)

Also, has any of the US's allies joined the war?

IIRC, the US pacific fleet is already on the move, and so does Chinese one. But no engagement so far.

Canada, Australia I think, and maybe Mexico because the rest of the NAU is already in the war.
