In 2047, the ECA being heavily overwhelmed and the front lines are currently in France, along the historical Maginot Line, which has been up-armored (reinforced with the latest armor technology combined with the repair bots similar to the ones the Manticore uses) and up-gunned (300mm Anti-Ground cannons and SAM sites supported with 150mm Howitzers).

2050, the ECA is still holding their ground, managing to retake small parts of West Germany, all thanks to a limited number of Valkyrie Powerarmor operators. China has declared it's neutrality despite frequent urges by the ECA to join the war, the USA, however, declares war on Russia, and sends much needed manpower and supplies.

Philippines, being a close ally to the USA despite colonizing it a hundred years ago, expected a Russian Invasion, and has started to develop it's own weapons and equipment to discard the outdated M1A1 Abrams, the M16A1 Assualt Rifle, and the M60 HMG.

Mid-2050, The Philippines, ordering repair bots and the armor technology used in the Maginot Line, erect a wall, around the NCR - National Capital Region - to, hopefully, hold Russian troops there until possible reinforcements from the US arrives. Additionally, they have developed a Light Tank and an MBT, both called Mabini Light Tank and the Bonifacio Heavy Tank respectively, named after Filipino heroes.

The Mabini Light Tank uses a 90mm M47 AT/HE Cannon high-velocity cannon, somewhat inspired by the iconic and legendary 88mm Flak-18/36 AAA, complemented by an TOW AT missile launcher mounted on the turret, offset to the left, a coaxial machinegun called the M46/15 HMG (46 means the time of it's adoption into the military and 15 means the caliber of the gun; 15.6mm) which can fire HE or AP rounds, A cupola on top of the main turret is heavily protected (the cupola is basically turret-ish, and there's no way one may be able to see their surroundings, however, aiming can be possible through an optical sight mounted above the gun), uses either a .50 cal HMG, a .55 cal AT HMG, or a 40mm Auto-grenade launcher. The Mabini Light Tank is designed to exploit weak enemy spots and attack those.

The Bonifacio Heavy Tank uses an improved and up-gunned version of the M47 AT/HE Cannon, the 105mm M49 AT/HE Cannon, a coaxial M46/15 HMG, a second coaxial M49/20 ATMG, a cupola turret similar to that of the Mabini uses, which can also mount .50, .55, or 40mm caliber weapons. The Bonifacio Heavy Tank is designed to support an Infantry Advance and penetrating defense lines.

New weapons has been made, too, the reliable M52 PASIR (Philippine Army, Standard Issue Rifle), the fast firing M48 SOAC (Special Operations Assault-Carbine) and the very accurate M49 "Destroyer" STWC (Sniper's Trusted Weapon of the Century )

Early-2054, as Philippines expected, Russia has invaded. As expected as well, the Russian troops landed at North Luzon, and only small tanks were permitted to enter mainland, as the terrain hampered the movements of heavier tanks, like the Sentinel and the Golem. However, despite only MBTs and APCs are the only vehicles allowed to move to the mainland, The Philippine Army is still losing ground. Finally, the Russian forces reached the NCR Wall, seemingly impregnable. Unable to use heavy tanks, they resorted to use air assets to assail the the capital, Manila, and artillery to pound the wall, to no effect, however. Despite multiple bombing runs and frequent airborne assaults, the bomber planes/transport planes are cut to pieces with PA's new AA: The M54 SAM-AAA, a combination of Anti-Aircraft Artillery with a caliber of 100mm and 150mm SAM Missiles, those who managed to drop their payloads are intercepted with PA's modified PDL batteries and the paratroopers and BMD's are quickly destoyed by ground forces.

However, tragedy strikes. A special EMP weapon developed by Russia had been used on the wall, preventing the repair bots from repairing the wall, and artillery and air bomber has pounded the wall, finally destroying it. A successful counter attack has been commenced by a commander named Matthew Gordon, who used the Mabini's and Bonifacio's to great effect, pushing them to the shoreline.

A new and redesigned Golem Tank has been developed by using latest armor technology, which results in a lighter, but stronger armor, while retaining it's iconic 150mm gun, allowing the Golem to traverse the rough terrain of Luzon. The Filipinos has been pushed back all the way to South Luzon, the Government are forced to evacuate to the US. Once again, the Filipinos are holed up in Bataan as what their ancestors did in WW2. The fighting still happens up to today, with the valiant Philippine Army holding it's ground, expecting US to initiate a counter-attack.
