We Were Isolated, So we Made our own Nation - "The Free State of the Fingers" | Foxhole
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 мар 2024
- The devs decided to leave a region called the Fingers isolated and cut off. So we made our own Free State of the Fingers, and held our own. There were a lot of fun shenanigans on these Islands :D
Gotta love some good LARP and coordination :D

Game is Foxhole, War 110, Able Shard
Imagine being completely cut off from the majority of the continent and still managing to manufacture and launch and ICBM.
We smuggled in the rocket shout out to NEP for making it
I don’t know if it’s more or less impressive but we actually didn’t make it ourselves, we negotiated an arms deal with our better supplied allies on the mainland and had to smuggle all 3 pieces of the first nuke through enemy lines in reavers in order to get it into fingers before we lost our chance. It was a close run thing.
@@K_D_S88that feels like even more of an achievement to me, honestly. Was it while Reavers was still being contested or was it during a period when the Collies had it mostly clear? I just assumed because of all the comps and oil out there that you guys built it yourselves lol!
@@redjive_industries3760 we planned an op to take back the southern half of reavers for a short time so that we could smuggle in all three nuke parts on flatbeds, then once we arrived at Breakwater, we loaded them onto a freighter for the last leg of the journey. Only about a half hour after we got the nuke in, we lost the ground again that we took to secure the route. So it was quite the clandestine operation to sneak it in when we did lol.
Also we were thinking of making the nuke by ourselves but we were spending all of our rare mats making as many ships as we could, since we only had a few scrap fields to gather them from they were pretty scarce.
Way cooler. Definitely way cooler. Wish I had some footage to dump in here.
Maybe next time the Fingers rises again, and I'm not a Warden (I'll go back to green after this war for sure)

The fact that players let members of the other team come over as press is so incredible. Great community.
Cross-team voicechat is amazing, it's sad that if a community gets too toxic most games can (justifiably) remove it. I'm glad that I don't ever see foxhole getting to that point.
Usually if an enemy soldier walks up to you here and says they're friendly, they are :D
......usually. I've had a grenade thrown at me by a surrendering enemy soldier once hahaha
@@BlueLaminate"justifiably"
No.
*No.*
@@BlueLaminate Yeah, but who hasn't violated the Geneva Conventions with some casual perfidy? Lol.
@@BlueLaminate
I mean, I've been captured by the blueberries a couple of times before and most of the times they even follow the Geneva Guidelines for treatment of POWs....for the most part, anyways. So I for one try to be as cooperative and uncomplicated for the duration of my capture in return. Given the fact I am a medic/logi main, I tend to be force conscripted into their ranks a surprising percentage of the times, albeit simply for healing purposes.....and sometimes meatshielding, too XDD
But I miss the FNF. I made quite a few suicidal logi runs to you there. If you ever resurrect this great sovereign nation again, let me know so I can apply for proper citizenship XDD
plot twist.... they got executed right after for espionage xD
Based Free Republic of Fingers, absolute beast of a public logi fortress. The moment falchions got unlocked, the Finger's garage and parking lot was swamped full of tanks.
I FORGOT TO SHOW THE 130 SPATHAS IN ONE OF THE BLUEFINS
Your free republic of fingers cost the Collies the entire war lmao
@@johndoe5432 Do you just enjoy being a joyless dick in every comment?
@@johndoe5432hardly lmao
As someone who doesnt own the game, i dont understand shit but its fun
Well I try to make it a little understandable to non-foxhole players, but there are just some things that need context that I don't have the time to explain :(
I'm glad you're having fun though :D
same here!
a few things to add to The Fingers arc :
-each island had dedicated builders.
-Tusk island was a trap island.(claimed more than 1K souls).
-The buoy boyz include the players gathering intel with LK.
-ALL 23 wardens BS was spotted at least 1h before fight.
- Fingers had at one time 438 crates of rmats in public (way more with the mats in the raf/garage/factory).
-The "Jeff Bezos", the CGC bluefin have travel from Oarbreaker to Fingers, encountered 2 times some partisans who haven't call the bluefin passing,had a 5 min window to pass the bridges in reavers pass before warden took it again.
-The RSC exclusion zone in reavers pass is the most insane trench/mines spam i have ever seen in 6 years of playing.
-Most of the DCD BS still fired on Tusk when not even 5 players was connected on it.(and fataly draw the QRF to them)
-The first nuke + the RSC was supplied by NEP players,have been smuggled during fight in breakwater.
-The lag machine + the Surveillance Bouy are the masterpieces of all the psy-ops i've saw in the game.(confusing both wardens and collonials)
-the Headsmann SC's fired more than 6K shells.
-KanneuZ from 82Dk is part of The Fingers lore because he made some crazy move for the nuke.
-at one point we had more than 60+ argonaut everywhere on the map for QRF, or logi to reavers.
-Everyting was public except 120mm/150mm for heavy ships.
-Plana Fada was important,if it had fall at the first landing from 82dk,Fingers would have fall.
-fingers navy had 3 amirals.
-The freighter wall was 150+ ships, the inside was called "The pound".
-Fingers was planning and working on nuking Port of Rime from Tempest.(war ended before that goal).
Woah if I was around for the entire Fingers arc, this video would've been an hour long :o
Thanks for the Lore, it's really appreciated. This whole comments section is full of lore that I missed, so much happened over there it's amazing :o
@@BlueLaminatetbh fingers lore in 110 is to me has important has war 19.
war 19 : ugh comeback from collies + jade cove missile crisis ( The only true civil war in foxhole).
war 110 : ugh comeback from wardens + Fingers missile crisis (independant state from the main colonial lands).
much more have happened, and it's crazy to think that not a lot of players was involved (Fingers was always low on pop).
I would love a documentary like the one for war 19 ; war 110 had 100% the stuff to do a thing like that !
Thanks you for playing with us in Fingers and thank's for the video !
You forgot the most important detail of the fingers... we on the Warden side eventually realized you guys could just be easily bypassed. So you got to sit in your tree fort while the rest of your faction burned hahaha.
@@johndoe5432 Not really. More like the other side of the map decided to give up and because of that the whole faction lost, that's not really something fingers can even be blamed for. The material loss for wardens to fight fingers is immense with little to no actual inflicted damage to fingers itself.
Headsman DoD forever
The vets on the colonials has girlfriends while the wardens have jobs
That's why we have warden weekends
That's why we have warden weekends also you guys are the German army you have the panzer Faust and the German rocket launcher and the broom handle grenade so don't call us the Germans we only have the mp40
Oh, so that's why I'm single as hell
I just need to become a Colonial Vet, then I'll finally have a girlfriend :D
Edit: And quit my job too
Why is your pfp a black cross?
@@1nsaniel it looks very similar to the modern German Army insignia
The most fun part about the war was probably all of the huge naval engagements, for most of the war we were cut off and could only afford 1 battleship and multiple destroyers to go up against the entire might of all of the warden’s naval production in the east, so we had to trade insanely well. While we did lose many destroyers I’m proud to say that our final score on warden battleships killed vs fingers battleships lost was 23-0
I wish I was around for more of those. Usually I just miss it, curse the timezone HAHAHAHA
I saw the screenshots of the map, Just blue and green triangles and squares all over the ocean :o
And don't forget you screw up our east naval front
The buoy gaslighting really got me when I first heard of it, but it came right on the tail end of the jokes about the lag machine and I realized it had to have been the same sort of psy-op. It was a really good bit tho, and really clever use of game mechanics!
Really clever use of alts?
I love how while the new frontline is being established you keep getting more information from fellow soldiers about the state of the enemy navy
Yep, everyone knows some you don't, I love using the mic in this game :)
And a bunch of them went behind enemy lines to set up listening kits to see enemy intelligence in specific spots, which I usually forgot to check :D
The Fingers never fell and thus the war was won
Our victory conditions were too great for mere mortals to fully grasp
Great video Blue, to add to the lore! The Black Flag pirate coalition (merged with Pirates of Lipsia) was formed in war 110 and setup all the GB QRF docks, maintained and supplied them throughout the war while fighting off the constant Warden GBs hoardes as they attacked Tusk Daily! We had well over 100 GB kills by the end of the war. 110 was fun and shows how the game was meant to be played, everyone coming together, with everything public and shared all for the Free State of Fingers!
With all the lore drops, if I wasn't a filthy casual I could've had so many Fingers videos in the pipeline hahahaha
Would've loved to cover more naval shenanigans and the nuclear smuggling missions hahaha
That moment when everyone was just chilling around the fire listening to music waiting for nuke, then buoys starting shouting sub in the water and everyone sprung into action and dealt with the sub just in time for nuke countdown was insanely fun. o7 Fingers you held the line!
Also fucking impressive battleship K/D of 23-0
I love larping in foxhole.
Ah yes, i remember Fingers
I also remember how i've taken a freighter moving crates of supplies to that very same seaport that was being attacked from the south without said supplies it wouldn't have been able to resist.
o7 logi folks bringing in freighters kept that place from falling early on
i was the warden that was not on the hill lol great stuff i really like how everyone come together and it was not just a clan
Yep, it was great to see :D Sadly I had to cut out the part where I was asking someone about it, and they told me that it was mostly smaller clans, and one larger clan that wasn't even there in full force :)
This kind of stuff is what makes me jealous of the Collies - I never seem to see this stuff on the warden side. Also, I absolutely adore the collie battleship design
Well, I hope you're wrong, because I went warden this war HAHAHAHA
(I'll be back in green after this one, I just don't have as much foxhole time right now)
There was the free state of Silver, twice during war 110
It happens on a different scale sometimes! I don’t think the game has ever had the conditions for something exactly like the Free State before, though, where there’s all the resources they could ever want and nowhere else for them to feasibly go.
Usually it’s a right-place right-time thing, but due to the circumstances of the Fingers in WC110 the right place and the right time turned out to be the entire war :V
Still a special achievement no matter how it happened or how it turned out, I hope it stays in the memory of the game like other historical events such as the Jade Cove missile crisis or the Siege of the Baths in WC106
@@redjive_industries3760 I hope so too. I remember before the war started, we all expected the fingers to fall asap and conclave to hold Oarbreaker forever.
Oh boy were we wrong hahaha
Cool hat in time pfp
honestly as a warden purist thats done a good 10 or so wars with nearly a thousand hours i support you. nice to see some resistance like this.
does help that i've only played one day from between several wars ago and this war
Excellent video Blue! The Fingers was my favorite thing in all of War 110. Thanks for highlighting how much fun we had there!
The story of Fingers and earlier the story of the Pile make me believe Colonials thrive in isolation/when they are besieged.
Being trapped does make people a little kooky, I guess hahaha
@@BlueLaminate That too. :D
11:35 fun fact, i was on the sub that killed this exact RSC, little skill issue from your side but past then noone would think that sub can kill rsc with 40mm, btw good video, brings back nostalgia. One of the best wars i had
Walker? I remember you (at least, I hope it was you). in my first war (102) I was a warden, forgot what we were but we only had the middle region in a hex and everyone basically was ready for a last stand with no supplies.
Then you broke the blockade somehow and everyone cheered because we finally had shirts and bullets hahaha
@@BlueLaminate ho ly fuck, i dont remember war 102 so much but its fucking awesome that *if it was me* you remember this, i think that most of foxhole players remember their first battles/wars, hope to see you as a warden tomorow in the trench o7 soldier
@@BlueLaminate wait, was it ,,the breach" in heartlands? I was driving the dunne leatherback to the encircled hearthlands
I was on the Warden side and it seemed every night a nuke was being launched that war
From corporal to Captain of a battleship what a promotion.
Buoy 40 represent
3 weeks late but good video, facing the free state was quite hard because server issues but ESPECIALLY because collies were very well organized, it is pretty amazing to see the collaboration and public effort of the collie community
The fight would've been incredible if the server issues weren't a problem :(
The teamwork there was truly incredible and surprising, since we all assumed that the Fingers would fall early on, while conclave would stand forever
Cross faction VOIP is still as beautiful as the day we lost it.
I joined foxhole after it got removed.
I never knew what you guys lost.
Them putting it back in was.... amazing. o7 good job foxhole community for keeping it *mostly* toxic-free :)
holy crap that at 7:00 that was me that solo de crewed that sub! i didnt expect footage of that at all in this video! sick
never before seeing this have I bore witness to such supreme and total destruction as an Orbital Strike in Planetside 2 with peak pop.
The outer heaven incident colorized: but snake never showed up.
FRF's navy is enlightening,I've heard they got a score of 0:18 against warden gunboats.
Fingers hold to an Ironfist!
Need a third independent faction to be added that just controls the fingers and tries to survive each war
12:11 It was the second sub it had a mission to kill nuke, the first destroyed the RSC near the water.o7

Cześć macu
a true testament to collie grit and skill, I hope to one day fight for the free state again with you boys
they were cut off, surrounded, destined to be destroyed, yet they nuked the wardens 3 times and survived the entire war… based fingers
Hahah, that was great! Love these moments captured. Man, wish it didn't take such a huge amount of time to play these kinds of games or I'd dip in every now and then.
Well, I used to just dip in and out of foxhole; "I'll just do one logi run" or "just going to medic for a bit" so it's not entirely impossible. but admittedly I did miss the long battles like the ones I cover in this channel nowadays, most of which are battles that last a few hours on a weekend.
Glad I could sort of help you "experience" them in a much shorter format hahaha
This is ( in my opinion) foxhiles equivalent to the seige of vraks with how strong they held out and the numbers coming to take them out
I think i remeber playing this war so much fun
I was fighting in umbral shoulder-to-shoulder with 27th this war, but they rotated to the fingers and left ruins behind them :(
Since I started at foxhole The Fingers Hex has always been abandoned by players.
I built it at WC 100 at Headsman Villa when I was at UBGE, and it was one of the best fights/resistance I participated in.
With the changes to the game, the map, etc. I believe that the gameplay there just has to get better.
COLONIAL forever.
Can't wait to see if this happens again next war, since they're letting naval hexes travel to each other (with some alleged bug fixes regarding server stability), it's going to be wild :D
that was a very entertaining vid, thanks to everyone on the Fingers Army
great editing bro keep it up!
Omg I was the guy in the beginning that got entombed!
I have to ask
Did you get out alive? I never got closure on that hahaha
I keep hearing about the toxicity on the collie side leading to y'all's player base quitting, but y'all seemed to be having a ton of fun with your larp and didn’t seem toxic at all.
LARPing is fun is all I'm gonna say.
Can't say too much on the pop issue because I went warden for war 111 😅 (I'll be back for 112)
dev love the open top sub meme
Fingers came together to make a powerful fist. The free state of Fingers will never be forgotten. o7
I have a feeling that It'll be back with a vengeance next update, since the oceans are now going to be connected :D
They had a larger navy than japan in ww2 💀
Next up: making an independent state in the snowy north

I'm in this video! And my microphone is on garbage can quality.
i nearly miss this incredible story ...
Just because I would like to say it, the fingers got supplied those nukes by regis up north fyi
I never found out where the 1st and 3rd nukes got supplied from, but yeah I think there was a map marker on the 2nd target site called "VELI + 1CMD"
@@BlueLaminate I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say but I'll give you a small clue, it was multiple Regis who spent most of their time defending tine
First was from NEP? IIRC same with the RSC/SPG. Second rocket was from VELI more specifically UBGE from what I know. @@BlueLaminate

I hope that they didn't quit foxhole after that 😅

I love the collies and I will always be one
the title of this video describes the 'founder's effect' in biology
Well, LARP does breed LARP I guess hahahaha
you guys had that giant ass fleet and we had a few motor boats for out navy on that side
I know you probably don't know about this, but when we crossed the border, our game crashed and we couldn't connect thanks to the fact that our D-DAY field was destroyed
Was this when you guys blew up Fort Barley or when you guys showed up to try and take out the first nuke? Either way, that's unfortunate :( Connection issues last war were.... something :(
funnily enough this only happened a couple times, and most of the invasions that were stopped by servers were already tracked from Morgans too there so there was no way they'd have worked anyways (most had a BS waiting for them when they arrived)
a lot of the reports of server issues in the fingers got blown out of proportion by the clans who fought there bc they needed a scapegoat for why they were loosing, it was interesting to watch the stories of the dcs get more dramatic in real time. (we see this pretty often, the origin "queue bug" of 1.0 or 100 (I forget which one) is another example of this, basically a few isolated incidents get blamed for a lost hex)
god, remember the Ashtown super tank shitshow?
The Wardens POV 9:17 🤣
I really need to get back into foxhole, was such a great time but must expand my factory
Thought it was fox hole then that im stoopid and its real life then shared on discord and saw in the description its fox hole
Proud to build up Headsman's Villa, I became the broken finger when the nuke hit my home
P.S. The RSC I left it there cause I had no space and the cost for me to maintain the whole Island was 72k Msups a day for myself it was a nightmare when I become the sol maintainer.
11:38
BEcooz it waes RRRight next to the WAtERRR
Wait, the fingers were cut off from the start and they held strong instead of being squished like a pimple?
gotta get back to foxhole, this is impressive as fuck
Man I wish I hadn’t gotten bogged down during 110, that would have been so much fun for me
What in the fuck were the wardens doing "on the other end of the rocket".
They made a freight container city?
From what I heard, they either
a) Thought that maybe the crates could block the nuke or
b) Thought that the nuke would have a limit to the number of items it could kill
But I'm sure that they knew that neither would be the case and did it for the memes. It was funny to see :D
I can't believe that the Colonials were so coldhearted as to nuke Warden affordable housing units.
@@sovereigntyofvoyagers7380 Those affordable housing units had building code violations and you know it! That crane on the top of one of those skyscrapers was an obvious OSHA violation too D:< HAHAHAHA
my boys took your beachhead you guys were not inpenetrable
If you're talking about war 110, yeah we lost that beachhead for a while towards the end :(
If you're talking about War 111.... I was there when we took it. I was a blueberry. I was one of "your boys". It was fun :D (I'm going back to the collies next war though)

Well, the people that made foxhole do have a medieval version of foxhole in the works so.... hahaha
after the third attempt to invade the fingers and the servers crashing we just evaced for the nuke and worked around the hole it made. Surprising you managed to nuke a mpf town twice and still lost.

I thought there were only 2 factions in this game? Can you make your own or how does it work
Oh there are only 2 factions in the game, the people over at the fingers just wanted to roleplay that they were independent because we started the war completely cut off :D
Logistics people still ran supplies from the mainland when they could, whether it was ammo or missile parts :D
😂 back to the lobby
I gotta get upppp
And so, poland was born
Normally new players find it hard to find action, and the new player started off with that. Hahahaha
Yep, nowadays I point every new guy I see in home region to foxholestats so that they can find a fight immediately hahahah
How did they stack containers that high?? I didn't even think this game HAD a height limit that high lmao
I... I don't know. Normally you'd only stack containers 2-3 high.
know that there's a method to go even higher, I've never seen it in person and it's probably not at all practical (though I guess they used a crane to bring up another crane here hahaha).
Never seen it this high though
Game looks huge how many average players in one server!
Officially, up to 120 vs 120 per hexagon on the map, a few people reported seeing more.
For the whole map, I've seen anywhere between 1000-4000 online during a normal war, but when there's a new update, this can hit 7000+
since war 110 is over you didn't need to blur the chat
I think I've said it before, 2 reasons why I blur the chat:
1. Intel (Not a problem here since the war is over, hence the unblurred maps)
2. World chat is both funny and concerning - I'm not taking any risks with RUclips's demonetization policies, and I don't have the time to read through them all , editing takes long enough as it is :(
(ex. I would've had to go through 6 hours of footage at regular speed to catch sketchy messages, I don't have that kind of time sadly)
feet pics when ?. better keep the degeneracy blurred more then the intel lol theo mara provides(feet pics)~slithers away~@@BlueLaminate
Lets be honest is only 2@@BlueLaminate
Yeah it's mostly #2. I don't think #1 could be an issue given that most of what I post is at earliest 1 week after the fact, but I'd rather not take any risks like that hahaha
9:20 how did they build a container town there? xD
Has something to do with using cranes lifting other cranes I think, I'm not entirely sure.
Edit: They did it to try and block the nuke and meme
@@BlueLaminate sadly it didn't worked with the nuke xD
Region named the finger
With the Power of Server problems
why do you censor the chat when the nuke dropped? what was the point in that
By default, I leave the chat censored because it takes way too much editing time to look through all the chat logs to make sure that there isn't anything too... sketchy in there :(
You're right though, I probably could've uncensored it there, but I guess editing time was an issue :(
Were the islands actually cut off from the other colonial territories?
At the start, yes. There was usually a lot of fighting in the territory that would've connected the Fingers to the mainland, at Reavers Pass. This place changed hands a lot hahaha. Whenever there was an opening, logistics would bring in supplies and apparently according to this comments section, ballistic missile parts too :D

Nope! I think I'm too much of a casual foxhole player for that 😅

As a Warden I wise I can see this kind of team work on our end.
Well, I'm a Warden (just for this war) so....
I hope you're wrong :D hahaha
Bro fungers island was literally so powerful thanks to communism. The power of communism in foxhole.
I prefer the power of teamwork hahaha :D
Meth
airplanes would be a great addition to this game with air missions and a whole new threat from the sky with fighters and bombers I don't know if any agrees but it's just a suggestion
People do want planes, but they'd be very difficult to implement in a game like foxhole for a lot of reasons; like the maps being too small for fast aircraft. Personally, I'd love to have a midway-style carrier battle hahaha
And I'm sure that the devs have thought about it too, there have been abandoned planes on the map for ages, even in the home region spawn area. It's just not very practical, sadly :(
(Some players have tried to make concepts of how air power could be used though)
