    This was my first war, I chose Warden, and started to regret it because it felt like we were getting beaten. I was away for a vacation, and came back to see the Wardens had surged and taken victory. Just incredible, and Im sad I missed it.

    Man, I understand why but this vid glosses over so many important moments.
    One thing I really want to shout out as a warden player was the silk road. The silk road was a player made logisitics road from the fingers that conneced to reavers pass. The road utilized two player made pier bridges to bridge the gap between the mainland in fingers and the large middle island that extends into reavers pass. The bridge on the fingers side was called Bridge Al Gaib and the second bridge on the reavers pass side was called The New York Bridge. A gigantic player made provisional road connected the bridges through the border crossing. This road was maintained kept up even through the rapid decay zone near the border by constant work from very busy logi players. This player made logi route saw as much traffic as any major logi road on the main land.
    Frankly, the logistical efforts to support the reavers pass push was nothing like I have ever seen in this game before.
    great vid.

We fired over 3000 150mm and supplied ammo to multiple battleships and participated on the western push and multiple landings. Thanks for bringing us into this epic war Robert!

We did manage to get a decent few infantry kills and make it a bit harder for some to advance, but as our troops fell back we ended up getting trapped by our own guys placing landmines behind us. Was a fun time though! My group got a ton more experience with vehicles throughout the war, I think we were pretty good at it by the end

    The War Summaries that you do have been awesome. I wouldn't change anything.
    This war was a lot of fun to fight in. My regiment went Warden and we were expecting it to be a short one, much like 116. But the Wardens and community had other ideas.
    What was supposed to be our own little break, turned into us doing more than we first thought.
    Especially myself supplying Tuatha and Breakwater with loaded tanks via Iron Ships and some vets even mentioning that they themselves never knew you could load a fully loaded tank on the ships.
    Had a lot of fun that war.

    I've been a long time Warden logi player in Foxhole but this war was unlike anything I've ever seen.
    Me and the other SSA players started off in Stonecradle but we quickly had to abandon our traditional home hex, and my bar in Buckler Sound, because of the deteriorating situation there on day one. We ended up in Callum's Keep for the next two weeks, churning out supplies for the surrounding fights in Stonecradle and The Moors. I think it first dawned on me that this war was going to be different around day 10-13 when all of a sudden it felt like Warden resolve stiffened up. I wasn't sure that we could win, but I was confident that we weren't going to just let the Colonials roll over us.
    Around the time that a nuke was targeting Ogmaran, we decided to shift some of our operations out Isawa in Godcrofts as an insurance policy. I think in our minds we were worried that once Ogmaran was cracked open the Colonials would swarm over the backline areas and that would be that, we just wanted a place to do logi in peace. At this time I still viewed the naval invasions as an interesting idea but I never could have imagined that the landings in The Fingers would have gone as successfully as they did in the end. After The Old Captain was up and running for a few days, I took some of our gear from Isawa down there to set up our third operation. By this point we were spread out in three hex's doing logi which was a lot for a small group like ours but it honestly made it all the more fun.
    Most of my last few days in the war were spent manufacturing in Old Captain to try to help resupply the pushes into Reavers and Terminus. I ended the war as part of the push into Origin, having to run supplies down from Longstone in Westgate just to get into the fight. I was part of the crew of a couple of large ships that were shelling Initium before I finally joined the ground invasion to help take the town hall. Once the war was won, both Colonials and Wardens just stood around the town hall in Initium talking, congratulating each other on fighting the good fight.
    It was a great way to end one of the most amazing wars I've ever been a part of. Hats off to everyone who took part in this war, be you Warden or Colonial, you all fought the good fight no matter what. SSA and myself are all on break for 118 but we'll see you all in 119. Stop by the bar in Buckler Sound, I swear the drinks aren't irradiated!

    Greetings from SCUM, I remember how we first tried to secure Fisherman's Row in day 1. A few weeks later, we were trying to take Stema with all we had, not to mention all the other regiments that worked together. There are literally too many regiments to name! In the end, we made it to Fingers and Reavers. Great video, but I hoped to see the Silk Road too. It was a handmade logi road that essentially established land connection to Reaver's Pass, Breakwater. It consisted of 2 navy pier bridges and one gravel road.

    Edit: Oh shit that 150mm barrage from Scarp was us! We made it bros! Shoutout to "Ass Arty" squad. I can't believe we got the relic so low! What a tense battle. Wardens did a great job defending!
    Absolutely insane levels of confidence among the collies through the first half of the war. I remember at the end of week 1 people saying in global chat that we were gonna end this war as quickly as possible. Man, the absolute turn around. Loads of salt in the global text and even some upset local voice chat veterans complaining about "new players" this and "logi" that. Luckily, the cry babies were in minority. Despite slowly being grinded down into a loss, I still saw day after day veteran collie players helping new guys learn the ropes of frontline and logi combat.
    My favorite moment from this war was meeting some dudes who wanted to run a mortar team. We did that for the night, and the next day set up a position on a different front line, now with 150's. We kept recruiting and recruiting until there were dedicated logi guys in the squad gathering shells for the endless bombardment. We spent over 3,000 150mm shells during one 3 hour battle. Shit was cash

    Fort of Rime of mentioned. I’m almost sad that the defenses at Rime never got truly tested.
    Anytime the Collies got close the Wardens shelled the holy Christ out of them with batteries presighted on Hoarfrost.
    10th built the batteries up, built ammo facs on the batteries, and then constructed AI howies to discourage counter battery.
    Anytime the Collies got close it was just like “Shatter their sky!”

    It would be great if you could include submissions from people showing crucial battles, like the foxcatcher nuke battle. Maybe ~30 secs per submission and maybe the one submitting it could edit it for less headache on your end. The most crucial battles like fingers invasion, rime defence, and foxcatcher nuke kill were so major they deserve a segment of footage. Other than that great vid overall. The submissions would help to break the video up and capture some of the mindboggling madness of what happened.

    I bought the game halfway through the war and joined Wardens Naturally I was immediately thrust into the thick of it haha. I was picked up by SoBs not long after and had lots of fun maintaining a shell fac and public upgrade pads in Reaching Trail right along the border to Moors. Our facility was also the perfect jumping off point for partisan operations into Moors, and 3/4 our parking lot was collie vics by the end of the war :D. We made sure logi into Borderlane was always a hassle, burned down any attempts at getting a frontline fuel fac up at the oilfield near the junction leading up to it and conducted hit and run rocket attacks on Morrighan's Grave and Solas. The lions of Ogmaragrad held off collie attacks on the outskirts of the city for a week before, and even some time after the nuke. This allowed us to conduct a major artillery operation together with local regiments, which smashed open Headstone and unhinged the entire collie defensive line, leading to it's eventual collapse not long after. Better luck next time goblins! GG and thank you for providing me such a perfect introduction to Foxhole!

    Wardens paved a player-made road from Second Man, through the Plankhouse finger, back down to Breakwater. The al Gaib and New York bridges, and the Silk Road they were part of, are why we held the region. The naval advantage would've meant little without that crucial link between The Old Captain and the depot in Breakwater. That fire in Terminus is what enabled the rest of the comeback. The fact that I only ever saw one partisan on it was a miracle and testament both. The NY bridge was torn down in the Reaver's counterattack, but whoever got it back up on our second offensive saved the front.
    Seriously though, it was not at all a steamroll. Shirts were just nowhere in Warden depots. One front going wrong could've collapsed the entire thing. We got lucky trapping a battleship between the Liberation Point and Fort Duncan bridges (and that ATRs should probably not kill line ships), and that the Collies bled more for the Loch Mor nuke than we did encircling it.
    Cobalt river in the Deadlands though. It will only make us stronger.

    Fighting on the colonial side of this war and capturing most of "The Moors" i genuinely didn't expect the wardens to make such a comeback.
    i remember when i took a small break after we almost entirely took over the moors, and when i came back a few days later, half the map was Blue and Stema Landing was being invaded, and a few days after that the fingers.
    GJ Wardens for that victory, had fun playing with everyone involved.

      Its the curse of 82DK. If anywhere on any frontline you see any SPG, RSC, SHT or any other valuable target, as long as there is at least one 82DK member in the hex, it is automaticaly contributed by enemy to 82DK until proven otherwise.
      I still remember when SuperHeavy tanks were implemented, and collonials on reddit reported 8 different destroyed Superheavies to belong to 82DK just because there was one of their infantry guy standing nearby in their screenshots :-D

      Collies need a morale victory war, where they pass the morale check and go on to win. Y'all need this so bad, if it has happened you need a new one, a recent one to prove to the new players that it can be done. Some hindsight: when you pushed to the western backline regions; RSCs would have ended us there I think. Also when we were pushing south post counter attack some roaming tank squads in the midline regions would have killed so much logi etc... just barge a few tanks behind the lines land at victa maybe?

    Having joined HCNS, we often just collected material and stuff to build up the Warden navy. So not too much excitement. I mean, there was always the occasional colonial partisan and submarine trying to breach our hex, but we quickly dealt with that without much problems.
    However, when we deployed out with our own Battlship, the HCNS Vanguard, heading for the Fingers, we resupplied in Stlican Shelf. There had been no sightings of Colonial ships, so we felt safe but was still weary... And while I was standing against the ammo rack to the forwards 150 mm. turret, a colonial torpedo came out of nowhere and hit the hull directly, and I mean DIRECTLY where my legs were positioned. Short to say, I perished in an instant. I respawned on the ship, nobody else got decimated, and we had to close the front compartment while trying to repair what we could. Short to say, that was a memorable happening for me on that mission. That's for sure.

    Warden from Marban Hollow here. The main reason no progress were made first in the beginning of the war was the infamous Bua's Bridge , crossing it from east to west is an almost impossible task as vehicles are confined to a single chokepoint.
    In the East , men were fighting to push the collies back to the bridge.
    In the West, men were fighting in hope of finally getting to Maiden's Veil and ending the stalemate.
    One time on the East we saw 2 BT's and 2 BTDS rushing the bridge from their south base while we were pushing the collies past the bridge , they got blocked because the bridge was down and were taken down with ease. To this my regiment still don't have any clue of why they did such a suicidal move.

    Amazing Video! I only have one suggestion for future war breakdowns like this: you covered a ton of territory changes but little about more strategic victories. For instance in the Siege of Fingers, you meantioned that wardens took most of the hex but where pushed out again by a counteroffensive. This is not wrong, but not really accurate either; the plan from the start was to destroy defenses and reset tech rather then to actually hold the entire region for a significant amount of time. The colonial counter offensive way much more a cleanup by a very small amount of players, rather then an actual battle
    Or another more simple example, you more or less went over Wardens retaking Buckler Sound as some minor territory changes in Stonecradle, but taking that midline hub back was more or less the starting point for the warden comeback
    But I really dont want to nitpick; I can only imagine how much effort this was as is. I just wish that it becomes more apperant how wars are won and victories look like to casual and new players, aside from them just looking at the map colors

    And again this war literally shocked me as a warden still suffering from war 115 and war 116, before the final day of the war I checked the map and it was still a stalemate, just the position is pretty much the same as it was in the first day of the war, and when I checked the map again a few days later I saw warden has won...

We finally captured and secured the east bridges. The west also pushed back after almost losing viper pit. The next two/three weeks was us just repeatedly hitting them until it fell.

    32:12 As far as I remember it was one nuke targeted at Callahan's Passage (Linn of Mercy) which was the only nuke ready at that time. During the Wardens assault on Linn of Mercy, where they successfully conquered a good part and town hall, the server crashed, leading to a rollback, lost tanks, Colonials destroying the tanks of not yet spawned in again tank crews and basically pushed back the formerly successful attack. So kind of like the Ashtown incident in war 108 (?).
    Anyway, during that server recovery it seemingly duplicated the Nuke so that it seemed like 4 where now targeting Callahans Passage.

It's understandable that coming in during War 116 they would have had that impression but my hope is that War 117 proves to everyone that War 116 is no longer the norm as much as many of us may wish for the days when the map was smaller and wars were quick.

It is also important to mention the tank factory in Limestone Holdfast in reaching trail, which essentially produced 2 SHTs every single day from SHT tech day to the war end, as well as uncountable amounts of Battle Tanks and SPGs.

    AzureusFox, W01, 33rd Engineering Corps [33rd].
    War 117 was interesting to say the least. I joined the war late on the side of the Colonials and spent most of my time at the Scarp of Ambrose in Farranac Coast alongside members of the 33rd being an artillery gunner and/or loader, driving a tank for my squad or just fighting as standard infantry. For many days we were at a stalemate on the bridge leading to Bone Haft, sometimes it seemed like we were going to be able to push across only to get beaten back. Our artillery would decimate the Warden lines, destroying their pillboxes, damaging their tanks and setting fire to the Town Hall only for our infantry to not be able to take advantage of it all. I would have to say the Warden Snipers definitely played a key role in halting our troops from crossing. Sometimes the Wardens would be able to cross, with tanks even, but we were able to beat them back for the most part.
    Elsewhere on the map it looked like we were winning, although we didn't hold any naval hexes, we held the majority of the VPs on the mainland... Until the Wardens naval landed in The Fingers and we somehow lost the whole hex within a couple of days. From that moment it all went downhill, we were getting pushed back on all fronts, defeat after defeat as swarms of Warden tanks and infantry captured town after town. Seriously, I had never seen so many tanks all in one place especially during the final hours at Blemish.
    It was very disheartening to see our forces not be able to do anything and whole hexes were being lost in a mere few days, maybe hours. After Scarp and later Farranac was lost, I, as well the rest of 33rd, shifted our focus on Reavers' after the Wardens managed to take it. We fought alongside the 113th on one of their Destroyers for a while as loaders and repair crew. We took part in raids against the Warden logi lines, blowing up a bridge connecting Breakwater to Clay Coffer and even destroying their Seaport at Keelhaul, supporting our troops to eventually push and recapture Reavers. Afterwards, the 33rd moved to Clahstra, fighting in the trenches just outside Weephome before being invited to be gunners and loaders for a Lance-46 “Sarissa” 150mm SPG that was shelling Weephome Relic Base. Eventually the Colonials were able to capture it and our SPG moved to the Treasury, shelling the Wardens on the bridge until our ammo ran out.
    After that we decided to take a break until the next war, I would return a few of days later, because I still wanted to play and see how things go, to see the situation had worsened drastically. The Wardens had taken almost everything, leaving only a handful of hexes still in Colonial control. I joined a Battleship heading to Terminus from Acrithia but the game server had a different plan and I was disconnected, upon rejoining in the Colonial Home Region, I watched on the map as our ships were decimated.I joined the fight at Saltbrook for a bit, managing to cross one of the southern bridges and bayoneting at least 3 Wardens at the other bridge and killing a further 4 as they pushed near the house I was in. Afterwards, I decided to join the fight in the Heartlands, fighting in The Breach for a while, even able to join a Lance-25 “Hasta” crew as an Engineer for a bit before I had to go work. Eventually, the Breach was lost and, with only a few hours until the war's end, I joined the final stand in Blemish. Watching on the map as Ashtown and Hermit's Rest came under attack. Eventually, it would be Hermit, the last VP the Wardens needed, that would fall.
    Many from our side blamed the Colonial Navy for the defeat, seeing fleets of ships in the backlines going unused for the entirety of the war, some would blame the excessive use of nukes especially on towns that could've just been captured, fortified and used for logi and I know a decent amount of players got burnt out as the war dragged on.
    Here's to War 119, I'll see you in the trenches.

    I learned this war that nukes fired isn't a good metric to see which side is winning. It stretches the logi line for both sides, so its really a double edged blade. I can't deny the impact it has on morale though.

    Great video! I'm not a foxhole player but this looks like a lot of fun! I've only tried the game once but ended up refunding it because I couldn't understand how people were killing me way away when I couldn't even see them 😅

      Thank you! And fair enough! If you ever get the game again feel free to DM me on discord and I can help you learn how to play!
