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.
The Navy and the Warden cheaters who dual accounted for 40 days driving tanks into the ocean and emptying out our stockpiles and screenshotting our bunker tech. Nobody mentions that anywhere but it made several of my friends including me uninstall permanently. Still enjoy the vids but the reality of the game is a lot different...
@@Johnjohnthejohn Bruh, I literally have footage of Collie alts driving our outlaws off of docks. Alt accounts are awful and exist in both factions. But we didn't win because of a couple asshats ruining the game.
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.
So these war summaries are only as good as the reports I get from other players ya know? I would love more stories like this and more logistic stories I could add to each war summary. Would have loved a segment about the logistics for reavers pass in this video. Thanks for sharing that and the kind words!
Idk if we had fun shelling the same hex for two weeks, but yeah sure the landing on fingers was fun. It was less LARP than people think lol, easily never has been more coordinnated and complex operations on this game
I play warden as a part of a small vet regi. None of us were playing until your video talking about wardens just not fighting. We went: 'Warden's aren't showing up? Bet.' 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!
Probably the only reason I may never play this game. It seems amazing, but I have too much in life. I barely have time and energy to read or play total war.l
Eyyy the armored car mentioned at 3 minutes was me and a friend! We weren't very helpful lol, it was his first time using a vehicle and I wasn't very experienced either. 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
I came in halfway through the war, introducing my friend to Foxhole, on the Warden side. The weirdos tried to sacrifice him to appease the tech gods via immolation by flamethrower on top of a scrap node, but I prevented that at SMG point. Seeing how low Warden morale was turning to cults, and that the Colonials were winning, I didn't see a point in playing. After several weeks, I had assumed a new war had started, and that my regiment was having an artillery OP. So I joined in, and looked at the map. "What in Callihan's name f*ckin' happened?! I'VE NEVER SEEN SO MANY NUKED HEXES!"
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.
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.
117 was my first war, started off as a colonial and saw that we were winning so I switched teams before the lock happened. Honestly glad I did so, managed to learn pretty much most of the game through endless trial and error against an always pushing enemy. If 118 turns out to be a subjectively bad experience for me in the collie side, ill probably be a warden loyalist forever
Nice! That's awesome to hear! And that's awesome to hear! War 118 is just a strange war overall because the devs are going to artificially end it on November 18th so I wouldn't put to much weight on this war for the Collie side honestly. Most players are taking a break until the update war.
Althought Foxcatcher nuke deinal is such a good success from the Colonial, this massive operations rally also pull some of the regi away from the west and mid lane, result in a stall in Callahan's passage. This little time of breath gave wardens time to finish the defense reinforcement, and stopped Colonial push further north since
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!”
2:30 That was me, the battle at saltbrook was one of our first disastrous losses on the warden side, im still very surprised the war lasted that long and we were able to come back, after we lost that battle I was sure we would've lost the war, I'm glad everyone kept fighting, best war I've fought in 100%, only war Ive played in that I think can somewhat compare is war 110
There is one other unsung battle near the end of the war… The battle for Salt Farms! It was by far the most intense battle ive ever seen in foxhole, and it wasn’t even over a victory point lol, ggs to all the wardens and collies who fought there and to the mass of stolen collie ballistas used to break the concrete fortress that was Salt Farms!
I think i did like 450k damage with flasks there XD their confidence with the big lines of tanks was extreme, and their flanks... deserted all the war XD
As a member of the 6th marine regiment we give everything to this war, countless of frigate operations not only on the sea but in the rivers. when we didn't had any ship operation we focused on logi and some special tank operations here and there alongside CSU. big shotout to every CSU regiment who fought in the East part of the map and never let it fall. Also good job to the collies, i'm sure you lads are thirsty for revenge. war 119 will be a update war, we will all see eachother on the battlefield once again!
Amazing video! Captured the events of the Foxcacther nuke-kill op perfectly. Sadly I wont have much to say about War 118 because I am in full testing mode to help squash bugs foe the update war. o7 Your best video yet Robert! :)
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
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!
It is honestly absolutely wild how organized people in this game are. Never heard of this game till earlier today, I'm getting a PC in the next few weeks I definitely want to play this game when I get it
It was my first war. I kept doing solo sabotage raids on the west using any kind of boat possible. They kept driving us back, I kept going further behind the lines, burning back line logistings up, bridges anyhing to slow them down
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.
Yup, I'm in hward, we tried our best to take maidens for so long, but the Bua bridge is a PAIN, the multiple 90⁰ turns for vehicles to make made doing anything with vehicles on the bridge a pain due to how easily it chokepointed
@@gwetraus9426 we didnt know you guys already make it through the bridge. by the time we were there there were already stalemate so we keep on firing at it
The most fun I had this war was when everyone else was pushing into Foxcatcher. Me and HelpingHans were leading a tank rush to take the mox and start pushing into vipers pit. I got to fill out more of these after war details. Amazing video as always rob
the video everyone was waiting for! Thank you for this, you showed me how amazing this game is and I was lucky enough to witness 117 as my first war as a Warden. So fucking good, I don't think I'll ever be able to quit this game now lol
Colonials give up too easy the second one key point falls and the Wardens start coming back every single front is lost in a day, and the war lost in that same week.
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? Just go ham in falchions, see what you can get up to.
@@SIGNAL-c6u Small skermishs won't win war. Logi win war. When logi players getting burnt out by extened route and then some new game came out to take their attention off Foxhole, there gonna be a trend of low spirit crumbles faction's morale.
@@morrischen5777Logi has no excuse - there are midline logi hubs that colonials could have used, driving one or two hexes isn't burnout inducing unless you're weak
@@morrischen5777if long-distance logi is too straining for you, go half the distance and find someone to do the other half. Foxhole is about faction-wide teamwork after all.
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.
finally back after my studies and good timing for an update on the war as I'm updating my game :D. Saw your video about the planes and that looks awsome
Warden here, I remember delivering logi to stonecradle before it fell. My first dunne had to drive offroad the moment I entered the hex to avoid a colloe push, and was nearly struck by artillery twice, and my second dunne was intercepted by partisans about 10 minutes before the hex fell. We also had to time our runs to avoid partisans in Callum's cape. Who knew blockade running could be such fun? A few days later, I helped push the collies out of Callum's, and was one of the first to push into stonecradle whilst we were trying to set up a bunker. The. Collies destroyed it, and nearly pushed us out, but reinforcememts arrived, and we rebuilt and held.
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!
It's well produced documentaries like this that give me massive nostalgia for those massive moves in games like EVE nearly two decades ago now. Fantastic video and sad that I missed such a historic war.
Hi, full-time Warden here. This war felt like I was always fighting uphill, and in the end of the war it felt like we were unstoppable every hiccup was just that. And victory seemed inevitable. Our Yacht Club is awesome btw.
@RobertLovesGames thank you so much! Was there at bonehaft, too, btw when you guys were shelling us! That was choatic. Holding the line so we could nuke you guys was something else. Was also there when scuttletown was surrounded. That fight was something special too. And thank you guys for giving us the best fight of our lifes! Good Game mate!
This is a fantastic channel - the quotes are perfect little color and the map and icons help add a feeling of Kings and Generals to this all player run war.
Also 31:12 they colonials only had one nuke. Its a visual bug on Foxholestats website that showed 4 nuke landing sites despite there being only one. A similar bug happened with a few other nukes as well, showing 2 landing sites in the same hex when there was 1.
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.
nice video, amazing how a game like this has all these epic moments! me being a single player and joining a clan has radically changed my view and experience of the game.
I have never heard of this game befor youtube just recommended me this video and i think this looks like a realy fun game but complicated aswell. Very great video btw!
That's awesome to hear! I'm working on the next war summary video for the current war as well. Feel free to DM me on discord if you ever want to know more about the game or if you get it and need help learning! It's also on sale right now :D
Also I am a Warden and was there defending Foxcatcher during that Collie op, it was tense! My adrenaline was pumping high. Although we lost the nuke, we did not lose Foxcatcher and the refinery. After that, we did a good job keeping you guys away from Fox and eventually totally rebuilt our conc defenses.
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. Apart from that tiny detail: Great report again! Thank you!
We were furious that our fortification line on Callahans Passage had been wiped out after we had repelled 4 massive Ballista attacks and as attack 5 there was RSC batteri fire. This gave us a momentary moral low. Then the guys from the [82] DK brought us so many resources, twice, that we were on our feet. Thanks for the materials Robert and the [82] DK team! Greetings from a [BA] team member ! ;)
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.
Ha! Wardens make sure to join my discord and share your war stories! You can share them after couple of days so you don't leak intel! And thank you! o7
It was a long time ago when i last fought in a war in foxhole. It was at war 97 and 102 if i remember. But this video makes me want to go back and fight again
That's funny you say that because that's exactly how I treat Eve online. Love watching stories and videos about it but I do not like playing it lol! If you ever do think you want to try Foxhole out DM me on discord and I can help answer any questions for you or help you learn about the game :D
Collies being able to kill the Foxcatcher nuke but not take the Foxcatcher town hall was the turning point in my mind. They threw everything they had at Foxcatcher and we kept the refinery.
This was my first war since I reinstalled after years of not playing and so far its been extremely fun. I was a colonial and even though we lost it was an extremely fun and enjoyable experience. GGs to both sides.
Marban Hollow was a hard fight after the first week. The collies repeatedly rained arty on my bb on the eastern front. We spent days rebuilding defenses over and over with collies ambushing us. 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. Good war with 500+ kills, 600+ revives, and so much building.
its a very good summary video Robert, though I would say that you improved upon these quotes narration so you get the feels of it, If you don't know what I'm referring to, check out some historical channels perhaps. 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... I missed the last days of this war, and I'm quite pissed at myself for not participating, but regardless, it was a very fun war.
@@icedragon2030 which is why I think they changed the godcrofts region and the other similar regions to be more island based so the lines are more fluid and you're not getting stuck in bridge fights that take forever to be decided, I remembered watching the royal spud's first war in 83 on moidawg's channel and for practically the entirety of the conflict, the wardens never really got onto Tempest Island because of those bridges and the lack of naval options to break through with it being almost impossible to land permanent forces anywhere.
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
For specific details I’m only able to tell stories like your examples if people come share them with me. I’m hoping to build the community more to share these stories with me so I don’t miss important battles. I appreciate this feedback!! Thank you!!
@@RobertLovesGames Very fair, but still it might be a good idea to mention major tech resets and destroyed defenses as those are usually what matter most in this game. One good way to find those is to look out for RSC ops or successful naval invasions on either side. They should not be hard to find, especially when they are on the opposing side and everyone is screaming QRF
Amazing summary. Just a small correction - Callahans passage wasn't targeted by four nukes in Linn of Mercy. It was targeted only with one, but when Wardens were pushing into Linn and nearing the nuke, server crashed and rolled back 2 hours of Warden progress. FoxholeStats got confused and instead of showing one nuke target it showed four at one point.
Can't help but feel sad when i don't see 11e being mentioned in the battle of the Fingers when we were the ones doing the landings, operating the Bluefinn and Longhooks aswell as supplying SCUM with all their 150mm and 120mm. While 82DK just came with a fregate to have a piece of the cake. Anyway great video. See you in war 119!
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
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.
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. Also this was my first War 👍
It's videos like this that really get me to want to dive into foxhole. I play the game solo and only log on now and then, so I often miss major events and fail to notice the progress. But when I see something like this I want to join on and try to be there for something next time.
There is always something going on! And there is always ways to make situations fun even if it seems "slow" Also joining a regiment helps with finding cool operations or battles as well. But if you mainly play solo I totally understand that.
Literally "we'll be home by Christmas" moment
Ha! Exactly right!

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.

The Naval LARPers fought, and won. But most importantly, THEY HAD FUN! Wardens had fun and it brought them victory! They can never nuke our morale!

I did the same XD
This war felt like a historical representation of the great war that happened in the lore.
For real! I wish I had more time to make these videos to add more detail.
@ Your videos are still very interesting to watch as I can learn what happened across other fronts that I may have missed.
This is one of the best Foxhole videos that captures the scope of how big the game really is. Now imagine if there were aircraft, it’s gonna be crazy
Thank you! I wish I had more time to add more details!
Just wait till June
Aircraft are coming this summer bb. ;)
Missing wars like this make me mad that I have responsibilities irl
for real
Probably the only reason I may never play this game. It seems amazing, but I have too much in life. I barely have time and energy to read or play total war.l
Eyyy the armored car mentioned at 3 minutes was me and a friend! We weren't very helpful lol, it was his first time using a vehicle and I wasn't very experienced either. 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
0:13 That illustrates even more obviously how eating 4 nukes made warden stronger.
We're radioactive mutants, but we fight on.
They feed on radiation
It's truly interesting hearing stories of the different battles, way better than just the war recap
Glad to hear you like that part! I'm still fine tuning this type of video so expect more improvements with future war summaries :D
I came in halfway through the war, introducing my friend to Foxhole, on the Warden side. The weirdos tried to sacrifice him to appease the tech gods via immolation by flamethrower on top of a scrap node, but I prevented that at SMG point. Seeing how low Warden morale was turning to cults, and that the Colonials were winning, I didn't see a point in playing. After several weeks, I had assumed a new war had started, and that my regiment was having an artillery OP. So I joined in, and looked at the map.
"What in Callihan's name f*ckin' happened?! I'VE NEVER SEEN SO MANY NUKED HEXES!"
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.
The SIlk Road deserves a video of its own. It was a feat of player made logistics.
I was the one who did the final stand mentioned at 25:10. The videos on my channel "fall of old cap". Love the callout made my day.
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.
Good! Glad you think that! :D Thanks for sharing your stories! Really appreciate it! GGs! Now I'm ready for war 119!!
The warden, who has been ignored as part of the "community", schooled all the sweatlords with another comeback lol
Ive been waiting for this hell yeah
Woo!! Hope you like it and hope it was not to long :D
Me too
117 was my first war, started off as a colonial and saw that we were winning so I switched teams before the lock happened. Honestly glad I did so, managed to learn pretty much most of the game through endless trial and error against an always pushing enemy. If 118 turns out to be a subjectively bad experience for me in the collie side, ill probably be a warden loyalist forever
Nice! That's awesome to hear! And that's awesome to hear! War 118 is just a strange war overall because the devs are going to artificially end it on November 18th so I wouldn't put to much weight on this war for the Collie side honestly. Most players are taking a break until the update war.
Althought Foxcatcher nuke deinal is such a good success from the Colonial, this massive operations rally also pull some of the regi away from the west and mid lane, result in a stall in Callahan's passage. This little time of breath gave wardens time to finish the defense reinforcement, and stopped Colonial push further north since
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!”
Dawn of War mentioned, "SHATTER THEIR SKIES"
2:30 That was me, the battle at saltbrook was one of our first disastrous losses on the warden side, im still very surprised the war lasted that long and we were able to come back, after we lost that battle I was sure we would've lost the war, I'm glad everyone kept fighting, best war I've fought in 100%, only war Ive played in that I think can somewhat compare is war 110
There is one other unsung battle near the end of the war… The battle for Salt Farms! It was by far the most intense battle ive ever seen in foxhole, and it wasn’t even over a victory point lol, ggs to all the wardens and collies who fought there and to the mass of stolen collie ballistas used to break the concrete fortress that was Salt Farms!
I wish someone would have given me that report! :D Maybe next war I will hear more last stand stories! Thanks for sharing that!
I thought salt farms will stay until war over. But no lol. I was there after fight over and saw ruins, that was insane.
Orgmaran was my home until... the goblins destroyed it
How are they! You could at least larp a Fallout character there ha
I think i did like 450k damage with flasks there XD their confidence with the big lines of tanks was extreme, and their flanks... deserted all the war XD
Well wardens can now atleast meme that orgmaran broke before the gaurd did.
Worth.
As a member of the 6th marine regiment we give everything to this war, countless of frigate operations not only on the sea but in the rivers. when we didn't had any ship operation we focused on logi and some special tank operations here and there alongside CSU.
big shotout to every CSU regiment who fought in the East part of the map and never let it fall.
Also good job to the collies, i'm sure you lads are thirsty for revenge.
war 119 will be a update war, we will all see eachother on the battlefield once again!
Amazing video! Captured the events of the Foxcacther nuke-kill op perfectly. Sadly I wont have much to say about War 118 because I am in full testing mode to help squash bugs foe the update war. o7 Your best video yet Robert! :)
o7 for squashing bugs...
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
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!
06:08 can't believe collies running arty with medic uniform .. this is againt war rules :p
Being a goblin has it perks,we dont have to obey rules 😈

Love your content brother
Thank you so much that means a lot!
It is honestly absolutely wild how organized people in this game are. Never heard of this game till earlier today, I'm getting a PC in the next few weeks I definitely want to play this game when I get it
Community and game is great! Feel free to DM me on discord if you have any questions about the game or if you need help learning how to play!
As a new player, i'm happy to have play my part as a KGG logi :D
100% Winrate !!!!!
It was my first war. I kept doing solo sabotage raids on the west using any kind of boat possible. They kept driving us back, I kept going further behind the lines, burning back line logistings up, bridges anyhing to slow them down
It’s always a good day when BobbyLuvsGames drops another banger!
Glad to hear! Hope you enjoy!
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.
Yup, I'm in hward, we tried our best to take maidens for so long, but the Bua bridge is a PAIN, the multiple 90⁰ turns for vehicles to make made doing anything with vehicles on the bridge a pain due to how easily it chokepointed
SAF Colonial here, i think the 4 tanks you saw near bua is ours and the ACA’s😂
@@vexocom5103 But why ? Why going to your death in such a tragic way ?
@@gwetraus9426 we didnt know you guys already make it through the bridge. by the time we were there there were already stalemate so we keep on firing at it
@@vexocom5103 Lack of Intelligence I guess. You were on the East side of river right ? If you were not then it's not you I think
>15 minutes for a single town fight
>3 minutes for last 10 days of war
It do be like that sometimes. All based on reports that I get :D
The most fun I had this war was when everyone else was pushing into Foxcatcher. Me and HelpingHans were leading a tank rush to take the mox and start pushing into vipers pit. I got to fill out more of these after war details.
Amazing video as always rob
the video everyone was waiting for! Thank you for this, you showed me how amazing this game is and I was lucky enough to witness 117 as my first war as a Warden. So fucking good, I don't think I'll ever be able to quit this game now lol
11e also took part of the invasion of Fingers as the main landing force and bringing Battleships, Fregate and the Bluefins to fuel the front.
Colonials give up too easy the second one key point falls and the Wardens start coming back every single front is lost in a day, and the war lost in that same week.
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? Just go ham in falchions, see what you can get up to.
@@SIGNAL-c6u Small skermishs won't win war. Logi win war. When logi players getting burnt out by extened route and then some new game came out to take their attention off Foxhole, there gonna be a trend of low spirit crumbles faction's morale.
@@morrischen5777Logi has no excuse - there are midline logi hubs that colonials could have used, driving one or two hexes isn't burnout inducing unless you're weak
@@Moosemoose1 bro you do realized frontline logi isn't the only part of logi chore in this game right?
@@morrischen5777if long-distance logi is too straining for you, go half the distance and find someone to do the other half. Foxhole is about faction-wide teamwork after all.
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.
finally back after my studies and good timing for an update on the war as I'm updating my game :D. Saw your video about the planes and that looks awsome
Warden here, I remember delivering logi to stonecradle before it fell. My first dunne had to drive offroad the moment I entered the hex to avoid a colloe push, and was nearly struck by artillery twice, and my second dunne was intercepted by partisans about 10 minutes before the hex fell. We also had to time our runs to avoid partisans in Callum's cape. Who knew blockade running could be such fun?
A few days later, I helped push the collies out of Callum's, and was one of the first to push into stonecradle whilst we were trying to set up a bunker. The. Collies destroyed it, and nearly pushed us out, but reinforcememts arrived, and we rebuilt and held.
Nice! Sounds like an exciting logi run! Thanks for sharing that!
I love your video style, very clean.
This was my second war on the warden side. What a ride
Nice! It was a good one! GGs!
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!
Stumbled across your videos and man your summary of the wars just makes the game even more amazing!
Thank you so much! I plan to make these summaries better each time as well :D
Qrf! Robert uploaded!
It's well produced documentaries like this that give me massive nostalgia for those massive moves in games like EVE nearly two decades ago now. Fantastic video and sad that I missed such a historic war.
Hi, full-time Warden here. This war felt like I was always fighting uphill, and in the end of the war it felt like we were unstoppable every hiccup was just that. And victory seemed inevitable.
Our Yacht Club is awesome btw.
Thanks for sharing that! And well done on your comeback! GGs!
@RobertLovesGames thank you so much! Was there at bonehaft, too, btw when you guys were shelling us! That was choatic. Holding the line so we could nuke you guys was something else. Was also there when scuttletown was surrounded. That fight was something special too.
And thank you guys for giving us the best fight of our lifes! Good Game mate!
This is a fantastic channel - the quotes are perfect little color and the map and icons help add a feeling of Kings and Generals to this all player run war.
Thanks! Glad you enjoy it! And thanks for the positive feedback. Appreciate that!
Also 31:12 they colonials only had one nuke. Its a visual bug on Foxholestats website that showed 4 nuke landing sites despite there being only one. A similar bug happened with a few other nukes as well, showing 2 landing sites in the same hex when there was 1.
Oh really? lol. I'm an idiot. That's good to know for the future though! Thank you! I really thought they had 4 nuke sites up :D
Great video, good job. There are those that hate long wars but I love them. This war was special and helps make our own player lore.
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.
Incredible! Very interesting to watch, thanks for this video Robert!
And people say I should stop maining wardens. How about no.
lol! Praise Callahan!
Treasury is like one giant burnt out crater the entire war
For real lol! Sad I never made it over there.
@RobertLovesGames we fired around 14,000 fire rockets during that war over there
farranac coast vet here, it was brutal the entire damn time
Nice! Almost 40 days by Bone Haft! Then Wardens sweep the colonials in the last days! GGs!
nice video, amazing how a game like this has all these epic moments! me being a single player and joining a clan has radically changed my view and experience of the game.
Thank you! And there are probably so many epic moments I missed!
I can’t wait to get this game it’s so damn cool to see players use tactics and have like multiple day long operations
Woo!! Feel free to DM me on discord if you ever have any questions about the game or if you need help learning anything!
I have never heard of this game befor youtube just recommended me this video and i think this looks like a realy fun game but complicated aswell. Very great video btw!
That's awesome to hear! I'm working on the next war summary video for the current war as well. Feel free to DM me on discord if you ever want to know more about the game or if you get it and need help learning! It's also on sale right now :D
Also I am a Warden and was there defending Foxcatcher during that Collie op, it was tense! My adrenaline was pumping high. Although we lost the nuke, we did not lose Foxcatcher and the refinery. After that, we did a good job keeping you guys away from Fox and eventually totally rebuilt our conc defenses.
Nice! That's awesome to hear! Thanks for sharing that side of the story :D Need those kind of small notes to add to summaries like this!
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.
Apart from that tiny detail: Great report again! Thank you!
The longer the war the more stable the build. The devs know what theyre doing
I’m loving this style of content, it’s what I’ve been looking for in foxhole content for as long as I’ve know of the games existence. Keep it up‼️🔥✍️
Thank you! Glad you enjoy it! I plan to make it better each and every time :D
We were furious that our fortification line on Callahans Passage had been wiped out after we had repelled 4 massive Ballista attacks and as attack 5 there was RSC batteri fire. This gave us a momentary moral low. Then the guys from the [82] DK brought us so many resources, twice, that we were on our feet. Thanks for the materials Robert and the [82] DK team!
Greetings from a [BA] team member ! ;)
I was there at Cpass. Man that bombardment sucked. Still shell shocked.
Always love the reports for the wars. Great use of quotes and first hand experiences.. felt like a true war correspondent. Great work 👍👍
Thank you! That's something new I added in for this summary so I hope I can get better with the quotes and now I narrate the summary next time!
@RobertLovesGames it shows 👍. Excellent to see this channel evolving so much so quickly..All whilst have a new baby to look after. Amazing stuff! 👍
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.
HCNS was insane this war! Well done to you guys. Thanks a lot for repairing SNS Conclave a billion times!
16:08 300 is a funny name for a regiment that does such suicide ops 😄😄
lol nice! Love it!
Definitely feels like there were less wardens reporting their stories so we gotta get on that for the next war. Good video as alway o7
Ha! Wardens make sure to join my discord and share your war stories! You can share them after couple of days so you don't leak intel! And thank you! o7
It was a long time ago when i last fought in a war in foxhole. It was at war 97 and 102 if i remember. But this video makes me want to go back and fight again
That's awesome to hear! Glad to have you back out here!
Came back to this war after a year long break, was def worth it to keep struggling as a Caovish! Im going Mesean this war now though!
For me Foxhole is the new Eve online for me. Wonderful game to read and hear stories about, but to complex for me to want to try it.
That's funny you say that because that's exactly how I treat Eve online. Love watching stories and videos about it but I do not like playing it lol!
If you ever do think you want to try Foxhole out DM me on discord and I can help answer any questions for you or help you learn about the game :D
Collies being able to kill the Foxcatcher nuke but not take the Foxcatcher town hall was the turning point in my mind. They threw everything they had at Foxcatcher and we kept the refinery.
Thank you for the awesome video!
No problem! o7
This was my first war since I reinstalled after years of not playing and so far its been extremely fun. I was a colonial and even though we lost it was an extremely fun and enjoyable experience. GGs to both sides.
Marban Hollow was a hard fight after the first week. The collies repeatedly rained arty on my bb on the eastern front. We spent days rebuilding defenses over and over with collies ambushing us. 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. Good war with 500+ kills, 600+ revives, and so much building.
4:14 Biomass? What are they? Tyranids? :P
Yes they are lol. They zerg the fronts!
its a very good summary video Robert, though I would say that you improved upon these quotes narration so you get the feels of it, If you don't know what I'm referring to, check out some historical channels perhaps.
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...
I missed the last days of this war, and I'm quite pissed at myself for not participating, but regardless, it was a very fun war.
I remember people on Reddit saying that the wardens only where able to punch because of navy
Warden navy played a big role in this war!
@@icedragon2030 which is why I think they changed the godcrofts region and the other similar regions to be more island based so the lines are more fluid and you're not getting stuck in bridge fights that take forever to be decided, I remembered watching the royal spud's first war in 83 on moidawg's channel and for practically the entirety of the conflict, the wardens never really got onto Tempest Island because of those bridges and the lack of naval options to break through with it being almost impossible to land permanent forces anywhere.
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
For specific details I’m only able to tell stories like your examples if people come share them with me. I’m hoping to build the community more to share these stories with me so I don’t miss important battles. I appreciate this feedback!! Thank you!!
@@RobertLovesGames Very fair, but still it might be a good idea to mention major tech resets and destroyed defenses as those are usually what matter most in this game. One good way to find those is to look out for RSC ops or successful naval invasions on either side. They should not be hard to find, especially when they are on the opposing side and everyone is screaming QRF
I have it in my notes to talk about tech. But I feel it needs to connect to a story or report ya know?
420st VS NOD and 82DK made Clastra the deadliest hex o7 GGs wardens. We only grow in numbers
Ha! Great battle!
Amazing summary. Just a small correction - Callahans passage wasn't targeted by four nukes in Linn of Mercy. It was targeted only with one, but when Wardens were pushing into Linn and nearing the nuke, server crashed and rolled back 2 hours of Warden progress. FoxholeStats got confused and instead of showing one nuke target it showed four at one point.
Can't help but feel sad when i don't see 11e being mentioned in the battle of the Fingers when we were the ones doing the landings, operating the Bluefinn and Longhooks aswell as supplying SCUM with all their 150mm and 120mm. While 82DK just came with a fregate to have a piece of the cake. Anyway great video. See you in war 119!
+1
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
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.
Ill forever have flashbacks of The Fingers, and silicon Shelf
I wish I could have been at The Fingers this war! All the best battles were when I was at work lol
Love this style of video
Thank you! Hope to make them better each time :D
Man it allmost feels like every war after eachoter is the deadliest war
We keep raising the bar!
Awesome recap, Robert. A cool addition would be a VP and day counter graphic.
I’ll try see what I can do! I will have to keep track of VPs manually. Unfortunately no system records them throughout the war that I know of.
Do you think a Foxhole style game could work in a Cold War style setting?
Oh for sure!
I was a physician at Foxcatcher during the main assault. It was nuts.
Nice! And I bet! GGs!
Only ever fought in frannac coast to protect Nevish and my regi’s base. I like to think I protected bone haft well.
Nice! Well done!
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.
Also this was my first War 👍
Farranac coast warden here. You can thank me for placing all the barb wire 😂
It's videos like this that really get me to want to dive into foxhole. I play the game solo and only log on now and then, so I often miss major events and fail to notice the progress. But when I see something like this I want to join on and try to be there for something next time.
There is always something going on! And there is always ways to make situations fun even if it seems "slow" Also joining a regiment helps with finding cool operations or battles as well. But if you mainly play solo I totally understand that.
Bro is now a war reporter
This is not where I saw myself 3 years ago when I first started playing Foxhole :D But it has been a lot of fun!
