Hello! I think I'm saying this right, but I was the one that took out your stormbreaker at 1:09 . I'm a new player, and I spawned at the front and a guy needed a roll push cart gun guy to help him, and I ended up on that taking out tanks, watchtowers, and the stormbreaker. Hell of a great time on both sides, what a blast! The whole battle sold me on the game, trying to get my hands dirty now doing logi.
That’s awesome to hear! Nice work!
If you need help learning logi feel free to DM me on discord!
Its crazy to see you make a video on this. Im suprissed the salt farms lasted so many days, but we will take it back
It was a fun battle! And yea they lasted like 3 or 4 days? Was awesome! GGs to everyone!
it starts to fall right at the Wardens cutting off the logi road down south.
I was a collie running in supplies while the roads were blockaded late in the battle. Kept deadlands alive for a few more hours. We had no shirts half the time for the last day
My favorite moment during the siege was a few days earlier when I managed to steal a silverhand from the warden relic base
Nice work! And I was wondering when y’all would run out of supplies. And nice work on taking a silverhand! Our defense was pretty poor ha
For this war I’ve played Colonias for the first time.
At the start, we were a lot but as the Wardens captured and gained terrain, we started loosing faith pretty quick (speaking for myself and the mini rigiment I play in)
Lot of logi players stopped playing, and our three attempts to build and maintain a concrete bunker base failed.
I don’t really believe in break wars, but this time I really feel like the colos weren’t motivated to play or even attempt to win battles
That's cool to hear you switched up what faction your playing!
Colonials had a great start this war but us Wardens have slowly been chipping away it seems.
I feel like what happens a lot is when an update is announced a lot of players stop playing just so they have the energy to play when the update war starts.
You also have some players that only play when they are winning. It's always a number of things but yea I would defiantly not call this a break war.
As you may know I hate the term "break war" but if I were to ever say a war was a break war now days it would have to be a war that ends under 15-18 days. That would be an indicator telling me that one side did not log on. But wars that are still getting close to 30 days tells me that people are still out there trying their best.
Thanks for sharing that!
As a proud member of the 405th Siege Regiment - thank you for showcasing our units ability to dismantle the foe with heavy weaponary!
Of course! Any time! When I get more time I would like to do a better job at showcasing clans and regiments I'm fighting along side. GGs!
This was my first war. as a colonial no less
2-3 days before this footage was the best times i had in foxhole, joined the first regiment who took me in (NAVIS) and with our 2 tanks (hatchets?) and working with infantry on the ground (and alot of other stuff i wasnt able to see i bet) we pushed the wardens from saltflats took back abandoned ward and pushed the wardens back across the river.
Was probably one of my greatest gaming experiences working together to make that initial break.
was quite saddening to see all the progess lost and then more the next day.. but i suppose thats the game XD
in a side fun note, one of our tanks survived 3 consecutive days of combat, i think we lost like 3-4 tanks and that bloody thing still survived :D long live horatio! (yes we named it)
Welcome to Foxhole!
And thanks for sharing your side of the battle! That sounds really cool!
And yes the loss progress is part of the game ha. This game is about inches. You may fight over a city several times before winning it completely or losing it.
And that's awesome your tank lasted so long! Must have a good team. And glad you named it! That's always really cool to see!
Thanks for sharing all that!
Hope you continue to enjoy Foxhole!
The battle for this hex was a toil to say the least. Good show wardens but we'll be back
It really was! And I hope so! GGs!
me and the majority of the 420th played a major role in the defence you blueberries have done a good job this war
Nicely done! It was quite the fortress and not easy to break into! GGs!
Those 3 RSCs made mince meat of our concrete in foundry, none of our tanks could get through the border to stop them firing. apparently they were surrounded by a huge minefield
They set them up so fast! It was like hours after we took Salt Farm and they were already firing on Foundry. Was crazy to see!
Thanks for sharing your perspective on it! Cool to hear from the other side!
Very glad you finally showcased some of our victories in the 27th. Salt farms was a grind of a battle, and I’m sad I couldn’t be there to take part in cracking it open. Kudos to everyone who took part in the battle o7
Yea I was glad we finally pulled out a win as well! Was a good one too! GGs! o7
I spent 8 hours defending salt farms. The biggest roles I played were artillery operator and sniper. Focused primarily on the western front
nfml
I miss playing this game, i used to love sneaking into enemy territory at night time and using that sound something app and would play the Predator soundbyte in proximity chat and laughing at the others guys going " wtf ". Fun times.
Sounds fun! lol
Lol I installed the game because of one of your videos just to get help get sieged down by you. It all comes full circle.
LOL! Too perfect! And that's awesome to hear thanks for telling me that!
If you need any help with anything DM me on discord!
GGs! See you out there soon!
Btw for forward bunkers you can use the triangle corner pieces instead of the square ones to make the bunker a smaller target for artillery
Thanks for the tip! I’ll remember that for next time!
I feel like I've dropped every free hour I've got into churning out public msups and bmats in Terminus since I found out about this game two weeks ago - partly in thanks to youtube randomly suggesting one of your videos to me. It's rough that my first war is starting to seem like a loss, but I feel better about it knowing I at least put in a good effort into keeping the industry going.
Welcome to Foxhole! As a Warden on the eastern front, I can tell you your efforts are worth it, but don't burn out! Make sure you check out other aspects of the game too!
Ha! That sounds about right for starting out! Great logi work right there.
Sometimes losing wars can be some of the best! Keep doing good logi work and learning how to do it more efficiently! That win will come! And know that you helped out a lot of players with the work you did.
And just as Agate mentioned make sure you don't burn yourself out. Take breaks or try different roles in the game. That helps me keep the game fresh. For example in this video. After 1300 hours in game that was my first ever forward bunker base I built. Now I want to slowly start getting into the building side of Foxhole.
If you ever have any questions or need anything feel free to DM me on discord!
@@RobertLovesGames 1m salvage gathered, 900k materials submitted and 600k delivered. My goal for the war was to hit 1m in all three, but tonights invasion completely wrecked the facility i was maintaining so I'm feeling a bit disheartened now. I'm something of a sore loser, so I stayed up till the early morning hours fighting back the invaders to reclaim "my spot." We succeeded, but I'm not sure how I'll react if it's blue when I wake up.
I could see myself sticking around for years to come if the server chills a bit with the lag. :p
@@agate4925 No risk of that I think. I found the game at a time in my life when I really needed something I could go crazy with to put my mind off other issues. In an odd way, total attritional warfare has been strangely therapeutic for me. :)
Granted, once the new game smell starts fading, my other hobbies will reclaim some of my free time once more. But right now I'm having a lot of fun.
@@agate4925 I don't think I'm at any risk of doing so. I happened to have found this game at a time in my life when I could use something I pour my time into in order to keep my mind off other things. It's been strangely therapeutic in a way.
Well as colonial logi player one positive thing about this war at the moment is the short supply routes :d
Bah! I feel that every time I'm on the losing side as well. Being on the losing side actually makes me play more honestly. When I'm on the winning side I do less and less logi.
Keep up the good work!
I was cutting logi in the hex down south. A group managed to build up a bunker base close to the border with supplies to keep the cut going
That was such a great idea! Think that really helped with this battle. Nicely done!
So your the guy keep building the Watchtower down south.
Fire arty commander here.
We set T2 defence into the highest tier of fire possible, but collies sadly had a firetruck and extingushed it immediatly.
But anyway we all are heroes cause take The Farms.
o7
Nicely done still on the fire rockets! Keeps them on their toes!
And yes you are right everyone has a role to play in these battles! GGs! o7
i found an unsupervised collie bunker base today, next to it they left an unsupervised palette of barbed wire, i had fun today
Ha nice! That does sound like some fun mischief!
Whenever you come back to the Colonial side COG(Colonial Old Guard) is great at Frontline logistics and base building. Currently built up most of Reavers Pass as a front line base full concrete with Howie traps and more. Under 5 days of nonstop building and help from other community builders and logistics players on the front lines. If you do wish to learn. our top builders hold classes during off wars. This as a refresher course If you wish to join us sometime.
That sounds great! I will keep that in mind! Thanks for the invite!
Frontline building is mostly all about persistence. Your stuff will get blown up but you just keep trying.
Forward spawns are always great in a fight like that, so long as the logi players use their heads and don't over supply it.
There's all sorts of quick stuff you can setup with trench emplacements + EMGs/EATs or sandbag strongpoints or solid trench lines.
I am slowly learning that ha. Built a semi forward bunker last night that I thought would last and was killed like an hour later ha.
Thanks for your thoughts on this and the tips! Appreciate it!
Too bad i was on opposite time zone as you, when the bunker on the west got built up, we tried to push, almost got the gate then many tanks go out and push us back and arti our bunker for hours, it was fall down for few hours, luckily we can still push back and take down the rest of them, what a great experience
Oh dang! Thanks for sharing your side of the story! That is really cool to hear!
Maybe see you out there next time! GGs!
Great to see you building, @RobertLuvsGames ! I think it's too easy to get intimidated by the veteran builder meta, but a push BB at the right place can be 20 minutes of work and make a huge difference.
That said, next time you build one, put the door on the side opposite the bad guys. :D
BAH! Noted! My thinking was "If I put it on this side our soldiers will get to the front faster" but your reasoning makes more sense lol.
But yes I am very intimidated still and don't want to get yelled at or look stupid. I will probably do something mainly with builders after this next update war for a couple of wars to get really comfortable with building.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this and the tip! Appreciate it!
404th built the conc metas around salt farms. Great work holding back the wardens!
Nice! Thanks for letting me know that! They did a great job! GGs!
Same day this was going many people at unbera wildwood were think that the only way to take the salt farms was to push into there base that was supplying them, we were thinking it would take at least another 2 to 3 days for that, but I am glad we were wrong good job out there and lets take the rest of the hex together.
Glad we cut that logi road off! And yes let’s get it! Warden weekend!
Another falls to the consummate urge to be helpful, welcome to builder purgatory.
1. Yeah, stick to push bunkers. BIg meta bunkers can be not just a lot of effort, but a lot of commitment to build, maintain, and qrf (which seems to not be your style) so if you want to experience it as a more casual player you'll want to poke around with a regi that has offered to have you along for the ride. Observation bunkers can be a smaller scale project for advanced bunkers if you want to mess around with t3 stuff, and are overall very educational.
2. I like to stockpile a full private stockpile of bmats nearby (make sure to pick a front that's actually likely to push to make your stockpile), and if possible, a few ACVs, flatbeds, and emplaced guns. Just bmats is fine enough, just something to keep you from guzzling everything from the front. 300c is a bit overkill but sometimes it's not and you can always just deliver or release the leftovers.
3. Things to worry about when placing your bunker base:
-Make the core harder for infantry to hit with an MG from the front.
-Make sure tanks can't mow down people spawning in the bunker without a heavy flank.
-Make sure friendly logi doesn't naturally park in the spot where friendly infantry run out of.
-Have the minimum 5 pieces + 1 core piece, at least for t2 bunkers; t3 lets you do some funky stuff but with t2 you'll hurt the repair efficiency of the bunker and make it a bigger target for arty. Make sure to put garrison modifications in the bunker core (4 of them, which you can place along the walls). I suggest an egg shaped core with the bunker exit facing the road, it's bog standard for a reason.
4. Once the bunker base is up and the pieces are up to t2, cry for starter kit logi and for people to set their spawns.
5. Then, worry about extra defenses. They come in a few different flavors:
-Pillboxes are quick to set up and require very little thought, slap a few up to protect everybody while you work on other things. Alternating MG+AT pill lines are a good way to provide some bare minimum defense, but it'll get vaporized by arty and can get flanked easily, so rifle pills are still nice to mix in and scatter all over the place.
-Trenches are your #2 priority. Chances are somebody else will have already dug a few while you made the pillboxes, but you can either fill them in or work off of them. Barbed wire is super handy here, and sandbags as well (but a bit less so), though unfortunately logi will usually be swamped with more important requests. I find the trenches shaped like |/\| with the two connectors in the middle to be the easiest good trench to spam out, but anything that isn't too big, too small, or easy to mow down will suffice. Make sure the connectors aren't too angled to keep people going in opposite directions from bumping into each other. Ramps in the back of your trench can deny the enemy firing spots if sandbags aren't available. Try not to dig too many trenches or they'll become a great place for enemy infantry to ambush your tanks whenever you push up. Also, don't upgrade them, it only gives a small amount more health (and makes them hard to remove later), though protection from mud is nice in the rain. Reinforcement trenches (basically a zig-zag moving forwards) can help your boys get further along more easily without getting shelled or shot.
-After some trenchworks are up, if your push still hasn't moved up enough to warrant a new bunker, you can start on infantry garrisons, which will give cutlers and lunaires a bit harder of a time than pillboxes. Put them a bit away from the bunker core (because artillery), and optimally protecting a trench; if your pillboxes are still up you can place them right behind the pills. Keep your bunkers small and simple (at most like 7 pieces in the form of a Pi bunker, but mostly more like the usual 3 piece 1x3 spam or 4 piece Y spam, which will be much easier to repair and rebuild). Load MG bunkers where you can (especially on roadside pieces), as they have more range and can more easily kill a cutler/lunaire user before they get out of range. That said, ensure your entire line won't break open and get flanked from a few pieces dying, so rifle garrisons are essential as well. When you can, remember your engine rooms or you'll get pve'd at night, but for a push bunker they're a bit less important. There's a lot of bunker designs and names out there; I'll advocate for the BUILD discord (which is colonial but has guides and resources available to the unverified public) for listing them.
-At some point you may amass quite the following of people helping you build or dig, especially you thanks to your fame. In that case focus on starting up new trenches and bunkers for your shovel+hammer horde, and if you get too overwhelmed trying to think things through before the horde insta-digs everything behind you, get somebody who looks like they know what they're doing to break off and work on a different part of the defenses to take some of the horde with them. It's important to keep helpers behind what you're designing because fully dug bunkers and trenches have different hitboxes to the undug variants, which can make placing things annoying if the previous trenches are already dug.
6. After bunkers are made, you've about reached the limits of a push bunker. Import emplaced guns for your trenches, spam barbed wire and mines, shore up weakspots, set up artillery positions, or say goodbye to it and go to bed. You'll be fighting over its ruins by tomorrow if the push wasn't successful, and if it was you'll get to drive by what remains for a few days while supplying logi to the front, until it decays and returns to the earth.
If you read this veritable essay of a comment, thanks for sticking around, I hope it helps on your journey of Sisyphean suffering that is the builder's life.

Thanks for all this information! Copying it down so I can study it and learn from it!
Appreciate you taking the time to write this up! o7
I miss you Robert. Can't wait to see you Colonial again!
I should be back on the Colonial side for war 116!
I was there, trying to keep our guys alive as a medic. Battle lasted for many days, but alas, we was pushed out. Thanks everyone, it was fun
Nicely done! GGs! Was a fun fight!
we got less tanks too and we can barely repair them.
Killed 4 tanks west of that bunker y’all popped just days before this video posted. That road was hell for logi
Nice! And yes it was! Easy road to partisan. GGs!
@@RobertLovesGames It was actually a fun fight too, every night, random infantry would run up, every day 6-8 tanks would roll up.
the sound of fire rockets gives me nightmares
Same! They are terrifying!
I haven’t played foxholes in a while, but the sounds are amazing. I really gotta get into playing again.
Nice! Everyone needs to take breaks from time to time! New war will probably start this next Monday and it will be an update war. Might be a good one to join!
0:59 I was in that LTD as the Gunner who jumped out to check binos. Fun times
Wow good spot! Always impressed when people can spot themselves in my videos. Especially in the cinematic view.
GGs!
Wardens definitely showed up to fight this war, and this one is doing numbers on my sanity
lol! Was a fun fight! GGs!
As scroper I love to see Bmats being used, it gives me purpose.
Oh trust me I am transporting all your bmats! Any time that refinery is near max I'm moving them some place. Any time a base is low I am out getting bmats. That has to be the number one item I keep track of across the map. Thank you for scrooping! It helps a lot! o7
I haven't retired from the game hahaha. But thank for the inf support and repairs Robert! ❤
Ha! Good to hear! And any time!
I was there always sneaking some logi through some gaps
Ha! Nicely done!
Same
At 5:30 we see the strongest trench design
lol! I was wondering if someone would call that one out ha!
Sadly I haven’t been able to play much this war bc of personal complications but I’m happy the wardens have started winning
Sorry to hear that! Hope things get better soon! o7
@@RobertLovesGames Me too XD
[27th] Truth here - I spent the whole battle doing behind-the-scenes work; clearing the roads of abandoned vehicles, making and supplying MSupps, and building flank defenses. I'm very proud of what we at the 27th have accomplished!
I saw you couple times when I went back for logi! Great work! 27th has been doing great in the Deadlands! Was a fun hex to fight in!
Glorious idea to ""fix"" the gameplay loop of builders, the higher rank you are the longer you can hold lmb to ""charge"" a hammer with more bmats
lol! I'm for it!
Frontline building is ..... interesting i think theres a 3 hr recording of me doing a building class for caf from like 2 years ago.
I think I saw that same video and have it on my list of things to watch. I think I have been slowly getting better and learning more.
@RobertLovesGames well if you ever need some pointers just give me a holler lol
Will do! Thank you!
was there on the collie side, my first day on the game since getting it on the summer sale, was a blast even if we lost it
Awesome to hear! Sometimes losing can be some of the best battles as you make last stands.
Feel free to DM me on discord if you have any questions about the game or need help with anything!
@@RobertLovesGames was great fun, thank you
Bro, after the update, all the clans poured in and the last concrete was poured out by new players who bought the game on sale. If no one had poured in, there would have been bimats and shirts
Lots of new players around! Teach them how to play so they are ready for the next war!
WD-40 Bingus here I was in the HTD sadly the terrain is very hard for us to maneuver plus infantry using those crater as a cover create this stalemate but hey at least it was fun!
Yes! That is a tough spot for tanks so I get it! Glad we switched the fight to the west side! GGs!
robert builds a bunker would be good vid, will help tech deployment
Oof catching the builder bug huh? As a builder you have my sympathy.
I think I am! Is this the first step before I spiral into insanity? lol
@@RobertLovesGames if you fully get the bug then yeah insanity will follow shortly. Stay away from making regimental sized bases and you'll be fine(ish). Keep in mind all bases die sooner or later don't let it discourage you from building another one if the one you build dies to something dumb. Oh and dying to the enemy is better then it dying to decay.
The Pits is the actual definition of Foxhole
aha, get it?
Ha! I wanted to make this joke so bad in the video but I refrained myself. Glad we thought the same thing!
@@RobertLovesGames go ahead an make some puns in your other videos. im sure nobody would mind
did you not commend that legendary medic in the middle of the video? he had earned it
Maybe not? If i didn't it was because I was out of commends. I haven't been doing much factory work this war. Mainly deliveries which does not give me commends to give out :(
Ask 27th builders and we would be happy to teach you.
I just might do that next war! Thanks!
It would be cool if you could fill in the holes at salt March (the balancing part being that it would take forever, like 10 to 20 or 30 times longer)
Maybe the puddles from the new update will make them little lakes ha
Oh balls, i spent a lot of time helping and building defenses and thought it might hold until we can push back into wardens guess we lost it XC. Did they at least give you guys a good fight?
( also those storm cannons are helping you guys wardens out a lot and our colonial arty crews are just non-existent)
Oh it did! Like 3-4? Days of constant fighting!
Nice job helping build that fortress! GGs!
Good place and good bunker base for a good fight, sad thing that clans on both sides just ignore it and make seal club for random warden vets. Anyway good video! Gg wp
The one on the westside was a good bunker! GGs!
please leave sableport alone, just finished my base and now we are the front LMAO gg
[CPD]
Ha! I will try my best! Good luck out there!
don't worry about bunker building in frontline, spam 1x3s in a perfect square it wont have ai for a entire day
more important is routes for the bunker base outside and hexagons with eats and starbreakers and some barbed wire trenches will resist artillery better than bunkers
That's good to know! Thanks for the tip!
Cool
Posse approves ! 😂
lol!
What is the point. Once a side has 25 victory points, not the required 32, the game is over. Yes there have been the ultra rare occasion when a side has come back from this, but for more than 100+ games it is the end. While your tanks were ‘winning’ this magnificent victory the collie logi hub guys were having jeep and tank races.
I mean if you are going to think like that why play the game? I guess it would be your choice that every war once one faction gets to 25 victory points you could just quit until the next war.
I personally don't like to think that way. Would make the game less fun to play. Plus some of the best battles and best times I've had in game is being on the losing side and doing last stands in big cities or getting desperate supplies to a base to hold on a little longer. You do you though. To each their own.
❤
wanted to join from start but queue alway 15+ so i spawn to the south and hold it
From home region in this video Deadlands was at 18 person que. I got that flatbed full of bmats and instantly got in. Sometimes bringing logi to the hex can make you skip those big ques which helps a lot!
Nice work holding the south!
Hey I bought the game like I said, but why does it feel like my bullets almost never go where I need them?
Yep! Shooting in this game is not like other shooting games. I myself don't have tutorials on it but I would recommend searching on youtube "foxhole aiming" and watch some guides.
