And once again it was the time for Mpire to prove that they can rise from the ashes of their wartorn territory. And as pink forces, already declared as dead meat, began to march into the heart of Echelon once again, everyone should see that poking the cat isn’t always fun.

At first, I think I should apologize for the lack of AvA reports the last week. Due to a lot of work and not the most of motivation, I just couldn’t pull off enough time to write something up. Can’t promise that things will change in the near future, but I’ll do my very best. I think I owe you guys this in return for the awesome lot of good feedback on this blog. Echelon ftw!

I think there would’ve been a lot to write about the last week with Mpire being incomparable successful at regaining their territory. During the whole campaign, they had Euro supporting them indirectly, but nonetheless, they managed to take the central base from Thong and besiege RebeL to the day.

Along with Mpires campaign to take their bloody revenge on anyone who stabbed them in their sleep, smaller or less active alliances made their appearance once again on Echelon while others vanished as quick as their appeared during the course of the last week. While the Sleepers are completely gone again, Supremacy  took their chunk of territory where once Kmd. resided. Sydo made several appearances in the north and the west of the map, taking advantage of the ongoing fights between Mpire and RebeL.

Even the Americans showed up under the label of JL, reserving them a nice and sunny place above Euro territory.

Thong, after completely beaten out off the center of the map, concentrated their efforts on Euro again, who seemed to be the biggest disturbance for the blue troops when they tried to get hold of their own base, be it the eastern or the central one. Interesting enough, they bit a good chunk of flesh out of Euros body, coming to a halt right at the doorsteps of the eastern base. One may speculate if they are going for more in the next days of Echelon AvA.

While everyone had their nice and small fights against each other, Mpire and RebeL proved themselves once again as childrens of the atom, as the true priests of war, leaving nothing behind but the scorched earth and burned bodies of the enemies and their land.

When Mpire captured hexes all around the the Vale, it was fairly obvious that a missile facility would be set up tonight. And so the tactical missiles launched once again, emitting sweet roars of revenge as they pushed themselves high into the sky shortly before their deadly transformation into a rain of fire and death, supposed to tear the shield completely down. The air was thick from the stench of the brutal wars, fought on every hex of the Vale. The aggressive forces of the pink giant, who came to life again, rained on the southern base in a myriad of attacks and with every bit of territory the defender could secure, the green forces were able to stand their ground.

Obviously and to no surprise, the pink ones split the territory of RebeL up in two parts thus increasing their taxes but at the end of the day, they could not gain the upper hand on the base. Maybe it was a surprise for both sides, maybe not. But when the map closed today, both factions were able to look back at compelling and intense battles, valiantly fought. The question is though, if the resistance will be strong enough to keep Mpire off the southern base for good or if the green forces will give in someday. Nonetheless - brutal and ambitious fights are inevitable. Fights that deserve to reveal themselves to all of Echelon as nothing less than true bloodshed.
