Edna Welthorpe: Invasion of Romania Crushed

[Edna Welthorpe]

The population of Romania has tripled from around thirty to nearly a hundred but the natives aren’t looking to cash in on a bumper tourist season. The visitors weren’t looking for mementoes of a stay in Eastern Europe they were slugging it out for the future of the region.

A small scale contest, conducted in manly silence, between a few GLA region defenders under Claude Monet and the forces of Evility under the Winged Fury exploded when region defenders started pouring in to Romania and thwacking Evility like a piñata stuffed with low-fat candy goodness.

The Winged Fury and seventeen persons of hench were ejected into the Kandarin’s domain after Saturday’s update leaving over forty defenders to party on the shores of the Black Sea.

The defenders ranged from usual GLA players to Arnarchotopia the ex-Delegate of Urbanites and the peoples of Belgium, 10000 Islands, the Rejected Realms Army, and the Pacific Diaspora.

This was a staggering mismatch of strength and should provide some thought for invaders and region defenders alike.

The following is from the Evility boards:

My evil brothers and sisters,
Unfortunately Evility was not able to defeat the GLA, PA, RRA, and 10000 islands. They just were too many for our brave soldiers. Still we benefited from the invasion. I have been contacted by some mighty fellow region crashers who are interested in forming an alliance. Also we have found out how many active soldier nations we have. Right now we will keep it low and concentrate on building up a larger army. Our brave friends will return soon so welcome them back with the respect and the evilness they deserve!
Thank you for all who supported us there and here in spirit!

Have an evil day
BeelZe, Extremely Evil Emperor of Endier
UN Delegate
Evility

I hope to have some comment soon from the invaders, defenders, and the native delegate Pitzi.

Claude Monet (slightly better known as Free4All) the triumphant temporary delegate gave me the following statement.

"The invaders lost 43-17 because they made grave errors in planning, control/discipline, execution, and follow-through. Pulling off a large invasion as attempted here requires a lot more than mere numbers (which they actually had enough of initially). Our side had this huge victory because not only do we have the numbers to make it possible, together with our honourable allies we've shown the ability to react swiftly, well-controlled, and hence decisively. "

Whilst the GLA seems to have disappeared defensive operations actually seem on the rise. There does though seem to be gradual improvement in the numbers of invaders if not in the discipline.

With the days of mass multi assaults behind us, and Franco’s reign in the pacific having loosed a grumpy Pacific Army on the world invaders have yet increased their activities and variety. They're out there, they’re watching, they’re hungry, and sooner or later they’ll start winning again.

It looks like yet more work for the moderators and a greater incentive to shoot strangers and shut the gates. Lock up your daughters and prepare to get the telegram autographs of NationStates celebrities as they invade, counter invade, and liberate your regions.
