Yooo!!! Was fun teaching you and hanging out in game last night! Hope the front went well for you after our logi adventure! And hopefully I was half way decent teacher ha. DM me any time in game or in discord if you need anything! Cheers!

I took part in that battle. I'm glad the fortress held out and even broke the siege. More importantly, thank you for suggesting that if you're not sure what to do in such a situation, see who needs help like with Arty or just build defenses.
I had never fought in there before so it was really fun! Glad we pushed out in the end. And no problem! Make sure to mix it up! Forward bunkers always need builders and people to help load cannons. Always just approach a person or group and ask if they need help with anything. You get better response asking people directly rather than just typing in region chat.
Man, dipped my toes into tank production this war, LOVED IT! I made 10 Spathas solo early in the war and shipped them to Tine (with ammo as well). We took Brodytown in Reaching with over 10 Colonial tanks, most of them mine, freaking loved it.
7:30 so you met Hadrada, I believe he will become living legend, I remember him about two weeks ago, a random SSgt with chad voice defending Fort Duncan in Linn Of Mercy, some time later helping our push in Tine as OCdt, and chatting with our defenders in Mudhole, then when things were going down at Farranac Coast he, Lt, keeping our tanks fueled. And from what I see he kept fighting to the end, now as 2Lt. This man will be Major in 2 months.
Agreed! He actually showed up two more times in this weeks community highlights as well! Love his larping or just way he talks with people in Foxhole! It's amazing! Hope to see him around a lot more!
the people who tapped ash town were the same who taped the vp in kings cage. the op leader being kiwi who seemed to have scouted out the route and planned it for long time
i joined the war after the charlie merge, when the collies had been pushed back from cuttail but it looked like their victory was still just a matter of time. I immediately spawned at basinhome during low pop hours to defend the MPF hex against persistent collie assaults. Moved to Isawa during the siege of Tine. I will not speak of the horrors I witnessed on those eastern islands. I was at Sotto bank when we finally broke it. Facing the cliffs of that natural fortress was intimidating to say the least and the Collies pulled every dirty trick you can find in the depths of reddit to defend them. But our tankers, infantry and logi were patient and determined until we finally cracked the final defensive points and burned everything in the hex behind it to the ground. The loss of Isawa and one of our MPFs were low points, either could have been a killing blow to the war effort. The desperate but successful defence of our nuke at the Latch and the resulting damage to enemy morale, more then their logistics, helped create an emotional rollercoaster. After we advanced through the moors and were within striking range of two collie midline refineries I did a bit of frontlining and noticed that every front was desperate for bmats. Which was unsurprising since our closest refinery was still basin sionnach, three or more hexes away. We desperately needed to take one of those refineries before the collies rallied their forces and started punishing us for our overstretched logi lines so my new mission was to supply bmats to the front until that objective was achieved. I ended up near the siege of Buckler sound with a full containerload ready to truck to the frontline bunker, which was moments from falling to artillery with zero bmats for repairs. They burned through my stock as fast as I could deliver them and only as I ran out did other logi start arriving. Buckler sound, my homeland in many ways, was liberated a few hours later. There were so many amazing moments in this war. The raid on Longstone and blasting the fleet at harbour there was epic. During that operation I was with some regimates on our sub's shakedown cruise and we decided to sneak in to westgate bay and try to surprise the DD that was defending the fleet with its artillery. Passing a fat stack of four or five large ships anchored near the drydock west of the seaport, we were surprised by a Bluefin weighing anchor right next to us and backing it's rear on to our conning tower as it attempted to escape the infantry and tanks that were shooting at anything they could reach from the shore. 10 torpedoes later it was cosplaying a new reef and we were empty and ready to run away, but failed to do so fast enough to escape the DD we'd been hunting which was now a little bit angry at us. Worth it. The collies fought smart and hard and it was a huge effort to dig ourselves out of the hole they put us in.
Ha those islands on the east look like they got beat up constantly by the Collies. I thought about going over there couple of times but never made it. Sounds like you had a great war! Thanks for sharing all those different stories. I always love to hear what is going on at other points on the map as I normally stay in the same areas all war. Glad you all dug yourself out of the hole to make this a really great war! I do wish us Collies would have had a bit more resistance but it was still really fun! GGs! Thanks again for sharing all that!
At the start of this war, one of my regiments told me to meet him in the heartlands because we were going to go on a trip. We moved from the heartlands up into Linn of Mercy because he said he said. He saw a small sliver of green in reaching Trails that was off the main road in the middle of nowhere. A bunker base spawned. So we set up an outpost and land of Mercy and we're trucking stuff from the heartlands to Linn Mercy. Then to the Moors onwards towards reaching trails to this little Outpost. We later got told by the group operating The Outpost AKA bunker base. That they didn't need any more supplies but if we could help them get troops to use it up because they felt we were going to lose this front at any moment. That's when the war turned in our favor and we took most of reaching Trails. Granted we didn't hold it for long, but the parts that we did hold were some of the greatest battles of all times for me. We did backtrack into the Moors and then eventually into other areas of the map as they pushed us out later in the war. I just like to say that I helped start the push going early on in the war with just me in a regiment mate who helped supply a little bunker that could .
I was mostly around during the start of the war, and I remember most clearly a bit of a scrap at Privateer’s Bounty near the Bilge; we had a fun little infantry fight to hold the bridge and eventually managed to detonate it; this was after a major Saturday push that didn’t go so well and saw us chased out of Breakwater about two weeks into the war, I think. Anyways, we blasted the bridges, a few reliable chaps were planning to stay on watch so I figured all was well and decided to scroop for a bit, got to see the Saltbrook impound lot and the party bus salesman on my way north, when lo and behold the alarm rings out: flame tank and a lot of infantry at the same bloody bridge! I was going to meet up with a friend in a 30mm scout tank but he lost it on the way there, luckily I’d remembered seeing a Devitt at Fort Rictus and asked if he was waiting for a gunner. So keep in mind we barely know what’s going on, it’s night time, the crossroads have burnt down and are in enemy hands, and there’s all sorts of hidey holes for infantry to sneak around us. We end up gunning it across the top of the crossroads to try and pull attention east, away from the nearest world spawn (Fort Rictus on the western side of the crossroads) and this turned out to be a great decision. A bunker base was up there guarding the railway bridge, and many friendly infantry were there, ready to support us. Coming down the road, we ambushed a captured scout tank, and managed to surprise a collie scouting force heading west, driving off their armor and giving room for the infantry to retake our bunkers and trenches. We parked ourselves in that crossroads and dared the collies to come and take it, buying enough time for a friendly scout tank and some push guns to reinforce us. The fight moved to the bridge as the sun rose, with the push gun and our Devitt dealing great damage, and eventually the colonial push ended. Another attack came in on Scuttletown, however, and we responded to find scattered infantry retreating to their barges, and chased a light tank back west literally all the way to the region border, amusing banter exchanged by both sides. There’s more to this fight that I’m sure I’ve forgotten, especially Scuttletown, but I had the greatest rando driver I could’ve asked for, and that fighting at the crossroads felt like something out of a movie; we were sorely outnumbered and managed to carry the day through sheer aggression and the confusion of our enemies.
Love to hear detailed stories like this! Thanks for sharing that! Sounds like you did some serious work on the frontline! Love that you had a rando driver as well! Love random pick up groups with random players that go well. Had this last night with random partisan group by Tomb. Thanks again for sharing that!
Man, this war i was churning out public bmats and emats out of GWD like hell, especially during the battle at Basin. I really tough we were going to loose that one but god damn did we held strong. Tine especially was the worse meatgrinder i've seen in this game. Frankly, that's a war that will stay in memories.
you have any final thoughts on the whole war? I played warden. I was there when it looked like we were going to lose so it felt really good when the tides started turning in our favor I agree that being on the back foot feels great at times. makes it seem like any helpful thing you do keeps your side from teetering into collapse
I loved it! I'm the insane person that likes really long wars and love seeing comebacks. I wish us Collies would have had a bit more resistance when the push came back our way. I want to see another war this long before having any opinions on the current state of nukes. Need to see them in this kind of volume in another war. Overall I had a lot of fun and seems like a lot of others did as well which is the important part! I'm not a fan that next war is already starting tomorrow. Should have been like Monday or something ha.
It was a blast of a war! Bit of a shame the Collies broke so fast but I can’t really blame them, I just wish I’d gotten in on the Western front later in the war, spent most of it breaking my teeth on the Fingers and shoving a wedge into Reaver’s Pass, haha! I hear the subs had a really good time in Terminus, apparently.
It’s a ton of fun to see the colonial side of this event, I only came in on the last few days but all I kept hearing was how long some of the guys were there fighting.
Agreed! Always love seeing what the other side is up to and their attacks and what not. Are you new to Foxhole? If so welcome! Let me know if you have any questions and feel free to DM me in Discord any time!
@@RobertLovesGames technically I’ve been on for a couple wars now, but I’ve mostly run infantry/marine, medical or mortar teams. I feel like I’d be into Logi but I just haven’t given it the time.
I was fighting in that battle yesterday, it’s so cool how close we may have been too each other! It’s a small world! I was mainly fighting on the southern front (I was a colonial btw)
I had great fun at the very long battle for turncoat, lots of good back and forth fighting. Also was part of an operation which was a lightening fast raid to destroy two storm cannons near thunderbolt, around the time the tide turned and the Warden offensive started.
@@RobertLovesGames It was crazy at turncoat right before the nuke fell on the relic, but we had two solid T3 bunkers outside the radius that let us keep fighting on. Yes! Someone had spotted a weak spot in the defences so we sailed in with 6 barges loaded up with cutler RPG kits. I was one of the pilots and supporting medics. Was crazy watching 25+ cutlers going off at the same time.
Well I have been wondering about broken components. Every factory that turns them into regular components seems to be private. So I've been wondering, is it worth the effort to build and maintain your own factory as a solo logi player for that purpose?
@@Tuck213 It would be best to ask in region chat or world chat if someone has public place for broken components. Otherwise you will need to grab a hammer and get your own components from field. I would say it's not worth it to solo a facility. Unless you really really love it and don't mind. You should just try to work with others. Or like I mentioned before skip the broken components and just get the regular components from the fields. Let me know if you have any other questions!
I was on the southern flank for this war as warden fighting in Shackled and Allods. I noted that most of the fighting this war was concentrated in the north with comparatively little in the centre and south. Speaking Woods front was almost always queued but other fronts were usually med pop, sometimes high. I’d like to know what overall player numbers were like this war compared to others.
Yea I went to the south a few times during the war and honestly not much was going on it seemed. Was a lot more fights in the north for sure. I would always love to see the player numbers as well! GGs!
I played on the warden side this war. heartlands and greatmarch were defended by way too few players so we just rolled through there, but barronhome was a good battle. The Collies played well using the terrain of barronhome. I ran logi, played infantry and as tank crew. Hope i get to fight more cool battles like this in future wars ^^
Im destroyed Colonial OB base and planing path to Origin WP and John organized operation. Its surprising how Colonials had no def at all on WP like Ashtown, Longstone, Sitaria and finally Teichotima.
We were partying already after the taping of Origin. While you were still fighting, we were at Callahan's statue celebrating our victory bringing captured collie tanks and destroying them in front of him@@RobertLovesGames
Ha I only mentioned the Origin tap because it was relevant to us losing right at the end while we were still defending. The Ashtown tap was amazing as well! I actually logged on to clean Ashtown up after everything happened. I would love to be apart of one of those ops one day!
Good fight! I'm curious how the last 5 days of the war felt on the collie side. As a warden is was hard to keep up with front logi-wise. We were building rail as fast as we could at the end there to keep up.
GGs! We had some low morale in Collie chat the last couple of days but a lot of people were still hard at work so I just ignored world chat mainly ha. I bet front logi was really hard especially with those nukes!
Best moment was that after endless tank battles in Firstmarch (so many components were lost by both sides) we finally took Vanguard…. Only to lose it next day because nobody cared to build any proper defence. And i really glad that FSF stood untill the end. Also i guess both sides got this Preston Garvey from Fallout 4 vibe with "TiNe in SpEakinG WoOdS iS unDer aTtaCk!"
Took part in the last stand of barrenhome. I and one rando got the honour to be one of the first to breakout of barrenhome in a tankette (gate opened and encouraged by Knight, the ceo of tankette by himself o7) Too bad we didnt live for too long when we got hugged by an outlaw and a chieftan 5 minutes after
Holding the finger, altough maybe not that usefull, was a real gigachad moove. For use it was a major inconvenience preventing us from securing our eastern sea. We we always wearry that you would naval land behind our lines because we had no coastal defences in a lot of places. Investing in the sea even a bit more could actually have allowed you to push pass our strongholds on the south near to the coast. More than that, holding on the fingers when it was cut of often from your main territories was an insult to our integrity and honor so GG
Been playing too much Helldivers 2 since it came out. Kind of feel guilty for putting Foxhole aside & losing the war. But either way, Good game & well played to both sides
o7 Colliebro I took part mostly as a Sniper for the Wardens this battle. probably died at least 15 times to artillery, made a joke that the collie arty was rmat seeking.
I certainly don't recommend sniper only XD should be more opportunistic, but it is a excellent support weapon that helps spice up a battle. Dont think you're getting much kills unless you have a sniper buddy, the main thing is harassing the enemy and denying them areas which would otherwise be considered safe spaces due to typical weapon ranges. PS: take a 2nd rifle for night fighting, and remember that your sniper rifle is your expensive baby and should be recovered whenever possible.
its the BF5 White Ash Flask Grenade or just Flask. its the warden anti-tank impact grenade. the colonials use the ignifist as their faction specific cheap anti tank weapon
I stopped by after dropping off H oil for bts picked up a flame thrower hoping to get to the safe house.... some unlucky infantry decided to get in flamer range plus side im no longer over encumbered
As a warden loyalist i like to see the colonials perspective just for fun, Yall fought bravely gg Is crazy to imagine me and my regiment drove a train all the way from basin to Heatlands just for the war to end before we even fired a gun lol
Always cool to see the other prospective! Would have loved to see the side of the Wardens attacking us! Oh no! Next war you will get to put one in action for sure!
I don't know much about it so I don't think I could do any video on it unfortunately. Unless you or someone has all the information on it feel free to DM me in discord everything you know about it!
@@Agent57_ I actually mainly play Wardens. I normally play about 10 wars in row as Wardens then come to Collies for 1-2 wars. I'll be doing Collie for 111 and then update war for 112 probably then back to Wardens most likely.
I think we would have lost the war as warden if it was not for alot of charlie players joining at the worst time ever. I was supplying/def calahans gate alot until we lost it...and then went to fox catcher doing 5 hours days only building public B-mats for a few days, I like to think that helped alot aswell
Perhaps! Was interesting when the tide shifted. And it shifted hard. That I would say is the only thing I didn't quite like. Is how it all crumbled so quickly. I would have liked us Collies to have had little more resistance. Was still fun though!
Was part of CL trying to defend that front, it was tough grueling at times, everyone worked hard...despite us at one time getting over zealous and popping 6 bobbers at once. But ehh GG everyone we never got pushed out of our original hex
@@RobertLovesGames Not really used, Chieftans and tanks did the work we came with barges and CV on freighter, I did bring SPG on freighter for the meme to shell any QRF colies comming for the city.
I'd commend my medics if I ever had commends to give out! Also being on the losing side can be really fun unless you're losing so badly that's there's just no chance at all and it's just a complete steamroll. That's never fun
Go to the back and craft some equipment! I can get like 20-30 commends to give out in like 30-45 minutes. Look for backline refineries with lots of bmats by factory. Islands normally have a lot of bmats and at least the one factory. True! It was a semi steamroll over the last week but the battle itself felt great! It would not have been good if they just rushed in and killed us all ha
