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.

[@RobertLovesGames]

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!

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

[@Melonarche]

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.

[@wrcm400]

The SIlk Road deserves a video of its own. It was a feat of player made logistics.

[@TarsonTalon]

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!"

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.

[@Hellhound23691]

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!”

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.

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!

[@SoNorthitzSouth]

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

As a new player, i'm happy to have play my part as a KGG logi :D

[@pyroleornyolo102]

100% Winrate !!!!!

[@AbsentScarab]

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!

[@spicyvt679]

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.

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.

[@ngeteengetee7589]

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?

[@oj8868]

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!

[@British132.]

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.

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.

[@RobertLovesGames]

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

[@Masaka3D]

I love your video style, very clean.

[@jacobmosovich]

The longer the war the more stable the build. The devs know what theyre doing

[@Capy-bara2]

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.

[@RobertLovesGames]

Thank you! And there are probably so many epic moments I missed!

[@mango6591]

farranac coast vet here, it was brutal the entire damn time

[@RobertLovesGames]

Nice! Almost 40 days by Bone Haft! Then Wardens sweep the colonials in the last days! GGs!

[@printaboy]

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.

[@alucard3689]

Qrf! Robert uploaded!

[@Apollo_Yeet]

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‼️🔥✍️

[@RobertLovesGames]

Thank you! Glad you enjoy it! I plan to make it better each and every time :D

[@SikkeOst]

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!

[@ferrox8421]

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

[@RobertLovesGames]

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!!

[@ferrox8421]

@@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

[@RobertLovesGames]

I have it in my notes to talk about tech. But I feel it needs to connect to a story or report ya know?

[@Morose92]

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.

[@viperblitz11]

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.

[@RobertLovesGames]

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.

[@MrWaffleHouseGod]

And people say I should stop maining wardens. How about no.

[@RobertLovesGames]

lol! Praise Callahan!

[@hismajestysirkart0she4ka2nd]

Incredible! Very interesting to watch, thanks for this video Robert!

[@axmil1286]

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.

[@APennStateHistorian]

This was my second war on the warden side. What a ride

[@RobertLovesGames]

Nice! It was a good one! GGs!

[@TheTrytix]

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.

[@Melonarche]

HCNS was insane this war! Well done to you guys. Thanks a lot for repairing SNS Conclave a billion times!

[@Toyamasami]

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.

[@megabuilder3981]

Man it allmost feels like every war after eachoter is the deadliest war

[@RobertLovesGames]

We keep raising the bar!

[@robertl7334]

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.

[@loop2743]

Ill forever have flashbacks of The Fingers, and silicon Shelf

[@RobertLovesGames]

I wish I could have been at The Fingers this war! All the best battles were when I was at work lol

[@geordietyne]

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!

[@icedragon2030]

I remember people on Reddit saying that the wardens only where able to punch because of navy

[@RobertLovesGames]

Warden navy played a big role in this war!

[@Wanderer-nw2so]

@@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.

[@hemakodaaa]

i just learned of this game recently. it seems to be a 'quietly popular' game with a friendly player base who are willing to teach other. definitely going to try it out

[@RobertLovesGames]

Nice! Feel free to DM me on discord if you have any questions about the game or if you need help learning anything!

[@gabedaniel7675]

Farranac coast warden here. You can thank me for placing all the barb wire 😂

[@tobcotab]

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

[@RobertLovesGames]

That's awesome to hear! Glad to have you back out here!

[@heads7222]

LONG LIVE THE WARDEN NAVY!!! This was my first war and i joined the WN very early in my playtime. Have to say the playerbase is easily the nicest ive seen where everyone is happy to drop what they are doing to help a new player out. Still cant believe we won this :)

[@CULLROY]

Always love the reports for the wars. Great use of quotes and first hand experiences.. felt like a true war correspondent. Great work 👍👍

[@RobertLovesGames]

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!

[@CULLROY]

@RobertLovesGames it shows 👍. Excellent to see this channel evolving so much so quickly..All whilst have a new baby to look after. Amazing stuff! 👍

[@mounttai8789]

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.

[@andyderp6473]

Bro if it was guaranteed and not end up a scam I'd help crowdfund money for an animation/movie of this war. as always Robert your overviews are always great and well structure and full of story, I'll always appreciate these.

[@Myrkin]

4:14 Biomass? What are they? Tyranids? :P

[@RobertLovesGames]

Yes they are lol. They zerg the fronts!

[@RNG-esus]

Great video! I'm not a foxhole player but this looks like a lot of fun! I've only tried the game once but ended up refunding it because I couldn't understand how people were killing me way away when I couldn't even see them 😅

[@RobertLovesGames]

Thank you! And fair enough! If you ever get the game again feel free to DM me on discord and I can help you learn how to play!

[@shapuku1674]

420st VS NOD and 82DK made Clastra the deadliest hex o7 GGs wardens. We only grow in numbers

[@RobertLovesGames]

Ha! Great battle!

[@GratoniusGBE]

Citizen of the Fingers here. Hell of a war, I had deployed to the push for the warden nuke and rushed back to join the counter against the Wardens first naval invasion. Spent the rest of the war on that front. Hell of a war. Definitely a good one for me to get back into the game.

[@RustyBear]

16:08 300 is a funny name for a regiment that does such suicide ops 😄😄

[@RobertLovesGames]

lol nice! Love it!

[@TheMike91393]

Awesome recap, Robert. A cool addition would be a VP and day counter graphic.

[@RobertLovesGames]

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.

[@FinDan07]

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.

[@RobertLovesGames]

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

[@samw5644]

its mad to me that NONE Of this is scripted, its all organic and player lead. love it.

[@RobertLovesGames]

No other game quite like it :D I love it as well!

[@Soapetr394]

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!

[@RadarLeon]

Treasury is like one giant burnt out crater the entire war

[@RobertLovesGames]

For real lol! Sad I never made it over there.

[@RadarLeon]

@RobertLovesGames we fired around 14,000 fire rockets during that war over there

Damn, I wished i play more, damn school and exam ruining my fun.

That’s okay! School is way more important! Foxhole wars will always be here :D

@RobertLovesGames But fighting a massive war is a lot more fun than homework 😤
