OPERATION FURY IV
It's this Sunday, March 8, 2020 starting at 1:00 PM EST (6:00 PM GMT). The event will last 3 to 5 hours and you will see most Rats in-game for some part or all of the event. We will have Kill-A-Rat turned on and we will recognize the top 3 Rat killers in next week's Community and News posting.
More importantly is the event itself. This is combined arms action with high command AND players leading their side in battle. We will have dedicated Discord channels for voice comms. The links for Discord are posted below. If you can make it Sunday, please sign up in advance!
38 steam players already signed up and if you decide last minute to join the operation that's ok too. There will be plenty of direction to the general player base through .Axis or .Allied chat messages. Get in-game whenever you can on Sunday!!
Campaign #171
Campaign #171 just reached the day 40 milestone. So many battles in this campaign have been long and intense. Although the Axis forces are pushing to the French factories, the Allies have not given up. They continue to defend valiantly and force the Axis to fight and claw for every inch they advance. See messages below from the Axis Campaign Commander Eyeshank and the Allied Commander in Chief for the Allies Justinrot.

ALLIED REPORT:
Allied Force have been working great together bring fms, tanks with air support. We took lumbres while gravelines was p1... took it easily....tried avricourt right after lumbres.....they were better prepared with their defense. The Germans tried to head to ramsgate with battleship. Allies RAF were sent out to scan for the battleships. We had 5 aircrafts up in the sky with 4 of ours ships scanning for them. But no sighting of them. The ews went off after 10 mins of looking for the germans ships. Last night the Germans retook Lumbres
And Gravelines back . As the Current battle for tonight allied re AO Lumbres and Saulty so moving attacks waiting for our armor and fms to make it into town. Calling for some RAF air support. The allied forces are not giving up we will keep on fight the German till we cant anymore.
