July 10th
Current status:
We are at war with the traitors in the south.
We are currently in the lead in this war, by an unknown margin.
Our victories have not come without cost - Several tank battalions have had to flee for replacement tanks, and most of our airforce awaits repairs and replacement planes. The remainder is being held back for any targets of opportunity with no AA cover.
Little land has changed hands, as their heavily-defended capital is very close to the border.
Analysis: We should hold back as our airforce returns to full strength while shelling their capital with artillery. Sheb and EuchreJack will lead elite strike teams behind enemy lines to harass their reinforcement battalions.
Warning: Shelling the military forces stationed in Seoul will reduce their population, and greatly damage any usable buildings. The gains from the war will decrease, and we will have to pay large sums of wealth to repair any captured buildings. Continue (y/n)?

All spies, stationed at various points around Seoul to relay artillery targeting data have simultaneously stopped responding, and are believed to have been captured. Commencing untargeted shelling.
We have completed negotiations with Venezuela, selling several battalions worth of obsolete anti-helicopter guns for slightly over $500 million. Attempts have been made to balance the budget while increasing military spending.
July 14th
They have begun forming their own battle line. Our elite forces have nearly reached the frontlines.
July 18th
A brief sortie was sufficient to send their line back to their cities. When a tank battalion was sent to scout one of the towns bordering Seoul, their airforce was scrambled. Our AA batteries were quickly brought into position.
July 20th
Their aircraft have broken a hole through our eastern flank, shortly before they we shot them down. Sheb and EuchreJack's elite forces will hold the gap closed until reserve tanks can be brought in.
On the western flank, long-ranged MLRS fire is harming our artillery greatly from outside their range. We cannot fall back, lest an important military installation be lost to us. The fortress near the MLRS will have to be assaulted immediately. Air support will be withheld from this vital mission.
The budget has been balanced, thanks to the unyielding support of our patriotic citizens. The consumer goods factory is complete, and should further help our budget. A new one has been started.
July 22nd
Western Siberia declared war. Peace negotiations are under way.
The main assault is taking longer then expected. Tank battalions that have completed repairs are being returned to the front.
((Not much of an update today, but it's better then nothing.
No pictures due to the lack of territory changing hands.))
