Job Well Done! _____________________________________________________________ Filace’s aerial bombing of the Central Radar Station in retaliation for Briolui’s seizure of the facility has caused a rapid buildup of forces on both sides. Countries in Studica are activating their reserve and inactive units in preparation for the unexpected. The COAC believes an invasion from Briolui to be imminent with the capture of several spies and recon teams, but they don’t know where it will occur. Briolui and its regional RON allies have stepped up their intelligence gathering in Filace and other COAC countries. With the recent hostilities between the RON and COAC reaching an all time high, countries on both sides have put their military forces on high alert and called most of their citizens home. Campaign Guidelines Countries that are part of the COAC are to build MOCs depicting their side digging in and preparing for an invasion. Research what countries have done in recent conflicts to prepare for invading forces. Though not always directly in the crosshairs, nations may do certain things to prepare for war. Countries in the RON are to build MOCs depicting their side mobilizing offensive forces and preparing to support an offensive campaign. Research what countries have done to prepare for an invasion in modern times. The first Gulf War is a great example. The Coalition that liberated Kuwait was comprised of over 20 nations, not all of them were involved in the assault. All builds must be posted as a new topic in the “Great Brick War” subforum, the title prefixed by, "(GBW- CP1)" followed by the Country you’re representing, and then your MOC’s Title. Example "(GBW- CP1) Filace - Fueling up the Jets") Being that this is the first campaign, a strong emphasis should be placed on depicting your country in a unique form (Geography, Culture, Military Equipment, ETC.) The more original and in depth your depiction is, the more points you can earn. Be sure to include a Map Listing Name and Grid based on the maps we've created. There is no minimum or maximum size requirement for this build. All builds must be new MOC’s and not prior builds. Photo Editing is to be kept to a minimum with only real edits of lighting and color correction. No special effects. Players may crop one picture of their MOC onto a background picture to help with their landscape if they’d like. This is not allowed for LDD. Pictures cannot be bigger than 800x600 Players may post a link to an offsite host such as Flickr where a Higher Res pics are located. Be cool and share your photos in the GBW Flickr Group! Please refer to the General Rules Topic for limitations based on your Point Level. Upon completion, players must also post a link to their build in the AAR Thread as well letting the judges know that it is eligible for scoring. Campaign Duration 3/17/17 - 4/17/17 All builds will not be finalized until the closing date for the campaign. Players can edit their posts up until that point. As long as it is 4/17/17 somewhere in the world, you can submit. Use this as a deadline https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/usa/baker-island The Outcome The winning team will be given a choice to attack or defend in the next campaign All players who participate will be awarded the points they earn for each build. All players who participate in the first build will be deemed GBW Pathfinders and will earn this tag ANY QUESTIONS or COMMENTS ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN SHOULD BE POSTED HERE.
