The “New” Winter War
As you know, we are at war with the Pirate Army and we’ve had some great victories and some tough losses. The Pirates are a sizable army with big numbers fighting in these battles while ACP, still trying to rebuild, has fewer troops. Don’t fret, we may be temporarily smaller, but we fight long and hard with the power of a thousand troops, just like the Winter War!!
For those who have never heard of the Winter War, it was a was fought between the Soviet Union and Finland in the late 1930s, ending in 1940. The Soviet Union believed it’s massive Red Army of approximately 700,000 men would simply and quickly roll over Finland’s smaller forces of 350,000, half of the Soviet’s. The Fins, being outnumbered, fought fiercely and bravely because they were fighting for the one thing that meant the most to them, the right to keep their amazing country. The Fins used crowbars and logs to stop tanks, Molotov cocktails, and snow-camouflage to make their brave ski soldiers nearly invisible in the snow. They were smart and used guerrilla attacks against the Soviets. They may have been small and outnumbered, but the gave it everything they had and never gave up. By 1940, the Soviets, twice the size of the Fins and arrogant about how easily they’d crush the Fins in the beginning, gave up and pulled out of Finland. The Fins kept their country and their self-rule.
We are in the “new” Winter War, ACP with Pirates. ACP, are you willing to give everything you’ve got and fight hard for the Democratic Republic of ACP, DRACP? We need you, we need all of you. We need you pumped up and ready for battle. The Pirates thus far have been bigger, but we have excellent formations and some creative, amazing tactics up our sleeves. What we are lacking are numbers of participants and YOU can change that. You may think you are only one soldier, that if you didn’t participate it would not be a big deal, but what if everyone thought that?
WE ALL MATTER. YOU MATTER.
So just as the Fins fought bravely and true for what they believed in and the glorious country they lived in, ACP shall fight just as bravely and true for our servers in the DRACP!
See everyone Saturday with your game faces on!
Just as we have fought,
So many times before,
ACP shall win,
The “new” Winter War!
