2nd Rome Coalition War

## Backround

The new Roma, formed out of members from the Black Sun and Ginebra, came to dominate Europe after uniting to defeat the Resistance. Resistance members built up in multiple alliances, doing rivalries, however they spent some time fighting N.S.T.C. However events such as the collapse of United Asia and some skirmishes between Cascadia and Roma meant when the time came, many alliances joined in the clearing of Europe. Even N.S.T.C joined to reclaim Istanbul.

## Combat

###### **The Sakura Pact popped**

On the early morning of August 10th, 2022, Roma player AlbertRivera launched an offensive into Sakura territory, striking at the border city of Manila. This attack would cause Sakura Leader DIYSlinky to join Sakura into the coalition of alliances planning to take down Roma.

###### Roma gets popped

On August 11th, 2022, Sakura player Goodnames689 would attempt to take down the Roma border city of Dublin, believing that he would receive support from TR player DS, however it was a case of miscommunication and the border was not taken down. Later on in the day however, Roma border was popped when the city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife would be taken down prematurely by NerfNaut, causing chaos within Roma. With Roma borders gone, Goodnames was able to achieve his goal of enacting revenge on Noodles, killing two of the three unboosted Abrams maxes that were stationed in London, however the third army was withdrawn in time to avoid destruction. While the Roma borders were down, other vulnerable cities were attacked including Lyon and the return of Oi to London, and the remaining Roma border cities were scouted.

###### Battles of Lisbon and Cairo

On August 12th, 2022, New Dawn member Nash Wish (alt lol) attacked the city of Lisbon, popping Roma. This was likely due to the previous days events, when Nash Wish attacked the city of Dublin, and was then attacked by Andre in the city. The Roma city of Cairo, held by AlbertRivera, was taken down when DIYSlinky sent an order to Stonehatch to eliminate the city.

###### Fall of Roma

On the morning of August 13th, 2022, AlbertRivera, upset about the attack of Cairo the day before, set out for revenge. The Sakuran border city of Manila was once again targetted for the border pop, and Albert attacked many Sakuran city, especially targetting Sakura leader DIYSlinky. This enraged DIYSlinky, who upon finding out about the attack, began immediate war preparations for revenge himself. Even though the coalition attack was scheduled for the following day, DIYSlinky contacted Stonehatch, and they swiftly moved their camps to Europe and positioned outside of Alberts cities, ready to attack as soon as Roma border fell down. DIYSlinky moved an army to the Roma border of Dublin, taking down Roma territory, and soon after the Albert held city of Amsterdam was taken down, and the battle of Madrid began. The first army was successfully taken out by Stonehatch, however he was defeated in the following two attacks, as he believed the defense was weaker due to scans not showing lord effects. DIYSlinky finished off the second army, and Stonehatch took down the third army, taking Madrid. Albert had two more maxes in the city of Getafe, however DIYSlinky convinced him to move them to Madrid, stating that if they were going to be killed anyways, it would be better to build the monuments in Madrid. Thus, the battle of Madrid came to an end as DIYSlinky killed another 2 max defense armies in Madrid. The Battle of Madrid proved to be one of the bloodiest in the war, with 7 monuments being created in the span of 20 minutes.
