The year is 2012. A next-generation conflict is about to unfold...

Ukraine has expressed its personal desire to join the European Union, with Russia’s furious opposition, since Viktor Yushchenko’s election as president in 2004. Despite Russia’s warnings that it “would be forced to take action” if Ukraine indeed joined the Union, in February 2012 Ukraine had met the three economic goals for its induction into the EU. It was set to join in the succeeding months.

Tragically, it turned out that Russia, who had made false threats before (Ukraine’s joining of NATO in 2010) was not bluffing this time.Three FOAM missiles hit the Polish countryside, accidentally killing twenty people. The response from Brussels was (unlike the normal docile European diplomacy) much more threatening, a warning was given, if Russia wanted a war, they would get a war.

The situation appeared to be calming, until the Spangdahlem Incident the next month. A group of Russian spies were caught while trying to sabotage equipment on a NATO base in Ukraine and were arrested, they were taken on a flight to Brussels for questioning. However, when flying over Germany the flight was intercepted by American F-22’s and ordered to land at the American Spangdahlem Air base.
The European Army was informed of the incident and infantry and tanks quickly surrounded the base, demanding that the spies be restored to the relevant authorities. According to European President Tony Blair:
” Anyone caught interfering with European matters, must deal with the strong, proud and intelligent people of Europe, not the interfering Americans”
The siege continued for two days until the American Military ordered warning shots to be fired. These shots were misinterpreted by the Europeans as an attack, resulting on a direct order to assault the base by the European Military. During the attack 23 American military personnel were killed, and over 100 were arrested. The spies were then put on a flight to London for further questioning.
The American government was enraged. Harsh verbal warnings were given to each other within the next twenty minutes, then the Americans again intercepted the London Bound flight and ordered it to land in Brunssum, the Netherlands. The European Air force then retaliated by sending fifteen Eurofighters to the Location and shooting down an F15. Shortly afterwards the EU released an ultimatum.
“All U.S troops must leave European and Ukrainian soil within twenty four hours. “
NATO was over.
The ultimatum expired without a single American soldier leaving European soil. Russia made sarcastic diplomatic comments to the EU, and jeered at the Europeans - who still hadn’t acted.
However an hour later every American and NATO base in Europe and Ukraine were stormed by the European Military, resulting in over 300 European and about 500 American casualties. American military Equipment was destroyed and the surviving military personnel arrested. President Blair said in another statement:
“Violence is never necessary, but in the face of an interfering and arrogant, so called 'ally', there is no other option.”

Missiles from American submarines in the gulf were launched at European bases in Turkey. This angered the Europeans to an extent where they decided to launch their own missiles, They weren’t destined for American soil, but at American spy satellites, causing Billions of dollars of damage.
A declaration of war was made by the Americans on the European Union the next day. Meanwhile on the Russian border with Ukraine, Russian tanks rolled over the border, determined to stop the next month’s succession of Ukraine into the EU. This was met with hostility by both Europe and the USA. Europe declared war on the Russians With President Blair saying:
“We are outnumbered, but righteous, and if there is one thing I have learned from history, it is that the righteous, no matter how outnumbered, always prevail”
The US responded to Russia’s attack on the Ukraine with an Ultimatum of its own, “Either Russia leaves Ukraine, or the United States of America will declare war”

The ultimatum expired...

Speaking of infantry, when the team was faced with the classic (mythic) question:

"Which weapon should be the standard infantry rifle for the US Military?" (since TAOW is placed on the near future)

We decided we are going to start a new poll on the forums 'after' the second mega update is released and will allow people to vote for their favorite choice (a number of chosen weapons will be presented with their particular facts/info), the chosen one will be the standard issue rifle for the US Military in TAOW.

It's obvious that people are quite vocal with this popular question, and so we decided to let people choose.

The standard-issue rifle for the European Union and Russian Federation are already chosen though.

This stuff all looks good, and I like how this mod is progressing, but may I ask- am I the only one those models look high-poly too? The Stryker looks like its in the thousands, and none of the others look much better. I believe this *could* be the skins, in some small part, but the models look very high poly...

actually the stryker is extremely low in poly, around under 700.

we've decided not to follow too strict a poly count limit. many people have asked me this b4. all our vehicles are always under a 1000 poly limit. CNC gens does not have a limit, like those famous myths say where if u have a model too high in poly the game would crash..... this dosn't exist.

and trust me, lagging will not affect players what so ever, as my whole life i've been living with a crappy butt computer,(until recently) and i know that lagging is very important. so don't worry
