360 - Turn 19/20 - EFEC not given their defensive spoils once again?

So for the second turn in a row, Europe has not been given their defensive spoils. We defended U.S.S. Reagan, so why don't we have 3 Mile Island?

Why does Europe keep getting screwed over?

I'm confused. We successfully defended Copenhagen, so shouldn't that have given us the attacking territory of Springfield? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Hey this was asked earlier but no one responded.

How do you get the TOW to do 1 vs 1? Mine shows 2 vs 2 and I can't figure out how to change http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif
Cheers

So it appears that all of WWIII will be fought in North America alone! Seriously the Europeans have been a stones throw away from Moscow on the LIVE version of this game for MANY turns and have never NEVER been given the option to get closer and attack it! Yet The Russians are invading DC every other turn or so! I suppose the Euro high command said..oh see there is Mosocw so close ..lets not attack it and got get America along with thr Russians...I'm starting to really not give a crap about this game anymore.

Cheers for the reply mate
Hmm odd. I didn't get that option on the map when I had a look I don't think. It was Arrarbida (?spelling) I think in Portugal.
Are all maps playable as either 1 vs 1 or 2 vs 2?

[LIT_U_UP]

We're losing 212 to 106 at Arrabida. So tomorrow, I'll get to fight in La Mancha! http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif We're also down 6 at Three Mile Island. Come on, I know you guys don't wanna keep defending USS Reagan, get in there and whoop some ***. http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/icon_twisted.gif

Surprisingly, we're winning everything else, EVEN OKEFENOKEE! http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/11.gif

this is going to sound strange but there is definitely, unequivocably no Start button when I go into a TOW battle screen, if I play a Skirmish against the AI on 2player then go into TOW it stays on 2 player - I have to go back to get it changed.
V odd!

For 360 version... first you have to go to TOW Select Mission screen (ie one where you can select the different missions available)... and then you can use Start to access the options where you can set 1v1 or 2v2.

Some explanation on why we are under siege in Washington would be nice. I thought an insurgency would be more of a conquest type mission... How do you explain that Washington, annexed by Euro, has no reinforcements?

Do you guys even play the PS3 version?

Dear Ubisoft,

I have been an avid player of endwar since the game came out and I must say that I absolutely LOVE it. Unfortunately, I am writing in regards to an issue that is affecting multipls factions in varying ways. This is the attack from nowhere rule in TOW.

Simply using Reagan seabase as an example, the attack from nowhere rule is making it extremely frustrating for players of both the EEFC and the JSF. It is as some of you may know, currently a stale mate due to no progress in either direction. The EEFC players keep trying to take the territory, and are unfortunately repaid by having their squads consistently beaten and countless units killed. However, despite the consistent winning at the seabase for the JSF, they are not allowed to counterattack, for example, Glen Albyn, which is the source of the european attack, or Wilstermarsch, which they could easily do from Copenhagen, which the JSF had held for several turns without using it at all.

Thus, since reagan has been a great place for the JSF newcomers to build up their forces since their winning percentage is so high, not to mention a fun place for the JSF AND the EEFC to play, it has consistently been the JSF primary front. However, since it is considered an attack from nowhere, there is no forward progress ANYWHERE for the JSF, and the best they can do is attempt to hold on to the territories they have, and then slowly lose them, which is what the JSF has been doing now for the majority of war 2.

I am speaking as someone not representing any faction, because while this rule is certainly frustrating for the JSF, it also affects the ability of the Europeans to have a shot of making a better offensive in the northern US or at least to have the JSF come to eruopean territory and have their units killed for a change.

Ubisoft, you guys have done a wonderful job making corrections from war 1 to war 2 in order to make the playing more fair and fun for everyone. Please, PLEASE continue to provide excellent service to your players by getting rid of the attack from nowhere rule so that there can be an end to the stalemate in the northern US and a chance for the JSF to gain a territory
