 No need to brag about gulf of mexico and others undefended port conquests, there is really nothing to be proud of, port reset is coming that month, i don't know who would care to defend ~00+ shallow ports a sunday afternoon of august in those conditions. Don't tell me you were expecting them to defend better than what they've done, moreover when this actual boring PB / conquest mecanics will dissapear/change in a few weeks. I've heard fair fights happened, everybody should stick to that as it's what is keeping us playing this game, no need to give advice about strategy, politic, ego, drama, when you deny Spain from taking back ports with the use of timers. I hope spain will hold on and keep good moral and fighting spirit, and maybe come back stronger after port reset. As a french independent player i've tried to help screening a little but all of that happened too fast. As i've said i don't know much about relations between our nations via diplomats but I hope that we will strengthen our communications and cooperation.
