The '''Great Weight War''' was a four-month conflict primarily fought between the Garry's Mod Alliance Pact (GMAP) and Koupii-X̃ɀʌ̄ͷιwэ-Modrik International (KXMI) against the Coalition, an alliance comprised of many Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization (KATO) and Petrograd Pact member states. The war lasted for around four months, in which fighting was inconsistent. Though it initially started on Valen Sandbox, the majority of battles took place on Theater of Operations. After prologned inactivity from GMAP, the Coalition unilaterally declared victory and withdrew. This war marked the end of a long-standing trend where the factions community could unanimously agree on a victor, as well as the last war in which GMAP would enjoy a numerical and military advantage. The fact that both sides declared victory inspired the Coalition to launch the [[The Great Gunny War|Great Gunny War]] in June of 2025.

== Valen Sandbox ==
Throughout November of 2024, Caesar's Legion, a then IZK proxy group, made several incursions onto Valen sandbox. CL was met with significant resistance by GMAP forces occupying the server, inspiring increased technological development within the former. Despite rules against the use of facade armor (vehicles whose models do not accurately visually represent their armor layout), CL observed significant breaches in this rule by GMAP and IMR, and thus ignored it in their own designs. This sparked retaliatory escalation amongst GMAP and KXMI, heightening tensions. Throughout these engagements, GMAP repeatedly claimed victory on the grounds that CL was leaving the server, but these usually occurred after the battles had already concluded. This angered IZK, they became inspired to conduct a large scale assault on the server to strike a blow against GMAP.

=== Invasion of Valen (12/14/2024 - GMAP/KXMI Victory) ===
On December 14th, 2024, Izakia and its minor allies launched a full scale invasion of Valen sandbox. A joint GMAP-KXMI force consisting of Andosia, Skossia, and Yakugiria came to the server's defense. While Izakia enjoyed early successes, KXMI called the [[The Imperium|Imperium]] for reinforcements, which then dominated the battlefield with vtols and turned the battle in GMAP-KXMI's favor.

Izakia called off the invasion of Valen following IMR's intervention. During this time, Valen lacked major enforcement of its native ruleset, and IZK members had witnessed illegal technology being used on the server without staff intervention, thus prompting the assumption that using it back would not see any major retaliation due to the community presumably tolerating it. Following the end of the battle, the IZK-KATO sphere had considered the war to have ended prematurely, and this became the source of major disputes defining the beginning and end of a conflict between then Coalition and GMAP leadership.

== Forever War ==
Several engagements occurred between non-belligerent states and IZK in Mid-December of 2024 on the Forever War server. These included Jordi's Independent Denersian Union and Scanty's Pruvoslav Union. Though neither states were aligned with GMAP nor KXMI, GMAP claimed their participation as credit in their war effort.

== KATO Intervention ==
In January of 2025, relations between the Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization and GMAP broke down due to disagreements on the Imperium's involvement in GMAP affairs. KATO harbored strong animosity towards IMR due to their relationship with the Imperial Alliance at the time, and believed that IMR was attempting to influence GMAP on the Imperial Alliance's behalf. Due to the classified nature of the evidence KATO possessed, they were unable to disclose their findings, which heightened distrust within GMAP towards them. On January 27th, Jarck, the leader of NRK, accused GMAP of openly collaborating with the Imperium, and declared war. It was later learned during KATO-IMR diplomatic talks in February 2025 that IMR's presence in the GMAP sphere was, in reality, to counteract attempts by the [[Imperial Alliance]] to influence GMAP.

== Theater of Operations: Phase 1 ==

=== January 27–28, 2025 (GMAP Victory) ===
On the night of NRK's declaration of martial law on Theater of Operations, Black Star Task Force (BSTF) members Comrade Jeskov and miragegarden were playing on Theater of Operations on the map gm_fork_train, when KATO would launch a full-scale invasion, sending IKR, IW, and NRK forces on the server. Although the KATO members initially claimed they were just testing out the guns, they engaged BSTF first. Prockles and Magi, leaders of GUBBER and the Solar Imperium (SOL), respectively, joined to help BSTF defend the server, with Cat joining a little later as well. There was much infantry combat, mostly occurring within the city. Ape would oftentimes go into the forests to snipe. There were many helicopters in the air at many points of the battle, and miragegarden used a jet. In the middle of the battle, Prockles and Magi had to leave, due to it being late at night. Near the end, Grey515, another SOL leader, joined for fun, primarily using knuckledusters. The battle lasted around three hours, with it going overnight. It ended with KATO admitting defeat and leaving. GMAP's final K/D was 517/294 (1.76), while KATO's was 411/489 (0.84).

=== January 29–30, 2025 (GMAP Victory) ===
On January 29, only Jarck joined to attack, with the map being gm_fork_train again, citing that the rest of KATO didn't want to help due to them disliking the server's perk system. 3 GMAP members from BSTF, C.G.I., and SOL, who were already on the server, engaged him back until Jarck left with a very low K/D. That night, when the map was on gm_vyten, IZK leader Ilya joined under a different name, Cuban Sandwich. Several GMAP members were already playing on the server, and didn't engage him at first to pretend that they didn't know it was him. Additionally, more GMAP members joined preemptively just in case a large-scale battle would start. Ilya engaged Cat first by firing at his helicopter with an AA tank. BSTF, C.G.I., DRS, GAGR, GUBBER, and SOL deployed forces to defend, while additionally IZK, IW, and NRK forces were sent to invade. Various forces on both sides would join throughout the battle, with both scattered infantry and vehicle-based combat occurring throughout the map. Sergei spawned in his base, dubbed the Iron Dome, where he had an AA tank on the top surrounded by a translucent fading door dome, which he could activate at will to shoot out of it. Eventually, bill was able to kill Sergei and his spawnpoint using C4. The Iron Dome was shortly deleted after. IZK would utilize several makeshift vehicles, such as a HL2 jeep with props as armor, rigged with C4s, an APC with spinning rectuangular rods in the front to kill players, and small flying vehicles that they would fly up to act as sniping platforms. Near the end of the battle, GMAP made a base out of blast doors to defend against this assault. The battle once again went overnight and lasted 5 hours, ending when IZK-KATO forces left. GMAP's K/D was 670/722 (0.93), while the IZK-KATO K/D was 640/722 (0.89).

=== January 31-February 1, 2025 (KATO Victory) ===
On the night of January 31, two NRK members, Jarck and Paloma, would join to engage several GMAP members who were already on while the map was on gm_highland. Jarck would fight around the outside of the map, while Paloma would stay near the South (front) entrance of the bunker with a minigun. The battle was initially in NRK's favor, as the GMAP members were uncoordinated, falling victim to NRK many times, primarily due to Paloma and his minigun. GMAP forces eventually pushed into the bunker, establishing a foothold in there. Paloma and Sergei would rush in, using grenade launchers loaded with sticky and incendiary grenades, as well as using gas grenades to flush out the GMAP forces. They successfully killed many of the GMAP members in the process, but they set their spawns and held their ground. GMAP started fortifying their bunker, turning it into their base. NRK started raiding the base, with more reinforcements on both sides coming to assist. BSTF, C.G.I., DRS, GUBBER, SOL, SC, and YSR were on GMAP's side, while IKR, IW, and NRK were fighting for KATO. Despite a prolonged siege, KATO failed to breach the base, but gained a significant K/D advantage. There was a lull in combat, until KATO forces used the JMod Toolbox to break down the walls of the base while the GMAP forces were distracted. A large firefight ensued, in which GMAP flushed all KATO forces out of the base. The battle once again went overnight, lasting for four hours until all KATO forces left. KATO declared victory due to their superior K/D, which GMAP had been using as a metric for determining the outcome of the past two battles. Despite this, GMAP claimed victory anyway, this time with a new justification that KATO had failed to raid their base. Respectively, KATO and GMAP's K/Ds were 365/233 (1.56) and 185/444 (0.42). KATO accused GMAP of shifting the goalposts following their defeat.

=== February 1, 2025 (Minor GMAP-KXMI Victory) ===
Later that day, on February 1, GMAP players (BSTF, C.G.I., DRS, and GUBBER) would be playing on gm_highland, collecting JMod resources. They had upgraded their bunker base from the prior battle and were preparing for another potential invasion. At the time, Paloma was also on the server, but did not engage. However, Jarck joined, creating a squad, and starting the battle. Heavy fighting occurred, with Paloma trying to kill people within the base, GMAP trying to defend it and the many JMod resources inside, and miragegarden going outside to kill the NRK members. Paloma made use of the new guns on the server - much more powerful than regular ones, but had to be bought through in-game currency. Omegatrion of IW would also join to help NRK, while computeration and Corvus of SC and NPF, respectively, would join to help GMAP. Most GMAP members were relegated to defending the base. Cat, miragegarden, and occasionally Harmless and computeration, would patrol outside, hunting KATO members to great success. Sergei would eventually spawn a tall, black base directly in front of GMAP's bunker. It had one-way props as windows to shoot from, but was otherwise impenetrable by small arms fire. However, miragegarden noticed that there was on entrance on the roof, which acted as a door. Using a breaching charge, Cat and miragegarden breached the base, and before they could kill Jarck, he kill binded. The roof was rigged with C4s, which Jarck triggered, destroying his own spawn and killing Cat. However, miragegarden remained alive, capturing the base. The base was then deleted immediately, with Omegatrion and Paloma shortly leaving after. Sergei spawned the exact same base again. However, it was quickly taken over by Cat and Harmless who settled down in his base. Fighting died down shortly after, with the server restarting, ending the battle. GMAP successfully defended their base, while taking over the two KATO bases that were spawned. Additionally, GMAP's K/D was 89/105 (0.85), while KATO's was 45/71 (0.63), making the battle a GMAP victory.

=== February 2–3, 2025 (GMAP-KXMI Victory) ===
On the night of February 2, GUBBER members and an NPF member were playing on gm_highland when IZK leader Ilya joined. An IMR member was also on, but didn't initially get involved. C.G.I. and SOL leaders joined in response, with IMR, YSR, another NPF member, and an unaffiliated militant supporting them later in the battle. An additional IZK member and Omegatrion of IW would join to help Ilya. Typical fighting occurred, with people killing each other around the map. GMAP forces were consistently able to get more kills against IZK and IW forces. Around the middle of the battle, Cat was able to capture Ilya with the handcuff swet. He was taken to the bunker and was kept in a room, with most of the GMAP-KXMI forces guarding him. Cat jerry-rigged some fortifications, blocking off one side of the outside hallway, and making a fading door on the other side. Omegatrion would attempt to break in multiple times, but was never able to, being killed by GMAP-KXMI defenses. Eventually, Ilya was almost able to break out of the handcuffs, so he was executed, and regular fighting resumed. The battle went overnight, lasted 4 hours, and ended when IZK and IW forces left. The combined GMAP-KXMI K/D was 207/187 (1.11), and IZK and KATO's combined K/D was 63/101 (0.62), resulting in a GMAP-KXMI victory.

=== February 4, 2025 (GMAP Victory) ===
On February 4, the map was once again on gm_highland. Though Comrade Jeskov was not participating in the battle, miragegarden was still fighting IZK on behalf of BSTF. GUBBER leader Prockles joined the server, and got jumped by the six IZK-aligned members. Four of them were officially part of IZK, while the two others were in their squad and actively helped them throughout the battle. One of the two non-IZK members included Sukhoi, a former IMR member who was removed after doxxing people. KATO later disclosed to IMR that IZK had no knowledge of Sukhoi's doxxing incident, nor who he was. Despite the overwhelming odds, miragegarden and Prockles was able to effectively fight them, with Prockles assaulting their base with an RPG-7 from a hilltop. Note that one of the IZK-aligned members, Cap, broke the rules three times by destroying Prockles' helicopter while it was grounded. The battle ended with Prockles having a 124/86 (1.44) K/D, and the IZK-aligned members having a 98/157 (0.62) K/D, a victory for BSTF and GUBBER, despite being heavily outnumbered.

== Theater of Operations: Phase 2 ==
Phase 2 marked the latter stages of the war, where a large lull in the fighting occurred between GMAP-KXMI and Coalition for most of February. By early March, fighting resumed.

=== March 4–5, 2025 (GMAP-KXMI Victory) ===
On the night of March 4, while the map was on rp_canadatown, several Coalition members (CL, IKR, IW, NRK) joined the server all at once, prompting GMAP-aligned reinforcements (BSTF, C.G.I., DRS, GUBBER, NPF, SC, SOL) to join in response. Firefighting broke out, where GMAP-aligned members had a K/D advantage. Most of the Coalition members started hiding, eventually erecting a large base. GMAP-aligned forces would attempt to raid it, but initially got pushed back due to the use of prop gun turrets. They told CL to stop, as it was against the rules, but CL claimed that they had already ceased using the weapons after being ordered to. Cat, the head admin, got on much later, and was informed about the armed Wire contraptions. He found the illegal contraptions after inspecting their base, and confronted CL about it. However, they denied using Wire whatsoever. Jeskov would also join the server, helping to investigate. Jeskov and Cat took screenshots to prove that CL did in fact have armed Wire, and only then did CL start removing the contraptions. CL also had an illegal invisible fan at the top of their base to push players off the roof, which they also denied as illegal. The battle went overnight, GMAP-aligned forces made a coordinated effort to assault the base once more, killing many Coalition forces in the process. The Coalition still gave GMAP-aligned forces a hard time with helicopters. GMAP-aligned forces pushed deeper into the Coalition's base, but in the heat of battle, the Coalition forces suddenly retreated, claiming victory. However, GMAP-aligned forces had a K/D of 255/244 (1.05), while the Coalition had a K/D of 204/255 (0.8), marking this battle as a victory for GMAP and NPF.

=== March 5, 2025 (GMAP Victory) ===
Later that day on March 5, while the map was still on rp_canadatown, Jarck would join to fight several GMAP-aligned forces (C.G.I., DRS, SC, SOL, and an unaffiliated militant). Though he initially gained air superiority with helicopters, the GMAP-aligned forces fought back with their own helicopters, gaining a K/D advantage with combined arms. Jarck resorted to spawning in a large, illegal base. It consisted of a platform, with many transparent segments above, acting as numerous fading doors. Only Sergei could manually open these, as keypads were not present, which was against the rules. Jarck had also told us that he won, because we couldn't raid his base, mocking GMAP's past victory declaration citing a similar reason. Immediately after he said that, he opened the fading doors, allowing Larry and Cat to jump in. Magi blew him up with helicopter missiles, and Larry and Cat occupied his base. Jarck spawned in many more of these bases after the initial capture, this time with keypads. However, he immediately got blown up again, resulting in him despawning most of them, leaving only two, which he would never use again. After he was repeatedly killed, he left, claiming that he had won. However, it was a GMAP-aligned victory, as not only did every NRK base get occupied, but the GMAP-aligned K/D was 108/79 (1.37), while NRK's was 49/59 (0.83).

=== March 6–7, 2025 (GMAP-KXMI Victory) ===
On March 6, CL and IW raided the server while GMAP members (BSTF, DRS, GUBBER, SC, and SOL) were already on. Firefights ensued, with GMAP having a better K/D. However, the map was changed to rp_rudmerge since multiple players were having technical issues with it. Most GMAP members would use helicopters to kill Coalition forces while on rp_rudmerge. GMAP members would maintain a K/D advantage throughout the battle, even as IW and NRK joined to support the Coalition. Meanwhile, rispali, who fought on behalf of NPF, joined to help GMAP. Jarck kept using the LVS Stinger against infantry, which was against the rules. Though he claimed it was an accident due to a bug, it happened extremely often, to the point where staff assumed it was not accidental. Additionally, no other players were doing this. As the battle dragged on late into the night, many GMAP members would have to sleep, since they are kids. Inversely, the Coalition would get even more reinforcements on. IW members spawned several fortifications, but GMAP never attempted to raid them. However, opposing forces would snipe and shoot missiles from within them. Fighting died down, with only Cat, miragegarden, and Larry left. Cat and Larry would stay on to not surrender, while miragegarden did the bulk of the fighting at the end. Despite facing 7 of them once, miragegarden was consistently able to kill them more, with minimal losses. The battle ended when the map changed, going overnight and lasting 6 hours in total. GMAP-aligned forces had a K/D of 531/517 (1.03), while the Coalition had a K/D of 463/540 (0.86), resulting in a decisive GMAP-aligned victory. Coalition forces remaining on the server into the late hours became a point of controversy, as GMAP accused them of dragging out fights to intentionally deprive them of sleep. The Coalition defended their actions stating that GMAP would declare victory if they left, even if they had a superior K/D, so they resolved to stay on for as long as possible.

=== Undocumented Battles (Coalition Victories) ===
There were three additional battles which occurred after March 6–7, which had been omitted from the record due to information warfare on the deprecated RFAI wiki. These three engagements were the last battles of the war, all of which were Coalition victories against GMAP, which had been declining significantly in activity on the server.

The most significant battle was the destruction of a DRS megabase on March 9 by using Jmod nuclear weaponry. The base was destroyed, and Caesar's Legion immediately spawned their base over where it was prior to its destruction. This marked the last major battle of the Theater campaign, as GMAP forces reduced their presence on the server which resulted in only small skirmishes afterward.

Up until late March, the Coalition maintained an occupation force on the server which went mostly unopposed. Caesar's Legion began a colonization effort on the server, successfully constructing a few settlements on the server with the help of a few server natives. Ludasian and token KATO forces prioritized a nuclear program in order to maintain a state of constant readiness in the event of a GMAP counterattack. GMAP and Пацанская Империя also manufactured nukes themselves and conducted nuclear testing following the nuclear bombing of their base on March 9. The institution of new server rules that counteracted the Coalition's combat doctrine, limiting the use of Jmod and weakening bases, made staying on the server a significantly debated topic throughout the month. The Coalition withdrew from the server at the end of March due to a lack of opposition, which GMAP then came out and declared victory due to their withdrawal despite not contesting their occupation.

== End of the War ==
After December 14, 2025, the Coalition stopped trying to contest Valen Sandbox. Additionally, after the previous battles, they would stop contesting Theater of Operations as well. The Coalition declared victory over GMAP on the basis that GMAP had ceased operations on Theater for two weeks straight. However, GMAP-KXMI forces won a significant majority of battles while maintaining a superior K/D, as well as maintaining control over Valen Sandbox. The Coalition's victory claim comes from differing definitions of the overall conflict, with the Coalition considering the Valen Invasion on December 14 and prior fights between CL and GMAP to be a separate conflict of its own. On the Theater front, the Coalition alleged that GMAP withdrew from the server after realizing that the Coalition was starting to consistently win battles, and sought to deny giving the Coalition any further wins to maintain an image of a perfect winning streak. Following this, the Coalition turned the bulk of its efforts towards testing ACF crew and preparing for the eventual [[The Great Gunny War|Great Gunny War]], which they launched on June 28.

The '''Great Weight War''' was a four-month conflict primarily fought between the Garry's Mod Alliance Pact (GMAP) and Koupii-X̃ɀʌ̄ͷιwэ-Modrik International (KXMI) against the Coalition, an alliance comprised of many Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization (KATO) and Petrograd Pact member states. The war lasted for around four months, in which fighting was inconsistent. Though it initially started on Valen Sandbox, the majority of battles took place on Theater of Operations. After prologned inactivity from GMAP, the Coalition unilaterally declared victory and withdrew. This war marked the end of a long-standing trend where the factions community could unanimously agree on a victor, as well as the last war in which GMAP would enjoy a numerical and military advantage. The fact that both sides declared victory inspired the Coalition to launch the [[The Great Gunny War|Great Gunny War]] in June of 2025.

== Valen Sandbox ==
Throughout November of 2024, Caesar's Legion, a then IZK proxy group, made several incursions onto Valen sandbox. CL was met with significant resistance by GMAP forces occupying the server, inspiring increased technological development within the former. Despite rules against the use of facade armor (vehicles whose models do not accurately visually represent their armor layout), CL observed significant breaches in this rule by GMAP and IMR, and thus ignored it in their own designs. This sparked retaliatory escalation amongst GMAP and KXMI, heightening tensions. Throughout these engagements, GMAP repeatedly claimed victory on the grounds that CL was leaving the server, but these usually occurred after the battles had already concluded. This angered IZK, they became inspired to conduct a large scale assault on the server to strike a blow against GMAP.

=== Invasion of Valen (12/14/2024 - GMAP/KXMI Victory) ===
On December 14th, 2024, Izakia and its minor allies launched a full scale invasion of Valen sandbox. A joint GMAP-KXMI force consisting of Andosia, Skossia, and Yakugiria came to the server's defense. While Izakia enjoyed early successes, KXMI called the [[The Imperium|Imperium]] for reinforcements, which then dominated the battlefield with vtols and turned the battle in GMAP-KXMI's favor.

Izakia called off the invasion of Valen following IMR's intervention. During this time, Valen lacked major enforcement of its native ruleset, and IZK members had witnessed illegal technology being used on the server without staff intervention, thus prompting the assumption that using it back would not see any major retaliation due to the community presumably tolerating it. Following the end of the battle, the IZK-KATO sphere had considered the war to have ended prematurely, and this became the source of major disputes defining the beginning and end of a conflict between then Coalition and GMAP leadership.

== Forever War ==
Several engagements occurred between non-belligerent states and IZK in Mid-December of 2024 on the Forever War server. These included Jordi's Independent Denersian Union and Scanty's Pruvoslav Union. Though neither states were aligned with GMAP nor KXMI, GMAP claimed their participation as credit in their war effort.

== KATO Intervention ==
In January of 2025, relations between the Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization and GMAP broke down due to disagreements on the Imperium's involvement in GMAP affairs. KATO harbored strong animosity towards IMR due to their relationship with the Imperial Alliance at the time, and believed that IMR was attempting to influence GMAP on the Imperial Alliance's behalf. Due to the classified nature of the evidence KATO possessed, they were unable to disclose their findings, which heightened distrust within GMAP towards them. On January 27th, Jarck, the leader of NRK, accused GMAP of openly collaborating with the Imperium, and declared war. It was later learned during KATO-IMR diplomatic talks in February 2025 that IMR's presence in the GMAP sphere was, in reality, to counteract attempts by the [[Imperial Alliance]] to influence GMAP.

== Theater of Operations: Phase 1 ==

=== January 27–28, 2025 (GMAP Victory) ===
On the night of NRK's declaration of martial law on Theater of Operations, Black Star Task Force (BSTF) members Comrade Jeskov and miragegarden were playing on Theater of Operations on the map gm_fork_train, when KATO would launch a full-scale invasion, sending IKR, IW, and NRK forces on the server. Although the KATO members initially claimed they were just testing out the guns, they engaged BSTF first. Prockles and Magi, leaders of GUBBER and the Solar Imperium (SOL), respectively, joined to help BSTF defend the server, with Cat joining a little later as well. There was much infantry combat, mostly occurring within the city. Ape would oftentimes go into the forests to snipe. There were many helicopters in the air at many points of the battle, and miragegarden used a jet. In the middle of the battle, Prockles and Magi had to leave, due to it being late at night. Near the end, Grey515, another SOL leader, joined for fun, primarily using knuckledusters. The battle lasted around three hours, with it going overnight. It ended with KATO admitting defeat and leaving. GMAP's final K/D was 517/294 (1.76), while KATO's was 411/489 (0.84).

=== January 29–30, 2025 (GMAP Victory) ===
On January 29, only Jarck joined to attack, with the map being gm_fork_train again, citing that the rest of KATO didn't want to help due to them disliking the server's perk system. 3 GMAP members from BSTF, C.G.I., and SOL, who were already on the server, engaged him back until Jarck left with a very low K/D. That night, when the map was on gm_vyten, IZK leader Ilya joined under a different name, Cuban Sandwich. Several GMAP members were already playing on the server, and didn't engage him at first to pretend that they didn't know it was him. Additionally, more GMAP members joined preemptively just in case a large-scale battle would start. Ilya engaged Cat first by firing at his helicopter with an AA tank. BSTF, C.G.I., DRS, GAGR, GUBBER, and SOL deployed forces to defend, while additionally IZK, IW, and NRK forces were sent to invade. Various forces on both sides would join throughout the battle, with both scattered infantry and vehicle-based combat occurring throughout the map. Sergei spawned in his base, dubbed the Iron Dome, where he had an AA tank on the top surrounded by a translucent fading door dome, which he could activate at will to shoot out of it. Eventually, bill was able to kill Sergei and his spawnpoint using C4. The Iron Dome was shortly deleted after. IZK would utilize several makeshift vehicles, such as a HL2 jeep with props as armor, rigged with C4s, an APC with spinning rectuangular rods in the front to kill players, and small flying vehicles that they would fly up to act as sniping platforms. Near the end of the battle, GMAP made a base out of blast doors to defend against this assault. The battle once again went overnight and lasted 5 hours, ending when IZK-KATO forces left. GMAP's K/D was 670/722 (0.93), while the IZK-KATO K/D was 640/722 (0.89).

=== January 31-February 1, 2025 (KATO Victory) ===
On the night of January 31, two NRK members, Jarck and Paloma, would join to engage several GMAP members who were already on while the map was on gm_highland. Jarck would fight around the outside of the map, while Paloma would stay near the South (front) entrance of the bunker with a minigun. The battle was initially in NRK's favor, as the GMAP members were uncoordinated, falling victim to NRK many times, primarily due to Paloma and his minigun. GMAP forces eventually pushed into the bunker, establishing a foothold in there. Paloma and Sergei would rush in, using grenade launchers loaded with sticky and incendiary grenades, as well as using gas grenades to flush out the GMAP forces. They successfully killed many of the GMAP members in the process, but they set their spawns and held their ground. GMAP started fortifying their bunker, turning it into their base. NRK started raiding the base, with more reinforcements on both sides coming to assist. BSTF, C.G.I., DRS, GUBBER, SOL, SC, and YSR were on GMAP's side, while IKR, IW, and NRK were fighting for KATO. Despite a prolonged siege, KATO failed to breach the base, but gained a significant K/D advantage. There was a lull in combat, until KATO forces used the JMod Toolbox to break down the walls of the base while the GMAP forces were distracted. A large firefight ensued, in which GMAP flushed all KATO forces out of the base. The battle once again went overnight, lasting for four hours until all KATO forces left. KATO declared victory due to their superior K/D, which GMAP had been using as a metric for determining the outcome of the past two battles. Despite this, GMAP claimed victory anyway, this time with a new justification that KATO had failed to raid their base. Respectively, KATO and GMAP's K/Ds were 365/233 (1.56) and 185/444 (0.42). KATO accused GMAP of shifting the goalposts following their defeat.

=== February 1, 2025 (Minor GMAP-KXMI Victory) ===
Later that day, on February 1, GMAP players (BSTF, C.G.I., DRS, and GUBBER) would be playing on gm_highland, collecting JMod resources. They had upgraded their bunker base from the prior battle and were preparing for another potential invasion. At the time, Paloma was also on the server, but did not engage. However, Jarck joined, creating a squad, and starting the battle. Heavy fighting occurred, with Paloma trying to kill people within the base, GMAP trying to defend it and the many JMod resources inside, and miragegarden going outside to kill the NRK members. Paloma made use of the new guns on the server - much more powerful than regular ones, but had to be bought through in-game currency. Omegatrion of IW would also join to help NRK, while computeration and Corvus of SC and NPF, respectively, would join to help GMAP. Most GMAP members were relegated to defending the base. Cat, miragegarden, and occasionally Harmless and computeration, would patrol outside, hunting KATO members to great success. Sergei would eventually spawn a tall, black base directly in front of GMAP's bunker. It had one-way props as windows to shoot from, but was otherwise impenetrable by small arms fire. However, miragegarden noticed that there was on entrance on the roof, which acted as a door. Using a breaching charge, Cat and miragegarden breached the base, and before they could kill Jarck, he kill binded. The roof was rigged with C4s, which Jarck triggered, destroying his own spawn and killing Cat. However, miragegarden remained alive, capturing the base. The base was then deleted immediately, with Omegatrion and Paloma shortly leaving after. Sergei spawned the exact same base again. However, it was quickly taken over by Cat and Harmless who settled down in his base. Fighting died down shortly after, with the server restarting, ending the battle. GMAP successfully defended their base, while taking over the two KATO bases that were spawned. Additionally, GMAP's K/D was 89/105 (0.85), while KATO's was 45/71 (0.63), making the battle a GMAP victory.

=== February 2–3, 2025 (GMAP-KXMI Victory) ===
On the night of February 2, GUBBER members and an NPF member were playing on gm_highland when IZK leader Ilya joined. An IMR member was also on, but didn't initially get involved. C.G.I. and SOL leaders joined in response, with IMR, YSR, another NPF member, and an unaffiliated militant supporting them later in the battle. An additional IZK member and Omegatrion of IW would join to help Ilya. Typical fighting occurred, with people killing each other around the map. GMAP forces were consistently able to get more kills against IZK and IW forces. Around the middle of the battle, Cat was able to capture Ilya with the handcuff swet. He was taken to the bunker and was kept in a room, with most of the GMAP-KXMI forces guarding him. Cat jerry-rigged some fortifications, blocking off one side of the outside hallway, and making a fading door on the other side. Omegatrion would attempt to break in multiple times, but was never able to, being killed by GMAP-KXMI defenses. Eventually, Ilya was almost able to break out of the handcuffs, so he was executed, and regular fighting resumed. The battle went overnight, lasted 4 hours, and ended when IZK and IW forces left. The combined GMAP-KXMI K/D was 207/187 (1.11), and IZK and KATO's combined K/D was 63/101 (0.62), resulting in a GMAP-KXMI victory.

=== February 4, 2025 (GMAP Victory) ===
On February 4, the map was once again on gm_highland. Though Comrade Jeskov was not participating in the battle, miragegarden was still fighting IZK on behalf of BSTF. GUBBER leader Prockles joined the server, and got jumped by the six IZK-aligned members. Four of them were officially part of IZK, while the two others were in their squad and actively helped them throughout the battle. One of the two non-IZK members included Sukhoi, a former IMR member who was removed after doxxing people. KATO later disclosed to IMR that IZK had no knowledge of Sukhoi's doxxing incident, nor who he was. Despite the overwhelming odds, miragegarden and Prockles was able to effectively fight them, with Prockles assaulting their base with an RPG-7 from a hilltop. Note that one of the IZK-aligned members, Cap, broke the rules three times by destroying Prockles' helicopter while it was grounded. The battle ended with Prockles having a 124/86 (1.44) K/D, and the IZK-aligned members having a 98/157 (0.62) K/D, a victory for BSTF and GUBBER, despite being heavily outnumbered.

== Theater of Operations: Phase 2 ==
Phase 2 marked the latter stages of the war, where a large lull in the fighting occurred between GMAP-KXMI and Coalition for most of February. By early March, fighting resumed.

=== March 4–5, 2025 (GMAP-KXMI Victory) ===
On the night of March 4, while the map was on rp_canadatown, several Coalition members (CL, IKR, IW, NRK) joined the server all at once, prompting GMAP-aligned reinforcements (BSTF, C.G.I., DRS, GUBBER, NPF, SC, SOL) to join in response. Firefighting broke out, where GMAP-aligned members had a K/D advantage. Most of the Coalition members started hiding, eventually erecting a large base. GMAP-aligned forces would attempt to raid it, but initially got pushed back due to the use of prop gun turrets. They told CL to stop, as it was against the rules, but CL claimed that they had already ceased using the weapons after being ordered to. Cat, the head admin, got on much later, and was informed about the armed Wire contraptions. He found the illegal contraptions after inspecting their base, and confronted CL about it. However, they denied using Wire whatsoever. Jeskov would also join the server, helping to investigate. Jeskov and Cat took screenshots to prove that CL did in fact have armed Wire, and only then did CL start removing the contraptions. CL also had an illegal invisible fan at the top of their base to push players off the roof, which they also denied as illegal. The battle went overnight, GMAP-aligned forces made a coordinated effort to assault the base once more, killing many Coalition forces in the process. The Coalition still gave GMAP-aligned forces a hard time with helicopters. GMAP-aligned forces pushed deeper into the Coalition's base, but in the heat of battle, the Coalition forces suddenly retreated, claiming victory. However, GMAP-aligned forces had a K/D of 255/244 (1.05), while the Coalition had a K/D of 204/255 (0.8), marking this battle as a victory for GMAP and NPF.

=== March 5, 2025 (GMAP Victory) ===
Later that day on March 5, while the map was still on rp_canadatown, Jarck would join to fight several GMAP-aligned forces (C.G.I., DRS, SC, SOL, and an unaffiliated militant). Though he initially gained air superiority with helicopters, the GMAP-aligned forces fought back with their own helicopters, gaining a K/D advantage with combined arms. Jarck resorted to spawning in a large, illegal base. It consisted of a platform, with many transparent segments above, acting as numerous fading doors. Only Sergei could manually open these, as keypads were not present, which was against the rules. Jarck had also told us that he won, because we couldn't raid his base, mocking GMAP's past victory declaration citing a similar reason. Immediately after he said that, he opened the fading doors, allowing Larry and Cat to jump in. Magi blew him up with helicopter missiles, and Larry and Cat occupied his base. Jarck spawned in many more of these bases after the initial capture, this time with keypads. However, he immediately got blown up again, resulting in him despawning most of them, leaving only two, which he would never use again. After he was repeatedly killed, he left, claiming that he had won. However, it was a GMAP-aligned victory, as not only did every NRK base get occupied, but the GMAP-aligned K/D was 108/79 (1.37), while NRK's was 49/59 (0.83).

=== March 6–7, 2025 (GMAP-KXMI Victory) ===
On March 6, CL and IW raided the server while GMAP members (BSTF, DRS, GUBBER, SC, and SOL) were already on. Firefights ensued, with GMAP having a better K/D. However, the map was changed to rp_rudmerge since multiple players were having technical issues with it. Most GMAP members would use helicopters to kill Coalition forces while on rp_rudmerge. GMAP members would maintain a K/D advantage throughout the battle, even as IW and NRK joined to support the Coalition. Meanwhile, rispali, who fought on behalf of NPF, joined to help GMAP. Jarck kept using the LVS Stinger against infantry, which was against the rules. Though he claimed it was an accident due to a bug, it happened extremely often, to the point where staff assumed it was not accidental. Additionally, no other players were doing this. As the battle dragged on late into the night, many GMAP members would have to sleep, since they are kids. Inversely, the Coalition would get even more reinforcements on. IW members spawned several fortifications, but GMAP never attempted to raid them. However, opposing forces would snipe and shoot missiles from within them. Fighting died down, with only Cat, miragegarden, and Larry left. Cat and Larry would stay on to not surrender, while miragegarden did the bulk of the fighting at the end. Despite facing 7 of them once, miragegarden was consistently able to kill them more, with minimal losses. The battle ended when the map changed, going overnight and lasting 6 hours in total. GMAP-aligned forces had a K/D of 531/517 (1.03), while the Coalition had a K/D of 463/540 (0.86), resulting in a decisive GMAP-aligned victory. Coalition forces remaining on the server into the late hours became a point of controversy, as GMAP accused them of dragging out fights to intentionally deprive them of sleep. The Coalition defended their actions stating that GMAP would declare victory if they left, even if they had a superior K/D, so they resolved to stay on for as long as possible.

=== Undocumented Battles (Coalition Victories) ===
There were three additional battles which occurred after March 6–7, which had been omitted from the record due to information warfare on the deprecated RFAI wiki. These three engagements were the last battles of the war, all of which were Coalition victories against GMAP, which had been declining significantly in activity on the server.

The most significant battle was the destruction of a DRS megabase on March 9 by using Jmod nuclear weaponry. The base was destroyed, and Caesar's Legion immediately spawned their base over where it was prior to its destruction. This marked the last major battle of the Theater campaign, as GMAP forces reduced their presence on the server which resulted in only small skirmishes afterward.

Up until late March, the Coalition maintained an occupation force on the server which went mostly unopposed. Caesar's Legion began a colonization effort on the server, successfully constructing a few settlements on the server with the help of a few server natives. Ludasian and token KATO forces prioritized a nuclear program in order to maintain a state of constant readiness in the event of a GMAP counterattack. GMAP and Пацанская Империя also manufactured nukes themselves and conducted nuclear testing following the nuclear bombing of their base on March 9. Eventually, the Coalition withdrew from the server out of self-proclaimed boredom.

== End of the War ==
After December 14, 2025, the Coalition stopped trying to contest Valen Sandbox. Additionally, after the previous battles, they would stop contesting Theater of Operations as well. The Coalition declared victory over GMAP on the basis that GMAP had ceased operations on Theater for two weeks straight. However, GMAP-KXMI forces won a significant majority of battles while maintaining a superior K/D, as well as maintaining control over Valen Sandbox. The Coalition's victory claim comes from differing definitions of the overall conflict, with the Coalition considering the Valen Invasion on December 14 and prior fights between CL and GMAP to be a separate conflict of its own. On the Theater front, the Coalition alleged that GMAP withdrew from the server after realizing that the Coalition was starting to consistently win battles, and sought to deny giving the Coalition any further wins to maintain an image of a perfect winning streak. Following this, the Coalition turned the bulk of its efforts towards testing ACF crew and preparing for the eventual [[The Great Gunny War|Great Gunny War]], which they launched on June 28.

The '''Great Weight War''' was a four-month conflict primarily fought between the Garry's Mod Alliance Pact (GMAP) and Koupii-X̃ɀʌ̄ͷιwэ-Modrik International (KXMI) against the Coalition, an alliance comprised of many Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization (KATO) and Petrograd Pact member states. The war lasted for around four months, in which fighting was inconsistent. Though it initially started on Valen Sandbox, the majority of battles took place on Theater of Operations. After prologned inactivity from GMAP, the Coalition unilaterally declared victory and withdrew. This war marked the end of a long-standing trend where the factions community could unanimously agree on a victor. The fact that both sides declared victory inspired the Coalition to launch the [[The Great Gunny War|Great Gunny War]] in June of 2025.

== Valen Sandbox ==
Throughout November of 2024, Caesar's Legion, a then IZK proxy group, made several incursions onto Valen sandbox. CL was met with significant resistance by GMAP forces occupying the server, inspiring increased technological development within the former. Despite rules against the use of facade armor (vehicles whose models do not accurately visually represent their armor layout), CL observed significant breaches in this rule by GMAP and IMR, and thus ignored it in their own designs. This sparked retaliatory escalation amongst GMAP and KXMI, heightening tensions. Throughout these engagements, GMAP repeatedly claimed victory on the grounds that CL was leaving the server, but these usually occurred after the battles had already concluded. This angered IZK, they became inspired to conduct a large scale assault on the server to strike a blow against GMAP.

=== Invasion of Valen (12/14/2024 - GMAP/KXMI Victory) ===
On December 14th, 2024, Izakia and its minor allies launched a full scale invasion of Valen sandbox. A joint GMAP-KXMI force consisting of Andosia, Skossia, and Yakugiria came to the server's defense. While Izakia enjoyed early successes, KXMI called the [[The Imperium|Imperium]] for reinforcements, which then dominated the battlefield with vtols and turned the battle in GMAP-KXMI's favor.

Izakia called off the invasion of Valen following IMR's intervention. During this time, Valen lacked major enforcement of its native ruleset, and IZK members had witnessed illegal technology being used on the server without staff intervention, thus prompting the assumption that using it back would not see any major retaliation due to the community presumably tolerating it. Following the end of the battle, the IZK-KATO sphere had considered the war to have ended prematurely, and this became the source of major disputes defining the beginning and end of a conflict between then Coalition and GMAP leadership.

== Forever War ==
Several engagements occurred between non-belligerent states and IZK in Mid-December of 2024 on the Forever War server. These included Jordi's Independent Denersian Union and Scanty's Pruvoslav Union. Though neither states were aligned with GMAP nor KXMI, GMAP claimed their participation as credit in their war effort.

== KATO Intervention ==
In January of 2025, relations between the Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization and GMAP broke down due to disagreements on the Imperium's involvement in GMAP affairs. KATO harbored strong animosity towards IMR due to their relationship with the Imperial Alliance at the time, and believed that IMR was attempting to influence GMAP on the Imperial Alliance's behalf. Due to the classified nature of the evidence KATO possessed, they were unable to disclose their findings, which heightened distrust within GMAP towards them. On January 27th, Jarck, the leader of NRK, accused GMAP of openly collaborating with the Imperium, and declared war. It was later learned during KATO-IMR diplomatic talks in February 2025 that IMR's presence in the GMAP sphere was, in reality, to counteract attempts by the [[Imperial Alliance]] to influence GMAP.

== Theater of Operations: Phase 1 ==

=== January 27–28, 2025 (GMAP Victory) ===
On the night of NRK's declaration of martial law on Theater of Operations, Black Star Task Force (BSTF) members Comrade Jeskov and miragegarden were playing on Theater of Operations on the map gm_fork_train, when KATO would launch a full-scale invasion, sending IKR, IW, and NRK forces on the server. Although the KATO members initially claimed they were just testing out the guns, they engaged BSTF first. Prockles and Magi, leaders of GUBBER and the Solar Imperium (SOL), respectively, joined to help BSTF defend the server, with Cat joining a little later as well. There was much infantry combat, mostly occurring within the city. Ape would oftentimes go into the forests to snipe. There were many helicopters in the air at many points of the battle, and miragegarden used a jet. In the middle of the battle, Prockles and Magi had to leave, due to it being late at night. Near the end, Grey515, another SOL leader, joined for fun, primarily using knuckledusters. The battle lasted around three hours, with it going overnight. It ended with KATO admitting defeat and leaving. GMAP's final K/D was 517/294 (1.76), while KATO's was 411/489 (0.84).

=== January 29–30, 2025 (GMAP Victory) ===
On January 29, only Jarck joined to attack, with the map being gm_fork_train again, citing that the rest of KATO didn't want to help due to them disliking the server's perk system. 3 GMAP members from BSTF, C.G.I., and SOL, who were already on the server, engaged him back until Jarck left with a very low K/D. That night, when the map was on gm_vyten, IZK leader Ilya joined under a different name, Cuban Sandwich. Several GMAP members were already playing on the server, and didn't engage him at first to pretend that they didn't know it was him. Additionally, more GMAP members joined preemptively just in case a large-scale battle would start. Ilya engaged Cat first by firing at his helicopter with an AA tank. BSTF, C.G.I., DRS, GAGR, GUBBER, and SOL deployed forces to defend, while additionally IZK, IW, and NRK forces were sent to invade. Various forces on both sides would join throughout the battle, with both scattered infantry and vehicle-based combat occurring throughout the map. Sergei spawned in his base, dubbed the Iron Dome, where he had an AA tank on the top surrounded by a translucent fading door dome, which he could activate at will to shoot out of it. Eventually, bill was able to kill Sergei and his spawnpoint using C4. The Iron Dome was shortly deleted after. IZK would utilize several makeshift vehicles, such as a HL2 jeep with props as armor, rigged with C4s, an APC with spinning rectuangular rods in the front to kill players, and small flying vehicles that they would fly up to act as sniping platforms. Near the end of the battle, GMAP made a base out of blast doors to defend against this assault. The battle once again went overnight and lasted 5 hours, ending when IZK-KATO forces left. GMAP's K/D was 670/722 (0.93), while the IZK-KATO K/D was 640/722 (0.89). With a higher K/D, GMAP had once again successfully defended against an invasion.

=== January 31-February 1, 2025 (Disputed Outcome) ===
On the night of January 31, two NRK members, Jarck and Paloma, would join to engage several GMAP members who were already on while the map was on gm_highland. Jarck would fight around the outside of the map, while Paloma would stay near the South (front) entrance of the bunker with a minigun. The battle was initially in NRK's favor, as the GMAP members were uncoordinated, falling victim to NRK many times, primarily due to Paloma and his minigun. GMAP forces eventually pushed into the bunker, establishing a foothold in there. Paloma and Sergei would rush in, using grenade launchers loaded with sticky and incendiary grenades, as well as using gas grenades to flush out the GMAP forces. They successfully killed many of the GMAP members in the process, but they set their spawns and held their ground. GMAP started fortifying their bunker, turning it into their base. NRK started raiding the base, with more reinforcements on both sides coming to assist. BSTF, C.G.I., DRS, GUBBER, SOL, SC, and YSR were on GMAP's side, while IKR, IW, and NRK were fighting for KATO. Much fighting occurred, but KATO forces were never able to take over the base. There was a lull in combat, until KATO forces used the JMod Toolbox to break down the walls of the base while the GMAP forces were distracted. A large firefight ensued, in which GMAP flushed all KATO forces out of the base. The battle once again went overnight, lasting for four hours until all KATO forces left. The results of this battle were inconclusive. On one hand, GMAP considers this a victory, as KATO was never able to successfully raid their base. On the other hand, KATO considers this a victory, as they claimed KATO and GMAP's K/Ds to be 365/233 (1.56) and 185/444 (0.42), respectively. KATO accused GMAP of shifting the goalposts after they lost in K/D by citing the fact that their base was not successfully raided.

=== February 1, 2025 (GMAP-KXMI-SC Victory) ===
Later that day, on February 1, GMAP players (BSTF, C.G.I., DRS, and GUBBER) would be playing on gm_highland, collecting JMod resources. They had upgraded their bunker base from the prior battle and were preparing for another potential invasion. At the time, Paloma was also on the server, but did not engage. However, Jarck joined, creating a squad, and starting the battle. Heavy fighting occurred, with Paloma trying to kill people within the base, GMAP trying to defend it and the many JMod resources inside, and miragegarden going outside to kill the NRK members. Paloma made use of the new guns on the server - much more powerful than regular ones, but had to be bought through in-game currency. Omegatrion of IW would also join to help NRK, while computeration and Corvus of SC and NPF, respectively, would join to help GMAP. Most GMAP members were relegated to defending the base. Cat, miragegarden, and occasionally Corvus and computeration, would patrol outside, hunting KATO members to great success. Sergei would eventually spawn a tall, black base directly in front of GMAP's bunker. It had one-way props as windows to shoot from, but was otherwise impenetrable by small arms fire. However, miragegarden noticed that there was on entrance on the roof, which acted as a door. Using a breaching charge, Cat and miragegarden breached the base, and before they could kill Jarck, he kill binded. The roof was rigged with C4s, which Jarck triggered, destroying his own spawn and killing Cat. However, miragegarden remained alive, capturing the base. The base was then deleted immediately, with Omegatrion and Paloma shortly leaving after. Sergei spawned the exact same base again. However, it was quickly taken over by Cat and Corvus who settled down in his base. Fighting died down shortly after, with the server restarting, ending the battle. GMAP successfully defended their base, while taking over the two KATO bases that were spawned. Additionally, GMAP's K/D was 89/105 (0.85), while KATO's was 45/71 (0.63), making the battle a GMAP victory.

=== February 2–3, 2025 (GMAP-KXMI Victory) ===
On the night of February 2, GUBBER members and an NPF member were playing on gm_highland when IZK leader Ilya joined. An IMR member was also on, but didn't initially get involved. C.G.I. and SOL leaders joined in response, with IMR, YSR, another NPF member, and an unaffiliated militant supporting them later in the battle. An additional IZK member and Omegatrion of IW would join to help Ilya. Typical fighting occurred, with people killing each other around the map. GMAP forces were consistently able to get more kills against IZK and IW forces. Around the middle of the battle, Cat was able to handcuff Ilya. He was taken to the bunker and was kept in a room, with most of the GMAP-KXMI forces guarding him. Cat jerry-rigged some fortifications, blocking off one side of the outside hallway, and making a fading door on the other side. Omegatrion would attempt to break in multiple times, but was never able to, being killed by GMAP-KXMI defenses. Eventually, Ilya was almost able to break out of the handcuffs, so he was executed, and regular fighting resumed. The battle went overnight, lasted 4 hours, and ended when IZK and IW forces left. The combined GMAP-KXMI K/D was 207/187 (1.11), and IZK and KATO's combined K/D was 63/101 (0.62), resulting in a GMAP-KXMI victory.

=== February 4, 2025 (GMAP Victory) ===
On February 4, the map was once again on gm_highland. Though Comrade Jeskov was not participating in the battle, miragegarden was still fighting IZK on behalf of BSTF. GUBBER leader Prockles joined the server, and got jumped by the six IZK-aligned members. Four of them were officially part of IZK, while the two others were in their squad and actively helped them throughout the battle. One of the two non-IZK members included Sukhoi, a former IMR member who was removed after doxxing people. KATO later disclosed to IMR that IZK had no knowledge of Sukhoi's doxxing incident, nor who he was. Despite the overwhelming odds, miragegarden and Prockles was able to effectively fight them, with Prockles assaulting their base with an RPG-7 from a hilltop. Note that one of the IZK-aligned members, crap, broke the rules three times by destroying Prockles' helicopter while it was grounded. The battle ended with prockles having a 124/86 (1.44) K/D, and the IZK-aligned members having a 98/157 (0.62) K/D, a victory for BSTF and GUBBER, despite being heavily outnumbered.

== Theater of Operations: Phase 2 ==
Following the battle on February 4, IZK-KATO forces would be completely inactive on Theater of Operations. However, the invasion would resume on March 4, with IZK invading as Caesar's Legion once again. GMAP-NPF forces would once again win the majority battles, and the IZK-KATO forces withdrew from Theater of Operations after these battles.

=== March 4–5, 2025 (GMAP-KXMI Victory) ===
On the night of March 4, while the map was on rp_canadatown, several Coalition members (CL, IKR, IW, NRK) joined the server all at once, prompting GMAP-aligned reinforcements (BSTF, C.G.I., DRS, GUBBER, NPF, SC, SOL) to join in response. Firefighting broke out, where GMAP-aligned members had a K/D advantage. Most of the Coalition members started hiding, eventually erecting a large base. GMAP-aligned forces would attempt to raid it, but initially got pushed back due to the use of prop gun turrets. They told CL to stop, as it was against the rules, but CL claimed that they had already ceased using the weapons after being ordered to. Cat, the head admin, got on much later, and was informed about the armed Wire contraptions. He found the illegal contraptions after inspecting their base, and confronted CL about it. However, they denied using Wire whatsoever. Jeskov would also join the server, helping to investigate. Jeskov and Cat took screenshots to prove that CL did in fact have armed Wire, and only then did CL start removing the contraptions. CL also had an illegal invisible fan at the top of their base to push players off the roof, which they also denied as illegal. The battle went overnight, GMAP-aligned forces made a coordinated effort to assault the base once more, killing many Coalition forces in the process. The Coalition still gave GMAP-aligned forces a hard time with helicopters. GMAP-aligned forces pushed deeper into the Coalition's base, but in the heat of battle, the Coalition forces suddenly retreated, claiming victory. However, GMAP-aligned forces had a K/D of 255/244 (1.05), while the Coalition had a K/D of 204/255 (0.8), marking this battle as a victory for GMAP and NPF.

=== March 5, 2025 (GMAP Victory) ===
Later that day on March 5, while the map was still on rp_canadatown, Jarck would join to fight several GMAP-aligned forces (C.G.I., DRS, SC, SOL, and an unaffiliated militant). Though he initially gained air superiority with helicopters, the GMAP-aligned forces fought back with their own helicopters, gaining a K/D advantage with combined arms. Jarck resorted to spawning in a large, illegal base. It consisted of a platform, with many transparent segments above, acting as numerous fading doors. Only Sergei could manually open these, as keypads were not present, which was against the rules. Jarck had also told us that he won, because we couldn't raid his base, mocking GMAP's past victory declaration citing a similar reason. Immediately after he said that, he opened the fading doors, allowing Larry and Cat to jump in. Magi blew him up with helicopter missiles, and Larry and Cat occupied his base. Jarck spawned in many more of these bases after the initial capture, this time with keypads. However, he immediately got blown up again, resulting in him despawning most of them, leaving only two, which he would never use again. After he was repeatedly killed, he left, claiming that he had won. However, it was a GMAP-aligned victory, as not only did every NRK base get occupied, but the GMAP-aligned K/D was 108/79 (1.37), while NRK's was 49/59 (0.83).

=== March 6–7, 2025 (GMAP-KXMI Victory) ===
On March 6, CL and IW raided the server while GMAP members (BSTF, DRS, GUBBER, SC, and SOL) were already on. Firefights ensued, with GMAP having a better K/D. However, the map was changed to rp_rudmerge since multiple players were having technical issues with it. Most GMAP members would use helicopters to kill Coalition forces while on rp_rudmerge. GMAP members would maintain a K/D advantage throughout the battle, even as IW and NRK joined to support the Coalition. Meanwhile, rispali, who fought on behalf of NPF, joined to help GMAP. Jarck kept using the LVS Stinger against infantry, which was against the rules. Though he claimed it was an accident due to a bug, it happened extremely often, to the point where staff assumed it was not accidental. Additionally, no other players were doing this. As the battle dragged on late into the night, many GMAP members would have to sleep, since they are kids. Inversely, the Coalition would get even more reinforcements on. IW members spawned several fortifications, but GMAP never attempted to raid them. However, opposing forces would snipe and shoot missiles from within them. Fighting died down, with only Cat, miragegarden, and Larry left. Cat and Larry would stay on to not surrender, while miragegarden did the bulk of the fighting at the end. Despite facing 7 of them once, miragegarden was consistently able to kill them more, with minimal losses. The battle ended when the map changed, going overnight and lasting 6 hours in total. GMAP-aligned forces had a K/D of 531/517 (1.03), while the Coalition had a K/D of 463/540 (0.86), resulting in a decisive GMAP-aligned victory. Coalition forces remaining on the server into the late hours became a point of controversy, as GMAP accused them of dragging out fights to intentionally deprive them of sleep. The Coalition defended their actions stating that GMAP would declare victory if they left, even if they had a superior K/D, so they resolved to stay on for as long as possible.

=== Undocumented Battles (Coalition Victories) ===
There were three additional battles which occurred after March 6–7. The most significant battle was the destruction of a DRS megabase on March 9 by using Jmod nuclear weaponry. The base was destroyed, and Caesar's Legion immediately spawned their base over where it was prior to its destruction. This marked the last major battle of the Theater campaign, as GMAP forces reduced their presence on the server which resulted in only small skirmishes afterward. Up until late March, the Coalition had a minor presence on the server. Caesar's Legion began a colonization effort on the server, successfully constructing a few settlements on the server with the help of a few server natives. Ludasian and token KATO forces prioritized a nuclear program in order to maintain a state of constant readiness in the event of a GMAP counterattack. GMAP and Пацанская Империя also manufactured nukes themselves and conducted nuclear testing following the nuclear bombing of their base on March 9. Eventually, the Coalition withdrew from the server out of self-proclaimed boredom.

== End of the War ==
After December 14, 2025, the Coalition stopped trying to contest Valen Sandbox. Additionally, after the previous battles, they would stop contesting Theater of Operations as well. Despite this the Coalition declared victory over GMAP on the basis that GMAP had ceased operations on Theater for two weeks straight. However, GMAP-KXMI forces won a significant majority of battles while maintaining a superior K/D, as well as maintaining control over contested territory. The Coalition's victory claim comes from differing definitions of the overall conflict, with the Coalition considering the Valen Invasion on December 14 to be a separate conflict of its own. A majority of Coalition members considered the battles on Theater of Operations to be a separate conflict as well, despite the majority of battles occurring on there. They alleged that GMAP withdrew from the server, despite GMAP and its allies still playing on it, though in minimal numbers. They used this as a justification to declare victory, and withdrew, claiming that they were bored. Following this, the Coalition turned the bulk of its efforts towards testing ACF crew and preparing for the eventual [[The Great Gunny War|Great Gunny War]], which they launched on June 28.

Cat-Gopher Industries

2026-06-02T22:39:10Z

Phil2014:

'''Cat-Gopher Industries''' ('''C.G.I.''') was founded by CatGopher98 on the server [[Under the Crosshairs|Under the Crosshairs (UTX)]]. C.G.I. is known for its high member count and well-trained infantry, but fell short in domestic technology and relied on allies' exports. It is generally a friendly faction, making numerous connections and only targeting groups that were harmful towards other players. Notably, most of the wars C.G.I. participated in resulted in victories, and some resulted in peace.

==History==

===First UTX War (August - Late 2016)===
{{Main|First UTX War}}
[[File:Interpretation.png|thumb|220x220px|A player's interpretation of the power Derpy-Canadian had]]
C.G.I. was founded on the Garry's Mod server called [[Under the Crosshairs|Under the Crosshairs (UTX)]]. The [[Brotherhood of Steel]] was the first faction they fought. It was a dictatorship made up of a group of staff who oppressed players by using their powers led by Derpy-Canadian, who was an admin at the time. CatGopher98 tried fighting back, and people started to join his cause. They decided to make an official faction called Cat-Gopher Industries (C.G.I.). Though they had more people steadily joining, it seemed like a lost cause since most of the Brotherhood of Steel members had admin powers. Eventually, they found out that the [[405th Attack Battalion|405th Clone Trooper Legion (405th)]], a branch of [[The Grand Army of The Galactic Republic|The Grand Army of The Galactic Republic (GGR)]], was also fighting the Brotherhood of Steel.<ref>https://steamcommunity.com/groups/405CTL/announcements/detail/601615916716233663</ref> C.G.I. formed their first alliance with the 405th, who they went on multiple joint operations with. Despite all odds, they were able to hit the Brotherhood of Steel hard enough that they surrendered.

===Second UTX War (November 2016 - May 2017)===
{{Main|Second UTX War}}
[[File:Propaganda.png|thumb|220x220px|A.D.F. propaganda with blood splattered over it]]
The Brotherhood of Steel merged into the [[Admin Defense Force/Armoda Defensive Favonian|Admin Defense Force/Armoda Defensive Favonian (A.D.F.)]].<ref>https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/610050008422547486/820731308858408970/unknown.png</ref> With many of the same members and goals, it was a war waiting to happen. After C.G.I. was engaged in a battle with A.D.F., C.G.I. declared war.<ref>https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/610050008422547486/820725706601529354/unknown.png</ref> During this war, many new minor factions arose on UTX. The [[Republic of Users]] was initially a group that allied with C.G.I. but betrayed them in a surprise attack. Another group was [[the fbi of under the crosshairs]], which wanted to destroy both C.G.I. and A.D.F. at once<ref>https://steamcommunity.com/groups/simplejackisdead</ref> but failed once C.G.I. forces crushed them. The 405th also played a role in assisting C.G.I. and its allies. Though much bigger, skilled, and technologically advanced than before, this war looked like another losing battle since A.D.F. still had staff powers. However, due to a successful spy campaign against them and the introduction of [[The faction frontiers|the faction frontiers (T.F.F)]], A.D.F. was put into a weakened state. At first, members of A.D.F. left to create their own group called [[P.H.A.N.T.O.M.]], which sought to rebel against the faction from which they came.<ref>https://steamcommunity.com/groups/FunHouseOfDoom/discussions/0/2741975115067160345/</ref><ref>https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/610050008422547486/820732443912175626/unknown.png</ref> Furthermore, C.G.I. and A.D.F. agreed to a temporary peace treaty to fight T.F.F<ref>https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/610050008422547486/820728037569069065/unknown.png</ref> since it was a terrorist faction getting out of hand.<ref>https://steamcommunity.com/groups/mf45</ref> Considering the corruption and instability of A.D.F., this caused them to die out and form a new, friendly faction called [[Amnach Valkaria|Amnach Valkaria (AV)]], rendering C.G.I. victorious once again.<ref>https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/610050008422547486/820727283287326780/unknown.png</ref>

===Post-UTX War (May - August 2017)===
''Further information: [[C.G.I. - B.F.S. War]]''
[[File:Cgigroup.png|thumb|220x220px|A small post-war gathering of C.G.I. members at an outpost]]
[[File:Hound.png|thumb|220x220px|An MG79 Hound]]
This was a time of new, rising factions, some of which tried to go to war with the now dominating C.G.I. faction on the server. Although C.G.I. technically was introduced to ACF, they would never do much with it until they expanded to different servers. During this time, the server owner shut down the server forever with no prior warning. Luckily, Octo, a staff member, unofficially rebooted Under the Crosshairs (UTC).<ref>https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/610050008422547486/820739247953674302/unknown.png</ref> At this point, the spy campaign on T.F.F had come to an end, with everyone but two remaining members of T.F.F defecting from it.<ref>https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/610050008422547486/820750683853946970/unknown.png</ref> This caused T.F.F to finally surrender to C.G.I., ending all hostilities that started during the Second UTX War.

Although the new factions had potential, they all fell into obscurity or were defeated. For example, [[Technological Extravegent and Constantly Hostile|Technological Extravegent and Constantly Hostile (T.E.C.H.)]] was a seemingly powerful terrorist faction that claimed to possess of powerful technology. They offered to ally with C.G.I. to fight P.H.A.N.T.O.M. and AV. However, this would mean that C.G.I. would have to betray two of its allies, which would not be tolerable. This caused C.G.I. to start using physiological warfare on T.E.C.H. by pretending to accept their offer. C.G.I. would then warn their real allies about the new threat. However, due to lack of activity, they never went to war with C.G.I. and died out.

The other most notable faction during this time was the [[Brute Force Squad|Brute Force Squad (B.F.S.)]]. This faction was created solely to go to war with C.G.I. and cause trouble. Though their leader put up a good fight, they were ultimately defeated, thus ending the [[C.G.I. - B.F.S. War]]. During a battle between C.G.I. and B.F.S., a small skirmish is had between C.G.I. and a new faction, [[Mercenary Group 79|Mercenary Group 79 (MG79)]]. Different reports contradict each other, most saying that MG79 fired upon C.G.I. members first, and one saying that C.G.I. fired first. There is no documentation of MG79 after this incident. Although these minor conflicts were fought, nothing extremely significant happened to affect C.G.I.'s growth.

===Involvement in ACF (August - October 2017)===
[[File:Cgiks.png|thumb|220x220px|C.G.I. and K.S. going on a joint operation]]
No major wars were fought in this period on C.G.I.’s part. Although they got dragged into a war between [[Assault Expeditionary Force|RFAI]] and [[Izakia|IZK]], which would be considered a huge deal, they barely participated in it and chose to pursue peace instead.<ref>https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/610050008422547486/820772930283503616/unknown.png</ref><ref>https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/610050008422547486/820773292495208478/unknown.png</ref> The most important part of this time was C.G.I.’s first real experience with ACF. Engineers began working on new technology and weaponry that would potentially be used in future wars. C.G.I. also got introduced to the world stage and many new and powerful factions. They would later on form alliances, which would be crucial for future events.

===ISA War (October - December 2017)===
{{Main|Sandbox Continental War}}
[[File:Isacgi.png|thumb|220x220px|ISA using ACF aircraft to slaughter people at spawn]]
This is the hardest-fought war in which C.G.I. was involved. Mainly fought on unfamiliar territory, Trump's Hair, C.G.I. struggled much in this war. [[Inner Sphere Alliance|ISA]] was one of the most technologically advanced groups at the time, and C.G.I. initially went toe to toe with them. Although C.G.I. lost battle after battle (and won a few major ones), allies with more powerful technology assisted them. The conflict turned into a big deal across GMod as the most powerful factions were clashing against each other. However, it seemed like allied intervention wouldn't be enough to stop ISA, as they had powerful technology and skilled members. However, several events like ISA being banned for rule breaking and internal conflicts resulted in a surprising downfall of ISA. Again, C.G.I. won another war facing insurmountable odds. However, this time it seemed to be because of luck since C.G.I. wasn't aware of ISA's instability.

=== Steam Group Incident (October 2017 - January 2018) ===
On October 14, [[Nuklearlemon|Nuklearburrito]] joined C.G.I. as an assault soldier. He didn't do much until December 31, where he was somehow able to delete all of C.G.I.'s announcements in its Steam group. It was seen as a huge breach of privacy and trust, which is why he was kicked from it the next day. On January 13, 2018, CatGopher98 announced that action would be taken against Nuklearburrito. A war was fought between C.G.I. and Nuklearburrito's faction, though any specifics of this were not documented. The effects of the original incident are apparent today, as much information was in the form of the announcements that were deleted long ago. A substantial amount of C.G.I. history was lost because of this.

===SCI War (January - June 2018)===

{{Main|SCI War}}
[[File:Vehiclechase.png|thumb|220x220px|The C.G.I. and Coalition leaders go toe to toe in a vehicle chase]]
Though not a challenging enemy, the [[Coalition]], made up of [[United Legion of SCI|SDF]], [[102nd "Red Foxes" Combined Military Forces|FOXCBM]], [[Kaxlathian Empire|KAX]], and [[The SCI Militia|Militia]], was stubborn, controversial, and refused to accept their losses due to raging disputes with C.G.I. This was a war where C.G.I. had the upper hand in numbers, being able to overwhelm Coalition forces on some occasions. In the late summer of 2018, the ULSCI was banned from the [[Simply Captain Icky's Servers|SCI servers]].<ref>https://steamcommunity.com/groups/United_Legion/announcements/detail/1645380847058668823</ref><ref>https://steamcommunity.com/groups/scimilitiaatsciservers/announcements/detail/2514579541913201676</ref> Coalition forces had no choice but to land on UTC, C.G.I.'s home server. They managed to hold it for a while before C.G.I. and the Guardians of UTC noticed and were able to successfully defend against this invasion.<ref>https://steamcommunity.com/groups/United_Legion/announcements/detail/3785717301377061032</ref> Along with more allied intervention and internal conflicts, the Coalition was unable to recover. Because of this, C.G.I. offered peace at the end, thus ending the war.<ref>https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/610050008422547486/820770658635743252/unknown.png</ref><ref>https://steamcommunity.com/groups/United_Legion/announcements/detail/1644258118068539078</ref>

=== Peacekeeper Revolt (March 2018) ===
During the SCI War, the Coalition was losing the war, so they made a peace offering to C.G.I. on March 6, 2018. A vote was held in C.G.I. on whether to accept the offering or not. Though the majority of the members decided to continue the war, two members were angered by the results, claiming that their voices were being silenced. These members were Draggy~ and Puffin The Muffin, who were both officers and peacekeepers at the time. They made their own split group called [[The Peacekeepers]] and tried to convince other C.G.I. members to join them. However, they were promptly kicked from the C.G.I. Discord server, CatGopher98 making any members in The Peacekeepers Discord server KOS. Additionally, bounties were made, targeting Draggy~ and Puffin. The Peacekeepers Discord server was also raided by IZK, RFAS, and NUF, which greatly demoralized them and ultimately caused them to disband. The bounty on Puffin was eventually lifted, and he was let back in on August 14, 2018, at the beginning of the EI - GMAP War. Though Draggy~ didn't get the same treatment, she and CatGopher98 privately made amends in 2020.

===Post-SCI War (June - July 2018)===
''Further information: [[Coalition Civil War]], [[C.G.I. - FTL War]], and [[C.G.I. - Coalition War]]''
[[File:Foxcmbtank.png|thumb|220x220px|A destroyed FOXCBM tank during the Coalition Civil War]]
Due to the Coalition's instability, immediately after the [[SCI War]] ended, FOX declared war on SDF following a collapse of communications and extreme tensions<ref>https://steamcommunity.com/groups/United_Legion/announcements/detail/1676911120103061774</ref> An unlikely bond was formed between C.G.I. and SDF, and C.G.I. agreed to assist them in defeating FOX in what would be known as the [[Coalition Civil War]].<ref>https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/610050008422547486/820771114304143400/unknown.png</ref> After a few minor battles, SDF and FOX agreed to peace. After this, besides a few skirmishes with terrorists, the only other actual faction C.G.I. went against was [[FTL]].<ref>https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/610050008422547486/820771641016713267/unknown.png</ref> However, the [[C.G.I. - FTL War]] was a minor war that was won in just eight days.<ref>https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/610050008422547486/820771924417314846/unknown.png</ref> C.G.I. went on to find more allies, and CatGopher98's coalition, [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|Garry's Mod Alliance Pact (GMAP)]], began to gain traction. This would set the stage for the next war as SDF and FOXCBM declared war on C.G.I. yet again in the [[C.G.I. - Coalition War]].<ref>https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/610050008422547486/820772186456850462/unknown.png</ref><ref>https://steamcommunity.com/groups/United_Legion/announcements/detail/1658898622985776034</ref>

===EI - GMAP War (July - November 2018)===
{{Main|EI - GMAP War}}
[[File:GMAPairbattle.png|thumb|220x220px|A major air battle being fought]]
Although many factions were involved in the ISA war, this war seemed to have the most groups involved by far. This is the war where C.G.I. started to fall behind in technology and marked the beginning of the end for them. Luckily, they had allies and were the major power in [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] since it was founded by CatGopher98. This enabled C.G.I. to have access to powerful technology, courtesy of member states and allies. Though the EI member states were also getting more advanced in technology, the outcome seemed similar to the previous, since GMAP was winning battle after battle. However, Elias, known for being manipulative in the community, started to spread lies about CatGopher98 and took advantage of his power. This resulted in GMAP and EI working together to put a stop to Elias.<ref>https://steamcommunity.com/groups/United_Legion/announcements/detail/2899651197358958367</ref>

===Post-EI - GMAP War & Hibernation (Late 2018 - Late 2019)===
C.G.I. could not rely on its allies and GMAP for much longer. They lacked knowledge in ACF, which was one of the significant factors of their downfall. Furthermore, their leader disappeared without prior notice, leaving them without a source of leadership or direction. Eventually, C.G.I. faded into obscurity and rarely participated in world affairs until GMAP was reformed around a year later.

===Revival & Task Force 141 (Late 2019 - Present)g===
[[File:Gmapstates.png|thumb|220x220px|Map of GMAP member state territories on USG, with C.G.I.'s claims at the bottom]]
Originally called the C.G.I. Task Force, Task Force 141 is a small group under C.G.I. that is named after the one in the ''Call of Duty: Modern Warfare'' trilogy. The task force is made up of old C.G.I. members and has a similar structure to the overarching group with changes to make it more simplistic. However, it would not see any action until much later. Much time would pass until GMAP was revived. Some of the old members, including C.G.I., stayed in the alliance. They even went so far as to claim and split up territory in the US Gaming server. Shortly after, the [[Orzel Republics]], another alliance, declared war on GMAP, with C.G.I. being involved. Despite this, battles were rarely fought, and the two coalitions had little to no interaction with each other. However, Orzeł disbanded, leaving C.G.I. and the rest of GMAP victorious. Although C.G.I. as a whole remains relatively dormant, Task Force 141 has begun to operate on a new wave of SCI imitation servers, which it has successfully claimed. Unfortunately, the servers have lost activity over time. Now, while many old C.G.I. members join the ranks of the task force, it waits for new opportunities to arise.

===World War IV (April - August 2021)===
{{Main|World War IV}}
[[File:Gmapgroup.png|thumb|220x220px|GMAP forces display their flags after defeating Orzel on FGC]]
After hearing about the [[Imperial Alliance|Imperial Alliance (IA)]] and ULSCI's treatment of the [[1-47 Union|1-47 Union (1-47)]], C.G.I. talked to a variety of other factions and began conspiring against 1-47's attackers. They also heard that ACA was being attacked by the same factions, so the C.G.I. and CTF leaders also contacted ACA about supporting them against an invasion. Tensions began to rise as ULSCI found out that C.G.I. was spying and IA members were sending cryptic messages in the faction hub Discord server. The situation hit the boiling point when the [[NRK|Kakestania (NRK)]] leader, Sergei, was involved in raiding CatGopher98's college Discord server with offensive remarks and revealing his state to the hub. This caused many factions, mainly GMAP member states and FGC-based factions, to declare war on IA and its allies. It was later revealed that IA and its allied were all part of Orzeł. Many GMAP-aligned factions promptly went on the offensive, invading Colurful Crew, while the rest, including C.G.I., focused their efforts on defending their home servers from attacks. The fighting of the war has died down, with the majority of victories belonging to the GMAP-aligned forces. Most of Orzel has become inactive or given up on the war and moved to DakTank. Peace was officially declared by both sides on August 1, leaving no victors.

===Six-Gate Controversy (July 2021)===
{{Main|Six-Gate Conspiracy}}

[[Grand Duchess Lilith|Six of Nine]], leader of the [[New Byzantium|Orovian Republic (OR)]] and [[Obsidian Order|Obsidian Order (OO)]] was speculated to be the same person as Mathias. Many factions, including C.G.I., investigated this and quickly confirmed this. Due to the distrust of Six after trying to make a fake identity, he was ordered to make OR and OO under GMAP administration. Additionally, as CatGopher98 was the elected Head of State for both of these factions, he and Six agreed to make them into subsidiary factions under C.G.I., forming the [[United Orion Coalition|United Orion Coalition (UOC)]] along with it to keep communication close. However, the UOC would quickly be disbanded and upon OR's reformation into New Byzantium, the partnership was dropped.

===Room Temperature War (August - November 2021)===
{{Main|Room Temperature War}}

With World War IV being over, Elias made amends with Orzel and was ready to leave the meta. He made a public statement about his departure and also claimed that his mother was in the hospital. Before this, there was a plan by member states of the Grand 6 to backstab NG. Elias discovered this, and decided to go to war with GA with the help of Orzel. Elias went on to leak the GA and SGR Discord servers in the Garry's Mod Faction Hub. Due to the GA server having personal information in it, he was removed from the Faction Hub server. He also used his mother's illness to claim a victory despite his claims that he had left the meta, which angered many members of the community. C.G.I. had a personal vendetta against Elias for the actions he had committed in 2018. However, they weren't involved much in active combat. Instead, they planted moles within NG, relaying information back to their allies. During the war, Orzel split into two different alliances, one aligning with GMAP and GA and the other supporting NG. Eventually, a video was released that exposed Elias of the many malicious things he has done to the community. This caused Elias to finally leave Garry's Mod, ending the Room Temperature War with a win for GMAP, GA, and what is now recognized as the true Orzel Republics.

===Disbandment (November 2021)===
Ever since the community's revival in the summer of 2021, there have been many new factions. CatGopher98 having more real-life obligations, he trusted the new factions to fulfill C.G.I.'s purpose. After Elias was defeated and ousted by the community, CatGopher98 received closure for Elias' betrayal to GMAP during the [[EI - GMAP War]]. On November 11, he decided to leave the community and disband C.G.I. for good, as he believed that C.G.I. had made a lasting impact in Garry's Mod. C.G.I.'s influence is still apparent as GMAP and GA would merge into the [[Grand Garry's Mod Alliance|Grand Garry's Mod Alliance (GGMA)]]. Former C.G.I. members who wanted to continue their duties but didn't want to join other factions were designated as GGMA soldiers. This is similar to how there were GMAP soldiers who weren't part of any faction.

=== One Hour War (February 2022) ===
{{Main|One Hour War}}
[[File:Gpsedeclaration.png|thumb|220x220px|GPSE's declaration of war]]
After 4 year since [[Nuklearlemon|Nuklearburrito's]] deletion of the C.G.I. Steam group's announcements, he returned to Garry's Mod. GGMA's Security Council and CatGopher98 saw his sudden return as suspicious and began monitoring his actions. He immediately made contact with xenoscoot and joined ACA. He tried to overthrow scoot as the leader, which the members condemned. However, Nuklear claimed that he was joking. He also joined the [[Greater Kingdom of Prussia]], where he had an idea to merge many factions together, forming the [[Greater Prusso-Scandinavian Empire|Greater Prusso-Scandinavian Empire (GPSE)]]. These sudden actions with no clear motive concerned the GGMA Security Council, and negotiations involving GGMA, GPSE, and CatGopher98 began. These talks would end disastrously as Nuklear would go on to blame others for his actions from the past and even deny that he ever attacked C.G.I. despite being shown clear evidence. Eventually, xenoscoot and [[I like Prussia]] negotiated peaceful terms, where Prussia said that he would demote Nuklear. Despite this, GPSE would vote on going to war with the newly reformed [[Valksdeutsch Ascendancy|Valksdeutsch Ascendancy (VA)]], though due to poor wording, it seemed like he also declared war on ACA and C.G.I., even though the latter was still disbanded. This sudden declaration of war involving an old enemy spurred C.G.I. to temporarily be reinstated. ACA came to VA's aid, which GPSE did not expect. In less than an hour after the initial declaration of war, GPSE surrendered, which the three allied factions accepted. GPSE also demoted Nuklear, as per the original GGMA demands. C.G.I. plans on remaining active until Nuklear is no longer considered a threat.

=== Comedium Incursions (March 2022) ===
{{Main|Comedium Incursions}}

One of GPSE's members started a rebellion, which Nuklearburrito joined. This ultimate lead to Nuklear being exiled from GPSE. A few days later, he announced the existence of his alliance called [[The Comedium]], with the goal of ending the Garry's Mod meta as a whole. He immediately declared war on GGMA and tried to invade Weedbox twice. The Comedium was small at the time, and was ultimately defeated both times by GGMA's superior defenses. The war came to a close when Nuklear became unwilling to invade or even fight again. [[Canadonia]], the only participating Comedium member state, was also dissolved. With no one else to fight, GGMA was victorious.

=== GGMA - VE War (March 2022) ===
{{Main|GGMA - VE War}}

Sigma split off from the [[Norse Union|Norse Union (UNSR)]], creating the [[Shotlite Industries|Viserbian Empire (VE)]] and started a conflict with the entirety of GGMA. They immediately tried to invade Weedbox but only one member participated in this attack. VE was met by overwhelming resistance from a few GGMA member states, including C.G.I., which ultimately resulted in a VE loss due to failing to control the server and the member getting banned due to breaking server rules. Because of losing their first battle, Sigma almost disbanded VE, but ultimately handed leadership off to Bishop822. Bishop, being a C.G.I. member, ended the war by making peace with GGMA and reformed VE into what is now known as [[Shotlite Industries]].

=== The Intrepid Conflict (April 2022) ===
{{Main|The Intrepid Conflict}}

At this point in time, Maren has already made numerous factions while provoking GGMA. When faced with conflict, Maren would create new factions to avoid fighting. Seeing this pattern, GGMA started a vote to declare war on any subsequent factions Maren would make, with Intrepid AS being the latest one. Maren immediately disbanded Intrepid AS and surrendered to GGMA, with the conditions of dissolving any of their groups and being barred from creating further entities. They were also restricted from joining any factions that belong to Nuklearlemon.

=== The Jordevastation (April - May 2024) ===
{{Main|The Jordevastation}}

After a hiatus of 2 years, C.G.I. decided to increase its activity. C.G.I. would create alliances with the United Alliance Task Force (UATF) and the Black Owls of Jhunal (BOJ). In the following weeks, tensions rose between them and the Independent Denersian Union (IDU). The war officially started when IDU decided to invade UATF's home server, Theater of Operations. C.G.I., UATF, BOJ, and another faction called SPEAR would be victorious in every battle until IDU conceded to invading the server. C.G.I. would decide to go on the offensive, joining the Democratic Republic of Scotland (DRS) in combat against IDU, who were also active on That Sandbox. With superior technology, allied forces would also win every battle there. The final battle occurred on the server that IDU owned, with C.G.I. forces invading them. However, after multiple instances of admin abuse by IDU, the battle was considered a victory. Allied forces would refuse to touch this server again due to instances of dupe stealing and admin abuse. IDU would rebrand into the Engineering Task Force (ETF) under the guise of the former being an entirely new faction. Since they were pushed out of all of their territories save for their own server and refused to fight anymore, GMAP declared victory over ETF, ending the war.

===GMAP - TF27 War (June - June 2024)===

===The Jordevastation II (June - August 2024)===
{{Main|The Jordevastation II}}

===NPCZ Clash of Clans (August 2024) ===
{{Main|NPCZ Clash of Clans}}

When GMAP extended its reach to [[NPC Zombies Vs. Players|NPC Zombies Vs. Players (NPCZ)]], it was met with resistance by [[Hydra's Death Squad|Hydra's Death Squad (HDS)]] and [[BWA|BlackWatchArmy (BWA)]]. Much heavy fighting occurred, with GMAP and its allies winning key battles, leading to the disbandment of HDS and BWA's retreat from NPCZ. The war resulted in factions being more scrutinized by NPCZ staff, with a "Clan Ban Wave" being put in place by its owner. However, this didn't affect many people, and only one GMAP member was banned. Months after the end of the war, a document about BWA was made, exposing some of their high-profile members for actions such as pedophilia and doxxing. This resulted in Black and Narberal, the leader and a higher-up of BWA, respectively, being permanently banned from NPCZ.

=== Fourth Scantanian War (August - October 2024)===
{{Main|Fourth Scantanian War}}

After UPSR leader Striver doxxed Jordi, GMAP would join the war against UPSR. Not many battles occurred, but GMAP and its allies were able to win every single one. Furthermore, UPSR forces, especially Striver, were caught cheating in most of these battles. UPSR would grow tired of this war until electing to avoid its enemies. Eventually, UPSR would leave the Meta, ending the war on in a win for GMAP and its allies.

=== The Great Nothing War (October 2024 - January 2025)===

In this conflict, C.G.I. would primarily ... I'm too lazy to write this out

===GMAP - BASTARD War (September 2024 - Ongoing)===
{{Main|GMAP - BASTARD War}}

=== The Great Nothing War (October 2024 - January 2025) ===
{{Main|The Great Nothing War}}

Chitose, on behalf of [[Bairis Bitchin Clan|Bairi's Clan]] and [[Hotel Moscow]], would target Larry, leader of the [[Democratic Republic of Scotland]], in what would be a drawn-out war. GMAP and Koupii-Maybin International-aligned factions would fight against BC, HM, and many unaffiliated militants. In what little actual combat occurred, GMAP and KMI would win. Chitose would eventually pull out of the war, resulting in a GMAP-KMI victory.

=== CAF Revolt (October 2024) ===
{{Main|CAF Revolt}}

Yuri made a new group called RUAF (Riley's United Army Forces?), and recruited some members from CAF to start a revolt against them. Several GMAP and KMI member states crushed the rebellion within a day, with RUAF surrendering and subsequently disbanding.

=== The Great Weight War (November 2024 - April 2025) ===
{{Main|The Great Weight War}}

Several [[Petrograd Pact]] and [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization]] member states attempted to invade Valen Sandbox and Theater of Operations, eventually assimilating into the [[Coalition]]. A joint GMAP-KXMI force successfully repelled the invaders from their territory.

=== GMAP - KA War (January 2025) ===
{{Main|GMAP - KA War}}

The [[Kingdom of Alus]] was planning to go to war with the Solar Imperium, so several GMAP member states went to war with KA, causing them to surrender after one battle.

==Organization==

===Components===
[[File:TF141 Emblem.png|thumb|220x220px|The Task Force 141 emblem]]
The faction had four main components to it: the Army, D.T. Squad, Peacekeepers, and Task Force 141.

* Army: Most of C.G.I. belonged to the army, as members would be trained as an army soldier by default.
* D.T. Squad: This flexible team was handpicked by the commander, with a variety of skillsets to be able to go on many different missions.
* Peacekeepers: There were few Peacekeeper Operatives, who would be specialized in general peacekeeping, military policing, and recruiting.
* Task Force 141: Made up of C.G.I.'s most trustworthy soldiers, this task force was originally meant to be a secretive group that went on covert operations and dealt with psychological warfare. However, it became the entirety of C.G.I.'s forces as the overarching group was dormant.
* Task Force 325: Similar to the Peacekeepers, Task Force 325 was made for peacekeeping and humanitarian operations on NPCZ.

===Structure===
C.G.I. followed the U.S. Army ranking system, with the exception of it being led by a commander. Officers also had lesser authority, though they had great influence in decision-making. Some officers were part of the D.T. Squad, who were the best among their respective classes and had command over them. People that were below officer ranks were considered normal members. Outside of participating in voting, they had no authority in the faction.

===Divisions===
Although C.G.I. primarily operated on Garry's Mod, it was also involved in a multitude of other games. There was a division for each game, and members who wanted to be involved in those games on behalf of C.G.I. would join its respective division. Here is a list of all of C.G.I.'s divisions:

*Battlefield 1 Division
*Counter Attack Division
*Counter Strike: Global Offensive Division
*Critical Ops Division
*Fortnite Division
*Garry's Mod Division
*Heroes & Generals Division
*Kill Shot Bravo Division
*Of Guards and Thieves Division
*PAYDAY 2 Division
*Plazma Burst 2 Division
*Rainbow Six Siege Division
* ROBLOX Division
*Space Engineers Division
* Team Fortress 2 Division
* Unturned Division
*Warframe Division

Besides the Garry's Mod Division, the success of each division varied, with most of them being very inactive. Eventually, the Battlefield 1 Division and Counter Attack Division were disbanded due to inactivity. However, C.G.I. had a large presence in Plazma Burst 2 and Critical Ops. Members also played Counter Strike: Global Offensive and Roblox together frequently. Though there weren't divisions for these games, C.G.I. was also involved in Call of Duty: Heroes, Pixel Gun 3D, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, and Modern Combat 5: Blackout.

==Classes==
The majority of C.G.I.'s soldiers were trained to be one of five main combat classes: commando, sniper, engineer, scout, assault. There were also two non-combat classes: support and spy. Each class specialized in certain skillsets, which were used to complement each other during battle. New recruits had to choose classes that they liked, but were not bound to them. The D.T. Squad was made up of the best soldiers of each class, handpicked by the commander. Although they had standard-issue weapons, they were ultimately free to choose what to use.

===Commando===
[[File:C.G.I. Gunner.jpg|thumb|220x220px|A C.G.I. commando being a gunner on top of a Humvee]]
These soldiers specialized in using heavy weaponry like machine guns and guided launchers to provide support for the rest of their team. They would man mounted turrets, be gunners on vehicles, and also carry extra ammunition supply if possible and provide them to teammates in need.

Primary Weapons: PKM, M60, MG 42, M249 Para, Ameli, Pulse Gun

Secondary Weapons: Resistance RPG, Redeemer

Backup Weapons: Raging Bull, M29 Satan

===Sniper===
[[File:Sniper Team.jpg|thumb|220x220px|A C.G.I. sniper team]]
Adept at using sniper rifles and marksman rifles, these soldiers were meant to take out targets with precision. Due to their accurate nature, they were also sometimes tasked to fly airplanes to engage in dogfights or close air support. They also carried compact submachine guns in the case that their positions were compromised so that they had a means of quickly retaliating. If they needed to stay in one place for a long time, they used anti-personnel landmines as a safeguard against enemies trying to infiltrate them.

Primary Weapons: PSG-1, Dragunov SVU, Barrett M82, AWM/AWP, scoped Lee–Enfield, long-barreled scoped M16A2

Secondary Weapons: MP9, MP7

Backup Weapons: Raging Bull, M29 Satan

===Engineer===
[[File:C.G.I. K.S. Air Force.jpg|thumb|220x220px|A C.G.I. engineer piloting a Huey alongside K.S.]]
This class is the most diverse class, with soldiers being able to learn different skillsets within the class. Members could be demolitions & sabotage experts, builders, medics, and helicopter or hovercraft pilots. While working with much technology, engineers carried submachine guns and used rocket launchers to destroy opposing vehicles and equipment. They also carried a multitude of other equipment, such as breaching charges & C4s for sabotaging important objectives and to assist with breaching, medkits to heal themselves and allies, and turret parts to set them up on the fly.

Primary Weapons: Scorpion Evo 3, Peacekeeper

Secondary Weapons: RPG-7, Rocket Launcher

Backup Weapons: HK45C

===Scout===
[[File:Wazup.jpg|thumb|220x220px|Wazup, a C.G.I. scout, wielding a Browning Auto-5]]
This class was meant to be used situationally, due to the weapons they used having limited range. They were usually tasked with scouting out places of a map as their name suggests. They would also breach buildings, which would often be done with an engineer. However, up close, these shotgun and machine pistol-wielding scouts were swift and deadly, being able to scout out much territory on a map and clear rooms with ease, using frag and flash grenades to assist them. They also had the option of carrying infantry rifles so that they were combat effective outside of short-range.

Primary Weapons: Mossberg 500, Double-Barreled Shotgun, Combat Shotgun, Sawed-Off Remington 870

Secondary Weapons: Glock-18, Beretta 23R, Dual Enforcers

===Assault===
[[File:C.G.I. Assault.jpg|thumb|220x220px|A C.G.I. assault trooper guarding an outpost]]
This class was the most versatile of all the other combat classes. It used infantry rifles that were effective for many ranges, making soldiers with this class invaluable to any battle. Some soldiers were trained in stealth in order to infiltrate enemy bases, acting similarly to scouts and spies on the battlefield. The effectiveness of this class also depended on the addon packs on a server, as rifles tended to outshine or were outshined by other weapons depending on the server.

Primary Weapons: XM8, HK416, AN-94, AK-47, M16A4

Secondary Weapons: P229R, Beretta M9

'''Weedbox Nuclear Weapon Facility''' was estimated to have been founded in the summer of 2022 (possibly in July or August) with the intention of dominating "'''[[weedbox (now with 50% more swag)]]'''" with the nuclear power of the JMod addon. It was founded by itsx3non. While the official video records of WNWF testing its first (and last) nuclear bomb, which was a successful detonation, have been lost, several remaining in-game screenshots still exist. These can be found in the gallery section below. WNWF never considered itself a faction/clan and its sole purpose was to create chaos and exploit the server for the sake of fun.

Unfortunately, WNWF was only able to operate for a few months before its inevitable disbandment caused by the closure of the server itself.

Wojtek-KMI War

The Wojtek-KMI War was a conflict between the Wojtek Pact and the Koupii-Modrik International. Following the conclusion of the Great Gunny War, diplomatic relations between the Wojtek Pact and KMI became increasingly strained for the month of January 2026, culminating in the Wojtek Pact declaring war on KMI.

== Prelude ==
Following the conclusion of the [[The Great Gunny War|Great Gunny War]] and the Wojtek Pact's consolidation of Valen Sandbox as a territory, both Wojtek and KMI understood that a conflict would be the logical conclusion of them both being the two main spheres of influence in the faction community. Since both sides had members that strongly disliked each other, conflict was seen as an inevitability. The Wojtek Pact spent the month of January resting in the wake of the Gunny War, while KMI began a gradual reactivation of operations with NPF leader Finnik's return from a brief hiatus.
[[File:MortCallout.png|thumb|464x464px|Plab reporting the unkillable heli to YSR leadership in the KATO-IMR Embassy. An argument ensued from which relations never recovered.]]
On the evening of January 19th, 2026, NRK leader Sergei and several IW members launched a raid on Sleepless Sandbox, a KMI-owned server, out of boredom. The fight resulted in the discovery of KMI using a helicopter that had a chair outside of the contraption, rendering it invincible even upon crew death. IW member Plab (AKA Mort) reported the problem to YSR leadership in the KATO-IMR embassy discord, but an argument ensued. Neither side came to a resolution over the matter, and relations effectively broke down.

=== KMI - AFOF War ===
On January 28th, the Wojtek Pact discovered that a battle between the Koupii-Modrik International and the [[Allied Forces of Order and Freedom]] was taking place on Valen Sandbox. Seeking to intervene and defend [[Multi Purpose Task Force|MPTF]] from what they alleged was sealclubbing, Wojtek member states joined the server intending to fight. Upon arrival, KMI refused to fight the Wojtek Pact unless they agreed to specific terms such as number of participants per side and the exclusion of Sergei. Both sides negotiated the terms with the Wojtek Pact reluctantly accepting a 3v3 while KMI accepted Sergei's inclusion. The enforcement relied on the involvement of the [[The Imperium|Imperium]], who would declare war on the offending side should the terms be violated. Following the battle, which KMI won, the Wojtek Pact's attitude towards KMI reached a flash point. Feeling that KMI had been abusing the Pact's affinity for diplomacy to weaken them and tread on their territory, the Wojtek Pact declared war.

== War ==

=== Intelligence War ===
On the day the Wojtek Pact declared war on KMI, an anonymous informant named rocket_launcher2, later discovered to be Computeration, revealed that Verslavia, a Wojtek Pact member state, was actually a KMI spy ring. Upon confrontation, Verslavian leadership confirmed their identities as KMI leadership. To the Wojtek Pact, this was the final straw, as its members had deeply trusted Verslavia and included them in their culture since the [[The Great Gunny War|Great Gunny War]]. Although Finnik, who posed as Tannovich, apologized and praised the Pact's deep seeded friendship and camaraderie, the apology was not accepted. March, the leader of the Cerulean Taskforce, who had been a strong proponent of diplomacy, pledged alongside other diplomats that he would never engage in diplomacy with anyone from the KMI sphere again.

==== IDF Plot ====
Prior to a scheduled fight for Saturday evening on February 7th, Computeration and Novic leaked information that KMI was planning to launch a surprise invasion of Valen on the 6th and frame the [[Imperial Alliance]] as the perpetrators. The plan was to use alt accounts and Israeli Merkava tanks styled in IA's building style for the invasion. Fabio, previously known as Xgonn, strongly opposed the invasion since he had insisted to the Wojtek Pact that scheduled fights are the only way they will conduct warfare, while [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] leader Larry opposed the invasion due to it involving Ratakis, an IA member. Despite opposition from Fabio and Larry, Finnik, the leader of NPF, insisted on its execution. The attack was reportedly delayed several times until it was eventually canceled.<gallery widths="350" heights="150">

</gallery>

=== Battle of Valen ===
On February 7th in the mid-afternoon, the scheduled fight between Wojtek and KMI began. Since there had been no discussion on limiting the number of participants for the fight, both sides attempted to utilize the maximum extent of their manpower to the detriment of server performance. The early stages of the battle were unplayable, thus both sides agreed to limiting the battle to a 4v4.

==== Early Wojtek Gains ====
Wojtek's combat force consisted mostly of IW members conducting both air and land combat while Sergei acted as a harassment unit, with Wojtek members occasionally rotating members while maintaining 4 participants. In the early stage of the 4v4 battle, KMI suffered considerable aircraft losses while Wojtek experienced minimal losses. For a while, the Wojtek Pact was able to maintain a defense of the Bigcity sewage plant while tasking Ape and Sergei with marauding KMI forces that were attempting to attack the plant as well as suppressing KMI air power.

==== KMI Offensive ====
In the middle period of the battle, combat had shifted towards the empty green corner next to the landfill area of the map. Fighting was restricted to tight street corridors with little leeway for Wojtek tanks to flank the enemy. KMI was able to inflict most of Wojtek's tank and aircraft losses during this time. While Wojtek was occupied fighting KMI in the green corner, a separate KMI force slipped through the lines and seized the sewage plant. A major flaw in IW tanks was the server's networking becoming heavily strained, causing starfall chips to fail to initialize which kept them out of the fight for a longer time when respawning.

==== Wojtek Counteroffensive ====
With KMI occupying the sewer plant, the Wojtek Pact recognized the need for artillery to flush out the entrenched tanks since aircraft were busy countering KMI helicopters. Phil, being more experienced with artillery, rotated into the battle and utilized an emplacement provided by Leningrad. Wojtek artillery began shelling KMI tanks at the sewage plant, flushing them out of cover where Wojtek tanks could openly engage them. The artillery rendered defensive positions unfeasible as being stationary made KMI tanks vulnerable at all times. Doubled with the lack of space to drive around in the sewer plant, artillery proved powerful in weakening KMI's hold on the plant.

==== End of the Battle ====
The battle abruptly ended when several reports of tanks falling through the map reached Wojtek VCs. This indicated that the server's physics had crashed, resulting in the server itself crashing. Wojtek forces quickly rejoined, but all of KMI had fallen back to Sleepless, a KMI owned server, and challenged them to fight there. Wojtek did not trust the request due to it being KMI owned, and did not attempt an invasion of the server out of fear for technology security and lack of faith in a fair fight on the server. Both sides declared victory, but KMI kill estimates range from 18-20<ref>https://youtu.be/hqCNU_An-Xk?si=1_sPdLi2K63aqpD7</ref> while Wojtek kill estimates range from 39-43.<ref>https://youtu.be/1R1cjVssyzw?si=EyKf7YrXVCrHvfTt</ref>

== End of the War ==
Following the end of the Battle of Valen, Yakugiria withdrew from the meta and KMI significantly reduced its activity. Despite the relative peace, tensions have remained high between the Wojtek and KMI spheres, and Wojtek was mass-banned from the Global Military Agreement discord, a GMAP-run server, over doxxing accusations. GMA participants also voted to withdraw their diplomatic recognition of the Wojtek Pact, mimicking the pact's earlier de-recognition of GMAP during the [https://the-rfai.fandom.com/wiki/The_Great_Gunny_War Great Gunny War] months earlier.

<s>Note: Due to current tensions, any recent engagements between the Wojtek Pact and KMI will be presumed a resumption of the conflict. Whether or not a series of engagements is a resumption of the war or a separate war is dependent on the time between the Battle of Valen and any recent military engagement.</s>

'''UPDATE:''' There have been no significant engagements between Wojtek and KMI as of 5/1/2026. The note will be removed sometime later.

}}

The Federal Republic of '''Ludasia''', or simply Ludasia (pronounced Loo-dasia) is a parliamentary republic loosely based on Hungary. Led by Ex-[[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]] Leader [[Phil2014|Phil]], the nation serves as a source for aesthetic in personal vehicle designs. Ludasia was created around the same time as [[The Spektarian Federation|Spektaria]] led by [[Baccio]] around 2020. Ludasia is a member of the [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization]].

The main aesthetic of Ludasia is a technocratic state buried in secrecy. At least in LARP, Ludasia is a void of radio silence amongst a sea of warring factions and employs various deception tactics to ensure secrecy of its technological and military goals. Ludasia prides itself in its technological development, secrecy and intelligence capabilities. Currently, Ludasia employs a handful of artificial intelligences that act as advisors to the Ministry of National Defense and various other government agencies. Despite the secrecy of the republic, it conducts trade with other nations and has embassies, but outsiders will find it difficult to glean information from Ludasian citizens they do business or diplomacy with. Ludasian citizens and diplomats who possess access to any degree of "secure or classified national information", are bound by law to not provide any information regarding them. The citizenry is well informed and maintains a stable society, but has a great emphasis on information security, the duty of every citizen. The well-being of the population is a heavy focus for the government, as a happy society is more likely to cooperate with information security protocols according to government doctrine. Ludasia is a capitalist country, rejecting the dark specters of fascism and communism that lurk in the factions scene.

== History ==

=== KATO-Petrograd War ===
See full article: [[KATO-Petrograd War]]

Ludasia, essentially just Phil, was actively participating in the conflict on [[Izakia|IZK]]'s side. Eventually, victory would be achieved in favor of Petrograd due to KATO's disappearance. This war had sparked a major armament program, seeing the production of 2 Main Battle tanks, experimental weapons, and evaluation of doctrine. Ludasia had expanded its arsenal extensively following the widespread adoption of the FDV Ruleset, which aimed to limit minmaxxing and return the ACF community to a less toxic and more fun community. After the collapse of FDV and rulesets in general, Ludasia is working towards advancing the development of ACF itself through testing upcoming features.

=== 2022-2023 ===
Ludasia was involved in the KATO-Petrograd War on the Petrograd side. After the war, [[Izakia]] distanced itself from the now member states of the Imperial Alliance due to general dislike of its members. In the summer of 2023, IZK and KATO experienced a significant détente period and now share a loose friendship.

=== 2024-2025 ===
Ludasia did not conduct any major activity in the year 2024 other than becoming a member state of KATO. In February 2025 however, Ludasia began ramping up its activities after its 2-year period of inactivity due to conflicts between KATO and [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]].

=== Great Gunny War ===
See full article: [[The Great Gunny War]]

Ludasia was an active participant in the Great Gunny War (AKA The Great Waitriotic War) on the side of the [[Coalition]]. It participated largely in a supporting role for the Coalition in the Battle of Noob, Battle of Gendrome, and the Versailles and Valen campaigns. Since March, Ludasia had been building up an arsenal of ACF crew weapons for the invasion of Valen Sandbox and exported them across its allies. Notable exported weapons include the Snakebite ATGM and Pikas Anti-tank guns which had seen significant success.

Following a lull in active combat between the Wojtek Pact and GMAP, Ludasia relegated itself to intelligence operations for the duration of the war. Phil contributed significantly to gathering information from GMAP discord leaks and formatting it within CTF's Truth Impact.

=== Wojtek-KMI War ===
Ludasia shifted towards an aggressive foreign policy following the conclusion of the Great Gunny War. However, due to its small size and industrial capacity, it remained primarily within the intelligence department for the Wojtek Pact. Other than providing artillery support during the Battle of Valen on February 7th, 2026, it remained in the back and discussed foreign policy and intelligence findings with Wojtek leadership.

=== Present ===
Ludasia is currently the ''de facto'' director of Wojtek Pact intelligence operations. It also acts as a think tank for military strategy and foreign policy using current intelligence to make up for its small size. Being a small faction, Ludasia never fights alone to avoid being outnumbered, and operates in a supporting role during battles. Despite this, Ludasia attempts to cover all dimensions of warfare, having weapons for air support, artillery, and conventional armored warfare.

''The Great Gunny War'', also referred to by ''The Great Wait War'' or ''The Great Waitriotic Snore,'' was a conflict between the revived [[Coalition]] (which then became the Wojtek Pact) and the [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact]] on Valen Sandbox. The conflict came after declining relations between the [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]]-[[Izakia|IZK]] sphere and [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] as well as the debut of ACF crew. '''The Great Gunny War''' is the first ever conflict that involved the use of ACF Crew vehicles, and is (with consent) named after the late pet dog of [[Izakia|IZK]] member Duck, which was senile and died of old age.

== Prelude (March–June 2025) ==

Following the conclusion of the [[The Great Weight War|Great Weight War]] at the end of March, both sides had declared victory. Each side cited their own reasons as to why they won. [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] perceived the conflict from a broader lens, counting battles before and outside of Theater of Operations as part of their victories, while the Coalition adopted a narrower lens and focused exclusively on their victories on Theater, having never considered the engagements prior to be one continuous war. The lack of a unified consensus on who won the conflict lead to dissatisfaction within the Coalition after the war's end. Furthermore, [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] and [[The Imperium|IMR]] established an embassy between each other in an effort to deescalate tensions following numerous incidents where [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]]-[[Izakia|IZK]] and [[The Imperium|IMR]] forces exchanged ammo bombs during ACF fights. Later on, [[Izakia|IZK]] was invited to the embassy. Conflict with [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] had begun due to the shared belief that [[The Imperium|IMR]] was maliciously influencing them. [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] later learned that IMR was actually there to counter attempts by the [[Imperial Alliance]] to influence GMAP. This was not known to KATO until the 12th of February, the day the embassy was established. KATO resolved to continue the war due to general distaste for GMAP's behavior.

Internal discussion within the [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]]-[[Izakia|IZK]] sphere between [[Phil 2014|Phil]], Sergei, and Tox about reviving the defunct [[Coalition|SCI Coalition]] that had resisted [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] from 2018 to 2019 was sparse and mostly discussed as a joke. However, after the end of the [[The Great Weight War|Great Weight War]], the [[Coalition]] was officially revived. [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] members and [[Izakia|IZK]] retain their original identities or membership status within respective alliances, with the Coalition acting as a general title for member factions opposing the Garry's Mod Alliance Pact. The Coalition was also sometimes referred to as the Wojtek Pact, but this is used primarily by IZK members who wanted to revive the old alliance. Both titles were used to describe the same alliance, often leading to some confusion. During the later stages of the war, the Coalition name waned and members fully adopted the Wojtek identity.

Following the war, the Coalition declined in major public activity in the meta save for individual appearances. Between the months of March and June, members of the Coalition acted as beta testers for the ACF Crew Update in undisclosed locations. Near Mid-June, the Coalition ramped up its activity slightly, invading the IA capitol server, CKC, and successfully defeating FAI forces in two consecutive battles after they switched the server to ACF-2. The Coalition also made two appearances on Versailles Sandbox and engaged IA and [[Yakugiria|YSR]] forces out of boredom.

== Beginning ==
Following multiple delays, the [[Coalition]] occupied Valen Sandbox on the 28th of June, 2025 and remained for 2 hours.<ref>https://youtu.be/p1hXDFlBj3U?si=NE_T0nlQCb5drExV</ref> At the same time, the Coalition published a declaration of war against the [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact]]. Due to [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]]'s lack of ACF crew vehicles, no ACF combat or fighting occurred in any major capacity in the opening two weeks of the war.

== Battle of Noob (Wojtek Victory)<ref>https://youtu.be/PkouTGXrSRs?si=J1MGFCyKM-AiIlbw</ref> ==
[[File:Noobkd.png|thumb|266x266px|Final recorded K/D on Noob Sandbox before players began withdrawing.]]
On July 8, 2025, [[Kalestania|NRK]] leader Jarck joined Noob, a common faction hub, prompting a heavy [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] response. The situation escalated rapidly, with [[Verslavia]] joining to fight GMAP which prompted reinforcements in turn. While [[Verslavia]] performed the bulk of infantry combat, [[Coalition]] snipers harassed GMAP forces from long range. Independent actors such as Fabinot and [[Yakugiria|YSR]] leader Crisis fought everyone casually. Near the latter stage of the battle, Caesar's Legion joined the server and utilized previously retired ACF power armor suits to provide heavy fire support for Verslavian infantry. GMAP forces took severe losses and gradually retreated from the server, with [[CatGopher98|Catgopher]] leaving last. Verslavia was admitted into the Wojtek Pact following the battle.

'''Wojtek K/D: 2.19 (521/237)'''

'''GMAP K/D: 0.42 (82/195)'''

== Noob Deescalation ==
On July 9, 2025, Wojtek and [[Yakugiria|YSR]] forces (which were neutral in the conflict) engaged on Noob Sandbox in the afternoon. Due to Noob's lack of enforcement of crew vehicles, non-crew vehicles remained functional, giving [[Yakugiria|YSR]] an upper hand in fighting [[Izakia]]n crew vehicles. The battle erupted into a heated argument over the use of non-crew vehicles and personal attacks and YSR's admittance of former Imperial Alliance members such as Ratakis and Duff. Baccio, leader of [[Kathlaxia]], intervened and successfully deescalated the situation. Wojtek Pact and Yakugirian members continued discussions in the Global Military Agreement discord voice channel and agreed to deescalate the conflict between each other. As a result, Wojtek and Yakugiria reached a state of neutrality between each other.

== Battle of Gendrome (Inconclusive) ==
On July 12, 2025, a mixed [[Ludasia]]n-[[Verslavia]]n force invaded Gendrome and interrupted a GMAP training session. The battle lasted an hour with both sides suffering heavy casualties and enduring extreme lag conditions. K/D calculations have proven excessively difficult due to multiple player crashes during the latter end of the fight as the lag intensified.

== Versailles Campaign ==

=== Versailles Skirmish (Minor Engagement) ===
On July 16, 2025, a Wojtek force consisting of IZK, NRK, CTF, and LUD joined Versailles to engage [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]]. [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] was reinforced by [[Shadow Company]], but quickly retreated from the server, citing the time as being too late to commit to a fight.

[[File:VersaillesInfantryCoalition.png|thumb|338x338px|Wojtek forces pushing down a street with the support of an IFV.]]
On July 24, 2025, Wojtek forces noticed a [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]]-[[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] presence on Versailles. Assuming it was a training exercise, a scout was sent to survey the scene, only to find out that it was a genuine [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] incursion. A combined [[Kalestania|NRK]], [[Ludasia|LUD]], and [[Izakia|IZK]] force joined the server and engaged a handful of [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] tanks, which were [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] exports. Following the loss of 3 tanks and advdupe2 losing functionality occasionally during the battle, both forces relegated to standard M9K PVP for most of the battle. Wojtek forces utilized combined arms warfare, with infantry being supported by an IFV from [[International Weapons Corporation|International Weapons Conglomerate]] driven by Ape. This gave them a significant advantage dealing with GMAP forces, and even cleared out one small base with its supporting fire. The battle lasted an estimated 2 hours, with [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]] reinforcements arriving and putting extra pressure on GMAP with infantry and armored forces. GMAP forces gradually withdrew from the server and conceded defeat.

The Wojtek Pact had previously claimed Versailles as shown in a propaganda video,<ref>https://youtu.be/tGh6FIcfG30?si=_9ZtZsDHv3lS1gb9&t=155</ref> but after hearing that the server staff wished for the server to remain neutral, the Wojtek Pact withdrew its claim after an internal discussion.

'''Wojtek K/D: 2.57 (535/208)'''

'''GMAP K/D: 0.71 (327/512)'''

=== 2nd Battle of Versailles (Stalemate) ===
(I was personally not there, there will be a lot of missing details -Phil)

On July 25, 2025, Wojtek Pact forces engaged [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] on Versailles sandbox for the 2nd time. During the battle, the map switched to gm_bigcity_improved where fighting continued. The battle became very chaotic due to the use of 3 different mediums: Glide, ACF, and M9K. This complicated the means to combat each other's vehicles, as Glide could kill ACF but not vice versa, while M9K could kill both. Both sides fought hard, but the resulting K/D calculations caused a divide between who won the battle. Since the K/D difference was 0.002 (which equates to 1 kill), the Wojtek Pact considers the battle to be a stalemate due to the microscopic K/D delta and the fact that GMAP did not rejoin following a server crash, while GMAP considered it to be a victory.

'''Wojtek K/D: 1.015 (347/342)'''

'''GMAP K/D: 1.017 (466/458)'''

=== Versailles Controversy ===
Versailles began experiencing a period of decline after August 15 after [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] declared war on [[Multi Purpose Task Force (M.P.T.F)|MPTF]], the native clan that garrisons the server. Wattson, a [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] member, had defected to [[Multi Purpose Task Force (M.P.T.F)|MPTF]]. Due to the conflict, MPTF server staff banned multiple clans from the server, claiming that DRS had violated the server's mandate that claims were prohibited. After the controversy reached the rest of the community, the bans were eventually lifted. Immediately the next day, dupesteal allegations spread on the server after MPTF members were allegedly seen possessing DRS technology. A server random fueled the controversy by alleging that he had seen them spawning out tech from various [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] factions and reviewing them in private. These allegations ultimately fell flat as it was discovered that the random was a former [[Inner Sphere Alliance|ISA]] member attempting to cause chaos.

Various other grievances with the server have significantly harmed its reputation, citing inconsistent rule enforcement, general incompetence, and delayed response times to reports of rulebreaking. [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] went as far as declaring Versailles a "[[The Turtle Nation|TTN]] category server" in reference to That Sandbox Server. As a result of these controversies and concerns with security, the Wojtek Pact scaled back official operations on the server. After the fog was cleared and the dupesteal allegations were debunked, the Wojtek Pact played on the server casually to fight [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] and spectate other smaller conflicts that occurred.

== Valen Campaign ==

=== 1st Battle of Valen (Wojtek Victory)<ref>https://youtu.be/B0xI6BAbFsM?si=ldQB9b0PRl5fCuHg</ref> ===
Throughout the course of the war, only token [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] forces had attempted to contest the Wojtek Pact's occupation of Valen Sandbox. The primary GMAP force engaging the Wojtek Pact on Valen was [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]], led by Larry. Nearly all incursions had been carried out by DRS, but faced overwhelming Wojtek defenses each time. The Wojtek has stated that these battles will not be counted against GMAP because they were short-lived and involve DRS being very outnumbered.

This changed following a direct invasion of Valen by [[Cat-Gopher Industries|CGI]]-[[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] forces on July 30. The Wojtek Pact had such a huge response that the server neared its maximum player limit, forcing some to leave or be kicked by an admin to make room for GMAP. The battle originally was meant to be between [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]] and GMAP explicitly, but frustration against GMAP's inaction by the Wojtek Pact had reached a fever pitch, and the rest of the alliance participated in the battle anyway. ULSCI forces made up the bulk of the fight early on, but [[Izakia|IZK]], [[Verslavia|VSR]], [[Cerulean Taskforce|CTF]], [[Kathlaxia|KAX]], and [[International Weapons Corporation|IW]] began to rotate into the fight. GMAP forces maintained cohesion despite the Wojtek Pact's advances, but ultimately fell to flanking attacks and combined arms warfare supplemented by [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]] and [[Cerulean Taskforce|CTF]] air support. The map also switched from gm_warmap to gm_bigcity, where GMAP armored forces took greater losses as they became scattered and vastly outnumbered. The battle lasted a total of two hours, with GMAP conceding the fight and stating that they would continue the fight for Valen sandbox the next day.

The Battle of Valen is one of if not the largest tank battles in Garry's Mod Faction history. Almost all of Valen sandbox's 24 player slots were filled, and tanks engaged each other in platoon numbers. The server experienced high lag conditions, but both sides endured and fought through the lag.<gallery widths="240">

=== KXMI Skirmishes and ULSCI's "Great Crusade" ===
[[File:ULSCITanks.png|thumb|2 ULSCI tanks during the Great Crusade.]]
On August 4, A minor [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] force engaged Larry, believing him to be [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]]. However, Larry was in fact fighting for [[Koupii-Modrik International|KXMI]] after [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] refused to aid him. KXMI forces engaged KATO with heavy losses on both sides. Since KXMI and the Wojtek Pact were not at war with each other, a breakdown in the diplomatic situation ensued. This was compounded further when [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]], a Wojtek member, launched their Great Crusade, declaring war on every faction out of boredom and engaging both sides. Before this however, [[Bozostan]], a former [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization]] faction, was fighting its own war on [[NPC Zombies Vs. Players]] out of boredom. Castle, the leader of Bozostan, saw this as an opportunity to create more positive relations between the two. However, on 7/27/2025, [[Ludasia]]'s leader Phil would negotiate with KXMI, asking for KXMI to stop sending PvPers to ACF fights as-long as Wojtek didn't help Bozostan on NPC Zombies Vs. Players, This upset the members of Bozostan who would view this as a sign of weakness from the Wojtek Pact and KATO, thus leading to the expulsion of most KATO figures from the Bozostan discord and the severing of communication between the two on a large scale. Due to this recent diplomatic incident, Bozostan would support ULSCI in its great crusade, providing man power and infantry support. Upon ULSCI's launch of the crusade it was promptly ejected from the Wojtek Pact. Despite lines being drawn, confusion amongst the Wojtek Pact regarding who was and wasn't an enemy made the 3-way battle untenable, and thus withdrew from the battle. KXMI continued fighting ULSCI forces until they withdrew as well, then declared victory. This would be ULSCI's only battle of their crusade as time was drawing short and summer was ending.

KXMI heavily criticized GMAP for refusing to aid Larry in taking back their lost territory. Larry then announced his withdrawal from GMAP, citing their lack of aid on multiple instances.

=== 2nd KXMI Skirmish ===
The Wojtek Pact took offense towards [[Koupii-Modrik International|KXMI]]'s occupation on the server and their celebration following yesterday's battle. On August 5, Wojtek forces secured control of Valen Sandbox in a rapid invasion. Due to overwhelming Wojtek numbers, KXMI was pushed out of their defensive positions at the sewage plant on gm_bigcity and withdrew from the server. Relations between KXMI and the Wojtek Pact soured as a result of the battle, with KXMI insisting that the Wojtek Pact was taking it too seriously.

=== 2nd Battle of Valen ===

==== Prelude ====
During Wojtek Pact discussions regarding a course of action following recent fights with [[Koupii-Modrik International|KXMI]], the alliance received news about [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] bringing the Imperial Alliance, an alliance known for having cheaters such as Bluemetaknight and Breacher, into its fold. This sparked community-wide outrage, and the Wojtek Pact and KXMI alliances agreed to a ceasefire to fight against a common enemy. [[Yakugiria]] and the [[The Imperium|Imperium]] both warned GMAP that if they did not expel IA from its alliance, then they would declare war. Since [[CatGopher98]], GMAP's leader, remained silent on the matter, the Wojtek Pact prepared to fight a protracted war against a GMAP-IA combined force.

==== Battle ====
On August 6, a small [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] force consisting of [[Cat-Gopher Industries|CGI]], [[Solar Imperium|SOL]], and [[Shadow Company|SC]] arrived on Valen. A massive [[Coalition]] response began, with [[International Weapons Corporation|IW]], [[Cerulean Taskforce|CTF]], [[Ludasia|LUD]], [[Independent Karelian Republic|IKR]], [[Kalestania|NRK]], [[Verslavia|VSR]], and [[Izakia|IZK]] mobilizing in defense of the server. Upon changing the map to gm_warmap, Catgopher did not reconnect. As the Wojtek Pact set up positions on a hill, Imperial Alliance forces were spotted deploying tanks, some having GMAP roundels. Wojtek Pact artillery suppressed any attempt by GMAP to launch an attack, with tanks positioning themselves to hit targets from multiple angles at once. GMAP forces attempted multiple breakouts from one of the fortresses signature to gm_warmap, but were stopped each time by superior Wojtek Pact firepower. The Imperial Alliance attempted to aid GMAP, but were defeated by direct fire artillery, aircraft, and close quarters tank fights. GMAP was outnumbered and outgunned, and silently withdrew from the server. Mr. Radd complained about an NRK tank using a primitive prop as its turret armor, which breaks the implicit agreement by both belligerents not to use primitives for the main armor of a tank, and KATO assured him that it would be fixed.<gallery widths="300">

=== Operation Eclipse ===
[[File:OperationEclipse.png|thumb|421x421px|GMAP and KMI posing for a photoshoot on Valen Sandbox.]]
Due to inactivity from [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]], the Wojtek Pact had declared victory on August 13. The next day, GMAP and KMI coordinated a two-pronged attack on the Wojtek Pact, occupying Versailles and completely filling Valen sandbox, making a counterattack on Valen unfeasible due to the fact that Wojtek would have been severely outnumbered (with an estimated 3-4 slots open, with the rest being GMAP and KMI). Furthermore, Versailles had its ACF damage perms set to build mode, making ACF combat impossible on the server. Wojtek prepared a large response force of approximately 10 members and opted to wait for slots to open to allow for a counterattack, but GMAP and KMI completely withdrew from both servers and cited the lack of a response from Wojtek in spite of the player slots being filled on Valen. GMAP declared the operation, named "Eclipse," a success, though the tactic of packing servers became a point of controversy as it denied the Wojtek Pact a fair opportunity to fight back.

Following KMI's declaration of war against the Wojtek Pact, the Imperium, a member of KMI, withdrew from the alliance due to conflict of interest, seeking to retain cordial diplomatic relations with KATO.

=== 3rd Battle of Valen (Inconclusive) ===
On August 17, Wojtek Pact and [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] forces began fighting at around 5:30 PM EST. The battle lasted 2 hours with both sides gaining and losing momentum throughout various periods of the battle. Both sides suffered heavy losses, but KMI withdrew from the battle after 2 hours had passed, with Crisis conceding defeat (which was contested by the rest of KMI leadership). A major controversy was the use of automated anti-air turrets by KMI during the battle, which were the cause of many [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] aircraft losses. Due to the dangerous precedent of automated weaponry and the historical taboo associated with it, both sides agreed to ban it from further use in the conflict.

== Late Stage ==
Improved relations with [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] following the 3rd Battle of Valen and an agreement to hold off on conducting serious battles led to the conflict slowing down significantly. With both [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] and the Wojtek Pact reducing their activity due to factors such as burnout, the end of summer, and resumption of education, serious fighting effectively ceased after the 3rd Battle of Valen. Though there were multiple skirmishes between the Wojtek Pact and KMI on Versailles, both sides agreed that they were not serious fights. The Wojtek Pact ultimately achieved its goal of pushing GMAP out of Valen sandbox and taking it for themselves, inflicting heavy losses on them in doing so.

=== Return of AEF ===
On December 12th, 2025, the Arterian Expeditionary Force (previously named the Assault Expeditionary Force) announced its return to the Gmod meta after five years of inactivity. The Wojtek Pact had been working in secret for months to help AEF return, providing technological assistance, training, and catching them up on the geopolitical situation. On the day of their return, AEF published a video to their channel to announce it.
[[File:WojtekReady0.png|thumb|556x556px|March's announcement declaring Wojtek's readiness and challenge to GMAP.]]
[[File:GMAPReady.png|thumb|559x559px|Catgopher's response declaring GMAP's readiness to fight again, followed by several declarations of victory on several servers.]]
<youtube>YLeIXsptPf0</youtube>The next day, March announced that the Wojtek Pact was ready to fight again following the commencement of winter break for many of its members. GMAP reciprocated, however they did not perform any military actions afterward.

=== 4th Battle of Valen (Wojtek Victory) ===
On December 15th, Sergei and Aldeweir of VSR went onto Koupii, the capital of KMI, and began skirmishing with KMI forces. Upon the arrival of Crisis turning it into a 2v3, NRK called for AEF reinforcements and outnumbered KMI. Wojtek saw significant success during the fight, but due to the late time of the battle and several members being sick, KMI withdrew. The skirmish angered YSR, and set the stage for the coming battle on Valen. Koupii also shut down following the battle, due to alleged technical difficulties (unless someone else knows, put it here)

On December 17th, Sergei went on Versailles Sandbox Server and heard Crisis insulting him. Sergei took offense to this, called AEF to reinforce him, and challenged Crisis to a fight on Valen. Crisis accepted the challenge and both sides moved to Valen for the battle. During the fight, YSR took significant losses to AEF combined arms warfare, with IFVs being harassed by a combination of aircraft, infantry, and emplacements. AEF scaled back their use of aircraft to level the playing field, but this was not enough to allow YSR to make a comeback, and they conceded defeat. The battle solidified the Wojtek Pact's control of Valen Sandbox following the failure of the previous battle to determine who occupies the server.<gallery widths="200" heights="200">

== End of the War ==
The 4th Battle of Valen was the last major battle of the war, and minor skirmishes with [[Shadow Company]] leader Computeration made up the sum of the remaining fights. With GMAP remaining inactive despite claiming its readiness to fight, the Wojtek Pact and the revived G10 International Summit rescinded recognition of GMAP as a significant member of the factions community following a ~80% super-majority vote.

=== Truth Impact ===
On December 28th, March of the [[Cerulean Taskforce]], in collaboration with Phil2014 of [[Ludasia]] and other intelligence aides, released the Truth Impact, a video revealing GMAP's tolerance of bad actors, internal corruption & infighting due to lack of strong leadership, and ties to the [[Imperial Alliance]].

The Wojtek-KMI War is an ongoing conflict between the Wojtek Pact and the Koupii-Modrik International. Following the conclusion of the Great Gunny War, diplomatic relations between the Wojtek Pact and KMI became increasingly strained for the month of January 2026, culminating in the Wojtek Pact declaring war on KMI.

== Prelude ==
Following the conclusion of the [[The Great Gunny War|Great Gunny War]] and the Wojtek Pact's consolidation of Valen Sandbox as a territory, both Wojtek and KMI understood that a conflict would be the logical conclusion of them both being the two main spheres of influence in the faction community. Since both sides had members that strongly disliked each other, conflict was seen as an inevitability. The Wojtek Pact spent the month of January resting in the wake of the Gunny War, while KMI began a gradual reactivation of operations with NPF leader Finnik's return from a brief hiatus.
[[File:MortCallout.png|thumb|464x464px|Plab reporting the unkillable heli to YSR leadership in the KATO-IMR Embassy. An argument ensued from which relations never recovered.]]
On the evening of January 19th, 2026, NRK leader Sergei and several IW members launched a raid on Sleepless Sandbox, a KMI-owned server, out of boredom. The fight resulted in the discovery of KMI using a helicopter that had a chair outside of the contraption, rendering it invincible even upon crew death. IW member Plab (AKA Mort) reported the problem to YSR leadership in the KATO-IMR embassy discord, but an argument ensued. Neither side came to a resolution over the matter, and relations effectively broke down.

=== KMI - AFOF War ===
On January 28th, the Wojtek Pact discovered that a battle between the Koupii-Modrik International and the [[Allied Forces of Order and Freedom]] was taking place on Valen Sandbox. Seeking to intervene and defend [[Multi Purpose Task Force|MPTF]] from what they alleged was sealclubbing, Wojtek member states joined the server intending to fight. Upon arrival, KMI refused to fight the Wojtek Pact unless they agreed to specific terms such as number of participants per side and the exclusion of Sergei. Both sides negotiated the terms with the Wojtek Pact reluctantly accepting a 3v3 while KMI accepted Sergei's inclusion. The enforcement relied on the involvement of the [[The Imperium|Imperium]], who would declare war on the offending side should the terms be violated. Following the battle, which KMI won, the Wojtek Pact's attitude towards KMI reached a flash point. Feeling that KMI had been abusing the Pact's affinity for diplomacy to weaken them and tread on their territory, the Wojtek Pact declared war.

== War ==

=== Intelligence War ===
On the day the Wojtek Pact declared war on KMI, an anonymous informant named rocket_launcher2, later discovered to be Computeration, revealed that Verslavia, a Wojtek Pact member state, was actually a KMI spy ring. Upon confrontation, Verslavian leadership confirmed their identities as KMI leadership. To the Wojtek Pact, this was the final straw, as its members had deeply trusted Verslavia and included them in their culture since the [[The Great Gunny War|Great Gunny War]]. Although Finnik, who posed as Tannovich, apologized and praised the Pact's deep seeded friendship and camaraderie, the apology was not accepted. March, the leader of the Cerulean Taskforce, who had been a strong proponent of diplomacy, pledged alongside other diplomats that he would never engage in diplomacy with anyone from the KMI sphere again.

==== IDF Plot ====
Prior to a scheduled fight for Saturday evening on February 7th, Computeration and Novic leaked information that KMI was planning to launch a surprise invasion of Valen on the 6th and frame the [[Imperial Alliance]] as the perpetrators. The plan was to use alt accounts and Israeli Merkava tanks styled in IA's building style for the invasion. Fabio, previously known as Xgonn, strongly opposed the invasion since he had insisted to the Wojtek Pact that scheduled fights are the only way they will conduct warfare, while [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] leader Larry opposed the invasion due to it involving Ratakis, an IA member. Despite opposition from Fabio and Larry, Finnik, the leader of NPF, insisted on its execution. The attack was reportedly delayed several times until it was eventually canceled.<gallery widths="350" heights="150">

=== Battle of Valen ===
On February 7th in the mid-afternoon, the scheduled fight between Wojtek and KMI began. Since there had been no discussion on limiting the number of participants for the fight, both sides attempted to utilize the maximum extent of their manpower to the detriment of server performance. The early stages of the battle were unplayable, thus both sides agreed to limiting the battle to a 4v4.

==== Early Wojtek Gains ====
Wojtek's combat force consisted mostly of IW members conducting both air and land combat while Sergei acted as a harassment unit, with Wojtek members occasionally rotating members while maintaining 4 participants. In the early stage of the 4v4 battle, KMI suffered considerable aircraft losses while Wojtek experienced minimal losses. For a while, the Wojtek Pact was able to maintain a defense of the Bigcity sewage plant while tasking Ape and Sergei with marauding KMI forces that were attempting to attack the plant as well as suppressing KMI air power.

==== KMI Offensive ====
In the middle period of the battle, combat had shifted towards the empty green corner next to the landfill area of the map. Fighting was restricted to tight street corridors with little leeway for Wojtek tanks to flank the enemy. KMI was able to inflict most of Wojtek's tank and aircraft losses during this time. While Wojtek was occupied fighting KMI in the green corner, a separate KMI force slipped through the lines and seized the sewage plant. A major flaw in IW tanks was the server's networking becoming heavily strained, causing starfall chips to fail to initialize which kept them out of the fight for a longer time when respawning.

==== Wojtek Counteroffensive ====
With KMI occupying the sewer plant, the Wojtek Pact recognized the need for artillery to flush out the entrenched tanks since aircraft were busy countering KMI helicopters. Phil, being more experienced with artillery, rotated into the battle and utilized an emplacement provided by Leningrad. Wojtek artillery began shelling KMI tanks at the sewage plant, flushing them out of cover where Wojtek tanks could openly engage them. The artillery rendered defensive positions unfeasible as being stationary made KMI tanks vulnerable at all times. Doubled with the lack of space to drive around in the sewer plant, artillery proved powerful in weakening KMI's hold on the plant.

The Wojtek-KMI War is an ongoing conflict between the Wojtek Pact and the Koupii-Modrik International. Following the conclusion of the Great Gunny War, diplomatic relations between the Wojtek Pact and KMI became increasingly strained for the month of January 2026, culminating in the Wojtek Pact declaring war on KMI.

== Prelude ==
Following the conclusion of the [[The Great Gunny War|Great Gunny War]] and the Wojtek Pact's consolidation of Valen Sandbox as a territory, both Wojtek and KMI understood that a conflict would be the logical conclusion of them both being the two main spheres of influence in the faction community. Since both sides had members that strongly disliked each other, conflict was seen as an inevitability. The Wojtek Pact spent the month of January resting in the wake of the Gunny War, while KMI began a gradual reactivation of operations with NPF leader Finnik's return from a brief hiatus.
[[File:MortCallout.png|thumb|464x464px|Plab reporting the unkillable heli to YSR leadership in the KATO-IMR Embassy. An argument ensued from which relations never recovered.]]
On the evening of January 19th, 2026, NRK leader Sergei and several IW members launched a raid on Sleepless Sandbox, a KMI-owned server, out of boredom. The fight resulted in the discovery of KMI using a helicopter that had a chair outside of the contraption, rendering it invincible even upon crew death. IW member Plab (AKA Mort) reported the problem to YSR leadership in the KATO-IMR embassy discord, but an argument ensued. Neither side came to a resolution over the matter, and relations effectively broke down.

=== KMI - AFOF War ===
On January 28th, the Wojtek Pact discovered that a battle between the Koupii-Modrik International and the [[Allied Forces of Order and Freedom]] was taking place on Valen Sandbox. Seeking to intervene and defend MPTF from what they alleged was sealclubbing, Wojtek member states joined the server intending to fight.

''The Great Gunny War'', also referred to by ''The Great Wait War'' or ''The Great Waitriotic Snore,'' was a conflict between the revived [[Coalition]] (which then became the Wojtek Pact) and the [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact]] on Valen Sandbox. The conflict came after declining relations between the [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]]-[[Izakia|IZK]] sphere and [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] as well as the debut of ACF crew. '''The Great Gunny War''' is the first ever conflict that involved the use of ACF Crew vehicles, and is (with consent) named after the late pet dog of [[Izakia|IZK]] member Duck, which was senile and died of old age.

== Prelude (March–June 2025) ==

Following the conclusion of the [[The Great Weight War|Great Weight War]] at the end of March, both sides had declared victory. Each side cited their own reasons as to why they won. [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] perceived the conflict from a broader lens, counting battles before and outside of Theater of Operations as part of their victories, while the Coalition adopted a narrower lens and focused exclusively on their victories on Theater, having never considered the engagements prior to be one continuous war. The lack of a unified consensus on who won the conflict lead to dissatisfaction within the Coalition after the war's end. Furthermore, [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] and [[The Imperium|IMR]] established an embassy between each other in an effort to deescalate tensions following numerous incidents where [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]]-[[Izakia|IZK]] and [[The Imperium|IMR]] forces exchanged ammo bombs during ACF fights. Later on, [[Izakia|IZK]] was invited to the embassy. Conflict with [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] had begun due to the shared belief that [[The Imperium|IMR]] was maliciously influencing them. [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] later learned that IMR was actually there to counter attempts by the [[Imperial Alliance]] to influence GMAP. This was not known to KATO until the 12th of February, the day the embassy was established. KATO resolved to continue the war due to general distaste for GMAP's behavior.

Internal discussion within the [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]]-[[Izakia|IZK]] sphere between [[Phil 2014|Phil]], Sergei, and Tox about reviving the defunct [[Coalition|SCI Coalition]] that had resisted [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] from 2018 to 2019 was sparse and mostly discussed as a joke. However, after the end of the [[The Great Weight War|Great Weight War]], the [[Coalition]] was officially revived. [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] members and [[Izakia|IZK]] retain their original identities or membership status within respective alliances, with the Coalition acting as a general title for member factions opposing the Garry's Mod Alliance Pact. The Coalition was also sometimes referred to as the Wojtek Pact, but this is used primarily by IZK members who wanted to revive the old alliance. Both titles were used to describe the same alliance, often leading to some confusion. During the later stages of the war, the Coalition name waned and members fully adopted the Wojtek identity.

Following the war, the Coalition declined in major public activity in the meta save for individual appearances. Between the months of March and June, members of the Coalition acted as beta testers for the ACF Crew Update in undisclosed locations. Near Mid-June, the Coalition ramped up its activity slightly, invading the IA capitol server, CKC, and successfully defeating FAI forces in two consecutive battles after they switched the server to ACF-2. The Coalition also made two appearances on Versailles Sandbox and engaged IA and [[Yakugiria|YSR]] forces out of boredom.

== Beginning ==
Following multiple delays, the [[Coalition]] occupied Valen Sandbox on the 28th of June, 2025 and remained for 2 hours.<ref>https://youtu.be/p1hXDFlBj3U?si=NE_T0nlQCb5drExV</ref> At the same time, the Coalition published a declaration of war against the [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact]]. Due to [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]]'s lack of ACF crew vehicles, no ACF combat or fighting occurred in any major capacity in the opening two weeks of the war.

== Battle of Noob (Wojtek Victory)<ref>https://youtu.be/PkouTGXrSRs?si=J1MGFCyKM-AiIlbw</ref> ==
[[File:Noobkd.png|thumb|266x266px|Final recorded K/D on Noob Sandbox before players began withdrawing.]]
On July 8, 2025, [[Kalestania|NRK]] leader Jarck joined Noob, a common faction hub, prompting a heavy [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] response. The situation escalated rapidly, with [[Verslavia]] joining to fight GMAP which prompted reinforcements in turn. While [[Verslavia]] performed the bulk of infantry combat, [[Coalition]] snipers harassed GMAP forces from long range. Independent actors such as Fabinot and [[Yakugiria|YSR]] leader Crisis fought everyone casually. Near the latter stage of the battle, Caesar's Legion joined the server and utilized previously retired ACF power armor suits to provide heavy fire support for Verslavian infantry. GMAP forces took severe losses and gradually retreated from the server, with [[CatGopher98|Catgopher]] leaving last. Verslavia was admitted into the Wojtek Pact following the battle.

'''Wojtek K/D: 2.19 (521/237)'''

'''GMAP K/D: 0.42 (82/195)'''

== Noob Deescalation ==
On July 9, 2025, Wojtek and [[Yakugiria|YSR]] forces (which were neutral in the conflict) engaged on Noob Sandbox in the afternoon. Due to Noob's lack of enforcement of crew vehicles, non-crew vehicles remained functional, giving [[Yakugiria|YSR]] an upper hand in fighting [[Izakia]]n crew vehicles. The battle erupted into a heated argument over the use of non-crew vehicles and personal attacks and YSR's admittance of former Imperial Alliance members such as Ratakis and Duff. Baccio, leader of [[Kathlaxia]], intervened and successfully deescalated the situation. Wojtek Pact and Yakugirian members continued discussions in the Global Military Agreement discord voice channel and agreed to deescalate the conflict between each other. As a result, Wojtek and Yakugiria reached a state of neutrality between each other.

== Battle of Gendrome (Inconclusive) ==
On July 12, 2025, a mixed [[Ludasia]]n-[[Verslavia]]n force invaded Gendrome and interrupted a GMAP training session. The battle lasted an hour with both sides suffering heavy casualties and enduring extreme lag conditions. K/D calculations have proven excessively difficult due to multiple player crashes during the latter end of the fight as the lag intensified.

== Versailles Campaign ==

=== Versailles Skirmish (Minor Engagement) ===
On July 16, 2025, a Wojtek force consisting of IZK, NRK, CTF, and LUD joined Versailles to engage [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]]. [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] was reinforced by [[Shadow Company]], but quickly retreated from the server, citing the time as being too late to commit to a fight.

=== Battle of Versailles (Wojtek Victory)<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUZWPSV9_DI</ref> ===
[[File:VersaillesInfantryCoalition.png|thumb|338x338px|Wojtek forces pushing down a street with the support of an IFV.]]
On July 24, 2025, Wojtek forces noticed a [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]]-[[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] presence on Versailles. Assuming it was a training exercise, a scout was sent to survey the scene, only to find out that it was a genuine [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] incursion. A combined [[Kalestania|NRK]], [[Ludasia|LUD]], and [[Izakia|IZK]] force joined the server and engaged a handful of [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] tanks, which were [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] exports. Following the loss of 3 tanks and advdupe2 losing functionality occasionally during the battle, both forces relegated to standard M9K PVP for most of the battle. Wojtek forces utilized combined arms warfare, with infantry being supported by an IFV from [[International Weapons Corporation|International Weapons Conglomerate]] driven by Ape. This gave them a significant advantage dealing with GMAP forces, and even cleared out one small base with its supporting fire. The battle lasted an estimated 2 hours, with [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]] reinforcements arriving and putting extra pressure on GMAP with infantry and armored forces. GMAP forces gradually withdrew from the server and conceded defeat.

The Wojtek Pact had previously claimed Versailles as shown in a propaganda video,<ref>https://youtu.be/tGh6FIcfG30?si=_9ZtZsDHv3lS1gb9&t=155</ref> but after hearing that the server staff wished for the server to remain neutral, the Wojtek Pact withdrew its claim after an internal discussion.

'''Wojtek K/D: 2.57 (535/208)'''

'''GMAP K/D: 0.71 (327/512)'''

=== 2nd Battle of Versailles (Stalemate) ===
(I was personally not there, there will be a lot of missing details -Phil)

On July 25, 2025, Wojtek Pact forces engaged [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] on Versailles sandbox for the 2nd time. During the battle, the map switched to gm_bigcity_improved where fighting continued. The battle became very chaotic due to the use of 3 different mediums: Glide, ACF, and M9K. This complicated the means to combat each other's vehicles, as Glide could kill ACF but not vice versa, while M9K could kill both. Both sides fought hard, but the resulting K/D calculations caused a divide between who won the battle. Since the K/D difference was 0.002 (which equates to 1 kill), the Wojtek Pact considers the battle to be a stalemate due to the microscopic K/D delta and the fact that GMAP did not rejoin following a server crash, while GMAP considered it to be a victory.

'''Wojtek K/D: 1.015 (347/342)'''

'''GMAP K/D: 1.017 (466/458)'''

=== Versailles Controversy ===
Versailles began experiencing a period of decline after August 15 after [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] declared war on [[Multi Purpose Task Force (M.P.T.F)|MPTF]], the native clan that garrisons the server. Wattson, a [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] member, had defected to [[Multi Purpose Task Force (M.P.T.F)|MPTF]]. Due to the conflict, MPTF server staff banned multiple clans from the server, claiming that DRS had violated the server's mandate that claims were prohibited. After the controversy reached the rest of the community, the bans were eventually lifted. Immediately the next day, dupesteal allegations spread on the server after MPTF members were allegedly seen possessing DRS technology. A server random fueled the controversy by alleging that he had seen them spawning out tech from various [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] factions and reviewing them in private. These allegations ultimately fell flat as it was discovered that the random was a former [[Inner Sphere Alliance|ISA]] member attempting to cause chaos.

Various other grievances with the server have significantly harmed its reputation, citing inconsistent rule enforcement, general incompetence, and delayed response times to reports of rulebreaking. [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] went as far as declaring Versailles a "[[The Turtle Nation|TTN]] category server" in reference to That Sandbox Server. As a result of these controversies and concerns with security, the Wojtek Pact scaled back official operations on the server. After the fog was cleared and the dupesteal allegations were debunked, the Wojtek Pact played on the server casually to fight [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] and spectate other smaller conflicts that occurred.

== Valen Campaign ==

=== 1st Battle of Valen (Wojtek Victory)<ref>https://youtu.be/B0xI6BAbFsM?si=ldQB9b0PRl5fCuHg</ref> ===
Throughout the course of the war, only token [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] forces had attempted to contest the Wojtek Pact's occupation of Valen Sandbox. The primary GMAP force engaging the Wojtek Pact on Valen was [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]], led by Larry. Nearly all incursions had been carried out by DRS, but faced overwhelming Wojtek defenses each time. The Wojtek has stated that these battles will not be counted against GMAP because they were short-lived and involve DRS being very outnumbered.

This changed following a direct invasion of Valen by [[Cat-Gopher Industries|CGI]]-[[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] forces on July 30. The Wojtek Pact had such a huge response that the server neared its maximum player limit, forcing some to leave or be kicked by an admin to make room for GMAP. The battle originally was meant to be between [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]] and GMAP explicitly, but frustration against GMAP's inaction by the Wojtek Pact had reached a fever pitch, and the rest of the alliance participated in the battle anyway. ULSCI forces made up the bulk of the fight early on, but [[Izakia|IZK]], [[Verslavia|VSR]], [[Cerulean Taskforce|CTF]], [[Kathlaxia|KAX]], and [[International Weapons Corporation|IW]] began to rotate into the fight. GMAP forces maintained cohesion despite the Wojtek Pact's advances, but ultimately fell to flanking attacks and combined arms warfare supplemented by [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]] and [[Cerulean Taskforce|CTF]] air support. The map also switched from gm_warmap to gm_bigcity, where GMAP armored forces took greater losses as they became scattered and vastly outnumbered. The battle lasted a total of two hours, with GMAP conceding the fight and stating that they would continue the fight for Valen sandbox the next day.

The Battle of Valen is one of if not the largest tank battles in Garry's Mod Faction history. Almost all of Valen sandbox's 24 player slots were filled, and tanks engaged each other in platoon numbers. The server experienced high lag conditions, but both sides endured and fought through the lag.<gallery widths="240">

=== KXMI Skirmishes and ULSCI's "Great Crusade" ===
[[File:ULSCITanks.png|thumb|2 ULSCI tanks during the Great Crusade.]]
On August 4, A minor [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] force engaged Larry, believing him to be [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]]. However, Larry was in fact fighting for [[Koupii-Modrik International|KXMI]] after [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] refused to aid him. KXMI forces engaged KATO with heavy losses on both sides. Since KXMI and the Wojtek Pact were not at war with each other, a breakdown in the diplomatic situation ensued. This was compounded further when [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]], a Wojtek member, launched their Great Crusade, declaring war on every faction out of boredom and engaging both sides. Before this however, [[Bozostan]], a former [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization]] faction, was fighting its own war on [[NPC Zombies Vs. Players]] out of boredom. Castle, the leader of Bozostan, saw this as an opportunity to create more positive relations between the two. However, on 7/27/2025, [[Ludasia]]'s leader Phil would negotiate with KXMI, asking for KXMI to stop sending PvPers to ACF fights as-long as Wojtek didn't help Bozostan on NPC Zombies Vs. Players, This upset the members of Bozostan who would view this as a sign of weakness from the Wojtek Pact and KATO, thus leading to the expulsion of most KATO figures from the Bozostan discord and the severing of communication between the two on a large scale. Due to this recent diplomatic incident, Bozostan would support ULSCI in its great crusade, providing man power and infantry support. Upon ULSCI's launch of the crusade it was promptly ejected from the Wojtek Pact. Despite lines being drawn, confusion amongst the Wojtek Pact regarding who was and wasn't an enemy made the 3-way battle untenable, and thus withdrew from the battle. KXMI continued fighting ULSCI forces until they withdrew as well, then declared victory. This would be ULSCI's only battle of their crusade as time was drawing short and summer was ending.

KXMI heavily criticized GMAP for refusing to aid Larry in taking back their lost territory. Larry then announced his withdrawal from GMAP, citing their lack of aid on multiple instances.

=== 2nd KXMI Skirmish ===
The Wojtek Pact took offense towards [[Koupii-Modrik International|KXMI]]'s occupation on the server and their celebration following yesterday's battle. On August 5, Wojtek forces secured control of Valen Sandbox in a rapid invasion. Due to overwhelming Wojtek numbers, KXMI was pushed out of their defensive positions at the sewage plant on gm_bigcity and withdrew from the server. Relations between KXMI and the Wojtek Pact soured as a result of the battle, with KXMI insisting that the Wojtek Pact was taking it too seriously.

=== 2nd Battle of Valen ===

==== Prelude ====
During Wojtek Pact discussions regarding a course of action following recent fights with [[Koupii-Modrik International|KXMI]], the alliance received news about [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] bringing the Imperial Alliance, an alliance known for having cheaters such as Bluemetaknight and Breacher, into its fold. This sparked community-wide outrage, and the Wojtek Pact and KXMI alliances agreed to a ceasefire to fight against a common enemy. [[Yakugiria]] and the [[The Imperium|Imperium]] both warned GMAP that if they did not expel IA from its alliance, then they would declare war. Since [[CatGopher98]], GMAP's leader, remained silent on the matter, the Wojtek Pact prepared to fight a protracted war against a GMAP-IA combined force.

==== Battle ====
On August 6, a small [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] force consisting of [[Cat-Gopher Industries|CGI]], [[Solar Imperium|SOL]], and [[Shadow Company|SC]] arrived on Valen. A massive [[Coalition]] response began, with [[International Weapons Corporation|IW]], [[Cerulean Taskforce|CTF]], [[Ludasia|LUD]], [[Independent Karelian Republic|IKR]], [[Kalestania|NRK]], [[Verslavia|VSR]], and [[Izakia|IZK]] mobilizing in defense of the server. Upon changing the map to gm_warmap, Catgopher did not reconnect. As the Wojtek Pact set up positions on a hill, Imperial Alliance forces were spotted deploying tanks, some having GMAP roundels. Wojtek Pact artillery suppressed any attempt by GMAP to launch an attack, with tanks positioning themselves to hit targets from multiple angles at once. GMAP forces attempted multiple breakouts from one of the fortresses signature to gm_warmap, but were stopped each time by superior Wojtek Pact firepower. The Imperial Alliance attempted to aid GMAP, but were defeated by direct fire artillery, aircraft, and close quarters tank fights. GMAP was outnumbered and outgunned, and silently withdrew from the server. Mr. Radd complained about an NRK tank using a primitive prop as its turret armor, which breaks the implicit agreement by both belligerents not to use primitives for the main armor of a tank, and KATO assured him that it would be fixed.<gallery widths="300">

=== Operation Eclipse ===
[[File:OperationEclipse.png|thumb|421x421px|GMAP and KMI posing for a photoshoot on Valen Sandbox.]]
Due to inactivity from [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]], the Wojtek Pact had declared victory on August 13. The next day, GMAP and KMI coordinated a two-pronged attack on the Wojtek Pact, occupying Versailles and completely filling Valen sandbox, making a counterattack on Valen unfeasible due to the fact that Wojtek would have been severely outnumbered (with an estimated 3-4 slots open, with the rest being GMAP and KMI). Furthermore, Versailles had its ACF damage perms set to build mode, making ACF combat impossible on the server. Wojtek prepared a large response force of approximately 10 members and opted to wait for slots to open to allow for a counterattack, but GMAP and KMI completely withdrew from both servers and cited the lack of a response from Wojtek in spite of the player slots being filled on Valen. GMAP declared the operation, named "Eclipse," a success, though the tactic of packing servers became a point of controversy as it denied the Wojtek Pact a fair opportunity to fight back.

Following KMI's declaration of war against the Wojtek Pact, the Imperium, a member of KMI, withdrew from the alliance due to conflict of interest, seeking to retain cordial diplomatic relations with KATO.

=== 3rd Battle of Valen (Inconclusive) ===
On August 17, Wojtek Pact and [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] forces began fighting at around 5:30 PM EST. The battle lasted 2 hours with both sides gaining and losing momentum throughout various periods of the battle. Both sides suffered heavy losses, but KMI withdrew from the battle after 2 hours had passed, with Crisis conceding defeat (which was contested by the rest of KMI leadership). A major controversy was the use of automated anti-air turrets by KMI during the battle, which were the cause of many [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] aircraft losses. Due to the dangerous precedent of automated weaponry and the historical taboo associated with it, both sides agreed to ban it from further use in the conflict.

== Late Stage ==
Improved relations with [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] following the 3rd Battle of Valen and an agreement to hold off on conducting serious battles led to the conflict slowing down significantly. With both [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] and the Wojtek Pact reducing their activity due to factors such as burnout, the end of summer, and resumption of education, serious fighting effectively ceased after the 3rd Battle of Valen. Though there were multiple skirmishes between the Wojtek Pact and KMI on Versailles, both sides agreed that they were not serious fights. The Wojtek Pact ultimately achieved its goal of pushing GMAP out of Valen sandbox and taking it for themselves, inflicting heavy losses on them in doing so. Hostilities have not officially ended, though major fighting has slowed down significantly.

=== Return of AEF ===
On December 12th, 2025, the Arterian Expeditionary Force (previously named the Assault Expeditionary Force) announced its return to the Gmod meta after five years of inactivity. The Wojtek Pact had been working in secret for months to help AEF return, providing technological assistance, training, and catching them up on the geopolitical situation. On the day of their return, AEF published a video to their channel to announce it.

<youtube>YLeIXsptPf0</youtube>The next day, March announced that the Wojtek Pact was ready to fight again following the commencement of winter break for many of its members. GMAP reciprocated, however they did not perform any military actions afterward.

=== 4th Battle of Valen (Wojtek Victory) ===
On December 15th, Sergei and Aldeweir of VSR went onto Koupii, the capital of KMI, and began skirmishing with KMI forces. Upon the arrival of Crisis turning it into a 2v3, NRK called for AEF reinforcements and outnumbered KMI. Wojtek saw significant success during the fight, but due to the late time of the battle and several members being sick, KMI withdrew. The skirmish angered YSR, and set the stage for the coming battle on Valen. Koupii also shut down following the battle, due to alleged technical difficulties (unless someone else knows, put it here)

On December 17th, Sergei went on Versailles Sandbox Server and heard Crisis insulting him. Sergei took offense to this, called AEF to reinforce him, and challenged Crisis to a fight on Valen. Crisis accepted the challenge and both sides moved to Valen for the battle. During the fight, YSR took significant losses to AEF combined arms warfare, with IFVs being harassed by a combination of aircraft, infantry, and emplacements. AEF scaled back their use of aircraft to level the playing field, but this was not enough to allow YSR to make a comeback, and they conceded defeat. The battle solidified the Wojtek Pact's control of Valen Sandbox following the failure of the previous battle to determine who occupies the server.<gallery widths="200" heights="200">

== End of the War ==
The 4th Battle of Valen was the last major battle of the war, and minor skirmishes with [[Shadow Company]] leader Computeration made up the sum of the remaining fights. With GMAP remaining inactive despite claiming its readiness to fight, the Wojtek Pact and the revived G10 International Summit rescinded recognition of GMAP as a significant member of the factions community following a ~80% super-majority vote.

=== Truth Impact ===
On December 28th, March of the [[Cerulean Taskforce]], in collaboration with Phil2014 of [[Ludasia]] and other intelligence aides, released the Truth Impact, a video revealing GMAP's tolerance of bad actors, internal corruption & infighting due to lack of strong leadership, and ties to the [[Imperial Alliance]].

''The Great Gunny War'', also referred to by ''The Great Wait War'' or ''The Great Waitriotic Snore,'' was a conflict between the revived [[Coalition]] (which then became the Wojtek Pact) and the [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact]] on Valen Sandbox. The conflict came after declining relations between the [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]]-[[Izakia|IZK]] sphere and [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] as well as the debut of ACF crew. '''The Great Gunny War''' is the first ever conflict that involved the use of ACF Crew vehicles, and is (with consent) named after the late pet dog of [[Izakia|IZK]] member Duck, which was senile and died of old age.

== Prelude (March–June 2025) ==

Following the conclusion of the [[The Great Weight War|Great Weight War]] at the end of March, both sides had declared victory. Each side cited their own reasons as to why they won. [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] perceived the conflict from a broader lens, counting battles before and outside of Theater of Operations as part of their victories, while the Coalition adopted a narrower lens and focused exclusively on their victories on Theater, having never considered the engagements prior to be one continuous war. The lack of a unified consensus on who won the conflict lead to dissatisfaction within the Coalition after the war's end. Furthermore, [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] and [[The Imperium|IMR]] established an embassy between each other in an effort to deescalate tensions following numerous incidents where [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]]-[[Izakia|IZK]] and [[The Imperium|IMR]] forces exchanged ammo bombs during ACF fights. Later on, [[Izakia|IZK]] was invited to the embassy. Conflict with [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] had begun due to the shared belief that [[The Imperium|IMR]] was maliciously influencing them. [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] later learned that IMR was actually there to counter attempts by the [[Imperial Alliance]] to influence GMAP. This was not known to KATO until the 12th of February, the day the embassy was established. KATO resolved to continue the war due to general distaste for GMAP's behavior.

Internal discussion within the [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]]-[[Izakia|IZK]] sphere between [[Phil 2014|Phil]], Sergei, and Tox about reviving the defunct [[Coalition|SCI Coalition]] that had resisted [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] from 2018 to 2019 was sparse and mostly discussed as a joke. However, after the end of the [[The Great Weight War|Great Weight War]], the [[Coalition]] was officially revived. [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] members and [[Izakia|IZK]] retain their original identities or membership status within respective alliances, with the Coalition acting as a general title for member factions opposing the Garry's Mod Alliance Pact. The Coalition was also sometimes referred to as the Wojtek Pact, but this is used primarily by IZK members who wanted to revive the old alliance. Both titles were used to describe the same alliance, often leading to some confusion. During the later stages of the war, the Coalition name waned and members fully adopted the Wojtek identity.

Following the war, the Coalition declined in major public activity in the meta save for individual appearances. Between the months of March and June, members of the Coalition acted as beta testers for the ACF Crew Update in undisclosed locations. Near Mid-June, the Coalition ramped up its activity slightly, invading the IA capitol server, CKC, and successfully defeating FAI forces in two consecutive battles after they switched the server to ACF-2. The Coalition also made two appearances on Versailles Sandbox and engaged IA and [[Yakugiria|YSR]] forces out of boredom.

== Beginning ==
Following multiple delays, the [[Coalition]] occupied Valen Sandbox on the 28th of June, 2025 and remained for 2 hours.<ref>https://youtu.be/p1hXDFlBj3U?si=NE_T0nlQCb5drExV</ref> At the same time, the Coalition published a declaration of war against the [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact]]. Due to [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]]'s lack of ACF crew vehicles, no ACF combat or fighting occurred in any major capacity in the opening two weeks of the war.

== Battle of Noob (Wojtek Victory)<ref>https://youtu.be/PkouTGXrSRs?si=J1MGFCyKM-AiIlbw</ref> ==
[[File:Noobkd.png|thumb|266x266px|Final recorded K/D on Noob Sandbox before players began withdrawing.]]
On July 8, 2025, [[Kalestania|NRK]] leader Jarck joined Noob, a common faction hub, prompting a heavy [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] response. The situation escalated rapidly, with [[Verslavia]] joining to fight GMAP which prompted reinforcements in turn. While [[Verslavia]] performed the bulk of infantry combat, [[Coalition]] snipers harassed GMAP forces from long range. Independent actors such as Fabinot and [[Yakugiria|YSR]] leader Crisis fought everyone casually. Near the latter stage of the battle, Caesar's Legion joined the server and utilized previously retired ACF power armor suits to provide heavy fire support for Verslavian infantry. GMAP forces took severe losses and gradually retreated from the server, with [[CatGopher98|Catgopher]] leaving last. Verslavia was admitted into the Wojtek Pact following the battle.

'''Wojtek K/D: 2.19 (521/237)'''

'''GMAP K/D: 0.42 (82/195)'''

== Noob Deescalation ==
On July 9, 2025, Wojtek and [[Yakugiria|YSR]] forces (which were neutral in the conflict) engaged on Noob Sandbox in the afternoon. Due to Noob's lack of enforcement of crew vehicles, non-crew vehicles remained functional, giving [[Yakugiria|YSR]] an upper hand in fighting [[Izakia]]n crew vehicles. The battle erupted into a heated argument over the use of non-crew vehicles and personal attacks and YSR's admittance of former Imperial Alliance members such as Ratakis and Duff. Baccio, leader of [[Kathlaxia]], intervened and successfully deescalated the situation. Wojtek Pact and Yakugirian members continued discussions in the Global Military Agreement discord voice channel and agreed to deescalate the conflict between each other. As a result, Wojtek and Yakugiria reached a state of neutrality between each other.

== Battle of Gendrome (Inconclusive) ==
On July 12, 2025, a mixed [[Ludasia]]n-[[Verslavia]]n force invaded Gendrome and interrupted a GMAP training session. The battle lasted an hour with both sides suffering heavy casualties and enduring extreme lag conditions. K/D calculations have proven excessively difficult due to multiple player crashes during the latter end of the fight as the lag intensified.

== Versailles Campaign ==

=== Versailles Skirmish (Minor Engagement) ===
On July 16, 2025, a Wojtek force consisting of IZK, NRK, CTF, and LUD joined Versailles to engage [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]]. [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] was reinforced by [[Shadow Company]], but quickly retreated from the server, citing the time as being too late to commit to a fight.

=== Battle of Versailles (Wojtek Victory)<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUZWPSV9_DI</ref> ===
[[File:VersaillesInfantryCoalition.png|thumb|338x338px|Wojtek forces pushing down a street with the support of an IFV.]]
On July 24, 2025, Wojtek forces noticed a [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]]-[[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] presence on Versailles. Assuming it was a training exercise, a scout was sent to survey the scene, only to find out that it was a genuine [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] incursion. A combined [[Kalestania|NRK]], [[Ludasia|LUD]], and [[Izakia|IZK]] force joined the server and engaged a handful of [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] tanks, which were [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] exports. Following the loss of 3 tanks and advdupe2 losing functionality occasionally during the battle, both forces relegated to standard M9K PVP for most of the battle. Wojtek forces utilized combined arms warfare, with infantry being supported by an IFV from [[International Weapons Corporation|International Weapons Conglomerate]] driven by Ape. This gave them a significant advantage dealing with GMAP forces, and even cleared out one small base with its supporting fire. The battle lasted an estimated 2 hours, with [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]] reinforcements arriving and putting extra pressure on GMAP with infantry and armored forces. GMAP forces gradually withdrew from the server and conceded defeat.

The Wojtek Pact had previously claimed Versailles as shown in a propaganda video,<ref>https://youtu.be/tGh6FIcfG30?si=_9ZtZsDHv3lS1gb9&t=155</ref> but after hearing that the server staff wished for the server to remain neutral, the Wojtek Pact withdrew its claim after an internal discussion.

'''Wojtek K/D: 2.57 (535/208)'''

'''GMAP K/D: 0.71 (327/512)'''

=== 2nd Battle of Versailles (Stalemate) ===
(I was personally not there, there will be a lot of missing details -Phil)

On July 25, 2025, Wojtek Pact forces engaged [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] on Versailles sandbox for the 2nd time. During the battle, the map switched to gm_bigcity_improved where fighting continued. The battle became very chaotic due to the use of 3 different mediums: Glide, ACF, and M9K. This complicated the means to combat each other's vehicles, as Glide could kill ACF but not vice versa, while M9K could kill both. Both sides fought hard, but the resulting K/D calculations caused a divide between who won the battle. Since the K/D difference was 0.002 (which equates to 1 kill), the Wojtek Pact considers the battle to be a stalemate due to the microscopic K/D delta and the fact that GMAP did not rejoin following a server crash, while GMAP considered it to be a victory.

'''Wojtek K/D: 1.015 (347/342)'''

'''GMAP K/D: 1.017 (466/458)'''

=== Versailles Controversy ===
Versailles began experiencing a period of decline after August 15 after [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] declared war on [[Multi Purpose Task Force (M.P.T.F)|MPTF]], the native clan that garrisons the server. Wattson, a [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] member, had defected to [[Multi Purpose Task Force (M.P.T.F)|MPTF]]. Due to the conflict, MPTF server staff banned multiple clans from the server, claiming that DRS had violated the server's mandate that claims were prohibited. After the controversy reached the rest of the community, the bans were eventually lifted. Immediately the next day, dupesteal allegations spread on the server after MPTF members were allegedly seen possessing DRS technology. A server random fueled the controversy by alleging that he had seen them spawning out tech from various [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] factions and reviewing them in private. These allegations ultimately fell flat as it was discovered that the random was a former [[Inner Sphere Alliance|ISA]] member attempting to cause chaos.

Various other grievances with the server have significantly harmed its reputation, citing inconsistent rule enforcement, general incompetence, and delayed response times to reports of rulebreaking. [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] went as far as declaring Versailles a "[[The Turtle Nation|TTN]] category server" in reference to That Sandbox Server. As a result of these controversies and concerns with security, the Wojtek Pact scaled back official operations on the server. After the fog was cleared and the dupesteal allegations were debunked, the Wojtek Pact played on the server casually to fight [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] and spectate other smaller conflicts that occurred.

== Valen Campaign ==

=== 1st Battle of Valen (Wojtek Victory)<ref>https://youtu.be/B0xI6BAbFsM?si=ldQB9b0PRl5fCuHg</ref> ===
Throughout the course of the war, only token [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] forces had attempted to contest the Wojtek Pact's occupation of Valen Sandbox. The primary GMAP force engaging the Wojtek Pact on Valen was [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]], led by Larry. Nearly all incursions had been carried out by DRS, but faced overwhelming Wojtek defenses each time. The Wojtek has stated that these battles will not be counted against GMAP because they were short-lived and involve DRS being very outnumbered.

This changed following a direct invasion of Valen by [[Cat-Gopher Industries|CGI]]-[[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] forces on July 30. The Wojtek Pact had such a huge response that the server neared its maximum player limit, forcing some to leave or be kicked by an admin to make room for GMAP. The battle originally was meant to be between [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]] and GMAP explicitly, but frustration against GMAP's inaction by the Wojtek Pact had reached a fever pitch, and the rest of the alliance participated in the battle anyway. ULSCI forces made up the bulk of the fight early on, but [[Izakia|IZK]], [[Verslavia|VSR]], [[Cerulean Taskforce|CTF]], [[Kathlaxia|KAX]], and [[International Weapons Corporation|IW]] began to rotate into the fight. GMAP forces maintained cohesion despite the Wojtek Pact's advances, but ultimately fell to flanking attacks and combined arms warfare supplemented by [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]] and [[Cerulean Taskforce|CTF]] air support. The map also switched from gm_warmap to gm_bigcity, where GMAP armored forces took greater losses as they became scattered and vastly outnumbered. The battle lasted a total of two hours, with GMAP conceding the fight and stating that they would continue the fight for Valen sandbox the next day.

The Battle of Valen is one of if not the largest tank battles in Garry's Mod Faction history. Almost all of Valen sandbox's 24 player slots were filled, and tanks engaged each other in platoon numbers. The server experienced high lag conditions, but both sides endured and fought through the lag.<gallery widths="240">

=== KXMI Skirmishes and ULSCI's "Great Crusade" ===
[[File:ULSCITanks.png|thumb|2 ULSCI tanks during the Great Crusade.]]
On August 4, A minor [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] force engaged Larry, believing him to be [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]]. However, Larry was in fact fighting for [[Koupii-Modrik International|KXMI]] after [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] refused to aid him. KXMI forces engaged KATO with heavy losses on both sides. Since KXMI and the Wojtek Pact were not at war with each other, a breakdown in the diplomatic situation ensued. This was compounded further when [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]], a Wojtek member, launched their Great Crusade, declaring war on every faction out of boredom and engaging both sides. Before this however, [[Bozostan]], a former [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization]] faction, was fighting its own war on [[NPC Zombies Vs. Players]] out of boredom. Castle, the leader of Bozostan, saw this as an opportunity to create more positive relations between the two. However, on 7/27/2025, [[Ludasia]]'s leader Phil would negotiate with KXMI, asking for KXMI to stop sending PvPers to ACF fights as-long as Wojtek didn't help Bozostan on NPC Zombies Vs. Players, This upset the members of Bozostan who would view this as a sign of weakness from the Wojtek Pact and KATO, thus leading to the expulsion of most KATO figures from the Bozostan discord and the severing of communication between the two on a large scale. Due to this recent diplomatic incident, Bozostan would support ULSCI in its great crusade, providing man power and infantry support. Upon ULSCI's launch of the crusade it was promptly ejected from the Wojtek Pact. Despite lines being drawn, confusion amongst the Wojtek Pact regarding who was and wasn't an enemy made the 3-way battle untenable, and thus withdrew from the battle. KXMI continued fighting ULSCI forces until they withdrew as well, then declared victory. This would be ULSCI's only battle of their crusade as time was drawing short and summer was ending.

KXMI heavily criticized GMAP for refusing to aid Larry in taking back their lost territory. Larry then announced his withdrawal from GMAP, citing their lack of aid on multiple instances.
[[File:Gm bigcity improved0025.png|thumb|302x302px|Yakugirian forces stationed at the sewage plant on gm_bigcity during their occupation.]]

=== 2nd KXMI Skirmish ===
The Wojtek Pact took offense towards [[Koupii-Modrik International|KXMI]]'s occupation on the server and their celebration following yesterday's battle. On August 5, Wojtek forces secured control of Valen Sandbox in a rapid invasion. Due to overwhelming Wojtek numbers, KXMI was pushed out of their defensive positions at the sewage plant on gm_bigcity and withdrew from the server. Relations between KXMI and the Wojtek Pact soured as a result of the battle, with KXMI insisting that the Wojtek Pact was taking it too seriously.

=== 2nd Battle of Valen ===

==== Prelude ====
During Wojtek Pact discussions regarding a course of action following recent fights with [[Koupii-Modrik International|KXMI]], the alliance received news about [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] bringing the Imperial Alliance, an alliance known for having cheaters such as Bluemetaknight and Breacher, into its fold. This sparked community-wide outrage, and the Wojtek Pact and KXMI alliances agreed to a ceasefire to fight against a common enemy. [[Yakugiria]] and the [[The Imperium|Imperium]] both warned GMAP that if they did not expel IA from its alliance, then they would declare war. Since [[CatGopher98]], GMAP's leader, remained silent on the matter, the Wojtek Pact prepared to fight a protracted war against a GMAP-IA combined force.

==== Battle ====
On August 6, a small [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] force consisting of [[Cat-Gopher Industries|CGI]], [[Solar Imperium|SOL]], and [[Shadow Company|SC]] arrived on Valen. A massive [[Coalition]] response began, with [[International Weapons Corporation|IW]], [[Cerulean Taskforce|CTF]], [[Ludasia|LUD]], [[Independent Karelian Republic|IKR]], [[Kalestania|NRK]], [[Verslavia|VSR]], and [[Izakia|IZK]] mobilizing in defense of the server. Upon changing the map to gm_warmap, Catgopher did not reconnect. As the Wojtek Pact set up positions on a hill, Imperial Alliance forces were spotted deploying tanks, some having GMAP roundels. Wojtek Pact artillery suppressed any attempt by GMAP to launch an attack, with tanks positioning themselves to hit targets from multiple angles at once. GMAP forces attempted multiple breakouts from one of the fortresses signature to gm_warmap, but were stopped each time by superior Wojtek Pact firepower. The Imperial Alliance attempted to aid GMAP, but were defeated by direct fire artillery, aircraft, and close quarters tank fights. GMAP was outnumbered and outgunned, and silently withdrew from the server. Mr. Radd complained about an NRK tank using a primitive prop as its turret armor, which breaks the implicit agreement by both belligerents not to use primitives for the main armor of a tank, and KATO assured him that it would be fixed.<gallery widths="300">

=== Operation Eclipse ===
[[File:OperationEclipse.png|thumb|421x421px|GMAP and KMI posing for a photoshoot on Valen Sandbox.]]
Due to inactivity from [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]], the Wojtek Pact had declared victory on August 13. The next day, GMAP and KMI coordinated a two-pronged attack on the Wojtek Pact, occupying Versailles and completely filling Valen sandbox, making a counterattack on Valen unfeasible due to the fact that Wojtek would have been severely outnumbered (with an estimated 3-4 slots open, with the rest being GMAP and KMI). Furthermore, Versailles had its ACF damage perms set to build mode, making ACF combat impossible on the server. Wojtek prepared a large response force of approximately 10 members and opted to wait for slots to open to allow for a counterattack, but GMAP and KMI completely withdrew from both servers and cited the lack of a response from Wojtek in spite of the player slots being filled on Valen. GMAP declared the operation, named "Eclipse," a success, though the tactic of packing servers became a point of controversy as it denied the Wojtek Pact a fair opportunity to fight back.

Following KMI's declaration of war against the Wojtek Pact, the Imperium, a member of KMI, withdrew from the alliance due to conflict of interest, seeking to retain cordial diplomatic relations with KATO.

=== 3rd Battle of Valen (Inconclusive) ===
On August 17, Wojtek Pact and [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] forces began fighting at around 5:30 PM EST. The battle lasted 2 hours with both sides gaining and losing momentum throughout various periods of the battle. Both sides suffered heavy losses, but KMI withdrew from the battle after 2 hours had passed, with Crisis conceding defeat (which was contested by the rest of KMI leadership). A major controversy was the use of automated anti-air turrets by KMI during the battle, which were the cause of many [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] aircraft losses. Due to the dangerous precedent of automated weaponry and the historical taboo associated with it, both sides agreed to ban it from further use in the conflict.

== Late Stage (WIP) ==
Improved relations with [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] following the 3rd Battle of Valen and an agreement to hold off on conducting serious battles led to the conflict slowing down significantly. With both [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] and the Wojtek Pact reducing their activity due to factors such as burnout, the end of summer, and resumption of education, serious fighting effectively ceased after the 3rd Battle of Valen. Though there were multiple skirmishes between the Wojtek Pact and KMI on Versailles, both sides agreed that they were not serious fights. The Wojtek Pact ultimately achieved its goal of pushing GMAP out of Valen sandbox and taking it for themselves, inflicting heavy losses on them in doing so. Hostilities have not officially ended, though major fighting has slowed down significantly.

=== Return of AEF ===
On December 12th, 2025, the Arterian Expeditionary Force (previously named the Assault Expeditionary Force) announced its return to the Gmod meta after five years of inactivity. The Wojtek Pact had been working in secret for months to help AEF return, providing technological assistance, training, and catching them up on the geopolitical situation. On the day of their return, AEF published a video to their channel to announce it.

[[File:GMAPReady.png|thumb|559x559px|Catgopher's response declaring GMAP's readiness to fight again, followed by several declarations of victory on several servers.]]
<youtube>YLeIXsptPf0</youtube>The next day, March announced that the Wojtek Pact was ready to fight again following the commencement of winter break for many of its members. GMAP reciprocated, however they did not perform any military actions afterward.

=== 4th Battle of Valen ===
On December 15th, Sergei and Aldeweir of VSR went onto Koupii, the capital of KMI, and began skirmishing with KMI forces. Upon the arrival of Crisis turning it into a 2v3, NRK called for AEF reinforcements and outnumbered KMI. Wojtek saw significant success during the fight, but due to the late time of the battle and several members being sick, KMI withdrew. The skirmish angered YSR, and set the stage for the coming battle on Valen. Koupii also shut down following the battle, due to alleged technical difficulties (unless someone else knows, put it here)

On December 17th, Sergei went on Versailles Sandbox Server and heard Crisis insulting him. Sergei took offense to this, called AEF to reinforce him, and challenged Crisis to a fight on Valen. Crisis accepted the challenge and both sides moved to Valen for the battle. During the fight, YSR took significant losses to AEF combined arms warfare, with IFVs being harassed by a combination of aircraft, infantry, and emplacements. AEF scaled back their use of aircraft to level the playing field, but this was not enough to allow YSR to make a comeback, and they conceded defeat. The battle solidified the Wojtek Pact's control of Valen Sandbox following the failure of the previous battle to determine who occupies the server.<gallery widths="200" heights="200">

== End of the War ==
The 4th Battle of Valen was the last major battle of the war, and minor skirmishes with [[Shadow Company]] leader Computeration made up the sum of the remaining fights. With GMAP remaining inactive despite claiming its readiness to fight, the Wojtek Pact and the revived G10 International Summit rescinded recognition of GMAP as a significant member of the factions community following a ~80% super-majority vote.

=== Truth Impact ===
On December 28th, March of the [[Cerulean Taskforce]], in collaboration with Phil2014 of [[Ludasia]] and other intelligence aides, released the Truth Impact, a video revealing GMAP's tolerance of bad actors, internal corruption & infighting due to lack of strong leadership, and ties to the [[Imperial Alliance]].

''The Great Gunny War'', also referred to by ''The Great Wait War'' or ''The Great Waitriotic Snore,'' was a conflict between the revived [[Coalition]] (which then became the Wojtek Pact) and the [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact]] on Valen Sandbox. The conflict came after declining relations between the [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]]-[[Izakia|IZK]] sphere and [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] as well as the debut of ACF crew. '''The Great Gunny War''' is the first ever conflict that involved the use of ACF Crew vehicles, and is (with consent) named after the late pet dog of [[Izakia|IZK]] member Duck, which was senile and died of old age.

== Prelude (March–June 2025) ==

Following the conclusion of the [[The Great Weight War|Great Weight War]] at the end of March, both sides had declared victory. Each side cited their own reasons as to why they won. [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] perceived the conflict from a broader lens, counting battles before and outside of Theater of Operations as part of their victories, while the Coalition adopted a narrower lens and focused exclusively on their victories on Theater, having never considered the engagements prior to be one continuous war. The lack of a unified consensus on who won the conflict lead to dissatisfaction within the Coalition after the war's end. Furthermore, [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] and [[The Imperium|IMR]] established an embassy between each other in an effort to deescalate tensions following numerous incidents where [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]]-[[Izakia|IZK]] and [[The Imperium|IMR]] forces exchanged ammo bombs during ACF fights. Later on, [[Izakia|IZK]] was invited to the embassy. Conflict with [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] had begun due to the shared belief that [[The Imperium|IMR]] was maliciously influencing them. [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] later learned that IMR was actually there to counter attempts by the [[Imperial Alliance]] to influence GMAP. This was not known to KATO until the 12th of February, the day the embassy was established. KATO resolved to continue the war due to general distaste for GMAP's behavior.

Internal discussion within the [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]]-[[Izakia|IZK]] sphere between [[Phil 2014|Phil]], Sergei, and Tox about reviving the defunct [[Coalition|SCI Coalition]] that had resisted [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] from 2018 to 2019 was sparse and mostly discussed as a joke. However, after the end of the [[The Great Weight War|Great Weight War]], the [[Coalition]] was officially revived. [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] members and [[Izakia|IZK]] retain their original identities or membership status within respective alliances, with the Coalition acting as a general title for member factions opposing the Garry's Mod Alliance Pact. The Coalition was also sometimes referred to as the Wojtek Pact, but this is used primarily by IZK members who wanted to revive the old alliance. Both titles were used to describe the same alliance, often leading to some confusion. During the later stages of the war, the Coalition name waned and members fully adopted the Wojtek identity.

Following the war, the Coalition declined in major public activity in the meta save for individual appearances. Between the months of March and June, members of the Coalition acted as beta testers for the ACF Crew Update in undisclosed locations. Near Mid-June, the Coalition ramped up its activity slightly, invading the IA capitol server, CKC, and successfully defeating FAI forces in two consecutive battles after they switched the server to ACF-2. The Coalition also made two appearances on Versailles Sandbox and engaged IA and [[Yakugiria|YSR]] forces out of boredom.

== Beginning ==
Following multiple delays, the [[Coalition]] occupied Valen Sandbox on the 28th of June, 2025 and remained for 2 hours.<ref>https://youtu.be/p1hXDFlBj3U?si=NE_T0nlQCb5drExV</ref> At the same time, the Coalition published a declaration of war against the [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact]]. Due to [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]]'s lack of ACF crew vehicles, no ACF combat or fighting occurred in any major capacity in the opening two weeks of the war.

== Battle of Noob (Wojtek Victory)<ref>https://youtu.be/PkouTGXrSRs?si=J1MGFCyKM-AiIlbw</ref> ==
[[File:Noobkd.png|thumb|266x266px|Final recorded K/D on Noob Sandbox before players began withdrawing.]]
On July 8, 2025, [[Kalestania|NRK]] leader Jarck joined Noob, a common faction hub, prompting a heavy [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] response. The situation escalated rapidly, with [[Verslavia]] joining to fight GMAP which prompted reinforcements in turn. While [[Verslavia]] performed the bulk of infantry combat, [[Coalition]] snipers harassed GMAP forces from long range. Independent actors such as Fabinot and [[Yakugiria|YSR]] leader Crisis fought everyone casually. Near the latter stage of the battle, Caesar's Legion joined the server and utilized previously retired ACF power armor suits to provide heavy fire support for Verslavian infantry. GMAP forces took severe losses and gradually retreated from the server, with [[CatGopher98|Catgopher]] leaving last. Verslavia was admitted into the Wojtek Pact following the battle.

'''Wojtek K/D: 2.19 (521/237)'''

'''GMAP K/D: 0.42 (82/195)'''

== Noob Deescalation ==
On July 9, 2025, Wojtek and [[Yakugiria|YSR]] forces (which were neutral in the conflict) engaged on Noob Sandbox in the afternoon. Due to Noob's lack of enforcement of crew vehicles, non-crew vehicles remained functional, giving [[Yakugiria|YSR]] an upper hand in fighting [[Izakia]]n crew vehicles. The battle erupted into a heated argument over the use of non-crew vehicles and personal attacks and YSR's admittance of former Imperial Alliance members such as Ratakis and Duff. Baccio, leader of [[Kathlaxia]], intervened and successfully deescalated the situation. Wojtek Pact and Yakugirian members continued discussions in the Global Military Agreement discord voice channel and agreed to deescalate the conflict between each other. As a result, Wojtek and Yakugiria reached a state of neutrality between each other.

== Battle of Gendrome (Inconclusive) ==
On July 12, 2025, a mixed [[Ludasia]]n-[[Verslavia]]n force invaded Gendrome and interrupted a GMAP training session. The battle lasted an hour with both sides suffering heavy casualties and enduring extreme lag conditions. K/D calculations have proven excessively difficult due to multiple player crashes during the latter end of the fight as the lag intensified.

== Versailles Campaign ==

=== Versailles Skirmish (Minor Engagement) ===
On July 16, 2025, a Wojtek force consisting of IZK, NRK, CTF, and LUD joined Versailles to engage [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]]. [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] was reinforced by [[Shadow Company]], but quickly retreated from the server, citing the time as being too late to commit to a fight.

=== Battle of Versailles (Wojtek Victory)<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUZWPSV9_DI</ref> ===
[[File:VersaillesInfantryCoalition.png|thumb|338x338px|Wojtek forces pushing down a street with the support of an IFV.]]
On July 24, 2025, Wojtek forces noticed a [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]]-[[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] presence on Versailles. Assuming it was a training exercise, a scout was sent to survey the scene, only to find out that it was a genuine [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] incursion. A combined [[Kalestania|NRK]], [[Ludasia|LUD]], and [[Izakia|IZK]] force joined the server and engaged a handful of [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] tanks, which were [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] exports. Following the loss of 3 tanks and advdupe2 losing functionality occasionally during the battle, both forces relegated to standard M9K PVP for most of the battle. Wojtek forces utilized combined arms warfare, with infantry being supported by an IFV from [[International Weapons Corporation|International Weapons Conglomerate]] driven by Ape. This gave them a significant advantage dealing with GMAP forces, and even cleared out one small base with its supporting fire. The battle lasted an estimated 2 hours, with [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]] reinforcements arriving and putting extra pressure on GMAP with infantry and armored forces. GMAP forces gradually withdrew from the server and conceded defeat.

The Wojtek Pact had previously claimed Versailles as shown in a propaganda video,<ref>https://youtu.be/tGh6FIcfG30?si=_9ZtZsDHv3lS1gb9&t=155</ref> but after hearing that the server staff wished for the server to remain neutral, the Wojtek Pact withdrew its claim after an internal discussion.

'''Wojtek K/D: 2.57 (535/208)'''

'''GMAP K/D: 0.71 (327/512)'''

=== 2nd Battle of Versailles (Stalemate) ===
(I was personally not there, there will be a lot of missing details -Phil)

On July 25, 2025, Wojtek Pact forces engaged [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] on Versailles sandbox for the 2nd time. During the battle, the map switched to gm_bigcity_improved where fighting continued. The battle became very chaotic due to the use of 3 different mediums: Glide, ACF, and M9K. This complicated the means to combat each other's vehicles, as Glide could kill ACF but not vice versa, while M9K could kill both. Both sides fought hard, but the resulting K/D calculations caused a divide between who won the battle. Since the K/D difference was 0.002 (which equates to 1 kill), the Wojtek Pact considers the battle to be a stalemate due to the microscopic K/D delta and the fact that GMAP did not rejoin following a server crash, while GMAP considered it to be a victory.

'''Wojtek K/D: 1.015 (347/342)'''

'''GMAP K/D: 1.017 (466/458)'''

=== Versailles Controversy ===
Versailles began experiencing a period of decline after August 15 after [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] declared war on [[Multi Purpose Task Force (M.P.T.F)|MPTF]], the native clan that garrisons the server. Wattson, a [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] member, had defected to [[Multi Purpose Task Force (M.P.T.F)|MPTF]]. Due to the conflict, MPTF server staff banned multiple clans from the server, claiming that DRS had violated the server's mandate that claims were prohibited. After the controversy reached the rest of the community, the bans were eventually lifted. Immediately the next day, dupesteal allegations spread on the server after MPTF members were allegedly seen possessing DRS technology. A server random fueled the controversy by alleging that he had seen them spawning out tech from various [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] factions and reviewing them in private. These allegations ultimately fell flat as it was discovered that the random was a former [[Inner Sphere Alliance|ISA]] member attempting to cause chaos.

Various other grievances with the server have significantly harmed its reputation, citing inconsistent rule enforcement, general incompetence, and delayed response times to reports of rulebreaking. [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] went as far as declaring Versailles a "[[The Turtle Nation|TTN]] category server" in reference to That Sandbox Server. As a result of these controversies and concerns with security, the Wojtek Pact scaled back official operations on the server. After the fog was cleared and the dupesteal allegations were debunked, the Wojtek Pact played on the server casually to fight [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] and spectate other smaller conflicts that occurred.

== Valen Campaign ==

=== 1st Battle of Valen (Wojtek Victory)<ref>https://youtu.be/B0xI6BAbFsM?si=ldQB9b0PRl5fCuHg</ref> ===
Throughout the course of the war, only token [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] forces had attempted to contest the Wojtek Pact's occupation of Valen Sandbox. The primary GMAP force engaging the Wojtek Pact on Valen was [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]], led by Larry. Nearly all incursions had been carried out by DRS, but faced overwhelming Wojtek defenses each time. The Wojtek has stated that these battles will not be counted against GMAP because they were short-lived and involve DRS being very outnumbered.

This changed following a direct invasion of Valen by [[Cat-Gopher Industries|CGI]]-[[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] forces on July 30. The Wojtek Pact had such a huge response that the server neared its maximum player limit, forcing some to leave or be kicked by an admin to make room for GMAP. The battle originally was meant to be between [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]] and GMAP explicitly, but frustration against GMAP's inaction by the Wojtek Pact had reached a fever pitch, and the rest of the alliance participated in the battle anyway. ULSCI forces made up the bulk of the fight early on, but [[Izakia|IZK]], [[Verslavia|VSR]], [[Cerulean Taskforce|CTF]], [[Kathlaxia|KAX]], and [[International Weapons Corporation|IW]] began to rotate into the fight. GMAP forces maintained cohesion despite the Wojtek Pact's advances, but ultimately fell to flanking attacks and combined arms warfare supplemented by [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]] and [[Cerulean Taskforce|CTF]] air support. The map also switched from gm_warmap to gm_bigcity, where GMAP armored forces took greater losses as they became scattered and vastly outnumbered. The battle lasted a total of two hours, with GMAP conceding the fight and stating that they would continue the fight for Valen sandbox the next day.

The Battle of Valen is one of if not the largest tank battles in Garry's Mod Faction history. Almost all of Valen sandbox's 24 player slots were filled, and tanks engaged each other in platoon numbers. The server experienced high lag conditions, but both sides endured and fought through the lag.<gallery widths="240">

=== KXMI Skirmishes and ULSCI's "Great Crusade" ===
[[File:ULSCITanks.png|thumb|2 ULSCI tanks during the Great Crusade.]]
On August 4, A minor [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] force engaged Larry, believing him to be [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]]. However, Larry was in fact fighting for [[Koupii-Modrik International|KXMI]] after [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] refused to aid him. KXMI forces engaged KATO with heavy losses on both sides. Since KXMI and the Wojtek Pact were not at war with each other, a breakdown in the diplomatic situation ensued. This was compounded further when [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]], a Wojtek member, launched their Great Crusade, declaring war on every faction out of boredom and engaging both sides. Before this however, [[Bozostan]], a former [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization]] faction, was fighting its own war on [[NPC Zombies Vs. Players]] out of boredom. Castle, the leader of Bozostan, saw this as an opportunity to create more positive relations between the two. However, on 7/27/2025, [[Ludasia]]'s leader Phil would negotiate with KXMI, asking for KXMI to stop sending PvPers to ACF fights as-long as Wojtek didn't help Bozostan on NPC Zombies Vs. Players, This upset the members of Bozostan who would view this as a sign of weakness from the Wojtek Pact and KATO, thus leading to the expulsion of most KATO figures from the Bozostan discord and the severing of communication between the two on a large scale. Due to this recent diplomatic incident, Bozostan would support ULSCI in its great crusade, providing man power and infantry support. Upon ULSCI's launch of the crusade it was promptly ejected from the Wojtek Pact. Despite lines being drawn, confusion amongst the Wojtek Pact regarding who was and wasn't an enemy made the 3-way battle untenable, and thus withdrew from the battle. KXMI continued fighting ULSCI forces until they withdrew as well, then declared victory. This would be ULSCI's only battle of their crusade as time was drawing short and summer was ending.

KXMI heavily criticized GMAP for refusing to aid Larry in taking back their lost territory. Larry then announced his withdrawal from GMAP, citing their lack of aid on multiple instances.
[[File:Gm bigcity improved0025.png|thumb|302x302px|Yakugirian forces stationed at the sewage plant on gm_bigcity during their occupation.]]

=== 2nd KXMI Skirmish ===
The Wojtek Pact took offense towards [[Koupii-Modrik International|KXMI]]'s occupation on the server and their celebration following yesterday's battle. On August 5, Wojtek forces secured control of Valen Sandbox in a rapid invasion. Due to overwhelming Wojtek numbers, KXMI was pushed out of their defensive positions at the sewage plant on gm_bigcity and withdrew from the server. Relations between KXMI and the Wojtek Pact soured as a result of the battle, with KXMI insisting that the Wojtek Pact was taking it too seriously.

=== 2nd Battle of Valen ===

==== Prelude ====
During Wojtek Pact discussions regarding a course of action following recent fights with [[Koupii-Modrik International|KXMI]], the alliance received news about [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] bringing the Imperial Alliance, an alliance known for having cheaters such as Bluemetaknight and Breacher, into its fold. This sparked community-wide outrage, and the Wojtek Pact and KXMI alliances agreed to a ceasefire to fight against a common enemy. [[Yakugiria]] and the [[The Imperium|Imperium]] both warned GMAP that if they did not expel IA from its alliance, then they would declare war. Since [[CatGopher98]], GMAP's leader, remained silent on the matter, the Wojtek Pact prepared to fight a protracted war against a GMAP-IA combined force.

==== Battle ====
On August 6, a small [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] force consisting of [[Cat-Gopher Industries|CGI]], [[Solar Imperium|SOL]], and [[Shadow Company|SC]] arrived on Valen. A massive [[Coalition]] response began, with [[International Weapons Corporation|IW]], [[Cerulean Taskforce|CTF]], [[Ludasia|LUD]], [[Independent Karelian Republic|IKR]], [[Kalestania|NRK]], [[Verslavia|VSR]], and [[Izakia|IZK]] mobilizing in defense of the server. Upon changing the map to gm_warmap, Catgopher did not reconnect. As the Wojtek Pact set up positions on a hill, Imperial Alliance forces were spotted deploying tanks, some having GMAP roundels. Wojtek Pact artillery suppressed any attempt by GMAP to launch an attack, with tanks positioning themselves to hit targets from multiple angles at once. GMAP forces attempted multiple breakouts from one of the fortresses signature to gm_warmap, but were stopped each time by superior Wojtek Pact firepower. The Imperial Alliance attempted to aid GMAP, but were defeated by direct fire artillery, aircraft, and close quarters tank fights. GMAP was outnumbered and outgunned, and silently withdrew from the server. Mr. Radd complained about an NRK tank using a primitive prop as its turret armor, which breaks the implicit agreement by both belligerents not to use primitives for the main armor of a tank, and KATO assured him that it would be fixed.<gallery widths="300">

=== Operation Eclipse ===
[[File:OperationEclipse.png|thumb|421x421px|GMAP and KMI posing for a photoshoot on Valen Sandbox.]]
Due to inactivity from [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]], the Wojtek Pact had declared victory on August 13. The next day, GMAP and KMI coordinated a two-pronged attack on the Wojtek Pact, occupying Versailles and completely filling Valen sandbox, making a counterattack on Valen unfeasible due to the fact that Wojtek would have been severely outnumbered (with an estimated 3-4 slots open, with the rest being GMAP and KMI). Furthermore, Versailles had its ACF damage perms set to build mode, making ACF combat impossible on the server. Wojtek prepared a large response force of approximately 10 members and opted to wait for slots to open to allow for a counterattack, but GMAP and KMI completely withdrew from both servers and cited the lack of a response from Wojtek in spite of the player slots being filled on Valen. GMAP declared the operation, named "Eclipse," a success, though the tactic of packing servers became a point of controversy as it denied the Wojtek Pact a fair opportunity to fight back.

Following KMI's declaration of war against the Wojtek Pact, the Imperium, a member of KMI, withdrew from the alliance due to conflict of interest, seeking to retain cordial diplomatic relations with KATO.

=== 3rd Battle of Valen (Inconclusive) ===
On August 17, Wojtek Pact and [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] forces began fighting at around 5:30 PM EST. The battle lasted 2 hours with both sides gaining and losing momentum throughout various periods of the battle. Both sides suffered heavy losses, but KMI withdrew from the battle after 2 hours had passed, with Crisis conceding defeat (which was contested by the rest of KMI leadership). A major controversy was the use of automated anti-air turrets by KMI during the battle, which were the cause of many [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] aircraft losses. Due to the dangerous precedent of automated weaponry and the historical taboo associated with it, both sides agreed to ban it from further use in the conflict.

== Late Stage (WIP) ==
Improved relations with [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] following the 3rd Battle of Valen and an agreement to hold off on conducting serious battles led to the conflict slowing down significantly. With both [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] and the Wojtek Pact reducing their activity due to factors such as burnout, the end of summer, and resumption of education, serious fighting effectively ceased after the 3rd Battle of Valen. Though there were multiple skirmishes between the Wojtek Pact and KMI on Versailles, both sides agreed that they were not serious fights. The Wojtek Pact ultimately achieved its goal of pushing GMAP out of Valen sandbox and taking it for themselves, inflicting heavy losses on them in doing so. Hostilities have not officially ended, though major fighting has slowed down significantly.

=== Return of AEF ===
On December 12th, 2025, the Arterian Expeditionary Force (previously named the Assault Expeditionary Force) announced its return to the Gmod meta after five years of inactivity. The Wojtek Pact had been working in secret for months to help AEF return, providing technological assistance, training, and catching them up on the geopolitical situation. On the day of their return, AEF published a video to their channel to announce it.

[[File:GMAPReady.png|thumb|559x559px|Catgopher's response declaring GMAP's readiness to fight again, followed by several declarations of victory on several servers.]]
<youtube>YLeIXsptPf0</youtube>The next day, March announced that the Wojtek Pact was ready to fight again following the commencement of winter break for many of its members. GMAP reciprocated, however they did not perform any military actions afterward.

=== 4th Battle of Valen ===
On December 15th, Sergei and Aldeweir of VSR went onto Koupii, the capital of KMI, and began skirmishing with KMI forces. Upon the arrival of Crisis turning it into a 2v3, NRK called for AEF reinforcements and outnumbered KMI. Wojtek saw significant success during the fight, but due to the late time of the battle and several members being sick, KMI withdrew. The skirmish angered YSR, and set the stage for the coming battle on Valen. Koupii also shut down following the battle, due to alleged technical difficulties (unless someone else knows, put it here)

On December 17th, Sergei went on Versailles Sandbox Server and heard Crisis insulting him. Sergei took offense to this, called AEF to reinforce him, and challenged Crisis to a fight on Valen. Crisis accepted the challenge and both sides moved to Valen for the battle. During the fight, YSR took significant losses to AEF combined arms warfare, with IFVs being harassed by a combination of aircraft, infantry, and emplacements. AEF scaled back their use of aircraft to level the playing field, but this was not enough to allow YSR to make a comeback, and they conceded defeat. The battle solidified the Wojtek Pact's control of Valen Sandbox following the failure of the previous battle to determine who occupies the server.<gallery widths="200" heights="200">

== End of the War ==
The 4th Battle of Valen was the last major battle of the war, and minor skirmishes with [[Shadow Company]] leader Computeration made up the sum of the remaining fights. With GMAP remaining inactive despite claiming its readiness to fight, the Wojtek Pact and the revived G10 International Summit rescinded recognition of GMAP as a significant member of the factions community following a ~80% super-majority vote.

=== Truth Impact ===
On December 28th, March of the [[Cerulean Taskforce]], in collaboration with Phil2014 of [[Ludasia]] and other intelligence aides, released the Truth Impact, a video revealing GMAP's tolerance of bad actors, internal corruption & infighting due to lack of strong leadership, and ties to the [[Imperial Alliance]].

''The Great Gunny War'', also referred to by ''The Great Wait War'' or ''The Great Waitriotic Snore,'' was a conflict between the revived [[Coalition]] (which then became the Wojtek Pact) and the [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact]] on Valen Sandbox. The conflict came after declining relations between the [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]]-[[Izakia|IZK]] sphere and [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] as well as the debut of ACF crew. '''The Great Gunny War''' is the first ever conflict that involved the use of ACF Crew vehicles, and is (with consent) named after the late pet dog of [[Izakia|IZK]] member Duck, which was senile and died of old age.

== Prelude (March–June 2025) ==

Following the conclusion of the [[The Great Weight War|Great Weight War]] at the end of March, both sides had declared victory. Each side cited their own reasons as to why they won. [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] perceived the conflict from a broader lens, counting battles before and outside of Theater of Operations as part of their victories, while the Coalition adopted a narrower lens and focused exclusively on their victories on Theater, having never considered the engagements prior to be one continuous war. The lack of a unified consensus on who won the conflict lead to dissatisfaction within the Coalition after the war's end. Furthermore, [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] and [[The Imperium|IMR]] established an embassy between each other in an effort to deescalate tensions following numerous incidents where [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]]-[[Izakia|IZK]] and [[The Imperium|IMR]] forces exchanged ammo bombs during ACF fights. Later on, [[Izakia|IZK]] was invited to the embassy. Conflict with [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] had begun due to the shared belief that [[The Imperium|IMR]] was maliciously influencing them. [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] later learned that IMR was actually there to counter attempts by the [[Imperial Alliance]] to influence GMAP. This was not known to KATO until the 12th of February, the day the embassy was established. KATO resolved to continue the war due to general distaste for GMAP's behavior.

Internal discussion within the [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]]-[[Izakia|IZK]] sphere between [[Phil 2014|Phil]], Sergei, and Tox about reviving the defunct [[Coalition|SCI Coalition]] that had resisted [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] from 2018 to 2019 was sparse and mostly discussed as a joke. However, after the end of the [[The Great Weight War|Great Weight War]], the [[Coalition]] was officially revived. [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] members and [[Izakia|IZK]] retain their original identities or membership status within respective alliances, with the Coalition acting as a general title for member factions opposing the Garry's Mod Alliance Pact. The Coalition was also sometimes referred to as the Wojtek Pact, but this is used primarily by IZK members who wanted to revive the old alliance. Both titles were used to describe the same alliance, often leading to some confusion. During the later stages of the war, the Coalition name waned and members fully adopted the Wojtek identity.

Following the war, the Coalition declined in major public activity in the meta save for individual appearances. Between the months of March and June, members of the Coalition acted as beta testers for the ACF Crew Update in undisclosed locations. Near Mid-June, the Coalition ramped up its activity slightly, invading the IA capitol server, CKC, and successfully defeating FAI forces in two consecutive battles after they switched the server to ACF-2. The Coalition also made two appearances on Versailles Sandbox and engaged IA and [[Yakugiria|YSR]] forces out of boredom.

== Beginning ==
Following multiple delays, the [[Coalition]] occupied Valen Sandbox on the 28th of June, 2025 and remained for 2 hours.<ref>https://youtu.be/p1hXDFlBj3U?si=NE_T0nlQCb5drExV</ref> At the same time, the Coalition published a declaration of war against the [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact]]. Due to [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]]'s lack of ACF crew vehicles, no ACF combat or fighting occurred in any major capacity in the opening two weeks of the war.

== Battle of Noob (Wojtek Victory)<ref>https://youtu.be/PkouTGXrSRs?si=J1MGFCyKM-AiIlbw</ref> ==
[[File:Noobkd.png|thumb|266x266px|Final recorded K/D on Noob Sandbox before players began withdrawing.]]
On July 8, 2025, [[Kalestania|NRK]] leader Jarck joined Noob, a common faction hub, prompting a heavy [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] response. The situation escalated rapidly, with [[Verslavia]] joining to fight GMAP which prompted reinforcements in turn. While [[Verslavia]] performed the bulk of infantry combat, [[Coalition]] snipers harassed GMAP forces from long range. Independent actors such as Fabinot and [[Yakugiria|YSR]] leader Crisis fought everyone casually. Near the latter stage of the battle, Caesar's Legion joined the server and utilized previously retired ACF power armor suits to provide heavy fire support for Verslavian infantry. GMAP forces took severe losses and gradually retreated from the server, with [[CatGopher98|Catgopher]] leaving last. Verslavia was admitted into the Wojtek Pact following the battle.

'''Wojtek K/D: 2.19 (521/237)'''

'''GMAP K/D: 0.42 (82/195)'''

== Noob Deescalation ==
On July 9, 2025, Wojtek and [[Yakugiria|YSR]] forces (which were neutral in the conflict) engaged on Noob Sandbox in the afternoon. Due to Noob's lack of enforcement of crew vehicles, non-crew vehicles remained functional, giving [[Yakugiria|YSR]] an upper hand in fighting [[Izakia]]n crew vehicles. The battle erupted into a heated argument over the use of non-crew vehicles and personal attacks and YSR's admittance of former Imperial Alliance members such as Ratakis and Duff. Baccio, leader of [[Kathlaxia]], intervened and successfully deescalated the situation. Wojtek Pact and Yakugirian members continued discussions in the Global Military Agreement discord voice channel and agreed to deescalate the conflict between each other. As a result, Wojtek and Yakugiria reached a state of neutrality between each other.

== Battle of Gendrome (Inconclusive) ==
On July 12, 2025, a mixed [[Ludasia]]n-[[Verslavia]]n force invaded Gendrome and interrupted a GMAP training session. The battle lasted an hour with both sides suffering heavy casualties and enduring extreme lag conditions. K/D calculations have proven excessively difficult due to multiple player crashes during the latter end of the fight as the lag intensified.

== Versailles Campaign ==

=== Versailles Skirmish (Minor Engagement) ===
On July 16, 2025, a Wojtek force consisting of IZK, NRK, CTF, and LUD joined Versailles to engage [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]]. [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] was reinforced by [[Shadow Company]], but quickly retreated from the server, citing the time as being too late to commit to a fight.

=== Battle of Versailles (Wojtek Victory)<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUZWPSV9_DI</ref> ===
[[File:VersaillesInfantryCoalition.png|thumb|338x338px|Wojtek forces pushing down a street with the support of an IFV.]]
On July 24, 2025, Wojtek forces noticed a [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]]-[[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] presence on Versailles. Assuming it was a training exercise, a scout was sent to survey the scene, only to find out that it was a genuine [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] incursion. A combined [[Kalestania|NRK]], [[Ludasia|LUD]], and [[Izakia|IZK]] force joined the server and engaged a handful of [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] tanks, which were [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] exports. Following the loss of 3 tanks and advdupe2 losing functionality occasionally during the battle, both forces relegated to standard M9K PVP for most of the battle. Wojtek forces utilized combined arms warfare, with infantry being supported by an IFV from [[International Weapons Corporation|International Weapons Conglomerate]] driven by Ape. This gave them a significant advantage dealing with GMAP forces, and even cleared out one small base with its supporting fire. The battle lasted an estimated 2 hours, with [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]] reinforcements arriving and putting extra pressure on GMAP with infantry and armored forces. GMAP forces gradually withdrew from the server and conceded defeat.

The Wojtek Pact had previously claimed Versailles as shown in a propaganda video,<ref>https://youtu.be/tGh6FIcfG30?si=_9ZtZsDHv3lS1gb9&t=155</ref> but after hearing that the server staff wished for the server to remain neutral, the Wojtek Pact withdrew its claim after an internal discussion.

'''Wojtek K/D: 2.57 (535/208)'''

'''GMAP K/D: 0.71 (327/512)'''

=== 2nd Battle of Versailles (Stalemate) ===
(I was personally not there, there will be a lot of missing details -Phil)

On July 25, 2025, Wojtek Pact forces engaged [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] on Versailles sandbox for the 2nd time. During the battle, the map switched to gm_bigcity_improved where fighting continued. The battle became very chaotic due to the use of 3 different mediums: Glide, ACF, and M9K. This complicated the means to combat each other's vehicles, as Glide could kill ACF but not vice versa, while M9K could kill both. Both sides fought hard, but the resulting K/D calculations caused a divide between who won the battle. Since the K/D difference was 0.002 (which equates to 1 kill), the Wojtek Pact considers the battle to be a stalemate due to the microscopic K/D delta and the fact that GMAP did not rejoin following a server crash, while GMAP considered it to be a victory.

'''Wojtek K/D: 1.015 (347/342)'''

'''GMAP K/D: 1.017 (466/458)'''

=== Versailles Controversy ===
Versailles began experiencing a period of decline after August 15 after [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] declared war on [[Multi Purpose Task Force (M.P.T.F)|MPTF]], the native clan that garrisons the server. Wattson, a [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] member, had defected to [[Multi Purpose Task Force (M.P.T.F)|MPTF]]. Due to the conflict, MPTF server staff banned multiple clans from the server, claiming that DRS had violated the server's mandate that claims were prohibited. After the controversy reached the rest of the community, the bans were eventually lifted. Immediately the next day, dupesteal allegations spread on the server after MPTF members were allegedly seen possessing DRS technology. A server random fueled the controversy by alleging that he had seen them spawning out tech from various [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] factions and reviewing them in private. These allegations ultimately fell flat as it was discovered that the random was a former [[Inner Sphere Alliance|ISA]] member attempting to cause chaos.

Various other grievances with the server have significantly harmed its reputation, citing inconsistent rule enforcement, general incompetence, and delayed response times to reports of rulebreaking. [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] went as far as declaring Versailles a "[[The Turtle Nation|TTN]] category server" in reference to That Sandbox Server. As a result of these controversies and concerns with security, the Wojtek Pact scaled back official operations on the server. After the fog was cleared and the dupesteal allegations were debunked, the Wojtek Pact played on the server casually to fight [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] and spectate other smaller conflicts that occurred.

== Valen Campaign ==

=== 1st Battle of Valen (Wojtek Victory)<ref>https://youtu.be/B0xI6BAbFsM?si=ldQB9b0PRl5fCuHg</ref> ===
Throughout the course of the war, only token [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] forces had attempted to contest the Wojtek Pact's occupation of Valen Sandbox. The primary GMAP force engaging the Wojtek Pact on Valen was [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]], led by Larry. Nearly all incursions had been carried out by DRS, but faced overwhelming Wojtek defenses each time. The Wojtek has stated that these battles will not be counted against GMAP because they were short-lived and involve DRS being very outnumbered.

This changed following a direct invasion of Valen by [[Cat-Gopher Industries|CGI]]-[[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] forces on July 30. The Wojtek Pact had such a huge response that the server neared its maximum player limit, forcing some to leave or be kicked by an admin to make room for GMAP. The battle originally was meant to be between [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]] and GMAP explicitly, but frustration against GMAP's inaction by the Wojtek Pact had reached a fever pitch, and the rest of the alliance participated in the battle anyway. ULSCI forces made up the bulk of the fight early on, but [[Izakia|IZK]], [[Verslavia|VSR]], [[Cerulean Taskforce|CTF]], [[Kathlaxia|KAX]], and [[International Weapons Corporation|IW]] began to rotate into the fight. GMAP forces maintained cohesion despite the Wojtek Pact's advances, but ultimately fell to flanking attacks and combined arms warfare supplemented by [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]] and [[Cerulean Taskforce|CTF]] air support. The map also switched from gm_warmap to gm_bigcity, where GMAP armored forces took greater losses as they became scattered and vastly outnumbered. The battle lasted a total of two hours, with GMAP conceding the fight and stating that they would continue the fight for Valen sandbox the next day.

The Battle of Valen is one of if not the largest tank battles in Garry's Mod Faction history. Almost all of Valen sandbox's 24 player slots were filled, and tanks engaged each other in platoon numbers. The server experienced high lag conditions, but both sides endured and fought through the lag.<gallery widths="240">

=== KXMI Skirmishes and ULSCI's "Great Crusade" ===
[[File:ULSCITanks.png|thumb|2 ULSCI tanks during the Great Crusade.]]
On August 4, A minor [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] force engaged Larry, believing him to be [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]]. However, Larry was in fact fighting for [[Koupii-Modrik International|KXMI]] after [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] refused to aid him. KXMI forces engaged KATO with heavy losses on both sides. Since KXMI and the Wojtek Pact were not at war with each other, a breakdown in the diplomatic situation ensued. This was compounded further when [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]], a Wojtek member, launched their Great Crusade, declaring war on every faction out of boredom and engaging both sides. Before this however, [[Bozostan]], a former [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization]] faction, was fighting its own war on [[NPC Zombies Vs. Players]] out of boredom. Castle, the leader of Bozostan, saw this as an opportunity to create more positive relations between the two. However, on 7/27/2025, [[Ludasia]]'s leader Phil would negotiate with KXMI, asking for KXMI to stop sending PvPers to ACF fights as-long as Wojtek didn't help Bozostan on NPC Zombies Vs. Players, This upset the members of Bozostan who would view this as a sign of weakness from the Wojtek Pact and KATO, thus leading to the expulsion of most KATO figures from the Bozostan discord and the severing of communication between the two on a large scale. Due to this recent diplomatic incident, Bozostan would support ULSCI in its great crusade, providing man power and infantry support. Upon ULSCI's launch of the crusade it was promptly ejected from the Wojtek Pact. Despite lines being drawn, confusion amongst the Wojtek Pact regarding who was and wasn't an enemy made the 3-way battle untenable, and thus withdrew from the battle. KXMI continued fighting ULSCI forces until they withdrew as well, then declared victory. This would be ULSCI's only battle of their crusade as time was drawing short and summer was ending.

KXMI heavily criticized GMAP for refusing to aid Larry in taking back their lost territory. Larry then announced his withdrawal from GMAP, citing their lack of aid on multiple instances.

=== 2nd KXMI Skirmish ===
The Wojtek Pact took offense towards [[Koupii-Modrik International|KXMI]]'s occupation on the server and their celebration following yesterday's battle. On August 5, Wojtek forces secured control of Valen Sandbox in a rapid invasion. Due to overwhelming Wojtek numbers, KXMI was pushed out of their defensive positions at the sewage plant on gm_bigcity and withdrew from the server. Relations between KXMI and the Wojtek Pact soured as a result of the battle, with KXMI insisting that the Wojtek Pact was taking it too seriously.

=== 2nd Battle of Valen ===

==== Prelude ====
During Wojtek Pact discussions regarding a course of action following recent fights with [[Koupii-Modrik International|KXMI]], the alliance received news about [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] bringing the Imperial Alliance, an alliance known for having cheaters such as Bluemetaknight and Breacher, into its fold. This sparked community-wide outrage, and the Wojtek Pact and KXMI alliances agreed to a ceasefire to fight against a common enemy. [[Yakugiria]] and the [[The Imperium|Imperium]] both warned GMAP that if they did not expel IA from its alliance, then they would declare war. Since [[CatGopher98]], GMAP's leader, remained silent on the matter, the Wojtek Pact prepared to fight a protracted war against a GMAP-IA combined force.

==== Battle ====
On August 6, a small [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] force consisting of [[Cat-Gopher Industries|CGI]], [[Solar Imperium|SOL]], and [[Shadow Company|SC]] arrived on Valen. A massive [[Coalition]] response began, with [[International Weapons Corporation|IW]], [[Cerulean Taskforce|CTF]], [[Ludasia|LUD]], [[Independent Karelian Republic|IKR]], [[Kalestania|NRK]], [[Verslavia|VSR]], and [[Izakia|IZK]] mobilizing in defense of the server. Upon changing the map to gm_warmap, Catgopher did not reconnect. As the Wojtek Pact set up positions on a hill, Imperial Alliance forces were spotted deploying tanks, some having GMAP roundels. Wojtek Pact artillery suppressed any attempt by GMAP to launch an attack, with tanks positioning themselves to hit targets from multiple angles at once. GMAP forces attempted multiple breakouts from one of the fortresses signature to gm_warmap, but were stopped each time by superior Wojtek Pact firepower. The Imperial Alliance attempted to aid GMAP, but were defeated by direct fire artillery, aircraft, and close quarters tank fights. GMAP was outnumbered and outgunned, and silently withdrew from the server. Mr. Radd complained about an NRK tank using a primitive prop as its turret armor, which breaks the implicit agreement by both belligerents not to use primitives for the main armor of a tank, and KATO assured him that it would be fixed.<gallery widths="300">

=== Operation Eclipse ===
[[File:OperationEclipse.png|thumb|421x421px|GMAP and KMI posing for a photoshoot on Valen Sandbox.]]
Due to inactivity from [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]], the Wojtek Pact had declared victory on August 13. The next day, GMAP and KMI coordinated a two-pronged attack on the Wojtek Pact, occupying Versailles and completely filling Valen sandbox, making a counterattack on Valen unfeasible due to the fact that Wojtek would have been severely outnumbered (with an estimated 3-4 slots open, with the rest being GMAP and KMI). Furthermore, Versailles had its ACF damage perms set to build mode, making ACF combat impossible on the server. Wojtek prepared a large response force of approximately 10 members and opted to wait for slots to open to allow for a counterattack, but GMAP and KMI completely withdrew from both servers and cited the lack of a response from Wojtek in spite of the player slots being filled on Valen. GMAP declared the operation, named "Eclipse," a success, though the tactic of packing servers became a point of controversy as it denied the Wojtek Pact a fair opportunity to fight back.

Following KMI's declaration of war against the Wojtek Pact, the Imperium, a member of KMI, withdrew from the alliance due to conflict of interest, seeking to retain cordial diplomatic relations with KATO.

=== 3rd Battle of Valen (Inconclusive) ===
On August 17, Wojtek Pact and [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] forces began fighting at around 5:30 PM EST. The battle lasted 2 hours with both sides gaining and losing momentum throughout various periods of the battle. Both sides suffered heavy losses, but KMI withdrew from the battle after 2 hours had passed, with Crisis conceding defeat (which was contested by the rest of KMI leadership). A major controversy was the use of automated anti-air turrets by KMI during the battle, which were the cause of many [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] aircraft losses. Due to the dangerous precedent of automated weaponry and the historical taboo associated with it, both sides agreed to ban it from further use in the conflict.

== Late Stage (WIP) ==
Improved relations with [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] following the 3rd Battle of Valen and an agreement to hold off on conducting serious battles led to the conflict slowing down significantly. With both [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] and the Wojtek Pact reducing their activity due to factors such as burnout, the end of summer, and resumption of education, serious fighting effectively ceased after the 3rd Battle of Valen. Though there were multiple skirmishes between the Wojtek Pact and KMI on Versailles, both sides agreed that they were not serious fights. The Wojtek Pact ultimately achieved its goal of pushing GMAP out of Valen sandbox and taking it for themselves, inflicting heavy losses on them in doing so. Hostilities have not officially ended, though major fighting has slowed down significantly.

=== Return of AEF ===
On December 12th, 2025, the Arterian Expeditionary Force (previously named the Assault Expeditionary Force) announced its return to the Gmod meta after five years of inactivity. The Wojtek Pact had been working in secret for months to help AEF return, providing technological assistance, training, and catching them up on the geopolitical situation. On the day of their return, AEF published a video to their channel to announce it.

<youtube>YLeIXsptPf0</youtube>The next day, March announced that the Wojtek Pact was ready to fight again following the commencement of winter break for many of its members. GMAP reciprocated, however they did not perform any military actions afterward.

=== 4th Battle of Valen ===
On December 15th, Sergei and Aldeweir of VSR went onto Koupii, the capital of KMI, and began skirmishing with KMI forces. Upon the arrival of Crisis turning it into a 2v3, NRK called for AEF reinforcements and outnumbered KMI. Wojtek saw significant success during the fight, but due to the late time of the battle and several members being sick, KMI withdrew. The skirmish angered YSR, and set the stage for the coming battle on Valen.

On December 17th, Sergei went on Versailles Sandbox Server and heard Crisis insulting him. Sergei took offense to this, called AEF to reinforce him, and challenged Crisis to a fight on Valen. Crisis accepted the challenge and both sides moved to Valen for the battle. During the fight, YSR took significant losses to AEF combined arms warfare, with IFVs being harassed by a combination of aircraft, infantry, and emplacements. AEF scaled back their use of aircraft to level the playing field, but this was not enough to allow YSR to make a comeback, and they conceded defeat. The battle solidified the Wojtek Pact's control of Valen Sandbox following the failure of the previous battle to determine who occupies the server.<gallery widths="200" heights="200">

== End of the War ==
The 4th Battle of Valen was the last major battle of the war, and minor skirmishes with [[Shadow Company]] leader Computeration made up the sum of the remaining fights. With GMAP remaining inactive despite claiming its readiness to fight, the Wojtek Pact and the revived G10 International Summit rescinded recognition of GMAP as a significant member of the factions community following a ~80% super-majority vote.

=== Truth Impact ===
On December 28th, March of the [[Cerulean Taskforce]], in collaboration with Phil2014 of [[Ludasia]] and other intelligence aides, released the Truth Impact, a video revealing GMAP's tolerance of bad actors, internal corruption & infighting due to lack of strong leadership, and ties to the [[Imperial Alliance]].

''The Great Gunny War'', also referred to by ''The Great Wait War'' or ''The Great Waitriotic Snore,'' was a conflict between the revived [[Coalition]] (which then became the Wojtek Pact) and the [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact]] on Valen Sandbox. The conflict came after declining relations between the [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]]-[[Izakia|IZK]] sphere and [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] as well as the debut of ACF crew. '''The Great Gunny War''' is the first ever conflict that involved the use of ACF Crew vehicles.

== Prelude (March–June 2025) ==

Following the conclusion of the [[The Great Weight War|Great Weight War]] at the end of March, both sides had declared victory. Each side cited their own reasons as to why they won. [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] perceived the conflict from a broader lens, counting battles before and outside of Theater of Operations as part of their victories, while the Coalition adopted a narrower lens and focused exclusively on their victories on Theater, having never considered the engagements prior to be one continuous war. The lack of a unified consensus on who won the conflict lead to dissatisfaction within the Coalition after the war's end. Furthermore, [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] and [[The Imperium|IMR]] established an embassy between each other in an effort to deescalate tensions following numerous incidents where [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]]-[[Izakia|IZK]] and [[The Imperium|IMR]] forces exchanged ammo bombs during ACF fights. Later on, [[Izakia|IZK]] was invited to the embassy. Conflict with [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] had begun due to the shared belief that [[The Imperium|IMR]] was maliciously influencing them. [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] later learned that IMR was actually there to counter attempts by the [[Imperial Alliance]] to influence GMAP. This was not known to KATO until the 12th of February, the day the embassy was established. KATO resolved to continue the war due to general distaste for GMAP's behavior.

Internal discussion within the [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]]-[[Izakia|IZK]] sphere between [[Phil 2014|Phil]], Sergei, and Tox about reviving the defunct [[Coalition|SCI Coalition]] that had resisted [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] from 2018 to 2019 was sparse and mostly discussed as a joke. However, after the end of the [[The Great Weight War|Great Weight War]], the [[Coalition]] was officially revived. [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] members and [[Izakia|IZK]] retain their original identities or membership status within respective alliances, with the Coalition acting as a general title for member factions opposing the Garry's Mod Alliance Pact. The Coalition was also sometimes referred to as the Wojtek Pact, but this is used primarily by IZK members who wanted to revive the old alliance. Both titles were used to describe the same alliance, often leading to some confusion. During the later stages of the war, the Coalition name waned and members fully adopted the Wojtek identity.

Following the war, the Coalition declined in major public activity in the meta save for individual appearances. Between the months of March and June, members of the Coalition acted as beta testers for the ACF Crew Update in undisclosed locations. Near Mid-June, the Coalition ramped up its activity slightly, invading the IA capitol server, CKC, and successfully defeating FAI forces in two consecutive battles after they switched the server to ACF-2. The Coalition also made two appearances on Versailles Sandbox and engaged IA and [[Yakugiria|YSR]] forces out of boredom.

== Beginning ==
Following multiple delays, the [[Coalition]] occupied Valen Sandbox on the 28th of June, 2025 and remained for 2 hours.<ref>https://youtu.be/p1hXDFlBj3U?si=NE_T0nlQCb5drExV</ref> At the same time, the Coalition published a declaration of war against the [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact]]. Due to [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]]'s lack of ACF crew vehicles, no ACF combat or fighting occurred in any major capacity in the opening two weeks of the war.

== Battle of Noob (Wojtek Victory)<ref>https://youtu.be/PkouTGXrSRs?si=J1MGFCyKM-AiIlbw</ref> ==
[[File:Noobkd.png|thumb|266x266px|Final recorded K/D on Noob Sandbox before players began withdrawing.]]
On July 8, 2025, [[Kalestania|NRK]] leader Jarck joined Noob, a common faction hub, prompting a heavy [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] response. The situation escalated rapidly, with [[Verslavia]] joining to fight GMAP which prompted reinforcements in turn. While [[Verslavia]] performed the bulk of infantry combat, [[Coalition]] snipers harassed GMAP forces from long range. Independent actors such as Fabinot and [[Yakugiria|YSR]] leader Crisis fought everyone casually. Near the latter stage of the battle, Caesar's Legion joined the server and utilized previously retired ACF power armor suits to provide heavy fire support for Verslavian infantry. GMAP forces took severe losses and gradually retreated from the server, with [[CatGopher98|Catgopher]] leaving last. Verslavia was admitted into the Wojtek Pact following the battle.

'''Wojtek K/D: 2.19 (521/237)'''

'''GMAP K/D: 0.42 (82/195)'''

== Noob Deescalation ==
On July 9, 2025, Wojtek and [[Yakugiria|YSR]] forces (which were neutral in the conflict) engaged on Noob Sandbox in the afternoon. Due to Noob's lack of enforcement of crew vehicles, non-crew vehicles remained functional, giving [[Yakugiria|YSR]] an upper hand in fighting [[Izakia]]n crew vehicles. The battle erupted into a heated argument over the use of non-crew vehicles and personal attacks and YSR's admittance of former Imperial Alliance members such as Ratakis and Duff. Baccio, leader of [[Kathlaxia]], intervened and successfully deescalated the situation. Wojtek Pact and Yakugirian members continued discussions in the Global Military Agreement discord voice channel and agreed to deescalate the conflict between each other. As a result, Wojtek and Yakugiria reached a state of neutrality between each other.

== Battle of Gendrome (Inconclusive) ==
On July 12, 2025, a mixed [[Ludasia]]n-[[Verslavia]]n force invaded Gendrome and interrupted a GMAP training session. The battle lasted an hour with both sides suffering heavy casualties and enduring extreme lag conditions. K/D calculations have proven excessively difficult due to multiple player crashes during the latter end of the fight as the lag intensified.

== Versailles Campaign ==

=== Versailles Skirmish (Minor Engagement) ===
On July 16, 2025, a Wojtek force consisting of IZK, NRK, CTF, and LUD joined Versailles to engage [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]]. [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] was reinforced by [[Shadow Company]], but quickly retreated from the server, citing the time as being too late to commit to a fight.

[[File:VersaillesInfantryCoalition.png|thumb|338x338px|Wojtek forces pushing down a street with the support of an IFV.]]
On July 24, 2025, Wojtek forces noticed a [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]]-[[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] presence on Versailles. Assuming it was a training exercise, a scout was sent to survey the scene, only to find out that it was a genuine [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] incursion. A combined [[Kalestania|NRK]], [[Ludasia|LUD]], and [[Izakia|IZK]] force joined the server and engaged a handful of [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] tanks, which were [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] exports. Following the loss of 3 tanks and advdupe2 losing functionality occasionally during the battle, both forces relegated to standard M9K PVP for most of the battle. Wojtek forces utilized combined arms warfare, with infantry being supported by an IFV from [[International Weapons Corporation|International Weapons Conglomerate]] driven by Ape. This gave them a significant advantage dealing with GMAP forces, and even cleared out one small base with its supporting fire. The battle lasted an estimated 2 hours, with [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]] reinforcements arriving and putting extra pressure on GMAP with infantry and armored forces. GMAP forces gradually withdrew from the server and conceded defeat.

The Wojtek Pact had previously claimed Versailles as shown in a propaganda video,<ref>https://youtu.be/tGh6FIcfG30?si=_9ZtZsDHv3lS1gb9&t=155</ref> but after hearing that the server staff wished for the server to remain neutral, the Wojtek Pact withdrew its claim after an internal discussion.

'''Wojtek K/D: 2.57 (535/208)'''

'''GMAP K/D: 0.71 (327/512)'''

=== 2nd Battle of Versailles (Stalemate) ===
(I was personally not there, there will be a lot of missing details -Phil)

On July 25, 2025, Wojtek Pact forces engaged [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] on Versailles sandbox for the 2nd time. During the battle, the map switched to gm_bigcity_improved where fighting continued. The battle became very chaotic due to the use of 3 different mediums: Glide, ACF, and M9K. This complicated the means to combat each other's vehicles, as Glide could kill ACF but not vice versa, while M9K could kill both. Both sides fought hard, but the resulting K/D calculations caused a divide between who won the battle. Since the K/D difference was 0.002 (which equates to 1 kill), the Wojtek Pact considers the battle to be a stalemate due to the microscopic K/D delta and the fact that GMAP did not rejoin following a server crash, while GMAP considered it to be a victory.

'''Wojtek K/D: 1.015 (347/342)'''

'''GMAP K/D: 1.017 (466/458)'''

=== Versailles Controversy ===
Versailles began experiencing a period of decline after August 15 after [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] declared war on [[Multi Purpose Task Force (M.P.T.F)|MPTF]], the native clan that garrisons the server. Wattson, a [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] member, had defected to [[Multi Purpose Task Force (M.P.T.F)|MPTF]]. Due to the conflict, MPTF server staff banned multiple clans from the server, claiming that DRS had violated the server's mandate that claims were prohibited. After the controversy reached the rest of the community, the bans were eventually lifted. Immediately the next day, dupesteal allegations spread on the server after MPTF members were allegedly seen possessing DRS technology. A server random fueled the controversy by alleging that he had seen them spawning out tech from various [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] factions and reviewing them in private. These allegations ultimately fell flat as it was discovered that the random was a former [[Inner Sphere Alliance|ISA]] member attempting to cause chaos.

Various other grievances with the server have significantly harmed its reputation, citing inconsistent rule enforcement, general incompetence, and delayed response times to reports of rulebreaking. [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] went as far as declaring Versailles a "[[The Turtle Nation|TTN]] category server" in reference to That Sandbox Server. As a result of these controversies and concerns with security, the Wojtek Pact scaled back official operations on the server. After the fog was cleared and the dupesteal allegations were debunked, the Wojtek Pact played on the server casually to fight [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] and spectate other smaller conflicts that occurred.

== Valen Campaign ==

=== 1st Battle of Valen (Wojtek Victory)<ref>https://youtu.be/B0xI6BAbFsM?si=ldQB9b0PRl5fCuHg</ref> ===
Throughout the course of the war, only token [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] forces had attempted to contest the Wojtek Pact's occupation of Valen Sandbox. The primary GMAP force engaging the Wojtek Pact on Valen was [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]], led by Larry. Nearly all incursions had been carried out by DRS, but faced overwhelming Wojtek defenses each time. The Wojtek has stated that these battles will not be counted against GMAP because they were short-lived and involve DRS being very outnumbered.

This changed following a direct invasion of Valen by [[Cat-Gopher Industries|CGI]]-[[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] forces on July 30. The Wojtek Pact had such a huge response that the server neared its maximum player limit, forcing some to leave or be kicked by an admin to make room for GMAP. The battle originally was meant to be between [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]] and GMAP explicitly, but frustration against GMAP's inaction by the Wojtek Pact had reached a fever pitch, and the rest of the alliance participated in the battle anyway. ULSCI forces made up the bulk of the fight early on, but [[Izakia|IZK]], [[Verslavia|VSR]], [[Cerulean Taskforce|CTF]], [[Kathlaxia|KAX]], and [[International Weapons Corporation|IW]] began to rotate into the fight. GMAP forces maintained cohesion despite the Wojtek Pact's advances, but ultimately fell to flanking attacks and combined arms warfare supplemented by [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]] and [[Cerulean Taskforce|CTF]] air support. The map also switched from gm_warmap to gm_bigcity, where GMAP armored forces took greater losses as they became scattered and vastly outnumbered. The battle lasted a total of two hours, with GMAP conceding the fight and stating that they would continue the fight for Valen sandbox the next day.

The Battle of Valen is one of if not the largest tank battles in Garry's Mod Faction history. Almost all of Valen sandbox's 24 player slots were filled, and tanks engaged each other in platoon numbers. The server experienced high lag conditions, but both sides endured and fought through the lag.<gallery widths="240">

=== KXMI Skirmishes and ULSCI's "Great Crusade" ===
[[File:ULSCITanks.png|thumb|2 ULSCI tanks during the Great Crusade.]]
On August 4, A minor [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] force engaged Larry, believing him to be [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]]. However, Larry was in fact fighting for [[Koupii-Modrik International|KXMI]] after [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] refused to aid him. KXMI forces engaged KATO with heavy losses on both sides. Since KXMI and the Wojtek Pact were not at war with each other, a breakdown in the diplomatic situation ensued. This was compounded further when [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]], a Wojtek member, launched their Great Crusade, declaring war on every faction out of boredom and engaging both sides. Before this however, [[Bozostan]], a former [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization]] faction, was fighting its own war on [[NPC Zombies Vs. Players]] out of boredom. Castle, the leader of Bozostan, saw this as an opportunity to create more positive relations between the two. However, on 7/27/2025, [[Ludasia]]'s leader Phil would negotiate with KXMI, asking for KXMI to stop sending PvPers to ACF fights as-long as Wojtek didn't help Bozostan on NPC Zombies Vs. Players, This upset the members of Bozostan who would view this as a sign of weakness from the Wojtek Pact and KATO, thus leading to the expulsion of most KATO figures from the Bozostan discord and the severing of communication between the two on a large scale. Due to this recent diplomatic incident, Bozostan would support ULSCI in its great crusade, providing man power and infantry support. Upon ULSCI's launch of the crusade it was promptly ejected from the Wojtek Pact. Despite lines being drawn, confusion amongst the Wojtek Pact regarding who was and wasn't an enemy made the 3-way battle untenable, and thus withdrew from the battle. KXMI continued fighting ULSCI forces until they withdrew as well, then declared victory. This would be ULSCI's only battle of their crusade as time was drawing short and summer was ending.

KXMI heavily criticized GMAP for refusing to aid Larry in taking back their lost territory. Larry then announced his withdrawal from GMAP, citing their lack of aid on multiple instances.
[[File:Gm bigcity improved0025.png|thumb|302x302px|Yakugirian forces stationed at the sewage plant on gm_bigcity during their occupation.]]

=== 2nd KXMI Skirmish ===
The Wojtek Pact took offense towards [[Koupii-Modrik International|KXMI]]'s occupation on the server and their celebration following yesterday's battle. On August 5, Wojtek forces secured control of Valen Sandbox in a rapid invasion. Due to overwhelming Wojtek numbers, KXMI was pushed out of their defensive positions at the sewage plant on gm_bigcity and withdrew from the server. Relations between KXMI and the Wojtek Pact soured as a result of the battle, with KXMI insisting that the Wojtek Pact was taking it too seriously.

=== 2nd Battle of Valen ===

==== Prelude ====
During Wojtek Pact discussions regarding a course of action following recent fights with [[Koupii-Modrik International|KXMI]], the alliance received news about [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] bringing the Imperial Alliance, an alliance known for having cheaters such as Bluemetaknight and Breacher, into its fold. This sparked community-wide outrage, and the Wojtek Pact and KXMI alliances agreed to a ceasefire to fight against a common enemy. [[Yakugiria]] and the [[The Imperium|Imperium]] both warned GMAP that if they did not expel IA from its alliance, then they would declare war. Since [[CatGopher98]], GMAP's leader, remained silent on the matter, the Wojtek Pact prepared to fight a protracted war against a GMAP-IA combined force.

==== Battle ====
On August 6, a small [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] force consisting of [[Cat-Gopher Industries|CGI]], [[Solar Imperium|SOL]], and [[Shadow Company|SC]] arrived on Valen. A massive [[Coalition]] response began, with [[International Weapons Corporation|IW]], [[Cerulean Taskforce|CTF]], [[Ludasia|LUD]], [[Independent Karelian Republic|IKR]], [[Kalestania|NRK]], [[Verslavia|VSR]], and [[Izakia|IZK]] mobilizing in defense of the server. Upon changing the map to gm_warmap, Catgopher did not reconnect. As the Wojtek Pact set up positions on a hill, Imperial Alliance forces were spotted deploying tanks, some having GMAP roundels. Wojtek Pact artillery suppressed any attempt by GMAP to launch an attack, with tanks positioning themselves to hit targets from multiple angles at once. GMAP forces attempted multiple breakouts from one of the fortresses signature to gm_warmap, but were stopped each time by superior Wojtek Pact firepower. The Imperial Alliance attempted to aid GMAP, but were defeated by direct fire artillery, aircraft, and close quarters tank fights. GMAP was outnumbered and outgunned, and silently withdrew from the server. Mr. Radd complained about an NRK tank using a primitive prop as its turret armor, which breaks the implicit agreement by both belligerents not to use primitives for the main armor of a tank, and KATO assured him that it would be fixed.<gallery widths="300">

=== Operation Eclipse ===
[[File:OperationEclipse.png|thumb|421x421px|GMAP and KMI posing for a photoshoot on Valen Sandbox.]]
Due to inactivity from [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]], the Wojtek Pact had declared victory on August 13. The next day, GMAP and KMI coordinated a two-pronged attack on the Wojtek Pact, occupying Versailles and completely filling Valen sandbox, making a counterattack on Valen unfeasible due to the fact that Wojtek would have been severely outnumbered (with an estimated 3-4 slots open, with the rest being GMAP and KMI). Furthermore, Versailles had its ACF damage perms set to build mode, making ACF combat impossible on the server. Wojtek prepared a large response force of approximately 10 members and opted to wait for slots to open to allow for a counterattack, but GMAP and KMI completely withdrew from both servers and cited the lack of a response from Wojtek in spite of the player slots being filled on Valen. GMAP declared the operation, named "Eclipse," a success, though the tactic of packing servers became a point of controversy as it denied the Wojtek Pact a fair opportunity to fight back.

Following KMI's declaration of war against the Wojtek Pact, the Imperium, a member of KMI, withdrew from the alliance due to conflict of interest, seeking to retain cordial diplomatic relations with KATO.

=== 3rd Battle of Valen (Inconclusive) ===
On August 17, Wojtek Pact and [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] forces began fighting at around 5:30 PM EST. The battle lasted 2 hours with both sides gaining and losing momentum throughout various periods of the battle. Both sides suffered heavy losses, but KMI withdrew from the battle after 2 hours had passed, with Crisis conceding defeat (which was contested by the rest of KMI leadership). A major controversy was the use of automated anti-air turrets by KMI during the battle, which were the cause of many [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] aircraft losses. Due to the dangerous precedent of automated weaponry and the historical taboo associated with it, both sides agreed to ban it from further use in the conflict.

== Late Stage (WIP) ==
Improved relations with [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] following the 3rd Battle of Valen and an agreement to hold off on conducting serious battles led to the conflict slowing down significantly. With both [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] and the Wojtek Pact reducing their activity due to factors such as burnout, the end of summer, and resumption of education, serious fighting effectively ceased after the 3rd Battle of Valen. Though there were multiple skirmishes between the Wojtek Pact and KMI on Versailles, both sides agreed that they were not serious fights. The Wojtek Pact ultimately achieved its goal of pushing GMAP out of Valen sandbox and taking it for themselves, inflicting heavy losses on them in doing so. Hostilities have not officially ended, though major fighting has slowed down significantly.

=== Return of AEF ===
On December 12th, 2025, the Arterian Expeditionary Force (previously named the Assault Expeditionary Force) announced its return to the Gmod meta after five years of inactivity. The Wojtek Pact had been working in secret for months to help AEF return, providing technological assistance, training, and catching them up on the geopolitical situation. On the day of their return, AEF published a video to their channel to announce it.

<youtube>YLeIXsptPf0</youtube>The next day, March announced that the Wojtek Pact was ready to fight again following the commencement of winter break for many of its members. GMAP reciprocated, however they did not perform any military actions afterward.

=== 4th Battle of Valen ===
On December 15th, Sergei and Aldeweir of VSR went onto Koupii, the capital of KMI, and began skirmishing with KMI forces. Upon the arrival of Crisis turning it into a 2v3, NRK called for AEF reinforcements and outnumbered KMI. Wojtek saw significant success during the fight, but due to the late time of the battle and several members being sick, KMI withdrew. The skirmish angered YSR, and set the stage for the coming battle on Valen.

On December 17th, Sergei went on Versailles Sandbox Server and heard Crisis insulting him. Sergei took offense to this, called AEF to reinforce him, and challenged Crisis to a fight on Valen. Crisis accepted the challenge and both sides moved to Valen for the battle. During the fight, YSR took significant losses to AEF combined arms warfare, with IFVs being harassed by a combination of aircraft, infantry, and emplacements. AEF scaled back their use of aircraft to level the playing field, but this was not enough to allow YSR to make a comeback, and they conceded defeat. The battle solidified the Wojtek Pact's control of Valen Sandbox following the failure of the previous battle to determine who occupies the server.<gallery widths="200" heights="200">

== End of the War ==
The 4th Battle of Valen was the last major battle of the war, and minor skirmishes with [[Shadow Company]] leader Computeration made up the sum of the remaining fights. With GMAP remaining inactive despite claiming its readiness to fight, the Wojtek Pact and the revived G10 International Summit rescinded recognition of GMAP as a significant member of the factions community following a ~80% super-majority vote.

=== Truth Impact ===
On December 28th, March of the [[Cerulean Taskforce]], in collaboration with Phil2014 of [[Ludasia]] and other intelligence aides, released the Truth Impact, a video revealing GMAP's tolerance of bad actors, internal corruption & infighting due to lack of strong leadership, and ties to the [[Imperial Alliance]].

''The Great Gunny War'', also referred to by ''The Great Wait War'' or ''The Great Waitriotic Snore,'' was a conflict between the revived [[Coalition]] (which then became the Wojtek Pact) and the [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact]] on Valen Sandbox. The conflict came after declining relations between the [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]]-[[Izakia|IZK]] sphere and [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] as well as the debut of ACF crew. '''The Great Gunny War''' is the first ever conflict that involved the use of ACF Crew vehicles.

== Prelude (March–June 2025) ==

Following the conclusion of the [[The Great Weight War|Great Weight War]] at the end of March, both sides had declared victory. Each side cited their own reasons as to why they won. [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] perceived the conflict from a broader lens, counting battles before and outside of Theater of Operations as part of their victories, while the Coalition adopted a narrower lens and focused exclusively on their victories on Theater, having never considered the engagements prior to be one continuous war. The lack of a unified consensus on who won the conflict lead to dissatisfaction within the Coalition after the war's end. Furthermore, [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] and [[The Imperium|IMR]] established an embassy between each other in an effort to deescalate tensions following numerous incidents where [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]]-[[Izakia|IZK]] and [[The Imperium|IMR]] forces exchanged ammo bombs during ACF fights. Later on, [[Izakia|IZK]] was invited to the embassy. Conflict with [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] had begun due to the shared belief that [[The Imperium|IMR]] was maliciously influencing them. [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] later learned that IMR was actually there to counter attempts by the [[Imperial Alliance]] to influence GMAP. This was not known to KATO until the 12th of February, the day the embassy was established. KATO resolved to continue the war due to general distaste for GMAP's behavior.

Internal discussion within the [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]]-[[Izakia|IZK]] sphere between [[Phil 2014|Phil]], Sergei, and Tox about reviving the defunct [[Coalition|SCI Coalition]] that had resisted [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] from 2018 to 2019 was sparse and mostly discussed as a joke. However, after the end of the [[The Great Weight War|Great Weight War]], the [[Coalition]] was officially revived. [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] members and [[Izakia|IZK]] retain their original identities or membership status within respective alliances, with the Coalition acting as a general title for member factions opposing the Garry's Mod Alliance Pact. The Coalition was also sometimes referred to as the Wojtek Pact, but this is used primarily by IZK members who wanted to revive the old alliance. Both titles were used to describe the same alliance, often leading to some confusion. During the later stages of the war, the Coalition name waned and members fully adopted the Wojtek identity.

Following the war, the Coalition declined in major public activity in the meta save for individual appearances. Between the months of March and June, members of the Coalition acted as beta testers for the ACF Crew Update in undisclosed locations. Near Mid-June, the Coalition ramped up its activity slightly, invading the IA capitol server, CKC, and successfully defeating FAI forces in two consecutive battles after they switched the server to ACF-2. The Coalition also made two appearances on Versailles Sandbox and engaged IA and [[Yakugiria|YSR]] forces out of boredom.

== Beginning ==
Following multiple delays, the [[Coalition]] occupied Valen Sandbox on the 28th of June, 2025 and remained for 2 hours.<ref>https://youtu.be/p1hXDFlBj3U?si=NE_T0nlQCb5drExV</ref> At the same time, the Coalition published a declaration of war against the [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact]]. Due to [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]]'s lack of ACF crew vehicles, no ACF combat or fighting occurred in any major capacity in the opening two weeks of the war.

== Battle of Noob (Wojtek Victory)<ref>https://youtu.be/PkouTGXrSRs?si=J1MGFCyKM-AiIlbw</ref> ==
[[File:Noobkd.png|thumb|266x266px|Final recorded K/D on Noob Sandbox before players began withdrawing.]]
On July 8, 2025, [[Kalestania|NRK]] leader Jarck joined Noob, a common faction hub, prompting a heavy [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] response. The situation escalated rapidly, with [[Verslavia]] joining to fight GMAP which prompted reinforcements in turn. While [[Verslavia]] performed the bulk of infantry combat, [[Coalition]] snipers harassed GMAP forces from long range. Independent actors such as Fabinot and [[Yakugiria|YSR]] leader Crisis fought everyone casually. Near the latter stage of the battle, Caesar's Legion joined the server and utilized previously retired ACF power armor suits to provide heavy fire support for Verslavian infantry. GMAP forces took severe losses and gradually retreated from the server, with [[CatGopher98|Catgopher]] leaving last. Verslavia was admitted into the Wojtek Pact following the battle.

'''Wojtek K/D: 2.19 (521/237)'''

'''GMAP K/D: 0.42 (82/195)'''

== Noob Deescalation ==
On July 9, 2025, Wojtek and [[Yakugiria|YSR]] forces (which were neutral in the conflict) engaged on Noob Sandbox in the afternoon. Due to Noob's lack of enforcement of crew vehicles, non-crew vehicles remained functional, giving [[Yakugiria|YSR]] an upper hand in fighting [[Izakia]]n crew vehicles. The battle erupted into a heated argument over the use of non-crew vehicles and personal attacks and YSR's admittance of former Imperial Alliance members such as Ratakis and Duff. Baccio, leader of [[Kathlaxia]], intervened and successfully deescalated the situation. Wojtek Pact and Yakugirian members continued discussions in the Global Military Agreement discord voice channel and agreed to deescalate the conflict between each other. As a result, Wojtek and Yakugiria reached a state of neutrality between each other.

== Battle of Gendrome (Inconclusive) ==
On July 12, 2025, a mixed [[Ludasia]]n-[[Verslavia]]n force invaded Gendrome and interrupted a GMAP training session. The battle lasted an hour with both sides suffering heavy casualties and enduring extreme lag conditions. K/D calculations have proven excessively difficult due to multiple player crashes during the latter end of the fight as the lag intensified.

== Versailles Campaign ==

=== Versailles Skirmish (Minor Engagement) ===
On July 16, 2025, a Wojtek force consisting of IZK, NRK, CTF, and LUD joined Versailles to engage [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]]. [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] was reinforced by [[Shadow Company]], but quickly retreated from the server, citing the time as being too late to commit to a fight.

=== Battle of Versailles (Wojtek Victory)<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUZWPSV9_DI</ref> ===
[[File:VersaillesInfantryCoalition.png|thumb|338x338px|Wojtek forces pushing down a street with the support of an IFV.]]
On July 24, 2025, Wojtek forces noticed a [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]]-[[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] presence on Versailles. Assuming it was a training exercise, a scout was sent to survey the scene, only to find out that it was a genuine [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] incursion. A combined [[Kalestania|NRK]], [[Ludasia|LUD]], and [[Izakia|IZK]] force joined the server and engaged a handful of [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] tanks, which were [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] exports. Following the loss of 3 tanks and advdupe2 losing functionality occasionally during the battle, both forces relegated to standard M9K PVP for most of the battle. Wojtek forces utilized combined arms warfare, with infantry being supported by an IFV from [[International Weapons Corporation|International Weapons Conglomerate]] driven by Ape. This gave them a significant advantage dealing with GMAP forces, and even cleared out one small base with its supporting fire. The battle lasted an estimated 2 hours, with [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]] reinforcements arriving and putting extra pressure on GMAP with infantry and armored forces. GMAP forces gradually withdrew from the server and conceded defeat.

The Wojtek Pact had previously claimed Versailles as shown in a propaganda video,<ref>https://youtu.be/tGh6FIcfG30?si=_9ZtZsDHv3lS1gb9&t=155</ref> but after hearing that the server staff wished for the server to remain neutral, the Wojtek Pact withdrew its claim after an internal discussion.

(I was personally not there, there will be a lot of missing details -Phil)

On July 25, 2025, Wojtek Pact forces engaged [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] on Versailles sandbox for the 2nd time. During the battle, the map switched to gm_bigcity_improved where fighting continued. The battle became very chaotic due to the use of 3 different mediums: Glide, ACF, and M9K. This complicated the means to combat each other's vehicles, as Glide could kill ACF but not vice versa, while M9K could kill both. Both sides fought hard, but the resulting K/D calculations caused a divide between who won the battle. Since the K/D difference was 0.002 (which equates to 1 kill), the Wojtek Pact considers the battle to be a stalemate due to the microscopic K/D delta and the fact that GMAP did not rejoin following a server crash, while GMAP considered it to be a victory.

'''Wojtek K/D: 1.015 (347/342)'''

'''GMAP K/D: 1.017 (466/458)'''

=== Versailles Controversy ===
Versailles began experiencing a period of decline after August 15 after [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] declared war on [[Multi Purpose Task Force (M.P.T.F)|MPTF]], the native clan that garrisons the server. Wattson, a [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] member, had defected to [[Multi Purpose Task Force (M.P.T.F)|MPTF]]. Due to the conflict, MPTF server staff banned multiple clans from the server, claiming that DRS had violated the server's mandate that claims were prohibited. After the controversy reached the rest of the community, the bans were eventually lifted. Immediately the next day, dupesteal allegations spread on the server after MPTF members were allegedly seen possessing DRS technology. A server random fueled the controversy by alleging that he had seen them spawning out tech from various [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] factions and reviewing them in private. These allegations ultimately fell flat as it was discovered that the random was a former [[Inner Sphere Alliance|ISA]] member attempting to cause chaos.

Various other grievances with the server have significantly harmed its reputation, citing inconsistent rule enforcement, general incompetence, and delayed response times to reports of rulebreaking. [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] went as far as declaring Versailles a "[[The Turtle Nation|TTN]] category server" in reference to That Sandbox Server. As a result of these controversies and concerns with security, the Wojtek Pact scaled back official operations on the server. After the fog was cleared and the dupesteal allegations were debunked, the Wojtek Pact played on the server casually to fight [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] and spectate other smaller conflicts that occurred.

== Valen Campaign ==

=== 1st Battle of Valen (Wojtek Victory)<ref>https://youtu.be/B0xI6BAbFsM?si=ldQB9b0PRl5fCuHg</ref> ===
Throughout the course of the war, only token [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] forces had attempted to contest the Wojtek Pact's occupation of Valen Sandbox. The primary GMAP force engaging the Wojtek Pact on Valen was [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]], led by Larry. Nearly all incursions had been carried out by DRS, but faced overwhelming Wojtek defenses each time. The Wojtek has stated that these battles will not be counted against GMAP because they were short-lived and involve DRS being very outnumbered.

This changed following a direct invasion of Valen by [[Cat-Gopher Industries|CGI]]-[[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] forces on July 30. The Wojtek Pact had such a huge response that the server neared its maximum player limit, forcing some to leave or be kicked by an admin to make room for GMAP. The battle originally was meant to be between [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]] and GMAP explicitly, but frustration against GMAP's inaction by the Wojtek Pact had reached a fever pitch, and the rest of the alliance participated in the battle anyway. ULSCI forces made up the bulk of the fight early on, but [[Izakia|IZK]], [[Verslavia|VSR]], [[Cerulean Taskforce|CTF]], [[Kathlaxia|KAX]], and [[International Weapons Corporation|IW]] began to rotate into the fight. GMAP forces maintained cohesion despite the Wojtek Pact's advances, but ultimately fell to flanking attacks and combined arms warfare supplemented by [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]] and [[Cerulean Taskforce|CTF]] air support. The map also switched from gm_warmap to gm_bigcity, where GMAP armored forces took greater losses as they became scattered and vastly outnumbered. The battle lasted a total of two hours, with GMAP conceding the fight and stating that they would continue the fight for Valen sandbox the next day.

The Battle of Valen is one of if not the largest tank battles in Garry's Mod Faction history. Almost all of Valen sandbox's 24 player slots were filled, and tanks engaged each other in platoon numbers. The server experienced high lag conditions, but both sides endured and fought through the lag.<gallery widths="240">

=== KXMI Skirmishes and ULSCI's "Great Crusade" ===
[[File:ULSCITanks.png|thumb|2 ULSCI tanks during the Great Crusade.]]
On August 4, A minor [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] force engaged Larry, believing him to be [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]]. However, Larry was in fact fighting for [[Koupii-Modrik International|KXMI]] after [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] refused to aid him. KXMI forces engaged KATO with heavy losses on both sides. Since KXMI and the Wojtek Pact were not at war with each other, a breakdown in the diplomatic situation ensued. This was compounded further when [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]], a Wojtek member, launched their Great Crusade, declaring war on every faction out of boredom and engaging both sides. Before this however, [[Bozostan]], a former [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization]] faction, was fighting its own war on [[NPC Zombies Vs. Players]] out of boredom. Castle, the leader of Bozostan, saw this as an opportunity to create more positive relations between the two. However, on 7/27/2025, [[Ludasia]]'s leader Phil would negotiate with KXMI, asking for KXMI to stop sending PvPers to ACF fights as-long as Wojtek didn't help Bozostan on NPC Zombies Vs. Players, This upset the members of Bozostan who would view this as a sign of weakness from the Wojtek Pact and KATO, thus leading to the expulsion of most KATO figures from the Bozostan discord and the severing of communication between the two on a large scale. Due to this recent diplomatic incident, Bozostan would support ULSCI in its great crusade, providing man power and infantry support. Upon ULSCI's launch of the crusade it was promptly ejected from the Wojtek Pact. Despite lines being drawn, confusion amongst the Wojtek Pact regarding who was and wasn't an enemy made the 3-way battle untenable, and thus withdrew from the battle. KXMI continued fighting ULSCI forces until they withdrew as well, then declared victory. This would be ULSCI's only battle of their crusade as time was drawing short and summer was ending.

KXMI heavily criticized GMAP for refusing to aid Larry in taking back their lost territory. Larry then announced his withdrawal from GMAP, citing their lack of aid on multiple instances.

=== 2nd KXMI Skirmish ===
The Wojtek Pact took offense towards [[Koupii-Modrik International|KXMI]]'s occupation on the server and their celebration following yesterday's battle. On August 5, Wojtek forces secured control of Valen Sandbox in a rapid invasion. Due to overwhelming Wojtek numbers, KXMI was pushed out of their defensive positions at the sewage plant on gm_bigcity and withdrew from the server. Relations between KXMI and the Wojtek Pact soured as a result of the battle, with KXMI insisting that the Wojtek Pact was taking it too seriously.

=== 2nd Battle of Valen ===

==== Prelude ====
During Wojtek Pact discussions regarding a course of action following recent fights with [[Koupii-Modrik International|KXMI]], the alliance received news about [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] bringing the Imperial Alliance, an alliance known for having cheaters such as Bluemetaknight and Breacher, into its fold. This sparked community-wide outrage, and the Wojtek Pact and KXMI alliances agreed to a ceasefire to fight against a common enemy. [[Yakugiria]] and the [[The Imperium|Imperium]] both warned GMAP that if they did not expel IA from its alliance, then they would declare war. Since [[CatGopher98]], GMAP's leader, remained silent on the matter, the Wojtek Pact prepared to fight a protracted war against a GMAP-IA combined force.

==== Battle ====
On August 6, a small [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] force consisting of [[Cat-Gopher Industries|CGI]], [[Solar Imperium|SOL]], and [[Shadow Company|SC]] arrived on Valen. A massive [[Coalition]] response began, with [[International Weapons Corporation|IW]], [[Cerulean Taskforce|CTF]], [[Ludasia|LUD]], [[Independent Karelian Republic|IKR]], [[Kalestania|NRK]], [[Verslavia|VSR]], and [[Izakia|IZK]] mobilizing in defense of the server. Upon changing the map to gm_warmap, Catgopher did not reconnect. As the Wojtek Pact set up positions on a hill, Imperial Alliance forces were spotted deploying tanks, some having GMAP roundels. Wojtek Pact artillery suppressed any attempt by GMAP to launch an attack, with tanks positioning themselves to hit targets from multiple angles at once. GMAP forces attempted multiple breakouts from one of the fortresses signature to gm_warmap, but were stopped each time by superior Wojtek Pact firepower. The Imperial Alliance attempted to aid GMAP, but were defeated by direct fire artillery, aircraft, and close quarters tank fights. GMAP was outnumbered and outgunned, and silently withdrew from the server. Mr. Radd complained about an NRK tank using a primitive prop as its turret armor, which breaks the implicit agreement by both belligerents not to use primitives for the main armor of a tank, and KATO assured him that it would be fixed.<gallery widths="300">

=== Operation Eclipse ===
[[File:OperationEclipse.png|thumb|421x421px|GMAP and KMI posing for a photoshoot on Valen Sandbox.]]
Due to inactivity from [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]], the Wojtek Pact had declared victory on August 13. The next day, GMAP and KMI coordinated a two-pronged attack on the Wojtek Pact, occupying Versailles and completely filling Valen sandbox, making a counterattack on Valen unfeasible due to the fact that Wojtek would have been severely outnumbered (with an estimated 3-4 slots open, with the rest being GMAP and KMI). Furthermore, Versailles had its ACF damage perms set to build mode, making ACF combat impossible on the server. Wojtek prepared a large response force of approximately 10 members and opted to wait for slots to open to allow for a counterattack, but GMAP and KMI completely withdrew from both servers and cited the lack of a response from Wojtek in spite of the player slots being filled on Valen. GMAP declared the operation, named "Eclipse," a success, though the tactic of packing servers became a point of controversy as it denied the Wojtek Pact a fair opportunity to fight back.

Following KMI's declaration of war against the Wojtek Pact, the Imperium, a member of KMI, withdrew from the alliance due to conflict of interest, seeking to retain cordial diplomatic relations with KATO.

=== 3rd Battle of Valen (Inconclusive) ===
On August 17, Wojtek Pact and [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] forces began fighting at around 5:30 PM EST. The battle lasted 2 hours with both sides gaining and losing momentum throughout various periods of the battle. Both sides suffered heavy losses, but KMI withdrew from the battle after 2 hours had passed, with Crisis conceding defeat (which was contested by the rest of KMI leadership). A major controversy was the use of automated anti-air turrets by KMI during the battle, which were the cause of many [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] aircraft losses. Due to the dangerous precedent of automated weaponry and the historical taboo associated with it, both sides agreed to ban it from further use in the conflict.

== Late Stage (WIP) ==
Improved relations with [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] following the 3rd Battle of Valen and an agreement to hold off on conducting serious battles led to the conflict slowing down significantly. With both [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] and the Wojtek Pact reducing their activity due to factors such as burnout, the end of summer, and resumption of education, serious fighting effectively ceased after the 3rd Battle of Valen. Though there were multiple skirmishes between the Wojtek Pact and KMI on Versailles, both sides agreed that they were not serious fights. The Wojtek Pact ultimately achieved its goal of pushing GMAP out of Valen sandbox and taking it for themselves, inflicting heavy losses on them in doing so. Hostilities have not officially ended, though major fighting has slowed down significantly.

=== Return of AEF ===
On December 12th, 2025, the Arterian Expeditionary Force (previously named the Assault Expeditionary Force) announced its return to the Gmod meta after five years of inactivity. The Wojtek Pact had been working in secret for months to help AEF return, providing technological assistance, training, and catching them up on the geopolitical situation. On the day of their return, AEF published a video to their channel to announce it.

<youtube>YLeIXsptPf0</youtube>The next day, March announced that the Wojtek Pact was ready to fight again following the commencement of winter break for many of its members. GMAP reciprocated, however they did not perform any military actions afterward.

=== 4th Battle of Valen ===
On December 15th, Sergei and Aldeweir of VSR went onto Koupii, the capital of KMI, and began skirmishing with KMI forces. Upon the arrival of Crisis turning it into a 2v3, NRK called for AEF reinforcements and outnumbered KMI. Wojtek saw significant success during the fight, but due to the late time of the battle and several members being sick, KMI withdrew. The skirmish angered YSR, and set the stage for the coming battle on Valen.

On December 17th, Sergei went on Versailles Sandbox Server and heard Crisis insulting him. Sergei took offense to this, called AEF to reinforce him, and challenged Crisis to a fight on Valen. Crisis accepted the challenge and both sides moved to Valen for the battle. During the fight, YSR took significant losses to AEF combined arms warfare, with IFVs being harassed by a combination of aircraft, infantry, and emplacements. AEF scaled back their use of aircraft to level the playing field, but this was not enough to allow YSR to make a comeback, and they conceded defeat. The battle solidified the Wojtek Pact's control of Valen Sandbox following the failure of the previous battle to determine who occupies the server.<gallery widths="200" heights="200">

== End of the War ==
The 4th Battle of Valen was the last major battle of the war, and minor skirmishes with [[Shadow Company]] leader Computeration made up the sum of the remaining fights. With GMAP remaining inactive despite claiming its readiness to fight, the Wojtek Pact and the revived G10 International Summit rescinded recognition of GMAP as a significant member of the factions community following a ~80% super-majority vote.

=== Truth Impact ===
On December 28th, March of the [[Cerulean Taskforce]] in collaboration with Phil2014 of [[Ludasia]] and other intelligence aides released the Truth Impact, a video revealing GMAP's tolerance of bad actors, internal corruption & infighting due to lack of strong leadership, and ties to the [[Imperial Alliance]].

''The Great Gunny War'', also referred to by ''The Great Wait War'' or ''The Great Waitriotic Snore,'' was a conflict between the revived [[Coalition]] (which then became the Wojtek Pact) and the [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact]] on Valen Sandbox. The conflict came after declining relations between the [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]]-[[Izakia|IZK]] sphere and [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] as well as the debut of ACF crew. '''The Great Gunny War''' is the first ever conflict that involved the use of ACF Crew vehicles.

== Prelude (March–June 2025) ==

Following the conclusion of the [[The Great Weight War|Great Weight War]] at the end of March, both sides had declared victory. Each side cited their own reasons as to why they won. [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] perceived the conflict from a broader lens, counting battles before and outside of Theater of Operations as part of their victories, while the Coalition adopted a narrower lens and focused exclusively on their victories on Theater, having never considered the engagements prior to be one continuous war. The lack of a unified consensus on who won the conflict lead to dissatisfaction within the Coalition after the war's end. Furthermore, [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] and [[The Imperium|IMR]] established an embassy between each other in an effort to deescalate tensions following numerous incidents where [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]]-[[Izakia|IZK]] and [[The Imperium|IMR]] forces exchanged ammo bombs during ACF fights. Later on, [[Izakia|IZK]] was invited to the embassy. Conflict with [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] had begun due to the shared belief that [[The Imperium|IMR]] was maliciously influencing them. [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] later learned that IMR was actually there to counter attempts by the [[Imperial Alliance]] to influence GMAP. This was not known to KATO until the 12th of February, the day the embassy was established. KATO resolved to continue the war due to general distaste for GMAP's behavior.

Internal discussion within the [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]]-[[Izakia|IZK]] sphere between [[Phil 2014|Phil]], Sergei, and Tox about reviving the defunct [[Coalition|SCI Coalition]] that had resisted [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] from 2018 to 2019 was sparse and mostly discussed as a joke. However, after the end of the [[The Great Weight War|Great Weight War]], the [[Coalition]] was officially revived. [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] members and [[Izakia|IZK]] retain their original identities or membership status within respective alliances, with the Coalition acting as a general title for member factions opposing the Garry's Mod Alliance Pact. The Coalition was also sometimes referred to as the Wojtek Pact, but this is used primarily by IZK members who wanted to revive the old alliance. Both titles were used to describe the same alliance, often leading to some confusion. During the later stages of the war, the Coalition name waned and members fully adopted the Wojtek identity.

Following the war, the Coalition declined in major public activity in the meta save for individual appearances. Between the months of March and June, members of the Coalition acted as beta testers for the ACF Crew Update in undisclosed locations. Near Mid-June, the Coalition ramped up its activity slightly, invading the IA capitol server, CKC, and successfully defeating FAI forces in two consecutive battles after they switched the server to ACF-2. The Coalition also made two appearances on Versailles Sandbox and engaged IA and [[Yakugiria|YSR]] forces out of boredom.

== Beginning ==
Following multiple delays, the [[Coalition]] occupied Valen Sandbox on the 28th of June, 2025 and remained for 2 hours.<ref>https://youtu.be/p1hXDFlBj3U?si=NE_T0nlQCb5drExV</ref> At the same time, the Coalition published a declaration of war against the [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact]]. Due to [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]]'s lack of ACF crew vehicles, no ACF combat or fighting occurred in any major capacity in the opening two weeks of the war.

== Battle of Noob (Wojtek Victory)<ref>https://youtu.be/PkouTGXrSRs?si=J1MGFCyKM-AiIlbw</ref> ==
[[File:Noobkd.png|thumb|266x266px|Final recorded K/D on Noob Sandbox before players began withdrawing.]]
On July 8, 2025, [[Kalestania|NRK]] leader Jarck joined Noob, a common faction hub, prompting a heavy [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] response. The situation escalated rapidly, with [[Verslavia]] joining to fight GMAP which prompted reinforcements in turn. While [[Verslavia]] performed the bulk of infantry combat, [[Coalition]] snipers harassed GMAP forces from long range. Independent actors such as Fabinot and [[Yakugiria|YSR]] leader Crisis fought everyone casually. Near the latter stage of the battle, Caesar's Legion joined the server and utilized previously retired ACF power armor suits to provide heavy fire support for Verslavian infantry. GMAP forces took severe losses and gradually retreated from the server, with [[CatGopher98|Catgopher]] leaving last. Verslavia was admitted into the Wojtek Pact following the battle.

'''Wojtek K/D: 2.19 (521/237)'''

'''GMAP K/D: 0.42 (82/195)'''

== Noob Deescalation ==
On July 9, 2025, Wojtek and [[Yakugiria|YSR]] forces (which were neutral in the conflict) engaged on Noob Sandbox in the afternoon. Due to Noob's lack of enforcement of crew vehicles, non-crew vehicles remained functional, giving [[Yakugiria|YSR]] an upper hand in fighting [[Izakia]]n crew vehicles. The battle erupted into a heated argument over the use of non-crew vehicles and personal attacks and YSR's admittance of former Imperial Alliance members such as Ratakis and Duff. Baccio, leader of [[Kathlaxia]], intervened and successfully deescalated the situation. Wojtek Pact and Yakugirian members continued discussions in the Global Military Agreement discord voice channel and agreed to deescalate the conflict between each other. As a result, Wojtek and Yakugiria reached a state of neutrality between each other.

== Battle of Gendrome (Inconclusive) ==
On July 12, 2025, a mixed [[Ludasia]]n-[[Verslavia]]n force invaded Gendrome and interrupted a GMAP training session. The battle lasted an hour with both sides suffering heavy casualties and enduring extreme lag conditions. K/D calculations have proven excessively difficult due to multiple player crashes during the latter end of the fight as the lag intensified.

== Versailles Campaign ==

=== Versailles Skirmish (Minor Engagement) ===
On July 16, 2025, a Wojtek force consisting of IZK, NRK, CTF, and LUD joined Versailles to engage [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]]. [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] was reinforced by [[Shadow Company]], but quickly retreated from the server, citing the time as being too late to commit to a fight.

=== Battle of Versailles (Wojtek Victory)<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUZWPSV9_DI</ref> ===
[[File:VersaillesInfantryCoalition.png|thumb|338x338px|Wojtek forces pushing down a street with the support of an IFV.]]
On July 24, 2025, Wojtek forces noticed a [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]]-[[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] presence on Versailles. Assuming it was a training exercise, a scout was sent to survey the scene, only to find out that it was a genuine [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] incursion. A combined [[Kalestania|NRK]], [[Ludasia|LUD]], and [[Izakia|IZK]] force joined the server and engaged a handful of [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] tanks, which were [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] exports. Following the loss of 3 tanks and advdupe2 losing functionality occasionally during the battle, both forces relegated to standard M9K PVP for most of the battle. Wojtek forces utilized combined arms warfare, with infantry being supported by an IFV from [[International Weapons Corporation|International Weapons Conglomerate]] driven by Ape. This gave them a significant advantage dealing with GMAP forces, and even cleared out one small base with its supporting fire. The battle lasted an estimated 2 hours, with [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]] reinforcements arriving and putting extra pressure on GMAP with infantry and armored forces. GMAP forces gradually withdrew from the server and conceded defeat.

The Wojtek Pact had previously claimed Versailles as shown in a propaganda video,<ref>https://youtu.be/tGh6FIcfG30?si=_9ZtZsDHv3lS1gb9&t=155</ref> but after hearing that the server staff wished for the server to remain neutral, the Wojtek Pact withdrew its claim after an internal discussion.

'''Wojtek K/D: 2.57 (535/208)'''

'''GMAP K/D: 0.71 (327/512)'''

=== 2nd Battle of Versailles (Stalemate) ===
(I was personally not there, there will be a lot of missing details -Phil)

On July 25, 2025, Wojtek Pact forces engaged [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] on Versailles sandbox for the 2nd time. During the battle, the map switched to gm_bigcity_improved where fighting continued. The battle became very chaotic due to the use of 3 different mediums: Glide, ACF, and M9K. This complicated the means to combat each other's vehicles, as Glide could kill ACF but not vice versa, while M9K could kill both. Both sides fought hard, but the resulting K/D calculations caused a divide between who won the battle. Since the K/D difference was 0.002 (which equates to 1 kill), the Wojtek Pact considers the battle to be a stalemate due to the microscopic K/D delta and the fact that GMAP did not rejoin following a server crash, while GMAP considered it to be a victory.

'''Wojtek K/D: 1.015 (347/342)'''

'''GMAP K/D: 1.017 (466/458)'''

=== Versailles Controversy ===
Versailles began experiencing a period of decline after August 15 after [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] declared war on [[Multi Purpose Task Force (M.P.T.F)|MPTF]], the native clan that garrisons the server. Wattson, a [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] member, had defected to [[Multi Purpose Task Force (M.P.T.F)|MPTF]]. Due to the conflict, MPTF server staff banned multiple clans from the server, claiming that DRS had violated the server's mandate that claims were prohibited. After the controversy reached the rest of the community, the bans were eventually lifted. Immediately the next day, dupesteal allegations spread on the server after MPTF members were allegedly seen possessing DRS technology. A server random fueled the controversy by alleging that he had seen them spawning out tech from various [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] factions and reviewing them in private. These allegations ultimately fell flat as it was discovered that the random was a former [[Inner Sphere Alliance|ISA]] member attempting to cause chaos.

Various other grievances with the server have significantly harmed its reputation, citing inconsistent rule enforcement, general incompetence, and delayed response times to reports of rulebreaking. [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] went as far as declaring Versailles a "[[The Turtle Nation|TTN]] category server" in reference to That Sandbox Server. As a result of these controversies and concerns with security, the Wojtek Pact scaled back official operations on the server. After the fog was cleared and the dupesteal allegations were debunked, the Wojtek Pact played on the server casually to fight [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] and spectate other smaller conflicts that occurred.

== Valen Campaign ==

=== 1st Battle of Valen (Wojtek Victory)<ref>https://youtu.be/B0xI6BAbFsM?si=ldQB9b0PRl5fCuHg</ref> ===
Throughout the course of the war, only token [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] forces had attempted to contest the Wojtek Pact's occupation of Valen Sandbox. The primary GMAP force engaging the Wojtek Pact on Valen was [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]], led by Larry. Nearly all incursions had been carried out by DRS, but faced overwhelming Wojtek defenses each time. The Wojtek has stated that these battles will not be counted against GMAP because they were short-lived and involve DRS being very outnumbered.

This changed following a direct invasion of Valen by [[Cat-Gopher Industries|CGI]]-[[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] forces on July 30. The Wojtek Pact had such a huge response that the server neared its maximum player limit, forcing some to leave or be kicked by an admin to make room for GMAP. The battle originally was meant to be between [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]] and GMAP explicitly, but frustration against GMAP's inaction by the Wojtek Pact had reached a fever pitch, and the rest of the alliance participated in the battle anyway. ULSCI forces made up the bulk of the fight early on, but [[Izakia|IZK]], [[Verslavia|VSR]], [[Cerulean Taskforce|CTF]], [[Kathlaxia|KAX]], and [[International Weapons Corporation|IW]] began to rotate into the fight. GMAP forces maintained cohesion despite the Wojtek Pact's advances, but ultimately fell to flanking attacks and combined arms warfare supplemented by [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]] and [[Cerulean Taskforce|CTF]] air support. The map also switched from gm_warmap to gm_bigcity, where GMAP armored forces took greater losses as they became scattered and vastly outnumbered. The battle lasted a total of two hours, with GMAP conceding the fight and stating that they would continue the fight for Valen sandbox the next day.

The Battle of Valen is one of if not the largest tank battles in Garry's Mod Faction history. Almost all of Valen sandbox's 24 player slots were filled, and tanks engaged each other in platoon numbers. The server experienced high lag conditions, but both sides endured and fought through the lag.<gallery widths="240">

=== KXMI Skirmishes and ULSCI's "Great Crusade" ===
[[File:ULSCITanks.png|thumb|2 ULSCI tanks during the Great Crusade.]]
On August 4, A minor [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] force engaged Larry, believing him to be [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]]. However, Larry was in fact fighting for [[Koupii-Modrik International|KXMI]] after [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] refused to aid him. KXMI forces engaged KATO with heavy losses on both sides. Since KXMI and the Wojtek Pact were not at war with each other, a breakdown in the diplomatic situation ensued. This was compounded further when [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]], a Wojtek member, launched their Great Crusade, declaring war on every faction out of boredom and engaging both sides. Before this however, [[Bozostan]], a former [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization]] faction, was fighting its own war on [[NPC Zombies Vs. Players]] out of boredom. Castle, the leader of Bozostan, saw this as an opportunity to create more positive relations between the two. However, on 7/27/2025, [[Ludasia]]'s leader Phil would negotiate with KXMI, asking for KXMI to stop sending PvPers to ACF fights as-long as Wojtek didn't help Bozostan on NPC Zombies Vs. Players, This upset the members of Bozostan who would view this as a sign of weakness from the Wojtek Pact and KATO, thus leading to the expulsion of most KATO figures from the Bozostan discord and the severing of communication between the two on a large scale. Due to this recent diplomatic incident, Bozostan would support ULSCI in its great crusade, providing man power and infantry support. Upon ULSCI's launch of the crusade it was promptly ejected from the Wojtek Pact. Despite lines being drawn, confusion amongst the Wojtek Pact regarding who was and wasn't an enemy made the 3-way battle untenable, and thus withdrew from the battle. KXMI continued fighting ULSCI forces until they withdrew as well, then declared victory. This would be ULSCI's only battle of their crusade as time was drawing short and summer was ending.

KXMI heavily criticized GMAP for refusing to aid Larry in taking back their lost territory. Larry then announced his withdrawal from GMAP, citing their lack of aid on multiple instances.

=== 2nd KXMI Skirmish ===
The Wojtek Pact took offense towards [[Koupii-Modrik International|KXMI]]'s occupation on the server and their celebration following yesterday's battle. On August 5, Wojtek forces secured control of Valen Sandbox in a rapid invasion. Due to overwhelming Wojtek numbers, KXMI was pushed out of their defensive positions at the sewage plant on gm_bigcity and withdrew from the server. Relations between KXMI and the Wojtek Pact soured as a result of the battle, with KXMI insisting that the Wojtek Pact was taking it too seriously.

=== 2nd Battle of Valen ===

==== Prelude ====
During Wojtek Pact discussions regarding a course of action following recent fights with [[Koupii-Modrik International|KXMI]], the alliance received news about [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] bringing the Imperial Alliance, an alliance known for having cheaters such as Bluemetaknight and Breacher, into its fold. This sparked community-wide outrage, and the Wojtek Pact and KXMI alliances agreed to a ceasefire to fight against a common enemy. [[Yakugiria]] and the [[The Imperium|Imperium]] both warned GMAP that if they did not expel IA from its alliance, then they would declare war. Since [[CatGopher98]], GMAP's leader, remained silent on the matter, the Wojtek Pact prepared to fight a protracted war against a GMAP-IA combined force.

==== Battle ====
On August 6, a small [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] force consisting of [[Cat-Gopher Industries|CGI]], [[Solar Imperium|SOL]], and [[Shadow Company|SC]] arrived on Valen. A massive [[Coalition]] response began, with [[International Weapons Corporation|IW]], [[Cerulean Taskforce|CTF]], [[Ludasia|LUD]], [[Independent Karelian Republic|IKR]], [[Kalestania|NRK]], [[Verslavia|VSR]], and [[Izakia|IZK]] mobilizing in defense of the server. Upon changing the map to gm_warmap, Catgopher did not reconnect. As the Wojtek Pact set up positions on a hill, Imperial Alliance forces were spotted deploying tanks, some having GMAP roundels. Wojtek Pact artillery suppressed any attempt by GMAP to launch an attack, with tanks positioning themselves to hit targets from multiple angles at once. GMAP forces attempted multiple breakouts from one of the fortresses signature to gm_warmap, but were stopped each time by superior Wojtek Pact firepower. The Imperial Alliance attempted to aid GMAP, but were defeated by direct fire artillery, aircraft, and close quarters tank fights. GMAP was outnumbered and outgunned, and silently withdrew from the server. Mr. Radd complained about an NRK tank using a primitive prop as its turret armor, which breaks the implicit agreement by both belligerents not to use primitives for the main armor of a tank, and KATO assured him that it would be fixed.<gallery widths="300">

=== Operation Eclipse ===
[[File:OperationEclipse.png|thumb|421x421px|GMAP and KMI posing for a photoshoot on Valen Sandbox.]]
Due to inactivity from [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]], the Wojtek Pact had declared victory on August 13. The next day, GMAP and KMI coordinated a two-pronged attack on the Wojtek Pact, occupying Versailles and completely filling Valen sandbox, making a counterattack on Valen unfeasible due to the fact that Wojtek would have been severely outnumbered (with an estimated 3-4 slots open, with the rest being GMAP and KMI). Furthermore, Versailles had its ACF damage perms set to build mode, making ACF combat impossible on the server. Wojtek prepared a large response force of approximately 10 members and opted to wait for slots to open to allow for a counterattack, but GMAP and KMI completely withdrew from both servers and cited the lack of a response from Wojtek in spite of the player slots being filled on Valen. GMAP declared the operation, named "Eclipse," a success, though the tactic of packing servers became a point of controversy as it denied the Wojtek Pact a fair opportunity to fight back.

Following KMI's declaration of war against the Wojtek Pact, the Imperium, a member of KMI, withdrew from the alliance due to conflict of interest, seeking to retain cordial diplomatic relations with KATO.

=== 3rd Battle of Valen (Inconclusive) ===
On August 17, Wojtek Pact and [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] forces began fighting at around 5:30 PM EST. The battle lasted 2 hours with both sides gaining and losing momentum throughout various periods of the battle. Both sides suffered heavy losses, but KMI withdrew from the battle after 2 hours had passed, with Crisis conceding defeat (which was contested by the rest of KMI leadership). A major controversy was the use of automated anti-air turrets by KMI during the battle, which were the cause of many [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] aircraft losses. Due to the dangerous precedent of automated weaponry and the historical taboo associated with it, both sides agreed to ban it from further use in the conflict.

== Late Stage (WIP) ==
Improved relations with [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] following the 3rd Battle of Valen and an agreement to hold off on conducting serious battles led to the conflict slowing down significantly. With both [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] and the Wojtek Pact reducing their activity due to factors such as burnout, the end of summer, and resumption of education, serious fighting effectively ceased after the 3rd Battle of Valen. Though there were multiple skirmishes between the Wojtek Pact and KMI on Versailles, both sides agreed that they were not serious fights. The Wojtek Pact ultimately achieved its goal of pushing GMAP out of Valen sandbox and taking it for themselves, inflicting heavy losses on them in doing so. Hostilities have not officially ended, though major fighting has slowed down significantly.

=== Return of AEF ===
On December 12th, 2025, the Arterian Expeditionary Force (previously named the Assault Expeditionary Force) announced its return to the Gmod meta after five years of inactivity. The Wojtek Pact had been working in secret for months to help AEF return, providing technological assistance, training, and catching them up on the geopolitical situation. On the day of their return, AEF published a video to their channel to announce it.

[[File:GMAPReady.png|thumb|559x559px|Catgopher's response declaring GMAP's readiness to fight again, followed by several declarations of victory on several servers.]]
<youtube>YLeIXsptPf0</youtube>The next day, Marchkarcz announced that the Wojtek Pact was ready to fight again following the commencement of winter break for many of its members. GMAP reciprocated, however they did not perform any military actions afterward.

=== 4th Battle of Valen ===
On December 15th, Sergei and Aldeweir of VSR went onto Koupii, the capital of KMI, and began skirmishing with KMI forces. Upon the arrival of Crisis turning it into a 2v3, NRK called for AEF reinforcements and outnumbered KMI. Wojtek saw significant success during the fight, but due to the late time of the battle and several members being sick, KMI withdrew. The skirmish angered YSR, and set the stage for the coming battle on Valen.

On December 17th, Sergei went on Versailles Sandbox Server and heard Crisis insulting him. Sergei took offense to this, called AEF to reinforce him, and challenged Crisis to a fight on Valen. Crisis accepted the challenge and both sides moved to Valen for the battle. During the fight, YSR took significant losses to AEF combined arms warfare, with IFVs being harassed by a combination of aircraft, infantry, and emplacements. AEF scaled back their use of aircraft to level the playing field, but this was not enough to allow YSR to make a comeback, and they conceded defeat. The battle solidified the Wojtek Pact's control of Valen Sandbox following the failure of the previous battle to determine who occupies the server.<gallery widths="200" heights="200">

== End of the War ==
The 4th Battle of Valen was the last major battle of the war, and minor skirmishes with [[Shadow Company]] leader Computeration made up the sum of the remaining fights. With GMAP remaining inactive despite claiming its readiness to fight, the Wojtek Pact and the revived G10 International Summit rescinded recognition of GMAP as a significant member of the factions community following a ~80% super-majority vote.

=== Truth Impact ===
On December 28th, Marchkarcz of the [[Cerulean Taskforce]] in collaboration with Phil2014 of [[Ludasia]] and other intelligence aides released the Truth Impact, a video revealing GMAP's tolerance of bad actors, internal corruption & infighting due to lack of strong leadership, and ties to the [[Imperial Alliance]].

''The Great Gunny War'', also referred to by ''The Great Wait War'' or ''The Great Waitriotic Snore,'' is a conflict between the revived [[Coalition]] (which then became the Wojtek Pact) and the [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact]] on Valen Sandbox. The conflict came after declining relations between the [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]]-[[Izakia|IZK]] sphere and [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] as well as the debut of ACF crew. '''The Great Gunny War''' is the first ever conflict that involved the use of ACF Crew vehicles.

== Prelude (March–June 2025) ==

Following the conclusion of the [[The Great Weight War|Great Weight War]] at the end of March, both sides had declared victory. Each side cited their own reasons as to why they won. [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] perceived the conflict from a broader lens, counting battles before and outside of Theater of Operations as part of their victories, while the Coalition adopted a narrower lens and focused exclusively on their victories on Theater, having never considered the engagements prior to be one continuous war. The lack of a unified consensus on who won the conflict lead to dissatisfaction within the Coalition after the war's end. Furthermore, [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] and [[The Imperium|IMR]] established an embassy between each other in an effort to deescalate tensions following numerous incidents where [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]]-[[Izakia|IZK]] and [[The Imperium|IMR]] forces exchanged ammo bombs during ACF fights. Later on, [[Izakia|IZK]] was invited to the embassy. Conflict with [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] had begun due to the shared belief that [[The Imperium|IMR]] was maliciously influencing them. [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] later learned that IMR was actually there to counter attempts by the [[Imperial Alliance]] to influence GMAP. This was not known to KATO until the 12th of February, the day the embassy was established. KATO resolved to continue the war due to general distaste for GMAP's behavior.

Internal discussion within the [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]]-[[Izakia|IZK]] sphere between [[Phil 2014|Phil]], Sergei, and Tox about reviving the defunct [[Coalition|SCI Coalition]] that had resisted [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] from 2018 to 2019 was sparse and mostly discussed as a joke. However, after the end of the [[The Great Weight War|Great Weight War]], the [[Coalition]] was officially revived. [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] members and [[Izakia|IZK]] retain their original identities or membership status within respective alliances, with the Coalition acting as a general title for member factions opposing the Garry's Mod Alliance Pact. The Coalition was also sometimes referred to as the Wojtek Pact, but this is used primarily by IZK members who wanted to revive the old alliance. Both titles were used to describe the same alliance, often leading to some confusion. During the later stages of the war, the Coalition name waned and members fully adopted the Wojtek identity.

Following the war, the Coalition declined in major public activity in the meta save for individual appearances. Between the months of March and June, members of the Coalition acted as beta testers for the ACF Crew Update in undisclosed locations. Near Mid-June, the Coalition ramped up its activity slightly, invading the IA capitol server, CKC, and successfully defeating FAI forces in two consecutive battles after they switched the server to ACF-2. The Coalition also made two appearances on Versailles Sandbox and engaged IA and [[Yakugiria|YSR]] forces out of boredom.

== Beginning ==
Following multiple delays, the [[Coalition]] occupied Valen Sandbox on the 28th of June, 2025 and remained for 2 hours.<ref>https://youtu.be/p1hXDFlBj3U?si=NE_T0nlQCb5drExV</ref> At the same time, the Coalition published a declaration of war against the [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact]]. Due to [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]]'s lack of ACF crew vehicles, no ACF combat or fighting occurred in any major capacity in the opening two weeks of the war.

== Battle of Noob (Wojtek Victory)<ref>https://youtu.be/PkouTGXrSRs?si=J1MGFCyKM-AiIlbw</ref> ==
[[File:Noobkd.png|thumb|266x266px|Final recorded K/D on Noob Sandbox before players began withdrawing.]]
On July 8, 2025, [[Kalestania|NRK]] leader Jarck joined Noob, a common faction hub, prompting a heavy [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] response. The situation escalated rapidly, with [[Verslavia]] joining to fight GMAP which prompted reinforcements in turn. While [[Verslavia]] performed the bulk of infantry combat, [[Coalition]] snipers harassed GMAP forces from long range. Independent actors such as Fabinot and [[Yakugiria|YSR]] leader Crisis fought everyone casually. Near the latter stage of the battle, Caesar's Legion joined the server and utilized previously retired ACF power armor suits to provide heavy fire support for Verslavian infantry. GMAP forces took severe losses and gradually retreated from the server, with [[CatGopher98|Catgopher]] leaving last. Verslavia was admitted into the Wojtek Pact following the battle.

'''Wojtek K/D: 2.19 (521/237)'''

'''GMAP K/D: 0.42 (82/195)'''

== Noob Deescalation ==
On July 9, 2025, Wojtek and [[Yakugiria|YSR]] forces (which were neutral in the conflict) engaged on Noob Sandbox in the afternoon. Due to Noob's lack of enforcement of crew vehicles, non-crew vehicles remained functional, giving [[Yakugiria|YSR]] an upper hand in fighting [[Izakia]]n crew vehicles. The battle erupted into a heated argument over the use of non-crew vehicles and personal attacks and YSR's admittance of former Imperial Alliance members such as Ratakis and Duff. Baccio, leader of [[Kathlaxia]], intervened and successfully deescalated the situation. Wojtek Pact and Yakugirian members continued discussions in the Global Military Agreement discord voice channel and agreed to deescalate the conflict between each other. As a result, Wojtek and Yakugiria reached a state of neutrality between each other.

== Battle of Gendrome (Inconclusive) ==
On July 12, 2025, a mixed [[Ludasia]]n-[[Verslavia]]n force invaded Gendrome and interrupted a GMAP training session. The battle lasted an hour with both sides suffering heavy casualties and enduring extreme lag conditions. K/D calculations have proven excessively difficult due to multiple player crashes during the latter end of the fight as the lag intensified.

== Versailles Campaign ==

=== Versailles Skirmish (Minor Engagement) ===
On July 16, 2025, a Wojtek force consisting of IZK, NRK, CTF, and LUD joined Versailles to engage [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]]. [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] was reinforced by [[Shadow Company]], but quickly retreated from the server, citing the time as being too late to commit to a fight.

=== Battle of Versailles (Wojtek Victory)<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUZWPSV9_DI</ref> ===
[[File:VersaillesInfantryCoalition.png|thumb|338x338px|Wojtek forces pushing down a street with the support of an IFV.]]
On July 24, 2025, Wojtek forces noticed a [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]]-[[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] presence on Versailles. Assuming it was a training exercise, a scout was sent to survey the scene, only to find out that it was a genuine [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] incursion. A combined [[Kalestania|NRK]], [[Ludasia|LUD]], and [[Izakia|IZK]] force joined the server and engaged a handful of [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] tanks, which were [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] exports. Following the loss of 3 tanks and advdupe2 losing functionality occasionally during the battle, both forces relegated to standard M9K PVP for most of the battle. Wojtek forces utilized combined arms warfare, with infantry being supported by an IFV from [[International Weapons Corporation|International Weapons Conglomerate]] driven by Ape. This gave them a significant advantage dealing with GMAP forces, and even cleared out one small base with its supporting fire. The battle lasted an estimated 2 hours, with [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]] reinforcements arriving and putting extra pressure on GMAP with infantry and armored forces. GMAP forces gradually withdrew from the server and conceded defeat.

The Wojtek Pact had previously claimed Versailles as shown in a propaganda video,<ref>https://youtu.be/tGh6FIcfG30?si=_9ZtZsDHv3lS1gb9&t=155</ref> but after hearing that the server staff wished for the server to remain neutral, the Wojtek Pact withdrew its claim after an internal discussion.

'''Wojtek K/D: 2.57 (535/208)'''

'''GMAP K/D: 0.71 (327/512)'''

=== 2nd Battle of Versailles (Stalemate) ===
(I was personally not there, there will be a lot of missing details -Phil)

On July 25, 2025, Wojtek Pact forces engaged [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] on Versailles sandbox for the 2nd time. During the battle, the map switched to gm_bigcity_improved where fighting continued. The battle became very chaotic due to the use of 3 different mediums: Glide, ACF, and M9K. This complicated the means to combat each other's vehicles, as Glide could kill ACF but not vice versa, while M9K could kill both. Both sides fought hard, but the resulting K/D calculations caused a divide between who won the battle. Since the K/D difference was 0.002 (which equates to 1 kill), the Wojtek Pact considers the battle to be a stalemate due to the microscopic K/D delta and the fact that GMAP did not rejoin following a server crash, while GMAP considered it to be a victory.

'''Wojtek K/D: 1.015 (347/342)'''

'''GMAP K/D: 1.017 (466/458)'''

=== Versailles Controversy ===
Versailles began experiencing a period of decline after August 15 after [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] declared war on [[Multi Purpose Task Force (M.P.T.F)|MPTF]], the native clan that garrisons the server. Wattson, a [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] member, had defected to [[Multi Purpose Task Force (M.P.T.F)|MPTF]]. Due to the conflict, MPTF server staff banned multiple clans from the server, claiming that DRS had violated the server's mandate that claims were prohibited. After the controversy reached the rest of the community, the bans were eventually lifted. Immediately the next day, dupesteal allegations spread on the server after MPTF members were allegedly seen possessing DRS technology. A server random fueled the controversy by alleging that he had seen them spawning out tech from various [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] factions and reviewing them in private. These allegations ultimately fell flat as it was discovered that the random was a former [[Inner Sphere Alliance|ISA]] member attempting to cause chaos.

Various other grievances with the server have significantly harmed its reputation, citing inconsistent rule enforcement, general incompetence, and delayed response times to reports of rulebreaking. [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] went as far as declaring Versailles a "[[The Turtle Nation|TTN]] category server" in reference to That Sandbox Server. As a result of these controversies and concerns with security, the Wojtek Pact scaled back official operations on the server. After the fog was cleared and the dupesteal allegations were debunked, the Wojtek Pact played on the server casually to fight [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] and spectate other smaller conflicts that occurred.

== Valen Campaign ==

=== 1st Battle of Valen (Wojtek Victory)<ref>https://youtu.be/B0xI6BAbFsM?si=ldQB9b0PRl5fCuHg</ref> ===
Throughout the course of the war, only token [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] forces had attempted to contest the Wojtek Pact's occupation of Valen Sandbox. The primary GMAP force engaging the Wojtek Pact on Valen was [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]], led by Larry. Nearly all incursions had been carried out by DRS, but faced overwhelming Wojtek defenses each time. The Wojtek has stated that these battles will not be counted against GMAP because they were short-lived and involve DRS being very outnumbered.

This changed following a direct invasion of Valen by [[Cat-Gopher Industries|CGI]]-[[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] forces on July 30. The Wojtek Pact had such a huge response that the server neared its maximum player limit, forcing some to leave or be kicked by an admin to make room for GMAP. The battle originally was meant to be between [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]] and GMAP explicitly, but frustration against GMAP's inaction by the Wojtek Pact had reached a fever pitch, and the rest of the alliance participated in the battle anyway. ULSCI forces made up the bulk of the fight early on, but [[Izakia|IZK]], [[Verslavia|VSR]], [[Cerulean Taskforce|CTF]], [[Kathlaxia|KAX]], and [[International Weapons Corporation|IW]] began to rotate into the fight. GMAP forces maintained cohesion despite the Wojtek Pact's advances, but ultimately fell to flanking attacks and combined arms warfare supplemented by [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]] and [[Cerulean Taskforce|CTF]] air support. The map also switched from gm_warmap to gm_bigcity, where GMAP armored forces took greater losses as they became scattered and vastly outnumbered. The battle lasted a total of two hours, with GMAP conceding the fight and stating that they would continue the fight for Valen sandbox the next day.

The Battle of Valen is one of if not the largest tank battles in Garry's Mod Faction history. Almost all of Valen sandbox's 24 player slots were filled, and tanks engaged each other in platoon numbers. The server experienced high lag conditions, but both sides endured and fought through the lag.<gallery widths="240">

=== KXMI Skirmishes and ULSCI's "Great Crusade" ===
[[File:ULSCITanks.png|thumb|2 ULSCI tanks during the Great Crusade.]]
On August 4, A minor [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] force engaged Larry, believing him to be [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]]. However, Larry was in fact fighting for [[Koupii-Modrik International|KXMI]] after [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] refused to aid him. KXMI forces engaged KATO with heavy losses on both sides. Since KXMI and the Wojtek Pact were not at war with each other, a breakdown in the diplomatic situation ensued. This was compounded further when [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]], a Wojtek member, launched their Great Crusade, declaring war on every faction out of boredom and engaging both sides. Before this however, [[Bozostan]], a former [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization]] faction, was fighting its own war on [[NPC Zombies Vs. Players]] out of boredom. Castle, the leader of Bozostan, saw this as an opportunity to create more positive relations between the two. However, on 7/27/2025, [[Ludasia]]'s leader Phil would negotiate with KXMI, asking for KXMI to stop sending PvPers to ACF fights as-long as Wojtek didn't help Bozostan on NPC Zombies Vs. Players, This upset the members of Bozostan who would view this as a sign of weakness from the Wojtek Pact and KATO, thus leading to the expulsion of most KATO figures from the Bozostan discord and the severing of communication between the two on a large scale. Due to this recent diplomatic incident, Bozostan would support ULSCI in its great crusade, providing man power and infantry support. Upon ULSCI's launch of the crusade it was promptly ejected from the Wojtek Pact. Despite lines being drawn, confusion amongst the Wojtek Pact regarding who was and wasn't an enemy made the 3-way battle untenable, and thus withdrew from the battle. KXMI continued fighting ULSCI forces until they withdrew as well, then declared victory. This would be ULSCI's only battle of their crusade as time was drawing short and summer was ending.

KXMI heavily criticized GMAP for refusing to aid Larry in taking back their lost territory. Larry then announced his withdrawal from GMAP, citing their lack of aid on multiple instances.

=== 2nd KXMI Skirmish ===
The Wojtek Pact took offense towards [[Koupii-Modrik International|KXMI]]'s occupation on the server and their celebration following yesterday's battle. On August 5, Wojtek forces secured control of Valen Sandbox in a rapid invasion. Due to overwhelming Wojtek numbers, KXMI was pushed out of their defensive positions at the sewage plant on gm_bigcity and withdrew from the server. Relations between KXMI and the Wojtek Pact soured as a result of the battle, with KXMI insisting that the Wojtek Pact was taking it too seriously.

=== 2nd Battle of Valen ===

==== Prelude ====
During Wojtek Pact discussions regarding a course of action following recent fights with [[Koupii-Modrik International|KXMI]], the alliance received news about [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] bringing the Imperial Alliance, an alliance known for having cheaters such as Bluemetaknight and Breacher, into its fold. This sparked community-wide outrage, and the Wojtek Pact and KXMI alliances agreed to a ceasefire to fight against a common enemy. [[Yakugiria]] and the [[The Imperium|Imperium]] both warned GMAP that if they did not expel IA from its alliance, then they would declare war. Since [[CatGopher98]], GMAP's leader, remained silent on the matter, the Wojtek Pact prepared to fight a protracted war against a GMAP-IA combined force.

==== Battle ====
On August 6, a small [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] force consisting of [[Cat-Gopher Industries|CGI]], [[Solar Imperium|SOL]], and [[Shadow Company|SC]] arrived on Valen. A massive [[Coalition]] response began, with [[International Weapons Corporation|IW]], [[Cerulean Taskforce|CTF]], [[Ludasia|LUD]], [[Independent Karelian Republic|IKR]], [[Kalestania|NRK]], [[Verslavia|VSR]], and [[Izakia|IZK]] mobilizing in defense of the server. Upon changing the map to gm_warmap, Catgopher did not reconnect. As the Wojtek Pact set up positions on a hill, Imperial Alliance forces were spotted deploying tanks, some having GMAP roundels. Wojtek Pact artillery suppressed any attempt by GMAP to launch an attack, with tanks positioning themselves to hit targets from multiple angles at once. GMAP forces attempted multiple breakouts from one of the fortresses signature to gm_warmap, but were stopped each time by superior Wojtek Pact firepower. The Imperial Alliance attempted to aid GMAP, but were defeated by direct fire artillery, aircraft, and close quarters tank fights. GMAP was outnumbered and outgunned, and silently withdrew from the server. Mr. Radd complained about an NRK tank using a primitive prop as its turret armor, which breaks the implicit agreement by both belligerents not to use primitives for the main armor of a tank, and KATO assured him that it would be fixed.<gallery widths="300">

=== Operation Eclipse ===
[[File:OperationEclipse.png|thumb|421x421px|GMAP and KMI posing for a photoshoot on Valen Sandbox.]]
Due to inactivity from [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]], the Wojtek Pact had declared victory on August 13. The next day, GMAP and KMI coordinated a two-pronged attack on the Wojtek Pact, occupying Versailles and completely filling Valen sandbox, making a counterattack on Valen unfeasible due to the fact that Wojtek would have been severely outnumbered (with an estimated 3-4 slots open, with the rest being GMAP and KMI). Furthermore, Versailles had its ACF damage perms set to build mode, making ACF combat impossible on the server. Wojtek prepared a large response force of approximately 10 members and opted to wait for slots to open to allow for a counterattack, but GMAP and KMI completely withdrew from both servers and cited the lack of a response from Wojtek in spite of the player slots being filled on Valen. GMAP declared the operation, named "Eclipse," a success, though the tactic of packing servers became a point of controversy as it denied the Wojtek Pact a fair opportunity to fight back.

Following KMI's declaration of war against the Wojtek Pact, the Imperium, a member of KMI, withdrew from the alliance due to conflict of interest, seeking to retain cordial diplomatic relations with KATO.

=== 3rd Battle of Valen (Inconclusive) ===
On August 17, Wojtek Pact and [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] forces began fighting at around 5:30 PM EST. The battle lasted 2 hours with both sides gaining and losing momentum throughout various periods of the battle. Both sides suffered heavy losses, but KMI withdrew from the battle after 2 hours had passed, with Crisis conceding defeat (which was contested by the rest of KMI leadership). A major controversy was the use of automated anti-air turrets by KMI during the battle, which were the cause of many [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] aircraft losses. Due to the dangerous precedent of automated weaponry and the historical taboo associated with it, both sides agreed to ban it from further use in the conflict.

== Late Stage (WIP) ==
Improved relations with [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] following the 3rd Battle of Valen and an agreement to hold off on conducting serious battles led to the conflict slowing down significantly. With both [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] and the Wojtek Pact reducing their activity due to factors such as burnout, the end of summer, and resumption of education, serious fighting effectively ceased after the 3rd Battle of Valen. Though there were multiple skirmishes between the Wojtek Pact and KMI on Versailles, both sides agreed that they were not serious fights. The Wojtek Pact ultimately achieved its goal of pushing GMAP out of Valen sandbox and taking it for themselves, inflicting heavy losses on them in doing so. Hostilities have not officially ended, though major fighting has slowed down significantly.

=== Return of AEF ===
On December 12th, 2025, the Arterian Expeditionary Force (previously named the Assault Expeditionary Force) announced its return to the Gmod meta after five years of inactivity. The Wojtek Pact had been working in secret for months to help AEF return, providing technological assistance, training, and catching them up on the geopolitical situation. On the day of their return, AEF published a video to their channel to announce it.

[[File:GMAPReady.png|thumb|559x559px|Catgopher's response declaring GMAP's readiness to fight again, followed by several declarations of victory on several servers.]]
<youtube>YLeIXsptPf0</youtube>The next day, Marchkarcz announced that the Wojtek Pact was ready to fight again following the commencement of winter break for many of its members. GMAP reciprocated, however they did not perform any military actions afterward.

=== 4th Battle of Valen ===
On December 15th, Sergei and Aldeweir of VSR went onto Koupii, the capital of KMI, and began skirmishing with KMI forces. Upon the arrival of Crisis turning it into a 2v3, NRK called for AEF reinforcements and outnumbered KMI. Wojtek saw significant success during the fight, but due to the late time of the battle and several members being sick, KMI withdrew. The skirmish angered YSR, and set the stage for the coming battle on Valen.

On December 17th, Sergei went on Versailles Sandbox Server and heard Crisis insulting him. Sergei took offense to this, called AEF to reinforce him, and challenged Crisis to a fight on Valen. Crisis accepted the challenge and both sides moved to Valen for the battle. During the fight, YSR took significant losses to AEF combined arms warfare, with IFVs being harassed by a combination of aircraft, infantry, and emplacements. AEF scaled back their use of aircraft to level the playing field, but this was not enough to allow YSR to make a comeback, and they conceded defeat. The battle solidified the Wojtek Pact's control of Valen Sandbox following the failure of the previous battle to determine who occupies the server.<gallery widths="200" heights="200">

== End of the War ==
The 4th Battle of Valen was the last major battle of the war, and minor skirmishes with [[Shadow Company]] leader Computeration made up the sum of the remaining fights. With GMAP remaining inactive despite claiming its readiness to fight, the Wojtek Pact and the revived G10 International Summit rescinded recognition of GMAP as a significant member of the factions community following a ~80% super-majority vote.

=== Truth Impact ===
On December 28th, Marchkarcz of the [[Cerulean Taskforce]] in collaboration with Phil2014 of [[Ludasia]] and other intelligence aides released the Truth Impact, a video revealing GMAP's tolerance of bad actors, internal corruption & infighting due to lack of strong leadership, and ties to the [[Imperial Alliance]].

''The Great Gunny War'', also referred to by ''The Great Wait War'' or ''The Great Waitriotic Snore,'' is a conflict between the revived [[Coalition]] (which then became the Wojtek Pact) and the [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact]] on Valen Sandbox. The conflict came after declining relations between the [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]]-[[Izakia|IZK]] sphere and [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] as well as the debut of ACF crew. '''The Great Gunny War''' is the first ever conflict that involved the use of ACF Crew vehicles.

== Prelude (March–June 2025) ==

Following the conclusion of the [[The Great Weight War|Great Weight War]] at the end of March, both sides had declared victory. Each side cited their own reasons as to why they won. [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] perceived the conflict from a broader lens, counting battles before and outside of Theater of Operations as part of their victories, while the Coalition adopted a narrower lens and focused exclusively on their victories on Theater, having never considered the engagements prior to be one continuous war. The lack of a unified consensus on who won the conflict lead to dissatisfaction within the Coalition after the war's end. Furthermore, [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] and [[The Imperium|IMR]] established an embassy between each other in an effort to deescalate tensions following numerous incidents where [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]]-[[Izakia|IZK]] and [[The Imperium|IMR]] forces exchanged ammo bombs during ACF fights. Later on, [[Izakia|IZK]] was invited to the embassy. Conflict with [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] had begun due to the shared belief that [[The Imperium|IMR]] was maliciously influencing them. [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] later learned that IMR was actually there to counter attempts by the [[Imperial Alliance]] to influence GMAP. This was not known to KATO until the 12th of February, the day the embassy was established. KATO resolved to continue the war due to general distaste for GMAP's behavior.

Internal discussion within the [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]]-[[Izakia|IZK]] sphere between [[Phil 2014|Phil]], Sergei, and Tox about reviving the defunct [[Coalition|SCI Coalition]] that had resisted [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] from 2018 to 2019 was sparse and mostly discussed as a joke. However, after the end of the [[The Great Weight War|Great Weight War]], the [[Coalition]] was officially revived. [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] members and [[Izakia|IZK]] retain their original identities or membership status within respective alliances, with the Coalition acting as a general title for member factions opposing the Garry's Mod Alliance Pact. The Coalition was also sometimes referred to as the Wojtek Pact, but this is used primarily by IZK members who wanted to revive the old alliance. Both titles were used to describe the same alliance, often leading to some confusion. During the later stages of the war, the Coalition name waned and members fully adopted the Wojtek identity.

Following the war, the Coalition declined in major public activity in the meta save for individual appearances. Between the months of March and June, members of the Coalition acted as beta testers for the ACF Crew Update in undisclosed locations. Near Mid-June, the Coalition ramped up its activity slightly, invading the IA capitol server, CKC, and successfully defeating FAI forces in two consecutive battles after they switched the server to ACF-2. The Coalition also made two appearances on Versailles Sandbox and engaged IA and [[Yakugiria|YSR]] forces out of boredom.

== Beginning ==
Following multiple delays, the [[Coalition]] occupied Valen Sandbox on the 28th of June, 2025 and remained for 2 hours.<ref>https://youtu.be/p1hXDFlBj3U?si=NE_T0nlQCb5drExV</ref> At the same time, the Coalition published a declaration of war against the [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact]]. Due to [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]]'s lack of ACF crew vehicles, no ACF combat or fighting occurred in any major capacity in the opening two weeks of the war.

== Battle of Noob (Wojtek Victory)<ref>https://youtu.be/PkouTGXrSRs?si=J1MGFCyKM-AiIlbw</ref> ==
[[File:Noobkd.png|thumb|266x266px|Final recorded K/D on Noob Sandbox before players began withdrawing.]]
On July 8, 2025, [[Kalestania|NRK]] leader Jarck joined Noob, a common faction hub, prompting a heavy [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] response. The situation escalated rapidly, with [[Verslavia]] joining to fight GMAP which prompted reinforcements in turn. While [[Verslavia]] performed the bulk of infantry combat, [[Coalition]] snipers harassed GMAP forces from long range. Independent actors such as Fabinot and [[Yakugiria|YSR]] leader Crisis fought everyone casually. Near the latter stage of the battle, Caesar's Legion joined the server and utilized previously retired ACF power armor suits to provide heavy fire support for Verslavian infantry. GMAP forces took severe losses and gradually retreated from the server, with [[CatGopher98|Catgopher]] leaving last. Verslavia was admitted into the Wojtek Pact following the battle.

'''Wojtek K/D: 2.19 (521/237)'''

'''GMAP K/D: 0.42 (82/195)'''

== Noob Deescalation ==
On July 9, 2025, Wojtek and [[Yakugiria|YSR]] forces (which were neutral in the conflict) engaged on Noob Sandbox in the afternoon. Due to Noob's lack of enforcement of crew vehicles, non-crew vehicles remained functional, giving [[Yakugiria|YSR]] an upper hand in fighting [[Izakia]]n crew vehicles. The battle erupted into a heated argument over the use of non-crew vehicles and personal attacks and YSR's admittance of former Imperial Alliance members such as Ratakis and Duff. Baccio, leader of [[Kathlaxia]], intervened and successfully deescalated the situation. Wojtek Pact and Yakugirian members continued discussions in the Global Military Agreement discord voice channel and agreed to deescalate the conflict between each other. As a result, Wojtek and Yakugiria reached a state of neutrality between each other.

== Battle of Gendrome (Inconclusive) ==
On July 12, 2025, a mixed [[Ludasia]]n-[[Verslavia]]n force invaded Gendrome and interrupted a GMAP training session. The battle lasted an hour with both sides suffering heavy casualties and enduring extreme lag conditions. K/D calculations have proven excessively difficult due to multiple player crashes during the latter end of the fight as the lag intensified.

== Versailles Campaign ==

=== Versailles Skirmish (Minor Engagement) ===
On July 16, 2025, a Wojtek force consisting of IZK, NRK, CTF, and LUD joined Versailles to engage [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]]. [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] was reinforced by [[Shadow Company]], but quickly retreated from the server, citing the time as being too late to commit to a fight.

=== Battle of Versailles (Wojtek Victory)<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUZWPSV9_DI</ref> ===
[[File:VersaillesInfantryCoalition.png|thumb|338x338px|Wojtek forces pushing down a street with the support of an IFV.]]
On July 24, 2025, Wojtek forces noticed a [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]]-[[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] presence on Versailles. Assuming it was a training exercise, a scout was sent to survey the scene, only to find out that it was a genuine [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] incursion. A combined [[Kalestania|NRK]], [[Ludasia|LUD]], and [[Izakia|IZK]] force joined the server and engaged a handful of [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] tanks, which were [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] exports. Following the loss of 3 tanks and advdupe2 losing functionality occasionally during the battle, both forces relegated to standard M9K PVP for most of the battle. Wojtek forces utilized combined arms warfare, with infantry being supported by an IFV from [[International Weapons Corporation|International Weapons Conglomerate]] driven by Ape. This gave them a significant advantage dealing with GMAP forces, and even cleared out one small base with its supporting fire. The battle lasted an estimated 2 hours, with [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]] reinforcements arriving and putting extra pressure on GMAP with infantry and armored forces. GMAP forces gradually withdrew from the server and conceded defeat.

The Wojtek Pact had previously claimed Versailles as shown in a propaganda video,<ref>https://youtu.be/tGh6FIcfG30?si=_9ZtZsDHv3lS1gb9&t=155</ref> but after hearing that the server staff wished for the server to remain neutral, the Wojtek Pact withdrew its claim after an internal discussion.

'''Wojtek K/D: 2.57 (535/208)'''

'''GMAP K/D: 0.71 (327/512)'''

=== 2nd Battle of Versailles (Stalemate) ===
(I was personally not there, there will be a lot of missing details -Phil)

On July 25, 2025, Wojtek Pact forces engaged [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] on Versailles sandbox for the 2nd time. During the battle, the map switched to gm_bigcity_improved where fighting continued. The battle became very chaotic due to the use of 3 different mediums: Glide, ACF, and M9K. This complicated the means to combat each other's vehicles, as Glide could kill ACF but not vice versa, while M9K could kill both. Both sides fought hard, but the resulting K/D calculations caused a divide between who won the battle. Since the K/D difference was 0.002 (which equates to 1 kill), the Wojtek Pact considers the battle to be a stalemate due to the microscopic K/D delta and the fact that GMAP did not rejoin following a server crash, while GMAP considered it to be a victory.

'''Wojtek K/D: 1.015 (347/342)'''

'''GMAP K/D: 1.017 (466/458)'''

=== Versailles Controversy ===
Versailles began experiencing a period of decline after August 15 after [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] declared war on [[Multi Purpose Task Force (M.P.T.F)|MPTF]], the native clan that garrisons the server. Wattson, a [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] member, had defected to [[Multi Purpose Task Force (M.P.T.F)|MPTF]]. Due to the conflict, MPTF server staff banned multiple clans from the server, claiming that DRS had violated the server's mandate that claims were prohibited. After the controversy reached the rest of the community, the bans were eventually lifted. Immediately the next day, dupesteal allegations spread on the server after MPTF members were allegedly seen possessing DRS technology. A server random fueled the controversy by alleging that he had seen them spawning out tech from various [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] factions and reviewing them in private. These allegations ultimately fell flat as it was discovered that the random was a former [[Inner Sphere Alliance|ISA]] member attempting to cause chaos.

Various other grievances with the server have significantly harmed its reputation, citing inconsistent rule enforcement, general incompetence, and delayed response times to reports of rulebreaking. [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] went as far as declaring Versailles a "[[The Turtle Nation|TTN]] category server" in reference to That Sandbox Server. As a result of these controversies and concerns with security, the Wojtek Pact scaled back official operations on the server. After the fog was cleared and the dupesteal allegations were debunked, the Wojtek Pact played on the server casually to fight [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] and spectate other smaller conflicts that occurred.

== Valen Campaign ==

=== 1st Battle of Valen (Wojtek Victory)<ref>https://youtu.be/B0xI6BAbFsM?si=ldQB9b0PRl5fCuHg</ref> ===
Throughout the course of the war, only token [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] forces had attempted to contest the Wojtek Pact's occupation of Valen Sandbox. The primary GMAP force engaging the Wojtek Pact on Valen was [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]], led by Larry. Nearly all incursions had been carried out by DRS, but faced overwhelming Wojtek defenses each time. The Wojtek has stated that these battles will not be counted against GMAP because they were short-lived and involve DRS being very outnumbered.

This changed following a direct invasion of Valen by [[Cat-Gopher Industries|CGI]]-[[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] forces on July 30. The Wojtek Pact had such a huge response that the server neared its maximum player limit, forcing some to leave or be kicked by an admin to make room for GMAP. The battle originally was meant to be between [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]] and GMAP explicitly, but frustration against GMAP's inaction by the Wojtek Pact had reached a fever pitch, and the rest of the alliance participated in the battle anyway. ULSCI forces made up the bulk of the fight early on, but [[Izakia|IZK]], [[Verslavia|VSR]], [[Cerulean Taskforce|CTF]], [[Kathlaxia|KAX]], and [[International Weapons Corporation|IW]] began to rotate into the fight. GMAP forces maintained cohesion despite the Wojtek Pact's advances, but ultimately fell to flanking attacks and combined arms warfare supplemented by [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]] and [[Cerulean Taskforce|CTF]] air support. The map also switched from gm_warmap to gm_bigcity, where GMAP armored forces took greater losses as they became scattered and vastly outnumbered. The battle lasted a total of two hours, with GMAP conceding the fight and stating that they would continue the fight for Valen sandbox the next day.

The Battle of Valen is one of if not the largest tank battles in Garry's Mod Faction history. Almost all of Valen sandbox's 24 player slots were filled, and tanks engaged each other in platoon numbers. The server experienced high lag conditions, but both sides endured and fought through the lag.<gallery widths="240">

=== KXMI Skirmishes and ULSCI's "Great Crusade" ===
[[File:ULSCITanks.png|thumb|2 ULSCI tanks during the Great Crusade.]]
On August 4, A minor [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] force engaged Larry, believing him to be [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]]. However, Larry was in fact fighting for [[Koupii-Modrik International|KXMI]] after [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] refused to aid him. KXMI forces engaged KATO with heavy losses on both sides. Since KXMI and the Wojtek Pact were not at war with each other, a breakdown in the diplomatic situation ensued. This was compounded further when [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]], a Wojtek member, launched their Great Crusade, declaring war on every faction out of boredom and engaging both sides. Before this however, [[Bozostan]], a former [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization]] faction, was fighting its own war on [[NPC Zombies Vs. Players]] out of boredom. Castle, the leader of Bozostan, saw this as an opportunity to create more positive relations between the two. However, on 7/27/2025, [[Ludasia]]'s leader Phil would negotiate with KXMI, asking for KXMI to stop sending PvPers to ACF fights as-long as Wojtek didn't help Bozostan on NPC Zombies Vs. Players, This upset the members of Bozostan who would view this as a sign of weakness from the Wojtek Pact and KATO, thus leading to the expulsion of most KATO figures from the Bozostan discord and the severing of communication between the two on a large scale. Due to this recent diplomatic incident, Bozostan would support ULSCI in its great crusade, providing man power and infantry support. Upon ULSCI's launch of the crusade it was promptly ejected from the Wojtek Pact. Despite lines being drawn, confusion amongst the Wojtek Pact regarding who was and wasn't an enemy made the 3-way battle untenable, and thus withdrew from the battle. KXMI continued fighting ULSCI forces until they withdrew as well, then declared victory. This would be ULSCI's only battle of their crusade as time was drawing short and summer was ending.

KXMI heavily criticized GMAP for refusing to aid Larry in taking back their lost territory. Larry then announced his withdrawal from GMAP, citing their lack of aid on multiple instances.

=== 2nd KXMI Skirmish ===
The Wojtek Pact took offense towards [[Koupii-Modrik International|KXMI]]'s occupation on the server and their celebration following yesterday's battle. On August 5, Wojtek forces secured control of Valen Sandbox in a rapid invasion. Due to overwhelming Wojtek numbers, KXMI was pushed out of their defensive positions at the sewage plant on gm_bigcity and withdrew from the server. Relations between KXMI and the Wojtek Pact soured as a result of the battle, with KXMI insisting that the Wojtek Pact was taking it too seriously.

=== 2nd Battle of Valen ===

==== Prelude ====
During Wojtek Pact discussions regarding a course of action following recent fights with [[Koupii-Modrik International|KXMI]], the alliance received news about [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] bringing the Imperial Alliance, an alliance known for having cheaters such as Bluemetaknight and Breacher, into its fold. This sparked community-wide outrage, and the Wojtek Pact and KXMI alliances agreed to a ceasefire to fight against a common enemy. [[Yakugiria]] and the [[The Imperium|Imperium]] both warned GMAP that if they did not expel IA from its alliance, then they would declare war. Since [[CatGopher98]], GMAP's leader, remained silent on the matter, the Wojtek Pact prepared to fight a protracted war against a GMAP-IA combined force.

==== Battle ====
On August 6, a small [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] force consisting of [[Cat-Gopher Industries|CGI]], [[Solar Imperium|SOL]], and [[Shadow Company|SC]] arrived on Valen. A massive [[Coalition]] response began, with [[International Weapons Corporation|IW]], [[Cerulean Taskforce|CTF]], [[Ludasia|LUD]], [[Independent Karelian Republic|IKR]], [[Kalestania|NRK]], [[Verslavia|VSR]], and [[Izakia|IZK]] mobilizing in defense of the server. Upon changing the map to gm_warmap, Catgopher did not reconnect. As the Wojtek Pact set up positions on a hill, Imperial Alliance forces were spotted deploying tanks, some having GMAP roundels. Wojtek Pact artillery suppressed any attempt by GMAP to launch an attack, with tanks positioning themselves to hit targets from multiple angles at once. GMAP forces attempted multiple breakouts from one of the fortresses signature to gm_warmap, but were stopped each time by superior Wojtek Pact firepower. The Imperial Alliance attempted to aid GMAP, but were defeated by direct fire artillery, aircraft, and close quarters tank fights. GMAP was outnumbered and outgunned, and silently withdrew from the server. Mr. Radd complained about an NRK tank using a primitive prop as its turret armor, which breaks the implicit agreement by both belligerents not to use primitives for the main armor of a tank, and KATO assured him that it would be fixed.<gallery widths="300">

=== Operation Eclipse ===
[[File:OperationEclipse.png|thumb|421x421px|GMAP and KMI posing for a photoshoot on Valen Sandbox.]]
Due to inactivity from [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]], the Wojtek Pact had declared victory on August 13. The next day, GMAP and KMI coordinated a two-pronged attack on the Wojtek Pact, occupying Versailles and completely filling Valen sandbox, making a counterattack on Valen unfeasible due to the fact that Wojtek would have been severely outnumbered (with an estimated 3-4 slots open, with the rest being GMAP and KMI). Furthermore, Versailles had its ACF damage perms set to build mode, making ACF combat impossible on the server. Wojtek prepared a large response force of approximately 10 members and opted to wait for slots to open to allow for a counterattack, but GMAP and KMI completely withdrew from both servers and cited the lack of a response from Wojtek in spite of the player slots being filled on Valen. GMAP declared the operation, named "Eclipse," a success, though the tactic of packing servers became a point of controversy as it denied the Wojtek Pact a fair opportunity to fight back.

Following KMI's declaration of war against the Wojtek Pact, the Imperium, a member of KMI, withdrew from the alliance due to conflict of interest, seeking to retain cordial diplomatic relations with KATO.

=== 3rd Battle of Valen (Inconclusive) ===
On August 17, Wojtek Pact and [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] forces began fighting at around 5:30 PM EST. The battle lasted 2 hours with both sides gaining and losing momentum throughout various periods of the battle. Both sides suffered heavy losses, but KMI withdrew from the battle after 2 hours had passed, with Crisis conceding defeat (which was contested by the rest of KMI leadership). A major controversy was the use of automated anti-air turrets by KMI during the battle, which were the cause of many [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] aircraft losses. Due to the dangerous precedent of automated weaponry and the historical taboo associated with it, both sides agreed to ban it from further use in the conflict.

== Late Stage (WIP) ==
Improved relations with [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] following the 3rd Battle of Valen and an agreement to hold off on conducting serious battles led to the conflict slowing down significantly. With both [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] and the Wojtek Pact reducing their activity due to factors such as burnout, the end of summer, and resumption of education, serious fighting effectively ceased after the 3rd Battle of Valen. Though there were multiple skirmishes between the Wojtek Pact and KMI on Versailles, both sides agreed that they were not serious fights. The Wojtek Pact ultimately achieved its goal of pushing GMAP out of Valen sandbox and taking it for themselves, inflicting heavy losses on them in doing so. Hostilities have not officially ended, though major fighting has slowed down significantly.

=== Return of AEF ===
On December 12th, 2025, the Arterian Expeditionary Force (previously named the Assault Expeditionary Force) announced its return to the Gmod meta after five years of inactivity. The Wojtek Pact had been working in secret for months to help AEF return, providing technological assistance, training, and catching them up on the geopolitical situation. On the day of their return, AEF published a video to their channel to announce it.

<youtube>YLeIXsptPf0</youtube>The next day, Marchkarcz announced that the Wojtek Pact was ready to fight again following the commencement of winter break for many of its members. GMAP reciprocated, however they did not perform any military actions afterward.

=== 4th Battle of Valen ===
On December 15th, Sergei and Aldeweir of VSR went onto Koupii, the capital of KMI, and began skirmishing with KMI forces. Upon the arrival of Crisis turning it into a 2v3, NRK called for AEF reinforcements and outnumbered KMI. Wojtek saw significant success during the fight, but due to the late time of the battle and several members being sick, KMI withdrew. The skirmish angered YSR, and set the stage for the coming battle on Valen.

On December 17th, Sergei went on Versailles Sandbox Server and heard Crisis speaking negatively about him. Sergei took offense to this, and called AEF to reinforce him, then challenged Crisis to a fight on Valen. Crisis accepted the challenge and both sides moved to Valen for the battle. During the fight, YSR took significant losses to AEF combined arms warfare, with IFVs being harassed by a combination of aircraft, infantry, and emplacements. AEF scaled back their use of aircraft to level the playing field, but this was not enough to allow YSR to make a comeback, and they conceded defeat. The battle solidified the Wojtek Pact's control of Valen Sandbox following the failure of the previous battle to determine who occupies the server. This battle marked the final battle of the Great Gunny War.<gallery widths="200" heights="200">

IMR, officially known as '''The Imperium''', is a major faction in the Gmod meta. Previously, IMR was fiercly aggressive, actively seeking engagements with any faction, though today IMR maintains a dormant posture to keep levels of escalation low. In its history, it has acted as the spearhead in conflicts between major alliances.

== History ==
IMR was founded sometime in 2019 by [[Arna]], and went inactive in 2021. Not much is known about this period, as IMR did not bother to document its history. In July 2022, [[Novic]] & [[Hito]] founded Neo-IMR, the heir to the old Imperium. As the founding purpose of Neo-IMR was to have the longest unbroken winning streak, ever since the creation of Neo-IMR, it has lost one fight on pvp against CSI, and none on ACF.

=== 2019-2021 ===
During 2019 and 2021, IMR largely served with [[Orzel Republics (2021)|Orzel]] on ACF and Daktank. They are unable to provide much information on what IMR participated in, as mentioned above.

=== 2022-Present ===
Ever since the founding of Neo-IMR, IMR has been a strictly ACF-based faction, acting rarely within PvP communities. It was a member of the [[Imperial Alliance]], [[Technology Engineering Coalition]], [[Orzel Republics (2021)|Orzel Republics]], and the Koupii-Modrik Internationale. As of 2025, it is independent, and not a member of any major alliance. Its closest allies to this day remain [[Cerulean Taskforce|CTF]], [[Inner Sphere Alliance|ISA]], NPF, and YSR.

During 2022, IMR was largely recovering from its inactivity, recruiting members and beginning production of its service vehicles. The (almost) full list of vehicles can be found [[List of vehicles in service by the Imperium|here]]. The most notable vehicles made domestically by IMR were the Kondor and the Apartheid, both of which serving for a full year before being replaced by the Cascade. IMR partook in the CSI-YSR war in late 2022, fighting two battles for YSR, as a private military group. Later on IMR would join the [[Slavingrad Pact]], and swap sides to fight YSR in the conflict, helping CSI win the war against YSR. IMR would then go on to fight on [[Urtanesia|UNR]]'s side in the Yakugirian civil war, which despite UNR winning all of its fights resulted in YSR winning due to being the only party left standing. IMR chose to not pursue the war, as it was deemed pointless after the collapse of [[Urtanesia|UNR]]. As late 2022 was the end stage of FDV, IMR did not participate in large scale battles on ACF.

During 2023, IMR began its first major ACF operations since 2021. After the fall of the [[Slavingrad Pact]], IMR entered a tripartite pact with [[Anti Cringe Association|ACA]] and the AO, to fight the GC, [[Greater Prussian Kingdom|GPK]], SPRA, SSR, YSR, and the 148th. [[Anti Cringe Association|ACA]] dropped out of the fight, the AO lost its own against [[Greater Prussian Kingdom|GPK]], meanwhile IMR won the fight against GC. After these events, IMR ended up allying with the second [[Imperial Alliance]] to fight against [[Izakia|IZK]] & [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]], and launching a full-scale invasion of [[Valen Sandbox|Valen]] & Noob, claiming the servers. In this year, the Cascade and the Relict (two of the most successful IMR MBT's) would fight many battles, besting [[Izakia|IZK]] & [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] on [[Valen Sandbox|Valen]], and removing FAI's presence off of Noob. IMR had climbed back onto the top of the meta, and set [[Izakia|IZK]] & [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] as its enemies.

During 2024, IMR heavily escalated the ACF minmax scene, creating designs that would prove superior, and much more cancerous to everything previously made. Utilizing primitives and the idea of star destroyers, Snoopy went on to create armor layouts that other parties copied using the newly introduced ACF scanner. Novic then refitted the armor setup to function on a vertical turret axis, and used max-size tubes as aircraft baseplates, reviving the gun-aimed turret tank meta, and marking the beginning of the most abusive aircraft. though, with the later introduction of crew to ACF, these designs became obsolete. In June, August and December, [[Izakia|IZK]] would attempt to retake [[Valen Sandbox|Valen]] from IMR, failing all three times. After the events of the [[Truth Nuke|truth nuke]], where [[Imperial Alliance|IA]] would use heavily illegal vehicles in an attempt to combat [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] on [[Valen Sandbox|Valen]], IMR began questioning why they were allied to [[Imperial Alliance|IA]]. It was at this time they evaluated the personality traits and actions of those who were in [[Imperial Alliance|IA]], and realized this wasn't an alliance worth fighting for.

During 2025, IMR officially severed ties with [[Imperial Alliance|IA]], after finding out about their plans to pre-emptively strike IMR by rallying [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] and GMAP against them. As a result, IMR joined KMI, and swiftly reacted to [[Imperial Alliance|IA]] by using their idea against them first, leaking many screenshots of [[Imperial Alliance|IA's]] inner chats (most of which captured socially unacceptable behavior), and other lies [[Imperial Alliance|IA]] had told, to [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]]. This marked the point at which tensions between [[Izakia|IZK]], [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] and IMR rapidly cooled down, as both sides came to terms with each other. A joint relations server between [[Izakia|IZK]], [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] and IMR was established, where the parties would further communicate to each other. IMR then began helping [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]]'s devs of ACF to bugtest and improve the newly introduced crew update, and entered an alliance with [[Cerulean Taskforce|CTF]]. IMR dropped its claims on [[Valen Sandbox|Valen]] shortly after, leaving Valen to be contested by KMI and the [[Coalition]]. Despite being in rival alliances, IMR stayed out of fights between KMI and the [[Coalition]]. Part of IMR's interests were to not escalate the ACF situation further, whereas KMI interests lied in dealing with the [[Coalition]]. IMR deemed these interests to be conflicting, so they ended up leaving the KMI alliance.

=== The Planet ===
[[File:YSR's first contact with imr.png|thumb|YSR's first contact with an imperian drone.]]
Imperia is a supermassive planet, about 7 times the size of earth, and located roughly 13 billion lightyears away from earth. It is estimated to be around 12.3 billion years old, meanwhile the imperian race likely formed roughly 2.1 billion years after the formation of Imperia. Biodiversity on Imperia was insanely vast, as the planet featured and supported many different terrain and lifeforms, however, conditions on Imperia were incredibly hostile. Winters would often freeze the entire planet, and summers left most parts of the planet on fire. The atmosphere was insanely dense, to the point that lighter lifeforms were able to walk on it. Rough terrain and constant flora death favored carnivorous lifeforms, filling the planet to the brim with deadly predators.

=== Pre-Conversion Imperians ===
The imperian race, from now on referred to as "the Imperians", is the sole survivor, and the victor of the "War over Imperia", a conflict lasting 100 millennia for dominance against every other civilisation over control of the entire planet. They are humanoid, being structurally similar to humans. Key differences in their biology to humans are size, sensory organ count, muscular density, bone material, digestive system and respiratory system. Pre-conversion Imperians were roughly 5 times as large as humans and featured 4 eyes (wider eyesockets, fitting two eyeballs each). Imperians have advanced optimized muscles thrice as dense as humans, allowing them to carry 150x their body weight without much issues and bones mineralized with wolframite making them be able to carry way heavier loads. Imperians feature long reverse joint legs, which give them more vertical jump, higher tops speeds, and overall better versatility. Their superacidic digestive system allowed them to eat any lifeform they come across, and gills on the base of the neck to breathe underwater. On their body they have black solar pigments able to absorb sunlight and undergo photosynthesis. These solar pigments are dense around the arms and legs, however leave the thighs, upper arm, torso, neck and head area with "whitebone" armored skin pigments. All of their vital organs are under these whitebone pigments, offering great laceration and puncture resistance. Imperians are able to regenerate any lost body part, aslong as their brain is not severely damaged and they gain enough resources to fully regenerate their body. Pre-conversion imperial hospitals had large pods of biofuel, specifically designed to help wounded Imperians regenerate faster and safely. Similar to humans, their lifespan is limited by shortening of telomeres. Regenerating bodyparts heavily shortened the lifespan of an Imperian.

''The Great Gunny War'', also referred to by ''The Great Wait War'' or ''The Great Waitriotic Snore,'' is a conflict between the revived [[Coalition]] and the [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact]] on Valen Sandbox. The conflict came after declining relations between the [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]]-[[Izakia|IZK]] sphere and [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] as well as the debut of ACF crew. '''The Great Gunny War''' is the first ever conflict that involved the use of ACF Crew vehicles.

== Prelude (March–June 2025) ==

Following the conclusion of the [[The Great Weight War|Great Weight War]] at the end of March, both sides had declared victory. Each side cited their own reasons as to why they won. [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] perceived the conflict from a broader lens, counting battles before and outside of Theater of Operations as part of their victories, while the Coalition adopted a narrower lens and focused exclusively on their victories on Theater, having never considered the engagements prior to be one continuous war. The lack of a unified consensus on who won the conflict lead to dissatisfaction within the Coalition after the war's end. Furthermore, [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] and [[The Imperium|IMR]] established an embassy between each other in an effort to deescalate tensions following numerous incidents where [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]]-[[Izakia|IZK]] and [[The Imperium|IMR]] forces exchanged ammo bombs during ACF fights. Later on, [[Izakia|IZK]] was invited to the embassy. Conflict with [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] had begun due to the shared belief that [[The Imperium|IMR]] was maliciously influencing them. [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] later learned that IMR was actually there to counter attempts by the [[Imperial Alliance]] to influence GMAP. This was not known to KATO until the 12th of February, the day the embassy was established. KATO resolved to continue the war due to general distaste for GMAP's behavior.

Internal discussion within the [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]]-[[Izakia|IZK]] sphere between [[Phil 2014|Phil]], Sergei, and Tox about reviving the defunct [[Coalition|SCI Coalition]] that had resisted [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] from 2018 to 2019 was sparse and mostly discussed as a joke. However, after the end of the [[The Great Weight War|Great Weight War]], the [[Coalition]] was officially revived. [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] members and [[Izakia|IZK]] retain their original identities or membership status within respective alliances, with the Coalition acting as a general title for member factions opposing the Garry's Mod Alliance Pact. The Coalition is also sometimes referred to as the Wojtek Pact, but this is used primarily by IZK members who wanted to revive the old alliance. Both titles are used to describe the same alliance, often leading to some confusion.

Following the war, the Coalition declined in major public activity in the meta save for individual appearances. Between the months of March and June, members of the Coalition acted as beta testers for the ACF Crew Update in undisclosed locations. Near Mid-June, the Coalition ramped up its activity slightly, invading the IA capitol server, CKC, and successfully defeating FAI forces in two consecutive battles after they switched the server to ACF-2. The Coalition also made two appearances on Versailles Sandbox and engaged IA and [[Yakugiria|YSR]] forces out of boredom.

== Beginning ==
Following multiple delays, the [[Coalition]] occupied Valen Sandbox on the 28th of June, 2025 and remained for 2 hours.<ref>https://youtu.be/p1hXDFlBj3U?si=NE_T0nlQCb5drExV</ref> At the same time, the Coalition published a declaration of war against the [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact]]. Due to [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]]'s lack of ACF crew vehicles, no ACF combat or fighting occurred in any major capacity in the opening two weeks of the war.

== Battle of Noob (Coalition Victory)<ref>https://youtu.be/PkouTGXrSRs?si=J1MGFCyKM-AiIlbw</ref> ==
[[File:Noobkd.png|thumb|266x266px|Final recorded K/D on Noob Sandbox before players began withdrawing.]]
On July 8, 2025, [[Kalestania|NRK]] leader Jarck joined Noob, a common faction hub, prompting a heavy [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] response. The situation escalated rapidly, with [[Verslavia]] joining to fight GMAP which prompted reinforcements in turn. While [[Verslavia]] performed the bulk of infantry combat, [[Coalition]] snipers harassed GMAP forces from long range. Independent actors such as Fabinot and [[Yakugiria|YSR]] leader Crisis fought everyone casually. Near the latter stage of the battle, Caesar's Legion joined the server and utilized previously retired ACF power armor suits to provide heavy fire support for Verslavian infantry. GMAP forces took severe losses and gradually retreated from the server, with [[CatGopher98|Catgopher]] leaving last. Verslavia was admitted into the Coalition following the battle.

'''Coalition K/D: 2.19 (521/237)'''

'''GMAP K/D: 0.42 (82/195)'''

== Noob Deescalation ==
On July 9, 2025, [[Coalition]] and [[Yakugiria|YSR]] forces (which were neutral in the conflict) engaged on Noob Sandbox in the afternoon. Due to Noob's lack of enforcement of crew vehicles, non-crew vehicles remained functional, giving [[Yakugiria|YSR]] an upper hand in fighting [[Izakia]]n crew vehicles. The battle erupted into a heated argument over the use of non-crew vehicles and personal attacks and YSR's admittance of former Imperial Alliance members such as Ratakis and Duff. Baccio, leader of [[Kathlaxia]], intervened and successfully deescalated the situation. Coalition and Yakugirian members continued discussions in the Global Military Agreement discord voice channel and agreed to deescalate the conflict between each other. As a result, the Coalition and Yakugiria reached a state of neutrality between each other.

== Battle of Gendrome (Inconclusive) ==
On July 12, 2025, a mixed [[Ludasia]]n-[[Verslavia]]n force invaded Gendrome and interrupted a GMAP training session. The battle lasted an hour with both sides suffering heavy casualties and enduring extreme lag conditions. K/D calculations have proven excessively difficult due to multiple player crashes during the latter end of the fight as the lag intensified.

== Versailles Campaign ==

=== Versailles Skirmish (Minor Engagement) ===
On July 16, 2025, a Coalition force consisting of IZK, NRK, CTF, and LUD joined Versailles to engage [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]]. [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] was reinforced by [[Shadow Company]], but quickly retreated from the server, citing the time as being too late to commit to a fight.

=== Battle of Versailles (Coalition Victory)<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUZWPSV9_DI</ref> ===
[[File:VersaillesInfantryCoalition.png|thumb|338x338px|Coalition forces pushing down a street with the support of an IFV.]]
On July 24, 2025, Coalition forces noticed a [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]]-[[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] presence on Versailles. Assuming it was a training exercise, a scout was sent to survey the scene, only to find out that it was a genuine [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] incursion. A combined [[Kalestania|NRK]], [[Ludasia|LUD]], and [[Izakia|IZK]] force joined the server and engaged a handful of [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] tanks, which were [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] exports. Following the loss of 3 tanks and advdupe2 losing functionality occasionally during the battle, both forces relegated to standard M9K PVP for most of the battle. Coalition forces utilized combined arms warfare, with infantry being supported by an IFV from [[International Weapons Corporation|International Weapons Conglomerate]] driven by Ape. This gave them a significant advantage dealing with GMAP forces, and even cleared out one small base with its supporting fire. The battle lasted an estimated 2 hours, with [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]] reinforcements arriving and putting extra pressure on GMAP with infantry and armored forces. GMAP forces gradually withdrew from the server and conceded defeat.

The Coalition had previously claimed Versailles as shown in a propaganda video,<ref>https://youtu.be/tGh6FIcfG30?si=_9ZtZsDHv3lS1gb9&t=155</ref> but after hearing that the server staff wished for the server to remain neutral, the Coalition withdrew its claim after an internal discussion.

'''Coalition K/D: 2.57 (535/208)'''

'''GMAP K/D: 0.71 (327/512)'''

=== 2nd Battle of Versailles (Stalemate/Minor GMAP Victory) ===
(I was personally not there, there will be a lot of missing details -Phil)

On July 25, 2025, [[Coalition]] forces engaged [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] on Versailles sandbox for the 2nd time. During the battle, the map switched to gm_bigcity_improved where fighting continued. The battle became very chaotic due to the use of 3 different mediums: Glide, ACF, and M9K. This complicated the means to combat each other's vehicles, as Glide could kill ACF but not vice versa, while M9K could kill both. Both sides fought hard, but the resulting K/D calculations caused a divide between who won the battle. Since the K/D difference was 0.002 (which equates to 1 kill), the Coalition considers the battle to be a stalemate, while GMAP considers it to be a victory.

'''Coalition K/D: 1.015 (347/342)'''

'''GMAP K/D: 1.017 (466/458)'''

=== Versailles Controversy ===
Versailles began experiencing a period of decline after August 15 after [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] declared war on [[Multi Purpose Task Force (M.P.T.F)|MPTF]], the native clan that garrisons the server. Wattson, a [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] member, had defected to [[Multi Purpose Task Force (M.P.T.F)|MPTF]]. Due to the conflict, MPTF server staff banned multiple clans from the server, claiming that DRS had violated the server's mandate that claims were prohibited. After the controversy reached the rest of the community, the bans were eventually lifted. Immediately the next day, dupesteal allegations spread on the server after MPTF members were allegedly seen possessing DRS technology. A server random fueled the controversy by alleging that he had seen them spawning out tech from various [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] factions and reviewing them in private. These allegations ultimately fell flat as it was discovered that the random was a former [[Inner Sphere Alliance|ISA]] member attempting to cause chaos.

Various other grievances with the server have significantly harmed its reputation, citing inconsistent rule enforcement, general incompetence, and delayed response times to reports of rulebreaking. [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] went as far as declaring Versailles a "[[The Turtle Nation|TTN]] category server" in reference to That Sandbox Server. As a result of these controversies and concerns with security, the Coalition scaled back official operations on the server. After the fog was cleared and the dupesteal allegations were debunked, the [[Coalition]] played on the server casually to fight [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] and spectate other smaller conflicts that occurred.

== Valen Campaign ==

=== 1st Battle of Valen (Coalition Victory)<ref>https://youtu.be/B0xI6BAbFsM?si=ldQB9b0PRl5fCuHg</ref> ===
Throughout the course of the war, only token [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] forces had attempted to contest the [[Coalition]]'s occupation of Valen Sandbox. The primary GMAP force engaging the Coalition on Valen was [[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]], led by Larry. Nearly all incursions had been carried out by DRS, but faced overwhelming Coalition defenses each time. The Coalition has stated that these battles will not be counted against GMAP because they were short-lived and involve DRS being very outnumbered.

This changed following a direct invasion of Valen by [[Cat-Gopher Industries|CGI]]-[[Democratic Republic of Skossia|DRS]] forces on July 30. The Coalition had such a huge response that the server neared its maximum player limit, forcing some to leave or be kicked by an admin to make room for GMAP. The battle originally was meant to be between [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]] and GMAP explicitly, but frustration against GMAP's inaction by the [[Coalition]] had reached a fever pitch, and the rest of the alliance participated in the battle anyway. ULSCI forces made up the bulk of the fight early on, but [[Izakia|IZK]], [[Verslavia|VSR]], [[Cerulean Taskforce|CTF]], [[Kathlaxia|KAX]], and [[International Weapons Corporation|IW]] began to rotate into the fight. GMAP forces maintained cohesion despite the Coalition's advances, but ultimately fell to flanking attacks and combined arms warfare supplemented by [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]] and [[Cerulean Taskforce|CTF]] air support. The map also switched from gm_warmap to gm_bigcity, where GMAP armored forces took greater losses as they became scattered and vastly outnumbered. The battle lasted a total of two hours, with GMAP conceding the fight and stating that they would continue the fight for Valen sandbox the next day.

The Battle of Valen is one of if not the largest tank battles in Garry's Mod Faction history. Almost all of Valen sandbox's 24 player slots were filled, and tanks engaged each other in platoon numbers. The server experienced high lag conditions, but both sides endured and fought through the lag.<gallery widths="240">

=== KXMI Skirmishes and ULSCI's "Great Crusade" ===
[[File:ULSCITanks.png|thumb|2 ULSCI tanks during the Great Crusade.]]
On August 4, A minor [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] force engaged Larry, believing him to be [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]]. However, Larry was in fact fighting for [[Koupii-Modrik International|KXMI]] after [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] refused to aid him. KXMI forces engaged KATO with heavy losses on both sides. Since KXMI and the [[Coalition]] were not at war with each other, a breakdown in the diplomatic situation ensued. This was compounded further when [[United Legion of SCI|ULSCI]], a Coalition member, launched their Great Crusade, declaring war on every faction out of boredom and engaging both sides. Before this however, [[Bozostan]], a former [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization]] faction, was fighting its own war on [[NPC Zombies Vs. Players]] out of boredom. Castle, the leader of Bozostan, saw this as an opportunity to create more positive relations between the two. However, on 7/27/2025, [[Ludasia]]'s leader Phil would negotiate with KXMI, asking for KXMI to stop sending PvPers to ACF fights as-long as Coalition didn't help Bozostan on NPC Zombies Vs. Players, This upset the members of Bozostan who would view this as a sign of weakness from the Coalition and KATO, thus leading to the expulsion of most KATO figures from the Bozostan discord and the severing of communication between the two on a large scale. Due to this recent diplomatic incident, Bozostan would support ULSCI in its great crusade, providing man power and infantry support. Upon ULSCI's launch of the crusade it was promptly ejected from the Coalition. Despite lines being drawn, confusion amongst the Coalition regarding who was and wasn't an enemy made the 3-way battle untenable, and thus withdrew from the battle. KXMI continued fighting ULSCI forces until they withdrew as well, then declared victory. This would be ULSCI's only battle of their crusade as time was drawing short and summer was ending.

KXMI heavily criticized GMAP for refusing to aid Larry in taking back their lost territory. Larry then announced his withdrawal from GMAP, citing their lack of aid on multiple instances.

=== 2nd KXMI Skirmish ===
The [[Coalition]] took offense towards [[Koupii-Modrik International|KXMI]]'s occupation on the server and their celebration following yesterday's battle. On August 5, Coalition forces secured control of Valen Sandbox in a rapid invasion. Due to overwhelming Coalition numbers, KXMI was pushed out of their defensive positions at the sewage plant on gm_bigcity and withdrew from the server. Relations between KXMI and the Coalition soured as a result of the battle, with KXMI insisting that the Coalition was taking it too seriously.

=== 2nd Battle of Valen ===

==== Prelude ====
During [[Coalition]] discussions regarding a course of action following recent fights with [[Koupii-Modrik International|KXMI]], the alliance received news about [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] bringing the Imperial Alliance, an alliance known for having cheaters such as Bluemetaknight and Breacher, into its fold. This sparked community-wide outrage, and the Coalition and KXMI alliances agreed to a ceasefire to fight against a common enemy. [[Yakugiria]] and the [[The Imperium|Imperium]] both warned GMAP that if they did not expel IA from its alliance, then they would declare war. Since [[CatGopher98]], GMAP's leader, remained silent on the matter, the Coalition prepared to fight a protracted war against a GMAP-IA combined force.

==== Battle ====
On August 6, a small [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] force consisting of [[Cat-Gopher Industries|CGI]], [[Solar Imperium|SOL]], and [[Shadow Company|SC]] arrived on Valen. A massive [[Coalition]] response began, with [[International Weapons Corporation|IW]], [[Cerulean Taskforce|CTF]], [[Ludasia|LUD]], [[Independent Karelian Republic|IKR]], [[Kalestania|NRK]], [[Verslavia|VSR]], and [[Izakia|IZK]] mobilizing in defense of the server. Upon changing the map to gm_warmap, Catgopher did not reconnect. As the Coalition set up positions on a hill, Imperial Alliance forces were spotted deploying tanks, some having GMAP roundels. Coalition artillery suppressed any attempt by GMAP to launch an attack, with tanks positioning themselves to hit targets from multiple angles at once. GMAP forces attempted multiple breakouts from one of the fortresses signature to gm_warmap, but were stopped each time by superior Coalition firepower. The Imperial Alliance attempted to aid GMAP, but were defeated by direct fire artillery, aircraft, and close quarters tank fights. GMAP was outnumbered and outgunned, and silently withdrew from the server. Mr. Radd complained about an NRK tank using a primitive prop as its turret armor, which breaks the implicit agreement by both belligerents not to use primitives for the main armor of a tank, and KATO assured him that it would be fixed.<gallery widths="300">

=== KMI Intervention ===
Due to inactivity from [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]], the [[Coalition]] had declared victory on August 13. In a two-pronged operation the next day, [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] and [[Koupii-Modrik International|KXMI]] occupied both Valen and Versailles Sandbox, challenging the Coalition to contest their occupation in the early afternoon. Coalition forces waited to muster a large enough force to respond, but by the time they had the numbers to match the Valen occupation forces, they had already left. Problems were compounded by the fact that Versailles had ACF damage perms set to build (making ACF useless) and KXMI had all but completely filled up the 24 player limit on Valen. KMI also formally declared war on the Coalition for unknown reasons as of recent. Valen remained a contested territory and a battle was organized for the 17th. As a result of hostilities between KMI and the Coalition, [[The Imperium|IMR]] left the former.

=== 3rd Battle of Valen (Inconclusive) ===
On August 17, [[Coalition]] and [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] forces began fighting at around 5:30 PM EST. The battle lasted 2 hours with both sides gaining and losing momentum throughout various periods of the battle. Both sides suffered heavy losses, but KMI withdrew from the battle after 2 hours had passed, with Crisis conceding defeat (which was contested by the rest of KMI leadership). A major controversy was the use of automated anti-air turrets by KMI during the battle, which were the cause of many [[Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization|KATO]] aircraft losses. Due to the dangerous precedent of automated weaponry and the historical taboo associated with it, both sides agreed to ban it from further use in the conflict.

== Late Stage (WIP) ==
Improved relations with [[Koupii-Modrik International|KMI]] following the 3rd Battle of Valen and an agreement to hold off on conducting serious battles led to the conflict slowing down significantly. With both [[Garry's Mod Alliance Pact|GMAP]] and the [[Coalition]] reducing their activity due to factors such as burnout, the end of summer, and resumption of education, serious fighting effectively ceased after the 3rd Battle of Valen. Though there were multiple skirmishes between the Coalition and KMI on Versailles, both sides agreed that they were not serious fights. The Coalition ultimately achieved its goal of pushing GMAP out of Valen sandbox and taking it for themselves, inflicting heavy losses on them in doing so. Hostilities have not officially ended, though major fighting has slowed down significantly.

}}

The '''Great Weight War''' was a four-month conflict primarily fought between the Garry's Mod Alliance Pact (GMAP) and Koupii-X̃ɀʌ̄ͷιwэ-Modrik International (KXMI) against the Coalition, an alliance comprised of many Kestrel-Astria Treaty Organization (KATO) and Petrograd Pact member states. The war lasted for around four months, in which fighting was inconsistent. Though it initially started on Valen Sandbox, the majority of battles took place on Theater of Operations. After prologned inactivity from the Coalition, they unilaterally declared victory and withdrew. With GMAP-KXMI forces winning the majority of battles and retaining control over the contested servers, the conflict is considered their strategic victory. The war inspired the Coalition to launch the [[The Great Gunny War|Great Gunny War]] in the Summer of the same year.

== Valen Sandbox ==
The war began with Caesar's Legion (CL) invading Valen Sandbox. GMAP-KXMI forces were relatively successful in pushing back this invasion, while discovering that CL was actually a proxy group made by Izakia (IZK). Eventually, IZK themselves would invade Valen full-force, but retreated due to overwhelming resistance from GMAP and KXMI. IZK and CL would never attempt an invasion on Valen afterward.

=== November 18, 2024 (GMAP-KXMI Victory) ===
On November 18, 2024, two members from Andosia (ANR) noticed two CL members on Valen Sandbox, who had been threatening Andosia, the Skossia (DRS), and the Islamic Army of Sandbox (IAS). ANR's leader, Rajeet also noticed and joined the server while also asking for backup. Initially, DRS leader Larry would join, and all sides would use tanks. The CL tanks had good frontal armor and camped in the corners of gm_novenka, gaining an advantage over ANR and DRS. However, Cat-Gopher Industries (C.G.I.) leader CatGopher98 eventually joined to assist ANR and DRS, using a Polizian (NPF)-made Apache helicopter to provide air support. He would communicate the CL tanks' positions to his allies, preventing any further ambushes from happening. Additionally, ANR learned to target the side armor of CL's tanks, while Larry also provided air support from his own helicopter, allowing the combined GMAP forces to control the battle. Late into the battle, NPF member Corvus joined to support GMAP, and CL immediately retreated, citing that they were outnumbered, reslting in a GMAP-aligned victory.

=== November 19, 2024 (GMAP-KXMI-NRK Victory) ===
The next day, on November 19, CL was spotted on Valen again, when the map was on gm_redrock, prompting Larry and Cat to immediately join to engage them. Multiple ANR members, Corvus, and the leader of Kalestania (NRK), Jarck, would quickly follow suit to support GMAP. The battle initially began with infantry firefights. C.G.I., DRS, and NPF forces were able to kill CL forces extremely effectively, despite CL blocking off spawn. ACF combat would also ensue, with CL revealing their aircraft. Both sides also used ground vehicles, and traded a comparable amount of kills. Players were crashing very frequently, causing the fighting to die down and the battle to conclude. Due to the even ACF losses but advantage in infantry combat, this battle is considered a GMAP-aligned victory. On the same day, CL would attempt another invasion, in which C.G.I., DRS, and NPF forces would join to defend. Similarly to the previous battle, CL infantry took heavy losses from the opposing forces, while both sides took proportional ACF losses, resulting in another win for the GMAP-aligned forces.

=== November 20, 2024 (GMAP-KXMI-NRK Victory) ===
On November 20, CL was again spotted on Valen. ANR, C.G.I., DRS, NPF, NRK, the Akalatia (ROA), and Yakugiria would engage CL while the map was on gm_bluehills_test3. GMAP-KXMI forces successfully shot down and destroyed many CL vehicles, causing CL to resort to using underhanded tactics. One tactic CL used was to stay in build mode in their aircraft until they were in the midst of diving into a ground vehicle. In one instance, a CL vertibird switched from Build to PVP mode before firing its weaponry, but this was deemed accidental on CL's end. However, CL took heavy losses and left after a map change, resulting in a GMAP-KXMI victory.

=== December 14, 2024 (IMR Victory) ===
After nearly a month of inactivity, IZK would launch a full-scale invasion of Valen on December 14, with Jarck helping them this time. ANR, C.G.I., DRS, IAS, the Black Star Task Force (BSTF), and Shadow Company (SC) joined to defend the server. However, IZK deployed illegal, min-maxed technology, which GMAP took heavy losses from. Later in the battle, YSR and The Imperium (IMR) joined to help the GMAP-aligned forces. SC and GMAP member states decided to leave to allow IMR to handle the battle, which joined independently after seeing the announcement IZK posted on their youtube channel. IMR had vastly superior technology, causing IZK to immediately retreat within 8 minutes, resulting in an IMR victory. IZK had entered Valen under the belief that the server rules were not being respected. They alleged that they were being casually broken without rule enforcement by staff. As such, IZK did not feel it was necessary to follow the rules either. Though rulesets were discussed between GMAP and IZK to avoid legality issues again (such as restricting the use of primitives), IZK and CL never stepped foot on Valen again, resulting in IMR successfully defending their territory.

Izakia had called off the invasion of Valen following IMR's intervention. During this time, Valen lacked major enforcement of its native ruleset, and IZK members had witnessed illegal technology be used on the server without staff intervention, thus prompting the assumption that using it back would not see any major retaliation due to the community presumably tolerating it. Following the end of the battle, the IZK-KATO sphere had considered the war to have ended prematurely, and this became the source of major disputes defining the beginning and end of a conflict between then Coalition and GMAP leadership.

== Forever War ==
Several isolated battles occurred on Forever War involving states not aligned with IZK nor GMAP. These states include the Independent Denersian Union and Pruvoslavia.

=== December 17, 2024 (DRS-KGP-IDU Victory) ===
On December 17, 2024, the Independent Denersian Union (IDU) and Keneria of Great Power (KGP) attacked IZK on Forever War to test out their MBTs. Initially, it was Jordi and Hologramguy. However, more friendly forces joined to assist, with DRS leader Larry helping as well. Despite IZK using their min-maxed tanks, IDU tanks were able to front-penetrate them with their EX01, T72, Olympia G2 models. The T72 in particular was extremely effective, with its AP rounds scoring many kills. IZK and IDU would also engage in dogfights in the air. Additionally, IZK was accused of breaking the agreement banning primitives. Despite this, the battle went overnight, and both sides declared victory. IDU-KGP-DRS forces maintained a higher K/D until IZK left, marking this as a victory for them.

=== December, 2024 (Coalition Victory) ===
A few days later, IDU would attack IZK on Forever War again, with the International Weapons Corporation (IW) supporting IZK. However, as soon as IDU joined the server, IZK and IW would immediately use teleporting Wire bombs on the IDU forces (citation needed). IW air power devastated IDU ground forces and pushed them underground, where they remained until they left the server.

=== Unknown Date, 2024 (UPSR Victory) ===
On an unknown date, Pruvoslavia (UPSR) and IZK would agree to fight on Forever War. UPSR had at most 3 members, while IZK had less than half-a-dozen members. UPSR would use older technology, such as their MAG-55 and Jinov tanks, to eliminate IZK tanks. However, IZK used special anti-tank missile technology, which was their most effective strategy at destroying UPSR tanks. Despite this, UPSR had a K/D advantage, with IZK only getting at most 2 kills.

''Editor Note: Why is this even here? These are fights that aren't even related to the overall conflict -Phil''

== KATO Intervention ==
Though NRK initially supported GMAP by supplying them weapons against Blackwatch Army on NPCZ, they supported IZK in their invasion attempt on Valen. After significant time had passed since the previous battle, on January 27, 2025, NRK leader Jarck would confront C.G.I. leader Cat in a group chat meant for diplomatic talks between GMAP and KATO. Jarck accused GMAP of harboring IMR, thought to be cheating in ACF at the time. The claims Jarck had made about IMR being in GMAP were categorically false, IMR not even being allied with GMAP at the time, let alone being a member state of the alliance. When Cat asked for proof of Jarck's claims, Jarck refused to provide any. Tox, the leader of Karelia (IKR) sided with Jarck, while Cerulean Taskforce (CTF) leader march remained neutral. It was later learned during KATO-IMR diplomatic talks in February 2025 that IMR's presence in the GMAP sphere was to counteract attempts by the [[Imperial Alliance]] to influence them.

== Theater of Operations: Phase 1 ==

=== January 27-28, 2025 (GMAP Victory) ===
On the night of NRK's declaration of martial law on Theater of Operations, Black Star Task Force (BSTF) members Comrade Jeskov and miragegarden were playing on Theater of Operations on the map gm_fork_train, when KATO would launch a full-scale invasion, sending IKR, IW, and NRK forces on the server. Although the KATO members initially claimed they were just testing out the guns, they engaged BSTF first. Prockles and Magi, leaders of GUBBER and the Solar Imperium (SOL), respectively, joined to help BSTF defend the server, with Cat joining a little later as well. There was much infantry combat, mostly occurring within the city. Ape would oftentimes go into the forests to snipe. There were many helicopters in the air at many points of the battle, and miragegarden used a jet. In the middle of the battle, Prockles and Magi had to leave, due to it being late at night. Near the end, Grey515, another SOL leader, joined for fun, primarily using knuckledusters. The battle lasted around three hours, with it going overnight. It ended with KATO admitting defeat and leaving. GMAP's final K/D was 517/294 (1.76), while KATO's was 411/489 (0.84).

=== January 29-30, 2025 (GMAP Victory) ===
On January 29, only Jarck joined to attack, with the map being gm_fork_train again, citing that the rest of KATO didn't want to help due to them disliking the server's perk system. 3 GMAP members from BSTF, C.G.I., and SOL, who were already on the server, engaged him back until Jarck left with a very low K/D. That night, when the map was on gm_vyten, IZK leader Ilya joined under a different name, Cuban Sandwich. Several GMAP members were already playing on the server, and didn't engage him at first to pretend that they didn't know it was him. Additionally, more GMAP members joined preemptively just in case a large-scale battle would start. Ilya engaged Cat first by firing at his helicopter with an AA tank. BSTF, C.G.I., DRS, GAGR, GUBBER, and SOL deployed forces to defend, while additionally IZK, IW, and NRK forces were sent to invade. Various forces on both sides would join throughout the battle, with both scattered infantry and vehicle-based combat occurring throughout the map. Sergei spawned in his base, dubbed the Iron Dome, where he had an AA tank on the top surrounded by a translucent fading door dome, which he could activate at will to shoot out of it. Eventually, bill was able to kill Sergei and his spawnpoint using C4. The Iron Dome was shortly deleted after. IZK would utilize several makeshift vehicles, such as a HL2 jeep with props as armor, rigged with C4s, an APC with spinning rectuangular rods in the front to kill players, and small flying vehicles that they would fly up to act as sniping platforms. Near the end of the battle, GMAP made a base out of blast doors to defend against this assault. The battle once again went overnight and lasted 5 hours, ending when IZK-KATO forces left. GMAP's K/D was 670/722 (0.93), while the IZK-KATO K/D was 640/722 (0.89). With a higher K/D, GMAP had once again successfully defended against an invasion.

=== January 31-February 1, 2025 (Disputed Outcome) ===
On the night of January 31, two NRK members, Jarck and Paloma, would join to engage several GMAP members who were already on while the map was on gm_highland. Jarck would fight around the outside of the map, while Paloma would stay near the South (front) entrance of the bunker with a minigun. The battle was initially in NRK's favor, as the GMAP members were uncoordinated, falling victim to NRK many times, primarily due to Paloma and his minigun. GMAP forces eventually pushed into the bunker, establishing a foothold in there. Paloma and Sergei would rush in, using grenade launchers loaded with sticky and incendiary grenades, as well as using gas grenades to flush out the GMAP forces. They successfully killed many of the GMAP members in the process, but they set their spawns and held their ground. GMAP started fortifying their bunker, turning it into their base. NRK started raiding the base, with more reinforcements on both sides coming to assist. BSTF, C.G.I., DRS, GUBBER, SOL, SC, and YSR were on GMAP's side, while IKR, IW, and NRK were fighting for KATO. Much fighting occurred, but KATO forces were never able to take over the base. There was a lull in combat, until KATO forces used the JMod Toolbox to break down the walls of the base while the GMAP forces were distracted. A large firefight ensued, in which GMAP flushed all KATO forces out of the base. The battle once again went overnight, lasting for four hours until all KATO forces left. The results of this battle were inconclusive. On one hand, GMAP considers this a victory, as KATO was never able to successfully raid their base. On the other hand, KATO considers this a victory, as they claimed KATO and GMAP's K/Ds to be 365/233 (1.56) and 185/444 (0.42), respectively. KATO accused GMAP of shifting the goalposts after they lost in K/D by citing the fact that their base was not successfully raided.

=== February 1, 2025 (GMAP-KXMI-SC Victory) ===
Later that day, on February 1, GMAP players (BSTF, C.G.I., DRS, and GUBBER) would be playing on gm_highland, collecting JMod resources. They had upgraded their bunker base from the prior battle and were preparing for another potential invasion. At the time, Paloma was also on the server, but did not engage. However, Jarck joined, creating a squad, and starting the battle. Heavy fighting occurred, with Paloma trying to kill people within the base, GMAP trying to defend it and the many JMod resources inside, and miragegarden going outside to kill the NRK members. Paloma made use of the new guns on the server - much more powerful than regular ones, but had to be bought through in-game currency. Omegatrion of IW would also join to help NRK, while computeration and Corvus of SC and NPF, respectively, would join to help GMAP. Most GMAP members were relegated to defending the base. Cat, miragegarden, and occasionally Corvus and computeration, would patrol outside, hunting KATO members to great success. Sergei would eventually spawn a tall, black base directly in front of GMAP's bunker. It had one-way props as windows to shoot from, but was otherwise impenetrable by small arms fire. However, miragegarden noticed that there was on entrance on the roof, which acted as a door. Using a breaching charge, Cat and miragegarden breached the base, and before they could kill Jarck, he kill binded. The roof was rigged with C4s, which Jarck triggered, destroying his own spawn and killing Cat. However, miragegarden remained alive, capturing the base. The base was then deleted immediately, with Omegatrion and Paloma shortly leaving after. Sergei spawned the exact same base again. However, it was quickly taken over by Cat and Corvus who settled down in his base. Fighting died down shortly after, with the server restarting, ending the battle. GMAP succesfully defended their base, while taking over the two KATO bases that were spawned. Additionally, GMAP's K/D was 89/105 (0.85), while KATO's was 45/71 (0.63), making the battle a GMAP victory.

=== February 2-3, 2025 (GMAP-KXMI Victory) ===
On the night of February 2, GUBBER members and an NPF member were playing on gm_highland when IZK leader Ilya joined. An IMR member was also on, but didin't initially get involved. C.G.I. and SOL leaders joined in response, with IMR, YSR, another NPF member, and an unaffiliated militant supporting them later in the battle. An additional IZK member and Omegatrion of IW would join to help Ilya. Typical fighting occurred, with people killing each other around the map. GMAP forces were consistently able to get more kills against IZK and IW forces. Around the middle of the battle, Cat was able to handcuff Ilya. He was taken to the bunker and was kept in a room, with most of the GMAP-KXMI forces guarding him. Cat jerry-rigged some fortifications, blocking off one side of the outside hallway, and making a fading door on the other side. Omegatrion would attempt to break in multiple times, but was never able to, being killed by GMAP-KXMI defenses. Eventually, Ilya was almost able to break out of the handcuffs, so he was executed, and regular fighting resumed. The battle went overnight, lasted 4 hours, and ended when IZK and IW forces left. The combined GMAP-KXMI K/D was 207/187 (1.11), and IZK and KATO's combined K/D was 63/101 (0.62), resulting in a GMAP-KXMI victory.

=== February 4, 2025 (GMAP Victory) ===
On February 4, the map was once again on gm_highland. Though Comrade Jeskov was not participating in the battle, miragegarden was still fighting IZK on behalf of BSTF. GUBBER leader Prockles joined the server, and got jumped by the six IZK-aligned members. Four of them were officially part of IZK, while the two others were in their squad and actively helped them throughout the battle. One of the two non-IZK members included Sukhoi, a former IMR member who was removed after doxxing people. KATO later disclosed to IMR that IZK had no knowledge of Sukhoi's doxxing incident, nor who he was. Despite the overwhelming odds, miragegarden and Prockles was able to effectively fight them, with Prockles assaulting their base with an RPG-7 from a hilltop. Note that one of the IZK-aligned members, crap, broke the rules three times by destroying Prockles' helicopter while it was grounded. The battle ended with prockles having a 124/86 (1.44) K/D, and the IZK-aligned members having a 98/157 (0.62) K/D, a victory for BSTF and GUBBER, despite being heavily outnumbered.

== Theater of Operations: Phase 2 ==
Following the battle on February 4, IZK-KATO forces would be completely inactive on Theater of Operations. However, the invasion would resume on March 4, with IZK invading as Caesar's Legion once again. GMAP-NPF forces would once again win the majority battles, and the IZK-KATO forces withdrew from Theater of Operations after these battles.

=== March 4-5, 2025 (GMAP-KXMI Victory) ===
On the night of March 4, while the map was on rp_canadatown, several Coalition members (CL, IKR, IW, NRK) joined the server all at once, prompting GMAP-aligned reinforcements (BSTF, C.G.I., DRS, GUBBER, NPF, SC, SOL) to join in response. Firefighting broke out, where GMAP-aligned members had a K/D advantage. Most of the Coalition members started hiding, eventually erecting a large base. GMAP-aligned forces would attempt to raid it, but initially got pushed back due to the use of prop gun turrets. They told CL to stop, as it was against the rules, but CL claimed that they had already ceased using the weapons after being ordered to. Cat, the head admin, got on much later, and was informed about the armed Wire contraptions. He found the illegal contraptions after inspecting their base, and confronted CL about it. However, they denied using Wire whatsoever. Jeskov would also join the server, helping to investigate. Jeskov and Cat took screenshots to prove that CL did in fact have armed Wire, and only then did CL start removing the contraptions. CL also had an illegal invisible fan at the top of their base to push players off the roof, which they also denied as illegal. The battle went overnight, GMAP-aligned forces made a coordinated effort to assault the base once more, killing many Coalition forces in the process. The Coalition still gave GMAP-aligned forces a hard time with helicopters. GMAP-aligned forces pushed deeper into the Coalition's base, but in the heat of battle, the Coalition forces suddenly retreated, claiming victory. However, GMAP-aligned forces had a K/D of 255/244 (1.05), while the Coalition had a K/D of 204/255 (0.8), marking this battle as a victory for GMAP and NPF.

=== March 5, 2025 (GMAP Victory) ===
Later that day on March 5, while the map was still on rp_canadatown, Jarck would join to fight several GMAP-aligned forces (C.G.I., DRS, SC, SOL, and an unaffiliated militant). Though he initially gained air superiority with helicopters, the GMAP-aligned forces fought back with their own helicopters, gaining a K/D advantage with combined arms. Jarck resorted to spawning in a large, illegal base. It consisted of a platform, with many transparent segments above, acting as numerous fading doors. Only Sergei could manually open these, as keypads were not present, which was against the rules. Jarck had also told us that he won, because we couldn't raid his base, mocking GMAP's past victory declaration citing a similar reason. Immediately after he said that, he opened the fading doors, allowing Larry and Cat to jump in. Magi blew him up with helicopter missiles, and Larry and Cat occupied his base. Jarck spawned in many more of these bases after the initial capture, this time with keypads. However, he immediately got blown up again, resulting in him despawning most of them, leaving only two, which he would never use again. After he was repeatedly killed, he left, claiming that he had won. However, it was a GMAP-aligned victory, as not only did every NRK base get occupied, but the GMAP-aligned K/D was 108/79 (1.37), while NRK's was 49/59 (0.83).

=== March 6-7, 2025 (GMAP-KXMI Victory) ===
On March 6, CL and IW raided the server while GMAP members (BSTF, DRS, GUBBER, SC, and SOL) were already on. Firefights ensued, with GMAP having a better K/D. However, the map was changed to rp_rudmerge since multiple players were having technical issues with it. Most GMAP members would use helicopters to kill Coalition forces while on rp_rudmerge. GMAP members would maintain a K/D advantage throughout the battle, even as IW and NRK joined to support the Coalition. Meanwhile rispali, who fought on behalf of NPF, joined to help GMAP. Jarck kept using the LVS Stinger against infantry, which was against the rules. Though he claimed it was an accident due to a bug, it happened extremely often, to the point where staff assumed it was not accidental. Additionally, no other players were doing this. As the battle dragged on late into the night, many GMAP members would have to sleep, since they are kids. Inversely, the Coalition would get even more reinforcements on. IW members spawned several fortifications, but GMAP never attempted to raid them. However, opposing forces would snipe and shoot missiles from within them. Fighting died down, with only Cat, miragegarden, and Larry left. Cat and Larry would stay on to not surrender, while miragegarden did the bulk of the fighting at the end. Despite facing 7 of them once, miragegarden was consistently able to kill them more, with minimal losses. The battle ended when the map changed, going overnight and lasting 6 hours in total. GMAP-aligned forces had a K/D of 531/517 (1.03), while the Coalition had a K/D of 463/540 (0.86), resulting in a decisive GMAP-aligned victory. Coalition forces remaining on the server into the late hours became a point of controversy, as GMAP accused them of dragging out fights to intentionally deprive them of sleep. The Coalition defended their actions stating that GMAP would declare victory if they left, even if they had a superior K/D, so they resolved to stay on for as long as possible.

=== Undocumented Battles (Coalition Victories) ===
There were three additional battles which occurred after March 6-7. The most significant battle was the destruction of a DRS megabase on March 9th by using Jmod nuclear weaponry. The base was destroyed, and Caesar's Legion immediately spawned their base over where it was prior to its destruction. This marked the last major battle of the Theater campaign, as GMAP forces reduced their presence on the server which resulted in only small skirmishes afterward. Up until late March, the Coalition had a minor presence on the server. Caesar's Legion began a colonization effort on the server, successfully constructing a few settlements on the server with the help of a few server natives. Ludasian and token KATO forces prioritized a nuclear program in order to maintain a state of constant readiness in the event of a GMAP counterattack. GMAP and Пацанская Империя also manufactured nukes themselves and conducted nuclear testing following the nuclear bombing of their base on March 9th. Eventually, the Coalition withdrew from the server out of self-proclaimed boredom.

== End of the War ==
After December 14, 2025, the Coalition stopped trying to contest Valen Sandbox. Additionally, after the previous battles, they would stop contesting Theater of Operations as well. Despite this the Coalition declared victory over GMAP on the basis that GMAP had ceased operations on Theater for two weeks straight. However, GMAP-KXMI forces won a significant majority of battles while maintaining a superior K/D, as well as maintaining control over contested territory. The Coalition's victory claim comes from differing definitions of the overall conflict, with the Coalition considering the Valen Invasion on December 14 to be a separate conflict of its own. A majority of Coalition members considered the battles on Theater of Operations to be a separate conflict as well, despite the majority of battles occurring on there. They alleged that GMAP withdrew from the server, despite GMAP and its allies still playing on it, though in minimal numbers. They used this as a justification to declare victory, and withdrew, claiming that they were bored. Following this, the Coalition turned the bulk of its efforts towards testing ACF crew and preparing for the eventual [[The Great Gunny War|Great Gunny War]], which they launched on June 28th.
