BREAKING WAR NEWS ALLIES LAND IN LEGOLAND! Stormchickens and GeForceâ„¢ wade ashore with minimal casualties.
TRAFALGAR - Despite a string of misfortune in the naval battles in the west, the GS-GoW Alliance landed the most formidable military force ever seen in war, composing over 250 units spread over 3 beaches near Quanto Mechanico, Abilene and Jackson. This was landed by a massive armada which included destroyers and aircraft carriers in support while hundreds of bombers flew overhead making bombing attacks on Legoland and Castlea. "It is the beginning of the end for Lego's schemes for peaceful world domination. If they want to win, they'll have to bleed first". These were the words of GoW Emperor Master Zen before being told that, in fact, Legomen are made of plastic and do not bleed upon which he responded "Ok, burn, melt, whatever".
In the east, GoW forces landed as part of GeForceâ„¢, acronym for "GoW Expeditionary Force". Commanding this force is Field Marshall N. Vidia who gave us an exclusive interview: "Our force is composed of one-hundred twenty-eight military brigades, or 128 MB for short. They are equipped with the latest in anti-aliasing and vertex-shading camouflage and have been overclocked with training which means they are fit for battle. Our vehicles are manned by unified drivers to supply the troops efficiently".
Facing GeForce's 100+ troops was a squad of horsemen. "We kinda looked at them funny" said Cpl. Punishment who landed in the first waves with the 9th Infantry. "They just stood there while we dug in". On both sides, troops are prepared for what likely will be a massive Lego counterattack. To that, DeepO, leader of the Gathering Storm remarked "Bring it on".

Legopolis bombed! Manuals long-forgotten will make rebuilding a pain in the ass
LEGOPOLIS - The Capital of Lego, known for its towering Lego blocks which seem to reach the sky, was bombed for the first time by the Glory of Air Force which pounded it relentlessly and caused significant material damage though civilian casualties were largely avoided. The stock exchange, university, granary and temple (one of the oldest in the world) were leveled, as was the renowned Pirate Legoâ„¢ factory. "This is a war crime" said Lego leader Vondrack, "Pirate Legoâ„¢ was going to be one of the hottest toys this christmas, so many children will not have anything to play with". The official response from Imperial Palace was "Nah na-na na na hah ha-ha ha ha "
Exclusive pictures of the situation in Legoland after the bombing were obtained by the Glory of Newsâ„¢

The situation was worsened when news that the manuals of the destroyed buildings had long been forgotten and lost. "This is going to be rather hard" explained Lego minister ZargonX. "Last time I remember building those was after my dog came running into my room and crashed them all... that was quite some time ago."

First rift in Alliance over naming controversy GoW and GS Diplomats clash
EYE OF THE STORM - The first rift in the GS-GoW Alliance was made public yesterday over the controversial issue of naming the two nations together. A special GoW diplomatic mission was sent to Eye of the Storm to discuss the issue and press forward with the name of "The Glory of Storms". This, however, met a cool reception with the Stormian government which insisted on "The Gathering War" instead. "It is clear to us that the 'Glory' aspect presents a far more formidable and imposing image of massive military force" said GoW diplomat Ambassador Aisik-Joo. "On the other hand, the 'Gathering War'? What is this, a twisted weather report?"
When interviewed, Stormian Ambassador Cort Haus explained the Stormian perspective. "We are not warmongers, there is nothing glorious about war: people and chickens die. Our proposal refers to the inminence of this unfortunate conflict without exhalting the virtues of killing". In a related issue the proposal for naming a single-Commander-in-Chief was floated around during the meeting but was quickly written off as the only options were "DeepZ" and "Master O", both of which were met by a round of laughter.

The greatest delight for man is to inflict defeat on his enemies, to drive them before him, to see those dear to them with their faces bathed in tears, to bestride their horses, to crush in his arms their daughters and wives.
