Hell on Wheels, better known as HoW, has been the most popular program that the eUSA has run. It has been incredibly effective at supplying soldiers, and increasing our damage output on the battlefield.
The HoW team has been analyzing how to keep this program cost-effective while maintaining its efficient and effective application of damage. In doing so, we've decided to make a few slight adjustments. They are as follows:
1) All participants will be required to supply their own food. This should be very easy as food can be acquired relatively cheaply in a number of different venues--locally on the product market or #strade. It is assumed that salaries can cover this expense.
2) In most cases, the Department of Defense will only supply participants with Q1 tickets for battles. If you feel you want to get those extra hits, one can trade up at their own expense.
3) The Department of Defense will no longer require extraneous Q2 equipment acquired from drops to be donated to the DoD. This does mean, however, that Q1 equipment drops are still a required donation. Failure to comply with this will result in exclusion from the program, but so far everyone has been very good about following this stipulation.
If you're feeling particularly patriotic and generous, you can even donate better equipment drops, or you can donate drops you got from battles that we weren't running HoW for.
Let me be clear about the intended purpose of this program and these new rules and procedures. Hell on Wheels is intended to enhance the damage output of the eUSA in important battles, not merely as an extra incentive to fight.
Lastly, the total participation in the Hell on Wheels program has been sparse at times and I believe some don't know where to go to get involved. It is very simple. Join #sim-us.strikes on IRC - there will always be someone around to tell you where to fight and when. We often have coordinated strikes - join the channel to be involved, your damage is more effective when it's combined with many others' damage. And when Hell on Wheels is open (for those with 500+ strength), that channel is where supplies will be given out. Stay informed for your benefit and the benefit of the United States.
Signing off,

About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
