Foxhole is a massive war game, a sprawling simulation of a World War II-like conflict. Its scale and dedication have inspired truly intense tales of intrigue like EVE; in late 2018, the Foxhole community was rocked by a scandalous event commonly referred to as the "Jade Cove Incident" or "Jade Cove Missile Crisis." It was a rocky time." In the "Jade Cove Missile Crisis," one side was plunged into civil strife over a tactical decision to obliterate one of its own towns in order to avoid giving it to the enemy during the game's longest and most grueling war to date.
Foxhole youtuber Gil Brian Perez has put together an excellent three-part documentary with real voices and testimonies from those involved. If you like the story of how the game is played, this is a must watch. The film also carefully depicts the battle and the attacking and counterattacking units with military history-style maps.
There are a few technical terms you will want to know as you begin this game. When players talk about "shirts," they are effectively referring to tickets that allow soldiers to spawn and respawn; a day in Foxhole is one hour in the real world, with 30 minutes each for day and night. Deadland is the center of the map, Endless Shore is the east, and Faranac is the west.Foxhole is a perpetual war game, with almost everything produced and used by the human players. The resource-gathering player must take the time to gather materials, refine them, place them in factories, and the logistics player must drive or boat them to the front lines before they can spawn. This is the first video of the documentary and here is the link to the entire playlist. Here's the first video:
Foxhole is available in Early Access on Steam and has been in persistent development since 2017. The map in the documentary actually has little in common with the current game's world map. It has recently undergone significant changes with the addition of new defensive structures and logistics tools.
