BF2142's Timeline of Events
A work in progress! I'll add more maps and summarized content this week, but for now... let me know what you think. It's just for fun.

2108
An ice age begins as ice moves south towards the equator and causes evacuations on a scale of billions of people.
30 years later... after a "cold war" that lasted longer and intensified more than the one in the 1960s.... negotiations began to freeze along with the planet. Countries became hostile and prepared for retaining the remaining unfrozen Earth.
Early 2138
- The six factions of the world raised arms and fortified for battle over the remaining land and resources.
- As tensions rise, the European Federation sends military resources to the Mediterranean to bolster the Union of African States' (UAS) defenses. The Pan-Asian Coalition (PAC) is expected to make its first offensive in that area for its rich, fertile soil.
- A foray by two PAC battalions into Egypt seemed to confirm their suspicions, but the attacks turned out to be decoys meant to distract the world from the PAC's primary objective: to destroy the military might of the EU's premiere units still located in Europe. The war was just beginning.
October 2139
- Coordinated PAC invasions from the Persian Gulf to the Baltic Sea marked the start of the "Cold War."
November 2139
- Operation Canute: 3 battalions led by General Arkadi Petrov invaded Minsk in northern Europe. The EU's Krieg Panzer 2nd Regiment fiercely defended the city for over four months into 2140 until the PAC's elite Central Command Group broke through the southern flank and forced the EU to withdraw.
- This battle featured the first frontline use of the militarized Titan.
February 2140
- PAC command divisions swept through Serbia and trapped the EU 9th Armored Corps in the heart of Belgrade. A massive ice wall blocked its retreat. Inspired by General Amil Nikoli, the EU staged a tenacious resistance.
March 2140
- The PAC's Northern Command group arrived through recently acquired Bulgaria. Using a swift, V-shaped formation of the T-39 Bogatyr battle walkers, the bolstered PAC forces burst through the EU's southern flank (again - hmmm, a pattern?) and forced their surrender.
- The PAC now has control of Eastern Europe. It turns its sights to the central command in Berlin to permanently destabilize EU forces.
July 10, 2140
- Operation Thunder: 15 squadrons of PAC gunships wrestled control of the skies over eastern Germany. Victorious, the PAC Titans airdropped entire regiments of the Northern Command Group behind the EU's Brandenburg Line.
- The EU's Expeditionary Force quickly capitulated on Berlin, but the PAC had already cleared a path to the city.
August 15, 2140
- The PAC waged an all-out offensive on the city. Many on both sides died in the costliest of the war so far.
- After two months of fighting, Berlin finally fell to the PAC.
- The remaining EU forces retreated to France where they would make a last stand before evacuating to Africa.
End of 2140
- PAC occupied most of Europe but not Mediterranean areas. Northern France was their next target, as it represented a key strategic passage, but a narrow one, given the wall of ice
that had advanced all the way to the 49th parallel.
- The EU held the position at Verdun (in southern France, near Cerbere Landing) for almost month using T-8 Tiger tanks against the newer Type 21 Nekomata hover tanks.
(There seems to be a gap here, I can't find any events in 2141. Can you?)
Early 2142
- Cerbere Landing was the last EU stronghold on the European continent. Tasked with seizing Tunis Harbor, PAC General Yuri Vladomirovic used commando unites equipped with IT-33 Optical Camouflage to infiltrate the city.
- These commandos sabotaged defenses and allowed the general to land his forces in the main (Tunis) harbor. They were faced with the Hell Brigade, the EU's top infantry unit.
- The ensuing violence made Cerbere Landing the location of the most fierce and costly battle of the Cold War.
February 2142
- The EU forms "The Mediterranean Wall," a line of defenses along the North African coast.
- The PAC is drawing up plans under codenames Kupalo, Dazhbog, and Perun to preoccupy and divide the EU forces in preparation for the PAC's primary mission, Operation Motherland: a comprehensive, multi-pronged assault on the entire African continent.
April 10, 2142
- The PAC attacks Camp Gibraltar in southern Spain [i](um, supposedly. anybody know for sure where the CAMP is?). The EU's 4th and 5th Armored Battalions were tasked with defending it. The PAC troops fought conservatively since it was a diversionary tactic only. The EU commander relied on snipers to hold key positions in attempt to occupy the PAC forces as long as possible, while the Mediterranean Wall was being finalized.

Did you find all the info in BF2142 itself?
But yeah, I see your point. I'll uh, redo that. Didn't know that. But unfortunately something came up and I'll see if I have time this week to update it.
