| Baton rouge union | East down and bound ⅚ Having taken control over the Keesler AFB. The only remaining installation in the way of the union moving align the I-10 was the Pascagoula. Bordering along the Mississippi and Alabama border, its the last town between the Union advance and the NAR city of Mobile. An important port along Mississippi's coast, it holds one of the larger shipyards that align the gulf coast. Ingalls shipbuilding had been important for the production of naval destroyers for the pre-war american navy. Along with holding a naval base set on a lone island to the south. Though long abandoned by any intelligent life. The town was still filled with a large amount of ghoul residence that had gone feral from radiation.Along with the ghouls in the direct front of the advance. Reports of a small raider band to the north hanging around Lucedale had been worrying about any further use of the territory. Leaving the force to send a detachment north with air support in the form of 2 Dauntless. The commanders had little planned on how to take the city without damaging the facilities too heavily. Along with any of the resources that could be found within. So after some debate between officers. The main force would set up on the outskirts of the ruins, while the tanks would move in to draw out the ghouls and be protected. Ardentus and The virginian trade union | |
| Baton rouge union | East down and Bound 6/6 Having set up to align the highway, the infantry followed a good distance behind the advancing tanks. With their noise waking everything but the dead. Dragging any of the ghouls that could move out into the streets. Though they couldn't get within the tanks, the fire from the infantry picking off the ghouls that managed to climb on was a bit unnerving to their crews. Though the infantry still had to clear the buildings. The Naval Complex led to automated defences that were a bit more difficult to deal with. Though the ghoul had fought with the automated security the turrets still remained. The force moving to Lucedale had little issue on the other hand dealing with the raiders. As the band was in two camps. Split between the town's highschool and the county Jail. The heavy bomb loads of the Dauntless aircraft were decimating to the small camps. As the infantry on the ground spotted targets. The large 250 and 100 lbs bombs maid massive holes in the jail. While the highschool collapsed into itself after a benign hit in the center. Finally falling from the damage of time and high explosives. The resulting mop up was just putting down any that crawled out of the highschool and taking care of the survivors in the jail. Keeping a future thorn in the Unions supply lines out of the way. Pascagoula annexed, 309 pop gained, 172 men lost Ardentus and The virginian trade union | |
 The Commonwealth Minutemen of Ardentus | Gates of the New World In the Empire State Building, a simple radio had been placed to act as a short ranged transmitter to the local forces. It began to receive the transmission. More than a little surprised, the operators used the short ranged broadcasting systems that had been set up began to relay the information back to Boston, informing President Winters. In the meantime, a transmission was sent back: Dock at the port. The local garrison was dispatched to make sure that if these were hostiles, they wouldn't live long. | |

| Smartiepantses | The Sergeant detective looked at the LT, speaking to him now. "Now, about your charges. You are under arrest for aiding a criminal. You'll be jailed in the Evanston Police Department until your court trial in Ogle County." He began reading the mercenaries their rights to a fair trial via an attorney. The Detective called over a group of Constable field officers to escort the men to Evanston city while another officer contacted the radio tower in Evanston about the incoming mercenaries and need of a police escort dispatch called up Evanston Police Department to escort them to the cell in the department. | |
| Smartiepantses | Family Is Everything After acknowledging the criminal activity, Evanston dispatch was notified about the criminal activity originating from Detroit, aka 'Motor City'. The Sheriff Sergeant and Bureau Captain from Evanston discussed and agreed upon the North, South, and West regions of Chicago to establish checkpoints amongst every main street, highway, interstate, or route entering the region to extinguish the rampant crime lately. Companies of Sheriffs and Bureau Officers were dispatched to Chicago to establish checkpoints on the entrances. Checkpoints were established to check refugees, citizens, and others for illegal contraband and distinguish gangs and criminals from innocent citizens. While checkpoints were being developed sheriffs and officers breached Chicago with a warrant approved by the Evanston Bureau Regional Commander that was approved by the Ogle County Justice Department to raid Chicago for internal corruption, organized crime, and crimes against humanity. As patrolmen flooded into Cook County, the mafia’s goons were forced to submit as police officers flooded the city. Mobsters tried defending Chicago with their automatic weaponry but were overrun by the mass of police officers, slammed to the ground, and subdued while others were shot or beaten. Police officers breached skyscrapers, large buildings, and urban locations, in an attempt to distinguish the major mafia threat in Illinois. Police were met with mobsters with explosions and automatic submachine gunfire as they progressed through each building. In the large pre-war technology skyscraper, Xap-Tech Inc, a triggerman shot an RPG into a weak portion of the skyscraper from the interior, causing a gap in the building. Citizens watched in horror as loud scraping and creaking emitted from the slanting 25-floor skyscraper as it began to collapse. The RPG blast sacrificed multiple lives, some even being innocent. The incident caused chaos in Chicago as people panicked and gunfire ran rampant through the streets of the city. Police held down the city entrances across the river were developed into checkpoints. Mobsters were taken into custody or shot on-sight. Surrendering gangsters were escorted out of the city and fleeing citizens were taken into safety while rescue groups of field officers were dispatched to the Xap-Tec collapse to rescue any survivors and few were dragged from the scrap and survived the incident. The officers and sheriffs that were found deceased were gathered, identified if possible, and the next of kin were notified of their death. Most met their fates, dying from the building collapse while others were crushed by the demolition. Chicago after a few days were maintained by the sheriffs and officers of the Bureau. The case concerning the Chem lab explosion and homicide was put to rest, but still active to detectives, sheriffs, officers, and deputies to pursue.

 The Sovereign Corporation of Ivan Industries | Turf Wars, pt. 3 Of course, the Arch-Diocese couldn't do anything about the Dons. They observed with no small amount of frustration the team from the Meridian Cartel as they waltzed right into Whiting and set up shop in the ruins of the Horseshoe Hammond casino, along the coastline. The Cartel began renovating the old casino into a new base of operations, intending to establish not only casino operations, but chems and alcohol. They assured the Archbishop that it was primarily for sale in Chicago, across the border - but the Archbishop wasn't convinced. While, of course, the cartel didn't plan on not selling to any Ecclesiastical subjects if they came by, they were, in fact, telling the truth when they said it was primarily for sale across the border. El Moe's elimination and the subsequent takedown of his operation by the Bureau had left a hole in the local chem scene that the Dons were just itching to fill. It would take some time to get the operation up and running, of course, but they figured, with the Bureau sitting on the local crime syndicates, they had plenty of time, and once the heat died down...

| New-confederate states | Dixie Land While the NCS troops fought hard to expand his territories, its workers (and slaves) worked hard to increase its industrial capabilities: various NCS-controlled scavenger groups were given better equipment and new memebers, to increase the quantity of utilizable scrap that arrived into the NCS foundries, and new ones were being set up.

| New-confederate states | Kentucky Fried Radroach When the news of the outcome of the Battle of Fort Knox reached President Lee II, his fury was irrepressible: he demanded immediately the heads of the shameful officers that lead to the defeat, and the total destruction of this savages that dared standing in their path. To ensure both his demands to be satisfied, he decided to have the 1st, which was already moving on to reinforce the 4th, to be led by Colonel Terry. The choice appeared unlogical to many, since the Colonel was in command of the Counter-Insurgence Corps, so he was expert in dealing with plotters (real or alleged) inside the NCS, but had little battle experience apart from his previous assignment as a sergeant. But the President knew his ruthlessness was needed to get things done this time. Pop Loss/Gain +363 Many of the soldiers who didn't have the guts to perform such atrocities managed to get assigned to funding research documentation inside the Western Kentucky University.

| The Raveners of Gravelton | Official Construction Edict by the Presidium of the Secretariat in Regards to the Prefectures of Gravelton and McClellanville In a new edict issued by the Infrastructural Bureau of the Secretariat of the United Prefectural Directorate on behalf of the Director and enacted by the Presidium, it has ordered that the following Prefectures are to begin immediate construction of medium-class shipyards. These Prefectures were chosen for their geographic positioning and the socioeconomic implications which are sure to arise from the creation of these shipyards. Gravelton, as it is both close to the primary source of coal in the United Prefectural Directorate and the sole refinery capable of producing ethanol and liquified coal, and McClellanville, as it is close to the sole source of coal in the District despite its current underdevelopment and its already developed resource gathering and management system. It is the hope of the Presidium, specifically the Strategic Command and the Infrastructural Bureau, that these will produce immensely valuable and productive warships and resource barges. [Constructing: 2 Medium Shipyards, Completed 4/11/21] | |
| The virginian trade union | Jeremiah looked at the Emissary, raising an eyebrow at the question, "Slavery? Oh no, Abraham made sure to stomp out any talk about that." Jeremiah told, the Trade Union founder was quite against the practice of slavery, "Now, we do have prisoners do hard labor, like mining coal and such, but the practice of slavery has been outlawed ever since the Trade Union's founding. Why do you ask?" Jeremiah asked, curious about the seemingly random question. | |
| Smartiepantses | The Bureau deployed some Riot Squadrons from McHenry County to assist the civil unrest in Chicago, the travel would take upon weeks to reach southern Cook County. While Chicago had just suffered a big demolition, Bureau forces were needed to close off the crash and scouring it for useful scrap, technologies, and materials while attempting to find corpses that are still stuck in the ruins of the skyscraper. Along the southern Cook County borders, caravans, citizens, and irradiated citizens were pat down, identified, and logged into the county's population. Patrols teams were frequent, with ambitious officers, sheriffs, and agents pursuing the open case concerning the Chem racket and the gang warfare in southern Cook County. | |
| Revolutionary middleland | Famine Feud The last of free Oklahoma had been put in a dire position. It had been surrounded on all sides by Revolutionary Middleland's armed forces. With no trade going in or out and the rather heavy winter- it spelled disaster for the remnants of the Choctaw and Seminole. Food had been scarce already in the post-apocalypse, but this restriction of trade threw them back a mile. Famine struck the remnants with an unforgiving tyranny, and many dropped dead. The survivors lived a bitter life of subsistence farming and material shortage. Lop Bop and Middle's high command wanted to stamp them out before they lost all of the exploitable manpower. The leaders of Revolutionary Middleland knew that the survivors would be in a weakened state - but since they had been doing the encirclement they didn't expect to just go and march in unopposed. Their battle plan would be drawn up in the Middle bunker, a map overlooking the last patch of independence in the state. The eyes of the red-scarved commissars narrowed at the sight of the enemy's unit composition. Over the past several months, recon efforts have determined the fighting force to be poorly equipped and small- possibly in the realm of five hundred to nine hundred militants. The question then became how many soldiers Revolutionary Middleland had to spare to put down this starving dog of a country. To deal with this point of contention, 600 soldiers would be diverted from the Nebraskan Front, and 1,000 from the Legion Border. This would constitute an improvised army of one thousand and six hundred of Middle's soldiers. In an unusually new manner of tactics, the army was broken down into eight companies of 200. Like the edges of a spider web, they positioned themselves around chokepoints on the border. In one mighty sweeping motion, the dried fields were burrowed into by the companies, venturing through dead rural regions. The population hotspot would be around the Lake Eufaula. There would be no need for heavy artillery this time around. The small towns around the lake would be sacked- one by one. The southernmost choke point would be located at McAlester. The defenders would be scattered by Middle's cavalry, bayonets clinking and clashing until the town was cleared from malnutrition smitten residents. From the north, Checotaw would be encircled and snuffed out by sheer brutality. The divisions would link up and constitute regiments of 800, tasked with following the shoreline north and south. Coast town by coast town would collapse, fleeing residents being dragged down by gators in the banks of the lake. The forces of Middle would march straight into Longtown, and coerced a surrender from the residents. A few blueprints were recovered. A small factory in a half-damaged state was recovered. Middle would gain 1,011 people. | |

| Revolutionary middleland | Leaps And Bounds Production Post 1 The pipe guns were getting to be a nuisance to Revolutionary Middleland's progress as an army. To better increase the quality of gear, orders directly from Middle- the organization- were given to shift this past few months' resources into pure weapons production. The quality of an army would inevitably make the difference in the long run. It would be an investment that would pay for itself in the harsh and cold currency of dead enemies. The technical middlemen in the factories would raise no contest with these demands, as Middle would offer incentives to high-performing sectors. Raw production would be the objective. In a hallmark achievement, red flags were waved in revolutionary celebration. 100 steel assets would be made to produce 24500 m16 rifles, finally making the pipe guns obsolete. The pipe guns would be moved to a reserve status just in case soldier deferment became a problem again. For the first time in history, Middle's industrial capacity would be used up (for 1.5 RL days to correctly use 100 steel) in order to achieve this feat. Middle's production had broken a lot of turning points- the production of military grade weapons, the methane-propane conversion, the first planes in the sky, and the first vehicle on the ground- but to have each factory in Revolutionary Middleland activated in a task was a damningly ominous warning that the Middle War Machine had been born- and the rest of the plains were in its sights. | |

| The Raveners of Gravelton | Emissary Jefferson sighed and pointed westward, stating plainly, "Beyond our borders lies a power equal to our own, who see nothing wrong with enslaving those of the wasteland who are not them. The only reason they did not attempt to do the same to us is because of the balance of power. Rising powers weaker than your own, such as yourselves, would be annexed outright and subject to their 'reformative measures'. They style themselves as a successor to the Confederacy of the old world's American Civil War and, it is believed, that they will hold claim to everything which once laid within it. It goes without saying, but Virginia and your people will be nothing but theirs to reclaim in their eyes." | |
| The virginian trade union | Jeremiah let out a sigh, it appears this Directorate wasn't the only thing the Trade Union had to worry about, "Then I suppose it would be best to shore up our defenses however possible, i'll have to bring this to Harrison's attention immediately-" Jeremiah paused as he let out a sigh, he had a feeling these 'Confederate' fellas were going to be a massive headache in the future, "You said they didn't try anything against you correct? Then perhaps we can come to some sort of agreement, you helping us in keeping those Confederate fellows away from us and we, in turn, do something for you." Jeremiah proposed, having the Directorate as an ally would definitely be better than facing those Confederates on their own. | |
 The Constellation Society of Retralik | Rio Balsas Loyalist forces have been hammering at the MRA Constellation Armies for some time now, with their cannons and machine gun fire, trench warfare in between two cities. Both sides would amass a raiding party, sneak through no man’s land under fire, then hop into the enemy earthworks and flush them out one by one. A slow and arduous task, hundreds have been lost in attacks that barely moved the line. It is hoped that the Coastal Armies will strike them from the behind, relieving the pressure and crushing the enemy underneath two sides. Loyalists have not been foolish however. They know the importance of the Balsas. Rumors said the top commander of the river Army was assassinated by his superiors for having failed to defend Lázaro Cárdenas. Now his second in command is the head. Even with internal instability, the sentries along the waters mostly operate off the grid and on their own judgement. They are well positioned and armed. Dark falls. An eerie silence. Only the slashing sounds of moving water. The men on the raft huddle together in the tiny space. They are completely unprotected, and are betting that the dark will let them pass through the Loyalist sentry. Despite this, they are not fools, with weapons hot just in case. The second-to-head loads a tracer round clip and fires into the sky, indicating that they are to hit ground and march from this point on. With the choke point broken, the army was quickly able to overrun the sentry. Reminiscent of the “Pin strategy” first implemented back in the Durango highlands, these outposts are proving a pain to remove, one by one. Lacking heavy weapons, the only way to dislodge them is via treacherous frontal assault. Platoons rushed forward under fire, hoping that a few of them would get in. Some voices say “just starve them”, but keeping troops to effectively surround the perimeter would cut into numbers for the final attack, which High Command cannot allow. Thus, men of the MRA constantly butt heads with these hardened pins every step of the way along the Balsas, arguably having an even rougher time than their inland counterparts bogged down by trench warfare. +1,600 people living along the river Ivan Industries, Ardentus, and The virginian trade union | |
| The Sovereign Corporation of Ivan Industries | Fruits of Colonization, pt. 2 Here in the winter, as before, the Amish proved to be very helpful, providing wool from the flocks of sheep they also tended alongside the brahmin and horses. The demand for wool put the focus back on their sheep, and the Amish realized they had yet to build any lambing jugs for the next season. So, despite the wintry cold, they began gathering the materials to build some inside the barns they had already put up last season. They enlisted the help of their neighbors, many of whom were interested in taking up the sheep-herding business (as sheep were a lower-maintenance animal to raise than even the wasteland-suited brahmin).

| New-confederate states | Kentucky Fried Radroach In the former city of Elizabethtown, the 1st Infantry met the majority of what remained of the 4th and the Montgomery Auxiliaries: they had entrenched themselves in the ruins, clearly terrified of being counter-attacked by the Pests after their defeat at Fort Knox.

 The Kingdom of Lengo | Dean Kaibab awoke with a heavy headache, one he had not felt since his days in the Legion. He was lying in bed in what appeared to be a old shack held together well since 2077. He realized it was daylight as he saw the sharp rays of light peaking through the gaps in the bordered up windows. An elderly man was sat to the side of him, assembling a rifle with a level of precision that Dean had not seen in anyone other then a Veteran Legionnaire or an NCR Ranger. The Man, recognising that Dean had awoken, put the assembled rifle as side and tended to his patient. Man: Hey, you're finally awake. I was beginning to wonder whether I should start digging a hole out back or not. Dean: Where... where am I? What happened? Dean focused his eyes on the man alone now, he could see blue jumpsuit hidden under armor and ammo bags. Ever pocket on this man's jacket was filled with something useful. Food, water, bullets, holotapes... Man: It seems like wandering through the mountains of northern California with little supplies left finally came to bite you. I found you lying between the rocks, barely alive. I would have thought you Followers would be smarter then that, considering that's basically what you're known for being: Smart. Dean: How do you kno- Man: I recognize the lab coat. I appreciate the effort your people have made in having you wearing one of the older lab coats but I am partially insulted by the implication that I don't know what you guys look like nowadays. I d get around more often then you might believe, not as much I did 30 years ago but still enough to recognise the changing world around me. Dean was hardly listening, his head was killing him. The Man must have recognized this as Dean found a bottle of water being offered to him. It was purified, obviously bought from the nearest town. Dean: Who are you? Man: First of all, who are you? What do the Followers want with me? Dean sighed, this was just delaying precious time. If he missed anything from the Legion, it was how much faster these operation thended to be due the more... direct approach. Dean: No, not you! I'm looking for the Chosen One. Man: Ha! I thought you were! Dean: You know him? Chosen One: Well of course I know him. He's me. Dean: YOUR the Chosen One? Chosen One: Well don't sound too surprised. I happen to think I've aged beautifully. Ha ha. Dean: It's not that, I was just under the impression that you were a woman. Chosen One: Oh... well, my legacy really has been neglected... Dean: Your what? Chosen One: My legacy! My god, why do you think the Followers sent you after me? I don't think their operations include the harassment of old folk so why did they send you? Dean couldn't help getting defensive, he had travelled miles to find one man, for reasons he didn't at all understand, only to have intelligence insulted. He sat up in the bed, intending to get out. Dean: I was told to find the Chosen One. I assume that is you, don't know why you've been chosen or even what for. Ok?! The Chosen One looked quite insulted by this, and took to the offensive. Chosen One: Listen kid, I'm not a chosen one, I'm THE Chosen One. Not to sell a brahmin as a plasma rifle but I happen to be a bit of a big deal. So much so, for the last 15 years the NCR government have believed my popularity is so much of a threat I've been discreetly written out of NCR history, which would explain your ignorance I suppose!! Dean: I only don't know who you are because.. I'm not an NCR citizen, in fact, till recently I was quite the opposite! The Chosen One calmed down, processing the words he'd just heard. Dean gulped, this was a mistake. He told the apparent 'Hero of the NCR' that he was till recently the very thing the NCR hated the most. If the government had been treating him so poorly becuase of his past, he dreaded to think what the Chosen One would do. Chosen One: Well, I see. In that case, I'm sorry. I'm sure you've had enough of being alienated for ignorance you can't help. Dean was confused. The Chosen One had completely changed his tone. Not even Thomas changed this quickly after an argument. The Chosen One a right now reminded him of the very vague memory of his tribe's elder. Dean couldn't remember much. He was a very young boy when the Elder was killed by the Legion but he remembered the feeling around the Elder, the warmth, the wisdom, such understanding.... Dean: But why? I was the enemy... I helped to try destroy this country you've served! I killed so man- The Chosen One: Kid, I've travelled New California for over 40 years. I've met many men and women who concluded their actions were wrong and made the effort to change themselves. That takes a strong will and if the Followers trust you, then you've proven to have that will. You've reclaimed your destiny, the tribe that you belonged to, although taken away, lives on in you. I know something of that feeling. Dean: What do you mean? The Chosen One, smiled warmly. "Well kid, let's just say I know how it feels to have your tribe robbed from you by madmen..."
