The Pentagon, 0600 Zulu

"Do we have confirmation?"

"Yes sir. Pearl Harbor is gone, and we've lost all contact with Camp H.M. Smith. All USPACOM forces are presumed destroyed."

"Damn. What's the status of our ground troops?"

"Not good, sir. We're projecting a major invasion from the west, east, and south and our defenses currently look like this:"



"Our west coast observers have spotted PLA and KPA landers, as well as some JSDF transports taken after the Home Islands fell. ETA to our coast is 0900 Zulu."

"Send out a general alert. All forces are to be at combat readiness yesterday, do you understand me?"

"Yes sir!"

Western Invasion is underway!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Skiing tomorrow, and it's late tonight, so I wont be able to put up the CAF turn tomorrow. In the .vlog, the soldier shown in the invasion zone outside of Los Angeles is actually in the city. That was a mistake on my part, seeing as how he was disengaged. If anyone actually picks up a turn Saturday morning before I get to it, move him out of the city before you do anything else.

The LA troops retreated, sweet! They'll probably end up trapped in San Diego, but they'll probably take a few of you bastards with 'em.

Actually I do get to chose the retreat destination and I chose the mountains, not San Diego.  So whoever plays Southern Invader should not count those troops among the defenders of San Diego.

I can take the Southern turn today, if no-one else wants to. Orb, you still around?

Yeah.  I don't think I can commit to this. I'll be watching though.  :P

If nobody joins tomorrow I'll be free then to take command of the Euro-Socialist-Pact, Just looking over the state of Americas nuclear facilities it seems that the east is where most of the power plants are located.  Whilst half of missile sites are hidden in the rockies, where I imagine the US's last stand will be? The Mexicans will get valuable nuclear weapon production facilities near new mexico. What is the significance of the Greyed out mountainous regions? I'll need to go over the rules tomorrow,.

Missile sites have no significance, but you're sort of right about the Rockies. If the U.S. player does it right, they become a logistical hell for the Western invader, who has to worry about Partisans and other troops cutting his supply lines. Sorry for slowness, I finished the turn and screencapped it. I just need to get the write-up finished, and that'll be up today.

Yeah, I was roleplaying the missile stuff, Surely the Soviet Eurnion (get it?) would be concerned about such things.

Yeah, especially since if they win the global anti-missile lasers will be under their control.
