CAF Gears up for WAR!!
« on: April 02, 2007, 12:59:12 PM »
Today, President Colt has ordered the CAF to increase its ready state from Defcon Three to Two as a result of Imperial warmongering and Propaganda.

  "Their actions in the Fight against the Darkness speak as loud as their words.  To deny the exsistance of the Darkness is tantamount to Allying with it.... and We cannot, will not, let our guard down where they are concerned in that fight.

  if they wish a fight defending their Masters, we are more than willing to give them one."

  As a result of my descision, all CAF leaves have been cancelled and Imperial citizen are being asked to leave Capitol Territories.  Effort is being made to ensure to their safety as our fight is not against the Imperial populace but its government and High Command.



  Yep, this is an open challenge to Imperial players... but its an excuse to get some fluffy-fighting in.  Also means I need to pull out my Capitol and start touching them up for renewed use. :)

  Challenges will be dealt with at the Throw-Down or at Origins.   ;D

Well...

  If I recall correctly, I can do up to 1500 of Navy with ease- perhaps as high as 2k....  Ground is another matter as I never really bulked up things other than Infantry and a lone squad of Rangers.  But that will change- I've a few rangers floating around to paint for that second unit.

  SO almost any value is cool up to those numbers.  If it's to be done at Origins, I'm going to say a 1k max- this way the three to four armies I intend on taking with me to that will fit in one army case, maybe two.

"Kommandant, might I suggest we take this with the proverbial grain of salt.  We all know that the Free Marketeers value "freedom," even at the expense of infiltration from the Legion.  Were they to, actually, enforce upon their citzenry what they preach in their propaganda, they may yet be able to hold a candle against the darkness without the use of a Gehenna Puker."

"While you are correct, although overly cynical, the capitolisten are a valuable source of info.  Their "freedoms" allow much secret information to seep through to our contacts.  I wouldn't have it any other way.  Besides, the Cardinal knows who to call upon when the job is only able to be handled properly.  Do not let their propoganda entice you to be as lax in your minding of sensitive materials as they.  Relay this communique to the Duke, along with our sitrep.  Further, ensure awareness is raised along common borders.  Ruse or not, I will not have the flag-wavers think that they gain, while we relax."

"Jawol, Kommandant."

"Knock that off, Schultz!"

"Yes, sir."

RE:  Current Situation

John, why does the president have to go flying off the handle like this right now?  I've some serious deals coming down the pipe from the Mishimans and Impies and I don't need this right now.  I mean if you gotta bust some caps then keep your powder dry but this isn't time to go wading around like some southern maritian cowpoke.

Also, tell your dogs to stop sniffing around the G-14 zone on Venus.  I've got it handled but I need to operatate quietly.

My best to the old lady,

  Anderson,

  Beats me...  Maybe the shareholders are getting on Colt for all the insults on a daily basis from them.  Or he actually reada damn history book...  Either way, he is the Prez and there is not much I can do other than snap off a Salute and say "Yes Sir!!"  I'll do my best to stem some of the tide...but I can't promise.

  And what gives about G-14?  Is there something I should know, Major?

  I'll send your best to the missus.

I'll give my best to your old lady first.

There is nothing of concern about G-14.  Just a couple of standard training accidents.  Our safety record there in impeccable.

Well... that was also incorporating some support units from the Cartel.  If I don't use those, it gets a bit lower.  There is a bunch of stuff I never use in this full list so it will be fun for me

  You tell me what you have for points and I'll match it as best I can.  Or if two of you decide to team up, we can make it a really large throwdown.  If it means I need to actually paint up a pair of other units still in unprimered state, so be it.  It might actually push me over 3k if I finish painting the other squads.

  Yeah, I have too much metal.
