Put all three reinforcements in Oregon.

Yes, I realise that having twenty-four battalions in Washington is completely useless, but I might actually use them for something... eventually.

From: General-in-Chief Ernest
General Order № 3
To: Commander, Department of the Trans-Mississippi

You are to receive 3 battalions, you will allocate 1 to the Army of Arkansas and 2 to the Army of Texas.

You will invade Nuevo Mexico with the Army of Texas, attacking only so long as the odds are 3:1.  If successful, you will transfer as many battallions as possible to the Army of Nuevo Mexico from the Army of Texas.
From: General-in-Chief Ernest
General Order № 3
To: Commander, Department of the Cis-Mississippi

You are to receive 3 battalions, you will allocate 1 to the Army of Tennesee and 2 to the Army of Alabama.

You will liberate Florida with the Army of Alabama, attacking so long as you have 9 or more battalions remaining, leaving 8 battalions  (or fewer if the exigencies of war so dictate) in said Army of Alabama, transferring the remainder to the Army of Florida

Said Army of Florida shall then liberate Georgia so long as it can attack at 3:1 odds.  If successful, all but one battalion shall be transferred from the Army of Florida to the Army of Georgia.

From: General-in-Chief Ernest
General Order № 5
To: Commander, Army of Kansas

Assuming the success of our arms in taking either Nuevo Mexico or Florida, you are directed to transfer 1 battalion to the Army of Sequoyah.

From: General-in-Chief Ernest
General Order № 6
To: Commander, Army of Kanawha

I urge you to maintain good morale in your two battallions, and remind you that you remain in our thoughts as you defend your mountain fastness.  I have arranged to have several cases of lemons to be sent  by courier through enemy lines for the enjoyment of you and your men.

[Joe Republic]

Sender: Commander, Department of the Trans-Mississippi
To: General-in-Chief Ernest

As ordered, 1 battalion was deployed to the Army of Arkansas, and 2 battalions deployed to the Army of Texas.

The attack on Nuevo Mexico was a complete success.  Their sole contingent was defeated on the first day by three advance battalions of the Texas regiment.

Four of the Texan regiment will remain in Nuevo Mexico to establish a forward command location, while the fifth battalion will return to guard our stronghold in Texas.

Sender: Commander, Department of the Cis-Mississippi
To: General-in-Chief Ernest

As ordered, 1 battalion was deployed to the Army of Tennessee, and 2 battalions deployed to the Army of Alabama.

The liberation of Florida was a rousing victory.  Our forces vastly outnumbered the enemy, and we capitalized on their demoralization and disorganization caused by months of supply line separation from their imperial capital.  We suffered no significant casualties.

As ordered, eight battalions of the invading army were re-deployed to protect our stronghold in Alabama, while five battalions remained in Florida to prepare for the subsequent invasion of Georgia to the north.

(Ernest rolled 5 3 2; Nation rolled 3)


The invasion of Georgia unfortunately ended in a tactical retreat.  Although we outnumbered the enemy significantly, they maintained a strategic advantage by making their stronghold in the Appalachian foothills, rather than the administrative center of Atlanta (which the enemy had already seen fit to raze to the ground).

We lost two entire battalions in our onslaught, while the enemy lost none.  As ordered, once the likelihood of victory had diminished sufficiently, a general retreat to Florida was ordered.

Sender: Commander, Army of Kansas
To: General-in-Chief Ernest

We received separate communiqués this morning from the commanders of the Departments of the Trans-Mississippi and Cis-Mississippi at 0800 and 1430 respectively, to inform us of their successes on their respective fronts.  Thus, as ordered, one battalion was transferred to the Army of Sequoyah.

Sender: Commander, Army of Kanawha
To: General-in-Chief Ernest

The cases of lemons were received at dawn, and if I may speak for all the men, we are very grateful.  I also admire the ingenuity with which they were transferred via enemy lines.  Some of the men were in poor spirits with recent news of our location becoming almost entirely surrounded by the encroaching British Army, but they remain upbeat and well-prepared for any attacks on our position.
