Maxwell's Militia isn't a functioning State only a Warlord with a territory of less than 50 square miles. The KFS is a fully functioning State with all the trappings of a fascist government run by robber barons. It is Fascist in the Spanish Model not the NAZI model. Give your loyalty to the State and the State give back with work, health, and are for you when your old or sick. |

But I always felt that the Republic had to have enough population and industry to support the Army, if only as sub contractors. Someone has to be building diesel engines, making cordite and high explosives, refining POL, machining screws and even casting track segments. Yes a lot of this is done within the Division itself, but unless the Division has a huge number of people who do industrial work there has to be an infrastructure outside the unit doing a large part of this. |

The lack of winter campaigns also goes against history and would be very poor military art for the First Cav. The American Indians HATED winter fighting and one of the ways that the historical campaigns developed was winter attacks on indian encampments. There is no reason why the Cav isn't tearing up the savages all winter long. If the horse cavalry of the 19th century could do it against the tribes in the west why can't the better armed and equipped cav in Lonestar do the same? The idea that the savages have been pushing back Texas for decades makes no sense. The savages are melee warriors and the Texans, including civilians, have repeating fire arms. I don't see any way the savages can push into Texas. I do see the Cav hammering the savages, ESPECIALLY, in the winter. I'd think that the savages would fear winter storms because the cav would use them as cover. Many savage villages were overrun during snow or rain as the first they knew was when the cav tanks rolled out of the precipitation spitting death. |

They only have those because they took them from the Republic of Monterey. It clearly states they have no idea how they work and the vehicles are crewed by captured and enslaved soldiers from that nation. In canon they have no heavy industry.

The Brotherhood has 1 million in total population of which 100,000 are warriors. This is their level of technology "Thus medicine, forging, husbandry, agriculture and myriad other skill either declined or disappeared. ... Only those technical skills which related to small arms and ammunition maintenance and production were preserved." |

5,000,000 people is enough to support a lot of industry and technology. |
