I have to say, I love reading your posts on the SE Arizona area - great detail, and good reading. If I ever get to run a tabletop game, I'd love to poach some of the ideas (with your permissions, of course!).

Not a bad draft. Could do with some polishing but still a damn good read.
He definately appears to have been setting himself up as a king as early as the immediate aftermath of the nukes. Seems a little strange that higher command didn't notice and jump on him, but I suppose they were just a little occupied with what was arguably more important issues elsewhere...

This is very interesting stuff. What becomes of Thomason? Do the JCS forgive him? It seems to me that by refusing direct orders from higher command as early as '98, he would basically be considered as having gone rogue and his units classified as enemy combatants by MilGov and/or CivGov. It sounds like he's basically just a "kinder and gentler" American version of the Margrave of Silesia or Black Baron, looking out for his own little cantonment, at the expense (or, at least, neglect) of others. Does the federal government[s] ever lay down the law in SEA?
Or does the national government just consider him the only game in town and overlook/forgive his numerous indescretions? Also, would a lot of AZ's civilian law enforcement have been called up to active military duty? It seems like a lot of cops are former military. This would reduce the number of folks who could potentially oppose Thomason's rule (or refuse to serve in his forces)? What kinds of appeals would Thomason use to keep his troops in line, especially officers who might know of his refusal to follow orders? Is he more or a carrot or stick type?
