43rd MP Mutiny
I could see a mutiny; the 43rd desperately needed a change in leadership to someone that could handle the strategic level planning/interface with the locals and leave a tactical combat genius like Col. Fort to do what he does best.
But not a wholesale disintegration....worst case scenario, the survivors would/could be integrated into the Isolationist Militia.
It seems that Col. Fort's downfall is his apparent "go it alone" attitude and unwillingness or inability to grasp that his unit is on it's own now and that he NEEDS to work with the local governments (specifically Steven Britt) to survive.
I've never accepted the bleak armageddon that was Howling Wilderness....it was just too dang dark, and given what we know now, I accept the drought even less.
I feel that with a timely change to the right leader, the 43rd could use the advantages it has...ELECTRICITY, a food supply (fish), and prepared positions with heavy weaponry to be an integral part of the recovery of the Boston-Rhode Island area. You have food, artillery, and something to barter for food. The refugees can provide a manpower pool to rebuilt the Rhode Island State Militia and the 43rd's ranks given time.
Put simply, others seem to survive with less advantages, so why not the 43rd?
