if MilGov represents the US govt and they are supposed to defend against all enemies foreign or domestic then getting the Mexicans and Soviets out is definitely number one on their list (or at least shared with taking out New America)
and face it - without the oil from Texas they are screwed and they know it long term
And remember I dont recognize the uber drought from Howling Wildnerness and Kidnapped - as far as I am concerned those modules dont exist except for the historical data up to Omega as that is what my GM came up with to try to keep the game going after he and the players generally were disgusted by the way Kidnapped and HW in his words "hijacked our Saturday afternoons and took them to Mad Max's Australia instead of to WWIII"
so the events of 2001 in HW and Kidnapped arent used by me in my GM universe - which from many of the posts I have read here is a relatively common occurence among a significant minority of the players and GM's here
and as a GM that is my right within the game to do that - remember this my thread about my particular campaign only - not about the canon- i.e. this is how my game as played by my GM diverged from canon and how I am taking up that mantle of what he did from here
in the canon the Mexicans held onto Texas for a hundred years and still have CA - but not in my GM universe - as you will see - but again that is only in Olefin's universe -
however I think I am making a pretty valid point that MilGov wouldnt have wasted the organized divisions that reported to Bremerhaven by just letting them mill around in Norfolk till they starved or deserted
and love the discussion Horse Soldier - you make some very good points and I look forward to more
