Default Bogged Down

I’ve been struggling mightily with working on Thunder Empire. I’m at a part that is critical to the story/scenario but which doesn’t hold my interest at the moment. I really want to write about what happens after the TDM. I’m especially keen on writing about the fighting in and around Fort Huachuca in the Second Mexican-American War (2MAW). Granted, within the Southwestern theater, Arizona is a secondary front for both the United States and Mexico. Call me a sucker for the underappreciated.

Right now, though, I’m working on the dynamics of refugee movements out of US cities following nuclear scares. This leads up to the refugee problem following the Thanksgiving 1997 exchange. I can’t talk about how Huachuca as a whole and the 111th Brigade in particular become a viable combat formation without mentioning the impact of the various scares on the post and on national thinking. Sigh. Anybody else experience this problem?
