Propaganda and Psyops in T2K
I'm reading a book about the WWII Korsun Pocket battles and a chapter devoted to a Soviet parley attempt got me thinking about propaganda and psyops in the Twilight world, post TDM.
How have you handled propaganda and psyops in your T2K campaigns? I haven't done too much with it, up to this point, but I'm making plans. So far, I've mostly just stuck to the tried and true marauder attrocities perpetrated to terrify civilian-occupied settlements into submission. I also flipped roles a bit and had an independent militia led by a Col. Kurtz-like, U.S. SF officer stringing up captured marauders and painting "Death to Bandits" on walls throughout his territory. I'm thinking of having the Lublin goverment start a propaganda campaign of airdropped leaflets offering amnesty to deserters/marauders who lay down their arms and/or rejoin the "official" Polish army. I can also imagine artillery-fired leaflets between cantonments encouraging enemy combatants to desert/surrender. I can also see Krakow and the merchant league in Silecia using propaganda to lure skilled workers to their respective territories and to try to keep unsavory elements out. There would probably be quite a bit of psyops activities in the CONUS dedicated to building and/or maintaining support for the government factions (MilGov and CivGov). With most radios around the world either fried by EMP or with no power supply to keep them turned on, I don't see radio stuff like "Tokyo Rose" or Radio Free Europe being particularly emphasized or effective. I'd love to hear your ideas on the subject.
