Somewhere on the Russian front that summer, a German soldier cursed the heat and hoped for a quick, cold winter.

Yeah, that's the dealio. Post-Collapse allows for Short Range radio transmitting. At start, only Government Holdouts can do long-range radio and even if a Holdout is conquered, it's not like there's many folks to chat with.

Ok. I was starting out as middle aged, and I was going to focus my first 100 days (IC) researching and building up my military might.

Also, gonna have fun crushing that NPC bandit clan on my borders. Gonna put some lore behind it and everything. Once I crush a holdout, could I recover a M4 Sherman? I don't want to be too op, but the think of an M4 sitting before the steps of the Massachusetts State House would make an excellent war trophy.
If anyone askes where we were Saturday at 14:30, we were at The Pub, understand?

In the North, you get General Winter, basically.

In the Southwest, General Summer. Try leading a cavalry charge when everyone is dead of heatstroke and you just huffed your last cat.

Meanwhile in the Inland Empire you have General Sherman, imagine fighting in the mountains and your stuck between a wall of fire and an enemy division and your all out of kittens to huff.

Silver and Lumber for the most part, else some steamboat stuff, some pre-collapse guns, and the Iron from railroad tracks.

Great! Weapons are in demand at our warehouses and trading posts, and silver and iron are good for metallurgy. What do you desire?

Attach a turbine to Napoleon's corpse.

Also, does this mean the changes you made are unchanged now that Orma's back?

Sure! We have various groups of voyageurs using the Columbia, and they can haul stuff back and forth from our galleons at St. Helens or Breakwall. What commodities are available for trade?

I must say, the St. Helens Republic controls the locks at the Bonneville Dam (which as far as I know is the only dam on the Columbia being kept in an operable state), but we charge only a minuscule fee for passage and is fair and equitable to all traders on the river.

Oh. Well, the voyageurs will pay that fee! After all, no one likes portaging a canoe around a guarded dam.

Considering how the map hasn't been updated since then, yes.

His claims weren't removed, and therefore will remain going forward assuming he reclaims the Vegas territories as his own.

I'll just find something else to RP as. Possibly a survivor enclave, possibly a bandit clan. I'm currently thinking of something that would be feasible in a post-apocalyptic world, so that I may present it to New Grestin and see if he will implement it for people to apply as.
