Cape May/Fort Dix Sourcebook?

[Enfield]

FYI there is one more Challenge article that might interest you - Strangers in a Strange Land from Challenge 48 - its about a group of Soviet prisoners who broke out of prison after the TDM and are still present in the New Jersey area in 2001 - even to where they are considering an attack on the Cape May base

Group Medved has 112 effectives split into 4 25 man platoons and an HQ element. Could make an interesting addition to any possible sourcebook or adventure

That sounds really good actually, thanks for the tip. Do you remember offhand what kind of units they came from or was it mixed

[Enfield]

Will the USS Constellation be an active participant



Pssst...Enfield: Peach Bottom PA, Limerick PA, Three Mile Island/Harrisburg PA, Salem NJ, Shippingport PA, Danville PA, State College PA....just sayin'



Enola, PA, and Harrisburg just across the Susquehanna River have extensive rail marshalling yards and freight handling yards. Oh, yes, a favorite local saying about people who live in Enola: Enola spelled backwards is "Alone".

I am surmising that Ft. Detrick might be slightly involved with the contagion

very cool. Nice joke about Enola

The stuff I bolded, are they all power plant sites or what

Be kind of ironic if there was a nuclear attack on that area that included Enola's marshalling yards.

Just sayin...












P.S. This is intended to be humourous

Is this a standard "Slate Wiper" campaign or related to the "28" cross over thread Both are interesting..... But a lot can be done with this system, as the V2.2 GPS page showed.

I will get you more information when I get home tonight as I have the article on my computer there - it was a real mixed bag that included pilots, combat engineers and medical officers among others. They werent armed that well either - will put the details up tonight

It's related to my 28 Days Later/Crossed campaign. Since there was no "Thanksgiving Day Massacre" Annapolis, Patuxent and Fort Detrick are still up and running, but other areas were overrun.

Interesting! A lot of possibilities there.

Ayup. Nukes, every one. The unit at State College (Penn State University Main Campus) is a Radio Thermal Generator, not a reactor, but IIRC it had been in operation for years and was still functioning at the time of TDM. The rest are commercial nuclear electrical-generation plants.

One hopes they will have picked up a little more fluency in English during their stay in America.

The group was mixed - from the article

"The Group Medved musters 112 effectives, including 27 senior NCO's, 75 field grade officers and 10 staff officers. The Soviets come from almost every branch of the armed forces with a fair majority of the field grade officers being pilots in addition to a handful of combat arms officers, engineers, medical personnel and even technical specialists in their ranks. The majority of the senior NCO's are ground combat veterans and would constitute a very clear danger if they were better armed.

Their medical group includes a surgeon and three combat medics but they lack medical supplies

Group Medved is led by Colonel Alexander Brionovisk, formerly of the 5th Tank Division.

The Soviets have only 41 firearms, the majority of them civilian hunting weapons. Three Uzis, 2 AR-15s and an antique BAR form the firepower core. The most common weapon is the 12-gauge shotgun, of which the group has
11 (four of them former police pump action riot guns, three automatic, and the rest double barreled). There are 12 rifles (one Garand, eight .30 bolt-actions and three .22 semiautos) 12 pistols (five H&K 9mm automatics, two .38 S&W's, three army issue 45's and two .44s-a Desert Eagle and a S&W, the personal weapons of the colonel and Major Rasmoninov (second in command)

Ammo is also very scarce - they only have a case apiece of 12-gauge, .22 and .30 ammo. The group also has 100 rounds of 5.56,125 of 9mm, 400 of .38 and 230 of .45 ACP. The 20 rounds of .44 Magnum are split equally
between the two officers."

Wait until they run into the Pineys. ("Comrade, can you hear...banjos")
