Torresdale has been reduced to rubble.

Handzus' block excluded if he lives there.

Torresdale has been reduced to rubble.

Ok this is getting out of hand. GovNickG's scenario is better Atleast my base is still entacted when he tells the story.

[TheWildCard]

Ah I see what kind of thread this is turning out to be.

Because of the inactivity of our leader Brambila I will now seize control of the South West as its President General!

As President General of the South-West my first order of bussiness is to take all of the North-West... Starting now!

[bullmoose88]

All I want Phil to do...(You live in Torresdale?) is to cede Northamption, Montogomery and Jersey (mercer and atlantic counties North) to the Penn Federation.

I will still level the Franklin Mills Mall though.

[Keystone Phil]

All I want Phil to do...(You live in Torresdale?) is to cede Northamption, Montogomery and Jersey (mercer and atlantic counties North) to the Penn Federation.

But you're destroying the Northeast!

Handzus' block excluded if he lives there.

Please spare a lot of us.  Keep KeystonePhil cooped up with John Perzel in his little fort.  It's possible.  Funny, Torrsedale isn't that conservative.  KeystonePhil would fit in Fox Chase quite nicely though.

[bullmoose88]

Only FMM...

Give me the counties I want, and North Jersey...Its not like you want that anyway...(Besides...I've got Giants Stadium to bulldoze).

[Keystone Phil]

Handzus' block excluded if he lives there.

 Torrsedale isn't that conservative.  

Actually this is an area were Bush did pretty well. We are a conservative area (probably not as conservative as Fox Chase though)

[TeePee4Prez]

It's funny Fox Chase is by far the most conservative area in NE Philly and places like Pine Valley and Bustleton Gore did fairly well.  Some parts of Bustleton Gore won over 75%.  I wonder why Fox Chase is so sconservative?    

[Keystone Phil]

It's funny Fox Chase is by far the most conservative area in NE Philly and places like Pine Valley and Bustleton Gore did fairly well.  Some parts of Bustleton Gore won over 75%.

The reason why that happens is the fact that most Republicans in these areas don't get out and vote (it's ashame but true). Gore could get 75% in an area but that might be because of a 20% turnout. Let's say there is an area of Pine Valley that is 55% Republican and Gore get's 75% of the vote in the 2000 election. Do you really think he received many Republican votes? No. It's just that the Republicans don't turn out. Hopefully that will begin to change.

[TeePee4Prez]

One thing I've noticed, Pine Valley has a lot of highly paid city workers.  They know who's buttering their bread.  Fox Chase on the other hand has a lot of churches and most people are more business-minded.  A lot of contractors live there for some reasson or another.

The Central Pennsylvania Freedom Militia would like to make its territorial boundaries known.  Currently the CPFM is protecting an area in central Pennsylvania from Lancaster County in the southeast to Bradford County in the northeast and from to Somerset County in the southwest to Warren County in the northwest.  These boundaries extend from southern to northern Pennsylvania.  The eastern boundary is Lancaster, Lebanon, Dauphin, Northumberland, Montour, Lycoming, Sullivan, and Bradford.  Any movement of troops across this line by anyone other than Keystone Phil will be seen as an act of war.  We are currently investigating the possibility that 5 captured prisoners have ties to rebel leader Handzus26.  If these rebel scouts have ties to Handzus26, there will be retribution.  The CPFM would like to offer political asylum to the strangely still living Keystone Phil.  We will provide food and shelter for you and your forces.  We will not however dissolve our organization.  The CPFM was formed on the premise that our leader was assassinated.  The leadership of the CPFM will not abdicate to the Keystone government because it believes that the Keystone Armed Forces are currently unable to guard a larger area than they already are.  The Central Pennsylvania Republic and the Central Pennsylvania Freedom Militia realizes that compared to other nations its military equipment is less capable, but our determination to fight and possibly die for our ideals is second to none.  We would like to make peace with the surrounding nations, but if instead we are confronted with hostility, we will give our lives for your destruction.

[Fmr. Gov. NickG]

The next six months of my time line.  I've seen a lot of interesting ideas for Pennsylvania, but I probably can't incorporate any of them until next year.

Year 2021 – The Garden State War
Part I

January– Advancing Chesapeake armies fight their way up the sporadically defending South New Jersey Turnpike.   Trailing armies skirmish with Keystone forces just West of Philadelphia of Philadelphia.

February – With Phil’s Philadelphia army distracted to the west, the advancing Chesapeake force conquers Camden, NJ.  They are greeted as liberators by partisans of Philadephia’s dissident leader Handzus.

March – Migrendal’s army crosses the George Washington Bridge, beginning the second front of the Garden State War.   Phil’s armies in East Brunswick march north to meet their New England foes.  Meanwhile, Cumberland, MD, a small town in Chesapeake’s westernmost county, votes to secede from the Republic and affiliate with Appalachia.  Chesapeake intelligence indicates that Cumberland’s mayor, elected in October 2020, had personal ties to Josh before the Civil War.  

April – Hagerstown, a larger city in Western MD infiltrated by Appalachian partisans, also votes to secede from Chesapeake.  With his armies elsewhere occupied, NickG largely ignores the vote.  RightWingNut emerges from exile in Newport News, VA promise to restore the Kingdom of Chesapeake.  He quickly recuits a sizeable citizen’s militia.  The Chesapeake Navy, reconstituted under the command of Adm. Beet, ships out to provide support along the coast of Southern New Jersey.

May – Beet’s navy overcomes a small defensive outpost in Atlantic City, NJ.  The casinos do record business, and each sailor is comped a luxurious hotel suite.  Appalachian armies march out of Fort Royal, VA toward the Maryland border.  Salisbury, MD, on the eastern shore, secedes from Chesapeake to join Appalachia.  Salisbury, although not yet influenced by Appalachian saboteurs, was rumored to be the retreat for many loyalist of RightWingNut following the coup of April 2020.  NickG is concerned, but his military is spread to thin to respond.



June – Delayed for months by traffic in the Lincoln Tunnel, New England armies finally conquer Jersey City on their way south to Newark.   RightWingNut’s militia begins to march North, gathering new recruits at every stop.   Forces of Phil and NickG prepare for a climactic battle in Trenton.

You should include what is taking place in the West and South in you story.

[W in 2004]

Here is some information about the forces of the CPFM.  The CPFM currently utilizes some of the defense assets of the former Pennsylvania National Guard.  In the time leading up to the Second U.S. Civil War, the PA National Guard was not well maintained.  During the economic crisis of the 20 teens, U.S. military and state National Guard budgets were heavily cut.  State governments, including Pennsylvania’s, could barely provide basic entitlements, like the Senior Citizens Recreation Fund and cosmetic surgery for canines, let alone fund less important programs like defense.  Some in government proposed dissolving the National Guards.  In the end, the decision was left to the states.  Pennsylvania, under the leadership of a Republican governor chose to maintain a small National Guard.  While they used outdated weapons from the last century, they were well trained.  The National Guard again became an issue in the 2018 Pennsylvania election, State Senator and businessman Keystone Phil faced Philadelphia Councilman Handzus26.  Keystone Phil proposed an economic stimulus package that would strengthen Pennsylvania’s faltering economy and increased funding for the National Guard.  Handzus26 favored government subsidized entertainment to keep the youth and senior citizens out of trouble and the abolition of the National Guard.  Keystone Phil won the election by 5%.  He became the first republican gubernatorial candidate to win certain sections of Philadelphia since who knows how long.  As Keystone Phil began to turn the Pennsylvania economy around, the civil war broke out in 2020.  This brings us to the present.  The CPFM possesses tanks, Humvees, APC’s (armored personal carriers), and mobile surface to air missile defense systems.  As for our air force, we have F-15 Eagles, F-16 Falcons, and A-10 Thunderbolts.  The CPFM does not currently maintain a navy.  As is obvious, these last century weapons are outdated.  The U.S. Military possesses far superior weapons to which the CPFM has no access.  The CPFM believes that it may be confronted with these superior weapons in combat.  Another problem for the CPFM is that it has limited petroleum reserves.  Because U.S. currency is all but worthless the CPFM has little to trade for much needed fuel.

Willow Grove Naval Air Station is now under my control

Strike package of F/A-18s is fueling on the tarmac.

[bullmoose88]

If Nick G and Phil do not remove their troops from the province of Mercer (Trenton), I will be forced to launch a massive airstrike that will make God's own thunder look weak.

Do not violate the sovereign territory of the Penn Federation.

A detachment of the Army of the Neshaminy has sped down I-95 into South Philadelphia and split into 2 divisions, intentions unknown.

[bullmoose88]

Observers in Camden New Jersey have notice smoke billowing out of the smokestacks of the USS New Jersey, a World War II battleship last used in the 1991 Gulf War.

Some said the ship was moving at a speed of 10 knots, north along the delaware river.

[Platypus]

The Front for Oceanic Freedom fedration (F-OFF)has seen the breakdown of the USA as a way to liberate their American Samoa, Guamian and Hawaiian brothers. A force of 10,000 F-OFFers is ude to land on Kaui in any moment. American Samoa and Huam have already been occupied, and a fleet of F-OFF ships are surrounding the Hawaiian islands.

[W in 2004]

The intelligence gathering services of CPFM have discovered that Keystone Phil is alive!  The reports that said that he was assinated are incorrect.  It appears that these reports are propaganda spread by Handzus26.  It is believed that Handzus26 held the local Philadelphia news stations hostage and forced them to spread the disinformation.  How this development will influence the current politic situation is still to be determined.  The Keystone Armed Forces still maintain control over Philadelphia and Chester County.  The leadership of the Central Pennsylvania Republic suggests that the Keystone Republic, the Central Pennsylvania Republic, and the Penn Federation join forces to defeat our common enemies.

Good lord, its amazing what goes on in this place when I'm gone for a week.....  

BRTD, do I get any kind of position in your government?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

you can be in my cabinet.

As to those wondering what I would do, I would try to take over Suffolk and Nassau counties, as well as Brooklyn and Queens.

If you give me that, I'll leave you all alone.
