© 1999-2000 Imminent Storm of NEWST.
It took a while to finally secure what was once North America as we hunted the last few bands of marauders and the remnants of the New Paradigm and Collective. We decided that Europe would be the next logical place to go....
The 3rd Armored Corps arrived early the next morning, bringing much needed firepower with it. But apart from occasional skirmishes and light VTOL raids, we saw no major attack for several days....
