In the year 1938, the Confederate States of America was at war with Mexico over the southern border. The Confederate States of America and the United States had maintained an amiable if competitive relationship, but with the First World War, everything changed. The Confederate State support of the British and French tipped the scales against Germany, but the economic depression that followed shook the world from one end to the other.
Now as the Confederate States of America pulls itself out of the violent July Uprising, the new President Gerald O’Kelly decides to flex his new muscle. Public projects, suppression of the blacks, and removal of illegal immigrants were the top of his list. In December of 1937, he begins Operation Wetback. The deportation of the illegal immigrants began.
Three weeks later, the Confederate United States is rocked by the January Rising, as Mexican enclaves in New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas rose up with Communist Mexican weaponry. Launching putative raids against the Mexican government, an uneasy stalemate results. The Mexican government is under pressure to reply in kind, but are afraid of further Confederate State responses. The Confederate States of America knows that Mexico is unwilling to commit to war, but is afraid of more uprisings.

The scales tip as the Spanish Civil War ignites, where the Fascist Germans support Francisco Franco, and the Republicans are supported by the Soviets. The Mexican government sends soldiers to support the Republicans. The new ’Aztec Legion’ trains with Soviet weaponry along with Mexican weapons. The combat experience is brought back to Mexico, where they are scattered into the many corps, training them for the day….
The day came on March 11th, 1938.

[Marshal Murat]

The T-32 Creek transport lifted off the tarmac of Richmond Airport, you barely awake in the back. The Western Staff had had a meeting in Fort Lee on the James River Peninsula, you one of the three commanders under the command of Major-General Edward Talmore. You were sure the Mexican communists wouldn't attack any-time soon. Then the Aztec legion returned home. You hadn't thought that would affect the Mexican army, but evidently it did. Now you listened to your aid relay the information gathered.

"The Mexicans launched a artillery barrage across the border, and followed up with a multi-front push from Texas to Arizona. Here is a map, drawn up by the CIS."

The major push is into the Arizona and New Mexico, with another push to secure Brownsville and Corpus Cristi. The National Guard has been assembled, with the 3rd North Carolina and 2nd Tennessee moving to Memphis. The Texas division has been tasked to regional defenses, and will be unavailable. The entire western command was caught off-guard, and are falling back.

"What do we have?"

"The two divisions are the major part of your command. For the most part it was expected that the local militia would be able to defend against any major Mexican assault. We were surprised they were able to punch into Arizona. The mountainous region was supposed to slow the attack, but they rolled through. Hopefully the Tennessee and North Carolina divisions will be able to launch a counter-attack."
You feel very uneasy. The Mexican assault wasn't supposed to advance so far. The war games didn't go that far. You know the Texans, Arizonans and New Mexicans will defend the state, but hope doesn't win wars. Your tempted to call the Texan armored to Santa Fe, and request more soldiers, but you don't know.

"What about the air force?"
"Most of the air force is still operating, but forward operating bases were hit first by the Mexican bombers."
"Navy?"
The aide shuffles through the paper.
"They are still operating. Sir."



You begin to write out orders for your troops.

1. Call the Texan Armored Division to Houston?
A. Yes
B. No
C. Split it in half. Take most of the heavy armor back to Houston, then assemble in Baton Rouge.

2. Request more troops?
A. Request another infantry or motorized division from Louisiana to meet in Baton Rouge
B. Infantry are assigned to either reserve or front-line. To strip the reserve of units this early is pre-emptive.
