#FORTRESS AMERICA

[oldschoolfrp]

In the 21st century the United States perfected the "Star Wars" missile defense system, completely eliminating the threat of nuclear attack. The country quickly grew complacent and isolationist, allowing its conventional military to decline. This ended with the simultaneous invasion on three fronts by the Asian Peoples Alliance, the Euro-Socialist Pact, and the Central American Federation. (Fortress America, a Gamemaster Series big box game by Milton Bradley, 1986) Around 1987 the game was reprinted with the main figure on the right repainted with a beard and sunglasses to look less like Suddam Hussein:

Both versions feature a lower Manhattan skyline with the WTC in front of Mount Rushmore as central images of US freedom, between the Golden Gate Bridge and Monument Valley.

Fantasy Flight Games released a redesigned version of the game in 2012.

It turns out that the sufficiently autistic can, in fact, open their copy of Fortress America twenty-five years after they could last possibly have played it, and find a complete order of battle (with some spares!) for each faction, except one damned Asian Popular Alliance hovertank which was presumably lost to shoddy Communist maintenance no actually it was just in the lid. Amazing.

What you cannot do is learn this fact in time for your young children to still be interested in playing. Oh well, now they're nicely sorted and it should go faster next time.

So awhile back, I had a dream that Soldier was a father, & I finally got around to sketching some ideas for that

Why is it that when people bring up the fact that they are going to sail to the edge of the world does no one stop them!?! THEY ARE SAYING THEY ARE GOING TO KILL THEMSELVES DISCREETLY!! DOES NO ONE CARE???

most are weary about coming out to Soldier, he’s never said anything homophobic but he’s got this red blooded American thing in everything he does so no one’s really sure how he feels about it. Until some asshole actually says something homophobic and he ends them with his shovel, yelling about his how his mothers taught him to beat the hell out of bigots

Someone said my art tasted like an orange and you know what? I can kinda somewhat see it.

[loch-n-ceol]

Okay okay, let me get this straight

In the Meet the Pyro, Red is terrified of them (Engie is just concerned and weirded out)

Yet in the comic, they infantilise them, so what’s right, WHERES THE CONSISTENCY??

ARE THEY SCARED OF PYRO OR NOT

San Felipe de Barajas’s fortress, Cartagena, Colombia: The Castillo San Felipe de Barajas is a fortress in the city of Cartagena, Colombia. The castle was built in 1536 and is located on the Hill of San Lázaro in a strategic location, dominating approaches to the city by land or sea. It was originally known as the Castillo de San Lázaro. Wikipedia

Evoroa: We have been living on your dreams for so long. You would be surprised how well we would do here.

One by one, the cities of Exandria pledge to open their doors to Ruidian immigration. (Whitestone. Zephrah.)

Not every city. But enough.

Full design for America Liberty Doe, from my post about Soldier's daughter

I imagine she's like her dad in some ways- tough, loud, aggressive and stubborn. But not quite as patriotic as him lol. She would have no friends at college due to being very very weird.
