" The peoples of shagras are becoming nervous with the amassing power of the juntas to the north, and their hostility towards our countrymen. as we have no military, police, or prisons..we are quite defenseless to their raids, though we can not assist in military strength, the nation of Shagras extends it hand in friendship and offers humanatarian aid. we hope that in these uneasy times your men can rest assured they are welcome in the havens of the west.

The Hess Tribe was easiliy convinced to support our bid to control the Great Tribe. Their religious fevor has died down a bit but, I am sure had largely influenced their choice to become our allies. They also have seen first hand our capibilities of flight and compact rapid fire arms.
Dep and Tainer Tribes have rejected our offer to join us. Even with the promise of being allowed to continue their nomadic ways, they said they would fight us to the last man. However, demostration of our capabilities has swayed some of the small tribes in each domain to join us. Under our protection, they have migrated to the outer edge of the Hess Tribe domain.
BEV Tribe, the most warlike of all, was not hard to convince once they saw our demostration of power. They easily conceded as long as we promised to supply them with our weapons. They were informed that once the Allied States, offically annexed the Great Tribe as an offical colony, they would all have to opportunity to join our "war tribe."
Yeung and Drib Tribes rejected and kicked out our diplomatic delegations. This was to be expected but still unforunate.
I have sent additional attachments on plans and options of subduing the resisting tribes. Namely, we do the sweeping and leave the Allied tribes to do the mopping. Also included are areas of land we can, or should in my opinion, occupy in the process.

Shagras
As per their request, two Bustian motorized squads (5 Humvees) met up with the expedition from Shagras to lead them to a base camp in the Hess Tribe Domain. This way the expedition could begin setting up their own camps inside the friendly tribe's territory.

Positiong of Forces
The Mechanized Divisions had to take very long routes scouted through the mountains to enter the Hess Tribe, so ammo and fuel depots were being erected near the base of the mountain paths. The Motorized Divisions had little difficulty traversing the terrain and were already establishing themselves to enter Dep and Tainer Domains.
The smaller tribes of Dep and Tainer had given information on seasonal movements of the other tribes. With that information, Blackhawks were able to locate many tribes and maintain a watch on them and their movements.

BEV Tribe Eagerness
BEV Tribe had announced their alliegance to the Allied States openly, calling for their warriors to leave Yueng and Drib to support upcoming war. To date there is very little intelligence on BEV warriors currently in service in Yueng and Drib. But the warriors in BEV are massing to invade. Bustian advisors are trying to keep BEV leaders from jumping the gun and starting the fight but so far all attempts are futile.
____________________________
Warrior Angels
The Hess Tribe is content to allow the Allied States to do the fighting, seeing Bustian soldiers as warrior angels with magical weapons and creatures. Re-education centers are being erected to correct this image.

Dep and Tainer Domains
With the assistance of the Blackhawks and Apaches, many tribes in the two domains were subdued. We actually suffered some causalities as troops have become reckless while facing the primitive weapons. Some face court martials for ignorance of battlefield tactics. Those few deaths and the court martials have managed shake the carelessness out of the remaining soldiers.

BEV Tribe Impulsive
The BEV Tribe had attacked into Yueng and Drin just prior to when our motorized forces were sent into Dep and Tainer. Many BEV warriors employed by Yueng and Drin turned against them and were able to support BEV forces. There are many reports of pillaging and looting in Yueng and Drin Domains.

Yueng and Drin
Forces are reorganizing to support BEV intial attacks in Yueng and Drin Domains. The few remaining Dep and Tainer tribes are being flushed out and cornered.

Subject: Travels with the BEV Tribe War Party Part VII
Since my last report, we have engaged Yueng war parties twice. I still cannot get over the up close n personal hand to hand combat that is the normal of these natives. Even though I am here strictly as an observer, I am forced to fight along side the BEV warriors, for Yueng warriors make no distinction between them and me. Even when I fire my XM8, the enemy will still charge me hoping to get close enough to strike me. This timely report is proof that they have yet to do so.
BEV takes no prisoners. Any surviving enemy is often tortured before being put to death. Their bodies are laid in the open, as a warning to enemy patrols. Interesting to note, how BEV warriors scar themselves for every kill they make. Usually a list of lines, made from a red hot spear tip, from their shoulder down. Some place it across their chests. They even offered to start my "list of kills" on my arm. I respectfully declined. They continue to have a hard time to understand why I choose not to take credit for my kills.
It is my continued assestment, that men of the BEV Tribe will enlist in high numbers in our military once we have secured their nation.
The king is impressed with your natural leadership skills, and would like to promote you to the status of Viceroy, we need a permanent authority watching over our interests in the newly founded city of Hokari.
-Therefore, we have new plans for you to lead these men:
primary objective: begin building fortifications and establishing a border city.
scondary objective: expand scouting squads to the north west, establishing shagras' new borders along the way.
