"Hello?"
"Is this Colonel Vance?"
"Retired."
"Not anymore, Colonel. You're being recalled to duty."
"I was wondering when you people would call. Is Plastro giving you a hard time?"
"The Tans have proven more resourceful than anticipated, Colonel. They've broken through essentially all our defenses north of the Arlen River, and the Fifth Fleet has been effectively destroyed."
"Yeah, I heard. So I guess you want me to go to the River?"
"Affirmative, sir. You'll command the Ninth Battalion, a joint Green-Blue task force with the objective of forcing the Tan away from the River and seizing the town of Sal Arden."
"You do know why I retired, don't you?"
"Well, all has been forgiven, Colonel."
"I didn't ask for your god damn forgiveness! You people got us into this mess in the first place and now you're sitting there with your pants melting and don't know what to do! That's what you get with a bunch of sycophant bureaucrats making all the decisions."
...
"Do you accept the command, Colonel?"
...
"When do I leave?"

Greetings, everyone, to my newest AC. SSD2 has gotten a little slow, and I need a break to finalize my work on Season 2, so in the meantime, here's a Spiritual Successor to American Uprising!
The objectives of the game are fairly simple: when in combat, defeat the enemy. If there's anything more complicated going on, you'll be informed.

There are two types of currency in this game: CP and GP.
CP stands for Command Points and is used to purchase troops and fire support. It is a static total, and when you lose a unit, the CP is immediately refunded to you. However, barring special circumstances, you can only buy units when out of mission.
GP stands for Gear Points and is used to buy weapons and other equipment for your personal soldier. You earn a bit of GP for every mission.
To join:
You start as a Sergeant with 30GP. Use it wisely. One lucky player, however, will be chosen as your company's Commander, and will be elevated to 1st Lieutenant. The Commander can then choose his second in command, who will be made a 2nd Lieutenant. There is a 20GP bonus for being the Commander, and 10 for being the Second.
To get more CP, you must be promoted. Promotions get rarer and rarer the higher in the ranks you climb - you'll hit 1LT fairly quickly, but you'll have to be very effective to climb past Captain.
Remember that in this AC, I will not protect you from enemy fire because you are a PC. Fight smart or pay the consequences. if you die, you rejoin at one level below the average - thus, if most players are Captains you rejoin as a 1st Lieutenant, or if most players are Brigadiers, you join as a Colonel.

Equipment:
More equipment, units and fire support will become available as the game advances.
