The All-Americans
The All-Americans have had another major success as the Soviets were sent reeling under a heavy attack. A patrol was ambushed by explosives and sniper fire so quickly that the Soviets were not able to get off a shot before all were killed. The two Soviet IMVs were taken intact, allowing them to be seized along with the Soviet ammunition. (-25 Ammunition, -1 Explosives; +20 Ammunition, +10 Assault Rifles)
The elite performance of these former soldiers was demonstrated yet again when the Americans struck a Soviet prisoner convoy, liberating some of their former comrades. Using disguised explosives and devices, the Soviets were caught completely off-guard and once more barely had the chance to fire off more than a handful of shots. The American prisoners were rescued and joined the ranks of the rebellion. The Soviet soldiers were looted thoroughly by the surrounding population, and when reinforcements finally arrived, too late, they found only charred vehicles and corpses. (-2 Explosives, -25 Ammunition; +20 Ammunition, +7 Assault Rifles, +10 Regulars; 15 Regulars upgraded to Veterans)
The All-Americans, fearing repercussions for their recent activity moved their base of operations, heading into the South Mountain Reserve to elude Soviet pursuit. Unfortunately, a number of soldiers did not survive the travel, having been wounded in the previous month’s fighting. (-5 Regulars, -4 Notoriety)
Available Opportunities
The Blue Eagles
The Blue Eagles had an inauspicious start to their campaign as a resistance movement. An attack was launched upon Soviet forces at the Chinese Museum. Unfortunately, the Soviet garrison was able to repulse the attack and inflict heavy casualties upon the attacking fighters. Reinforcements in the form of armored vehicles quickly came down the road and forced the rebels to retreat. (-4 Civilians, 8 Civilians wounded, -3 Pistols, +1 Notoriety; 21 Civilians upgraded to Recruits)
Available Opportunities
The Eradicators
The Eradicators have struck their first blow against the Soviet occupiers with a strike upon a stalled fuel truck. While originally it was intended to be a somewhat peaceful robbery without death or violence, things took a turn for the worse when none of the Russians spoke any English. A gunfight ensued, killing one of the resistance fighters, but thankfully the tanker itself was kept intact, and the fighters drained everything they could carry before blowing up the tank. (-1 Civilian, -5 Ammunition; 14 Civilians upgraded to Recruits, +5 Assault Rifles, +28 Fuel)
An open attack was launched upon the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, wherein a group of Eradicators swarmed the Soviet defenders in a brief but brutal firefight that killed the Russians, and wounded a couple of the resistance fighters. A collaborating priest was executed for his crimes in abandoning the American way. (-5 Ammunition, 2 Recruits wounded; 15 Civilians upgraded to Recruits, +5 Assault Rifles, +1 Legitimacy, +1 Notoriety)

The Hellions
The Hellions struck at a new Soviet fueling pier on the Hudson River. They managed to catch the Soviets off guard, but unfortunately, failed to prevent some of the marines from using the boat’s heavy machine gun. Multiple fighters were killed and others were wounded before the last Soviet lay dead. The resistance fighters were able to pry the gun off of the vessel and take some of the fuel from the dock before detonating charges as Soviet assault helicopters arrived to investigate. (-2 Civilians, -2 Recruits, 4 Recruits wounded, -8 Ammunition; +22 Fuel, +3 Assault Rifles, +1 Heavy Machine Gun, 2 Civilians upgraded to Recruits)
A pair of scouts investigated the feared Trump Tower, the harshest internment camp for American POWs in the Greater New York area. It has been said that some Americans freely jump to their deaths from the highest points of the tower rather than continue the regimens prepared by the Soviet interrogators. Fifth and Fifty-Sixth are constantly patrolled by armored Soviet vehicles, and it is rumored that the tower’s namesake is relentlessly pissed upon and sodomized by a rather enthusiastic KGB interrogator known only as the “Gray Cardinal.” Sadly a handful more of the New York National Guard were added to this feared complex when they were rousted from a sympathizer household in Manhattan. The sympathizers were executed for their crime.

Poseidon’s Revenge
The people of Poseidon’s Revenge scored big this month, as a Soviet ammunition barge has gone completely missing from the river. According to reports, the rebels boarded the barge near the inlet and quietly and quickly eliminate the Soviet Marines guarding them. As it turns out, two of the guards actually defected to the rebels, having been born in England and conscripted into the Soviet army. The entire barge was quietly redirected to rebel docks, and completely unloaded of its stock. The barge was sent floating back into the Atlantic where it was allegedly recovered by the Soviet Navy. (+10 Assault Rifles, +1,720 Ammunition, +2 Regulars)
The rebel group had a more ambiguous success further inland on Staten Island as they struck at a Soviet patrol investigating last month’s handiwork. What was to be a quick ambush turned into a bitter firefight between the two parties as the Soviets held out for reinforcements that never came. Multiple fighters were left dead and wounded, while the Soviets were wiped out to a man. Their weapons were recovered and returned to base. (-3 Civilians, 3 Recruits wounded, -20 Ammunition; +9 Assault Rifles)
Available Opportunities
The Red Dusk
Soviet authorities discovered an attempt to kill soldiers monitoring the protests at Seton Hall University. Explosives were seen to have been planted by rogue maintenance staff who were later arrested and detained, known to be working for the organization called the Red Dusk. The ensuing protests were cancelled and various ringleaders were sought for questioning, though most have disappeared from their classes. The explosives that were used were seized and stored by Soviet authorities. (-5 Civilians, -15 Explosives, -15 Fuel)
The Red Dusk faced further defeat when attacking a planned Girl Scout camp out the outskirts of the South Mountain Reserve. Soviet guards were at first eliminated, but they soon rallied and managed to hold back the attacks until reinforcements arrived by helicopter. The Red Dusk fled back into the woods, having only inflicted moderate casualties. (-4 Recruits, 2 Recruits wounded, -30 Ammunition)

OOC
I left out a few bridges out of Manhattan. This has been corrected with relevant Soviet checkpoints added to the proper positions controlling access.
If USA and Russia flipped realtively speaking, would other countries flip too?
Like, China is the world's epicenter for electronics (especialky video games) and its form of animation is taking the world by fire, while Japan is practicing "capitalism with Japanese characteristics", perhaps with a brutal crackdown of ainu or other minorities?
Honestly? Nothing would amuse me more, but I will be happy to leave that sort of world building to all of you, with of course the right to step in if things go a little too off the rocker. All that I’ll be dictating is what is going on here in New York City’s background and information.
