Radio Free America: Update 4, July 2017
Taking a look at the funnier side of life, we have gotten news in from Manhattan that the Soviets have shut down a social club glorifying their regime. They issued a statement saying, “While we are flattered by the enthusiasm of the American people for their liberation, we hope that you will place your trust in our administration to guide you to a brighter future. Any organizations outside of those created by the Liberation Council are considered to be illegal in operations, regardless of their politics.” In other words, the damn Russkies don’t need us pathetic Americans to build a commie paradise in our country.

The American Commune
The American Commune is said to have created an organization to support the Soviet cause in Manhattan. An amicable KGB agent soon turned up to convince them to stop operating, reminding them of laws against private social groups. They thanked the movement’s leaders for having their hearts in the right place and provided them with a small contribution to continue spreading the good news about the Soviet occupation but warned them against further such activities.

The American Commune stuck a heavy blow against the Soviets, by wiping out a small patrol that had wandered into their territory. Catching them off guard in the attack, the Soviets barely had time to fight back before being overwhelmed. A couple of resistance soldiers were killed in the fight, and the rest escaped with the weapons of the enemy. (-15 Ammunition, -2 Civilians; 8 Civilians upgraded to Recruits, +10 Assault Rifles)

The All-Americans
The All-Americans have launched another stunning attack upon the Soviets. Having been pursued into the woods by a Soviet force equipped with a tank, the All-Americans set up an ambush to end these attacks. The Soviets were lax in their protocols and set up a marginal base. The Americans silently eliminated the Soviet sentries, and the rest of the encampment had their throats slit in their sleep, and no alarm was ever raised. The Soviet tank was stripped of fuel and supplies, and then demolished with an explosive. (-1 Explosive, 5 Regulars upgraded to Veterans, +20 Fuel, +20 Supplies, +70 Ammunition, +20 Assault Rifles, +1 Heavy Machine Gun)

The Blue Eagles
The Blue Eagles have reentered the drug game, which had been briefly shut down by Soviet occupation. The occupation had led to a complete collapse of the illegal drug market as American gangs and operations did their best to recover and provide for their addicts. Most were killed by the Soviets who had no need or desire for due process. Therefore, the Blue Eagles found a very lackluster and unsupportive market for their new products.

The Eradicators
The Eradicators launched another open assault upon the forces of the Soviet Union in Queens. With a swarm of fresh recruits, they launched an attacked upon an explosives depot. The Soviets were surprised, but still managed to put up a tough fight against their assailants. Ultimately the resistance’s superior numbers won the day and the Soviets were slaughtered and their armored vehicle secured. Unfortunately, no one among the Eradicators could figure out how to operate the vehicle, so an explosive was used to destroy it before retreating. (-6 Civilians, -1 Recruit, 3 Recruits wounded; +9 Civilians upgraded to Recruits, +28 Explosives, +9 Assault Rifles)
A Soviet patrol was threatening Eradicator operations in Queens, and so an ambush was laid to attack it. Explosives were used to attack the vehicles of the patrol, but unfortunately, only two were destroyed in the initial attack. The heavy machine gun mounted on top of the third inflicted a heavy tool upon the Eradicator rebels, and allowed the surviving Soviets to retreat without further casualties. Reinforcements were ultimately deployed to the area, but the Eradicators had left before they could arrive. (-30 Ammunition, -4 Recruits, 5 Recruits wounded, +2 Notoriety; +6 Assault Rifles)

The Hellions
Soviet authorities in Manhattan claim to be closing in on the criminal organization known as the Hellions. Investigations in the area have led to a number of possible leads as local patrols intensify against rebel activity. (+2 Notoriety)
Further effective Soviet operations were conducted near Trump Tower as a small force of Hellions attempted to inspire the captured American POWs. Unfortunately, the guards in the neighboring art gallery detected the Hellion intrusion and set off the alarms. Hundreds of Soviet soldiers descended upon the Hellion force, and only a few made it out alive. Some reports indicate that several Hellions were captured by the Soviets and have been handed off to the KGB for interrogation. (-5 Civilians, -2 Recruits, 3 Recruits Wounded, -4 Ammunition, -6 Pistols, +5 Notoriety)
The Hellions did deliver a nasty surprise to the Soviets in Central Park, using a heavy machine gun and surprise to devastate some security forces near a new armory. The attack was swift and brutal, leaving no Soviet survivors. The Hellions were incredibly pleased to find even more heavy machine guns to add to their arsenal, in addition to an ample supply of assault rifles. Using makeshift carts and carrying all they could haul the Hellions ran off into the night. (-20 Ammunition, -2 Recruits; +40 Ammunition, +38 Assault Rifles, +6 Heavy Machine Guns)

The Red Dusk
The Red Dusk have struck at a major Soviet munitions depot, hoping to gain more supplies for their ongoing operations. The Soviets were caught off guard and the Dusk managed to succeed at their objective with only a single casualty. (-14 Fuel, -21 Ammunition, -1 Recruit; +9 Assault Rifles, +130 Ammunition)
Using their newly acquired munitions, the Red Dusk struck at a Soviet patrol on an isolated bridge in the mountains. The Soviets were boxed onto the bridge and rapidly cut down by sustained fire. Using explosives, the resistance demolished the bridge with the Soviets still upon it, sending them and their vehicles tumbling down. There were no survivors. The resistance looted what they could, and eliminated the few surviving Soviet soldiers before returning to base.
