PM is the most convenient as holoween mentioned. You can also arrange to meet to talk in the TeamSpeak channel.

WP is using ATC to make our battle plans but there are other whiteboard programs out there too.

**** Breaking News ****

NATO forces have been spotted practicing maneuvers for what most are expecting to be an epic clash when the two forces clash in the "Joint Strike" sector this Sunday. When asked by reporters why it appeared that the NATO forces were practicing the classic "fighting withdraw" maneuver, the unnamed general replied "Have you see how many tanks they have? Don't even get me started on their infantry...and the rockets..."

Reporters have tired to get a reply out of WARSAW PACT commanders but they are refusing to comment directly and explain the build-up of troops and material in the sector as "coincidental". One commander quipped "What? It's beautiful time of year to do camping. So I invite a ten thousand good soldiers friends to join me in woods. Big deal." He then went on for ten minutes slamming western media as pawns of their capitalistic overlord.

The surrounding towns and countryside is seeing a mass exodus as the residents know something is coming...and when it arrives, it will be big.

FAUX NEWS

To counter the feeble Communist propaganda displayed earlier today, the spokesman of the NATO forces repeated that the commanders were in full control of the situation. Due to superior intelligence and logistics, NATO morale is high and troops prepared, as always, to repel any hostile act perpetrated by the Warsaw Pact troops doing "Logistics training" on the other side of the iron curtain.

The original quote included in their twisted communiqué was: "Have you see how many [leaking] tanks they have? Don't even get me started on their infantry... [Most of them soldiers are underfed, under trained conscripts, who have been given rusty bayonets without being told on what end it should be attached!] And the rockets... [Leaking everywhere... Wouldn't want to stay there after a battle, too damn slippery I say]". As you can see, the meaning was slightly altered by omitting crucial parts...

The spokesman also told the local populations to remain calm, and if they consider it needed, transports and accommodation will be offered to anyone willing to visit family or friends, as usual, in an ordered manner, but there was absolutely no need for panic or any fear to have in the immediate future.

"Picnic they said? Damn right, we'll help them with pushing up the daisies if they like" said a soldier arriving from the train station for "additional field training".

It should be repeated that the vast armies of the Warsaw Pact are of course maintained in a purely defensive nature, being ready to render assistance and co-operation to any people willing to join the International Socialist Brotherhood. Peaceful nations have nothing to fear from the Central Group of Forces.

"Bullet-proof vests, minefield detectors, food supplies for a year [equivalent of 10 Bolshevik years] and prayers will be provided to citizens attempting to cross the wall of Berlin from west to east, for humanitarian reasons" says the NATO's spokesman.

"Protection, new identities and jobs will be provided for USSR oppressed populations of the SBZ crossing the border towards the West" added de Chancellor.

Top Story Tonight... The President Of The United States has given the green light for the largest miltary buildup in Europe since World War II and the Berlin Airlift, He has ordered 750,000 troops, armor and aircraft to be stationed in and around the potential hotspots in Germany and other key strongholds along the West East border by the end of this week. The president claims that this move is to prevent World War III but most analysts feel that this will be the spark that will ignite this into a World Wide conflict.. More at 11!!!

Speaking from the grounds of Prague Castle, Soviet and Czechoslovak military spokesmen denounced 'unprecedented war-mongering from the American militarists and their neo-fascist European lap dogs'. In Moscow, the morning edition of PRAVDA ran headlines boasting of the Warsaw Pact's ability to ensure peace and prosperity for all the workers of the world.

In response to rising East-West tensions and fears of open conflict, left-leaning worker and student groups begin strikes in cities across Western Europe, frequently clashing with riot police.

A British spy reported "Logistical preparations that are way over simple exercises". British government therefore raises the UK Threat level from Heightened to Substantial, and places its troops placed on the German border on High alert, urging its allies to do the same. High officials in a visit in Berlin and all non military personnel stationed there are evacuated. Roadblocks are set in the whole British sector and curfew is in place. The British ambassador starts negotiations to prevent an escalation.
