The recon units we sent to the Coals finally sent word, and it doesn't look good. From the cryptic letter we received, they don't feel as though they've made much headway; they're not fully trusted by the group.
Also, they say the Coals consider their territory to be much larger than we originally thought, stretching from the railroad tracks in the east to Racho in the west and as far north as the airport.
They've heard bragging that there are still working aircraft sitting on the runway, which the Coals secretly keep in excellent shape.
If it's true that our units have been marked, and they're being kept around to leak information back to us, then the intel is suspect, and I doff my hat to the brains behind the plot. But, if it's all true, than they have more land than any other organized faction we've yet come across, and they're certainly the only ones in the valley with air support.
We've elected to send a couple units to scout the perimeter around Rancho and Washington, an area we previously assumed to be overrun and useless. I'll be taking the team out in about three hours and returning when I can.
If it's a trap, I'd rather lead the kids into it myself, rather than watch the net drop from the safety of a command tent.
Your move, Coals.
