New York (Reuters) - The UN got together earlier today after the North invaded South Podagorsk. During the emergency session they came up with resolution #1442. Many people fear that this resolution will only strengthen the belief of the North to continue their actions.

London (Reuters) - Only a few hours after the audacious assault, the South Podagorsk Army has once again taken up defensive positions, this time much closer to the capital of Berezniki. The PLA and Russian forces it seems are holding short for the moment and  earlier today they were seen to be building defensive positions of their own. It is likely that their main force is still in reserve and that this incursion is nothing more than a probe to test the waters. Read more

Berezniki (Reuters) - the Podagorsk goverment has decided to issue a curfew for all her citizens. This decision is a response to the increasing criminal activity within the South Podagorsk borders.

Berezniki (Reuters) - Crime is at an all-time high. Police reports indicate an increase of at least 50% over the last few weeks. Armed assault and kidnapping are two of the reasons directly responsible for this crime wave. Insurgents have been crossing into South Podagorsk and our citizens suffer at their hands. Meanwhile leaders of the communities are wondering what can be done to stem this tide. When asked the Chief of police said; “We will do everything in its power to ensure the safety of our citizens – even if this includes issuing a curfew. With a curfew in place we can begin taking on these insurgents.” The government will decide later this week if a curfew will be in put into effect.

The downside of a curfew is that commerce will grind to a halt throughout the South, and the financial loss could very well put the citizens before a difficult choice; either stick with the South or move to North. Either way it does not look good for them should this scenario play out like this. We will keep you updated as the story continues.

Now with the situation getting worse in Podagorsk it is almost 100% sure that we will be used to reinforce the ground forces. We may even be among the first who put boots on the ground. This means that we need all ORC members to be aware of the Rules of Engagement for the upcoming operations in Podagorsk. Team leaders make sure you have read the complete Rules of Engagement, all members need to be at least aware of Annex A.

Annex A
