I want to runa games set in the days just prior to and the days just after the opening of the Rifts. I am pretty cool about how it will work just before the rifts but following the opening and how to play through those first few minutes is giving me a little hard time. I want the PCs to be on a base and they willl have to protect their families and try to get to the mid west.

Oh by the way... Hey everybody!!!

Peace
James

I am actually using Fort Benning, I had also thought of the leave, just last night actually. That really makes it alot easier to have the base be deserted. I have some cool characters, I have a Para-arcane who joined the service because she was an orphan, she is a **** poor soilder, put shes a bigtime geek and knows all about arcane stuff from years of gaming and geekdom. Then I have a young kid who will become a magic user ( he is the son of an on base mechanic). All the players have not finished there characters but I am going to have a battle and a temporary stalemate at the Chatahochee river. Then a fighting retreat up into the mountains of Tenn. with everything they can salvage and there families. I am going to do a kind of Deliverance kind of thing with hill giants in the mountains.

I am currently working on stats for the Bradley 4 fighting vehicle and the Wagman 2200 Main Battle Tank. I am also going to do some light artiliary.

Can anyone think of a good name for and futuristic attack chopper and a vertical take off multipurpose super fighter?

Peace
James

AS MK has pointed out, those places get wiped out. Read Dinosaur Swamp.

Nobody has mentioned Ft. Hood? Your only about 90-120 miles from Temple, Waco, Austin, College Station/Bryan and several other small metropolitian areas. You laugh, but you have multiple medical schools, three large colleges two of which are 40k plus students, a pretty decent tech industy that becomes Los Alamos, and the US Army III Corps, 1st Cavalry Division, 4th Infantry Division, several active reserve and national guard units, a lack of ley lines, and a lot of land.

Actually 29 Palms is far enough and High enough it is very possible it got ravaged a bit but not wiped out. The High Desert is over 2000 feet above sea level. The tidal wave were 1000 feet tall. they would have broke on the mountains

Some of the better protected Army bases on the East Coast would be:

Ft. Rucker, KY: 101st Infantry (Air Assault), 160th SOAR (Abn), 5th SFG (Abn)

I thought the 101st was at Ft Campbell in KY. Never heard of Ft Rucker, is that a name change or nickname?

Don't forget Ft Knox,KY, armor and lots of Chromium Guardsmen?

Ft. Drum, NY: 10th Infantry (Mountain)

Ft. Benning: elements of the 3rd Infantry (Mech), Infantry School, and two nearby Ranger battalions of the 75th Infantry Regiment (Ranger)

Ft. Bragg: 82nd Infantry (Airborne), 18th Corps (Abn), 3rd and 7th SFGs (Abn), 4th PSYOP Grp (Abn), 96th CA Bn (Abn), USASOC, and the 23 Air Expeditionary Wing. (dicey since Bragg is very close to the line of incoming disasters; but then Bragg has alot of experience in prep'ing for incoming disasters)

Ft. Rucker is in Alabama and is home to the army's aviation school.
What you have listed as Ft. Rucker is in Fact Ft. Cambel.
You also have Ft. Knock Tenn, Home of the Army's Armor School along with the gold depository.

O.K. so we have the Ft. Rucker/Ft. Campbell location straightened out but Ft. Knox home of the armor school and gold depository is in Kentucky just south of Louisville. Either way all interesting places to start.
