First Bearcat almost done.

Working hard on the Bearcats, but I have hit a snag. Do I finish them with the Landing struts down? Do I do it with the Struts up? Or come up with some way to put them down or up depending on what role they are playing?

I plane on getting some telescoping magnets so that I can use them for terrain on the table and as actively fly units in the games.

One done for now, time to work on number two and the AN-2.

Some updates on Cascadia

I am going to do some Changes for the military background.
The Navies F18 growler fighter wing, one F18 Hornet Fighter wings and will go to the Air Force.

The C-40 Clipper Squadron will Also got into the Air forces First Logistics command wing.


Leavening the Navy with its helicopters, one F18 Hornet Fighter wing and one F18 growler fighter wing.

The Air force will have its name changed to the Cascadian Air Defense Corp, Army to Cascadian Defense Forces and Navy to Cascadian Maritime Defense Force.
The ADC also Fall's under the CDF as the over all command branch. But it gets its own funding and like how the USMC is separated from the navy.

the ADC strength now stands at.

First Theater command wing.
1 F-15 Strike Eagle Fighter Wing
2 F-15 C/D fighter Wings
1 A-10 Fighter Wing
1 F18 growler fighter wing
1 F18 Hornet Fighter wings
1 JATC Forward Air Controller wing.
1 F-22 Squadron (being made into a wing once the rest of the planes arrive and pilots complete there training)

Drones are also being fully being used but I honestly don't know much about them so will have to look it what is plausible before I add them to the roster.

First Logistics command wing
Will consist of
1 C-40 Clipper Squadron (used as a more comfortable transport for military in a none tactical environment and often used for diplomatic missions.
2 C-17 Wings (One active/one Reserve)
1 C-130 Air lift Wing
2 Refueler Kc-135 Stratonker. (one Active/ one Reserve)
2 C-17 Wings (One Active/ One Reserve)
1 P-3 Orion Squadron

The ADC is experimenting with using civilian model or military model transports as drone carriers.

My finally change is that Medical, Supplies, logistics, communication..etc all go to the same school's. So the Logistics Corp members are just as likely to find them self's working on an Airfield, a CDF Camp or a Navy Cutter.
With only the combat and force specific job specialties having their own separate schools.

The CDF and MDF basic training is 8 weeks. This of course is an interdiction to the military and it way of life. The Ground combat school is where all Riflemen, Infantry and Navy infantry learn their trade before going to armor, mech, commando or Ranger training.

Cascadian Airforce

The Cascadian Air force is also well equipped with legacy Air Craft. While working deals with Boeing to accrue new F-22s they are still adequately set to defend their airspace and to even project force if need be.

The old Oregon Guard provided them With 2 Fighter Wings of F-15 C/D air supremacy Fighters.

Montana's old Guard contributed an Air Lift Wing of C-130 Hercules

Idaho Air National Guard provides an A-10 fighter wing along with a Jatac squadron of Forward air controllers.

And Finally Washington's Air Guard provide an Air re-fueler wing along with a logistics and Theater command wing.

The Aircraft provided by the Active air force consisted of 2 C-17 Wings, 1 F-15 Strike Eagle wing, and one more Refuler Wing with Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker

So that leave Cascadia air force with.

Cascadian Ministry of Air Defense.
First Theater command wing.
1 F-15 Strike Eagle Fighter Wing
2 F-15 C/D fighter Wings
1 A-10 Fighter Wing

I JATC Forward Air Controller wing.
1 F-22 Squadron (being made into a wing once the rest of the planes arrive and pilots complete there training)

First Logistics command wing.

1 C-130 Air lift Wing
2 Refuler Kc-135 Stratonker. (one Active/ one Reserve)
2 C-17 Wings (One Active/ One Reserve)

A lot smaller then some of the other commands but That is what I have at the moment. I am thinking I will also look at what Japan and the smaller Territories the US controls in the Pacific to come see if any thing else can be scrounged. I am hanging with the idea that Hawaii will all but become part of the New Cal Rep. But Maybe as a protectorate or kind of a commonwealth/Federation thing. With all the outer Territories also forming being drawn in. They don't feel like being absorbed by china or Japan ether, so having a alliance Guaranty with ether Australia, California and Cascadia might be a good idea.
