Three Army Groups

Three Army Groups Formation The American Army Groups advance north, center, and south across the continent. Method They move as parallel lines rather than racing toward symbolic cities. Purpose The strategy prioritizes complete ground coverage over spectacular victories.

Force Appropriate Response

Force Appropriate Response Scaling Small undead groups are handled by small units while larger threats receive larger responses. Continuity Secondary lines replace sections that halt, preventing gaps in the front. Efficiency The doctrine preserves momentum without wasting an army against isolated targets.

Multithreat Terrain

Multithreat Terrain New Enemies Ferals, Quislings, mines, traps, weather, and human holdouts complicate the campaign. Adaptation The army adds hard covers, armor, animal control, and reconnaissance. Reality Liberation is not a single war but a shifting environment of threats.

Urban Encirclement

Urban Encirclement Sprawl The army clears suburbs and commercial corridors before reaching central cities. Patience Reconnaissance and quarantine precede every assault. Cost The slow approach prevents catastrophic surprises but prolongs exposure and exhaustion.

Atlantic Dawn

Atlantic Dawn Completion The army reaches the Hudson and secures the continental United States. Image Survivors stand before New York as dawn breaks over the ruined city. Ambivalence The scene becomes a victory icon even though those present feel only exhaustion and disbelief.
