Chapter 11: Union
As the days turned to weeks the refugees moving into the battleground states started to dwindle. Miles was the first one into Cheyenne, at the head of a column of frightened civilians. His group quickly distanced themselves from the city and set up a fort within sight of the urbanised area
A few days later came newly appointed commander Ryder and co-commander Helman at the leaded of a mechanised force of survivors from Austin. They were battered and bruised but did not show any weakness as they rolled in. Ryder took his men to Miles' fort and reinforced it while Helman moved to the fore front of Cheyenne
For a number of weeks the command structure was in tatters and the various forts broke apart from each other then developed loose alliances with the capital city in the centre. This created a political situation as the Exclamber seemingly lost their fire for advance and simple skirmished along the borders having being beaten back during a full scale attack.
