A Christmas Interlude
Finally home from their long trek the Blackjacks enjoy some downtime and spend the holidays with friends and family in New Zealand.
Finding Valhalla
The Professor returns to Australia with intel about a potential base of operations in the southeast.
Shark Town
The resistance is low on Protoculture again, but Shield has learned that the Invid maintain a major storehouse of fuel cells in the ruins of Brisbane. The 21st must lead a raid deep into Invid held territory to steal as much Protoculture as they can to keep the war effort going, but for one team member a visit to Brisbane brings back tragic long buried memories.
Alliance of Convenience
Back at New Dundee the Blackjacks are presented with a dangerous proposal from a senior member of the Alliance; one that offers them a chance to strike a blow against their common enemy - the Gold Dragons - but that will put the lives of the 21st at risk. Will they accept the offer and the slim chance it gives of forming a bond between the former adversaries?
Jupiter Rising
While 21 Mars has failed in its attack on Reflex Point, Jupiter Division has successfully led resupply missions to several key resistance bases, including Point K and New Zealand.
Spread the Wealth
With New Zealand as the staging point the massive resupply from Jupiter division is distributed to satellite bases in the Oceania theater - Norfolk Island, Valhalla, New Dundee, Overwatch. The Blackjacks provide security for several of the resupply efforts.
Counterstrike
Globally the Invid launch massive strikes against known REF bases of operation like Point K, and New Zealand. The Blackjacks must do their part to stem the wave of enemy forces before they can cross the Tasman Sea and reach the islands.
The REF forces across Australia and New Zealand fought a desperate battle against the Invid forces and were able to hold the line, barely. See the detailed coverage of the battles across the region against the Invid Counterstrike.
Darwin is Burning
Invid forces expand their control of parts of Oceania, which includes a full on assault alongside the Gold Dragons against the Alliance in Darwin. With the Alliance in full retreat south now is the time for the Resistance to convince this powerful military force to join them in the fight against the Invid. Gen. Isaacs orders the Blackjacks to extend the hand of friendship to the Alliance leadership, but are they up to the task?
