Sorry for not making my first turn.

Rio Grande Liberation Army: 
 * Backstory: Ever since the depression started, regionalism has been on the rise in different parts of Mexico, the northeast is not the exception. This leads to the formation of the Rio Grande Liberation Army by the former soldier Mamerto Puterto Cantú. The Movement begins in the coastal city of Matamoros, Tamaulipas after Puterto raided the municipal palace and executed the corrupt mayor with 35 of his men. With his connections in the military, Puterto manages to gather enough supplies to begin a decent-sized movement, recruiting thousands pf volunteers. With this, the city of Matamoros is taken by the RGLA, and they are able to move into other cities.
 * Military: The Rio Grande Liberation Army manages to garner an huge amount of troops really quickly because of the people being unhappy with the Mexican goverment because of the depression. The total number of troops is estimated to be 70,000, with 25,000 being meatshields/cannon fodders who barely know how to manage a gun and pew pew stuff. The RGLA also has a couple hundred of trucks and armored vehicles, as well as 2 helicopters, 10 or so tanks, and 1 patrol boat. As for supplies, most of them are acquired at local supermarkets such as Soriana, however we get weapons from raiding military and police facilities, and also from the cartels and street gangs. The favorite weapon of the group is the AK-47, as it is easily found in the region because of the cartels.
 * Movements: After the movement succesfully took over the city of Matamoros, it starts to move towards the west and south, but mostly to the west. The towns of Rio Bravo and Valle Hermoso, located west of Matamoros and with a population of less than 100,000, are easily captured by the RGLA, they pick up a few recruits from the area and prepare to storm the city of Reynosa. Reynosa is invaded in late July, the battle lasts for several weeks due to the presence of the mexican military in the city. The city is finally captured in August.
 * Cities:
 * Matamoros: This is the city where out movement started. Because of this, we get most of our supplies and popular support from here. Regardless of this, the city is still fortified and guarded by 25,000 troops.
 * Rio Bravo-Valle Hermoso (not on map): 5,000 troops are placed in the two towns because of their strategical importance, as they are the key for controlling the Reynosa-Matamoros. Some supplies are also garnered, but not too many as they are small towns.
 * Reynosa: The majority of our troops is located here (35,000) as the city was recently captured. We get lots of supplies from here due to it being bigger than Matamoros and having military facilities.
 * Special Moves:
 * Sell Drugs: We create an undergound cell of our movement and start selling a variety of drugs (mostly weed) in order to increase our income. This is only done at a local level though, since we agreed on not sending drugs to the other side of the border.
 * Intercept Enemy Convoys: We intercept enemy convoys coming from the Reynosa-Monterrey highway, allowing us to get additional supplies.
 * Diplomacy:
 * San Diego Rebels: We accept alliance for no particular reason.
 * Texas: We agree on not smuggling drugs into their territories in exchange of signing a non-aggresion pact.
 * Nuevo Laredo Municipality: 3 of our men are sent to the city of Nuevo Laredo in order to negotiate with the mayor. They try to convince the mayor of joining the movement, he is promised an important goverment position when the war is over, and we also try to bribe him into accepting by offering him money.
