 * Statistics:
 * Weapons:
 * Firearms: 1,020 firearms. Some of them are modified or came as automatic through smuggling, acquisition from households or bought from the black market. They are primarily of various make and design.
 * Other Ranged Equipment: Roughly 1,600 homemade molotov cocktails/petrol bombs used to target Confederate soldiers and pro-Confederate law enforcement to set them on fire. 23 hunting bows and 2 crossbows are used for distraction.
 * Explosives: 3 successfully made remote bombs (2 used for diversion of Confederate troops in Detroit)
 * Melee: 570 kitchen knives, 30 Swiss Army knives and 2 military-styled or hunting knives used for melee and close combat.
 * Cities: This is for reference and I do these statistics because they help me calculate the final population as of 2008.
 * Flint: 65,000 (50,000 remaining [whites only] + 15,000 Detroit refugees)
 * Detroit (estimated, not final as FFF does not control Detroit): 153,000 (I drew a rudimentary shape of outer Detroit to calculate the population of that area using this as a source. I calculated using a formula that 70% of people from Detroit fled and that Detroit by 1993 was 75% black: 2,045,872 * 0.3 * 0.25)
 * Diplomacy:
 * Detroit rebels: The FFF supports the Detroit rebels by sending more letters and messages to boost morale, which is released in larger numbers. They also still expect some of them to join the FFF once both the rebels and the FFF secure the rest of Detroit.
 * Reconnaissance: N/A
 * Events:
 * Nobody Wanted To Go There, pt. 3: The FFF's push to Detroit is getting even more easy with more militants recruited through encouragement and propaganda messages sent to smaller settlements. Aside from Confederate patrols, they apparently didn't have strong presence in Detroit, aside from occasional guards in Detroit, meant to be protecting Detroit and forcing former residents to visit it by giving them legal visas. The FFF obtained those visas, but it is still a precautionary measure and reports of rebellion has made it easier to put them away. The stages of acquiring Detroit is split into three:
 * Stage 1 (Q2-Q3 2008): Get close to Detroit as much as possible (after expanding and pushing further to the east), acquire and forge visas to access Detroit as a precaution. (Successful)
 * Stage 2 (Q4 2008): Count the population of what remains of Detroit (since most have fled on 1993), recruit those disgruntled and angered by the Confederacy into the FFF. Exploration of Core Detroit will be done by select few militants with gas masks before moving forward in securing Detroit's surroindings. (In Progress)
 * Stage 3 (est. Q1-Q2/Q3 2009): Occupy the rest of the 'insecure' part of eastern Michigan and outer Detroit before moving onto Saginaw, Ann Arbor and Lansing. Core Detroit would also need to be secured as well by surrounding the city, while the Canadian side of the Detroit metropolitan area, Windsor, will not be scouted or occupied since it is controlled by a fascist Canada, not the Confederacy.
 * Bowling for Detroit, pt. 2: With another rebellion in Detroit set upon to join the FFF later on, messages to join and encourage rebellion against the Confederacy in the outer parts of Detroit are sent in numbers through the FFF's informers. These messages not only spread anti-Confederacy sentiment, they also encourage the recruitment into the FFF and boost morale and confidence of people that the Confederacy is weak and do not wish to invest into Detroit for other places. Pontiac by late November 2008 is seized by the FFF, a sign that the FFF has arrived at the outer suburbs of Detroit. Two bombs were also detonated against Confederate posts throughout December, all of them to gain attention and to destroy one of their bases 'established' to patrol and keep the contaminated zone of core Detroit away from 'trespassers' without their legal visas. It is expected that by the end of the year, the northern part of outer Detroit's suburbs would capitulate to the FFF with the assistance of some Detroit rebels.
 * Westward Plans: On December 2008, propaganda messages and letters were sent to Ann Arbor, indicating that they will arrive as soon as the rest of Detroit is secured. In a meeting on 26th December 2019, a day after the so-called Fahrenheit 12/25 event, a plan to take on Lansing, the state capital is being considered. The FFF's primary goal is to seize the state capital to demoralise the Confederacy's presence in Michigan and consolidate the legitimacy of the FFF's control over Michigan and their intentions. A secondary goal and is highly prioritised right after phase 3 is taking on Saginaw and Bay City, which will give a platform of taking Lansing by 2009.
 * Fahrenheit 12/25: As Christmas dawns on Flint, 24th-25th December 2008 became the moment where burning works of Thalmann, other Confederate officials and Nazis near the Flint Public Library were made. Antisemitic works are also burnt too, so The International Jew, The Eternal Jew and The Poisonous Mushroom (an antisemitic Nazi children's book published in late 1930s) are purged as well, despite the fact that Jews were virtually gone in the world but in New York and any pocket areas. The event was long overdue. Many of those who own these books gave up them to the FFF when they took over Flint; those that didn't were asked to give it up and encourage them to throw them away within two months with a notice. If not, they would force confiscation of such media two months after being given a notice. Any remaining ones not burnt (>98% of them) were then restricted from the public. The FFF vowed to repeat these events again annually on any works written by Thalmann, other Confederate officials and Nazis, along with any antisemitic and 'potentially dangerous' material. It will need to be moved to other towns and cities that they captured, as burning these books and media in the same place is fruitless and takes logistics and time to relocate everything at once.
 * The Role of a Mayor: Although it is too early to see Flint having a full functioning administration even nine months after a long battle to take over town, the FFF announces that a new administration will be required next year. So far, the role of being mayor of Flint is vacant, as no-one had been assigned to administer it and it is a lower priority. The requirements to be a mayor is that someone has to be a member of the FFF and shows 'equal, free and fairness' both privately and publicly (but preferably both). The long-term goal is to have a mayor appointed by the end of 2009, even if there has to be a long search to find a good one.
 * Finance (repeat excerpt from previous turns): Any form of looting and tampering of ATMs and banks, along with any valuables like weapons and resources to make bombs are still being made. For budgeting, the FFF will invest in money for munitions and weapons in the black market, but there will be some of it being stored in underground Flint.
