what happened to the bear?

in the story I posted the other day the Russians disappear. However it is clear that such a force could not simply go and never be seen again. so I have decided that this Russian force must reappear at some point during the height of the civil war! so any way lets form a plot line. (in story fashion)

Dear Juan
It is clear that the force of men you encountered must have escaped to the west of your position towards the other valley here is a map to show the relative movements blue representing your force as it headed to deal with whatever your squad faced and the movement that those foes your squad faced mus have gone.

the red zone is where the battle took place

it is clear they must have held a ridge up on the west side of the valley as there is no way they could have encountered your force if they were on the north or south of valley. according to your troops the helicopters (Hinds according to some) came around the valleys bend in the north there fore there must be some form of an encampment in that area. it seems clear that the ridge line must have been turned into a look out post watching movement up the valley and even looking at the town. local tribes have found evidence of fortification in the area and the jungle provides such a great cloak that even a decent sized base could be hidden in the region. I have compiled another map showing the route that according to the tribes in the area any force must have taken in yellow, red represents the locations of what have been deemed fortified posts (including the ridge) the highlighted area must be where the base is hidden as no tribal peoples have been there for a long time due to disappearances, blue is the most likely location for either the camp or some outposts of it. the black line is the route the hinds must have come from.

red= fortification. highlighted area is possible location of a camp. blue is where the fort most likely is. black is direction hinds came from and yellow is the escape route for the force.

it is clear from this map at least that there could be a substantial force hidden in this area and that we need to do something. unfortunately in the past years since this skirmish our once proud nation has broken in half and is engulfed in turmoil that appears to have originated in this area... I am under the impression that the missing army that has returned to bring us down must have hidden around here... though they did not go into that region with helicopters. though reports from the beleaguered capital have reported hinds. so maybe they picked them up from somewhere... perhaps this force of foreign (apparently) soldiers sold them to our foes and we should do our utmost to try and find out who they are. If they were from the Soviet Union our allies in the west must be told as surely any force from that area means to overthrow our government and install a communist one! Unfortunately this region is a hotbed of rebel activity so we may not be able to send a force in. however  there is one unit that could do the job... Los Angeles Negros!

best of luck Juan, I know you are under intense bombardment in the capital but maybe you can find a way out then you and I can do our best to get to the bottom of this dangerous event!
