The PF report does not give us a lot of clues. It would seem logical that the whole force start as a different nation, perhaps as the REF of a European nation that has withdrawn from the New World, although if Col1 used Denmark perhaps we should just pick some other non-standard entity (Scotland?, Hanseatic League?, Holy Roman Empire?). I suspect we are going to need another AI Mission to handle this (I am just revising IndianBringGiftMission and IndianDemandMission which have some similarities). Cheers, Mike Pope
