Balzac State News.
An Air Balzac flight from Erlton/Stampede to Goatland was forced to take evasive action this afternoon off the coast of Camastan when a Mig fighter passed within 500 feet of the airliner.
The Dash 8 with 57 people on board was flying on a normal scheduled flight within a standard airway. The crew reported that the Mig had passed on the port side at several miles away then turned on to a head on coarse at the same altitude.
The crew was forced to pull up, out of their flight level with the Mig passing less then 500 feel below them. One Cabin crew was treated for minor injuries upon landing in Goatland.
The Overseas Office has called in the Camastan Ambassador to explain today's actions since this is not the first time a civil aircraft has had problems off the Camastan coast this year.
Offshore Island disputes between Camastan and Stampede are effecting a major international air route.
"They just can't change the lines on a map when the Great leader gets out off bed on the wrong side in the morning" said the leader of the opposition.
"This is an accident just wanting to happen, the government needs to take action"
The Overseas Office would not comment at this time, Air Balzac said it is to review the route before the next flight.

That is awful, just terrible!
- As the buying agent for several clients: commercial, government and military I do hope that the MV Tim Horton will still be able to make the week deliveries of Fresh Goat Milk and the 4000 tonnes of Goat Meat delivered in Denmark, Netherlands, France and at Scapa Flow and London.
- Would some 'training flights' be suitable in the Baltic region as the MV Tim Horton sails for observation. My military supply officer said that Balzac Rep had purchases new planes for maritime patrol.
- There is the desire to expand/initiate economic trade with Camastan if possible. We can offer design plans for Adobe mud houses, can even provide built, 1 and 2 story Adobe homes. We deny any hint of the suggestion that small arms ammunition has been or will ever be sold or traded.
Just keep the Goat milk and Goat meat deliveries.

Balzac State News.
There seems to have been a major incident at the Naval dockyard in Balzac.
A secure area of the yard believed to be responsible for special coatings (Stealth technology) has been under lock down all evening with a large police and military presence.
The BSDF is not releasing any information.
We did speak to some of the many contractors in the local pub (the Brass Monkey).
None would go on record but one said "It's a very sticky problem that's not getting any better".
All work on 2 hovercraft, 2 ships and a Naval helicopter at the site has been halted.
The nearby Army site with 12 Leopard MBT's also stopped work but seems to not be effected.
And now for the weather and traffic over to Rosey.............
Had a hiccup with my normal spray can grey primmer!
Maybe just a bad/old can but not drying as it should
I had just stripped the Leo's but pretty much ruled out contamination.
Probably some kind of cyber attack by you know who.

The Balzac Defense Forces are looking very nice, effective, at least in appearance. Camastan better watch out. Look at those sleek stealth corvettes, Camastan only has Ginger.....
Mick, nice looking Leopard 2A6s, look familar, I've seem them before, just not sure where. The air-cushion landing craft are great, so is the sub!
I need to get back to work, painting some stuff, CV9030, CV9040, CV9035 for the Dutch. Paint a Virginia, build & paint a 688I, 2 Freedom class ships in 1/350 and an Independence.
To much to do....
Nice buildup.

Nice warm weather in Oct has kept me out and about longer than normal so the BSDF is running behind on the planned restructuring.
On the positive side I now have a large backlog of pewter to keep me going over the next few Months.
I have the basics of what I need for a new balanced force. The shortfall in Naval assets has also been addressed.
The only area that has not gone to plan is my wheeled IFV. I had planned to use the TPZ Fuchs as a XA-203 stand in but have only picked up a few.
I have about 60 GHQ LAV 25/ASLAV and may end up using them without the turrets and add an OWS unless someone has 30 TPZ they would care to swap at 2 to 1!
The peace loving Nation of Balzac will be able to deploy.
7 Group (Operational Maneuver Group).
71 MotorBat (wheeled IFV?)
72 MekBat, 2x Leo 2A6 coy. 2x CV90 coy
4 Group South.
41 MekBat (Reserve) 2x Leo 2A4 coy. 2x M113 coy
42 MekBat 1x Leo 2A6 coy. 1x CV90 coy
18 Group Goatland.
18 MekBat 1x Leo 2A6 coy. 1x CV90 (Planned by Dec 2015) few Leo 2 & M113 seen Oct 2015.
19 Group North.
19 MekBat 1x Leo 2A4 coy. 1x M113/Bv202 coy
2 Amphib Korp
16 AOG (Air Operations Group)
SOG
Many support units are starting to fill out and may be added to the above as required.
Such as A9 Artillery with 2x tracked 155mm Batt, 1x towed 155mm Batt.

BS News.
We believe a change of government may have taken place in Camastan.
"Hopefully a new peaceful future awaits the long repressed people of that poor Nation.
We are watching very closely and will be ready to offer humanitarian assistance if required" the PM said.
Completely unrelated to this, the MV Tim Horton has been under going a project to adapt 60 shipping containers and metal decking to allow the ship to be used in just such situations.
The modification can be added or removed from the ship at short notice.
This Ro- ro ship can then transport or serve as a hospital with fully supported
helicopter capacity. The cargo decks allow for many thousands of tons of supplies to be carried.

Mick,
That looks sooooooo nice, it is really wonderful. great conversion. Your humanitarian preparation planning and effort is to be commended. Have the emergency helos, the tracked vehicles to take food, medical supplies into difficult terrain. I like the MANN tank haulers. Your rapid rescue force looks very nice and capable. I see you left the Centurions in the motor pool, way too slow. Good choice.
Are you prepared for any terrorist activity? Do you suspect any possibility?

What would I fall for...? I will not fall for any trap or ploy, so what is it you are saying I would fall for? I see legitimate humanitarian effort, economic prosperity plans and development. I would like to trade for some goat milk, goat meat and goat eggs, please.
May I get an update on the weather, it is raining hard here this morning, I did not hear about this nor'easter. Then I would like update on traffic please.
Paul, my Aussies a speed bump, it would be equal to two or three speed bumps in secession, What if I augment that force with 500 Ratels, 60 Rooikats, 70 tanks from the SADF. And to added measure, my Canadians, with 100 6x6 Grizzlies, Cougars, 60 LAV25, M113s, 60 Leopards 1 and 70 Leopard 2 A6 M Can. Does that scare you now?
