Gen. Rick "Hudson Fox" Shock & Stomp II just took Liberty Island:

Well New Jersey refused our contract for aggressive occupation of their state, which was too be expected and in essence what we really wanted. After the bullshit formalities of war contracts were signed we made our first invasion. The vanguard force which we assembled on the west side docks was moved to battery park, our frist staging area where, once assembled and mortars were in place we stormed the beach head of New Jersey! Now they were not exactly taking us seriously, so we met minimal opposition when taking Liberty Island. In fact there were only a few New York security guards there. We quickly loaded them up and sent them off to a detainment camp for questioning. The beach landing went rather smoothly too. Lobbed over a storm of mortar fire to weaken their defenses and turn the entire coast into a chaotic mess which we used to infiltrate Jersey City. The local militia, after a slow turn around of organization, soon formed and launched a small counter attack. It was fruitless to say the least. We made quick work of them, capturing a few leaders and holding them on Liberty Island. Minimal casualties reported on our end. The death toll for jersey city is still coming in. The taking of Liberty Island was a walk in the park, but the battle for the Bay is far from over.
