Carstairs orders covert dispersal

The Resistance Tactical Map Flags are the tactile manifestations of the resistance’s strategic intelligence, each one placed with precision as Carstairs and Russell confirm enemy movements. The flags for the Russo-Japanese War and 30 Years War zones are added during the event, their placement marking the enemy’s reactive overstretch and the resistance’s success in baiting them. Zoe’s approval of the enemy’s disarray ('Oh, good. That's more like it.') highlights the flags’ role in visualizing the campaign’s progress. Their functional purpose is to track the enemy’s responses, but their narrative role is to reinforce the resistance’s confidence and the inevitability of Phase Two. As the flags accumulate, they symbolize the resistance’s growing control over the battlefield, even as the team prepares to fragment.

Before: Some flags are already placed on the map, indicating earlier enemy movements or resistance operations, but gaps remain as new reports come in.

After: Fully placed, marking the enemy’s overstretched positions across multiple war zones. Their role in the event is complete, but they may be left behind as the team disperses, their tactical value fulfilled.
