I'd be interested in taking on the role of the doomed Californians.
Edit: If so, I'd like to know a bit more about the Californians, specifically: population, technological level, level of military/militia, general attitude of the populace (ie: would they try and face the NZDL in conventional-style warfare, or would they be more likely to adopt a guerilla, scorched earth policy).
Also, what would be known about the NZDL and their abilities?
