There's also some flags based on Confederate flags too.[...]
[...]and several variations of 'the State Flag of whatever state Sprinfield in the Simpsons is in', including this one -

You should definitely do that other Simpsons' State flag, the one with a Confederate flag in it (Why is that even on it - we're a Northern State! )

This has so much potential. Hundreds of different factions scrambling for power. I think a lot of these would be unique to each state. Some of the larger factions would obviously be the U.S. Armed Forces, but who do they follow, and would they fight each other. The 9th and 10th Cavalry would be an excellent example, would they revolt if the Army follows a pro-fascist course. The CCC, Labor Unions, communists, anarchists, the KKK, Silver Shirts, and other fascists. Heck, the American Legion, Cox's Army, Oddfellows, Masons, Daughters of the American Revolution even. Henry Ford could be a supporter of the Fascists, easily producing vehicles, weapons, and sending forces out across America via his small private air force of ford tri-motors to stir up trouble, secure strategic resources, and help out in trouble spots. Why not even have Adolf send over some military advisers to help old Henry out. German subs in the Great Lakes, Italo Balbo and his flying boats doing commando style raids on the east coast. The Japanese using the occasion to move in on some U.S. territory, Hawaii, the Philippines, maybe even the Panama Canal. Why not have MacArthur making a deal with the Japanese (oh the irony) to help secure an unruly west coast, while he deals with the east, all in exchange for some much needed oil to run the Japanese war machine. French Foreign Legion, and the French Expeditionary force landing in New Orleans (where else). The roads are still in poor shape, and not likely to get fixed anytime soon, lots of horse cavalry put back into action. Fighting over the Texas-Oklahoma oil fields, West Virginia coal mines, and various industrial centers. The fledgling civilian aircraft business converted to war production, by putting guns on existing civilian planes. The 99's flying combat missions and air support (some air combat would be an interesting side on occasion).

sorry, just brain storming.

Lots of cool things that could be done with this setting.

I've got the JDF finished, a lot of militia done, and some Chicago Police with a paddy wagon. I've ordered some skull and crossbones from Company B  to use on the Black Legion, I need to finish painting a school and a farmhouse, and I need more militia with shotguns. I also have some marines to paint up and I really need to order some more BUF for the Black Legion troopers.

I'll be delayed because I need to finish a few things for a couple games I'm running (non-VACW) at Winter War 40 in Champaign, IL in late January.

I almost forgot. The environmental disaster that is the Dust Bowl was in full swing. Immigrants fleeing the plains states. The Okies flooding California.

A good bit on the U.S. military during the Inter-war period here.

Well you know I am still interested. And other I talk to locally are interested. But they turn around spend their money on the newest GW offering, so not much Joy.  :(

That's always been the biggest issue locally... Although I can blame Warmachine, Bolt Action and Flames of War just as much in my neck of the woods.

I've realised the trick with any project is just to buy enough to game both sides myself, and rope in other gamers to use my figures.
