The American state of Maine, despite it's relatively small population, was not spared from Soviet attack during Doomsday. Portland, Brunswick (Naval Air Station Brunswick), Bath (Bath Iron Works) and Limestone (Loring Air Force Base) were all targeted causing massive devastation to the region. The town of Kittery was also devastated from the bomb that hit nearby Portsmouth, New Hampshire. This sent refugees from the areas hit toward Augusta, the state capitol, where the state government organized refugee camps. The refugees, however, put too much strain on government’s ability and soon fighting broke out between various factions over the scarce resources. An attempt by Governor Joseph E. Brennan to organize a convoy of National Guardsman and State Police to escort state official to norther

abstract
  • The American state of Maine, despite it's relatively small population, was not spared from Soviet attack during Doomsday. Portland, Brunswick (Naval Air Station Brunswick), Bath (Bath Iron Works) and Limestone (Loring Air Force Base) were all targeted causing massive devastation to the region. The town of Kittery was also devastated from the bomb that hit nearby Portsmouth, New Hampshire. This sent refugees from the areas hit toward Augusta, the state capitol, where the state government organized refugee camps. The refugees, however, put too much strain on government’s ability and soon fighting broke out between various factions over the scarce resources. An attempt by Governor Joseph E. Brennan to organize a convoy of National Guardsman and State Police to escort state official to northern Maine was destroyed shortly after they prepared to leave. The majority of the population of Augusta abandoned the city bringing more instability to the surrounding area. Those who remained in Augusta quickly came under the control of various warlords. Meanwhile, the radiation in the area decimated the fishing along the Maine coast. Much of the remaining Maine fishing fleet and other ships, packed with refugees and what supplies they could carry, left the shores to seek refuge somewhere else.
