The Confederate incursion into Kentucky was viewed as an international quagmire by most. The Federal government of Des Moines, already embarrassed by the failures to contain the Georgian military in 1955, had but all relented control of the Southern half of the United States to the farthest guarantee of Confederate revanchist conviction. But Operation Sabot was more than just wresting control of Kentucky to annex into the fold of the Confederacy; it was an exercise in displaying the full power and nous of the Confederate military. On November 1st of 1957, General Robert Felix ordered a full-scale, month-long submarine campaign against the Halleck government of DC, primarily targeting the shipment of resources from Montana to the port of Fairfax.

On the ground, the march to Louisville continued without a single peep from the erratic and capricious army of Kentucky. Confederate soldiers swept across slices of the country effortlessly, and without protest. To them, it seemed as though there would be no great, glorious recapture of Louisville, but that the city would fall simply by the tip of their thumb. The Georgian Recon Squadron couldn’t even pick up on a single identifiable enemy unit within the surrounding areas of capture, leaving many confused as to where the Shermanite army even was.
