After destroying the radiers and establishing a base and trading post at the river's mouth people came from all around to trade. Many saw the Reich's presence as a sense of security from raiders elsewhere and took up residence nearby electing to be registered and join the Reich. After the road to Port Huron/Sarnia was secured multiple division were sent into the 'Thumb' to secure it for the Reich. It was a prime objective due to expansive farm land to feed the army. There were multiple small farming comunities that quickly submitted to the Reich, some reluctantly others gratefully. Many super mutants, ghouls and raiders were put down, and due to superior training and firepower very few soldiers were killed. The soldiers learned of new settlements at each town they came too eventually making it to old 46. Perhaps the biggest find of them all was multiple Poseidon Energy wind turbines. Just one of these could power all of the Reich Capital, if it could be repaired. Due to the sparse population there was 1173 people added to the Reich. Also those who moved to Sarnia totalled to 207. Total kills were 127 mutants, 354 ghouls, and 279 raiders. Total casualities were 27 dead and 184 wounded.

After the divisions in the thumb had been resupplied and reinforced with another division they were given the order to take the more heavily populated tip on the thumb. After hearing of the slaughter of the raider gangs in Flin many raider fled, some joined the Reich and the others waited to fight. Naturally they were no match for the Reichtroopers. As they went from town to town much like before the residence could not resist so submitted. Those who didn't were publicly punished. More wind turbines were discovered as well. When they made it to Port Austin they found it was infested with Mirelurks. As they atempted to secure the town one after another sprang from the ground. After losing 67 men, due to inexperience fighting Mirelurks, most of them were dead. But then a mother of all Mirelurks emerged from the lake just off the shore and charged into the town. She spit poison everywhere and it ate at the flesh of anyone it touched. Her giant mandables piercing right through a man. The soldiers just kept shooting fighting for their lives. When it seemed like it would never go down the bazooka crew that was in a different part of town arrived and with one well placed bazooka shot to the face it gave out a loud cry and plummeted with a loud crash. When the town could be safely explored they found an old Air Force radar surveillance system. Knowing this would be very benificial to the Reich it was disassembled by Reich engineers and brought back to New Franken. In all 103 men were killed and 47 wounded. 4,141 civilians, and 102 radiers were added to the Reich. 2,122 raiders, 147 mutants, 1,498 ghouls and 567 mirelurks were killed.
