Hey TSP!
November was a quiet month for the South Pacific Special Forces, likely due to a long pause from sieging in Philippines. We did have two large liberations, however.

Notable Operations
November started off with a pause in sieging in Philippines, with many SPSFers there WA-locked. As a result, the number of detags and defenses this month went down drastically, with the number of updates, defenses, and detags going down by double digits. Finally, after a few weeks of waiting, we struck and Philippines was freed from invaders (you can read more about that here. When the Philippines occupation was finally ending, a new invasion started in The Crown Dependency of Hong Kong, but we liberated it in a few days.
At the end of the month, @ConcreteSlab led us and our Aegis allies on some detags, detagging 31 regions.

Tidal Force Recap
This month marked the revival of the Tidal Force, our off-update defender force. This force is for people who want to participate in the SPSF, but cannot attend update or don’t have Discord. In November, the Tidal Force detagged 5 regions (Andy Moog, The Boys LLC, Aqua Office, Accelerative and The Gunshine State) and had 1 support (The Crown Dependency of Hong Kong). If you are interested in the Tidal Force, then check out this dispatch!

Thanks to everyone who joined the fight to defend this month! All of you are a part of why we are one of the premier defender organizations in NationStates.
