Armored Piercing Operations

I'm close to 80 pages on the AP3 outline. I made a lot of progress since my last update and I'm nearing the end of the Germany segment of the book. In the original draft, nearly half of the book took place in that country. A major character died in the end of the Hamburg arc, but for the outline I decided to keep them alive and bring them for Berlin, the last arc in Germany. I also chose to redo how another group of characters get introduced. I think things will get a lot easier once I get past Germany.

I have to be vague because a lot of things happen in this book. There isn't any way you would be able to predict what happens next after reading the first two AP books.

So I'm about 60 pages into the outline for AP3. This covers about the first 850 pages of the original draft. I'm making progress everyday and I hope to get it done later this year. Though, I don't always make a lot of progress each day. I tend to spend at least 30 minutes sitting at my desk trying to figure out what to write next. This is the difficulty of writing under heavy constraints.

I last left off in the middle of an action scene. This is the last major battle in Hamburg, Germany. The characters have gone through many trials to combat a major "General" of sorts who works for Merlov Krachenko. I can't go into more specifics without going into spoiler territory. The last thing you are likely familiar with is Sipho and team flying in Petrenko's jet in England, and that jet getting shot down. Maybe…
