Amarillo in The House of Daniel[]

The second game Jack Spivey played with the House of Daniel was in Amarillo against the Metros.[1]

Amarillo in Southern Victory[]

Amarillo was a city in the Confederate state of Texas. After the Great War, Amarillo was part of Houston, a state created by the United States. As part of the Richmond Agreement, Amarillo and the rest of Houston returned to Texas in 1940.

During the Second Great War, U.S. General Abner Dowling and Colonel Terry DeFrancis considered an attack that would leave Amarillo isolated. Dowling liked the military implications of the attack, but decided a continued drive on Camp Determination would have more political value, and so would do more for the U.S. war effort.

Amarillo in Worldwar[]

By 1966, invasive Tau Cetian plant life from Race-controlled Mexico had crossed the American border and spread as far as Amarillo.[2]
