SCENARIO: The high tech Eastern Bloc has become
alarmed at the appearance of major upgrades to a frontier airstrip
by the perfidious Western Coalition. The High Council has decided
that a raid in force upon this provocative airbase before it becomes
fully functional is a proper, measured response. The planned raid
has been pushed ahead as reports of the creation of a firebase in
the area has been recently learned. Unknown to East Bloc
intelligence Western Coalition Force Command has pushed a rapid
response force into the area unfortunately they are a Line force
with second line equipment. Who will earn bragging rights in this
game of military brinkmanship?

thier soil stepped on by the boots of the invader as the counter

the last couple of years have forged an army that can fight the
