The time is soon upon us for the last campaign in this year. Thanks to [user avatar=“https://assets-cloud.enjin.com/users/20142018/avatar/small.1570658998.jpeg” name=“Sagu”]20142018[/user] I was able to swap time slots with him, and now the 2035 campaign will span over the month of October instead.
A few notes about this campaign specifically:
- This campaign partly exists to test the 8-man squad structure at the request of the Ssgt’s. This means that we are hoping for about 17 players per mission (1 PLT, Alpha, Bravo) to test this. If you can make it, please do!
- Of course not everything will be infantry action. There are plenty of assets, and if we have more players we’ll bust out some more toys. Look forward to some Apache action if numbers allow for it.
- This campaign also exists for slightly more realism than usual. That means fighting a near-peer enemy force, no random zeus spawning of enemies, and all the toys and intel a modern NATO force would be used to.
Below you will find the overview for the campaign. All the tactical planning will be done by CNTO members, and the first 2 mission nights have already been planned, but another 3 remain. If you would like to participate in the planning, reach out to me.
But without further ado:
Overview
The leftover tensions between Russia and its immediate neighbours has seen the entire surrounding region destabilised, including the Aegean Sea. Old enmnities between Turkey and Greece have flared up, and the formation of CSAT as a third actor has raised tensions across the entire world. Its in this powderkeg environment that a chain of islands has declared its independence: The Republic of Altis.
Possibly funded by Russia, the Republic of Altis instigated a military coup and has now established a foothold on three islands: Altis, Bozcaada, and Stratis. A nearby fourth island, Malden, is undergoing its own civil war between the FIA and the Malden Republic, with the FIA being directly sponsored by Altis. Slowly but surely, the entire surrounding islands will spiral into chaos, possibly igniting a larger war between Turkey and Greece, both of whom are NATO countries.
Mission
Both Greece and Turkey have agreed to hand over the military matter to NATO as a whole in order to avoid a potential escalation and the possibility of war. You are part of Task Force 277, a NATO naval force that has been dispatched from Gibraltar to quickly deal with the upstart Altisians.
Your mission is to capture Bozcaada and Stratis, prevent a FIA uprising on Malden, and ultimately return the island of Altis to Greece.
