The world has changed. In 2021, China’s economy crashed and the Western markets followed. Millions found themselves without the basics they had lived with for years. Austerity ran rampant. In 2023, Oil wells in the Middle East and the US ran dry. Within six months, every nation in the world was in a desperate struggle to hold onto anything they could get their hands on. High tensions and economic instability forced the UK back into the fold of the EU, which was now vying to become a federal superpower on par with Russia and the US. In 2026, China was forced to launch an unprecedented and desperate invasion on Russian soil, in an attempt to grab what little reserves remained to quell the uprisings happening internally. The Russians, surprised and without much mechanized help, were pushed back quickly and effectively by the Chinese. Within 4 months, Russian Leaders were in conference rooms in Brussels, brokering an alliance that would help their country survive. The EU agreed knowing that Russia could be used as a barrier country for their own defense, at the cost of souring relations with the US. It’s been three years since that deal was made and the US and the re-branded European Federation have been fighting proxy wars across the globe to secure any and all remaining resources. Two months ago, a survey team on the Isle of Panthera discovered a huge well of oil far below the surface and every major power has their eyes firmly set upon it.
OPORD
I Situation:
The Americans were dug in harder than we anticipated. Our initial success earned us little reward as we hit their second battle line and we have since fallen back. Our forces have dug in and plans for a second attack are already in motion. Task Force Noctem, having succeeded in the capture of the Rubina Islands, setup FOB DIEM and are now tasked with insertion behind the American lines to break the encirclement of the French 23rd Airborne Brigade. The Germans will use the 1st Panzer Division to launch a diversion assault on the Eastern flank, drawing away large numbers of the American forces. The British will also provide a diversionary attack on the Western flank, aiming to ensure that the Americans cannot concentrate at any point. If the prevailing weather conditions falter, as expected, our forces will be ready to launch the coordinated attack at 0600 21st December 2030.
