Sword In The Sand

For ten years both Saudi Arabia and Yemen have been squabbling over the exact course

of their mutual border, resulting in frequent armed clashes. As both sides re-arm with

state of the art equipment from their respective super power patrons the discovery of rich

oil deposits in the disputed region escalates the tension. Finally, another confrontation on

the border triggers one or both sides to lose patience and the desert reverberates to the

sound of helicopter engines as battle is joined over a ‘line in the sand’.

War Of Independence

Beijing has always considered Taiwan to be part of China and talks between the two to

resolve this have continually broken down. For the Chinese the final straw was the

surprising victory of the Taiwan Independence Party (TIP) in the 2001 elections. The PLA,

having spent the last decade re-equipping with state of the art Russian equipment, sees

a window of opportunity to settle the issue by force of arms and under cover of large

scale naval maneuvers launch a sudden invasion and rapidly seize the northern side of

the island. With the UN Security Council prevented from taking action by the Russian veto

the Americans rush a task force to the area determined to prevent the Chinese from

consolidating their bridgehead.

Task Force Lebanon

The discovery of a plot by terrorists to detonate a nuclear warhead in Baltimore has made

the US determined to renew the war against terrorism. The perpetrators are discovered

to be sheltering in Lebanon and elements of the US 6th Fleet are dispatched to the area.

The Lebanese militias, backed up with Russian hardware supplied through Syria, are

determined to defend their homeland from American incursions and a ‘swift surgical

strike’ soon degenerates into a much wider conflict.
