CAMPAIGN SCENARIOS
War Of Independence
From a briefing given to a US aviation unit
Blue Force Briefing (Taiwan/USA)
Gentlemen. You are going to war. You are going to war in fulfilment of a promise. The
promise that we gave to Taiwan that the ‘United States make available to Taiwan such
defense articles and defense services in such quantity as may be necessary to enable
Taiwan to maintain a sufficient self defense capability’.
Sadly, the articles provided have failed to deter Chinese aggression, now it is up to you to
ensure that we do not let the Taiwanese down. The first invasion echelon of the Chinese
Army (PLA) has already formed a bridgehead on the northern part of the island under the
cover of a considerable air umbrella. The second wave can be expected to land shortly and
exploit the initial gains. Taiwanese forces, although putting up a brave resistance are being
overwhelmed, both by numbers and technology. The situation is now critical. Be aware,
there is nothing subtle about the Chinese operation. They have massed their best units in
the area, and ensured that these are equipped with the most modern weapons they can lay
their hands on. It will come as no surprise to you to learn that most of this has been provided
by our old friends the Russians.
Our task force will shortly be entering the combat area and active operations will commence
immediately. Your initial objective is to attack the Chinese bridgehead. It is imperative that
not only is this contained and prevented from consolidating but that the follow on and
support forces are also interdicted and attrited before they reach the main theater. It is
essential that the enemy build-up is hampered to allow time for our reinforcements to reach
the area. Until then gentlemen you will be on your own. With the situation stabilized we can
carefully prepare our own riposte and so restore all of the island to its rightful owners.
Brief your men, prepare your aircraft and … give em hell!
territory yet its leaders have antagonized and insulted us. This perhaps could be borne with
stoicism, for we always said that eventually there would be a peaceful rapprochement
