Campaign Setup (February 2026):
- NATO was set to formally approve Georgian acceptance at noon today; but after last night – who knows…
- Small advance team of supplies, tankers, AWACS, and defense assets (including us) landed at Kobuleti overnight to begin process of integrating Georgian systems into the alliance.
- 1x Patriot (with Avenger and NASAM support) deployed just north of Senaki and 1x HAWK deployed between Gudata and Sukhumi.
- Any air defenses within Russian range can be targeted.
- Georgian Forces:
- 12 Helicopters.
- 2 Su-25 Close Air Support jets.
- Light armor and infantry near borders. Insufficient to hold off a meaningful Russian column, but can slow them down and let us know something is coming.
- 00:00 Local time: Although silent through most of the last several months, Russia launched an overnight assault on all of Georgia’s high-altitude observation bases in the Caucasus and fortified many of their own with artillery and point defense units. Russian artillery shells are raining down across the Georgian countryside.
- Only 1 Georgian base in the mountain remains (WPT 19); special ops helicoptered a few Avengers up to it overnight for short range defense.
- Russia has effectively shut down Georgian skies with two SA-5 units located far north of the mountains within range of northern Georgia’s skies (especially at high altitudes).
- Willingness to engage is unknown, but all commercial traffic is grounded as Tin Shields are spiking anything they can.
- Locations and point defense abilities unknown.
- Russian jets patrolling the mountain border with SA-5 coverage above and anticipated SA-15 coverage below; a very deadly combination. Georgia holds its breath for the death-blow…
- Objective: Destroy all Russian-occupied Caucasus mountain artillery bases. No mission limit.
- ROE: Weapons Free / Open Conflict.
- Threat Assessment: Full Russian arsenal (air/sea/ground), threats can come from anywhere except Turkey (will always launch from a Russian airbase or carrier though). Expect to be engaged relatively quickly after take-off - the Russians know what we're there to do, we're not sneaking up on them.
- Assets/Weapon Restrictions:
- 2 Tankers (with 1 pair of escorting jets each)
- 1 AWACS.
- No weapons restrictions (however, no carrier strike force available).
- 1x Patriot (Avenger and NASAM Support)
- 1x HAWK.
- Squirrel can move between missions, if alive.
- Assets are considered ‘safe’ (i.e. game state is frozen) when they're landed AND the last of our jets touches a runway or crashes (non-suicide). Therefore, overseeing the return of Tanker/AWACS assets is important at the end of a mission.
- Initial Setup: Mountain bases are WPTs 1-20, WPT #19 is the sole surviving friendly base. WPT #21 is the northernmost extent of current Patriot Range. Changes upon request. All logistics/comms standard.
- You will receive de-confliction notices when you move in and out of Patriot/HAWK range.
- Known Threats: SA-5, Mig 29, SA-15, Artillery, AAA. However, the full Russian arsenal is just north of the mountains, so anything can happen.
- BULLS: WPT 1; NOBODY FLY TO WPT 1. Bulls is located north-central Georgia, almost to the line of artillery bases.
- Texaco: 251.000 / Aux #2 for F18s

- All airbases in Georgia are friendly and have fuel, however only Sukhumi, Senaki and Kobuleti have weaponry.
- Weather / Time: Light clouds, 8am departure.
