Overview
A 6 week casual campaign for World War 3: Team Yankee players across Singapore. Play at Either Blitzminis, Battle Quarters@epidemix or Geylang Serai Community centre and score points for either NATO, The Soviet union or contribute to world chaos in 2 different theatres!
The Soviet union launches a daring and reckless 2-pronged assault in American soil on both the west and east coast, hoping to rapidly capture and disable military bases as a prelude to landing more troops if beachheads can be established. Caught off guard, American troops and militia must defend tooth and nail against this act of aggression and fight for freedom! Enlisting the aid of seasoned Cuban troops, Soviet forces land in both California and Florida and begin the invasion of the homeland.
A note on using other nation's forces:
Players are encouraged to use "historical" forces as defined by the scenario in the invasion of America. However, to represent hypothetical scenarios or training exercises held by other nations they may use any other nations allowed for the campaign. Any games played not using the "historical" forces will instead contribute to the [World panic score] (detailed below) which has major implications for upcoming phases of the campaign.
