The Fundamentalist Black Mantis Liberation Front has declared the Port of Sulamaniya their territory. Having gained control over the mountain fortress of Chraden they are now en-route to take over the remainder of the city. US Intervention Troops have taken up base in a nearby village. Among them are an Air Cavalry Division who is preparing to overthrow the harbour area and a deserted airfield as the first part of the allied counter-offensive. Reinforcements on coalition side will be available after all first objectives are fulfilled.
