| 8 | + <p><strong>Note:</strong> This fictional campaign was designed for the Apache |
| 9 | + and Harrier. It requires manual flight planning. While enemy aircraft are present |
| 10 | + at airfields, there will be no enemy flights as their aircraft are grounded.</p> |
| 11 | + <p> |
| 12 | + In a sudden and alarming escalation of tensions in Cyprus, the Anatolian Order, |
| 13 | + a North Cypriot insurgent faction, has carried out a bold night-time assault on |
| 14 | + three crucial airfields in the Republic of Cyprus; Paphos, Akrotiri, and Larnaca. |
| 15 | + The insurgents, equipped with stolen surplus Turkish military hardware, used |
| 16 | + chemical weapons in their attack, forcing the evacuation of all three airfields. |
| 17 | + Notably, the capture of Akrotiri, a British Overseas Territory hosting a Royal |
| 18 | + Air Force base, has drawn significant international attention and concern.</p> |
| 19 | + <p> |
| 20 | + The EU has strongly condemned this unprovoked attack against one of its member |
| 21 | + states. Turkey, despite its historical connections with North Cyprus, has also |
| 22 | + denounced the Anatolian Order's actions and is investigating how its aircraft, |
| 23 | + ground vehicles, and weaponry held in storage ended up in insurgent hands.</p> |
| 24 | + <p> |
| 25 | + Amidst the crisis, a lone US Navy LHA, strategically positioned in the Aegean Sea, |
| 26 | + is preparing a response to the crisis. Its mission is to deploy Apache helicopters |
| 27 | + to neutralise the hastily erected air defenses around the captured airfields, before |
| 28 | + Harrier jumpjets neutralise the Anatolian Order's aircraft. These aircraft, a |
| 29 | + selection of mothballed Turkish F-4s and helicopters, are currently grounded due to |
| 30 | + lack of suitable fuel and spare parts. It is imperative that they are dealt with |
| 31 | + swiftly before ground troops are air-lifted in to reclaim the airfields.</p> |
| 32 | + <p> |
| 33 | + The operation's final phase involves targeting North Cyprus's only airport at Ercan. |
| 34 | + The plan is to bomb its runway, preventing any further airborne reinforcements by the |
| 35 | + insurgents. However, due to the air defenses established along the northern edge of |
| 36 | + the Green Line (the UN-patrolled demilitarised zone) there are strict advisories against |
| 37 | + overflying North Cyprus unless absolutely necessary, to minimise the risk of losses. |
