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