By 2022, there were still no signs of an end to these fields. Whilst other
countries were being crippled by the most recent recession, Russia was
revelling in its new found income. A country which previously had the money
to invest in arms, now was able to spend more money on the welfare of her
people. But, feelings towards it were heightening. In a conference in 2025
regarding the economic state of the world, it was unanimously decided to try
and do something about this situation. Talks were held with the Russian
government, but they refused to release their stranglehold of the resource.
Within a year, the remaining nations joined together to form the United
Forces; an alliance of armies intent on making the Russian government share
the new found wealth. That is where our story ends.

The present day:
^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^ ^
You have been enrolled in an elite force known by code name TR5. An off-shoot
of the main United Air Force, its purpose is to undertake the more risky
airborne attacks on the Russian forces. The plane which TR5 utilise is the
newly designed Alpha-G fighter jet. Details of this can be found in the
section entitled 'View Planes' from the 'Fly' submenu. You will have to take
part in four campaigns which will take you to four very different
environments:

    1 The populated areas of the city of Meerut in northern India
    2 The cold plains of Khorog in Tajikstan
    3 The inland sea of Aralskoye More divided by the country of Uzbekistan
    4 The town of Shache in the Taklimaken Shamo lying in the Gobi desert
