Story:
- After years of intense warfare against Eastern armies, Europe has become the last stand for the battered NATO forces. On the verge of being driven into the sea, NATO command embarks upon a most desperate measure. In the hope of seizing what seems to be a well-guarded military secret, Operation Magnitude is launched.
A small group of Special Forces and Researchers are sent to a Mediterranean island deep behind enemy lines. However, the mission is compromised and the task force destroyed, leaving Cpt. Scott Miller washed ashore upon the hostile island. In his effort to carry out the mission, he will face the dangers of modern warfare, an unforgiving environment, and the consequences of his own decisions...
Factions:
The presence of Iranian troops is estimated to consist of a battalion-sized combined fighting force with conventional capabilities. The highest concentration of forces is estimated in a newly constructed base adjacent to a former NATO/Greek air force base (ICAO: LGLM) and objective Omega. Majority of the force is designated to a base perimeter protection and counter-insurgency campaign to fend off the threat of the local resistance movement. There are also indications that base security may be partially provided by Russian-based private military company.
- BLUFOR:
- - NATO Faction info: Only deep reconnaissance, special operations and field intelligence services personnel may be encountered in the area of operation.
Support for your mission is scarcely limited.
OPFOR:
- -Iran (2)

The equipment and order of battle of the Iranian troops is reportedly compliant with the common Resource Zone Protection Force structure, including the enhanced defensive, ELINT and SIGINT capabilities. Due to the proximity of the Turkish coast, we estimate the force to be fairly well supplied.
Avoid contact if possible.

A large number of armed petty criminals is suspected to be present on the island, either as part of various paramilitary groups, local populace or originating from the fairly abundant number of refugees from Turkey, Crete, Cyprus, Balkans and North Africa. Armament of the bandit group may consist of infantry weapons including explosives and light anti-armor and anti-air missile capabilities. These groups are most likely to leave our troops undisturbed, however, they may take advantage of the situation of evading, escaping or wounded NATO personnel.
-China
Faction info: N/A
-Greek militia
Faction info:Several HUMINT sources claim the southwest of the operational area to be in the control of a local warlord. It is indicated that the said person controls an approximately battalion-sized paramilitary force maintaining law and order in the surroundings of Myrina. The intel source further indicated the militias are connected to and supported by the Iranian military force on the island, cooperating in a counter-insurgency campaign focused on neutralizing the resistance movement.
Militias are armed mostly with light weapons, support weaponry and vehicles, including armor and support helicopters, acquired from the OPFOR ally.
Cooperation with this group is not advisable under any circumstances.

INDEPENDENT:
- -Greek guerillas
Faction info:The presence of a local armed resistance movement is suspected, presumably sprouting from the pre-war organized crime structures. We expect this group to be hostile towards Iranian troops and Myrina Militias, whilst their relationships to smugglers and bandits may range from a neutral stance to a cordial cooperation. Little is known about the strengths and capabilities of this network.
Little is known about resistance equipment. Only light armament is estimated, with the possibility of additional capabilities captured from the other belligerents and looted from pre-war military depots of the Greek army.
Cooperation with local resistance is possible but not advisable due to the high security risks.
- Russian PMC
Faction info: N/A
- Smugglers
Faction info:According to Agency reports on the current situation on Aegean, a large network of smugglers and traffickers operates on the margins of OPFOR-controlled territories. These parties comprise of local criminal bosses and petty warlords, using a general shortage of supplies to run a gray economy on the Aegean islands, Enclave of Chalkidiki, Turkish coast and Crete. Smugglers are reportedly tolerated and cooperating with many of the local Iranian commanders.
The smugglers are supposed to use mostly light weapons. Smuggling networks use a wide range of light vehicles, hover-crafts and speedboats.
Cooperation with smuggling parties is possible only with the direct authorization of the theater intelligence command.
CIVILIANS
- Info:Civilian populace
This populace is significantly low in numbers, inhabiting mostly the south-western part of the island, falling under control of either the Iranian military authorities or the local paramilitary force. Farmers often inhabit the remote farms and distant villages in the countryside and in the mountains; however, the defensive safe zones established by the Iranian troops across the island has left most of the islands surface uninhabited since its capture in 2025 (see Environment History for further details). In the past years, Limnos became the transition location for refugees from Mediterranean coasts of Asia and Africa, who formed several isolated colonies or blended with the local population in and around the city of Myrina.
It is estimated that the amount of small arms in possession of the non-combatants may be fairly high.
Cooperation with local populace is to be avoided, unless critical conditions (evasion, escape, severe lack of logistic support) occur, as HUMINT sources indicate a high portion of the locals are loyal to the paramilitary authority (see Militias). Due to the constant and long-standing threats perceived by the locals, surprise appearance or improper behavior may result in an attack on NATO personnel.
