Air Campaign

The Levantine Air Force attempts to both engage the imperialist air force, while also carry out strikes on ground forces. Fighters in the skies use the tactic of launching chaff and flares, and then firing missiles. While SAM batteries are confused by the infrared countermeasures, some are able to lock onto their targets and fire missiles.

On the ground, this time Levantine troops/tanks are warned, and move to avoid being struck by the impending aerial barrage. Some are able to take shelter.

Back in the skies, although a fair amount of jets heading to attack enemy ground forces are hit by SAM fire, attack aircraft are able to open fire on San Sierran/HUR tank formations and ground troops with ASMs and lethal rockeye cluster bombs.

Defensive Zone

Many Levantine artillery units are taken out by counterbattery fire, however point defenses and SAMs are able to prevent the barrage from being totally effective. The remaining artillery units including those not yet discovered, prepare for another volley against the imperialists. This time, their munitions are very different.

Meanwhile, San Sierran artillery strikes on fortified hamlets are largely ineffective, with the majority of casualties being civilians. Roughly 800 troops and 1500 innocents are killed.

War Crimes

In desperation, the Levantine government decides to resort to its second most deadly weapon. As chaos reigns along the border, Saddam Urabi gives the order...

All artillery units along the border open fire, sending over a thousand shells some filled with mustard gas, others phosgene, and the occasional bit of sodium hydroxide towards enemy positions. These three gases require different masks to protect against, making it almost impossible for enemy troops caught to survive.

To make matters worse for the enemy, 32 ICBMs equipped with stealth tech and filled to the brim with the same three lethal gases are launched from hidden silos. These ballistic missiles are aimed at coalition military camps, sectors with large amounts of troops, and large military installations.
