The Story

June 3rd, 2013
CNN Broadcasting Headquarters, New York City, United States


*A female TV Anchor begins to speak*

'This is a breaking news story: Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, in a speech to the UN General Committee, has just pledged the destruction of Israel in a &quotouring out of the Sun's wrath". The US and Israeli Representatives walked out of the speech, and were quick to denounce it. However, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation* head praised the speech afterwards, calling it a renewed &quotledge of support to the Palestinian peoples who are currently repressed", and calling US and Israeli denunciations as "unnessasary fear mongering".'

'We'll give you more updates as new information comes in. Now for your local weather, bought to you by your local CNN affiliate...'

June 7th, 2013
Arrow Interceptor Site, Palmachim Airbase, Israel


(The following is a copy of Israeli radio communications between an Arrow Missile Interceptor unit and Israeli Air Command)

'Command, Great Pine has scanned a potential bogey en route from Iran, over.'

'Copy Arrow-2. Have you ID'd the bogey, over.'

'Affirmative Command, the trajectory and flight path indicate a potential ICBM. We cannot confirm nor deny the presense of a nuclear payload. Possible targets include Tel-Aviv and Negev**. Permission to engage, over.'

'Permission authorized Arrow-2. Be aware that Civil Authorities have been alerted.'

'Copy Command. Trigger on missile. Brown Hazelnut has confirmed launch. T-Minus 15 seconds till intercept.'

'Be aware Arrow-2 that Iron Dome has picked up bogeys incoming from Gaza, over.'

'Copy Command. T-Minus 5 seconds till intercept... Sensors indicate a kill... Great Pine has confirmed.'

'Copy Arrow-2. Continue scanning for a second strike. Command out.'

July 21st, 2013
Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado, United States


(The Vice President is speaking at a meeting involving the top military brass)

'Gentlemen, the President has given authorization to execute Contingency Plan Bravo. A Navy task force will provide support to Marine Force Recon units as they assist the IDF in combating Iranian forces. A second Navy task force will engage Iranian Naval units as they exit the Persian Gulf.'

'Phase Two will involve the bulk of US Military Capabilities in leading the counterstrike. Our ultimate goal is the capture of Tehran, or a total surrender.'

'Any questions? No? Good. I want boots on the ground within 48 hours. Operation: Reigning Fury is a go.'

*Also known as the OIC. It's the single largest voting bloc in the UN, and is comprised of countries with large Islamic populations, such as Iran, the UAE, and Yemen.

**Location of Israeli Nuclear Research facilities.

____________________
Classes

All factions have a short, medium, and long range capable class, as well as a heavy weapons class. Between factions, differences in the classes include, but are not limited to, magazine sizes, weapon's ranges, round sizes, and firing capabilities (semi-auto, three round burst, and full auto).

Before choosing a class, I recommend you look up the weapons used in that class so as to make the most knowledgable choice.

IF YOU PICKED THE UNITED STATES AS YOUR ALLEGIANCE:

The United States Armed Forces have sent the Marine First Recon to assist the IDF in holding back the Artesh as main war machine is mobilized. Civilian casulties are to be avoided, and only Iranian targets are to be engaged. Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon are not enemies, and as such are not to be engaged.

A detailed list of the equipment used by the United States Marine Corp can be found here.

-Assault:
-Primary Weapon: M16A4 Assault Rifle
-Ammunition: 30/30[4] (5.56)
-Secondary Weapon: M9A1 Pistol
-Ammunition: 12/12[2] (9mm}
-Grenades: x4 M67 Fragmentation Grenades

-Close Quarters:
-Primary Weapon: Colt 9mm SMG
-Ammunition: 32/32[3] (9mm)
-Secondary Weapon: M9A1 Pistol
-Ammunition: 12/12[2] (9mm)
-Grenades: x2 M67 Fragmentation Grenades, x2 Smoke Grenades

-Support Gunner:
-Primary Weapon: M249 SAW
-Ammunition: 100/100[2] (5.56)
-Secondary Weapon: FGM-148 Javelin
-Ammunition: 1/1[1] (Missile Tube)
-Grenade: x4 M67 Fragmentation

-Scout Sniper:
-Primary Weapon: M40A5
-Ammunition: 5/5[3] (7.62)
-Secondary Weapon: None
-Ammunition: None
-Grenade: M18A1 Claymore

IF YOU PICKED ISRAEL AS YOUR ALLEGIANCE:

After intercepting the Iranian ICBM and the Hezbollah rockets, Israel now faces a massive ground assault by Iranian Forces from Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon. These countries are not openly hostile, and as such only Iranian positions are viable military targets. Israel cannot afford to lose this conflict, and faces irradication if it does. As such, the Artesh must be pushed back.

A detailed list of the equipment used by the Israeli Defense Force can be found here.

-Assault:
-Primary Weapon: Tavor TAR-21
-Ammunition: 35/35[3] (5.56)
-Secondary Weapon: Jericho 941
-Ammunition: 12/12[3] (9mm)
-Grenade: x3 M26A2 Fragmentation

-Close Quarters:
-Primary Weapon: Uzi
-Ammunition: 50/50[2] (9mm)
-Secondary Weapon: None
-Ammunition: None
-Grenade: x2 M26A2 Fragmentation, x2 Mod 0 Flash Bang

-Support Gunner:
-Primary Weapon: IMI Negev LMG
-Ammunition: 150/150[2] (5.56)
-Secondary Weapon: B-300 Shipon
-Ammunition: 1/1[2] (82mm Rocket)
-Grenade: x4 M26A2 Fragmentation

-Scout Sniper:
-Primary Weapon: IMI Galatz
-Ammunition: 25/25[2] (7.62)
-Secondary Weapon: Desert Eagle
-Ammunition: 7/7[2] (.50 AE)
-Grenade: Semtex w/Clacker

IF YOU PICKED IRAN AS YOUR ALLEGIANCE:

After the failed destruction of Israel by Nuclear Attack and Hezbollah rocket attacks, the main goal of the Iranian Army, or Artesh, is to eliminate Israeli forces and occupy all territory in Palestine. This is to be done as quickly as possible, regardless of the costs. While Iran stands alone in the conflict, other Arab nations have pledged support in secret diplomatic cables provided Iran can achieve success in its campaign. Therefore all Israeli and American positions, regardless of its function, are viable.

A detailed list of equipment used by the Artesh can be found here.

-Assault:
-Primary Weapon: AK-74
-Ammunition: 30/30[3] (7.62)
-Secondary Weapon: PC-9 ZOAF
-Ammunition: 12/12[2] (9mm)
-Grenade: x3 M67 Fragmentation

-Close Quarters:
-Primary Weapon: MPT-9
-Ammunition: 30/30[3] (9mm)
-Secondary Weapon: None
-Ammunition: None

-Support Gunner:
-Primary Weapon: PKM T-80
-Ammunition: 250/250[1] (7.62)
-Secondary Weapon: RPG-29
-Ammunition: 1/1[3] (105mm Rocket)
-Grenade: x2 M67 Fragmentation

-Scout Sniper:
-Primary Weapon: Nakhjir
-Ammunition: 10/10[3] (7.62)
-Secondary Weapon: None
-Ammunition: None
-Grenade: x3 M67 Fragmentation

The 30/30 in the ammunition tab indicates 30 rounds in a magazine of 30. As rounds are deplinished, the first number will deplete until it reaches 0. Once the magazine is emptied, a new one will be used and the number in brackets, [3], will decrease by one. When the bracketed number reaches number, and the current magazine is depleted, more ammuniton must be found for that weapon.

You can replenish your ammuniton stores by finding ammuniton that is compatible with your weapon. You cannot use ammuntion that your weapon is not chambered for. Some weapons can be chambered for different rounds, but this can only be done in the level up shop.

The level up shop is only avaliable upon leveling up. Upon accessing the level up shop, you can buy attachments for your weapon, weapon modificataions, and one-time use 'cards', which include airstrikes and vehicular support.

If you have any questions regarding equipment, terms and acronyms, or anything regarding the game itself, feel free to ask me. I'll try to answer your question to the best of my capabilities.

Very good. Though I would change your last name to something decidedly less Islamic. Here is a list of Knesset members you could pull a last name from.

It is preferable, yes. But if it prooves to be a problem, a temporary exemption can be mad.

Sure, and considering I'm on an iPod could I go without a sheet until I have computer access,it's hard to refine the copy option on something that long.

Sure thing. I'll only post it for the time being if something on it changes.

JC:

Since the mobilization of Israeli forces, you've been stationed with your unit at a border checkpoint in the Golon Heights. Besides preventing Iranian forces from penetrating Israeli territory, you've also been tasked with defending an Iron Dome installment some distance behind you.

The checkpoint under your unit's control consists of several lines of barbed wire and a guard tower, as well as a reinforced concrete pillbox. The land is slightly hilly and rocky, and Iranian lines are about a thousand yards away. The sun is beginning to rise, but its still relatively dark, as its around 500 hours.

From your position on a hummock overlooking the area, you see a sudden barrage of rockets come over from Iranian lines. The Iron Dome emplacement begins to take them out, and sporatic small arms fire begins to come in.

What do you do? (Though let us assume you always react from now on)

I take aim and start sniping those who are doing the most damage with the small arms.
Do I have a laser guide, nightvision or any other thing like that to help with aim?

Negetor, Skeletor. You've got a standard, six-power scope thats effective up to 1000 yards. Attachments will come later.

You begin to engage the approaching Iranians. They're at the extremem limits of your effective range, and you have to fire a few shots to get your range (-5 rounds). You don't score any hits however.

The rest of your unit is holding their fire until they enemy gets closer.

I hold too. I wait until the enemy is at a distance where my shots will be somewhat effective. I aim and fire 5 shots.

You cease firing, and the enemy begins to advance quickly. After several tense moments, they're about 600 yards away... Well within your effective range.

You fire five shots, and score two hits (-5 rounds, +20 EXP). As the bodies fall, the rest of the Iranian unit dives behind cover.

Sporratic fire begins to come in, but you don't have clear eyes on.

Your unit's leader, Lieutenant Ben-Ami, calls out to you: 'What do you see Ezra?'

"They've dived behind cover. they lie around 600 meters away." I call back.
Israel uses the metric system. Sorry, I'm not usually finicky, but you want to be realistic, right?

Dammit America, why do you have to be the only country to use feet?

'Only engage what you can hit then. We're not going to be reinforced, so we need to conserve ammunition.'

You notice that the Iranian unit is gradually creeping forward, its members rapidly sprinting and diving to gain a few prescious meters. They're about 525 meters away now.

You try to hit them as they pop up, but they're moving to irraticaly (-3 rounds).

They're about 450 meters away now, and some of them seem to be congregating around a rather large outcropping of rocks. You can't get a clear shot though.

'Keep us filled in Ezra!'

"Sir, their congregating around that big rock outcropping. I can't get a clear shot." I call. I also point to the rocks as fast as I can.
