Alternate History, 19 December 1989.
The Soviet government is outraged after the loss of control in the Georgian Republic, and they blame TF Challenger directly for interfering a domestic affair within the Soviet Union. The Premier is also furious on his cabinet and his Flag Officers for not quelling the bigger threat against the two forces in Georgia. As a knee-jerk response, he ordered his Black Sea Fleet to begin the hunt against the carrier group before they reach the mouth to the Marmara Sea, in Turkey.
"No NATO prisoners!"
Join your well-known wingman once more to fight off Soviet Air, Land and Sea assets together in a race against time during the bleakest winters recorded in the Caucasus Region in a fight for survival to safety in NATO Territory. Reinforcements are not yet promised, and supplies since the last campaign set the CAG back significantly--to include the wounded.

2 Player Version
In this campaign, you will be able to enjoy very realistic challenges set before you regarding night operations, harsh weather, mechanical/avionic failures, and even coordinating interceptions with Combat Air Patrols. Additionally, for those who enjoy history, the player will be able to scout ahead and attack authentic Soviet naval ships with their assigned name and vessel numbers, and the aircraft assigned in squadrons around the region back in 1989!
Air-to-Air missions are very dynamic in this campaign. Reaction times and skills set by the Soviet and US Military training doctrines in the late 1980s were researched and implemented into every mission to give the pilot a slight sense of worry after hitting critical targets deep behind enemy lines, and hopes to making it back with Friendly Intercepts.
Air-to-Ground missions will give the player a thrilling ride if targets are hit at the appropriate times before main bomber groups arrive to neutralize taxiways and runways. This includes naval attacks in one of these mission with AGM-84D Anti-Ship Missiles, and must be careful to not hit any civilian vessels in the AO. There is some challenges in this campaign: weapons in service from the late-1980s will ONLY be available. No HMD, no GPS-Guided Weapons. Watch for random MANPAD emplacements after breaching through their air defense radars.
Civilian targeting or fratricide will not be tolerated in this campaign. It is designed to fail the mission.
Enjoy the continuation of the original campaign with a smooth ending in another map. Hope your wingman remembered to pack his wallet this time for alternate landings!
Happy Flying! Any comments or suggestions let me know!
