In North America, two American Guard companies deserted over the last year, presumably lured away by foreign spies. US intelligence services have no clue who was responsible and are publicly requesting more funding. Mexico has expanded its navy and begun development of an air force.
The USCM has undergone internal dissent and confusion as a new leader has risen to rule in the new capital of Montreal, abandoning Winnipeg. What the new
People's Republic of Montreal will do is a mystery. Will they follow the USCM's footsteps, or will they negotiate with their bellicose southern neighbor?
Little of note occurs in Africa beyond the overdue Emirates/Egyptian land transfer. But in Southern Europe and Saudi Arabia, tensions flare over Egypt's ongoing commitment in China. The people of Italy revolt, forming a new Socialist Republic, and the Saudis form the New Caliphate. The loss of the Saudi Arabian Army Base has caused one Egyptian Guard and one Militia to desert already. Will Cairo negotiate, or neutralize? And will foreign powers take the chance to cut the legs out from under the Land of the Pharaohs?(

In Asia, the SSSL has invaded and annexed Mongolia, adding it to their territory. They claim they are defending the region from Chinese assault while the Coalition disassembles the mighty Dragon of Asia, but are they telling the truth or masking imperialism? And either way, what shall be done about it?
Meanwhile, the fate of China - and the fate of the world - are decided in a vicious campaign for Tibet. One Chinese Guard battalion is the only survivor of a blitz of Desertion-inducing spies across the country, and it withdraws into double fortifications in the high mountains of Tibet. The Egyptians advance - so far from home - with two Guard battalions and a company of Militia - 9 Strength against 18. But as things look bleak for Egypt, an Indian army arrives from the southern borders, comprised of three Guard companies and a wing of CAS aircraft. After the coalition regroups, they begin a general assault on the Chinese positions.
The battle is long and vicious. At first the Coalition is thrown back in skirmishes around the foothills, but thanks to dedicated air support from the lone wing of Indian planes they rally and counterattack, driving the Chinese into their heavy redoubts in the Tibetan peaks. Weak and exhausted, the two factions hammer at each other again, as fighting penetrates deep into the very Chinese missile command bunkers. Elite commandos, regular soldiers and brave Indian pilots duel with Chinese Presidential Guads, loyal unto death to their leader, never surrendering in the brutal fighting. The CAS unit is eventually shot down and all its members massacred by Chinese soldiers as an example to the remaining soldiers, but they only fight all the harder in response.
After five days and nights of fighting across Tibet, the Coalition's flags fly from the Chinese Nuclear Bunker. What now lies in store for the world, with the nuclear threat annihilated? Chinese missiles have been spread among the Coalition's members, as trophies of conquest . . . . (
+100 Nuclear Strength for
Egypt, India, The Great Turan and
Northern Watch.)
