*
Date: June 12, 2014*
*
Battle Location: Punakha Dzong, Bhutan*
*
Battle Type: China (Paracute) advance vs India delay*
*
*
Description: War has broken out between China and a number of her neighbors sparked by skirmishes in the waters near Taiwan.*
*
In the mountainous region on Chinas southern border the Indian and Chinese forces stand ready for battle but in a surprise move China attacks not India itself but the small landlocked mountain country of Bhutan - an Indian ally.*
*
The Chinese plan is called Thunder Dragon- another name for Bhutan - and aims at drawing Indian forces into the small mountain country where they can be dealt a crushing defeat and end the threat on Chinas southern border.  *
*
Chinese intelligence has located an Indian Mountain Brigade HQ near the palace of Punakha Dzong  a place of major symbolic value to Bhutan. The Indian command is responsible for the defense of a major portion of the northwestern parts of the country. Knocking it out in the opening moves would greatly increase the chances of Chinese victory.*
*
One reinforced parachute company is detailed to mount an airborne attack on the Indian HQ. Heavily relying on surprise as it is known there are substantial Indian forces in the vicinity.*
*
Notes: If played against the AI the human player should take the Chinese side. You are to destroy the Indian Mountain Brigade HQ and try to defeat counterattacks from nearby Indian units and possible Quick Reaction Forces.**
