By the late 1990's, relations between Russia and Ukraine had worsened. Facing economic and nationalistic pressures at home, the Russian government demanded Black Sea port rights from the Ukraine. The Russians also insisted that the Ukrainian government turn over all potential nuclear weapons. Feeling that their legitimacy as a sovereign nation was at stake, Ukraine refused and mobilized its large army. The Russians struck swiftly, launching several strikes at various military bases and airfields near the border. Russian special forces and the Ukrainians battled it out over an airbase.*

This is one of the original SSI scenarios for SP2. This one is by far my favorite Steel Panthers scenario ever. It's been at least twelve years since I first played it; I hope you enjoy this recreation in WinSPMBT. I've tried to keep it as close to the original as possible. The only differences are minor variations in the terrain features, as I used the old Mk.I Eyeball to recreate the map, and of course much more accurate and powerful units and weapons, thanks to the Camo Workshop.*
