"He who is destined to defeat first fights and afterwards looks for victory."*
________________________Sun Tzu*
*
Tension between the Greek Cypriots and the TRNC backed by Turkey over the deployment of a new type of SAM system bought from Russia sparks hostile actions that quickly escalate into a major confrontation as the militarily stronger Turks move across the demarcation line on Cyprus.*
*
Near Palemetokho, a small community where a number of roads converge, a reduced Cypriot National Guard battalion faces strong Turkish forces moving south. Fight. Look for victory later.*
*
Notes: If played against the AI the human player should take the Cyprus side.*
