Standing up to China

[duff]

Two airborne commando groups fighting for a small island. You could make it as similar or as different as you wanted to the first battle of the "Balken wars 2008" campaign.

Marine/commando raid in boats on an island outpost.

"Spoiling" raid to sink boats before they can cause trouble - perhaps secure a position to be able to fire ATGMs at opposing patrol boats.

Heliborne raid on opposing artillery as part of crossborder firing as tension mounts. Perhaps in response to intelligence that there are bioweapons being prepared for use. Could be a raid on AA instead.

If a map could be persuaded to look enough like an oil platform you could fight over a deep sea rig.

Given the resources in dispute; raids on gas/oil terminals or even fish processing plants could make a political point


Extract some significant civilians/agents/diplomatic staff from a city - mostly opposed by armed police to start with.

Just some thoughts.
