After our partial success in repelling the attacks on our positions, global political sentiment toward the conflict has shifted. Our enemy has received a large infusion of resources which have supercharged their economy. Due to damage and munitions used during the defense, the Stennis group has been pulled back and our naval assets have been relocated to the Truman in the Gulf of Aqaba. The Truman lacks supporting ships having just come out of refurbishment and cannot be operated outside of a very defensive position protected by ground assets. In short, things aren't looking good for Blue. However, extensive overflight of Egypt has sharpened our picture of the enemy positions. Each target area is now smaller but much more numerous, allowing us to focus on higher-value targets. We also now have a good map of all static SAM sites.
-- This is a major version update to the mission which will persist after Saturday's flight --
