operations Winter Roses campaign [CAUCASUS]

[CTC]

We've just wrapped up our most recent campaign on the Caucasus. A massive thank you to our mission makers: Jonas 'Wife' Rembratt, Seb 'Robin' Strauch, and Jason 'Snooze' Tyrlage + many more who helped test, roleplay, and produce materials.

The "Winter Roses" campaign was based on a fictional late 2014, with escalating tensions in Georgia following a rigged election and the rise of the pro-democracy Rustaveli Revolution. Pro-Russian factions responded with harassment and even violence, threatening stability and security in Georgia, for civilians and UN peacekeepers alike. Russia, politically fractured and partially incapacitated due to its president being hospitalized and unconscious, failed to veto a UNSC resolution, mandating NATO with providing security for UN peacekeepers, and establishing a no-fly zone to stabilise the region.

The campaign chronicled NATO's efforts to counter Russian-backed militia aggression by suppressing advanced SAM systems, and maintain air superiority while avoiding a full-scale war. Each mission represented a critical phase in the conflict: 10 missions that begun with peacetime sorties to then culminating in coordinated OCA and DEAD strikes to de-militarise the Russian-backed militia. Early missions brought new gameplay to the group and introduced players to the situation, geography, and how to act in a “cold war”, where it’s not possible to employ weapons to solve any problem, often using show of force/non lethal deterrents to resolve AI and human controlled storylines.
