4 campaigns.... 1st one is the closest to a 'story'

 

By the summer of 2009, the situation in the western Caucasus had become difficult. Funded by foreign Islamist movements, underground nationalist groups in the republics of Karachayevo-Cherkesiya, Kabardino-Balkariya and southern Krasnodarskiy and Stavropolskiy territories began terrorist activities in earnest. These included attacks on government authorities, interior and military forces in the region. Realizing the danger of escalation toward a full-scale conflict, the leadership of the Russian Federation made the decision to impose a state of emergency in the region. In an effort to stabilize the situation, the interior, army and border patrol units of the Southern Federal District have been substantially reinforced.

 

And it goes on from there....

 

All the other's go like this....

 

With the ever growing demand for oil in world markets, Georgia has taken advantage of its oil-wealth to both improve its infrastructure and its military power. This became even more important after the Russian invasion of Georgia in 2008. Key to this has been the diversion of oil and natural gas from the South Caucasus and Central Asia regions directly to the West. In doing so though, Russia has been left out of the economic windfall. Further, both Azerbaijan and Georgia have worked closely together to minimize Russian involvement in oil coming from Baku.

 

To further inflame matters, there exist the oil and gas fields not yet exploited in Kazakhstan. How this oil will be transported out of Kazakhstan is a matter of contention. Russia insists that it be routed north through its territory whereas the West would like to see it head West through Georgia.

 

Within this energy/economic environment, both the West and Russia have vital strategic interests in Georgia. Recognizing this and the insatiable demand for fossil fuels, several western countries and Georgia have created an energy and defense alliance to ensure the uninterrupted flow of oil from the region and to the west and prevent a repeat of the Russian invasion in 2008. This cooperation has included the granting of western high-technology weaponry and the training of Georgian forces.

 

Recognizing the growing strategic military and economic threat to its south, Russia has taken pre-emptive military action to restore a legitimate government to Georgia and remove western influences from the region.

Any number of variations can be set up in this theatre including fantasy conflicts(between factions that would never in real life go to war)

 

Mainly Russia vs. Georgia

Insurgents (supported by various parties and solo - e.g. - Russian supported Abkhazia militia, Chechen terrorists, all sorts of small Caucasus conflicts)

Georgia (there have been disputes between Russia and Georgia - including an invasion of Georgia by Russia to "protect" South Ossetia)

U.S.A. (generally considered a Georgian Ally who might send troops and vehicles or sell vehicles to Georgia)

Turkey (Various disputes with insurgents)

 

The current map barely covers Central and East Georgia. With the A-10 compatability patch that area will open up.
