With the enemies approaching from the south, Fiona sets up her bipod on the roof of one of the mining buildings, where it will afford her an excellent view of the main road into town. Dimitri takes up position nearby to cover Fiona’s flank. Sam conceals himself behind a building and sets up his bipod to watch the southwest approach, while Jesse hides more or less in the middle of the map to cover the center.




The setup works well, as one soldier walks openly in front of Sam’s machine gun.

Through her scope, Fiona spots three targets, and with a pair of quick headshots, eliminates two of them.




Fiona takes another shot to try and eliminate the third, but the soldier’s body armor easily defeats the hollow-point round, and she only succeeds in causing some bruising. Sam’s armor-piercing .30-06 rounds, on the other hand, punch right through it and drop him. Unfortunately, the BAR’s unwieldy nature means that Sam can’t get off a shot at the newly revealed blackshirt next to him. With his friend at risk, Jesse moves up behind the cover of a bus stop and makes the killshot.




Meanwhile, on the east side of town, Dimitri watches from concealment as a trio of blackshirts try to outflank Fiona’s deadly sniper roost.

Pulling a grenade from his vest, Dimitri stands up suddenly and hurls it into their midst. Not only does the grenade hit, the impact also detonates a tear-gas grenade that one of the blackshirts was carrying, releasing the choking gas in their midst. He takes a couple of shots with his AK at the dazed soldiers, and one of them hits. Alerted to the danger, and with no more targets on the west side of town, Fiona changes position slightly and puts down one of the men.




With no more targets nearby, Jesse breaks from cover and charges towards the action. As he does so, Fiona continues picking off the choking, confused blackshirts with her trademark precision shooting. Jesse makes another kill, and as the smoke begins to clear, Fiona gets the last enemy. The attack is defeated, with the elite of the Arulcan Army not even managing a single shot at the defenders.

Exhausted from his all-night march, Jesse is relieved to see the wreckage that used to be the thriving town of Omerta appear out of the darkness.





His relief vanishes a moment later, however, when his night-vision goggles pick out the shapes of Arulcan Army troops picking through the rubble in search of Miguel’s refuge. For a moment he contemplates just shooting his way through, but he is already tired, and even Jesse is not quite reckless enough to challenge an occupied enemy position without even knowing how many of them are there.





Instead, he hunkers down low, sticks to the treeline, and stealthily works his way across town. Aside from a sticky moment where he hears movement just south of his position, Jesse makes it through undetected.



It’s still dark when he trudges wearily into the center of town, where Michael, Ira, Igor, Grunty, and Gumpy are making their preparations to depart.

As the flames die down, Sam lowers the arm he had raised to protect this face, peers through the small scope on his MG42, and finds a few targets attempting some sort of ill-advised amphibious assault. He is still a little shaken by the massive explosion, however, and the shots miss. He then takes aim at the nearer of the two targets and takes her down despite her cover. With no other options, he begins firing once again at the enemy in the surf, but the hollow point rounds do little against her body armor. All of the lead in the air does, however, force the rest of the amphibious attack force to crouch in fear.




From her perch, Fiona watches frustrated through her scope as Sam rakes the beach with lead. She checks her scope once again, but the southeast is totally silent.

She jumps down off the roof and sprints across the concrete deck towards Sam’s position, who, in the meanwhile, is tracking his MG42 with lethal efficiency. In a matter of seconds, three enemies have fallen to the fire the weapon is spitting. Hungry for action, Fiona dives down beside him, steadies her bipod, and squeezes off a killshot on one other foe still lurking out in the water.




Hearing shooting to the south, Dimitri circles around the building to find a dead militiaman and no enemy in sight. Fiona, not seeing any targets out in the water, stands and moves to assist Dimitri with clearing the south. She spots an enemy taking cover behind the tire stacks, and with a single accurate shot, puts him down. Dimitri advances to cover on the flank of the lone blackshirt remaining south of the building. Between militia fire and a single hit by Dimitri, the blackshirt goes down.




Fiona turns her scope out onto the water in search of the last two unaccounted-for foes, and finds them. She brings down one with her rifle, and Sam jogs forward with his weapon to get a shot at the last one. He goes prone as the militia lays down its own suppressive fire, lines up his shot, and pulls the trigger on a killing burst to end the battle.




Despite Sam doing most of the work, two members of the militia have learned from the battle, and are deemed experienced enough to wear the blue shirts of Miguel’s rebel fighters. Still, they mourn the seven of their companions lost in the fighting.

As the team closes in on the airport, Igor, Grunty, and Ira split off and bear north towards the same small storage shed that the group used in their first attack. There is a close moment as they catch sight of the gate guard, but by staying low and quiet, they are able to make it past unnoticed. Michael creeps forward and goes prone, preparing to take out the gate guard as soon as they go loud, while Igor, Grunty, and Ira clamber up to the roof and take up firing positions on the targets in the yard.




It takes him two shots with his Garand, but Michael brings down the gate guard with no trouble, and those shots are the signal for the attack to begin in earnest. From his hidden position on the roof, Igor opens up with a pair of close-range bursts from the M60 that end his targets in brutal fashion.

Gumpy draws his hand cannon, crouches down next to Michael, and peers through the trees. He jumps in a moment of surprise as Michael’s gun bangs, dropping an enemy running up along the west side of the airport terminal.




Grunty jumps down from the roof and moves towards the north wall of the terminal, but is caught by surprise by a pair of blackshirt guards who has used the trees to screen their advance from Michael. Michael squeezes off a bad shot and nicks the biggest threat, but it’s Igor who is able to save his German friend with a careful burst from the M60 as Grunty runs for cover. Michael is able to take out a greenshirt coming to join the counterattack, Igor mows down a blackshirt, and Grunty guns down the last of the attackers with his AKMS.




Michael, Grunty, and Gumpy advance to the parking lot on the airport’s west side, and Michael spots a greenshirt debating whether to fight or flee with the guard at the southern gate. He ends the debate with a round into each soldier’s chest.

The young woman takes a deep breath and jumps down from her position next to Igor only to climb right back up onto the roof of the terminal. She sweeps with her SMLE, but the roof is clear. There is a shot from below, however, as Michael spots a target in the cargo yard south of the terminal and takes him out.




Grunty and Michael move up to the windows to ensure there are no enemies hiding inside the building, but it appears clear. Meanwhile, Ira advances to the south side of the terminal roof and scans the area. She spots one target hiding far to the east. She raises her weapon, fairly sure she will miss, and shocks herself when the round actually connects, doubling the enemy over and sending him staggering for cover. Igor jogs over from the north and spots the badly wounded soldier. He casually lies down, unfolds his bipod, and guns him down. Soon after, Michael locates the final enemy taking refuge in the shipping center, and double-taps him with his pistol.

As the group pushes south into Drassen proper, Michael immediately spots an enemy soldier in Herve’s bar. As he doesn’t want the alarm raised before the team is in position, Michael double-taps him with his silenced Glock. With the threat eliminated, Gumpy and Grunty move east, Michael moves west, and Ira and Igor climb up to the roof of the bar. As a soldier rounds the corner, Ira squeezes the trigger and makes the kill.




Enemy soldiers appear, running to investigate the source of the noise – right into Igor’s sights. He opens up with the M60, dropping three enemies and wounding another before Ira can even get a shot off. When she finally does, she drops her target, only to watch Igor mow down another.




With the Arulcan Army apparently figuring out the boundaries of Igor’s kill zone, uneasy quiet settles over the area. Michael creeps forward to try and scout the positions of the remaining enemies, and finds four enemies (including the one clipped earlier by Igor) in the center of town. He takes one shot, which punches through one foe – killing him – and continues on to badly wound the man behind him. He takes out another foe dashing towards him, and an additional enemy who ducks behind a building in search of cover accidentally ducks right back into Igor’s line of fire. He does not last long.




Michael advances closer only to find three more soldiers arrayed against him. Fortunately, Grunty has moved up to provide support and badly hurts one of them with a short burst from his MP5. Michael takes out the other two with well-placed shots from his Garand, and a few moments later, Grunty finishes the job he started with another shot from his MP5. Michael turns to the south where he finds the last badly injured foe trying to escape. One more squeeze of the trigger, and it’s over.

Michael answers the question by heading into the bar and buying a couple of bottles of high-proof alcohol from Herve…






Which he then mixes together to form the basis of a pair of Molotov cocktails.
