Khorramshahr, Shatt-el-Arabb River, Iraq-Iran Southern Border, September 1980.

The past border exercises are over. President Saddam has ordered you to invade Iran and defeat the puny Islamist government of Teheran. We can no longer allow that cleric Khomeini to continue launching speeches against Iraq. The Iranian Islamist government will pay for their provocations.

You are assigned the mission to liberate the Arab cities of Khorramshahr and Abadan, and take other minor objectives. With the Islamic revolution underway, the Iranian army is currently weak. President Saddam also thinks we will be well received by the Arabs from the other bank of the Shatt-el-Arabb River, we shall see. Intelligence informs us that the Iranians have only one ready division in your sector that can offer any serious resistance.

Select your troops and begin the assault. President Saddam expects only the best from a tikriti general like you.


* Tip *: Learn to manage your helicopter transported units, and be careful with them; they will be trapped if you disembark into an enemy occupied hex.
