Steel Operations 2 : Shadow of Genaukagrad
In 1984, Emperican advances in genetics were renowned the world over. Genetically fabricated creatures were a commonplace thing in the Emperican Empire, especially within the military. Further advances in genetics were so sought after by the government, that Tsarina Aleksei Kashikoi herself ordered the construction of an entire city to house the scientists and workers required for large scale research and testing at a central location.
Genaukagrad (literally meaning 'City of Genetic Science'), which lay far within Siberia, had a population of nearly 30,000. Now it's a ghost town.
In 1987, something went horribly wrong. One of the factories within the city suffered a massive explosion. This particular factory was responsible for the production of a chemical known as 'Razvitiye-5', which is used to accelerate the growth rate of a fetus during cloning procedures. As a result of the explosion (the cause of which is not known event to this day), the chemical was catapulted high above the city in a large quantity, then then proceeded to rain down in a massive downpour.
Under normal circumstances and in small amounts, Razvitiye-5 is generally considered a type of steroid. However, in the massive quantity that is was raining down upon Genaukagrad is was nearly lethal. A minority of the citizens were lucky enough to be in their homes when the event happened. Those who weren't suffered greatly. Upon contact with the skin, the chemical is absorbed into the bloodstream and causes a drastic increase in heart rate, breathing, and in some cases causes sever hemorrhaging of the brain.
Nearly 20,000 of Genaukagrad's original population of 30,000 met it's death that day. The Tsarina quickly ordered the incident covered up and the entire city evacuated. Studies quickly concluded that several days after the event, the chemical broke down into the soil, bolstering the growth of plants in the city and the immediate area. Fortunately, the chemical no longer proved a threat to living creatures. The dead were quickly cleaned up, and the remaining inhabitants of the city were commanded back to their homes. The scientists and laborers refused. Eventually, the Tsarina abandoned the city all together, sending the survivors to various gulags throughout the nation, never allowing any evidence of the event to surface again.
Shortly after the Orange Revolution of 2016, General Secretary Eriya Kashikoi showed interest in bringing Genaukagrad back into working condition, putting an emphasis on higher safety standards and better conditions. However, the idea was shot down for fear of another disaster resulting in massive casualties.
Now, the General Secretary has opened up the city of Genaukagrad for use by the military in training exercises. The many housing projects and narrow streets provide an ideal environment for training in urban combat, and the massive forests that have sprouted up around the city provide an excellent location for wooded combat training.
Rules
The Operation
Blue Team must capture the city of Genaukagrad. First, Blue Team must fight past numerous Red Team defenses the lay in the forests surrounding the city, or even possibly airdrop in with the risk of having their aircraft 'shot down' and their passenger's 'killed'. Should Blue Team make it past the outer defenses of Genaukagrad, they must establish a base of operations within the city (preferably in an easy to defend area) before proceeding to locate and eliminate all members of Red Team.
Meanwhile, Red Team will have already had one day to set up it's own base of operations and defenses. They must then hunt down and eliminate all members of Blue Team.
