THE CASCADIAN WAR: NATO vs EASTERN LEBANON Year: 2019 Lebanon has fractured. Eastern Lebanon has broken away, plunging the continent into a devastating war. As the conflict escalates, NATO becomes involved, deploying troops, aircraft, helicopters, and armored vehicles across the divided territory. From vast deserts and dusty highways to dense forests, mountain passes, and ruined cities, the battlefield stretches across an enormous landscape. NATO forces deploy F-15s, F-16s, F-104s, Panavia Tornados, Eurofighters, Apache helicopters, Mi-24 Hinds, M1A2 Abrams, Leopard 2A4s, and C1 Arietes. Eastern American forces mobilize to resist, defending their territory through fierce battles, counterattacks, and desperate last stands. Meanwhile, the United Nations deploys peacekeepers to unstable regions, operating white-marked armored vehicles and establishing checkpoints, patrol routes, and temporary observation posts. But as the fighting spreads, even UN personnel find themselves dangerously close to the front lines. The conflict is unpredictable. Entire regions become battle zones, alliances are tested, and civilians struggle to survive between opposing armies. You can play as a NATO soldier, an Eastern American fighter, a tank crew member, a helicopter pilot, a commander, a UN peacekeeper, or a civilian caught in the conflict. Every character has a story. Every battlefield has its secrets. And nobody knows how this war will end. Two sides at war. A continent divided. A peacekeeping mission on the edge of collapse. Welcome to the Cascadian War.
