History: Year is 2086 and the 3rd World War between the NCWF(North Coalition for World Freedom) and Xin Silu Dominion has been raging on for 20 years. NCWF compromises of mostly the traditionally western democracies of the northern hemisphere, while the Xin Silu Dominion is an authoritarian state compromising most of the southern hemisphere, dominated by the Chinese and Indian nationals. Russians initially joined the Dominion as an associate, but since they never really fully submitted to the Xin Silu central authority, causing the relations to strain. Shortly after the start of WW3, Russians were backstabbed by a sudden Dominion invasion, intent on claiming the Siberian oil and gas fields for themselves. Russians immediately switched sides and joined Coalition, but were too overwhelmed to defend their Siberian resources. Due to two decades of anti-NCWF propaganda prior to that, many Russians still feel very bitter distain and distrust towards the Coalition.

Scenario

The scenario takes place in the middle of the Siege of Perm. The city of Perm has been under siege by the Xin Silu military every since the Great Dominion Offensive of 2085, where they managed to breach the Coalition trench lines in Russia and rapidly push further west, encircling the city of Perm as the Coalition retreated, trapping many Coalition units inside Perm. The defenders are still holding out, hoping that the Coalition will eventually retake the land and provide relief for the trapped defenders. Current situation in Perm is mostly calm, with the exceptions being occasional artillery and airstrikes. Dominion drones are often patrolling the skies and calling down artillery upon any Coalition defenders they can spot. Dominion incursions and raids into the city are rather rare, due to how fortified Perm has become. Russian civilians still live among the ruins, where anarchy reins. Some of the civilians have resorted to looting, banditry and even cannibalism. Since the Coalition frontline isn't too far from the city, the Coalition has managed to constantly airdrop supplies into the city, keeping the Coalition resistance alive. The duties of my squad are: to retrieve airdropped supplies whenever they land; to police and keep the peace within the city among the desperate civilians; to help the hungry population by distributing rations; to secure and protect the dropped supplies from armed and desperate looters; to fight off enemy incursions and raids into the city. There are many other squads such as mine in the city and we see them often. We occasionally receive new commands from the Perm Fortress HQ via radio transmissions or runners, sending us on tasks within the besieged city.
