Update Starfire's campaigns (#3352)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This updates all ten of my campaigns with the improvements I made for
the Retribution versions. There are Retribution-specific units and
trigger zones in the miz templates, but I've tested them and they don't
appear to cause any issues (since Liberation will just ignore the
unknown units and trigger zones). This will make things easier for me in
the future, because then I don't have to maintain two separate sets of
the same campaign files.

The changes include a total redo of supply routes for better convoy
on-road pathing, as well as a balance pass for squadron distribution and
strength.

I have also made a slight edit to one of my faction files to fix a typo.

theater: Falklands

description:
<p><strong>Note:</strong> This campaign was designed for helicopters.</p><p>
Set against the rugged and windswept backdrop of the Falkland Islands,
this fictional campaign scenario unfolds with a dramatic dawn sneak attack
on RAF Mount Pleasant Airbase. Orchestrated by a Russia-backed private
military company, the deadly offensive with helicopter gunships and ground troops
has left the airbase's runways in ruins and its defences obliterated. This brutal
incursion resulted in significant casualties among the RAF personnel, with many
killed or wounded in the unexpected onslaught. The carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth and
its task force are on their way to evacuate the survivors and retake Mount Pleasant.
However, they are eight days away at full steam.</p><p>
Amidst this chaos, a beacon of hope emerges in the heart of the Falklands. At Port
Stanley, a small detachment of US military personnel, including helicopter pilots
and armor units, find themselves inadvertently thrust into the fray. Originally at
Port Stanley for some R&R following a training exercise, these soldiers now face
an unexpected and urgent call to action. Their mission is daunting but clear - to
prevent the capture of Port Stanley and liberate East Falkland from the clutches
of the PMC forces.</p><p>
This small group must strategically push the PMC forces back through the treacherous
valley lying between Wickham Heights and the Onion Ranges, an area ominously known
as No Man's Land. Their plan involves a daring assault to destroy the enemy's
helicopter gunships stationed at San Carlos FOB. Following this, they aim to force
the PMC ground forces into a strategic retreat southward, along the 1.6 mile wide
isthmus into Lafonia. This calculated offensive is designed to create a defensible
position at Goose Green on the narrow isthmus, which can be held against a numerically
superior force until the arrival of Big Lizzie.</p>

<p>For over 4 decades, the United States and Egypt have run a series of
biannual joint military exercises called Bright Star. Over the years, the
number of participating countries has grown substantially. Exercise Bright
Star 2025 boasts 8 participant nations and 14 observer nations. The United
States and a portion of the exercise coalition will play the part of a
fictional hostile nation dubbed Orangeland, staging a mock invasion against
Cairo. Israel, having for the first time accepted the invitation to observe,
is hosting the aggressor faction of the exercise coalition at its
airfields.</p>
<p>For over four decades, the United States and Egypt have conducted a series
of biannual joint military exercises known as Bright Star. As the
geopolitical landscape has transformed, so too has the scope and scale of
Exercise Bright Star. The exercise has grown over the years to incorporate
a wide array of international participants. The 2025 iteration of
Exercise Bright Star features eight participating nations alongside
fourteen observer nations.</p><p>
For the 2025 exercises, the United States, along with a select contingent
from the exercise coalition, will take on the role of a hypothetical
adversarial nation, dubbed Orangeland. This scenario is designed to
simulate a mock invasion against Cairo, and presents a valuable
opportunity for participating nations to refine their joint operational
capabilities and improve logistical and tactical interoperability</p><p>
A historic addition to Exercise Bright Star 2025 is the participation of
Israel as an observer nation. This marks a significant milestone, given
the complex historical relations in the region, and symbolises a step
forward in regional collaboration and military diplomacy. Israel's role,
hosting the aggressor faction of the exercise coalition at its airfields,
not only demonstrates the broadening scope of the exercise but also highlights
the value of fostering an environment of mutual cooperation and shared
security objectives.</p>
