The situation at the end of our fictional campaign.  While the Chinese Air Force has held its own over the southern reaches of the Taiwan Strait, ground victories by the US and her Western Pacific Allies have pretty much collapsed the Chinese bridgehead on northern Taiwan.

A close up of most of the American forces we'll see in today's game.  The idea is to defeat Chinese surface ships, suppress enemy air strikes and land-based cruise missile attacks, and finally get to grips with the Chinese transport fleet (six Type 072A amphibious warfare transports).  If the Americans can do enough damage to the Chinese landing fleet, their surviving bridgehead in southern Taiwan will be cut off and doomed to defeat.A close up of most of the American forces we'll see in today's game.
