Saw this up at bluesnews today. It reads like it was passed through
translation software and barely edited. The news, however, is almost
good.
Game action takes place in the western coast of Africa. There is arms
race intensification and exacerbation of a situation in the region. One
of local countries desires to be a member of a nuclear club, but had no
access to resources to produce it. The country has financed the
revolution in another one small country, which possessed that resource.
Thus, there was established a special regime in this country and all
its resources were crossed to the invaders. Ex-government of the
occupied country contacts with a player and suggests interfering in the
situation: to overthrow a government of conqueror regime and to restore
the previous regime. As conqueror-country and player's opportunities
aren't equal a player starts to wage guerilla warfare. But for all
that the small country can't conduct open operations in the most big
and powerful country, as it is afraid of world community attention.
Thus, a player acts in a role of a Che Gevara of the present. The game
consists of number of missions that are the unification of united plot.
Game contains ~20 missions, who include obligatory and several
unnecessary missions. Passing unnecessary missions, the player lightens
pass of obligatory missions for himself, what means that the more
unnecessary missions of the episode the player passes, the more easier
it will be for him to execute the main mission of the episode.
Each mission is a level, on which the team of player appears and
executes the combat task. In the real-time mode the player can control
team, which can be arranged of 6 fighters (max). Mission considers
accomplished if all of the soldiers of the enemy are destroyed. For
successful execution of the mission the player gets money. Team of the
player gathers experience and grows over itself.
Between missions the player can hire/fire the mercenaries, can buy/sell
the ammunition, choose the mission from available on given moment
missions (all of non accomplished missions of episode are available
simultaneously)

2. Normal (enemies have normal accuracy)
3. Hard (enemies are very accurate)
10. Gameplay is dynamic and not turning into a boring routine
