Description:

The year is 1990, and Iraq has just invaded Kuwait on August 2, citing oil
overproduction and theft of oil from the Rumailia oil fields as their
reasons. Despite intense pressure from the international community, Iraq
annexes Kuwait a few days later, on August 8, a move that is immediately
declared invalid by the United Nations. Surely the Iraqi government
realized that the end result had to be a crushing and humiliating military
defeat at the hands of the better-equipped and trained western forces, so
why would they risk such a move? Find the true answer in this game.

The characters in this game are members of the 5th Special Forces Group,
and have been assigned an intelligence-gathering mission inside
Iraqi-occupied Kuwait. They must be fluent in Arabic and suitable for a
role in a Special Forces Operational Detachment-A, or A-Team and should
specialize in one of the five Special Forces functional areas: weapons,
engineer, medical, communications, and operations and intelligence. Don�t
forget airborne training. Characters should be created with Byakhee
(http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Haven/4173/byakhee.html), but
that�s not absolutely necessary.
