SUMMARY:OP: SHIFTING SANDS II
DESCRIPTION:Desert Fox Fields proudly presents Operation: Shifting San
 ds II. This game is the sequel to DFF’s ground breaking Military Sim
 ulation operation, and will set the new standard for MilSim games.\nDr
 awing on the real-world experience of DFF Staff, we will be re-creatin
 g an Afghan town caught in the middle of the Global War on Terror, wit
 h tribal warfare as a back drop. Whether you choose to be a member of 
 the US Special Forces, the Afghan National Army, or a militant from Al
 -Qaeda, you are guaranteed to have an explosive and eye-opening game e
 xperience.\n\nScenario:\nSituated near the Afghan-Iran border, the tow
 n of Bozorg-Shemsh is no stranger to violence. Located in the Farah pr
 ovince, Bozorg-Shemsh is the stepping stone to the strategic Shindand 
 Airfield. The town has known strife and struggle for countless generat
 ions. It has traded hands between Tajik, Pashto, Uzbek, and Safavid fo
 r more than 400 years. During the Soviet-Afghan War, the province was 
 the capital of the communist movement. During the Taliban era, the tow
 n, as well as the rest of the province, was left largely alone, mostly
  due to their distance from any large population center.\nSince the Wa
 r on Terrorism began, the town has been subject to numerous Coalition 
 airstrikes, but there have been precious few soldiers on the ground. C
 ontrol of the Shindad Airfield not only means control of local airspac
 e, but it also provides a staging point for any follow attacks into Ir
 an. The Pashtun majority population is not supportive of Coalition eff
 orts. For this reason, Coalition commanders have sent in a specially s
 elected force. Two US Special Forces A-Teams have been sent in, reinfo
 rced by a company of Afghan National Army Commandos from the 207th Cor
 ps based out of Heart, to the north. It is hoped that this combination
  of skilled counter-insurgency operatives, given legitimacy by such a 
 large group of Afghans, can stem the tide of Taliban control in the to
 wn, and ultimately give control of the strategic airfield to NATO forc
 es.\n\n\nUniform Guidelines-\n\nUS Army Special Forces- Multicam\nAfgh
