Guardian Angel

� Somewhere in Northern Kazakhstan a battle between a USA Armored division ended badly against the GLA aggressors and have been forced to retreat through the cold mountain passes, with the GLA attack force in full pursuit. The fleeing USA forces defended themselves from their pursuers but ultimately they were outmatched by the vast GLA forces, slowly being overrunned by their faster vehicles.

A distress call managed to get through and the General has been directed to a local airforce base stationed in the mountains, with orders to hold the enemy off until 100 US personel and vehicles have made it to the safezone. The base was put on red alert and the first three comanches lifted off. Chinooks were ordered to quickly gather the munitions and supplies in the base while other comanches were quickly being armed and fueled from whatever supplies the base had on hand. The comanches already in the air took positions in the mountain pass and awaited their fleeing allies.

As the first US platoon passed through, their spirits lifted as they saw their angels in the air. Minutes later, a pursuing unit of GLA tanks technicals came rushing after them. The comances were ready, opening fire on the surprised GLA forces as their tanks and vehicles became flaming wreckages. The fleeing forces suffered minimal casualties as they quickly left the battlegrounds. The control room in the airfield cheered at their first success, but their work isn't over. The second groups from both sides met with the same results, but this time a small detachment was spotted breaking off from the pursuit force. The base defenses and defenders scrambled what vehicles they could muster and stood to meet their enemies. A portion of the comanches were ordered to divert their assets back to the base defenses, reducing the amount of cover on the already dminishing US ground forces.

Things were turning for the worse as the third attack group had brought in their quad cannons. Concentrating fire on the quads, they left the exhausted US ground teams open to attack. Some comanches were shot down during the engagement and with the enemies about to overrun their friends, they were ordered to unload all available rockets on the enemy. The ensuing rocket barrage decimated the pursuing force and saved what little was left of the third portion. Meanwhile the base defenses were holding on, but casualties were mounting as their irreplacable vehicles were slowly being worn down and destroyed. AT the same time base supplies have run short, unable to get anymore Comanches off the ground. Luckily a comanche pilot spotted a bay of unused supplies by an abandoned oil refinery across the cannon. The General ordered the supplies to be retrieved and the bold chinooks travelled across the battleground to retrieve the supplies needed for the comanches. Seeing things were dire, an A-10 strike was authorized for use on the fourth wave. With new comanches joining the fray, the more numerous GLA forces were unable to break through the rockets and bullets raining from above, despite their quads downing a few more comanches. It was a victory the pilots could never forget as they saw off their battle exhausted friends retreat to the safezone. But before they have the chance to return back to base, a warning came to their comms. The remnants of the pursuit force were making a last ditch attempt on controlling the area and were heading towards their base. The defenders braced for the attack and met them with� stiff resistance. With the defences about to be breached things were about to look grim when overhead the sound of choppers were heard. The comanches had returned and took positions behind the remnant GLA's and began to mow them down with rockets and chainguns. IN less than a minute, the last GLA man had fallen, the airbase secured from attack, and the retreating force finally getting the breather they desperately needed
