Set in 2010, the rising super power of North Korea is finally forcing a dominant foothold on the world stage. Four years of political negotiations with the country on its development of nuclear armaments have finally broken down leaving international relations at an all time low.
US forces are currently stationed just outside the South Korean city of Seoul, approximately 60 kilometers from the North Korean border, while coalition inspectors investigate key nuclear sites for evidence of weapon production.
The current leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-il, is seen on an international television broadcast threatening action against the west and key members of the coalition, demanding the immediate withdrawl of all US forces from the border and the removal of the inspection teams currently stationed there. After 3 days of the threats being issued, US camps just inside South Korea are attacked and destroyed by a large North Korean contingency force sweeping along the border.
In the face of a sudden and most serious escalation in the crisis the coalition forces of the USA, China, Russia, Japan and South Korea are left with no alternative but to intervene with military action. Leaving the nuclear intentions of Kim Jong-il and the outcome of what could be a catastrophic war uncertain to all those involved and the world at large.
