I was in command of the only fireteam that had a light machine gun.Ī few tank rounds sounded off on the other side of Tskhinvali.

We were just three fire teams and two DShK heavy machine guns. With our objective in sight, we started taking positions and waiting for orders. It was strange that the fresh memories of the defeat during the first war were not kicking in. There is nothing comparable to the excitement and the cockiness a soldier feels during the first hours of a military operation, more so if no bullets have flown over his head yet. We never thought we would be defending and losing lives to this installation. Inconspicuous, dilapidated and unworthy of attention or repairs. As part of the forward elements of the forward elements of the 51st Light Infantry Battalion, Georgian Land Forces, we entered South Ossetia a few hours ago, our destination some patch of woods near an underground cable inspection station. The only Russian Army personnel on the south side of the Caucasus were the 'peacekeeping' forces in Tskhinvali, although we heard that a company of paratroopers have landed near the city of Poti.

The narrative is in the first person, so brace yourself for some cheesy literature and an ESOL downfall. The real location of this firefight is somewhere in Bukovina, the intention being to portray a location a few kilometers south of Tskhinvali. This is a custom-made, single player scenario played in ArmA 2 modified with the Georgian Armed Forces mod and the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation mod.
