27-28th February 1991, Desert Storm - VII Corps finds the Medina Republican Guard Division dug in behind the crest of a hill, and the violent Battle of Medina Ridge erupts. After a difficult approach, US Marines take the Kuwait City International Airport without much resistence. Kuwaitis march into their own capital, celebrating their liberation. The race to destroy the last of the Republican Guard before they can escape, is on.
