Over the last year and a half the nation of Turetel has been plauged by rebels which went unheeded to the international community, now that the election has passed and proved unreal with someone who didn't even run getting more votes then the most popular Turetelian! This could be stomached for awhile, the Communist Party of Turetel seemed okay, until they executed civilians and ex-government officials, now the people have formed the First People's Army, formed 8 months after the bloodshed began...

During the first few months the Communist Party seemed to be holding onto a small toe-hold of Turetelian politics, then when a car bomb killed Head of Security a week before the election someone in charge knew something was wrong. Head of Trade Earl Watson and Head of Civility Crystal both conferred but were shot down by the "mad" Clovian Champlain, the current Head of Forces. He spoke of simple riddles of infinite power and of holding onto and killing his opponents. The election brought about an end to free press and symbolized the end of the Turetelian prospering era. The only thing that got better was life, the Communist got everyone on their side with gifts and houses and cars. Then they took them back, not by asking, but by killing. Clovian Champlain is a mad-man in charge at the time until he elected a board of Communist to help lead the country jointly. At this point they led public executions and had the military purged of almost all of its Domestic Forces and replaced by heartless men and women...

Today began a new era of bloodshed, as the FPA marched 500,000 men strong to the Square of Governence and hung two communist officiers. The 31st Communist Infantry opened fire killing at least 30 and wonding hundreds. The people charged, some with small arms, some with knifes, some with 2 x 4's, and some held sabers.

Earl Watson, the 74th Infantry, the 1,011th Armoured, and the 2nd Marine Detachement were all but tattered soldiers now, having been purged and then exiled, but unable to leave the island. The only goal they had now, the remaining 13,000 men (used to be around 150,000) was to take over the main bank, TV Station, and Arms Factory. Only armed with sabers and pistols they made their charge...
