Story:
We revisit Tizzit 12 months after the tribal war between Tizzit and its Libyan warlord neighbour, Almukhtar, came to a close. You may recall that Almukhtar won a great victory over the Tizzit people, capturing their lucrative oil fields and breaking the heart of its ruler, by killing his only marriageable daughter.
Almukhtar has since grown wealthier selling Tizzit oil, whilst the Tizzits live a dust-bowl life, growing dates and making use of their plentiful water supplies for their plantations. It doesn’t generate the profits of oil extraction but it’s a living for the Tizzit people!
NATO still keeps a small contingent of soldiers out at the airport, but being stationed in Tizzit is considered a poor posting and most soldiers can’t wait to do their time and move on. Tizzit is a fly-blown backwater where not much has happened since the war last year.
However, it has been one of the driest winters in history in that part of North Africa.
Almukhtar faces a revolt from his people over the lack of water. Every household has been rationed to just a few litres per day and the citizens of the region of Libya that he controls, are growing restless.
His Tizzit neighbours have a large lake network and dam which provides irrigation for their date plantations, but he cares little for that.
Almukhtar decides that if he could divert the Tizzit water, it would satisfy the people in his region and remove the threat of an uprising.
The wars in other parts of the world have seen him lose his Russian Warner mercenaries to other conflicts, so he has hired Phoenix PMC again as he has heard that they had to evacuate from North Dongya after its CEO, Mason Granger was shot by a sniper.
Furthermore, with world events, the NATO countries are greedily eyeing the Tizzit reserves once more, which are now controlled by Almukhtar.
Approached, he has also made it quite clear that he will not sell oil to them, lest it upsets his existing customers.
When Almukhtar starts to tamper with the Tizzit water supply and suddenly the Tizzits are in drought and stand to lose their only source of revenue, it becomes a humanitarian crisis.
The West decide to send a peacekeeping force to restore order and save the Tizzits in the water crisis. They can’t directly break the new ceasefire, or control the flow of oil, but what if a privately financed group of mercenaries arrived to fight with the Tizzits?
Operation Scimitar 3 will be another adrenaline-fuelled weekend of tactics, asymmetrical warfare and role-play and is to be the fourteenth game in this exciting Bad-To-The-Bone series.
