Arnollia invaded by Royal Marines

Breaking news of a seaborne invasion by Royal Marines:

All next week a worldwide virtual war is being fought. Soldiers, warships, jets, and unmanned drones from the US, UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand are combining in cyberspace to form "Task Force BISON," which will join NATO's "Task Force ATLANTICA" to mount massive amphibious landings in a conflict-stricken West African warzone.

In the simulated world, however, the western USA takes the place of Africa. California becomes the fictional country "Arnollia," bounded to the north by the "Wassegon Republic" and to the east by the expanionist, aggressive nation of "Nevatan".

In the wargame, evil Nevatan plans to destabilise neighbouring governments and seize control of "Terrizona" are thwarted in all-out war by the hard-charging Task Force BISON. British marines storm the beachhead at San Diego, capturing the vital harbour so heavy armoured units can move ashore.

Sounds like fun: in my day we only ever got to wargame against the "Fantasian People's Republic", usually against a random-numbered "Motorized Rifle Division". Of course, back then, our theoretical battalion barely mustered enough troops and equipment to make a light infantry company (on a very good day), so active defence was pretty much all we could realistically practice.
