"...We are surrounded on all sides and have been trying to communicate with the closest friendly forces, but we are not sure if the radio is working well, we urgently need to get us out of here or they will pass us over."
- Russian PF Corporal Igor Litvinov, 131st Motorized Infantry Brigade.

The ceasefire between the leaders of the ChDKZ paramilitary movement and the Chernarussian government, sponsored by the Russian Federation, is now one year since its signing. As military tensions between the two factions increased again, Russia deployed a peacekeeping force in the Green Sea country to ensure compliance with the agreed terms of the ceasefire between the two sides, act as mediator for the opening of new negotiations for the cessation of hostilities (there was another attempt in 2010 by the Chernarussian government), and to offer security to the communities of Russian ethnic group from the province of Southern Zagoria, in danger from anti-Russian actions perpetrated by groups allegedly linked to the "Chedaki" (local term to refer to the ChDKZ movement and its members).

On October 6, ChDKZ forces violated the terms of the ceasefire and crossed the provisional demilitarized line, taking by surprise the Russian peacekeepers, who were ordered by the central command to fall back to the south. During the withdrawal, a section of the 131st Motorized Infantry Brigade did not receive such an order due to radio communication problems and was isolated before the enemy advance in the village of Grishino. Now the Russian unit is sheltering in the local Orthodox church, whose priest has allowed them to give first aid to the wounded in it.

Now you and your unit, trapped and surrounded by Chedaki forces, must defend the local church of St. Alexander Nevsky as the last opportunity to hold the push until reinforcements arrive, if the radio has worked to warn any friendly unit nearby about the unsustainable situation that your section of Russian peacekeepers is facing...

A whole explanation of the plot is in the briefing of the mission.
