The Count has finally been unmasked, and traced to a base in the tortuous Albanian mountains. Maric's reconnaissance team has six days to get in and out with enough intel for the main NATO/US task force before it parachutes in.

The NATO ground forces are closing in on the mountain base when they come under fire from a storm of cruise missiles. Where are they coming from, and how can they be stopped?
