Summer — Tangeh-ye Hormoz

THE STRAIT

Bandar-e Azadi is a working stronghold losing the production war. Carry the revolution through Deh-e Mahi, Bandargah, and Sahelabad — each liberated port raises its own gun and forge and joins the network. Cross the bay, break open the Zendan, and get the enriched material to ONAT without turning the coast to glass. The tide drains the Khoshki Bar on its own schedule, RA'D-O-BARQ surges it back, and every army that wants the far shore queues for POL-E AZADI. Six orders. One campaign. The strait opens.

Next: Operation Shahin →

Every port you free starts producing.

Bandar-e Azadi opens the campaign as a working stronghold — walls manned, forges lit, and losing. The Marshal's Paygah runs at twice your output. The only way to out-build him is to liberate the coast: every freed port raises its own gun and forge, joins the network, and shifts the production war one notch your way.

BANDAR-E AZADI

Home plate. The war quarter runs itself — barracks, motor pool, wall batteries — while you fly. Your crew answers the wire; you answer the war.

ONE WAR, TWO COLORS

Both shores build from the same doctrine — crimson and regime purple, gun for gun. Free the four towns and the Zendan and the network hits nearly triple its opening strength.

Six orders. One strait.

No belt of side pins this time — six orders, each one a place, and the strait doesn't open until the last of them is done.

01

LIBERATE DEH-E MAHI

The fishing port. Break the garrison, and the town raises its own gun and forge — the first notch in the network.

02

LIBERATE BANDARGAH

The harbor city — cranes, container rows, and a garrison dug in among the blocks. Take it street by street from the air.

03

LIBERATE SAHELABAD

The farm-belt town feeding both armies. Whoever holds it eats. Make it yours.

04

LIBERATE ZENDAN

The prison across the bay. The men inside have been waiting since the mutiny — and they know how to work a forge.

05

RECOVER THE NUCLEAR MATERIAL

The regime enriched it; you deliver it — gently, and to ONAT — without turning the coast to glass. The handoff flies on camera.

06

DESTROY PAYGAH

The Marshal's fortress on the far shore — twice your production until you starve it. The strait opens over its rubble.

The tide has a schedule. So does the storm.

Tangeh-ye Hormoz is the only campaign where the sea itself is a mission clock. The Khoshki Bar dries at the ebb and armies walk it; RA'D-O-BARQ rolls in off the gulf and surges it back under. Plan by the water or drown your column.

POL-E AZADI

The one causeway. Every army that wants the far shore queues for it — and it is destructible, once, forever. Drop it and live with the map you made.

THE LIVING STRAIT

Wreck reefs with sharks in residence, gunboat patrols, port traffic, and a tide that bares the bar on its own clock. None of it waits for you.

OIL, AGAIN

The west shore runs on the refinery. Everything in it is full, everything in it pours, and everything in it burns — same rules as Tondbad, bigger tanks.

RA'D-O-BARQ

The gulf thunderstorm: a slate shelf front, hanging rain shafts, procedural lightning — and a storm surge that rewrites the shoreline while it lasts.

Summer, on film.
