In an act of misplaced nationalist fervor,  Kirghiz dissidents have seized the military and political structures in Kazhakstan.  From their centers of control in Semipalatinsk,  these brigands have crossed into Siberia and have overwhelmed the defenses in Rubtsovsk and the rail lines at Barnaul.  You will lead Federation forces into the rail center at Chesnokovka,  where elite Spetnaz troops are slowing the Kirghiz thrust. Chesnokovka is a nerve center for the Trans-Siberian Railway.  Our ability to shift forces against the Chinese assault depends on your success.
